A/N: I just want to mention that for those that requested muliple numbers I'm taking the first one then moving on to the next person who asked for a number to make it fair and then I'll come back to the others when my current list has been done. Thank you.

078:"Do you wanna know the sex of the baby?

"So, did you find what you're having?" asked Snow as soon as her daughter and son-in-law were settled on the couch at the loft.

They'd not long returned from Emma's mid pregnancy scan with Whale and after assertaining that all was well, Snow couldn't wait to ask her burning question.

"I would hope a baby," Killian quipped dryly, earning a mildly reproving look and light slap on the arm from his wife.

"No, our stubborn child wouldn't co-operate," Emma answered her mother with a slightly disappointed smile.

"Takes after you already, love," Killian commented in amusement, garnering another, slightly more irritated glance.

"Oh...well, never mind, it'll be a nice surprise," Snow decided brightly as she placed a plate of sandwiches on the table in front of them.

"Aye, it will," Killian concurred, clasping his wife's hand and giving her a small smile, knowing that she was disappointed at not discovering the sex of their child.

"Yeah, they're not always accurate anyway," Emma admitted with a shrug as she reached for some food.

"That's true," her mother agreed with a nod then she paused, a slight frown creasing her brow as a thought occurred. Suddenly, she patted Emma on the leg and said, "Hang on, I might have something else you can use instead."

Emma watched her mother hurry off to her bedisde cabinet then turned and gave Killian questioning look as she munched on her sandwich. He seemed as baffled as her over Snow's departure and even more so when she reappeared in front of them holding up a silver pendant on a chain.

"What's that?" asked Emma, eyeing the bird symbol on the round talisman curiously.

"It belonged to David's mother. It was enchanted by a gypsy and can tell you whether you'll have a boy or a girl," Snow explained. Her expression turned wistful as she added softly, "It predicted that I'd have you...and Neal."

Emma took the jewellery and studied it for a few moments before looking back up at Snow.

"How does it work?"

"Just put your hand out and hold it over the top. If it swings north to south it's a boy, east to west a girl," Snow told her.

"Allow me," Killian requested, holding out his hand for the pendant.

Emma gave it to him then turned her hand palm up and waited with a nervous thrill of anticipation as he held the necklace aloft. It took a few moments to move but when it did the parents to be looked at each other with utter joy.

"A girl," Emma murmured, feeling the tears prick at her eyes.

"And I'll wager she'll look just like you," Killian remarked happily.

A little over four months later he was proved right.
