Emma sat on the toilet in the home she shared with her husband and son. In her hands was a little pink and white stick that had a window on it reading 'pregnant'. Emma took a deep breath as a small bout of panic ran through her. Despite being married to her true love for a little over three years now this news through a wrench into things, or so that was her first thought. Killian and Emma had talked about having kids together but they never really had a plan, and that's what scared her the most. What if Killian wasn't ready? What if he didn't want it? Or worse what if he wanted to get rid of it? In the first few minutes these were the questions that ran through her head making tears prick the corners of her eyes. Those questions quickly dissipated as new more pleasant ones to their places. It's something they wanted in the future, and the future was now. Killian will be an amazing father, she could see it in the way he treats Henry. The tears of sadness were now becoming tears of joy. Now she just needed to find the perfect way to tell Killian.
Emma stood up and moved from the bathroom and moved to the room she shared with her husband. She sat down on the bed and pulled up Pinterest on her phone. She needed something that was easy enough for a man over two hundred years old that could barely understand a cell phone to comprehend. She scrolled through the pages stopping at a few, she liked the idea of putting it on a plate, but then she assumed he wouldn't pay too much attention to that and miss it. She also found a couple of funny ones but knew he wouldn't get it. When she finally found something, she liked she quickly ordered what she needed and then slipped the pregnancy test into the nightstand on her side of the bed.
Three days later her package finally arrived and she was finally able to give her husband the big news. Killian was out on patrol that day so she had the whole house to herself for another half an hour. The woman hurried upstairs to her room opened her package and pulled out a white onesie and a smile spread across her lips. It was perfect. Emma folded the onesie and set it to the side and then grabbed the gift box she bought the other day and put the onesie inside. Her final step was to grab the pregnancy test and place it on top. She knew that he wouldn't understand what it was at first which excited her, she loved seeing the confused face he would make. His brow crinkling and his lips curling. It was one of her favorite looks on him.
Emma took the small box downstairs and set it on the table in the foyer where they put there keys and then put a tag with Killian's name on it. She stared at the package for a moment; admiring her handy work. If she had to say so, she'd say did a pretty good job. She looked toward the door expecting Killian to walk in but then turned to head into the kitchen to start dinner.
Killian walked in about ten minutes later, his shift had completely exhausted him. His eyes drooped slightly with tiredness, so it wasn't until he went to throw his keys into the little dish on the table that he noticed the package. "What. . ." He whispered to himself before lifting the gift up and reading the tag. To: Killian; From: Emma. Killian's brown scrunched together as he held the tag in his hands.
"Love?!" The pirate called out to his wife.
"In the Kitchen babe." Killian heard her call back and then followed her voice as he stared at the package flipping it around in his hands.
"What is this?" He asked finally looking up at her.
"Open it and find out." Emma said glancing over her shoulder at him and smirking slightly. Killian gave her a questioning look before nodding and slowly untying the ribbon and then pulling off the top of the box. Killian stared at the stick for about ten seconds before he lifted it out and turned it over.
"What is this contraption? Is it supposed to be a toy?" He asked his nose crinkling up and his brow scrunching together.
"Read it." Emma said simply before finally turning completely toward him and leaning around the counter. Killian flipped it around a few more times setting the box next to him and then finally finding the little screen on the stick. He stared at it for a moment and then looked at Emma who had a large smile on her face. "There's more." She said as she nodded her head toward the box.
Killian stared at her for a moment her mouth ajar and then turned toward the box and pulled out the onesie that Emma had ordered a few days earlier. He holds it out and reads it out loud. "Surprise, you're going to be a dad." When the final word hits him, he freezes and lets it all sink in before he looks at Emma again.
For a moment, all the fear that she had when she first found out about the baby hit her again and she sucked in a breath as she waited for him to say something. Anything.
"You are. . . we are. . . I'm. . . Is this real?" He asked as he flipped the onesie around, expecting there to be a joke on the back.
"It's real Killian. . . we're going to have a baby." She said her voice cracking a bit in fear.
"A baby." He repeated before clutching the onesie in his hand and then grinning from ear to ear. "I'm going to be a father." He said stepping closer to Emma and then pulling her into him.
"So you're happy?" Emma asked looking into his eyes and biting her lip.
"Happy? Aye love. . . I am happy."
