Buddies

Killian smiled at Emma. They were sitting in her parents' living room, babysitting four-year-old Neal.

"Em!" Neal squealed. He giggled.

Emma stopped tickling her brother and squeezed him in a hug. "Okay, okay. I'll stop." Emma looked up at Killian and saw him smiling at her - no - at Neal. "You want to hold him?"

Killian looked at her. "Me?"

Emma laughed. "Who else would I be talking to?"

Killian chuckled and scratched behind his ear. "Aye, I guess you're right."

Emma tilted her head to the side, analyzing Killian's face. "You want to hold him?"
Killian smiled. "I would love to, but…" Killian gestured to his hook.

"You'll be fine. Neal knows not to mess with it. Right, bud?" Emma looked at Neal.

Neal giggled. "Yeah! Killy!" Neal stretched his arms out towards Killian.

Killian hesitated before picking Neal up and setting him on his lap. "Hello, lad."

Neal giggled happily. He put his hands on Killian's cheeks. "Killy! Hi!"
Killian chuckled and tickled Neal's belly. Neal fell back on his back, giggling.

Emma smiled. It meant the world to her that her husband got along with her family, and even more so that they loved him back. Killian always got along fine with her parents and Henry, but she was always nervous about Neal and Killian. Neal was only four, and Emma knew that Killian got nervous around kids. He always thought he might accidentally hurt them with his hook, but he never did.

Later that night, Emma decided to turn on Mickey Mouse to try and calm Neal down before they put him to bed. Neal had fallen asleep during the first five minutes of the episode. He was leaning against Killian's chest.

Emma was leaning against Killian's side, her head on his shoulder. Killian had his arm wrapped around her and his head on top of hers.

After a few minutes like that, Killian heard Emma's steady breathing, signaling that she was asleep. Killian smiled and drifted off to sleep as well.

David and Snow walked through the door and immediately stopped their laughing. The TV was on, but no one was watching it. Emma, Killian, and Neal were all asleep on the couch.

Snow smiled. "Look at them."

David nodding, smiling as well. "I know."

"I almost don't want to wake them," Snow said softly.

"Well, if we let them sleep on the couch, they will wake up with a crick in their necks, so I think we should wake them up," David said, chuckling softly.

Snow nodded. "I guess you're right." Snow walked over to them and knelt down in front of Killian. She carefully pulled Neal out of his lap. The only movement Killian showed was holding Emma closer to him.

Snow walked back over to David. "I'm going to put Neal to bed. You can wake them up." Snow turned away and walked upstairs to Neal's room.

David chuckled. He waited until Snow was upstairs before he walked over to the wall and flipped the light switch. The room was suddenly filled with light.

Killian's head immediately snapped up, waking instantly. Emma, however, woke slowly. She groaned and then yawned.

David laughed and walked in front of them. "You did a great job babysitting."

Emma tried to rub the sleepiness out of her eyes. "How was your date?"

"It was good. Now, you two need to go home and go to bed," David said.

Killian nodded, yawning. "Aye, that we do." He smiled at Emma. "Let's go, love."

The next day, Emma, Killian, David, and Snow, with the addition of Neal, were eating lunch at Granny's.

Killian threw his arm Emma and Emma leaned into him. "You tired, love?"

Emma nodded. "You have no idea."

Killian chuckled. "Do you want to go home and sleep?"

Emma shook her head. "Nah. I want to eat, too."

Killian chuckled again. "Of course you do."

"Here you are." Granny set everyone's meals before them and walked away.

Emma sat up and began to eat her food, as did everyone else.

As the meal came to an end, Neal started to squirm in his father's lap.

"What is it, Neal?" David asked.

"I want Killy," Neal whined.

Killian looked up, surprised. Emma smiled.

David looked at Killian. "Do you want to hold him? You don't have to if you don't want to."

Killian hesitated, still worried about hurting Neal. He felt Emma take a hold of his hook. He looked down at her. She was smiling at him. Killina smiled back and looked at Neal. "Aye, I'll hold the lad."

Neal smiled and clapped. "Yay!"

David got up from his seat and walked over to Killian. He sat Neal on Killian's lap and sat down.

Killian pulled his good arm away from Emma and put it around Neal. "Hello, lad."

Neal ignored him. He reached forward and took a fry of of Killian's plate. He stuffed it in his mouth.

The table erupted in laughter.

"Oi!" Killian teased.

Neal giggled. "My fries." He took another.

Killian chuckled.

Emma smiled at her husband and brother. Killian was great with Neal, it made her so happy, but something didn't seem right. Something seemed off - missing; and she knew what it was.

"Emma, love, you home?" Killian asked upon entering his and Emma's home. He slipped his shoes off and walked into the house. He smiled when he saw Emma at the kitchen table. "Hello, love."

Emma smiled at him, but it wavered. "Hi."

Killian frowned. He could hear something off in her voice. "What is it?"

Emma looked down at her hands.

Worry filled him. Killian went and sat next to Emma. He took her hand. "What is it, my love? What's troubling you?"

Emma looked into his eyes, searching. For what? She didn't know. Emma sighed. "Do you… do you feel like something is missing from our lives?"

"Whatever do you mean?" He squeezed her hand, encouraging her to continue.

Emma looked at the stairs. "This house is so big." She looked at her husband. "And there's only two of us."

Killian nodded. "Aye." He was almost positive of what Emma was going to say next.

"And I… I've been watching you with Neal and you're so good with him, just like you were with Henry. So… I was thinking that maybe… maybe I want a second chance."

Killian's face exploded in a smile. He leaned forward and gently kissed his wife. When he pulled away, he nodded. "I want a second chance as well, darling."

Emma smiled. "You do?"

Killian nodded. "With all my heart."

Emma looked back down at her hands. "That's good."

Killian frowned. "Is there something else troubling you?"

Emma shrugged. "Well… there is something, but I'm not really worried about it anymore. Well, I am, but not about telling you."
He raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"

Emma smiled and looked into his eyes. "I'm pregnant," she said, just above a whisper.

Killian's eyes lit up. Then he smiled. Then he wrapped Emma in a hug. "This is amazing news, Emma!"

Emma laughed. "I know."

Killian pulled away. He kissed her. When he pulled away, he set his head on her forehead. "I cannot wait to meet our little one." He set his hand on Emma's stomach.

Emma smiled and placed her hand over his. "Me neither."

Killian chuckled. "Neal will be happy."

Emma laughed. "Yeah, he's going to hate sharing you."

Killian shrugged. "He already does."

"You know, you're a good brother-in-law."

Killian smiled. "Why thank you, love."

"You're going to be an amazing father."

"You will be a wonderful mother."

I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
