"Killy!" Neal squealed when Killian opened up his front door. Neal ran into Killian and hugged him.

Killian chuckled and patted his brother-in-law's back. "Hello, lad."

David and Snow laughed as they stepped inside and shut the door behind them.

"Hey, guys," Emma said as she came over to greet her family. She gave her parents a hug and then bent down next to Neal who was still hugging Killian. Emma put her arms out for a hug. "Hey, bud."

Neal glanced at her. "Hi."

Emma laughed. "Can I have a hug?"

Neal shook his head. "Only Killy gets hugs."

Emma put her arms down and stood up. She glared playfully at Killian. "You stole my brother."

Killian smirked. "I can't help it if your brother loves me."

Emma laughed. "Whatever. Help me set the table."

"Alright, love," he said with a chuckled. He looked down at Neal. "I have to go help your sister, okay, lad?"

Neal shook his head. "Killy no help."

"Come on, Neal," Snow said. "Let Killian go help Emma."

Neal sighed and stepped away from Killian. "Fast, Killy."

Killian chuckled. "I will be." He turned towards Emma and the two headed to the kitchen to finish setting up for dinner.

"Neal has really taken a shine to you," Emma said as she placed the plates on the table.

Killian set cups on the table. "Aye, that he has."

"He's going to really hate sharing you." Emma laughed.

Killian set his last cup down and walked over to Emma. "Well, he'll get used to it."

"Mmm, I don't know. He might insist that you take him on the Jolly and just sail away." Emma couldn't help but laugh again.

Killian smiled. "I might just have to do that."

Emma playfully swatted his arm. "Shut up."
Killian put his hands up. The two went on to finish setting up the table, and within a few minutes, everyone sat at the table. Neal had begged to sit by Killian, but Snow wouldn't let him because she was worried that he wouldn't eat his food.

"So," David said, cutting up Neal's chicken, "what did you need to talk to us about?"

Emma and Killian exchanged looks.

"Can't a daughter just have her parents over for dinner?" Emma asked, trying to sound casual.

David rose his eyebrows. "I know you don't cook like this every night. If you guys have a meal that isn't from a box, Hook cooks it. So why use my mother's recipe for chicken, which so happens to be my favorite dish?"

Killian leaned towards Emma and whispered, "I think your father should be sheriff."
Emma laughed quietly. "If he can figure something out that quickly and give an explanation like that, he should be a crime scene investigator in Boston."

David cleared his throat.

"Fine, you caught us," Emma said. "We did want to talk to you about something."

"Are you okay?" Snow asked worriedly. "Has something bad happened?"

"Something has happened," Emma explained, "but it isn't necessarily bad."

"What is it?" Snow asked.

Emma looked at Killian, who gave her a reassuring smile and nod. Emma sucked in a breath and looked at her parents. "We're pregnant," she said softly. Emma couldn't keep the smile off her face.

David and Snow sat there for a second, shock clearly written on their faces.

Emma's smile wavered. She searched for Killian hand and when she found it, she squeezed it tight.

Finally, a smile broke across Snow's face. She jumped out of her chair. "Oh my goodness! This is amazing!" She quickly rushed around the table, Emma and Killian standing up. Snow pulled Emma into the tightest hug she had ever experienced. Then, she pulled Killian into a strong embrace that was sure to leave him sore. "I am so happy for you two!"

Emma smiled. Killian wrapped his arm around her waist. "We are, too, Mom." Emma glanced past her mother and looked at David. He was staring at his plate. "Dad? Are you… are you going to say something?"

David looked up. His eyes were lit up and a smile was etched into his face. "I… I don't know what I can say."

"Say that you're happy," Emma said.

David stood up. He walked over to Emma and pulled her into a hug. "I am happy. I just…" He pulled away. "I don't know what to think."

Killian suddenly got worried. Was David angry that his grandchild was going to be Killian's child? He found Emma's hand and squeezed it.

"Think happily," Snow tried. "We're going to be grandparents… again."

"Are you sure that's something to be happy about?" David teased. "That means we're getting old."

Snow shrugged. "Because of the first curse, we're technically already fifty years old."

"That doesn't count," David said. "But Captain Hook here-" David pointed at Killian "-is three hundred years old and is finally becoming a father."

"Hey," Killian defended, "curses and Neverland don't count."

They all laughed at that.

Snow felt a tug on her hand. She looked down and smiled at Neal. "Hey, Neal. What do you think about being an uncle again?"

Neal looked confused. "What's an uncle?"

David ruffled Neal's hair. "It's what you're going to be when Emma has her baby."

Neal's eyes blew wide. "Emmy's having baby?" He ran over to Emma and looked up at her. "You having baby?"

Emma laughed. "Yeah, I am."

Neal clapped his hands. "Yay!"

"You're happy?" Emma asked, smiling.

Neal nodded. "Yeah! Now Killy and I can go on Jolly while you take care of baby. Me and Killy be by ourselves. No more Emmy to take Killy! Only Killy!" He looked at Killian. "Right, Killy?"

Emma's mouth hung opened in shock, while Killian laughed nervously. Snow and David both stifled their laughter.

Killian looked at David in Snow for help, but David just shook his head and said, "Answer carefully. I wanna see how this plays out."

Killian nervously laughed again. He scratched behind his ear. "Um… well, Neal, the baby Emma's having is also my baby."

Neal cocked his head to the side. "What do you mean?"

"I mean…" He looked at Emma for help, but she smiled and shook her head. He looked back at Neal. "I have to help Emma with the baby, too. It will need a lot of attention when it arrives."

Neal shrugged. "Baby can come on Jolly with us if it wants to."

Killian sighed.

Finally deciding to help her husband, Emma bent down next to Neal and took his hands. "What he's trying to say is that you two might not be able to spend a lot of time together when the baby is born."

Neal's eyes got teary. "Why? Baby taking Killy 'way?"

"No, no, lad." Killian bent down next to Emma and placed his hand on Neal's back. "The baby isn't taking me away. I just… I will need to help the baby grow."

Neal wiped his eyes. "Okay."

Killian smiled. "Come here." Neal walked into Killian's arms and they embraced one another.

Emma smiled. The next nine months were going to be a bit tricky, that was for sure.

Nine months later

Emma laid in the hospital bed in the delivery room, her baby girl in her arms, Killian's arm around her shoulders as they stared lovingly at their daughter.

"She's a marvel," Killian whispered softly, not wanting to wake up his newborn.

Emma nodded slightly. "Yeah, she is." Emma's head fell to rest on Killian's shoulder as they continued to watch their daughter sleep quietly.

Suddenly, the door burst open and someone yelled, "Killy!"

Emma and Killian looked at the door and saw Neal running in. He ran over to Killian and hugged him.

"Neal!" they heard Snow shout. Her and David came rushing into the room. "I am so sorry! He got really excited when I told him we were coming to see you. As soon as we got in the hospital and pointed out your room, he ran."

Killian chuckled softly. "It's quite alright." He looked down at his brother-in-law. "Just be quiet so you don't wake the baby."

Neal nodded. "Can you hold me?"

That's when David went over and picked up Neal himself. "He can't hold you right now, Neal. He's going to want to hold his daughter. So we are going to go to the cafeteria for a few minutes."

Neal groaned. "But, Daddy…"

David smiled at Emma. "Do you want anything, Emma? Hook?"

"Yes," Emma said. "I'm starving."

David chuckled and collected the orders from his family and headed out with Neal in his arms and Snow at his side.

Killian reclaimed his position from earlier, arm going around Emma's shoulder and eyes gazing at his daughter.

Emma sighed in contentment. She closed her eyes for a moment.

"Do you want me to take her?" Killian asked. "You should rest. You've been up since 2:30 this morning."

"So have you," Emma stated.

"But I didn't give birth to a human being," Killian said matter-of-factly.

Emma laughed a little. "Point taken. Go ahead and take her. I am tired."

Killian pulled away from Emma and carefully took his daughter into his arms. He carefully adjusted her in his arms and sat down on the chair next to the hospital bed. He smiled as his daughter turned into his chest, searching for more warmth.

Emma smiled.

After a few minutes, the door open again and the Charmings came inside. Snow went up behind Killian and looked at her first granddaughter, while David put the food on the small coffee table.

Neal went up to Killian and whispered, "Is baby sleeping?"

Killian nodded. "Aye."

Neal nodded "Can we play, then?"

Killian shook his head. "Not now, lad. Soon, though."

Emma's smile never faded. She fell asleep to the image of her husband holding their daughter and her brother holding his niece's hand.

I hope you enjoyed that chapter!
