Time for another time jump! This one is two weeks after the last one (in chapter three) after Emma and Killian found out they are having twins. Thanks again for all of your support! (sorry for the little cliffhanger at the end of the last chapter, we just had to)

CHAPTER FIVE- Storybrooke, One and a half months ago

"My parents and brother are going to be over anytime for dinner! Killian, lock the nursery door, I don't want them or Neal wandering in there." Emma was in a panicked frenzy running around trying to get everything prepared for the family evening in.

"It's been two weeks since we found out, love. How long exactly are we going to hide the fact that we are having twins from your parents?" Killian was setting the table and pulling up extra chairs.

"Actually, I was going to tell them tonight. Just be careful not to accidently tell them exactly what we are expecting."

"You have my word. Are you sure you are feeling up for this dinner?"

"It would be better if you could get your son and daughter to stop kicking me constantly, but other than that, it has actually been better than most days." Emma rubbed her stomach as she went to get the lasagna out of the oven.

Killian sprinted into the kitchen. "I've got it, love. Go relax before they arrive. I don't want you overworking yourself." He placed his hand on her stomach.

"I'm fine. I don't want to feel useless for four and a half more months." Emma reluctantly let Killian get the food out. "Hopefully Henry gets home soon. Robin was giving him an archery lesson today."

"The lad is usually good about getting home on time. He has been a particularly laid back teenager. I doubt we have the same luck with the twins."

Right on cue they heard the front door open. "Hey mom, hey Killian, I'm home!"

"We are in the kitchen, kid! Want to come and help us finish up before your grandparents and uncle get here?" Emma shouted.

"No problem! Let me put my backpack in my room, and then I will be right in." Henry soon came rushing into the kitchen. "What can I help with?"

"Why don't you get some glasses of water on the table?" Emma asked.

"Sure. Do we still have some of Neal's Sippy cups here?"

"Yeah, top left shelf, next to the refrigerator."

"Did you have fun, lad?" Killian asked.

"It was a blast! Robin said that I would have made a great Merry Man if we still lived in the Enchanted Forest," Henry beamed as he placed the waters on the table and then turned towards the entry to the kitchen. "I think they are here. I just heard a knock on the door."

"Coming!" Emma yelled as they all walked towards the front door.

Killian opened the door and gestured Mary Margret, David, and Neal inside. "Come on in your highnesses," Killian smirked.

"Emma!" Neal ran in and latched to Emma's leg.

"Hey Neal! How are you?" She placed her hand on his head, ruffling his curly, black head of hair.

"Good." Neal smiled at his big sister.

"Emma, Killian, Henry, I feel like I haven't seen you in forever!" Mary Margret hugged Henry and Emma.

"It's only been a couple weeks. We've been…busy."

"How are the preparations going? Have you started on the nursery? Picked any names? Ah! We need to start talking about a baby shower! Emma, I am so excited for you!" Mary Margret beamed with pride.

"Come on. Let's eat. We can save the baby talk for dinner."

"Daddy! Cake!" Neal was reaching for the pan in David's hands.

"Whoa there! Not until after you've eaten your meal." David took the cake to the kitchen with Neal pouting after him.

Everyone got their plates and sat down at the table, Henry and Neal at either end, Killian and Emma on one side, and Mary Margret and David on the other.

"Before we start eating, Killian and I have some news…" Emma paused and took a deep breath. "We're having twins."

"Are you serious, mom?" Henry's eyes were bright.

"Aye, lad. Your mother is telling the truth. We received the news at her appointment two weeks ago."

"Emma…that's great!" Mary Margret was ecstatic. She would have two more grandchildren in a matter of months.

"Just not quite the update we were expecting. It's made the planning all that more hectic." Emma mumbled.

"That's exactly why we need to throw you a baby shower! A day just for you to relax and think about the two little royals on the way. The guests will bring presents that should make things easier for the both of you." Everyone could almost see the ideas swirling around in Mary Margret's head.

"Just don't make it into some big commotion."

"You will let me plan one?" Mary Margret said, hopeful.

"Dad?" Emma pleaded.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure she doesn't go overboard," David gave his wife a look.

"Do you guys know if it's going to be two boys, two girls, or one of each?" Henry was itching to know.

Emma and Killian avoided everyone's gaze.

"You do know don't you?! Come on, tell me!"

Emma looked at her son. "Henry, I know you are excited, but Killian and I decided that we weren't going to tell anyone what we are having just yet."

"But, you do know." David flashed a look at his daughter.

"Yeah, we do." Emma gave a mischievous glance to her father.

"Hey Killian, do you want to come to guy's night out next week?"

"I would love to Dave, but if this is your attempt to get me drunk enough to tell you the gender of our twins, it is a pitiful one. Everyone knows that a pirate, especially a pirate captain can hold his rum," Killian smirked.

"What? I'm just trying to get some father-son bonding time in before you get busy," David said sarcastically.

"Sure mate…"
