The Necklace (The Epilogue)
Emma knew she needed to Killian soon. It had only been a few months since their wedding and both couldn't be happier. Even Neal was happy for them and that said a lot.
After their wedding, Emma, Neal, and Killian sat down and talked things out. They came to an agreement and included Henry in figuring that out. Henry liked to be a part of that and Emma knew it. She knew her son was growing up and loved the man he was turning in to.
They moved out of the apartment and moved in to a house that had more room and gave them the option to expand their family if they wanted too. They did right away.
After moving in to the house, Emma and Killian surprised Henry with a puppy, one he's always wanted. The trio sat down and figured out a name, settling on Hook. Killian was confused as to why Henry and Emma loved that name, but once Henry pointed out the front paw that was darker, he knew it was a perfect fit.
Henry and Killian had taken Hook for a walk and returned in time to see Emma standing at the stove trying to get it to heat up faster.
"Everything alright there love?" Killian asked, handing Henry the leash to be put away before he headed to the kitchen kissing Emma's head.
"No! I have been trying to get this stove to heat up and it doesn't seem to want to listen." She said wanting to hit it again. Killian looked at the buttons before he reached over and turned the right burner on before turning the back one off. He didn't say anything as he moved to the fridge and grabbed a drink. Emma sighed embarrassed. Lately she was forgetting a lot of things, simple things, but she had a reason. A reason she wasn't going to tell Killian.
"What's for breakfast mom?" Henry asked as he came to the counter and sat down taking the cup of juice Killian held out.
Emma felt stupid but she was more than glad that Killian didn't press it or make fun of her. It was one thing she loved about her husband. She watched her boys sit down before she looked at them.
"Eggs Bacon and toast. Sound good?" She asked before she turned and started making breakfast. Henry and Killian started talking about things, before Emma dropped the egg carton and rushed to the bathroom causing Killian to pull out of his conversation and chase after Emma.
He caught her bent over the toilet throwing up. He pulled her hair off her face with one hand, the other hand rubbing her back.
"Leave Killian. I don't want you seeing this." She said as she grabbed some toilet paper wiping her mouth.
"Stop love. I'm not going to leave just because you are throwing up." He told her seriously. Emma smiled despite not wanting him there. She loved that he was more than willing to be there even though she had just thrown up. She brushed her teeth and pulled her hair back before kissing her husband and walking down stairs with him. Emma went back to making breakfast, though it was now waffles and bacon since the eggs were all broken on the floor.
After breakfast was over, Emma headed to work and Killian took Henry to Neal's for the afternoon.
Only Emma didn't go to work, she had something to set up and this time, no one would know about it but her.
BREAK
Emma had worked hard getting everything completely set up. Of course she was scared and worried but this was Killian she was talking about. And she knew that he would love her either way.
The ship was her first idea given it held so many memories for them but given Killian was spending his day there, their old apartment where he proposed was even better. She had put up the lights, and then sent Killian a message that she needed him to meet her there.
Standing in the middle of the room she placed her hand on her stomach trying to keep from being sick. It was now or never and she was more than scared.
Killian made his way up the stairs wondering what was going on. The text told him he needed to get to the old apartment and fast. A million things went through his head and he was more than worried. But he listened and headed to the apartment.
"Love?" He asked walking in stopping when he saw her and the lights. He closed the door behind him and headed over to where she was stopping in front of her. "Is everything okay?" He asked taking in her look. She looked pale, like she was going to be sick again.
"Emma, what is wrong?" He asked her again worried. Emma didn't say anything as she looked at him fear rising in her. She turned and ran out the apartment as fast as she could, needing to get some air. Killian followed her after a moment looking for her once he was down stairs.
Emma ran until she got to her parents tears in her eyes. Charming opened the door and threatened to kill Killian as Emma stepped in to the house. Snow moved to her daughter pulling her in to a hug.
"Killian didn't do anything. I did. I just… I tried to tell him and I failed at it and I ran leaving him there and Im so horrible hes going to leave me like Neal did." She cried into her moms shoulder. Snow sent charming out to find Killian and let him know Emma was okay, knowing the ex pirate would be worried.
Snow led Emma to the couch and sat her down before sitting in front of her. She rubbed Emma's back as Emma curled in to her mom, her head on Snows shoulder.
"Mom I messed up. I shouldn't have ran. He is going to be so mad. But I'm scared. I'm scared he is going to leave me and not want to be with me anymore." Emma cried, trying to control her tears. But it was a loss cause. Snow was more than confused as she listened to her daughter cry.
"Emma, honey you need to tell me what's going on. I'm more lost than Killian." Snow said looking to her daughter. She continued rubbing her back giving Emma the comfort she needed.
"I'm pregnant. And I am scared if I tell Killian he will leave me." Emma said once the tears calmed down. Snows heart broke for her daughter. Not because Killian would leave, but because she was too scared to tell him. Snow knew he would be excited. Killian loved being a dad to a child that wasn't his biologically; she knew he would be wonderful to a child that was completely his.
"Killian wouldn't dare leave you. He loves you far too much to even dream of it." Snow told Emma continuing to rub her back. After a while Emma had calmed down and Charming returned with Killian, who was still more than confused.
"May I have a moment with my wife?" He asked once he was in the living room. Emma and Snow set the mugs full of cocoa on the table. Snow and Charming both kissed Emma's head before they walked from the room giving Emma and Killian some space.
"Hi." Emma said softly as Killian sat beside her. Like always, he kissed her forehead, Emma smiling in to the kiss. She knew her fears were stupid when it came to Killian but at the same time, she was still scared.
"Hi love. So your dad said you were okay but something tells me you aren't. What's going on love?" He asked her softly as he looked to her. Emma knew she needed to tell him. But she wanted to do it in a way he would remember. Pushing him to rest back against the couch, she moved to straddle his lap looking to him.
"I have to tell you something and it scares me. But I hope that when I tell you you will be excited. And I hope you will remember it." She told him as she took a deep breath. Leaning forward she placed a kiss to his lips before pulling back knowing she had to tell him soon.
"I promise love, whatever it is I'm sure I'll remember it." He said wanting her to get it over with so he could stop stressing. A million non-Emma like things ran through his mind, but he trusted her. He knew she wouldn't do anything to hurt him.
Instead of speaking Emma pulled out a small black box with a red Ribbon around it like his gifts to her had been. Smiling, Killian took the box from Emma and untied the ribbon before he opened it. Inside the box was a long silver chain with two dog tags on it. One had the date of Henrys birth; the other had a date that was at least 6 months away. Killian looked to the date before looking to Emma trying to figure it out. Before he could speak she pulled out one more things for him.
Rolled up and tied with a ribbon was a piece of paper. Again, Killian took it from her and opened it up. It was a piece of white paper. Emma smiled waiting for him to turn it over. As he did his face went from unreadable to full of shock.
"I'm going to be a dad?" He asked grinning as he looked to her. Suddenly it clicked. The throwing up, the fear, the date on the tag. He laughed at himself for not seeing it sooner. Setting the paper, box and necklace down, he pulled her closer to him and kissed her. Emma smiled at his reaction, throwing her earlier fears out the window.
"You are going to be a dad love!" She said against his lips smiling. Killian held Emma to him as he kissed her before he pulled back and placed his hand on her stomach.
"I love you, I love you, I love you. Thank you." He told her kissing her stomach softly, Emma's eyes filling up with tears.
"Thank you?" She asked confused as she watched him pull back, tears of his own in his eyes.
"You have given me something no one else would have dared to do. You love me, you married me, you let me be a part of a real family, you married me, and now you are giving me a child. I love you. I always will love you." He told her wiping her tears as he kissed her once more smiling as she kissed him back. Snow and charming came in to the room congratulating them. They spoke for a while before Killian and Emma headed home, stopping to get Henry on the way, loving how excited he was when they told him.
BREAK
6 MONTHS LATER
True to the date on the tag, Emma went in to labor the moment the clock struck a minute after midnight. Killian laughed at how it worked out, before Emma punched him in the arm and told him to get her to the hospital.
An hour later, 1:15, Emma gave birth to Kennedy Katherine Jones. She had her father's bright blue eyes and her mom's blonde hair. Emma hadn't seen Killian cry since she told him about being pregnant. But the second his daughter was placed in to his arms, he started to cry, completely in love with her.
Emma had fallen asleep and Killian sat in the rocking chair holding Kennedy, smiling as he watched her. Henry had seen his new little sister and was excited to be a big brother. Neal had been in earlier; he brought Henry in, and told Emma and Killian congratulations. They were glad they were now on good terms with Neal, given Henry wanted to have him in his life.
Looking down at his daughter, Killian smiled kissing her forehead.
"You lass have been born in to the best family around. Your grandfather will be very protective of you, but he's a great guy. Your Grandmother is very loving and is a great cook. Your big brother loves you and will be protective as well. You got the world's best mom. She is amazing, and beautiful, and caring, and will give you the best kisses and hugs and always be there for you. I can't promise to be the perfect dad, but I'll be the best I can, for you and your brother of course. Then there are tons of people in town who love you and plan to spoil you. They do it to your older brother so they shall do the same to you. Your mom and I plan to love you always." He told her smiling as he kissed her forehead.
Emma woke up a little before he started talking and couldn't help the tears in her eyes. She was beyond blessed when it came to Killian. She carefully got up and moved over to where he saw and kissed his head lovingly before kissing Kennedy's.
"I love you my Pirate." She told him smiling sitting on his lap, taking Kennedy from him.
"I love you too my princess." He said smiling holding her close, enjoying this moment. He knew they would have problems, but he knew more than anything they would make it through them all together.
