Getting bigger
A guest asked for a oneshot of Snow and Henry commenting that Emma is a big bigger than she used to be and it turns out she's pregnant.
"Mom, are you having another serving?" Henry asked in astonishment. That was the third time his mom had added extra chicken and leek pie to her plate. It was just as well his grandma always made enough in case surprise guests came round! Emma nodded as she also added some peas and extra mash to her plate too.
"What can I say kid, I'm hungry these days." She commented before quickly cutting up her pie and digging in. Snow and Henry watched her eat (Charming was taking the late shift at the station and Hook had drawn the short straw and was sitting waiting to walk Neal home in the pouring rain from his karate class).
"You have been eating a lot more these last couple of weeks Emma, it doesn't just seem to be a one off thing." Snow added. "Not that I mind, you can eat as much as you like here you know that, but it seems so unusual of you. You said yourself the other day your jeans are becoming awful tight." Emma just shrugged, avoiding eye contact with both her mother and son.
"It's not that big a deal. They're just a little tighter." She mumbled, now just pushing her food around her plate with her fork. Both noticed Emma's cheeks had turned a delicate shade of pink; a tell-tale sign that she was definitely hiding something. Henry leaned closer across the table.
"Come on mom." He said, trying to coax it out of her. "Spill it." Emma shook her head, hoping they would drop it if she remained stubborn enough. Snow and Henry were not going to give this one up. Something told them it was extra juicy. Snow inched her chair closer to Emma.
"Nuh-uh. You are spilling this one." Snow said, just as stubborn as her daughter. "I could always call your father for extra backup. Or get your extra cute baby brother involved…"
"Alright, alright." Emma sighed, giving in. She was going to tell them soon enough anyway. "I guess there's no point in keeping it from you any longer. Although promise me you'll help me protect Killian when we break it to dad?" Snow and Henry nodded eagerly, now certain they knew what Emma was going to tell them. "I'm pregnant." Emma told them. Snow clapped her hands and squealed whilst Henry grinned widely. They knew it. Snow threw her arms around her daughter and kissed her cheek.
"Congratulations baby! My girl's having another baby!"
"Simmer down mom, it's still a while off yet," Emma said, peeling her mother of her. She turned to Henry seriously. "You're feeling ok about this?" She asked. Henry nodded.
"I knew it would happen eventually. I think it'll be pretty cool getting to be a big brother. Congratulations mom." Emma got up and walked around the table to hug her son. He was such an understanding boy. Her mom was happy. Her son was happy. She and Killian were ecstatic (if a little frightened). Only two people left, two of the most important men in Emma's life. Hopefully with some convincing from herself, her mom and Henry…plus the removal of sharp objects for her dad…they would be happy too.
