24 weeks pregnant
Word of the proposal spread through the town like wildfire. Emma was overrun by good wishes and engagement gifs, even Killian received some laudatory claps on his shoulder for his so romantic proposal.
But what was going on her nerves was the omnipresent question when the fairy-tale wedding would take place, before the little pirate prince would be born or afterwards and there was one thing that Emma was sure of. She will never ever have a fairy-tale wedding with all the pomp which apparently was usual back in the Enchanted Forest. Since the proposal two weeks ago she and Killian have talked a lot about the how and when.
As they are kindred spirits both don't want a big wedding and to be honest, since being pregnant Emma was some kind of thinking traditional. It was silly, really, because she is a hell of a woman, and that was not meant in a narcissistic way, she doesn't need a husband to support herself and her children but since her realization of the depth of her feelings towards Killian, the thought of being married to him and actual be a common family was omnipresent.
So she only waited for his proposal to get the ball rolling.
She doesn't want to wait until their son is born to marry the man of her dreams. She wants it as soon as possible and Killian was the same opinion since he was the one who has waited so long to finally be with her.
Since Neal was reaching his 6 months and was a good night-sleeper, her mother bursts with energy and she and Emma had started to plan the wedding since it should take place in 4 weeks.
"Hey, mom, we DON'T want a big wedding. Even Gold and Belle managed to get married without the town noticing."
"Emma, he is the Dark One, do you really think someone would really like to go to his wedding reception if not threatened?"
Emma rolls her eyes. "I don't want to have a big party. I will be 28 weeks a long on our wedding date and I'm sure as hell don't want to Party with the whole town. And Killian is with me on this. Mom, he is a former villain and the town still don't accept him as one of us. It would be hard for him, because he knows that everyone is just there for me or because of you. He doesn't have any family left, how do you think he would feel? Let's just tell the town that we'll get married after Liam is born and make the real wedding a familiar one"
Snow seems not to be satisfied.
"Mom, I know that you always dreamt of this day, but I can assure you that I'm not the average fairy-tale princess and I will get married to a pirate who was a villain in your realm, can we just make it our way? Please?"
Realization sinks into her mother and she starts to plan a more private wedding.
"So it's just us and the witnesses to the marriage then?"
Emma stands up and hugs her mother "Yes, that's the plan. But I still have to talk to Killian about his best man and I'm not sure who will be my bridesmaid but I think we can arrange this"
She smiles at Snow and changes the topic.
"Now, it crosses my mind that your wedding anniversary is tomorrow. Do you already have plans?"
"Don't know, I think I will just cook something and then we stay at home." Snow shrugs her shoulders.
"But mom, you guys will have the first anniversary without any threats of curses or villains. Don't you want to do something special?"
"Sure, but doing something special with a baby is an impossible mission" Snow shrugs her shoulders.
"But Killian and I could babysit, mom. In a few months we will be parents as well and we could practise with Neal"
Snow looks at her daughter in disbelief and then starts to laugh.
"Oh Emma, that would be so nice from you, but are you sure?"
"Yes of course, why not. Go out, have a nice dinner with dad and perhaps some one on one time" She winks.
Snow is now hugging Emma "I'm so glad to have you as my daughter! And I'm also glad that we found our way back to be good friends as well."
They agree that Neal will stay the night at his sister's house and that her parents and she and Killian will meet for breakfast at Granny's the day after.
"Emma, I'm home" Killian shouts when he enters the house, his fiancé nowhere in sight.
"I'm in the tub" Her voice is heard from the bathroom in the first floor.
"You can join me if you want to" He hears her splashing with water and is beside her in mere moments.
"How are you doing, my fair lady" He smirks at her while he takes off his shirt.
"Great, I could convince mom that we only want a private wedding"
He has finally got rid of his pants and joints her in the tub.
He sits behind her and begins to kiss her neck while his hand wanders from her belly to her breast, starting to massage it.
"That's good news, love." He murmurs and continues to kiss her.
"And we agreed that we will babysit Neal tomorrow night, so that they have some time for themselves on their wedding anniversary."
He stops and she turns around.
"Oh don't look so scared. He's just a baby and if you remember, we soon have one of our own." She smiles and slowly rubs her body against his prominent erection.
"But… we never.." she is now stroking his member with her hand.
He moans loud and starts to kiss her feverishly. She only smiles and continues her ministration and he just bucks his hips into her hand. No need to say, that the bathroom could be described as a pool after their activities.
The next evening arrives and Killian is nervously striding through the living room.
"Swan, I'm really not sure if this is a good idea."
"Don't be so winy, pirate. He's just a baby and according to my dad, he will get his bottle of milk and then will sleep until seven, so don't panic!"
He wants to answer her, but is interrupted by the doorbell.
Emma opens and finds her parents and Neal in front of her.
"You do know he will only spend one night, don't you" she eyes all the equipment her father is carrying into their home.
"Yes, but I wanted to be prepared, so we won't be interrupted this night" her mother is firmly beaming with mischief.
"Oh I see, someone's really in the mood of some one-on-one-time" Both women start to laugh and soon Neal is laughing too.
"We're really grateful for this evening" her father states as they're on their way out of the house.
"No worries mate. We take care of your lad and" the pirate holds up several pieces of paper. "Your instructions are very detailed."
"See you tomorrow at Granny's, Mom, Dad!" Emma waves Neal's hand and watches her parents leave hesitantly.
"We have your numbers if something comes up!" she shouts to give them some reassurance.
She closes the door and eyes her brother.
"Hey there little monkey" as he already reaches for her long blonde hair.
"We're going to have a great time with Uncle Killy over there" "Swan how many times do I need to say that I don't like to be called Killy!"
"He's a little grumpy today, so don't be too harsh with him, right Killy!" She laughs and he growles as a response.
Soon they are sitting on the couch while Neal is on a blanket on the floor playing with some kind of rattle.
"See, nothing bad happened. He seems really relaxed and as long as he is not ill or getting a new tooth he is a really nice company" She laughs at Killian's expression.
"Yes, but I think our nice company is just using his privilege to poop everywhere where he is due to these strange material around his lower half called diaper."
That's then she hears the noise her brother is making accompanied by a really strained expression on his face.
She giggles as her pirate wrinkles his nose.
"Oh stop it. That's what normal babies do. Liam will also wear diapers you know? So, as I think the little prince over there is finished with his business I would suggest we go up in the bathroom and change the diaper."
Killian just holds up his hooked arm on which currently his fake hand is attached.
"Really" She looks him dead in the eyes. "Was this ever an excuse for you not to do anything?"
"Only for the unwanted things" he answers but follows them without hesitation.
"Ugh Swan, do I really have to do this." She can't help, she can't stop to laugh, which apparently makes her brother laugh as well.
Killian is standing in front of a semi-naked Neal. As expected he managed to open the overall quite fix and opening the diapers wasn't a problem either. He's currently fighting with the baby wipes to clean the little prince's bottom.
"Yes, you'll have to do it!" Oh how she enjoys it but she also knows that payback is a bitch but she is willing to pay the price.
"Honestly I thought this whole mess would be much smellier."
"What did you expect? His main diet is currently breast milk. My mom just started to give him some baby food as lunch. So no stinky poo right my little monkey?" She tickles his toes which results in another giggle from her brother.
"God Swan, a man needs place to make his work right" Killian starts to clean up Neal and apparently he has learnt a trick by watching her father doing it because he places a washcloth over the little prince's penis.
"Don't want to get christened by your pee like your father does all the time, right lad"
Emma is just watching her pirate interacting with her brother and as he closes the diaper and redresses the baby, she can't help but thinking that he is really good dad-material.
Neal is still happy but gets a little fuzzy at the time of his bottle.
Emma heats the milk her mother gave her according to her instruction.
Meanwhile Killian is sitting on the couch, holding her little brother.
"Do you want to give him the bottle?" She looks at him and he nods.
"So little lad, I know you prefer your mommy's breast but this evening you and I have the honour and as I'm not able to nurse you, I hope this alternative serves you right."
He puts the baby bottle into the hungry mouth of Neal.
"Killian you're really a pro" she says with awe in her tone but she is interrupted by Lady who seems in need to go for a walk.
"I think Lady needs to go out. I will be back in 15 minutes"
"Ok, love, the lad and I will survive your abscence, right my little prince?" He smiles at her and then at Neal who's gulping his meal in a fast tempo.
Not even 15 minutes have past, when she comes back to the living room and her mouth falls open at the sight in front of her. Apparently her brother and her pirate are sound asleep with Neal lying on Killian's chest, the pirate's arms around the little baby to protect him from falling.
She takes out her phone and makes a picture of them. This is just too cute to pass the moment. Due to the lightening, Killian awakes.
"Ssh" "Swan, sorry, I just was so tired. What do you say? Shall we bring the little prince to bed?"
She nods and both bring Neal to his travel bed in their bedroom.
The night is silent and Neal sleeps through it as if it is the normal thing to be at his sisters.
They meet her parents at 9 o'clock and as Snow and David enter the diner they're greeted by a happy picture.
Neal on the lap of Emma who currently tries to snatch a piece of pancake which Killian is about to steal from her plate -all of them laughing.
"They will make great parents, don't you think" Snow whispers in her husband's ear before they reach the table and David whispers his answer back.
"That they'll do."
