Happy Beginning Captain Swan

Baby Moon

The following week the baby's furniture that they bought was delivered to their house. All of the furniture came, such as the rocking chair, the changing table, and the diaper genie. The delivery men brought all of the furniture to the baby's room. Killian followed the directions and fixed the rocking chair first. He worked on the changing table second. Emma watches him at the bedroom's entrance. "Are you sure you do not want me to help to set it up?"
"Love, I got it. I do not want you to do the heavy work."
"Fine." She rubbed her baby bump and sits on the new rocking chair. "I was thinking. Since I am going to be on maternity relief very soon. I am wondering if you and I can go on a babymoon?"
"A babymoon? What is that Swan?"
"It is a small vacation for parents to be before the baby comes. I figured since I am going to off work from next week until the baby comes. We can take advantage of being away just the two of us before she comes."
"Aye, I do like the sound of that. Where do you think you want to go to?'
"I was thinking a nice hotel, with a pool, jacuzzi, and a spa."
"If I did not know, you were planning our little getaway already, Swan?"
Emma smiles, "Maybe? I am not sure where yet. I just want a little break from our small town. I figured you and I can cross over the town line, it would not be an issue."
"Where do you have in mind to travel to? After all, it is still winter, almost Spring."
"Maybe someplace warm. Like Florida?"
"How do we get to Florida is on the opposite side of the East Coast?
"We can fly on an airplane. I found out by asking my doctor that it is safe for me to fly on the airplane as long I am back before I am 36 weeks. I am 28 weeks next week. We can plan how long we can get away. We can enjoy being at the beach and relax with no worries of the town."
"That sounds lovely, Swan. I can imagine you looking great in a bikini."
Emma just laughs, "Yea, with me and my big baby bump."
"Emma, you look lovely in every size, especially you are carrying our baby girl."
Emma slowly got up from the rocking chair,"So, what do you think 5 days in sunny Florida? Just you and me?"
Killian stood up. "I think that is a great idea love. Just the two of us sounds lovely."
Emma squeals."I will go start planning. I will let you know about flying on an airplane, security, and everything. I am so excited."
Killian continued to work on the baby's furniture. Emma booked a hotel and flights in the next few weeks. Emma wanted a little get away from her small town, now that she is going to be a mommy from the start, she figured this time is going to be perfect for a few days at the beach with her husband.
"Killian, can we order in tonight?"
"Sure, love."
"I figured since you worked all day on the baby's furniture, you will be tired to cook."
"Love, we can order whatever you want."
"We can order in from Granny's."
"Sounds great." She called and placed an order. Killian picked up their dinner to go. Emma called Snow, "Hi, Mom."
"Hi, sweetie. How are you?"
"I am doing really good. Killian and I got our baby furniture today."
"What did you buy?"
"We got a rocking chair, changing table, and a diaper genie. I still want to get a fuzzy white rug for the baby's room floor. Oh, Killian and I are planning a little babymoon?"
"A babymoon? Where to?"
"I booked the airline tickets and the tickets, to Florida. I just want to go somewhere warm, and where I can relax by a beach before the baby comes."
"That sounds really nice. Is it safe to travel on an airplane, since you are almost 8 months pregnant?"
"I called my doctor and she told me that I am safe to fly as long I am under 36 weeks pregnant. Airlines do not allow women 36 weeks pregnant and over on flights."
"When are you going?"
"We are going next week for 5 days."
"Aw, that is nice Emma. Just make sure that Killian aware what happens in airport security."
"I know. I have to tell him in advance. The last time I went on a plane was when I was going to NYC with Henry and Rumple. Wow. It feels so long ago. Now it is better going on an airplane to go on a babymoon."
"It sounds like it is going to be fun."
"Do not worry Mom, Killian is going to make sure I and the baby are safe."
"I know he will."
Killian returns home with their dinner.
"I will talk to you later. Killian is home with dinner."
"Bye, honey."
"Bye, Mom."
"Thank you for picking up dinner."
"Your welcome love."
"When are we going on the babemoon?"
'Well, I got our airplane tickets for next Monday and we return next Saturday. Four days in the sun. How does that sound?"
"It sounds great Swan."
They ate and Emma explains about air travel and specifically him needing to put his hook in his luggage or they will take it away in security.
The next day, Emma shopped at the maternity store for covers to wear over her bikini and her big baby bump. "Love you do not need that."
"Oh yes, I do. You may like my body but I want to get a few covers when we walk around the beach and not showing my big baby bump everywhere." She also bought a few bikinis since her body drastically changed since last summer on their honeymoon.
A few days later, Emma and Killian packed their luggage. Killian brought both of their luggage to Charming's truck. Charming drove them to the airport. Emma had a backpack for carry-on bag. "Hi, Emma. Are you excited for your trip?"
"Yes, I am. I am looking forward to enjoying a few days in the sun with my husband, just the two of us before this little girl comes."
"Where did find out about babymoons?"
"I found out online, many couples are going on little vacations before their baby comes. Once I found out I began our trip."
"Oh, really Swan. When?"
"Uhm... maybe around the time, we found out that we were expecting."
"Oh really?"
"Really." They held hands while Charming drove them to the airport. When they arrived to the airport, Killian carefully helped Emma out of the truck. Charming got them their bags and gave them to Killian. "Killian, please take care of my daughter and my soon to be grandchild while you are away."
"Yes, Charming. I will make sure nothing bad happens to both of them."
"Have fun."
"Thanks, Charming."
Emma hugs her Dad."Thank you, Dad, for driving us to the airport."
"Your welcome sweetheart. Please be careful you already are 8 months pregnant."
"I am. I know Killian is going to take care of us both. It is safe for me to fly, I called my doctor before I booked the flight tickets."
He hugged and kissed her on the head. "Have fun just being the two of you while you can. Stay safe."
"Thank you, Dad. We will."
They enter the airport and put their luggage and registered their bags. When they were heading into security, "Now, Killian remember. They are going to search our stuff. We need to take our shoes off and good thing your hook is in your luggage bag. They also will scan our bodies to make sure that we do not have any weapons." Since Emma was 8 months pregnant, they both able to skip the long security line. Killian followed their directions and went to the full body machine. Emma was pat down and skipped the line. Killian had to help her to put her shoes on afterward. As they waited for their flight, she got a phone call from Henry. "Hi, kid."
"Hi, Mom. How did Dad go through security?"
"He did really good. No issues."
"Great. Before you come home, can you bring me Cinnabon?"
Emma giggled."Sure kid. Since we do not have it in Storybrooke and also the last time you had it when we went to New York."
"That is right. What day are you coming home?"
"We will back to Maine on Saturday evening."
"I hope you have fun on your babymoon. I want to come over when you both return to hear all about it."
"Sounds good kid."
"Have fun, Mom."
"Thank you, Henry. Your dad is going to be overprotective of me and your little sister."
"Oh, I can imagine that. Bye, mom. Say hi to Dad for me."
"I will Henry. Bye."
"That was our son?"
"Yup, he called me to get him a Cinnabon roll on the way home." Before their flight, Emma went to the bathroom a couple of times, since she had constant urination. They boarded their 3-hour flight to Florida. Killian gave Emma the aisle seat so she can go to the bathroom easier. Killian watched a movie with headphones and Emma read for most of the flight. When she was not reading, she slept on Killian's shoulder. He did not mind at all, he was rubbing her baby bump feeling little Hope move around inside Emma's belly.
When their flight landed. Killian retrieved their luggage and they got their rented car. Once, they arrived at their hotel Emma changed into her bikini and cover-up. "Swan, you look amazing."
"Thank you, Killian. I bought you your own swim trunks for the beach." He changed into his beach gear. They rented an umbrella if Emma needed shade since she cannot be in the sun for a long time. Emma enjoyed standing by the waves crashing on her feet. Emma cooed "Baby Hope, you will love the ocean like your Daddy and Mommy. Mommy loves the ocean. You will have many trips to the beach. Mommy did not have many vacations but you will with your big brother."
Killian approaches her, "You are enjoying the waves, Swan."
"Yes, I am. Our baby girl is moving like she knows we are the ocean. She is already like her Daddy."
'Aye, she will love playing on the beach with us and Henry. She will love playing in the water. She will love to sail."
"Oh, she definitely will." Killian helped Emma sit on the wet sand so she can get wet. Killian sat next to her and joined her. He put a lot of wet sand covering Emma's baby bump. "What are you doing?" She giggles.
"Cooling your baby bump off."
"Oh really. You do know that your the one is going to take it off right?"
"Yes, I know." He ran back to their seats to get his phone and sat down next to her. "I took a few pics of you while your standing by the shore. Now another one. This to show everyone you are enjoying the ocean."
"I am definitely enjoying the ocean. I love it. I never had a normal vacation like this as a child growing up. I am so grateful for it now."
"Aye, I am sure we will have many vacations once Hope comes."
"Yes. We will."
Killian returned his phone so it will not get wet. Killian returned and rubbed Emma's back since it was hurting her. They went in the ocean not too deep. "The baby loves it, she moving around so much. I think she knows that I am in the water."
"That is my little pirate, takes after her Daddy." They kiss.
"I am having so much fun."
"Me too, Swan."
After the ocean, Emma spends some time reading under the umbrella. Once the sunset, they returned to their hotel and had dinner. Emma, of course, had the non-alcoholic drink. Later on, they enjoyed the quiet time they have together in the hotel room. Emma went to bed straight away because the day made her exhausted. Killian quietly sang to Emma's baby bump to Hope.
The next day, Emma had the prenatal spa treatment that she booked in advance. Killian was up before her as usual. "Morning, Love."
"Morning." She sits up in bed and bends her head and spoke to her baby bump, "Good morning little Hope. Mommy loves you." She got up and got ready for her spa treatment.
Emma went downstairs to the hotel spa.
"Hello, I booked a prenatal spa treatment under Emma Jones."
"Emma Jones, the spa pedicure, manicure and body massage?"
"Yes."
"Come on in. Here is a robe. Your masseuse will pick you up."
"Okay."
She changed out of her normal clothes. She whispered, "Mommy is getting a massage, to make her body less stressed."
Emma got a full prenatal massage which she enjoyed the most because the massaged helped her back and legs. She got her spa pedicure and manicure. She got a dark maroon nail polish mani and pedicure. After her spa appointment, Killian picked her up. "Hello, swan."
"Hi, honey." She hugged and kissed him.
They walked around the hotel. "How was your spa appointment?"
"It was amazing. I got a prenatal body massage which relieved a lot of pain and relaxed my muscles. I got my nails painted. What did you do while I was at the spa?"
"I lounged at the pool. I still do prefer the smell of the real ocean. Pool water just sits there. Did the little duckling moved during the massage?"
"She moved a little. She moved more when I was getting my nails painted."
"What do you want to do now?"
"I would love to go to the beach."
"That sounds like a great idea."
They went to the beach. They swam in the ocean together. They did some sun tanning. Later, they had dinner. After dinner, they walked along the ocean shore hand in hand. For the next few days, going to the beach became their routine. They both love the ocean, swimming and relaxing in the sand. Every time, they were in the ocean baby Hope kicked. When they were sitting on the wet sand getting wet. "You know, Swan. I am glad you came up with this babymoon trip."
"Thank you. I am having a great time. This may be one of my favorite vacations I ever had, besides our honeymoon."
"I am having fun just being the two of us and able to relax and enjoy the beach."
"Same here. It is too bad we have to go home tomorrow."
"Aye, but we are going to have more fun vacations once baby Hope comes." She rubs her baby bump.
"Yes, and we must include Henry."
"Aye, we cannot forget our son."
Emma giggled. Killian kisses her on the lips and rubs her baby bump, while the waves crash on them both.
