Happy Beginning Captain Swan

Operation Lavender

After the gender reveals party, Killian and Henry began working on their secret project during the weekend. Emma had worked at the station on the weekends. Henry and Killian painted the baby's room walls yellow that Emma chose. "Lad, what do you think we can put on the walls?"
"I have a few ideas. We can do small murals on the wall of your love story. Like, the beanstalk where you and Mom had your first adventure. The second wall can be the Enchanted Forest with grandma and gramps castle. The third one can be the Jolly Roger. The fourth wall can be StoryBrooke town."
"Son, that is an amazing idea. Can you paint that?"
"Yes, I can."
"Aye, I can buy you the paint. You can do those murals tomorrow. Next Saturday, your Mom and the baby's surprise are coming next week."
"Can you please tell me what it is? I will keep it a secret. I already am keeping this secret from Mom."
"Sure, lad. It is mostly for the baby. It is a crib that I personally customized for the babe."
"What is the design?"
"Let's just say, it symbols your Mom and me."
"You are not going to tell me?"
"Nope. You will see it when it gets delivered next Saturday."
The next day, Henry painted all of the murals, while Killian kept Emma occupied.They were in the living room. Emma laid perfectly on Killian, they were looking at their sonogram of their baby girl.
"Who do you think she looks like?"
"Aye, think she has your nose?"
"Aww. You think so?"
"Aye. It is hard to tell since the picture is very grainy."
"Well, at my next appointment we can have a 4-D sonogram?"
"What is 4-D?"
"It is a very clear picture of the baby's features."
"How was work yesterday?"
"It was not too crazy but being 22 weeks pregnant makes me more tired and uncomfortable. She's moving a lot more."
"Aye. He reaches over to touch the baby bump." He gasps. "What..was that?"
Emma had a big smile on her face."Yes, Killian. You felt her move the very first time. Her first kick." She sits up so Killian can touch her belly easier.
Killian kisses her baby bump. "Hi little lass, can you kick again for Daddy?" He waited with his face touching Emma's hard baby bump, she moves again! "Daddy is so happy you are kicking me in the face."
Emma giggles. "She is a little pirate after all."
"Aye."
The following Saturday. Emma went to work. A few hours later, Marco and August delivered the crib. It took Killian, August and Marco bring the whole crib upstairs. "We can set the crib by the wall with the mural of the Enchanted Forest." Marco fixed the crib quickly.
August, "Who did the murals? Whoever painted these, are amazing."
Henry enters the room. "I painted them all by myself last weekend."
"Really. Very impressive. You the author and a great artist."
"Also, I will be a big brother soon. Thank you."
"Dad, you customized the crib with swans, pirate ships, and hooks. This looks amazing. Mom and the baby will love it."
"Aye lad. I know they will."
Emma arrives home exhausted from a long day at work, the house was quiet. "Killian, Henry, where are you guys?" She slowly went up the stairs so we can relax.
Killian met her at the top of the steps, "Swan." He hugs her. "Close your eyes, I have a surprise for you." Henry opened up the door. Killian leads Emma into the nursery, "You can open them now Swan."
Emma opened her eyes and was speechless. She put her hand on her mouth and cried happy tears. She looked at the four murals and the crib. "Killian the room...you did this?"
"Aye. Henry painted the murals all by himself last Sunday in one day. We both painted the walls last Saturday while you were at work."
Emma looked at all of the murals, "Henry, these are beyond amazing. How did you come up with them? They are in such great detail."
"I am glad you love them, Mom. I decided to create the murals to show my baby sister of her parents' true love story."
"Aww, Henry. You are an amazing author, artist, the heart of the truest believer and soon to be a great big brother." Emma hugs Henry.
"Love, do you the like crib?"
"Let me look at the crib." She looked at the crib and saw the details. "Killian, is it just I or I see swans, ships, and hooks in our baby's crib."
"Aye, yes. I customized the crib to represent us for our daughter. I personally designed this crib to show you that I am going to be there for you and our daughter no matter what. I am not going to leave you."
Emma was speechless again and hugged Killian. "Thank you for always being here for me whenever I need it and being the most caring and thoughtful person that I ever met. Our little girl is lucky to have you as her father." She kisses him on the lips. "Henry, come over here and join this hug." Henry comes and join. "Mom I am always going to be here for you too." "I know you are." They have a family of 3 and a half hug. "Thank you for you both for creating the baby's room. I know that she will love it. I love it already."
"Dad, Operation Lavender complete."
"Yes, son. Operation Lavender complete."
"This was a secret operation?"
"Yes, it was love."
"I have the best men in the world."
