"I can't do this. I really, really can't do this" Aurelia cried.

"Hey. Love, just look at me" Killian said, squeezing her hand. "You can do this. Just breathe. It's gonna be okay."

The lights around them went flashed on and off, sparking like they did when her powers first went haywire after talking to the Snow Queen.

Nurses scrambled around her, checking her vitals as Dr.Whale walked in.

"You know when I saw you a few weeks ago you were only 20 weeks pregnant," he said as Aurelia let out a painful groan.

"Well she's obviously more than that now!" Killian shouted, glaring at him.

"Lia! Oh my god," Emma said as he and Regina rushed in.

"What the hell happened?" Regina asked.

"I don't know," Killian said. "One minute she was fine and the next she was-"

"Ready to push out a baby" Whale said, looking at how dilated she was. "Yeah, it's definitely time."

"No. No, it's too early. I'm not ready" Aurelia said, panicking.

"I know it's sooner than we planned but Lia I'm right here, okay? You're not alone" Killian said.

"Snow woke up David and he's standing right outside," Regina said.

"We're all here for you," Emma said.

"Alright, Lia, you ready?" Whale asked as Aurelia nodded. "Because now I'm gonna need one big push."

"Look at her hair" David smiled as he held the baby, wrapping one of the long golden blonde strands around his finger.

"I guess she really did get my powers," Aurelia said, leaning her head on Killian's shoulder.

"You alright, love?" he asked, pulling the blanket further over her.

"Yeah. I'm happy" she said, squeezing his hand. "Really happy."

"So, does my cousin have a name?" Emma asked.

"We haven't really had a lot of time to think about it," Aurelia said, her brain scrambling to come up with something.

"I was actually thinking of one," Killian said as David carefully handed her over to him.

"Really? What is it?" Aurelia asked him.

"Cordelia. After my mother" he said.

Aurelia looked over and smiled, running a finger over her cheek. "Cordelia Jones. I like it."

"I should wake Snow. She'll want to meet her" David said.

"We'll give you three some privacy. We can bring Snow around when Whale lets you go home" Regina said before she, Emma, and David left.
