8 weeks pregnant
She was nervous, as nervous as she never has been in her life. Would everything be ok? Normally they should see the heartbeat of the baby by now, according to her calculations she should be now in her 8th week, but what if there isn't any, could she cope with such a disapointment?
Her knee is shaking and Killian pulls his hand on it to soothe her, softly drawing circles with his thump. He seems relaxed but Emma knew that he must be nervous too, because he scraps the point behind his ear from time to time.
She just wants the confirmation that everything is ok. She still feels so relieved about her pirate's reaction. He was happy, as happy as she's never seen him before and this makes her happy too.
But she is aware that he is also worried about her because the nausea is still on and not only in the mornings, no, she is graced with feeling ill the whole fucking day. And the worst, she doesn't need to throw up anymore, it's just the steady feeling of needing to throw up, and that's the the reason she absolutely has no appetite.
She already lost 4 pounds, and that's why Killian is worried because he thinks her not eating anything is bad for the baby and of course for her.
Her thoughts were interrupted as Dr. Whale appears in the room and asks them to follow him.
Soon they arrived at his office and Whale motions them to take a seat at his desk.
"So, Emma, you asked for this appointment because you think you're pregnant?"
"Yes, I've taken 3 tests at home and all had the same result- positive."
She takes Killian's hand in hers to feel some reassurance from him.
"ok, when was your last period?"
"Nearly 8 weeks ago. Apparently I lost count during all the events which took place at latest" She smiles shyly.
"No worries, we will take a look and afterwards we need to make some tests and take blood samples from you"
She feels Killian stiffens beside her but Whale just gave him a reassuring smile.
"No worries Hook, just the normal procedure"
"So Emma, as we can't ultrasound over your belly in this early stage of pregnancy, could you please be so kind and take off you trousers and underwear so that I can check the pregnancy vaginal?"
Killian jumps from his seat "No other than me touches Emma down below."
Emma is startled by his explosion but finds it kind of cute that he is so jealous and possessive.
"Easy, pirate. This is my daily work and Emma is just a normal patient. If you want me to look at your little one, we have to do it this way."
"No problem Whale" Emma tries to mediate. "I know the procedure from my semi-annual visits."
She went into the direction of the changing room.
"You have to do this twice a year?" Killian seems to be really upset so she just smiles at him.
"Yes you have to share me with Whale two times in one year" and with a wink she disappears into the cabin.
Thank god she put on a long shirt this morning so she doesn't feel too naked when she reappears and goes to the gynaecological examination chair.
When she has taken place Whale motions Killian to take a seat besides Emma.
He reaches for the controller to dim the light but it seems that the battery run out of energy.
"Damn it" He curses.
"No problem" With a smile she flicks her wrist and the light dims, she simply loves using her magic.
"Ok, Emma, I will now intrude with the ultrasound wand into your vagina and we should see the little one on this monitor" he motions to his left side.
"Don't be frightened but it could be a little cold at first" He softly pushes the medical tool into her and at first all that is seen on the monitor is like a snowstorm in Maine. He moves the instrument a little and there is a black blinking point on the screen.
"Ah, there it is. Emma, Hook, I would like you to introduce to one of the world biggest wonders, a little human in his mother's belly. See" He shows to the blinking point on the screen "This is the heart and I can assure you, that it is a strong one! Congratulations to both of you" He turns on a button and a sound fills the room.
Thump-Thump, thump-thump.
Emma can't help that tears escaping her eyes and as she looks at her partner in crime, she realizes the awestruck expression on his face.
"This is a miracle!" he exclaims, turning to Emma "This is ours Swan! We created a new life" He gives her an affectionate kiss.
"Everything is fine and the length is absolutely according the time-line, Emma. It seems you were right. 8 weeks a long to be exactly you're 7+5 so you nearly reaching the 9th week. Do you want to have a picture?"
Both say yes at the same time and start to laugh.
"Fine" he removes the tool "There you go" and holds a little black and white picture in front of them.
Killian takes it and she sees how shaken he is.
"Good Emma, you can dress again and I will let the nurse know that she should run the other tests with you."
Emma dresses herself again. Still overwhelmed by the things that have just happened moments before.
She is going to be a mother- again. But this time, she won't be alone. She has a family of her own, a partner at her side and a great son who will love to be a big brother.
And then she remembers the dream she had back in the Enchanted Forest of their day at the beach and she is sure, that it was no dream. No, this was her future and a rush of happiness evades her body.
She won't tell Killian about the dream for now, but she will tell him that they need to focus on boy's names because there will be no need to search for girl ones.
As she comes back to the room, she sees Killian standing together with Whale discussing something.
"Emma, the pirate is concerned about your health. It's really necessary that you live healthy but there is no need to be concerned about the nausea. In fact it is good sign for a stable pregnancy because it is side effect of the hormones which are produced in your body to build up the pregnancy. But I have to give you the information that until the 13th week 25% percent of the pregnancies end into a miscarriage, but no need to worry, as I said before. The heartbeat is really strong and the nausea is a good sign as well. But please, if anything seems to be not normal, or in case of any bleedings you have to come in as soon as possible"
She nods, she has got this speech at Henry's pregnancy as well and the only difference was that she was at jail at that time.
Killian doesn't say a word as they go out of the room to the nurse's station.
Some tests were run and she has to give a sample of blood. Killian has to wait outside this time and when she comes back, she sees that he has taken all the brochures which are available in the waiting room.
"Ok pirate, let's go home. I think Henry is already waiting for us. I would suggest we grab some pizza to go at Granny's and then show him after dinner the picture."
"That's sounds like a plan love. Do you think the lad is upset about this?"
"No, Henry is not the jealous kind of kid. I think he will like the idea of becoming a big brother. So common Pirate" she grabs his hand "I think you should be more worried about my parents".
He stills one moment "Bloody hell, Swan. Dave will kill me"
"Honestly, my bet is on my mother" and accompanied by a loud laughter they leave the hospital.
Later that evening at their house they are eating pizza, while sitting out in the garden due to a mild weather.
"Henry" she starts "We've got something to announce to you"
"Oh great, you finally found out?" She is surprised "Found out what?"
"That you're pregnant" Both Killian and Emma are startled, mouths hanging open.
"What do you mean finally?" Both exclaimed.
"Ah so you found out" Henry just grins "Congrats Mom, Killian, do you already know the gender?"
Emma just stares at him in disbelief.
"You knew?" Henry smirks and nods.
"Yes, it was in the book you know." "And this was something you didn't want us to tell?" Ok this had a little angrier tone than she intended.
"Yeah, I wanted it to be detected by you and honestly I loved the time we spent together just the 3 of us. Now that you know that you're pregnant everything will change and I just wanted to enjoy it a Little bit longer but I am more than happy to become a big brother!"
He stands up and hugs her at first and then a really speechless Killian who is surprised by this motion.
"So, do you know the gender yet? Am I going to get a sister or a brother?"
"No, not yet but I have a feeling that it will be a boy." She smiles at the thought of the little boy in her arms at the beach.
"Oy Swan, not so fast, could be a little pirate princess as well"
"Don't get your hopes up pirate" she nudges his shoulders "I'm fairly certain it's going to be a boy, so start thinking of names" She kisses him on the mouth.
"This is simply awesome" Henry says "I take either one"
And all three starts to laugh and Emma thinks that this is one of the best days of her life.
