Emma's morning sickness was better than yesterday, she was vomiting as much. Luckily, the morning sickness stopped before her appointment. Killian drove Emma's bug to the hospital. As they were waiting in the waiting area,  "Are you okay, you seem a bit fidgety?"
"I am just excited and a little nervous that is all."
Killian smiled and rubbed her leg."I am excited to love. They will call you in soon."
"Emma Jones."
"Coming."
After Emma dressed into a gown, Killian returned to the room.
Dr.Claire entered the room.
"Hello Emma, I am Dr.Claire."
"Hello. It is nice to meet you."
"So is this your first pregnancy?"
Killian held her hand. "No, it is not. I had my first child in prison when I was seventeen. Now I am expecting with my husband."
"Okay, I am going to check how far along are you. Please lie down and put your legs up in the stirrups."
Emma did as instructed. As Dr.Claire did her exam, Killian held Emma's hand, "Swan is she supposed to do that?"
Emma laughed. "Yes, it is a part of her job, it is one of the ways to confirm a pregnancy. Don't let go, it is sort of uncomfortable."
"Sure love, anything for you."
After the examination, Dr.Claire, "Emma you are 6 weeks pregnant. Congratulations. Do you want to have an ultrasound?"
"Yes!"
Dr.Claire put cool jelly onto Emma's tummy and used the probe to search for the baby. "Here is your baby Emma."
Emma and Killian both saw their baby on the screen, Emma could not help but cry. Killian had tears in his eyes too, "Swan that is your little bean."
"Yes, Killian that is our baby."
Dr.Claire, " I will give you both a minute alone. Do you want pictures?"
Emma, "Yes, please. Thank you."
"Killian that is our baby."
"Yes, that is our little babe." He went to the sonogram screen and touched their little bean.
Dr.Claire returned into the room with copies of the sonogram. "Your due date is April 20th. Congratulations. Emma, you can book your next appointment upfront for next month."
"Thank you Dr.Claire."
Back in the yellow bug car, Emma giddily "I am so excited. I want to tell Henry today!"
Killian, "Swan, Henry will be thrilled."
While Killian drove them back to work, Emma made a phone call. "Hello, Regina."
"Hi, Emma. How are you?"
"I am feeling better. Can I have Henry over this evening?"
"You definitely sound very different from what Henry described yesterday, that you had a stomach bug."
"Yes, it was a 24-hour stomach bug."
"Henry can come over tonight. He was disappointed that you were sick. He really misses spending time with you."
"I know. I could tell the sad tone of his voice on the phone yesterday."
"I will drop him off at your place at 5:00 pm."
"That is great, Bye."
After work, Emma and Killian returned home. Emma, "I am just wondering how to tell Henry.."
Henry enters the Jones, house. "What about me?"
"Henry!" She gives him a big hug. "I am so sorry about this weekend."
"That is okay. It would not be fun around here when you are sick."
Killian, " Henry how did the science project go with Violet?"
"It is a slow process, but we are getting there."
"I am going to cook dinner."
Emma takes Henry to the living room. "Henry, I need to tell you something.. I did not have a stomach bug..."
Henry gets concerned, "Mom, what is it? Are you sick?"
Emma smiled. "Well, Henry...how would you like to become a big brother in the next 7 months?"
Henry smiled big"Mom, you are pregnant?!"
"Yes, I am pregnant Henry!" Henry hugs Emma.
"That is why you were extremely tired and sick."
"Yes, oh do not tell your grandparents yet. I have not told them yet. You are the first one to know."
"Okay. I will keep it a secret from them. I cannot believe that I will be a big brother! Can I tell my other mom?"
"I want to tell her tomorrow."
Henry leaves the room and Killian enters. "See, I told ya Henry will be thrilled."
"You were right captain. Now I have to figure out when to tell my parents."
"I think sooner the better. You are going to tell Regina?"
"Yes, she has the right to know because she is Henry's adopted mother and one of my close enough friends here ."
"Aye."
Killian cooked dinner. Some of the food smells made Emma ran to the bathroom to vomit. Killian went to help her, "Lad can you get me a wet rag. Your mom is having morning sickness."
"Here. Doesn't morning sickness happens in the morning? Yes but all pregnancies are different. Keep an eye on the cooking for me please." Killian rubbed Emma's back and held her hair up.
"Thanks. I feel like crap now."
"Rest in bed for a little bit. I will make you some toast. I will air out the food odor once I am done the cooking. I will let you know when you can come downstairs."
"Thank you again." She sighs and Killian hugs her, "The morning sickness will be gone soon."
"I know," she starts to tear up. "Now I do not even know why I am crying now. I am going to have a lot of mood swings."
"It is okay. Henry and I will be there for you, no matter if you are mad at us or crying." Killian hugs Emma.
After a while, Henry brought up her toast and ginger ale. "Hi, Mom here is your toast."
"Thank you. Sit down. I want to talk to you. Be honest. Are you sure you are okay me having a baby?"
"Mom, I know that you could not raise me because you were too young, my Dad left you in prison. You gave me my best chance. Now I am so happy that you have a second chance on having a family with a great husband who cares for you and for me. Killian is going to be a great dad."
"Henry, you are the best. I am not going to be myself for the next 7 months. Do not take it personally if I scream or cry around you."
"I know Mom do not worry. Killian and I will take care of you and the baby."
Emma hugs Henry. "Do you want a little brother or sister?"
" I want a sister, someone I can protect against bullies. This is my first biological sibling!"
"So you won't get jealous when the baby gets here?"
"Maybe a little, but I am mostly looking forward to having a baby sister or brother."
"Since you are very excited, Killian and I went to my first sonogram today to confirm the pregnancy. Emma shows him the sonogram picture.
Henry was speechless. "This is my little brother or sister?"
"Yes, it is. In a few months, we are going to find out the gender."
"Killian took aired out the lower floor of food smells. Can we watch Netflix?"
"Sure kid. What do you want to watch?"
"I was thinking Harry Potter."
As Emma and Henry were heading downstairs, "Sounds good. I don't think Harry Potter is on Netflix, we have the DVD's."
"I will set it up in the living room. Killian!"
"Yes, lad."

 "We are watching Harry Potter want to join us?"

 "What is Harry Potter?"

"We have to show you, Harry Potter! You are going to love it. There is also the book series too."
Emma sat in between of Killian and Henry on the couch, while the movie played. Emma fell asleep on Killian and Henry fell asleep on Emma, keeping his hand on her tummy. Killian was the only one was awake by the movie was over.
