Five months into their daughter's pregnancy, the Charmings decided to put together a baby shower for their daughter despite how much she begged them not to do anything special for her. Being the good parents they are, they ignored her because they wanted to do something for their daughter with having missed the first 28 years of her life. It wasn't going to be anything huge, just a simple get together celebrating Emma and Killian's baby. As much as Emma didn't want a baby shower, she went anyways. She couldn't be mad at her parents for putting something together.
"Thanks mom and dad for this baby shower," Emma said as she greeted her parents. She watched as Henry bolted for the cake. "Hey kid, don't eat to much cake. Only 2 slices ok?"
"Ok mom," Henry said cutting himself a huge slice before head over to the ice cream.
"You really didn't have to do all this," Emma said as she took in how many of her friends were able to come: Robin, Regina, Gold and Belle, Blue, Ruby, and the dwarfs.
"Oh we had to," Mary Margret said grinning has sneput her arm qround David.
"I suggested something smaller but yrou know how your mom can be," David said with a laugh.
"David!"
"What? You can get a little carried away."
"I know, but it's Emma. How could I not get carried away?"
"Thanks mom," Emma said before walking away to chat with the other guests. Eventually she made her way outside only to find Killian with a bottle of rum. "You're hiding from the party too?"
"I've never been one for celebrations," he said motioning for her to sit down. She walked over and sat down in the metal seat next to him and closed her eyes as she leane against her husband. He placed his hand ln her round belly and started drawling tiny circles. Emma smirked, she loved it when he drew on her stomach. They sat there in silence enjoying each others compay until Emma finally broke the silence.
"Killian?"
"Yes love?"
"Are you nervous about the baby coming?"
"No, we still have a few months left to finish getting ready."
"I know, but I mean about being a dad, because I don't know if I can do this whole parenting thing. I never had the chance to do this with Henry." She paused for a moment. "What if my magic accidently hurts the baby?"
"You are not going to hurt the baby, love. I promise. You'll be the best mom for our little pirate." Hook continuted to rub her stomach, mainly becaus it calmed Emma. "Honestly, I'm terrified." Emma chuckled.
"How are you terrified? You've faced Blackbeard and Rumplestitlskin."
"They we're men, lass, not a tiny human." He had a point. After a while Emma sat up and turned to face Hook.
"Killian, what if someone tries to take our baby away?" He could her the fear in her voice.
"No one is going to take away our baby, especially if your father and I have anything to say about it." Emma sighed and leaned against him again. He ran his fingers through her blonde hair, another thing that helped to calm her.
"I love you Killian Jones."
"I love you Emma Jones. Wow, it still sounds weird saying Emma Jones instead of Emma Swan." Emma laughed and turned around to pull her pirate into a kiss. It was a deep passionate kiss, one that seemed to convy all the feels they had but couldn't put into words. They were moments like these that Emma enjoyed, ones that just kept confirming her love for him and how happy she was that he was the father of her child. They barely heard the diner door open when Mary Margret walked out.
"Whoa. Uh, sorry. I'll just go back inside-"
"Mom, wait," Emma called back pulling away from the kiss.
"No it's fine, I just wanted to see if you wanted to go through the gifts, but you two seem perfectly content."
"We can come in."
"Are you sure honey?"
"We're sure. It is better that you found us rather than David," Killian said standing to help his wife up.
"Well if your sure, your father and I have something to give you." Emma's hand found Killian's and they intertwinded fingers before following Snow inside. To their left was a booth with baby gift stacked on it. Hook and Emma took turns opening gifts. They were just your typical gifts: diapers, bottles, clothes, nothing out of the ordinary, until the Charmings presented their gift.
"Emma, your father and I want to give you this necklace," Mary Margret said taking the gift out.
"It was Ruth's, your grandmother," David said.
"It's what told us that we were going to have a baby girl." Emma and Killian exchanged smiles. "And we want you to have it."
"Thanks," Emma said reaching for the necklace. It was beautiful. "Um, how does it work?"
"Here," Snow said taking the necklace back. "You hold your hand out and hold it over your palm. If it swings north to south, it's a boy.= but if it swings east to west, it's a girl."
"Well, do you want to try it," Emma asked looking at her husband.
"I don't see why not," Hook replied. Emma held out her hand, palm up. Mary Margret held the necklace above her daughter's hand. Slowly, the neclace started to swing east to west.
"It's a girl," Snow said in excitment. The whole diner burst in to apluse.
Emma turned to Killian smiling, "We're having a girl!"
"Aye, love. We're having a girl," Hook said with a grin on his face. Emma grabbed the collar of Hook's vest and pulled him into a kiss, causing the diner to aplued more.
One by one people congradulated them as they left until it was just the Charmings and the Jones left. They couples took a seat at a booth.
"Why don't I grab some hot chocolate with cinnimon," David said standing up. "Who wants some?" Emma and Snow raised their hands.
"Can I mom," Henry asked.
"Sure kid. Why not," Emma said as she leaned over to rest her head on Killian's shoulder. Henry lept up in excitment and ran over to the counter to help is grandfather. "Thanks mom for pulling everything together tonigt."
"Oh it was nothing," Mary Margret said as she rocked Neal to sleep.
"I hope the the new princess sleeps as soundly as Neal does."
"All babies are different," Mary Margret said as David returned with the drinks. They sat there for a little while chating. By the time they decided to leave it was alreay 11:36 pm. By that time Henry was passed out in the booth behind them. Killian helped Emma to the car as David carried Henry for them.
"Well I guess we'll se you tomorrow then mates," Killian said before climbing into the bug. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight," David said as he started walking with his wife down the sidewalk.
