Hey there guys! This is my new multi-chapter AU fanfiction - Over The Years! This story will be many chapters, each one talking about a new stage in their childhood. This is only the prologue, so it is VERY short, but it just sort of puts up the foundations for their lives. More specifically Emma's. Reviews feed my muse, so if you want this to continue quickly, please do R I do not own OUaT, or the adorable Killian and Emma.
6 hours of long childbirth - Screams, echoing around the hospital section. Two women, on opposite hallways, going through labour, until finally their screeches were silenced and new, smaller ones arrived. Screams that would belong to newborn children in their first seconds of life, followed by the gushing of new parents and nurses that were bustling around the area. In one of the rooms, a baby boy with a wisp of dark hair on his little head.
" Oh, he's a handsome one! " One of the nurses cooed down at the child who was opening and closing his mouth, babbling with little baby noises and giving off small giggles. " What do you think you will call him? " She looked up at the mother and father, the former cradling the small being. The woman gazed down at her child, light damp hair spilling down to tickle the child's soft skin. " Killian. Killian Jones. " She replied quietly, smiling faintly.
Meanwhile, in the other room, a dark-haired woman was speaking softly to her husband. " You know we can't, David. " She was murmuring, but he seemed unwilling to do whatever they were discussing. " But... " He began, then seemed to think rationally and just hung his head. " I know. " The male replied quietly after a long moment, a small tear slipping down his cheek, his big hand brushing their baby daughter's soft cheek.
" This is hard for me too. I'd do anything - anything - to be able to keep her. But we have no choice. " She choked out, then turned to a nurse who was bustling around their room. " We aren't going to keep her. " She announced, and said nurse blinked at them, bemused and rather shocked. " Y-You aren't? " The white-robed woman stuttered, walking over to the couple and child. The father gave a soft nod. " Um... Okay. We can do that. But, would you like to name her first? "
The two exchanged a look, and he raised his head to meet the nurse's gaze. " Emma. We wish to call her Emma. "
