Chapter 2: Baby girl or Baby boy?
Emma didn't know who this guy was, why he was at their apartment and what he was wearing. She felt the baby flutter inside of her and she gasped. "Neal!" She said causing her husband (they were going onto 6 months together as a married couple) to turn and look at her. "The baby kicked!"
As much as Emma would rather not show anything of who she was to this stranger, but Neal was the father of her baby and Emma couldn't help but tell him when their baby first kicked.
Neal grinned as he reached over to feel the kick, and Emma noticed the stranger itched to feel as well, which confused her. He looked like a pirate. "Wow, we got a strong one," He said grinning.
Emma then turned to the stranger and Neal sensed she was going into 'Emma mode' and he followed suit, though into 'husband/protective daddy mode'. "Why are you here?" Emma asked.
"Your parents need you," He said breathlessly. "I know you don't think you know me but you do!"
Emma looked at him like he was crazy. "Yeah right, I think I would remember someone as crazy as you. And I don't really have any parents."
The pirate frowned. "Emma—"
"How do you know my wife's name?" Neal demanded.
"If you let me finish," he said narrowing his eyes at Neal. "I have been trying to explain that your memories were erased but right now, your parents need you! Hell, your family needs you!"
Neal frowned. "You're a nut case."
The pirate rolled his eyes, "Really?" He shook his head and looked at Emma. "Emma, use your super power if you don't believe me."
"It doesn't have to be true for you to believe in something." Emma said calmly, looking at this man like he was crazy; which he proved when he tried to kill Emma— causing her to slap him and Neal kind of to tackle him against the wall of the hallway.
"Don't EVER kiss my wife again!" Neal snapped before he turned though decided to kick the guy in the balls, causing him to fall to the ground, and then Neal went inside and closed the door. He rushed to Emma's side. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine Neal; I can fight my own battles you know." Emma said before kissing his cheek. "Thank you though…."
"Anything for you, Mrs. Cassidy," Neal smiled and Emma returned it, before they shared a kiss.

After they dropped Henry off to school, which took a lot of convincing on Neal's part since Henry didn't want to miss out on the doctor's appointment, before Neal and Emma could go to the doctor's appointment. Neal and Emma held hands as they headed towards the doctor's office.
"Do you think the baby will be in position to see the gender?" Neal asked with a fond smile. They had yet to find out if it was a girl or boy.
Emma shrugged. "Maybe, who knows?"
The happy couple kept walking unknowingly being followed by a certain someone.
Once in the office, Emma lay down and got ready to see her baby. The doctor appeared. "Oh Mrs. Cassidy! How nice to see you again, oh and Mr. Cassidy, I'm glad to see you could make it this time." The doctor said smiling.
Neal nodded. "Work really has gotten me swamped."
The doctor understood. "Well, Emma here didn't even bother checking to see if we could find the gender. She didn't want to know without you here."
Emma and Neal share a kiss, Neal smiling proudly.
The doctor began her work and started showing them their baby. It was still kind of small, but was growing. Emma smiled as she stared at the screen. Her baby…
Then, the doctor made a happy noise, "Looks like the baby is in position today! Would you like to know if it's a girl or a boy?"
Emma and Neal look at each other before nodding. "Yes please," Neal said.
"Well congratulations, you two! You have a baby girl!"

Shortly after, the appointment finished up. Emma and Neal headed to Neal's work to drop him off. They kissed goodbye. "I love you Emma and our little girl…" Neal said smiling.
Emma nodded. "We love you too Neal or I should say big daddy."
He chuckled before he left.
Emma decided to go for a walk and ended up finding the pirate from that morning. He turned to her. "Emma—"
"Who are you?" Emma demanded.
He sighed. "I explained it to you. I'm a person from your past—"
"I would remember you." Emma reminded him.
His eye twitched. "Your memories were erased! Please, just let me explain!"
Emma crossed her arms. She didn't look impressed. "And why should I do that?"
"And I explained it to you. Your family needs you, they're in danger. Take this and it'll show you everything!"
He handed her a vile.
Emma rolled her eyes. "Dude, I'm not taking your drugs. I'm pregnant."
The man sighed. "Okay look, I'm sorry for this morning but I thought you would remember me if I did it."
"I'm married, so why don't you leave me alone?" Emma demanded.
"Because I can't, something is going wrong and your family is in trouble. The Emma I know wouldn't let her family suffer." The pirate said trying to get her to understand.
She frowned. "My family is right here you know." She turned and walked away. And then police rushed forward. "There he is! The man who assaulted me!"
"I only kissed you!" The man said sounding confused.
Emma smirked then. "Ah. So he admits to it!" It seemed luck was on Emma's side….or so she thought.
Okay hey! Chapter 2, finished. :) If you want to leave baby names, do so please! How is Emma going to want to remember if Neal was always there for her? And Hook, how is he going to get Emma back to Storybrooke to save the town once more? REVIEW PLEASE!
