This chapter gave me a little trouble because I'm transitioning from following the storyline to making it up as I go, but after this chapter I've got lots of ideas so I will be updating a chapter (or two) a day. I hope you enjoy the first completely AU chapter!
Emma scanned the faces of the group that began forming in the street trying to find Killian, but couldn't.
"I haven't seen him," Snow said, noticing her daughter's worried face, "I'm sure he's still at the docks and safe." Emma nodded hoping her mother was right.
"I saw him!" Henry chimed in overhearing the conversation, "He was at my mom's office, I-I kind of called him a dirty pirate and that I hated him more now that you guys were going to have a baby." Henry said regretfully as Emma's eyes went wide, "I'm sorry."
Emma stopped, reminding herself that Henry was under the spell, "It's ok Henry, but you did see him? And he was ok?"
"Kinda," Henry said not telling the whole story.
"What do you mean, kinda?" Snow asked curiously.
"Well, I spread some marbles in front of the door, you know, just in case." Henry started, looking from Snow to Emma, "And when he walked through the door he slipped and fell pretty hard." Snow brought her hand to her mouth in shock and then slowly smiled.
"Maybe you should go find him, Emma." Snow said trying to conceal her laugh.
"Yeah," Emma said, chuckling at the thought of Killian flying through the air because of her child's silly prank. Emma turned to head towards the docks when she saw him leave Gold's shop. Confused, she ran to him.
"Killian!" Emma said before their mouths collided, "Mmm, are you ok?" She mumbled as she continued kissing him quickly. Killian nodded his head yes as he continued to kiss Emma.
Killian grabbed her shoulders and moved her away, "And you're ok? The baby?"
Emma grabbed Killian's hand and put it to her belly, "Yes, we're fine." She said putting her hand to the back of his neck and resting her forehead on his, "We're fine." She whispered again.
Killian straightened up, looking around, "The boy, Henry, is he ok?"
"Yes, he's fine. I thought you chained yourself to the docks?" Emma said looking up at Killian.
"Well, it seems Hook is more clever than the man I have become." Killian said smirking, "I was out of those restraints quite smartly if I do say so myself."
Emma laughed as she entwined her fingers with his and they walked back towards the group. A big commotion was stirring at the group when Emma and Killian got to them.
"What's going on?" Emma asked Snow as she put her hands up to quiet the crowd.
"Everyone believes we should have a celebration." Snow said excitedly, hugging her daughter with one arm.
"Isn't it a little too soon to be celebrating?" Emma said cautiously, "We usually don't have longer than a few days before something else bad happens."
"Emma," Snow said, sighing "We can't just cower and wait for something bad to happen. We need to cherish the good moments while we have them."
Emma relaxed sighing, "You're right, we should enjoy the quiet while it lasts."
"Party at Granny's!" Killian shouted as he laughed and looked at Emma.
Everyone cheered as they headed to the diner.
"I better get in there and get the cook ready for a big crowd," Granny said, running ahead.
Emma pulled Killian's arm to keep him back as everyone went in. She wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face into his chest, breathing deeply in.
"I thought I would never see you again." Emma said, turning her head to rest on his chest, "I figured Hook had to have a lot of people angry with him."
"And you didn't think I could handle a few angry brutes?" Killian said, shocked.
"Well," Emma said rocking back and forth, "maybe chained to a dock…"
"Aye, touché," Killian said, "What say you to us joining that little party now?" Killian grabbed Emma's hands as he walked backwards towards the diner.
"I say, one more kiss and I'm game," Emma said, pulling Killian down by his collar and kissing him hard.
"Well," Killian said pulling away slightly, "that's how I like to start a party."
Emma smirked and pulled away, grabbing his hand and walking into the diner. When they walked in, everyone was buzzing with happiness and cheer.
"I see the rum is out," Killian said, letting go of Emma's hand and walking to the counter.
"Emma!" Snow shouted from across the room. Emma looked over to see Snow, David, Henry, and Regina sitting in a booth. Snow was waving for Emma to join them at the table they had pulled to the booth. Emma walked over to the table and sat next to her mother.
"How are you feeling?" Snow asked Emma, touching her belly before Emma could object.
Emma blushed and put her hand on top of her mother's hand, "Doing good, a few bouts of vomiting and I've been super tired, but other than that, great." Emma said resting her head on her hand and closing her eyes. Just then cheerful shouting rang through the diner. Emma turned to see Killian being clapped on the back by a bunch of guys as he raised a glass full of rum.
Red came over at the table and looked to Emma, sniffing the air, "You're pregnant?" Red said, surprise on her face.
"I-I… yeah." Emma said, blushing again.
Red lowered her head to Emma, "Killian?" She said in a hushed tone, looking at the pirate.
"I-I…" Emma started.
"Yes." Snow finished for her, "And we couldn't be happier for them."
Emma chuckled, "That's not what you said earlier."
"Emma!" Snow said loudly by accident, and then lowered her voice, "I was under the curse, you know I didn't mean that… don't you?"
Emma looked at her mother, "I do, I-It's just I can't get the feeling out of my head that you aren't completely happy about it."
"Oh, Emma," Snow said, pulling Emma into an embrace, she pulled away and looked into Emma's eyes, "I'm slightly disappointed that you didn't get married first." A flash of hurt showed in Emma's eyes, "But that doesn't mean that I'm not happy about this baby." Snow looked over at Killian who was looking at Emma as he laughed with the guys. "I believe he is your true love, Emma, Why wouldn't I be happy for you and Killian."
"You really think so?" Emma said looking over to Killian.
"I know so," Snow said hugging her daughter once more. Emma stood to go over to Killian, but just as she stood, the room began to spin. Emma put her hand on the table to steady herself.
"Emma, are you ok?" Emma heard her mother say.
"Yeah," She said bewildered, "Just a little diz-."
"Emma!" Snow shouted as everything went black.
