1 week later
Emma and Killian sat in the dr office waiting room as they waited to be called back. Emma had been instructed to come in for a 1 week check-up to check on her recovery and check on the babies. Killian sat as his leg shook with nerves. Emma noticed and place her hand on his knee.
"It's ok," Emma said, hoping she could calm him down, "They're just going to shine a light in my eyes, check my reflexes, and do an ultrasound. We'll be out of here in an hour."
"I'm just not use to the ways of your world quite yet," Killian said, "those wretched machines make me nervous."
"Emma Swan." The nurse called through the waiting room. Emma and Killian stood up and followed her through the door and to her exam room. Emma sat on the crinkling paper as Killian twirled on the doctor's chair, his face giddy like a little boy.
Emma giggled and Killian stopped, "What?" He said, "We never had something this fun on the Jolly Roger."
"It must not have been very Jolly then, huh?" Emma said with a chuckle.
"Ha Ha," Killian said as Dr. Whale walked in.
"Emma, how have you been?" Whale said looking down at his paperwork.
"Apparently having twins," She said looking from Whale to Killian.
"Yes, you most certainly are." Whale said, "Would you like to see them?"
"Y-Yeah," Emma said, scared out of her mind.
Whale moved to grab the ultrasound machine and rolled it towards the exam table as Emma laid down. Killian stood next to her, his hand shaking in hers. Whale squirted the gel onto Emma's abdomen and glided the instrument across her belly. Emma and Killian looked up at the screen and saw two black circular shapes with two tiny little gummy bear looking things moving around.
Emma gasped as she the sound of their heartbeats made their way to her ears. Killian squeezed her hand harder as they both looked at each other with a mixture of wonder and fear in both of their eyes.
"They look healthy as can be and growing right on track, strong heartbeats." Whale said noticing how nervous Killain was, "Would you like a picture?" Whale said.
"Y-Yeah, I'd love that," Emma said. Whale began printing pictures of their little duo.
Killian turned Emma's head with his good hand and kissed her hard. Whale removed the ultrasound wand from Emma's abdomen and handed her a few tissues to wipe her belly off.
Whale cleared his throat, "I'll, uh, give you two a few minutes." And then he left the room.
Once Whale left the room, Emma pulled Killian down hard. Kissing him with everything she had, pressing her body against him as much as she could. Killian broke the kiss with a heavy gasp to tenderly wipe the gel from her belly.
"Maybe we should finish this at home." Killian said, resting his forehead on Emma's and resting his hand on her thigh.
Emma groaned, "My parents are probably still home, " Emma said, "We really need to get our own place."
"Aye," Killian said, "Because this is torture." Killian groaned as he adjusted himself, no doubt because of the uncomfortable bulge Emma could see in his pants. Emma laughed as she stood up and pulled her shirt down.
"What do you say we go look at a few places today?" Emma said excitedly.
"Really? Is that was you want?" Killian said with sincerity in his eyes, "I don't want to force you to do something you're not comfortable with."
Emma sighed, "I think I'll be far more than comfortable with it." Emma pulled him in again as she kissed him hard, pushing his chest away as she caught her breath.
Emma and Killian made their way back to the loft, buzzing about baby names and genders the whole way home. Emma walked into the loft to find David and Henry laughing hysterically about something and Snow was standing in the kitchen making lunch.
Snow turned as they walked through the door, "So?" She said looking for an update, "How did it go?"
"I-it's…. we're really having twins." Emma pulled out the photo Dr. Whale had printed out and walked across the room to hand it to Snow. Snow stood looking at the photo, smiling softly as her finger stroked the image in her hand. She slowly looked up at Emma, the smile growing with each second she held the photo.
"Emma, you're going to be an amazing mother." Snow said then realized what she said, "Again."
Emma smiled as Henry walked to Snow and she gave him the pictures.
"Do you know if they are boy or girl yet?" Henry asked excitedly.
Emma laughed, "We won't find that out for a couple more months, kid." Emma said as Henry walked over to her and Killian. Killian ruffled his hair and then wrapped an arm around his shoulders.
"We were going to see about looking at some places to live, lad." Killian said looking down at Henry, "Would you like to come along?"
"Really?" Henry said looking from Killian to Emma, "We're gonna get our own place? Killian's going to live with us?"
"Yeah, kid, "Emma said smiling and patting him on the shoulder.
"Cool." Henry said, running and grabbing his coat, "Let's go!"
Emma laughed and turned to go back out as Henry opened the door.
"You go ahead, love, "Killian said, "I think I forgot something in your room, I'll be right out."
"Ok," Emma said, giving him a quick kiss, "We'll wait in the car."
Emma walked down the stairs and got in the car with Henry, turning the key and warming the car up.
"Do you love him?" Henry asked earnestly.
Emma's eyes went wide and turned to face her son who sat in the back seat her expression softening when her eyes met his. She had forgotten how much he had changed. His childlike features were fading, his voice had gotten much deeper than when she met him at 10, and he had a little peach fuzz starting just under his nose on his upper lip.
"Yes," Emma said, "So much." Emma smiled and turned back around as Killian climbed into the car. Killian pulled out a map and flipped it around until he got the view he was looking for.
"Alright, "Killian said, pointing his hook at an 'X' that was marked on the map, "this shall be our first venture." He smiled and looked up at Emma smiling as she smiled at him and started their drive to the first place to look at.
The three of them looked at several places before the sun started to go down. Emma had kept a list of pros and cons for each place, some houses and some apartments. They finally pulled into the parking space at the loft and began going through the list.
"I liked the house off of Main Street," Henry said, "It had a pool."
"No pools." Emma said sternly, looking at the list again, "I have two in mind."
Killian and Henry looked at the ones marked and both pointed at the same time, their fingers landing on the same one. Emma smiled as the two laughed about their same decision.
"Well, it's decided, " Emma said, "We're moving into the Nolan's old house." Emma laughed at the irony as Killian folded up his map and stuffed it in the glove box.
"Shall we go look at it one more time?" Killian said raising an eyebrow at Emma.
"Can I just go up to the loft and you guys go?" Henry asked, visibly tired, "Grams is making spaghetti for dinner."
"Yeah, sure, go ahead," Emma said, "We'll be back in a few minutes."
Emma waited until Henry went through the door before she started the car again. They reached the little house faster than Emma realized and cut the engine. Killian pulled the keys he had gotten for the day and got out of the car. Emma followed suit and walked up the walkway and then the stairs to the front door. Killian had already opened the door and walked in.
Emma's mouth flew open as she stepped around the rose petals on the floor. She followed the trail to the living room area where a circle had been formed with candles and rose petals. Emma couldn't breathe as she walked to Killian who was standing in the middle of the circle. Killian was smiling as big as he'd ever smiled with his hand clasping his hook in front of him.
Emma's eyes were wide as she reached Killian, "Wh-What's going on?" Emma said, her heart felt like it was going to beat out of her chest. Killian grabbed her hands as he kneeled down, a tear had begun to roll down his cheek.
"Swan," Killian said, "From the moment you kissed me in that jungle, I knew I would hold no one else in my heart. Our road to this moment has been bumpy and broken, but every second my heart beats in my chest now, my love only grows for you." Killian pulled something from his pouch on his belt, holding it up in the candle light. Emma stared at the familiar ring in his had, the green stone glistening with the flickering of the candles, "Emma Swan," Killian started.
"Y-Yes." Emma said before he could finish, pulling him up and kissing him hard. Emma heard the floorboards creak and someone clear their voice. She turned around to see her parents with Neal and Henry. All were smiling.
"Y-You knew?" Emma said confused.
"Who do you think gave him the ring?" Snow said, smiling sweetly.
"And who do you think gave him permission?" David said laughing.
"Hey, you only gave partial permission, Gramps," Henry said laughing with David.
Killian pulled Emma to him and held the ring up, "You forgot to let me put this on." Killian grabbed her left hand and slid her mother's ring on her finger.
"It was my mother's," She heard her father say from behind her, "And so was this." Emma turned to see a necklace in David's hand. Snow handed Neal to David and grabbed the necklace, walking over to Emma.
Snow grabbed Emma's hand and held the necklace up, "Before I was pregnant with you, your grandmother held this over my hand and told me that her mother had it enchanted so that it would tell you the gender of your future children. This necklace told me that you would be a girl." The necklace started swaying back and forth, then stopped and swung the other way.
"W-What does that mean?" Emma said, not sure what the necklace was supposed to do.
"You're going to have a boy and a girl." Snow said, smiling through her happy tears.
Emma looked up at her mother, both of them crying. She wrapped her arms around her mother, crying happily. Emma pulled away and looked at the ring on her finger. Engaged. She was going to marry and have twins and with a pirate no less. Emma looked up at Killian and smiled the biggest smile she could. So this is what her parents were raving about for so long.
