"David… What are you doing here?" Emma asked walking up to his father; he was supposed to be patrolling the town while she ran out with Neal for her doctor's appointment.
"I'm looking for your mother," he replied as he looked around the hallway, only to notice Neal getting closer to them. "You got to be…"
"Charming?" Snow interrupted opening the door of a waiting room next to them. "Emma! What are you doing here?" She added once she noticed her.
"The same thing you're doing, I supposed," Emma murmured as she felt the hand of Neal slipped into her own while he greeted her parents, but before anyone else made a comment she passed next to her mother and dragged a confused Neal behind her. This definitely wasn't how she planned the day, but there was no going back, so she sat and watched as Neal walked over to the secretary to confirm their date. "I didn't know you were coming today," she said as Snow sat next to her.
"Well, we're supposed to know if it's going to be a boy a girl, so I thought it would be nice to surprise you with the news over lunch."
"So you want to know? I mean, that wasn't the way you do it back there, was it?"
"Well not normally, but my mom had an amulet that let you know the sex of your first born so…" David tried to explain as he sat next to Mary Margaret.
"And still you though I was a boy," Emma complained trying to sound angry.
"Yeah, well, it was supposed to be a surprise but Snow always knew," James murmured as Neal approached them.
"They are ready for us," he announced pointing to a door behind him and extending his other hand to Emma, who gently accepted it before murmuring something to her parents and walking away with Neal.
"I guessed I can't really yell at the couple that was late for their appointment."
"We can yell at half of it," David proposed with a little smile. "But I guess it was my fault Emma was late," he added before explaining how Emma had been trying to lure him out of the office the last half an hour while he tried to delay his departure in order to give him more time with his wife.
"Next time we'll just tell her what we're up to," Snow whispered putting her head on his shoulder and closing her eyes for what she thought was a second.
"So, how is our new grandchild?" David asked as Emma walked out to the waiting room.
"She's amazing," Neal answered as his happy smile turned into a proud smirk.
"Yeah, he's looking pretty good," the mother agreed.
"I'm sure he is," Mary Margaret replied with a smile. "Emma, giving that I'm not going to surprise you over lunch…"
"What Mary Margaret is trying to say is that we would love if you joined us," her father explained.
"I should really go to the station," Emma replied with a little smile, not entirely sure of what she wanted. "You can still surprise me at lunch; I'll make sure David doesn't say anything to me," she offered.
"See you at lunch then," Mary Margaret said as the secretary called them.
"See you back at the office," David added walking behind his wife, who was now talking to the woman that had called her seconds before.
The young couple walked in silence as they started to leave the building, but Emma couldn't stop thinking in the offer her mother made her. After the relieve of seeing her own healthy baby on the ultrasound, a part of her started to wonder about her knew sibling and that part was growing and growing which each minute that past.
"Neal… I think I want to go with them," Emma mumbled after she stopped walking.
"I get it, you don't need to explain anything," Neal said stepping closer and giving her a small kiss. "Now go, I'm sure Snow will be delighted to see you."
"I'll call you later," she said giving him an apologetic smile before walking again into the waiting room as her confidence started to melt away. Mary Margaret said she could join them, but now she was already inside and Emma doubted she could just walk back into the office. Giving the door a confused look she started to walk to the front desk, but before she could even reach it the secretary gave her a sweet smile.
"Your mother said you could go in," she assured her.
"Thank you," Emma replied with smile as she started to walk towards the same office she left your minutes before and knocked. "Can I come in?"
As an answered the door opened revealing the face of his father. "Come, hurry," he said before taking her hand and guiding her towards the place where her mother was laying.
"I'm so glad you decided to stay," she said as she extended her hand towards Emma as she past her hand across her face taking away the tears that had managed to escape. "Let me show you your little brother," she added pointing to the monitor.
So that was the second half of the chapter. I hope you like it, so please let me know what you thought about it :)
