Water baby

A couple of guests asked for a oneshot of Emma deciding to have a home water birth for her and Killian's daughter as she believes the child of a pirate should really be born in water.

"There's still time to change your mind, love." Killian said, rubbing the base of Emma's back as the midwife filled up the birthing pool. "We can go to the hospital instead. You can get gas and air or whatever other potions they have in that place…"

"No." Emma panted. "This baby is being born at home like I was, and in water to honour her pirate father."

"Well let's hope her birth isn't quite like yours." Snow interjected. "Let's hope for less curse and Evil Queens." Emma gave a weak smile before another contraction hit her.

"The pool is ready for you Emma." The midwife said. Emma nodded, taking deep breaths through her nose until she was steady. When she was, she stripped off her lower half and Charming and Snow helped her into the pool. She took a hand from each of them.

"Here we go." Snow said, voice filled with excitement."

"Please tell me you don't have that Polaroid." Emma pleaded, remember the last time she heard those words. Snow smiled and shook her head. She used her free hand to gently stroke through Emma's hair. She couldn't believe she was here for the birth of her granddaughter. Hook's face was pale. This was it, nine months had flown by. He was going to be a father. Emma looked to him and picked up on his nerves. She squeezed his hand reassuringly. Hook picked up her message when he looked at her brave smile. She was telling him they could do this. They could have this baby and together they could raise them. Their little water baby.

I will not be writing a sequel to this as I have already written so many stories about Emma giving birth :).
