Killian and Emma get a bit of a surprise at Emma's first ultrasound.

Killian Jones tapped his hook nervously against the arm of the chair. He was a pirate who had come face to face with many dangers, but none of threats had made him as terrified as he was now: sitting in a chair, in a hospital waiting room, waiting for his wife's name to be called. He looked over at her, her blond hair falling past her shoulders, her green eyes focused straight ahead of her, her hand holding his as he rubbed soothing circles on top of it. The couple had married in early June and shortly afterwards Emma had revealed her pregnancy to Killian.

The couple had just gone to bed after watching Henry and Roland for the day. Regina was nearly twenty weeks pregnant and today was going to be their gender reveal ultrasound. They had wanted to surprise the boys and their friends with a special reveal party, Emma and Killian had taken them to the zoo for the day. But of course, Emma had a special surprise of her own for her husband. Once the couple was in bed, Emma and Killian kissed good night before she snuggled into his arms. They stayed silent for a few moments before Emma said, "Today was a pretty great day wasn't it babe?"

Killian smiled and kissed her on the top of her head, "Any day with you is a special day love."

"But still you, me, the boys, all at the zoo. Can't you just see us having a family some day?" asked Emma.

Killian grinned happily and said, "Well of course love. We can get started right now if you want?" he grinned coyly.

Emma rolled her eyes but then a small smile formed across her face, "Actually, we don't need to do anything."

Emma pulled something out of the nightstand drawer and handed it to Killian. He squinted at the stick for a few moments, "What am I looking at Swan?" asked Killian confused.

Emma chuckled at the sound of her maiden name. Though she had been Emma Jones for a few months now, Killian still called her Swan as a term of endearment. She smiled and pointed to the two lines on the stick, "You see those two lines?" Killian nodded his affirmation and Emma continued, "They tell me that you're going to be a Daddy."

Killian's eyes widened and a smile spread across his face, "Are you serious love?" he questioned happily.

"I'm pregnant Killian," Emma smiled as she half laughed, half cried.

Killian put the test down on his nightstand and embraced Emma, passionately kissing her, "I can't believe it. We're having a baby!"

"Emma Jones," the receptionist called.

Killian and Emma glanced at each other before they stood hand in hand. The nurse led the couple down the hall to the exam room, where she tested Emma vitals before saying, "The doctor will be in momentarily."

The couple nodded and Killian went back to nervously tapping the chair. Whale entered a few moments later, "Good morning Emma, Killian," he nodded to both of them, "So I hear some congratulations are in order?" he asked with a small smile on his face.

"Yeah," Emma chuckled nervously. Killian walked over to her and took her hand.

Whale nodded, "Well congratulations to both of you. Now if you could just lean back for me and I'll check to see how far along you are and make sure everything is going smoothly." Emma nodded and obeyed Whale's order, hiking her blouse up to just below her breasts. Killian continued to rub soothing circles on the top of her hand while Whale started the ultrasound machine. He squirted the gel onto the probe and placed it in the center of Emma's abdomen and began to search for the little life inside of her. His eyes widened in surprise at something on the screen, "Well would you look at that," he said, a smirk forming at his lips.

"What? Is something wrong?" asked Emma glancing between the screen and Whale.

"No Emma, everything appears to be just fine," assured Whale, "Now this is you second pregnancy correct?"

"Yes," Emma confirmed.

"Well it appears you're just over eight weeks," said Whale tapping a few keys, "And if you'd give me a second…" he trailed off, eyes flicking over the screen. Emma glanced at Killian with a nervous expression. His concern mirrored back, "Now this pregnancy was a surprise correct?" asked Whale.

"Well, it wasn't planned," answered Killian.

Whale chuckled lightly before he smiled at the couple, "Well, I'm sorry to throw another surprise at you," he apologized in advance, Emma, you're having twins!"

Emma's eyebrows hit her hairline and Killian let go of Emma's hand without thinking about it, "Excuse me, repeat that again," Emma squeaked.

Whale spun the screen towards the couple and pointed to each of the two small blobs in the center, "Baby A. Baby B," he said.

"So twins," said Killian hesitantly.

"Yes Killian," said Whale.

"So that means two babies correct?" asked Killian, holding up two fingers, only now realizing he was no longer holding Emma's hand.

"That's what it means, yes," teased Whale.

Killian shook his head and whispered, "Twins."

"Yeah twins," Emma chuckled apprehensively.

Whale cleared his throat and questioned, "Would you both like to hear their heartbeats?"

"Heartbeats," Emma hesitated, "Plural."

Whale took that answer as a yes so he pressed the doppler down more firmly and tapped a key. The out of time sound of what sound like trotting horses filled the room. at that moment, Emma was sure she stopped breathing, "There's the first baby," said Whale and then moved the probe slightly, "And there's the second baby." He wiped the jelly off of Emma's stomach and Killian helped her sit up on the table. Whale printed out two sonograms and handed them to the couple. He also handed Emma a prescription and said, "Well everything looks good Emma, I'll see you in a few weeks."

He went to leave the room before Emma spoke, "Whale?" Whale turned around to face the couple and Emma asked, "Do you know how this happened? The twin thing I mean?"

Whale smiled, "Well don't twins run in your family Emma? Sometimes twins are random, but genetics are often a factor."

Emma and Killian looked at each other and Emma sighed, "He's right. Dad's a twin," said Emma, "There was a good possibility."

Whale smiled and said, "Best of luck to you both."

Later that night, Emma just stared at the ultrasound, the two babies clearly distinguishable. A smile formed at her lips, thinking back to seeing Henry on the ultrasounds sixteen years ago, but the excitement was replaced with anxiety once again. Killian rolled over to face his wife and kissed her temple, "Are you alright baby?"

"Oh please don't say that word Killian," scolded Emma lightly.

Killian chuckled and wrapped his arm around her as she snuggled closer to him. He took the sonogram from Emma and gazed at it, "Our little lads are adorable aren't they?"

Emma smiled and asked, "What makes you think they're boys?"

Killian shrugged, "I don't. They could be little ladies. Or a little lad and a little lady. But it's fun to think about the possibilities."

Emma sighed, "It's just all so overwhelming I mean, I put Henry up for adoption because I wasn't ready to be a mother. Now I am and I have not one, but two, babies to raise!"

Killian rubbed Emma's back soothingly and said, "But it's also twice the love, twice the kisses, twice the 'I love you Mummy's'. And if it's any consolation, Henry has grown up to be a caring young man. And both you and Regina are wonderful mothers."

Emma bit her lower lip cutely and breathed a sigh of relief, "We will get double the love won't we?"

Killian smiled and said, "I'll have three people to fall in love with all over again."

Emma teared up at his response and rubbed his cheek, "I love you Killian. So much."

"I love you too Swan," he said. He kissed both sides of her abdomen and said, "And Mummy and Daddy love you both too. We can't wait to meet you."
