AN: I do not own OUAT, but I do admire the show. Please feel free to review. Happy Reading.

Killian slowly cracks open the door, trying not to make a sound. He sees Emma sitting on the couch reading a book. Most likely the Once Upon a Time book, Killian thinks to himself. Ever since they moved to the Enchanted Forest she has been trying to refresh on the "real" fairytale stories. She is focused on book, with a slight smile across her face. Her back is mostly to him so she couldn't see the door cracking open.

Before he advances further into the house, Killian just watches and admires. Emma is sitting in the sunlight, which is shining on her perfectly. She looks like an angel. Her long blonde hair is glowing, and her skin looks like it had been kissed by the sun. Doesn't help that she is also wearing a long cream dress to add to her angelic appearances. She embodies beauty to Killian. Not wanting to disturb her, Killian tiptoes in.

He is at the right angle where she can't see him, nor what he is hiding behind his back. Killian finally reaches Emma and he sweetly kisses her on the top of her head.

"Jesus Killian!" Emma screams. She drops the book on the floor as her hands flail as she gets ready to attack her mysterious kisser. "Is there a reason you are trying to scare you pregnant wife?!"

Killian chuckles and gives Emma a real kiss. Even though it has only been a few hours since he had been away, their kisses are as passionate as if they saw each other for the first time in a year.

"I didn't mean to, well, I kinda did, love. I wanted to surprise you." He says with a grin, as Killian pulls the roses out from behind his back and hands them to Emma. They are yellow roses: her favorite. They remind Emma of her old car back in Storybrooke. Her bug was the thing she missed the most since coming to the Enchanted Forest. She beams and quickly forgives her husband for scaring her.

"Do you mind helping me up off this couch?" Emma asks politely. She is about eight months pregnant and pretty large already. While she tries to continue to remain a beacon of independence, she caves every now and again to make Killian feel needed.

Without missing a beat, Killian runs around the couch, and gently helps Emma up to her feet. As soon as she is standing, Killian places his hand on her stomach. "How are you feeling today?"

"I am doing ok. Mary Margaret and David stopped by earlier today to check in on me. They want us to move into the castle after the baby is born." Killian saw the look of mixed emotions on her face.

"Why don't we walk to kitchen, ok love? I will make us some hot chocolate, and we can talk about it there."

Emma looked at Killian and nodded, and with her arm hooked in Killian's she begins to waddle towards the kitchen.

After what seemed like forever to get to the kitchen, Emma's temper quickly flares. "All I wanted was a small home for our wedding present! And what do we get?! A mansion! Do you know how much easier this would be if I got the small cottage I asked for?!" Emma yells. She gets tired quickly and it takes them twice as long as it normally would to get around because of her "condition."

"Emma," Killian kisses his wife on the cheek, "they just wanted what they thought was best for us."

"And for them, we practically live in their backyard!"

Emma is right. If you were to look out some of their windows you could see the castle. Their house was not as secluded as either Killian or Emma would like, but it was a present. When Emma was in a good mood, she liked being so close to her parents. Family dinners occurred often, and it allowed for her to see her baby brother, James, from time to time. However, her mood swings were hard to predict, and right now, she is not happy.

Killian begins to make the hot chocolate while Emma gets situated in a chair.

"I think I finally settled on names for the baby." Killian states. Even though they were close to having the baby, they still haven't decided on baby names. Emma's ears perk up, she enjoys talking about baby names, or anything baby related. And this was a neutral topic to talk about while he waited for the milk to warm up for the hot chocolate.

"Ok, I am I listening."

"Well I was thinking, for a boy, Liam, after my brother. And if it is a girl, I grew fond of the name Minerva."

Emma smiles, "Minerva, where did you come up with that name?"

"While we were in Storybrooke, Henry showed me these popular stories, Harry Potter, if I remember correctly. There was a character named Minerva, she seemed strong, brave, smart, and loving. Everything we would want in a daughter."

"Do you know that Minerva is the Roman goddess for wisdom and war?"

"Who or What is Roman?"

Emma chuckles, and waves Killian to come over by her for a second. She kisses and whispers, "I like the names; I think they are very fitting."

Killian goes back to making hot chocolate with cinnamon, of course. He makes a cup for each of them and sits down. "Do you want to talk about your parents, or not right now?"

Emma sips her hot chocolate and pauses for a moment. "I think I would like to save it for another night. Henry is with Regina so we have the place to ourselves. Soon, we will never be alone so I would like to enjoy your company while I have it."

Killian did not mind this idea at all, he just feared that this topic lingering over Emma's head would only make things worse. Alas, he let her have her way. "As you wish love. However," he puts his hand on her stomach, and kisses it. "we are not alone, not really."

Killian has mixed feelings about being a parent. Of course he would never show it. Since coming to the Enchanted Forest everything seemed to settle into place. It did not take long for Emma to admit her feelings to him, and about a year after that they got married. It didn't believe that your wedding day was the happiest day of your life until he was standing at the alter, and Emma was talking towards him. He never thought he could ever be this happy since Milah died. But he learned quickly that this is what true happiness was about. With everything going so smoothly, he was afraid that having a baby, while a blessing, would ruin his happy ending. He didn't know the first thing about being a father.

Emma knew about Killian's apprehension towards becoming a dad, being a human lie-detector and all, but she never pushed for him to talk about it. After being together for two years, Emma has learned that Killian will talk about things when he wants to, regardless of how Emma feels about the situation. Emma had faith in him though, she saw how he was with Henry. The poor kid, not only did he have a biological mom, Emma, and a biological dad, Neal, he had an adoptive mother, Regina, and now she was with Robin Hood, so that would make him, adoptive father figure, and Hook, was Step-Dad. It got complicated, but Henry handled it like a champ. Henry was probably more excited than Killian when Emma and Killian got together. A pirate for a step-dad, now that was pretty cool. The boys would spend nights talking about pirate stories, or Killian giving Henry tips on how to woo a young lass. Emma would often sit back and watch as the two loves of her life became closer and closer friends.

Emma sees the doubt running through Killian's head. She squeezes his hand, "Why don't we head to bed?" Killian wasn't going to object, Emma's sleeping habits have required that she get more sleep since she became pregnant, and she didn't like going to bed alone.

Killian helps her up the stairs to their bedroom. "Emma?"

"Mmhmm?" She asks, trying to focus on getting ready for bed. Killian sits on the bed and couldn't help but stare. She wears the pregnant belly well. Since their meeting at the bean stalk, Killian has always found Emma beautiful. And throughout time, he has been shown over and over again how right he was.

"I love you, Swan. You are absolutely beautiful." He walks over to her, wraps his arms around her from behind and kisses her cheek. "I am the luckiest pirate in the world to have landed a lass such as yourself."

Emma turns around, stands on her tiptoes and kisses Killian. "I love you too, Killian. I am so excited to have this baby with you." She smiles as Killian heads back over to the bed to wait until Emma was done using the bathroom.

He sits on the on bed remembering how at the bean stalk, Emma hit him like a brick wall. He couldn't have stopped falling for her, even if he tried. And now, he was unbelievably happy. Killian was head over heels in love with Emma and would do just about anything for her. He was excited for their little bundle of joy as well. He could only imagine how much love their baby is going to get from both parents, and how much his love for Emma will grow as she takes on the role of full-time mother of their baby.

"KILLIAN!" Emma screams.

Millions of thoughts race through his head. He jumps off of the bed and into their bathroom. "Emma? What's wrong?" He begins to panic.

Emma stares at him and says plainly "my water just broke." Killian is filled with excitement, their baby was on its way. And then worry, their baby was on its way! Killian runs to the window to signal to the castle that Emma was going into labor so Mary Margaret and Charming could come over. He goes over to Emma one more time and kisses her on the lips.

"Killian, we are going to be wonderful parents." She says, trying to remain calm.

"I know." Killian grins, as he pushes her hair behind her ears. He turns back to the room to go grab what they needed for the delivery, and

Killian wakes up.
