Hey, guys! So sorry I didn't post yesterday! I got home from a camping trip yesterday and I was exhausted. I had to unpack and clean - it was just busy. Anyway, this chapter is a request from oncer4life11. Hope it lives up to your expectations!
Thank you for all the reviews, follows, and favorites on this story.
I do not own OUAT or its characters.
Baby
Emma shrugged her jacket on and grabbed her purse. She slipped her shoes on and yelled, "Killian, I'm heading to the store! Be back in a little bit!"
Not a moment later, Killian came down the stairs. He walked up to Emma. "Would you like me to accompany you?"
"Nah, I'm good." She kissed his cheek. "Anyway, you need to start making dinner."
Killian chuckled. "Alright, sounds good. Be safe."
Emma rolled her eyes. "I'm just going to the store."
"Still."
Emma smiled. "Okay, I will. Promise." She gave a quick peck on the lips and then went to the garage. She got in her car and headed to the store.
When she reached the store, she immediately went to the baby section, and it made her heart race.
She hadn't stepped in the baby section of a store since Snow was pregnant with Neal - she would help shop once in a while - but other than that, nope.
She had found out, just a few short hours ago, that she was pregnant. Of course, she was overjoyed, but she was also overwhelmed with nerves. She knew Killian wanted a baby, he had never said so, but she still knew. So that wasn't what caused her to be nervous, in fact, she didn't know why she was so nervous.
She decided to just ignore the nerves and find a way to tell Killian about the baby.
As she walked through the baby aisle, she realized it was going to be a lot harder than she thought. There were so many things she just wanted to buy. There were toys, shoes, clothes, pacifiers - all the essentials needed to care for a newborn right in front of her.
Suddenly, she felt overwhelmed. Gosh, she wished she didn't come here by herself. It was all too much.
She sucked in a heavy breath and started looking around again. She looked through the toys, not finding anything that stood out to her. Then she went through the clothes. There wasn't anything that she really liked until she spotted a light blue onsie. Emma took it off the rack and read it.
Emma smiled. "Perfect."
She put it in the shopping basket she had and went to the register. She didn't want anyone to know she was pregnant before Killian knew, so she went to the self-checkout. When she got to her car, she placed the bag with the onesie in the passenger seat.
As soon as she got home and opened the door, she smelt spaghetti. She smiled and hoped Killian didn't notice her as she tried to walk upstairs.
No such luck. As soon as Emma stepped into view of Killian, he smiled and walked over to her. He kissed her softly. "Dinner is almost ready."
Emma smiled and waved her hand. The onesie and bag transported upstairs into her nightstand. "Sounds great, and it smells wonderful, too."
Killian chuckled. He pulled away from his love. "I hope it tastes as good as it smells. Go sit down, I'll dish us our dinner."
Emma rolled her eyes. "You are such a dork."
Killian smiled and bowed. "Why thank you, milady."
Emma playfully hit Killian's shoulder. "Just go get me my food." She went to the table and sat down.
Killian chuckled and did as he was told.
"So," Killian asked when they had both sat down next to each other with their dinner, "what did you get at the shop?"
Emma froze, her eyes widened. "Um… I got… um… nothing."
He quirked a brow. "Nothing?"
Emma nodded and shifted uncomfortably in her seat. "Yeah, I, uh, remembered we had what I was going to buy."
Killian nodded. "What were you going to get?"
"Um…" Emma glanced around the kitchen to get an idea. "Milk! I mean… milk. Yeah, milk."
Killian slowly nodded. "Um, alright." They continued to eat in an awkward silence.
Emma finished her last bite of her dinner. "I'll be right back."
Killian nodded and grabbed her plate. "I'll start cleaning up."
Emma smiled and kissed his cheek. She turned and walked upstairs. She rushed to her nightstand as soon as she entered her room. She pulled open the drawer and grabbed the bag from it. Pulling the onesie out of the bag, Emma smiled at it. Her stomach suddenly filled with butterflies. She couldn't stop a smile from forming on her lips.
She walked to the closet and pulled out a gift bag. It was a Christmas gift bag, so at least Killian wouldn't suspect anything. Emma folded the onesie and carefully put it in the bag, stuffing in red and green tissue paper after it.
She smiled and walked downstairs.
Killian had his back to her. He was cleaning the dishes at the sink, kitchen towel thrown over his shoulder.
Emma went and stood next to him, hiding the bag behind her. "Hey."
Kilian smiled at her and then went back to the dishes. "Hello, love. What did you need to go upstairs for?"
Emma pulled the bag from its hiding place and held it up. "This."
Killian chuckled. "Love, Christmas isn't for another six months."
Emma shook her head. "I know, but this is for you. Right now."
Killian raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
Emma laughed. "Just open it." She couldn't stop smiling.
"Alright." Killina pulled the towel off his shoulder and dried his hands off and then set the towel on the counter.
Emma handed the gift to Killian.
Killian smiled at her and pulled the tissue paper out, putting it on the counter. When he reached the bottom of the bag, he grabbed what was inside. He was surprised to see a onesie.
"What-"
"Just read it."
He unfolded the onesie and read it to himself. My Daddy is a swashbuckling pirate, just like me. Killian looked up at Emma. His eyes were wide in shock and his mouth hung partly open. "Are you… you're…" He couldn't seem to form the words.
Emma nodded. "Yeah."
"You're pregnant?" he whispered.
Emma nodded again, her smile growing. "Yes."
A smile swept across Killian's face. He gently set the onesie and bag down and then pulled Emma into a hug. He held her gently, like she was glass.
Emma smiled and closed her eyes. "You're happy?"
Killian pulled away. He kissed her. When he pulled away, he looked her straight in the eyes. "I am so happy. How could I not be? I'm going to be a father!"
Emma laughed and put her hand Killian's cheek, swiping her thumb across it. "I'm so glad."
Killian smiled. He leaned his forehead against Emma's. After a moment, Killian pulled away and looked at Emma's stomach. He slowly pulled his hand away from Emma's back. He shakily rested his hand on Emma's stomach. A smile swept itself back across Killian's face. "I just… I can't…" He shook his head.
Emma just laughed again. "I know. Me neither."
"How do you feel?" Killian asked, looking at her. "Are you okay?"
Emma knew where this was going. "Killian, I'm fine, and I will continue to be fine."
Killian nodded. "I'm glad you feel okay, but to make sure you stay that way, you should take some time off the at the station. You'll need rest."
Emma laughed. She leaned forward and hugged her husband, head going to his shoulder. "I'll be fine."
Killian smiled and rubbed Emma's back. "You seem tired right now."
Emma nodded slightly. "I am."
Killian leaned down and swept Emma's feet off the floor, hand supporting her back.
Emma yelped. She held on tighter to Killian's neck. "What are you doing?"
Killian chuckled. "You said you were tired." He kissed her nose. "It's time for bed." Killian started walking upstairs.
"I'm not five."
"I know."
When they reached their room, Killian set Emma on her feet. "Now, go to bed. I'm going to finish cleaning the kitchen."
Emma rolled her eyes. "Okay, fine."
Killian smiled, kissed her lightly, and walked out of the room.
By the time Emma was changed and half a sleep in bed, Killian came in and went to bed. He put his arms around Emma and pulled her back against him, hand resting on her stomach.
"Goodnight, my love," he whispered.
Emma smiled. "Goodnight."
Hope you enjoyed that chapter!
