Emma held out a small package for Killian to open, a smile on her face. "What's this my love?" He asked curiously, turning the package over to inspect it. She shrugged curiously. "Just open it." She told him, watching his hands. He used the hook to rip open the paper and once that fell away, there was only a small box left to open. The threw it down on the counter and used his hand to lift the lid. He pulled out the contents and looked at his Swan, confused. "What is this thing?" He asked. She lifted it from his hands and held up the tiny baby outfit. 'Cute like my daddy' the front read, on a pale yellow background.
"Wait…is this…is this for our baby? Are you pregnant?" He asked suddenly, everything clicking into place in his brain. Emma laughed and nodded. "Yes!" She cried out. "Yes, you're going to be a daddy." She told him happily. Killian almost fell over, but managed to sit down on the nearby seat. He hid his face with his hand and began to cry gently. Emma walked to his side and stroked his hair, comforting him. "Hey….it's going to be okay…" She told him. He shook his head and stood up, wrapping his arms around her tightly. "I'm not sad Emma, I'm happy….i'm so happy." He whispered.
Emma was sitting on the sofa with little Liam when she told him about her second pregnancy. He'd just finished up a shift at the Sheriff's station, a job they now shared since Liam had been born. It meant that they both had time off to spend with Liam. He greeted with a kiss and then took Liam from her, snuggling his baby boy. "Do you like his outfit?" Emma asked him, smiling at her husband. "Yeah.." He told her absently, without really looking at the boy's clothes.
"Babe, look at his outfit." She told him. When Killian looked at his son's outfit, his mouth dropped open. It was the 'World's Best Big Brother' shirt that made him so shocked. "I got one for Henry too, but he wasn't so keen to wear it." She laughed.
Killian pulled her into him arms and kissed her temple. "Oh Swan!" He cried out happily. He then kissed Liam, who was grinning at his daddy. "Are you going to be a big brother?" He cooed.
She knew that their third would be their last child, so she wanted to make it a memorable one for him. She wasn't going to get another chance to surprise him with this kind of thing again. She planned for weeks and it was starting to get hard to hide her growing stomach. Her boobs had already started to grow and he had made a comment or two about them, which she just blew off and made jokes about. She had her parents in on this one, as well as Henry, and they'd all helped her to plan a great surprise.
Liam was five and Amelia was three, so Emma was excited for them to understand that they were going to have a new sibling soon, as Liam had been a little baby when his sister was conceived. They were having a family meal, all of them filled into the Jones' household I order to fit half of the town inside. It was Killian's birthday, the reason for the celebration and Emma had their two youngest give their daddy his main present. They held out a large box and Killian took it from them, gently kissing their cheeks. "Thank you…" He grinned, untying the ribbon that Emma had clearly done for the kids. He opened the box to find a shirt that the two of them had painted together.
"Oh guys….i love it." He told them enthusiastically, briefly looking at the painted family they'd worked so hard on.
"Put it on daddy!" Liam cried out, taking his cue from his mom, who stood behind Killian, prompting them. Killian sighed and stood, pulling the large white shirt over his head. "Mom, will you take a photo for us?" Emma asked, winking at her mom who already knew what to do.
"Come on babe…family photo." Emma grinned, gesturing for Henry to join them, as the younger two crowded by their feet. They posed for a few photos, and then Emma gave her mom the signal to hit record on the camera. "Killian….look at the shirt properly." Henry prompted. Killian pulled the shirt out from his chest a little and frowned down at it. "It's great guys! I like how shiny you painted my hook. Although…Swan…you look bloody great. Even if you do have a weirdly shaped body." He commented.
"Wait a second…you look…." He suddenly looked up at his wife. "Is this you telling me that you're…?" He asked, tears already brimming in his eyes. Emma laughed and nodded, her own eyes beginning to leak a little. He pulled her into a hug and hid his face in her hair. "Bloody hell babe…..this is the best present I could ever ask for." He whispered to her as the crowd around them cheered.
