Three words

Rated T

AN: Emma grew up in fairytale land raised by Charming and Snow. She has big news for her parents. The three words that she tells them is one of every parent's worst nightmares. How will Charming and Snow take the news? I own nothing.

There were three words that are every father's worst nightmare to hear your daughter say especially when she was only eighteen. Prince Charming gripped the arms of his throne as those words let his daughter Emma's mouth as she stood in front of him. "What?" He asked her hoping that he had heard her wrong. His blue eyes grew large looking at his daughter wearing a cream dress standing in front of his and Snow's throne chairs.

"I am pregnant." Emma repeated more loudly the second time as her scared green eyes danced from between her parents. They both had a look of shock but her father's eyes were filled with anger.

Charming's pulled his eyes off his daughter to meet his wife's eyes for a moment before they flew to Pinocchio standing as a guard in the room, "It was you, Pinocchio?! It had to be you're the only man that has ever been alone with Emma." He exclaimed starting to get up his chair while Snow grabbed him protesting.

"Ew, gross!" Emma exclaimed crinkling up her nose in disgust feeling her morning sickness return at the thought looking over at Pinocchio, who look offended. "Sorry but it is gross you are like a brother to me!" She told her good friend putting her hand up to her chest.

"Who is the father?" Snow asked her daughter in a low calm voice but was far from it. She took Charming's hand in hers squeezing it in reassurance.

"Me, your majesty." They heard a voice with an Irish accent reply as one of the guards took a step forward taking off his helmet. Snow and Charming's eyes grew larger stunned that Graham one of their best knights was responsible for getting their daughter pregnant. "I love your daughter very much. I have since the moment I saw her." He added running his hand through his unruly curly brown hair looking very nervous and determined. Graham's eyes giving her a look of such love and devotion that it almost took her breath away every time he looked at her.

Charming got up off the throne chair with a murderous glare in his eyes taking strides towards the knight he had trusted pulling out with a sword. "No Daddy, please. I love him." Emma yelled out moving in front of the man that she loved more than life it's self as tears filled her eyes.

Snow ran blocking her husband from walking any further seeing the way her daughter and Graham looked at each other, "Move Snow!" Charming told her in a firm angry tone.

"NO! I am not happy that my eighteen year old is pregnant but killing Graham is going to solve anything." Snow said to him getting his attention. "They look at each other the same way that we do. " Charming looked into his true love's eyes putting his sword away. Snow let out a deep breath of relief then looked over at the other knights in the room. Everyone but Graham and Emma please leave." She ordered causing the guards to leave the room faster then she had ever seen them move before but Pinocchio was moving slowly looking back with worry. Snow caught Pinocchio and Graham glaring at one another and realized that Pinocchio loved her daughter but her daughter only had eyes for the huntsman they had turned into a knight. She remembered the night that Emma first met Graham a year ago and now looking back she could recall the two of them could barely take their eyes of each other that night and every time since then they were together. "You loved her from the moment that you saw her." Snow whispered softly looking at Graham who nodded at her.

"I have tried not to love her but I couldn't stop loving her, your highness. Emma deserved better than me so I didn't pursue her. "Graham confessed to the Princess hoping that she would not hate him. He had considered Snow and Charming to be his friends and family now he felt as though he was losing them.

"I found him alone in the garden one night. He tried to leave but I stopped him telling him that I wanted him to stay. Graham said that it wasn't right. I told him that I didn't care that I wanted him to stay more than anything in the world and to kiss me." Emma said smiling looking at the man that she loved. "I already knew that I loved him but I knew that night that I would never love anyone ever the way that I loved him."

Snow glanced over at her husband to see his anger melting away at seeing the love between Emma and Graham. She knew that Charming was upset and angry that Emma was pregnant and not married but the happiness on Emma's face made it impossible to be furious with her.

"I would like your permission to marry Emma." Graham said to James and Snow dropping to one knees before glancing at a surprised Emma.

"The only permission that you need is from our daughter." James replied watching his daughter's green eyes fill up with elation falling into Graham's arms.

"Yes, I will marry you!" Emma exclaimed pulling Graham into a loving passionate kiss as tears of happiness rolled down her cheeks.

"There will be ground rules until you are married." James voice pulled them out of their celebration kiss.

"Charming, we will go over the rules later." Snow firmly told him before smiling at her daughter and future son-in-law. "I hoped you would find a man that makes you as happy as your father makes me. " She said to her daughter with tears in eyes pulling her daughter into a hug.

"Thank your majesty. I'm beyond honored to marry Emma." Graham told Charming with a nod.

"If you make my daughter happy that is all that matters. If you hurt her than you will not live to regret it." Charming warned him smiling but the look in his eyes showed Graham that he meant every word.

"Stop it." Snow called out pulling elbowing her husband then pulled Graham into a hug whispering. "Charming won't kill you if you hurt Emma. It will be me so you better treat her right." Snow whispered to him. "Welcome to the family." She added cheerfully.

Emma looked at her father nervously, "Do you hate me, daddy?" Emma asked him fearfully as Charming pulled her to him putting his hands on her cheeks staring at his daughter lovingly.

"I could never hate you, Emma. You are my daughter and I love you so much no matter what. You will soon know what I mean." He smiled at his daughter causing her to tear up. He hugged her to him kissing the top of her head holding her tightly.
