Happy Beginning Captain Swan

4th Wedding Anniversary

A week later, Henry was doing his online school work when his Mom entered the room. "Henry, you got mail." Henry gets the envelope from his Mom. "It is from Boston." He looks at the letter. "Do you want me to leave the room?"
"No, stay." He opens the letter. Congratulations, Henry Mills Swan-Jones!!" He smiles. "I got in!!"
"You are going to Brown!!"
"Yes, I got into Brown extension school!!"
Emma hugs her son who is going to college. "Congratulations, Henry. My son is going to college."
"I am going to make you proud."
"You make me proud every day." She began crying. "My baby boy is going to college."
Two weeks later, Emma was 5 months pregnant. She looks more pregnant now since she is at her halfway mark. She was sitting up in her hotel bed and rubbing her baby bump. "Leia, Mommy loves you so much, baby girl. You are getting so big inside of my tummy."
Killian wakes up hearing his swan talking to their little lass on the way. "Little love, your Mommy is the best." He hugs her stomach. "Dada loves you so much, Leia." He kisses his wife's baby bump. "Swan, are you hungry?"
"No, I just feel so bloated and tired. Our daughter is moving so much around now. I hate waddling but I love our baby girl."
"I love our littlest love, too." She leans his cheek against her bare baby bump. Leia moves.
"Leia is moving."
"Where?" She guides her husband's hand to where she was moving.
"Hi, Leia. Dada is here. I am with you and your Mommy."
"Leia loves her Dada. She knows her Dada is hugging her."
"Aye, I am hugging my two loves."
"Pretty soon, she will be kicking away just like her big sister was in my belly."
Killian smiles."Aye, I cannot wait to feel her move and kick around."
"Same here." She smooths his hair. "Your hair is so soft."
"Thank you,swan. Does Leia moving around you hurt?"
"No. Not at all because it feels like a little fish moving around. She moves around when her dada is near her."
Killian smiles big. "I love being around my littlest love. I love my swan so much." They kiss.
"Today we are going to the aquarium?
"Yes, we are swan. Tomorrow, Henry and I scheduled rock climbing."
"I know you two are going to have fun. While Hope and I go to the Children's museum."
"Swan, are you hungry?"
"Yes, when I am not hungry."
"I will get your breakfast."
"Get yours too." They kiss. Killian goes to the main lobby of the hotel to where they are serving breakfast.
Hope wakes up and goes to her parents' bed. "Mommy!"
"Hi, baby girl."
"Dada."
"He will be right back." She hugs her daughter. "Are you excited for the aquarium?"
"Yes, aquariwum see Pepper!" She hugs her Mommy. "Stay with you."
"Yes,sweetie. You are coming with me."
Henry wakes up hearing his Mom and sister talking. "Hope, are you excited to see Pepper?"
"Sealion!"
"Do you think Pepper will remember you?"
"Yes, he's my fwiend."
"He will remember you, Hope."
"He will, bro."
Killian returns to the room. "I smell food."
"Yes, I got your breakfast." Killian chuckles.
"I am more hungry now. Leia needs food."
"Aye, that is why my two loves need to eat." They kiss.
After breakfast, the family got ready for the day. Emma gets dressed in a gray shirt with her red leather jacket and her maternity jeans. She lays out Hope's outfit, a dress or shirt and jeans. "Hope, time to get dressed." Hope goes to her Mommy. "Which outfit do you want to wear?"
"Aweil dress. Wed jacket"
"Good choice." Hope dresses herself. "Good job, baby girl.
"Can you bwaid my hair? Pwease."
"I can braid your hair, Hope." Hope sits on the bed. She braids Hope's hair.
"Mom, are you excited for the aquarium?"
"Yes, I am."
"Pepper!"
"Yes, we are going to see Pepper."
"Pepper my sealion fweind, Henwy."
"Yes, I know, little sis. He likes you." He tickles his sister.
"Swan, are you ready to go?"
"Yes, I am. Hope is ready too."
"Dada, see Pepper today!"
"Yes, we are little love." Killian holds Hope on his hip as the family went to their car. He puts Hope in her carseat.
"Killian, I am driving."
"You are?"
"Yes, I am captain." Emma drives her family to the aquarium.
Hope was kicking her legs in excitement. "Pepper...Pepper." Emma smiles her daughter was excited to see her sealion best friend. She parks the car in the aquarium parking lot. "Yay! We are here! Henwy Pepper house!! Henwy unbuckle me!" Emma and Killian both smile at their daughter's excitement. Henry unbuckles Hope. Everyone gets out of the car. Hope goes to her Mommy. "Mommy, pepper's house."
"Yes, we are going to Pepper, baby girl." She holds her hand as they go to the aquarium. Killian bought their tickets.
"Mommy Pepper!" Hope tugs her Mommy's hand.
"We have to wait for Daddy, baby girl."
Henry kneels to Hope. "Little sis." He holds his sister on his hip.
"Pepper."
"We are going to see your sealion friend."
Killian returns to his family. "I got the tickets."
"Perfect! Hope is very eager to see Pepper."
"Aye, I have a feeling Hope will play with Pepper."
"We are going to take a lot of pictures."
"Mommy, dad can we go to Pepper?"
Emma chuckles. "Yes, we can."
"Little sis, with the map we can follow it to Pepper's house."
"Dada, wead the map." Emma chuckles at her daughter's bossiness. Henry snickers.
"You heard Hope,Dad."
Killian smiles and faces Hope. "Hope, I need my little pirate to help me read the map."
Hope smiles. "Dada wead map, pwease." She gives him a pouty lip and hugs him.
"Aye, little love. I can read the map."
"Yay! Dada!" Emma and Killian smile at their daughter's excitement. Killian leads his family to the mammal's exhibit.
Emma and Henry were walking behind Killian and Hope."Mom, Hope really has her fingers around Dad's hook."
"I have a feeling Leia is going to have her hand around Dad's hook, too."
"Yes, I can see that. Your two sisters are going to have their hands around your Dad's hook."
Henry hugs his Mom. "You and Dad will be in trouble."
Emma laughs. "Yes, you are right. They are going to have you as their amazing big brother to play with and spoiling them."
"I love Hope. I love making her happy. I love Leia. I know I am going to make Leia all the time." Emma hugs her son.
"Henwy, Mommy, Pepper house!"
Henry goes to his sister. "We are by Pepper's house?"
"Yes!" They went into the marina section to see all of the other mammals, the penguins, manatees, sea otters, dolphins, and killer whales. "Ooh, big fish."
Killian smiles. "That is a killer whale, little love."
"Big whale, Dada."
"Yes, very big whale." Emma was taking pictures of Henry, Hope, and Killian looking at the killer whales while sitting down on the bench. She needed a rest from waddling and her feet were starting to get swollen. "Mommy! Big whale!"
"Little love, Mommy can see the whales from where she is sitting down."
"Pepper, Dada."
"Aye, Pepper home is next."
Hope goes to her Mommy. "Mommy, Pepper."
"We are going to Pepper."
"Mom, are you okay?"
"I am just tired. Your sister is getting bigger inside of me and it is hard to walk."
Hope held her Mommy's hand. "I help you."
Emma smiles as her daughter helps her up. "Thank you, Hopey."
"Little sis, we are going to Pepper's house." Henry takes Hope from their Mom and walks ahead.
Killian wrapped his arm around his wife. "Emma, are you okay?"
"Tired and my feet hurt. I hate waddling."
"How about after we see Pepper, we can go back to the hotel? You can rest while Henry and Hope swim in the pool."
"That is a great idea." She rubs her baby bump. "I am tired but Leia is getting bigger."
"Aye, she is getting bigger every day." He rubs her baby bump. "I have a feeling she likes the aquarium as the rest of our family."
"I have a feeling both our daughters' will love the aquarium just like their Daddy." They kiss.
They caught up with Henry and Hope at the sea lion exhibit who was looking at the sea lions. "Hey, Kid. Any luck of finding Pepper?"
"The workers just let the sea lions out. Pepper is coming out soon. Hope is waiting patiently for her friend."
"Mommy here, Henwy!"
Emma holds Hope on her hip. "You are going to see your sealion friend soon."
"Yes, I am!"
Henry has his camera ready. The workers let out more sea lions. They see Pepper. "Pepper!!" Pepper hears Hope's voice and heads towards her. He barks. "Mommy,Pepper!!" Hope hugs Pepper. "Hi, Pepper. I am back." Henry takes pictures of reuniting with her sealion friend as his parents smiling at Hope. "Swan, I can hold Hope." They switched places.
"Mommy, Pepper, here."
"Yes, he remembers you, baby girl."
"Dada, pepper." Pepper barks.
"Nice to see you again, Pepper." Pepper barks.
"Killian, he remembers you too." Pepper barks.
"Aye, he remembers you too, swan." Hope continues to pet and talks to her sealion friend. Emma smiles at her daughter who talk to animals just like her Mom. She rubs her baby bump, missing her Momvin her life but not wanting her children in danger. She loves being a Mom. Henry hugs his Mom. "Mom, I think Pepper remembers Hope and us."
"Yes, he does." She hugs him back.
"Pretty soon, Leia is going to come here with us. Pepper will be Leia's friend."
One of the workers came, to the family, a brunette woman with tan skin. "Pepper are you talking to a friend?" Pepper barks. Hope laughs.
"My fweind." Henry holds Hope.
"Little sis, what are you talking about with Pepper?"
"Not telling." Henry chuckles, enjoying his little sister happy.
"Our daughter Hope knows Pepper. They are close friends."
"Oh, the famous Hope?"
"Yes."
"I am Penelope. I heard so many times from my co-workers of how much Pepper loves Hope."
Killian smiles. "Aye, our daughter was very excited that we were coming to visit her friend."
"Hope can help us feed Pepper."
Emma smiles. "Hope is going to love that." Pepper licks Hope.
"Mommy, Pepper kiss me."
"He did?!"
"Yes!"
"Sweetie, Penelope said you can help her feed Pepper!"
"Yay!" Pepper barks. Emma and Killian smile. Penelope leads the family to where they fed the mammals on land. "Pepper, Mommy."
"Yes, we are going to go see Pepper up close." Hope sees Pepper.
"Pepper!!" Hope runs to her friend. "Hi!" Pepper barks and lies down. Hope sits on the floor and pets him. "Good sea lion." She kisses Hope on the head. Henry was taking pictures and petting the sealion.
Killian hugs his swan. Emma was smiling. "Killian, we are not taking the sealion home with us."
"Aye, there is no room or a size of a pool to fit in our house." Emma chuckles.
"Hope is happy."
"Aye, I had a feeling our anniversary trip will be fun. Tomorrow, you and Hope are going to the museum as Henry and I go rock climbing."
"The day after we are going to have a wonderful anniversary."
"Aye, I do have ideas." They kiss and continue to watch their daughter being happy with Pepper.
The next day, Killian was driving his family to the Children's Museum, while Emma and Hope were in the museum he and Henry were going rock climbing. "Swan,do you have everything?"
"Yes. Hope and I are going to have fun. Are you looking forward to rock climbing?"
"I am!!" Emma smiles at her son's excitement.
"Aye, this will be the first time, I will be rock climbing indoors."
"Dad, are you going to teach me?"
"Yes. I experienced climbing up and down mountains in Neverland. The last time, it was when I was rock climbing with Charming in Neverland. I can do indoors."
"Is that when you helped my Dad in Neverland?"
"Aye, yes. I didn't want you to lose your family. I just knew I can keep your family together. Emma began crying remembering how he cared for her then and now. "I would of it, again and again, love."
"Mommy cwying. Don't cwy."
"Mommy is okay, little love. She is just very emotional remembering of how I rescued her Daddy." He kisses his swan on her head."I will always be there for you,love."
"When you told me that you saved his life, I just knew you were the one for me...now we have our family."
"Aye, our family is growing." They both placed their hands on her baby bump. Killian arrives at the Children's Museum and parked the car so he can hug his swan. "I am always going to be there for you, Emma and our family."
"My hormones."
"I know. Leia is making you moody."
"Yes."
"Little sis, you better get used to this because Mom and Dad are going to be talking and hugging more than usual."
"Good, Henwy. Dada there for Mommy." Henry smiles knowing his sister is right.
Emma stops crying. "Are you feeling better?"
"Yes." She hugs him. "I love you so much."
"I love you so much." They kiss.
"Eww!" Hope closed her eyes. Emma and Killian both laughed. Henry unbuckles his sister out of the car as Emma helped his swan out oc the car.
Emma, are you sure you are going to be okay with Hope here?"
Emma smile as she held her husband's hook worrying over her and their daughter on the way. "I am going to be okay here with Hope. There are a lot of places for me to sit inside while Hope plays. Now, you and Henry need to be careful rock climbing."
"Yes, I will make sure the lad won't get hurt."
"Mom, I know Dad and I are going to have fun."
"Aye, we are going to have our fun boy time." He ruffles Henry's hair.
"No, Dada, Henwy. Stay." She hugs her Daddy's legs.
"Little love, you are going to have fun with your Mommy."
Emma holds Hope on her hip. "Hope, we are going to play inside the museum. We are going to have Mommy and Hope time playing."
"Mommy and Hope time?"
Emma smiles. "Yes!"
"Yay!" Hope hugs her Mommy.
"Boys, we will see you later."
"Aye, have fun, love." They kiss.
"Bye, Dada. Bye Henwy."
"Bye, Hope."
Emma carried Hope inside and bought two tickets to enter. "We are here."
Hope sees a lot of fun places to go climbing and run on, "Ooh, fun!!"
"Hope, which place do you want to go to first?" Hope looked around and points at the net area. "Let's go there." Up close, it looks like to Emma that it was magic carpet rides s for children to walk onto different levels. Children were walking around on it. "Mommy?"
"Yes?"
"Is it safe?"
"Yes, and it looks like so much fun."
"Come."
"I cannot go in with you because Leia is in growing inside of my tummy. I am going to watch you from here and take pictures. Okay?"
Hope hugs her Mommy. "Yes."
"I will be right here when you come back down." Hope goes inside the nets and climbs inside onto the net climbing onto the Aladdin rug wooden rugs. Emma was smiling as she took pictures on her iPhone, her daughter is becoming more independent. She cannot wait to bring both of her daughters to the museum in the future. "Mommy!!" Hope waves at her Mommy.
She waves at her daughter. "You are far up Hope!"
Hope continues to walk around and went up higher. When she returns back down, "Mommy I was so high up!"
"Yes, you were so high up! Where do you want to go next? There is a bubble room. We can blow big bubbles."
"Yes bubbles!" Hope holds her Mommy's hand. They walked into another room. Emma gives Hope a red smock to wear and shows her how to get a giant bubble wand from the table full of bubbles. Hope blows the bubble. "Whoa!"
Emma smiles. "That is a big bubble!!"
"Very big bubble, Mommy!"
Kilian drives Henry to the nearest rock climbing location. "Son, are you ready to climb?"
"Yes!" They entered the building. Killian signed them up. Henry helped fill out forms. They got harnesses. Killian made sure Henry's harness was on tight enough. "It is tight, Dad."
"Aye, I want to make sure. Let's go rock climbing." They went into the room seeing huge rock climbing walls.
"This is awesome." He went to one of the walls."Can we start here?"
"Yes, lad." He puts the rope through his son's harness. "Son, just let me know when I can pull you down."
"Okay,Dad." Henry begins rock climbing. Kilian helpsHenry when he was trouble finding the right fake rock to get next. When Henry was finished, it was Killian's turn.
After a potty break, Emma and Hope went to another play area to play in the kitchen set. "Kitchen."
Emma sits down and watched Hope play in the kitchen area."Hope, do you think we need a blogger kitchen area at home?"
"Yes!" Hope went to her Mommy and touched her baby bump. Emma smiles. "Want to play with Leia."
"You will play with Leia when she is born. She is not growing inside of my tummy. For now, you have me to play with you." She hugs her daughter.
"Pway, Mommy."
"Where do you want to play next?"
"Not sure."
"Let's go find somewhere else to play." The mother and daughter walked hand in hand until they found a toddler size zipline "Hope, this is ziplining. You sit on the sit and the ropes pull you to the other side of the room.
"Wow!" Hope goes to the closest zip line seat. Emma helped her daughter sits on the seat and pushes her down the rope across the room. "Whee!!!" Emma took a video on her iPhone of Hope's first zipline.
Back at the rock climbing place, Killian was smiling at his son who was doing better on his second climb than the first. "You are doing great,lad!"
"Thanks, Dad!" In between rock climbs, Killian told his son about how he rock climbed in Neverland and how rock climbing on beanstalk was different.
After a few hours of rock climbing Killian and Henry got milkshakes and burgers, Killian gets a phone call from Emma. "Hi, Swan. How is your girls' day with Hope?"
"It is very very fun. Hope played a lot in the Children's Museum and tried new things today. We are at Murray's cheese factory getting lunch. Do you and Henry want something?"
"Aye, Henry and I are having lunch burgers and milkshakes."
"Hope and I are having grilled cheese. I am having a milkshake."
"Me too, Mommy."
"We are sharing a milkshake."
"Aye, you are having a good mommy and Hope time?"
"Yes, how is your boy time with Henry?"
"Fun. After we finish eating our lunch, we can pick you two up?"
"Sounds like a good plan. See you both soon." She sees Hope drinking her milkshake. "Hope!" She gives her daughter a sneaky look. Hope laughs. "You can have some, my little duckling." She sips some and gives it back to her Mommy. "Yummy?"
"Yes, chocolate."
"Chocolate is the best."
"Fun Mommy and Hope time."
"I had so much fun with you too!" She takes a picture of Hope, her mini-me.
The next morning was Killian and Emma's anniversary. Killian slipped out of bed and went to Emma's baby bump. "Hi, Leia. This is your Daddy. Today is Mommy and Daddy's 4th year wedding anniversary. That means Mommy and Daddy got married to become husband and wife on this day 4 years ago. A year later, we had your big sister Hope. Now, you are growing inside of your Mommy making us a family of five. Leia, you are going to be celebrating with us next year. Dada loves you so much, little love." He kisses his wife's baby bump.
Emma wakes up, hearing her husband talking to Leia. "Hey."
"Good morning, love. It is still early."
"I heard you talking."
"Aye, I was. " He rubs his swan's head. "I was talking to Leia."
"I am not mad." She yawns.
"Go back to sleep, love. I will be right back."
"Okay. First." They kiss. "Happy anniversary, Killian!"
"Happy anniversary, Emma!" He hugs his wife.
"We have been married for 4 years now."
"Aye, 4 wonderful years. Next year, we will be a family of 5."
"I am going to be slow and swollen on this anniversary."
"You are beautiful, love. I know we are going to have an amazing anniversary." He rubs her baby bump. "Leia is going to hear all the fun we are going to have today."
"Yes, she will." Emma smiles. "I just cannot believe that I am pregnant on our anniversary with our second daughter."
"Aye, I have a feeling that Leia is going to be a lot like her Mommy."
"I think she will be more like her Dada." They both laid their hands on her baby bump.
"Leia is growing."
"I am happy to be pregnant with our third child on our 4th wedding anniversary." Killian wrapped his arms around his swan. "I love you, Killian."
"I love you, Emma." They kiss. "I will be right back." He leaves the hotel room.
Emma was hugging Hope. "Pretty soon, I will be having two girls to hug." She waddles over to Henry and lay down next to him. "My baby boy." She kisses him on the head. "You are getting so big."
Killian went for a walk to the flower shop. He already has his gift for his swan in his luggage. When he arrived back, Henry was awake with Emma sleeping on their bed. "How can I help?"
Killian smiles. "I will tell you the plan." He tells his son the plan and worked on the surprise for Emma.
Hope wakes up. "Dada."
"Good morning, little love." He holds Hope on his hip. "Henry and I are making a surprise for Mommy. Do you want to help?"
"Yes!" Killian went to the breakfast area and got Emma a little bit of everything. Henry laid rose petals on the floor, letting Hope help him. Killian sets up presents. Killian lies in bed, kisses Emma from her hip up to her cheek until she woke up. Emma smiles waking up and turns around smiling at her husband. "Happy anniversary, Emma."
"Happy anniversary, Killian." They kiss. Henry gives Hope gifts to carry to their parents.
"Happy anniversary, Mom and Dad."
"Happy versary Mommy and dada!"
"Thank you, Henry and Hope."
"Swan, I have your gifts."
"I have your first gifts too." Emma gets her gifts for Killian. They opened their gifts for each other at the same time.
Emma got a new white floral dress. "Killian...I love it."
"Aye, I have a feeling you need a new dress for our date night."
Emma smiles. "I am going to wear it today."
Killian opens his gift which was a hoodie with dark gray Jolly Roger on it, Captain of Jolly Roger. He smiles. "Emma, I love it."
"I figured you need a hoodie to wear."
"I love it, especially because my swan made it for me." They kiss.
Emma opens her next gift which is a new gold necklace, the shape of a heart Swan. She began crying "Killian, I love it!"
"I will put it around your neck." She held her hair as Killian puts the necklace on her neck.
"Thank you, captain." She lies into him.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes, just a little tired."
Henry gives Hope their gift to their parents. "Mom, Dad, this is from Hope and me."
Kilian helped his wife sitting up and they opened their present, which was a painting of the two of them on the Jolly Roger. "Lad, it's beautiful." He hugs his son. "You are very talented."
"Thank you, Dad."
"It's so beautiful." She hugs her children. "Thank you, Henry and Hope."
"You are welcome, Mom."
"Little love, did you help Henry with the artwork?"
"Yes! Art fun with bro."
"You did a great job, Hope." He hugs his daughter.
"Painted Mommy."
"You painted Mommy in the painting?"
"Yes!"
"Good job."
"Hope, you did such a good job." She kisses Hope's cheek. Hope hugs her Mommy.
Killian holds their painting. "Swan, I know where to put this painting in our room at home."
Emma hugs Killian. "I have an idea for our anniversary today, love."
"As long as I do not walk too far, I am in."
"Aye, I have an idea of a place we can go where you do not have to worry about walking..."
"Is it somewhere nearby the water?"
"Aye, maybe? Let's just say we are going to be nearby water."
The family ate breakfast and got ready for the day. Emma dressed in the dress that Killian got for her and helped Hope get ready for her day, her outfit was a Pluto dress. Killian was driving his family through the city. "Little sis, this the place where I found Mommy."
"Mommy lived here?"
Emma smiles. "Yes, I did live here. When Henry found me, he took me home to Maine."
"Boston!"
Killian found a spot. "This is where we are going."
Henry helps Hope out of the car. Emma sees a park. Killian helped her out of the car. "We are at a park?"
"Yes, we are at Boston Public Park."
"I have been here before."
"Aye, you have?"
"Yes. I used to come around to the pond around here to think when I needed a break from work." She smiles. "I am back here with my family."
"Every lake is always your to-go spot."
Emma smiles. "Or the ocean with you."She smiles knowing her husband has something up his sleeve.
"Follow me, love." Emma holds his hook. "This park was found in 1837."
Henry smiles. "Whoa, this park has been open for over 150 years."
"Aye, yes." Hope walks ahead.
"Hope, stay with us, baby girl. Daddy is taking us somewhere."
"Dada. Up, pwease." Killian held Hope on his hip and held his swan's hand. They looked at statues of soldiers on horses from the 1700s, and open grass. They went onto the bridge seeing trees and lake.
"It is a beautiful view."
"Aye, it is."
Emma smiles seeing swan boats. "Killian Jones, are we going on a boat ride?"
"Yes, swan. A swan boat ride for all four of us."
"Awesome, it is just like Mom's story in a boat version."
"Pretty, cool kid?"
"It is awesome, Mom!" Emma smiles at her son's excitement. "It is like your story come to life out of Storybrooke." Henry hugs his Mom. "Leia, where I found our Mommy, there is a park very similar to Mommy's The Ugly Duckling outside Storybrooke. Boston is where I found our Mommy." He looks up at his Mom. "Leia is going to know where she comes from."
"Yes, she will because she is going to have her big brother telling her where her parents comes from. You are the storyteller of the family."
"I am her big brother. It is my job to tell Leia where she comes from and our parents stories."
"She is going to know them all from you, Henry." She hugs her son.
"We are going to bring her to Boston right?"
"Of course! Especially when we visit her big brother in college."
"I am happy that I am going to the new school program."
"Your Dad, sisters and I are going to have many excuses to visit you in Boston. More road trips."
"More like the opposite, when Leia comes, I am going to be coming home to be her big brother. I just want her to know me like Hope does."
"You are going to be Leia's life, Henry. You are her big brother. She is going to know you." She hugs her son.
Hope points at the swan boats. "Swan boat, Dada."
"Yes, little love. We are going to ride on a swan boat today."
"Mommy stowy."
"Yes, Hope, just like Mommy's story in a beautiful park."
"Yay!" The family walked to where the boats were located. They saw a sign, Swan Boats established 1877.
"Mom, Dad, this swan boat place has been here almost as long as the park."
"It is really cool, kid." She hugs her son. "Did you have anything to do with this?"
"This was all Dad's idea." Emma smiles. Killian paid for their tickets and lead his family to the long wide boat full of benches for people to sit in, one swan in the back and one in the front. "Hope, you can help me choose where to sit, little sis." Hope points at the bench in the front. "Good choice. Dad, the very front?"
"How about the third row?"
"Okay." Henry helped his sister on board as Killian helped Emma aboard. Henry and Hope saved a spot for their parents. "Mom, over here."
Emma smiles. "Thank you for saving us a spot,kid."
"Dada,swim?"
"No, little love. We are going for a boat ride."
"We are not swimming in this lake, sweetie The water is not right for swimming. You can swim later in the pool in our hotel later."
"Okay, swim in pool." Once, everyone was on the boat, one of the workers pushed the boat as one the other worker in the back of the swan peddled the boat. "Boat is moving!"
"Yes, we are little love." Killian wrapped his arm around his swan who was hugging him. Emma was smiling she was enjoying the quiet boat ride seeing many trees, grass, people walking around the park, or sitting on benches talking to one another, and the bridge they went on earlier.
"Killian, this is perfect, something we can enjoy together."
"Aye, I had a feeling you will love it."
"Is it because my nickname is swan?"
Killian chuckles. "I had a feeling this would be part of your book character but in Boston."
"I never came here before. I always was working. I never had a chance to enjoy the scenery where I was living in or the historical landmarks. Now I get to enjoy them with you, Henry and Hope." Leia moves. Emma chuckles. "And Leia. She knows that we are near water."
Killian places his hand on her baby bump. "Leia takes after me already knowing that we are on the water."
A group of ducks was passing by the swan boat. "Ducks! Mommy ducks!"
"I see the ducks, baby girl."
"Mommy duck and baby ducks. Our stowy Mommy."
Emma hugs her daughter. "That is right, just like the ducks in our story. And we are on a swan boat. Your Daddy brought us to a good place."
"For versary."
"Yes, for Mommy and Daddy's wedding anniversary."
"Our stowy, pwease, Mommy."
Emma hugs Hope and smiles. "Once upon a time, there was a Mommy duck and a Daddy duck..." They continue the boat ride. Hope would tell them every time they were passing a duck, which Emma and Killian love being with each other on a nice boat ride with their children. Henry was taking pictures of what they were seeing and of his family on the ride. After the boat ride, he took pictures of his parents by the swan and a few photos of them hugging his Mom's baby bump. Hope and Henry joined them for pictures. They walked around the park. Emma found a bathroom for Hope's potty break. Killian drove his family to see famous sites as Paul Revere's house, and the Boston Tea Party ships. "Jolly Wawa. Dada."
"Hope, that is the Boston Tea Party ships."
"No."
"Yes, little love. Jolly Roger is back at home."
Killian smiles at his daughter. "Dada was not in the Boston Revolution."
Emma smiles. "Hope, they do look like Daddy's ship but they are very different. These boats do not travel to different realms like the Jolly Roger does, sweetheart."
"Little sis, the Jolly Roger is the fastest ship in all the realms."
"Olly Woger is the best ship."
"Aye, yes, little pirate." He holds Hope. "Swan, are you hungry?"
"Yes, I am."
"I know a place where we can go." He drove his family to a seafood restaurant, Atlantic Fish co. Emma was able to order the crabs on the menu since it was the only seafood she can eat. Killian ordered lobster with corn on the cob on the cob for himself, Henry, and Hope. When the good came, Killian helped Hope crack her lobsters as Emma made sure there were no shells leftover for Hope to not eat. "Mommy, no lobster?"
"I can only have crabs because Leia cannot have lobster in my tummy."
"Swan, I also have mackerel for you. I read in the baby book, you can eat mackerel."
"I will eat my crab. Thanks for the offer."
Henry was pointing at the lobster claw trying to tickle Hope. "Henwy, stop."
"Lad, eat your lobster not playing with it."
"Yes, Dad."
After the family ate their seafood, Emma suddenly felt sick in the parking lot. "Killian...I do not feel well." Killian held onto his wife. She stops walking and pukes.
"Let's get you out of the way, love." He guided her out of the way from cars and lead her to their car. She pukes again. Emma hated to get sick in a parking lot of all places. Hope hugs her mommy. "Hope, not now!" She shrugged her daughter off making her cry.
Henry takes Hope inside their car. "Mommy mad at me."
"No she is not mad at you. Mommy is not feeling well. The food did not sit well with our baby sis in her tummy. Mommy is sick. Daddy is helping her feel better." He hugs his sister. "Everything is okay, little sis."
"Man, Leia does not like crab." She vomits more. Killian gives her a bottle of water when she was finished. "Thank you." She sighs and leans her head against his shoulder. "Our baby did not like seafood."
Killian hugs her. "I am sorry for choosing a seafood restaurant."
"I enjoyed the seafood, Leia did not."
"Whenever you are feeling better, we will leave. Our little Leia will like seafood when she is not inside of your tummy."
"Yes. For now, no seafood for her while she is growing inside of me." They rub her baby bump.
"I just want to lie down and relax."
Killian gets an idea where he can take his swan."How about we go for a little drive?" He gives his swan a look.
Emma smiles knowing her Killian has something up his sleeve. "Where to Captain?"
"It is a surprise."
"Okay." He helped Emma into the car. She sees Hope crying. "Hope..."
"Mommy mad..."
"No..I am not mad at you, sweetie."
"Yes,I did bad."
"Hope, Hopey. You did nothing bad. I am not mad at you, baby girl. I wasn't mad at you. I was mad at myself. I got mad because I got sick in the parking lot of all places. When Mommy has a baby in her tummy she has no control over how she feels or what she eats. Sometimes the baby tells me to feel sad when I do not want to be sad. Or the baby does not like crab, the baby tells me to get it out of my body."
"Baby sis told you not eat crab."
"Yes, Leia does not like crab. I'm sorry for getting mad at you when I got sick, baby girl."
"You are not mad at me?"
"No, I am not. I feel bad for getting mad at you." Hope hugs her Mommy. "I love you so much, Hope."
"Luv you, Mommy."
"I have a feeling Dada is going to take us to a fun place next."
"Fun stop!" Emma puts her daughter back in her car seat and sat next to her. Hope held her Mommy's hand. "Mommy."
"Hopey." She kisses Hope on the head.
Killian drove his family to his destination."Mom, are you feeling better?"
"Yes, I cannot eat crab for the rest of my pregnancy. I do not want to get sick again."
"Especially not getting sick again in a parking lot." Emma and Henry both laugh.
"Have you heard from Ava?"
"Yes, we have been texting a lot. When we get back home, I am going to see my girl." Emma smiles seeing her son happy and in love with his girlfriend.
"Henwy luvs Ava."
"Hope!" He tickles his sister making her laugh. "You love teasing me."
"Kid, I told you she will be teasing you in the future."
Henry smiles."You are right but she is so cute even when she teases me."
"Henwy." Hope laughs.
They went for a stop, to an ice cream parlor. Killian and henry got themselves and Emma and Hope ice cream. "This is so much better than crab."
"Baby sis, like ice cweam, it is good."
Emma and Killian both smile. "You tell Leia, little sis."
"I did. Not want Mommy sick again."
"Your sister likes ice cream, Hope." She rubs Hope's head. "The ice cream is really good Killian."
"Aye, I had a feeling we all needed a sweet treat."
"I got ou into sweets."
"Yes, you did." They kiss.
"Eww!" Hope covered her eyes.
Killian used a GPS to help guide him to the nearest beach. He enjoyed hearing his family talking as he was driving. He arrived at the destination and parks the car. "Emma, we are here."
Emma sees a beach. "We are at a beach?"
"Yes, we are,love."
She unbuckles Hope. "Beach! Yay!" She lets Hope out of the car first. Killian helped her out of the car as Henry gets a bed sheet and a few pillows from the trunk. "We are at the beach?"
"Swan, you did tell me you wanted to relax. I figured we would end our anniversary day at the beach."
"I got the pillows and blankets."
"Thank you, son."
Emma smiles seeing Killian's plan."You really planned out our anniversary."
"Yes, I did, love." He walked with his swan to the boardwalk and onto the empty beach. Hope was walking ahead with Henry. They chose a post close to the water. Killian lays the bedsheet down as Emma laid the pillows. Hope was taking her clothes off. Emma sees Hope."Whoa.. whoa, Hope!" She stops her daughter from stripping. "You do not have a bathing suit. You cannot get naked."
"But Mommy....ocean." She points at the ocean.
"Yes, we are at the ocean but we cannot be naked, sweetie. We do not have bathing suits." She helps Hope put her clothes back on. "You can walk on the sand without shoes and socks."
"Get wet still?"
"Little love, we cannot get too wet but you can put your feet in the water."
"Lucky I have dwess on." Emma and Killian chuckle.
"Keep your dress on in the ocean, Hope. We are not going swimming because there are no lifeguards and we don't have bathing suits on. We are going to get wet by the wet sand. Okay?"
"Yes, Mommy." Hope holds her hand. "Come ocean."
"Let me take my shoes off first." She slips off her flats and walked with Hope to the ocean. They stood where the waves were crashing."Cold water, Hope."
"Waves!" Hope jumped up and down. "Wet! Splash!!" Hope giggles.
"Leia, we are standing on the beach at the ocean baby girl. Pretty soon, you will be playing and jumping at the waves with your big sister, Hope very soon." Henry took pictures of his Mom and sister enjoying the ocean. "The ocean water feels so good right Hope?"
"Yes!! Dada!"
"Killian, Henry join us."
Killian goes to his swan. "Are you having fun?"
"Yes, I am."
"Me too, Dada!!"
Killian kneels to Hope smiling. "Are you having fun?!"
"Yes, I am dada!" She jumps up and lands when the waves come. "Wet!!" She splashed her Daddy. Killian smiles, his daughter who was a mini pirate loves the ocean just like him. "Wave, dada! Jump!"
"Like this?" Killian jumps high and splashes his wife and daughter. Emma laughs.
Hope laughs. "Yes, Dada!!" Henry takes pictures of his Dad and sister jumping.
Emma stands next to her son. "Kid, pretty soon, Dad Hope and Leia will be jumping in the ocean too."
"Yes, I can see all three of them in the ocean. Luckily, I brought towels." She smiles at her husband and daughter having fun.
Killian stops Hope from going into the ocean. "Hope, no. We are not swimming in the ocean today."
"Why not Dada?"
"What did Mommy say? The rules?"
"No lifeguards and no bathing suits."
"Aye, it is not safe to swim in an ocean without lifeguards."
"Not at home."
"Aye, you are right. But here in Boston, we need to have lifeguards. We can still have fun getting wet here." He sits down on the wet sand and Hope copied him.
The waves come at them and they got wet. "Yay!!" Killian was holding Hope as they waves were coming at them so she won't get pulled in.
Emma sees what they are doing. "Oh, man, the car is going to get sand and wet. I have three children."
Henry chuckles. "Four."
Emma laughs. "Luckily, Hope has extra clothes packed in my bag."
"Dad has to dry off."
"Yes, before he enters our car." Henry takes pictures of his Dad and sister getting soaked. Emma sits on the pillows. She rubs her baby bump, "Leia, are you going to be like your Daddy and big sister, get wet in the ocean no matter what? Yes, I think so too." Killian and Hope were both soaking wet.
"Water Dada!"
Killian smiles big. "Aye, we are very very wet, little love." He looks at his swan not wanting to leave her alone. "Little love, we need to dry up."
"No."
"Yes, Hope. We cannot get the car too wet."
"Little sis, we can walk on the beach and look for seashells."
"Okay."
Henry wrapped his sister around his sister and they went walking along the shore. Killian returns to his swan soaking wet to her smiling at him and gave him a towel. "Killian Swan-Jones, what am I going to do with you?"
He sits next to his wife. "I am just being myself."
"You and Hope were being your private selves. I know Leia is going to be just like you and Hope."
"Aye, a pirate just like her Dada." He leans to his wife's baby bump. "Leia, you are going to be a little pirate just like your Dada." He kisses her baby bump. "You hear that little love? That is the sound of the ocean. You are going to be living nearby the ocean, our house is so close by the ocean. The Jolly Roger is our second home which is on the ocean. Our whole family loves the ocean. You are going to be a little pirate princess just like your Mommy and big sister." He kisses her baby bump. "Dada loves you so much."
Emma smiles at her husband talking to their daughter. "Killian?"
"Yes, swan?"
"I need a hug from my soaking wet pirate." Killian hugs his swan and kisses her on the cheek. Emma laughs. Killian smile hearing his swan laugh. She lies on Killian as they listen to the waves crashing onto the shore. "We need to do this more often."
"Aye, I could not agree with you more, Emma. We need to lie down at the beach more often. Do you want to do this on Mother's day?"
"Since we are going to be home on Mother's Day, we are going to see Leia on the sonogram and maybe a day at the beach or on the Jolly Roger can be our day, relaxing." She rubs her baby bump. "For now, I am enjoying our wedding anniversary on the beach with my husband."
"I am enjoying my anniversary with my beautiful wife." They kiss.
Emma stops kissing him and smiles big. Killian gives his swan a look. "What is, Emma?"
"Leia agrees with you." She places his hand onto her baby bump where their daughter was kicking. "She is kicking for the first time."
Killian leans his cheek against her baby bumping feeling his daughter kick. "Leia, you agree with Mommy that we are enjoying the beach today. Yes, you agree. You are a little pirate."
Emma smiles and crying her baby girl as kicking inside of her and love hearing her husband talking to their daughter in a baby voice. Henry and Hope return with seashells."Hope, Henry, Dad is feeling Leia's first kick!"
"Awesome!"
Hope goes to her Mommy. "Want feel Leia kick."
"When Leia kicks again, you will feel her kick." Hope dropped her shells and began crying. "Aw, Hope." Emma hugs Hope. "Baby girl,don't cry.
"Want feel baby sis kick."
"Leia is going to kick a lot more when she is going to get bigger in my tummy. You and Henry will feel her kick soon." She rubs Hope's back.
"Little sis, I did not feel you kick for the first time. How about I can tell you but when I felt you kick for the first time, it was awesome. Also, Mommy told me your name that same night too."
"Weally?"
"Yes. I know we are going to feel Leia kick soon."
Hope was still sad and hugs her Mommy. "Sweetie, would you feel better if Henry read to you Mommy and Daddy's wedding story?"
"Yes! Wedding stowy!!"
"I have my book with me." Emma gets Hope changed into dry clothes as Henry gets his book out from his backpack. She lets Hope sit on her lap. "Did you have fun in the ocean with Dada?"
"Yes!!!" Emma and Killian both chuckle.
"Killian, I have a feeling Hope will be wanting to go to the ocean every day once we return home."
'Aye, I am not surprised. Hope can swim with you or me in the ocean but with a bathing suit."
"Yes. You need a bathing suit."
"Aye, I do need a bathing suit next time."
"Yes, my pirate." They kiss.
"Henwy, wead?"
"Yes, little sis. I have my book."
"You are prepared kid."
"I had a feeling I was going to read it today."
"We do have time now for a story because your Dad needs to dry off still."
"Yes, swan."
"Sit next Henwy."
"You can sit next to me, little sis." Hope sits next to her brother.
"Swan, do you want to take a walk?"
"Yes. I do need to stretch my legs." He helps his swan stand up.
Henry began reading. "Once upon a time, the princess and pirate..."
Emma and Killian walked along the shore. "This is one of the best days ever with my husband."
"Oh really?"
Killian hugs his wife. "Yes."
"I love you ever since I laid my eyes on you." He rubs her baby bump. "This anniversary is special because we are expanding our family and our little Leia kicked for the first time."
Emma smiles. "I wouldn't have our family without you."
"Aye,I would not have a family without meeting you." They hug.
"We still have our happy beginning. We are going to be parents to three children soon. Our little Leia is going to be so spoiled full of love, care, happy, home and family that will always love her."
"Aye, we are going to give her everything love. I am still in love with you ever since we first met."
"You mean how I found you in a pile of zombies?"
Killian chuckles. "Yes, after that we had our first adventure together."
"Yes, the beanstalk of our first of our many adventures together."
"Aye, now our happy beginning is continuing the next chapter..."
Emma wrapped her arms around his neck. "Tomorrow is uncertain, who knows what it will bring..." Emma smiles at her husband.
Killian smiles knows his wife singing their wedding song. "But one thing is for sure, love, with you I have everything."
He spun her around. "And happily ever after, is the way these stories go,
Used to think that's what I wanted, but now I finally know, There's no storm we can't outrun,
We will always find the sun,
Leave the past and all it's scars, A happy beginning now is ours,
There's no storm we can't out run.We will always find the sun, Leave the past and all its scars, A happy beginning now is ours, When we face the endless night, Take my hand and join the fight, past the clouds,We'll find the stars, When we face the endless night, Take my hand and join the fight, past the clouds, We'll find the stars A happy beginning now is ours. A happy beginning now is ours, A happy beginning now is ours..." They were out of breath and looking at each other as the sunsetting. They kiss.
Henry and Hope see their parents kissing. "Happy beginning."
"Yes, happy beginning, Mommy and Dada."
Killian lifted his swan up. "Happy anniversary, Emma."
"Happy anniversary, Killian. I love you so much."
"I love you and I will always love you, Emma Swan-Jones."
"I will always love you, Killian Swan-Jones."They continue to kiss as the waves were crashing against their legs.
