Carly: More interaction is going to come, in fact I plan a whole chapter just Emma and Snow and David and Killian will also have a lot of fun soon :)
11 weeks pregnant
After everything went so smooth with her parents, Emma really appreciates that Regina set up a contract fast and so the Outlaw and the pirate were the new source of justice in Storybrooke.
It was really funny how the inhabitants reacted to this change.
Although Killian has increased his positive review amongst Storybrookes people he still had the stamp of an villain on his back.
Especially the dwarfs, beforehand by Leroy, were not really amused about it.
They knew that the pirate had changed, they knew that he really was of use at the defeat of Zelena and the return of Emma, yes, they even knew that he was the town's savior True Love, but still they tried to do everything to test the pirate's patience.
Emma has still to cope with the nausea so it was more often than not, that Killian and Robin were out on the streets alone and she would stay at the station or at bed. Damn, that sickness was really getting on her nerves.
Damn little boy, can't you give your mom a little break? It's funny that she already communicates with the bean inside of her but as soon as she playfully rants at the unborn, she suddenly feels better.
Was it possible that the baby has heard her?
She still is sunk into her thought as the door to the station bounces open and one really angry looking Killian strides in, followed by Robin and an upset looking Leroy.
"I already told you, I will not follow the orders of this shit of pirate here" Ok, Leroy seems to be drunk and she sees the fury in Killian's eyes.
"No need to make your name honour, Grumpy" she emphasizes his Enchanted Forest name.
"What did he do this time?"
"He was drunkenly rampaging in front of Gold's shop" Robin states
Oh this must have been a funny scene to watch, Killian trying to sooth a drunken dwarf in front of his enemy's shop.
"Yeah and he won't stop although we asked him to, quite politely I must add" Killian adds.
"Youuuu" Leroy is now a little bit wavering and points his index finger on Killian. "Are not" hicks "in the position to judge me! Since then are you and Gold best buddies?"
She senses that Killian is about to burst with anger and so she touches his shoulder and places herself in front of the drunken dwarf.
"Leroy, he's doing his job and I'm really lucky that he helps me. By the way Robin this counts for you as well! And I really would appreciate if you would start accepting this fact. I think you need to sober up, feel free to do this in one of our cells. And for the future, let Killian be. I don't want to hear any accusations anymore and please respect him and me, because we're partners at work and in life" She has taken Killian's hand during the speech.
Leroy just gives a slight nod and wanders to one of the cells, still unsteady on his way.
"Thanks, Swan" Killian gives her a soft kiss "No problem, you are my partner in crime and nobody speaks to you in this way without punishment." She kisses him once more time with a little more force on which he responds eagerly until Robin clears his throat.
"yeah, mate, we stop, no worries" Soon David arrives and Emma and Killian walk into the direction of Granny's, holding hands of course.
"So, how is it going? Are more people bothering you? I mean other when Leroy and the other dwarfs."
"No, it is fine and I think I can win the drunken bastards over as well. Hey, in fact I even won over your mother" She has to giggle at that statement and nudges him playfully in his side.
"And how was your day, Swan?"
"I think I finally overcome the nausea" She smiles at him because for the first time in weeks she has not the feeling of needing to throw up.
"Really, did the little one and you make a truce?" She stops and throws herself in his arms, starting to kiss him furiously.
He responds eagerly but breaks it up as it becomes nearly a hot make-out-session on the sideway.
"Easy lass, no need to attack me like this" he winks at her.
"I love you Killian" She is still in his arms, pressed against his body and feeling his hard length against her stomach.
"I love you too, but I think we don't need to give everyone a show out here, but please stay a minute longer in my arms, I need to calm down" a soft kiss is planted on her forehead and for the first time in days she really breaths in his scent. Oh how she loves his scent, of sea, of adventure and of love.
As soon as he is presentable again they continue their way to Granny's. It's crowded there but they can get a booth for themselves.
Ruby approaches and starts to wrinkle up her nose.
"Whoho you two, I would eat fast, your pheromones are all over the diner- duh!" she makes a face.
"And Emma, perhaps you should see Victor, I think something is still wrong, your smell has really changed." Emma and Killian share a smile at this statement.
They order 2 burgers with French fries, a coke for Killian and a sprite for her.
She eats in such a fast pace that she is long finished before him.
"What" he asks as she eyes his plate. "Still hungry?"
She nods and he only smirks, pushing his plate in front of her. He's always such a gentleman, sometimes she can't think it's possible, that she is actually dating Captain Hook, who is supposed to be a villain but in fact is a real softy. With a giggle she starts to eat his fries as well.
"You've nearly starved the last week, I'm just happy that you've gain your appetite again"
The rest of the evening is smooth, Henry stayed at Regina and they just enjoy their time together and of course the fact, that Emma seems to feel better and so they uses the chance and make love, more than once.
The next morning is a bitch because the first thing Emma does is paying the toilet a visit, throwing up at least three times, so much for feeling better. This screams at a day in bed with tea and toast.
When Killian awakes he finds her lying on the bathroomfloor like the day she detected her pregnancy.
"Again, love?" She only nods and feels herself being picked up by him, carried to their bed.
"Rest, Emma. Perhaps we shouldn't have gone the third round yesterday" she just smacks at his arm.
"Don't you dare regretting it! I loved it and the little one gave me a break yesterday and it was great. One day in bed should help my stomach settle a bit"
He bends down to give her a kiss.
"Alright Swan, I'll be heading to the station and have a look if anything urgent is to do. Otherwise David or Robin can cover for us." He gives her another kiss "And as soon as I'm back, we're making a bed day till the lad comes and then Henry and I will cook some pasta and we're going to look some stupid movie of yours on the magic box."
"TV, Killian, TV!" Whatever you say, love" and with that he closes the door.
She drifts back to sleep, dreaming absolutely non-sense when she is awakened by a bark.
Wait, what, a dog? According the barking a little one. She goes to the window to look outside for any animal causing the noises but sees nothing so she wanted to check the doorway but as soon as she opens the door she sees a panting Killian chasing after a little black- is that a puppy?
"Sorry love, this little girl here is a bit wild. I tried to capture her but she's too fast."
The puppy is now bouncing up and down with its tail, tongue lolling out of its muzzle.
"Where the does it come from?"
"Leroy brought her to the station. Apparently someone tried to drown the whole dog litter at the docks, Leroy found them but only the little one survived. Her siblings, well.." He can't finish the sentence because Emma is already on her knees in front of the puppy
"Oh you poor dear" Now she is stroking the thick fur of the dog. As reaction she gets a dog-kiss.
"Oh you're so sweet! Do you want to stay, you want to stay right honey" her voice is a little bit high pitched and the dog furiously bounces its tail.
"Did you see it, Killian? She agrees!"
"Mom, Killian, I'm home" They hear Henry shout from down the stairs.
At Henry's entry he black ball of fur is already on its way down the stairs straight to the direction of the voice of her son.
"Mom, where did this puppy come from?"a confused Henry asks.
"Well lad, Leroy rescued her today from drowning. She's a girl and Dave thought that it would be better to take her with me at first before putting her at the shelter"
Right her fathers alternative persona worked at the shelter, how could she forget and did she ever mentioned that she finds it adorable that Killian calls her father "Dave"? But her thoughts were interrupted by a beaming Henry.
"Oh, she's so cute, can we keep her?"
Emma looks at Killian as if she is asking his permission. He throws his arms up in surrender.
"You know, I was the one who brought her here.."
"So she can stay" Henry's look drifts between his mom and Killian.
"Yes" the adults speak in unison.
The little puppy is still chasing around the living-room and a bark is heard from time to time.
"We should give her a name" Henry suggests. "What about Blacky" Emma throws in the round only to earn some real annoyed looks from her men.
"Swan this is a little uninspired don't you think? Just naming the lass after her appearance" he waves with his hook.
"No, mom, it must be something that matches our family of fairytale characters!"
You can see how he is thinking and then his face brightens.
"I know it! We name her Lady! Like Lady and the Tramp! She isn't a cocker-spaniel but she is just as beautiful!"
This earns him a loud bark and they know it's decided.
"So, Lady it is!" Killian states.
And then he bends down to Emma
"By the way, I think we now get even more visits from your parents, Swan" He smirks at her raised eybrow. "As it seems Dave really is smitten with the puppy. He even volunteers to take her in, but apparently your mother is more of a cats-person so he begged me to take her and ask you for permission to keep"
She starts to laugh, but as soon as he finished his statement the doorbell rings.
"Emma, Killian" She hears her fathers voice, as he impatiently waits for the door to open.
He directly bursts in which only makes her to laugh even harder.
"Ahm, I only came by to see if any of my experiences are needed in concern of the puppy.." Lady" Henry interrupts "Oh, that's a fitting name for such a beautiful girl, don't you think" David is already on his knees geting kissed all over the face by the black tornado, lost in cuddling the dog.
"Hello to you too, dad. And here I thought I'm the only girl in your life" Emma mocks her dad but as she tries to close the door she sees that her mother is appearing as well, carrying Neal in a wrap.
"Is he here? I'll never understand the passion this man has for dogs" She shakes her head. " He couldn't even wait for me to finish wrapping neal in the baby-sling"
She hugs Emma softly and as she takes in Emma's pale skin she asks worried:
"Are you feeling better, honey? I always drank pepermint tea when I was feeling sick in the first trimester. Shall I make you one?"
She is already walking into the kitchens direction.
"Yes that would be nice, mom. And we could have a little long overdue girlchat, because I think the boys will be busy for some time."
Both look out of the kitchen window starting to laugh at the sight before them.
Henry, Killian and David currently chasing a black puppy trough the garden all exclaiming that he will be the master of Lady, while the puppy just seems to enjoy the game.
Absentmindly her hand wanders to her belly and she is soo happy in that moment, because she has all she ever wants- a family.
