Happy Beginning Captain Swan

Boston Day 2

Hope gave Emma and Killian another long night. After Hope was fed, Hope had a huge spit up that scattered all over their hotel bed. "Hope, it is okay baby. As long it is out of your system." Emma wakes up Killian. "Killian." Killian wakes up. "I need your help taking off the bed blankets. Hope had projectile spit up all over the hotel bed."
"Is Hope sick, love?"
"I think she just ate too much." She bends down to Hope. "Hope, did you ate too much sweetie?" She kisses Hope on the head and cuddles her. She cleans up Hope. Killian takes off the spit up bed off their bed. He calls room service to ask for more blankets and they quickly delivered to their room. Killian gives Emma the extra blankets. Hope and Emma still sleeping skin to skin, the only way Hope slept on this trip. "Thank you, Killian."
Killian kisses Emma. "Anything for me two loves." He kisses Hope on the head. "Little Hope, let Mommy sleep." He goes back to his bed.
"I still love my Hope snuggles even though you do not give me sleep." Hope and Emma fell asleep. Killian took the next shift of changing Hope so Emma can get more rest. Killian woke up early, to be with Hope. "Little love, are you looking forward to the science museum today? Let's Mommy and Henry sleep in for a little longer lass." Killian takes Hope downstairs to breakfast. They were one of the first people at breakfast. Killian ate his breakfast and spoke to Hope who was listening to her Daddy. When Kilian carried sleeping Hope back to their room Emma and Henry were still fast asleep. Killian sat down next to his sleeping wife with Hope in his arms. He looks at his sleeping daughter. He wonders, "I never imagine to have a little lass of my own." He gently kisses Hope on the head. Emma wakes up around 8:30 am seeing Killian next to her with Hope in his arms.
"Morning."
"Morning love."
"How you been up?"
"Around three hours. I took Hope downstairs for breakfast with me. I talked and she listened until she fell asleep in my arms. She has not woke up since?"
"Aye, she has been sleeping for the last 2 hours. If you are still tired, love to get more rest. I got Hope."
They kiss. "You are the best."
"Hope is sleeping on me. You were up with her most of the night."
"That is right. She will sleep in the night eventually."
"Aye, our little lass will eventually." Emma falls back to sleep. Killian watched Hope sleep in his arms, he had a pillow under his arms so they would not get tired.
Henry woke up an hour later. "Morning, Dad."
"Morning, lad. As you can see your Mom and Hope are still asleep."
"I can see why Hope kept up Mom awake all night. Was Hope sick?"
"No, she had projectile spit that went all over their bed blankets."
"Wow, how long she has been sleeping?"
"I brought down Hope for breakfast at 6:00 am and she fell asleep at 6:30 am. So about 3 hours now."
Henry took a shower and went down got breakfast. He brought breakfast for his mom. While Henry was downstairs, Emma woke up around 10:00 am. "Killian, is she still asleep?"
"Aye, she is."
"Let me hold her for a little while." He hands over Hope to Emma.
"What time did you feed her last swan?"
"Around 4:30 am. I have a feeling she will wake up soon to be fed." She kisses Hope on the head. "Mommy loves you so much, Hope. You are now sleeping so peacefully. You must be tired for being up all night." Killian wrapped his arms around his two loves, Emma enjoyed being in his arms. Hope began to wake up ."Baby, you are awake sweetie."
"Little, love you were sleeping for a while." He gives Hope his hook hand and she grabs it. "You love Daddy's hook." Emma smiles.
"Yes, she does. She loves you for who you are like how I love you." They kiss. Emma changed Hope into her fish onesies that her Daddy gave her. "Hope, you are wearing fishes that your Daddy got you." She kisses Hope.
"Swan, it fits her."
"Yes, it does. I think she likes it." Hope began to cry. "Hope, are you ready for your breakfast?" she preps to nurse Hope and she eats quickly. "Hope, I kn0w that you are a hungry baby. You do not have to rush sweetie, your milk is not going anywhere." She kisses Hope on the head and rubs her head.
Henry returns with his mom's breakfast. "Hi, mom. I brought you some breakfast."
"Thank you, Henry." He gives her the plate and she began to eat while Hope ate. Henry and Killian began to plan where to go first to the museum of science, from the pamphlets Henry brought up with Emma's breakfast. When Emma and Hope both finished eating, Emma burped Hope. "Henry, Hope wants her big brother." Henry sat on the girl's bed and held Hope. "Good morning, Hope. I know you had a rough night little sis. You seem to feel better now." Hope gurgled happily in Henry's arms. Emma smiled at her two children and went into the bathroom to change out of her pajamas. Killian prepped Hope's carriage with her quilt, carrier and diaper bag ready. Emma returned from the bathroom and checked the diaper bag to see if they packed everything for Hope.
Henry holding Hope. "Mom, Hope and I are looking forward to the Museum of Science."
"Oh, really?"
"Yes, there are tons of things to do and a lot of hands-on fun."
"I think Hope is a little too young for this hand on sections but I know she will enjoy whatever we see."
"Swan, is the museum far from here?"
"Yes, we have to use the car." Killian pushed the carriage to the car and loaded the car. Henry carried Hope. Emma buckled Hope in her car seat. "Hope, we are going to a museum. You will have a fun time baby girl." She kisses Hope on the cheek. Henry sits next to Hope. Emma drove all of them to the museum. It was a ten-minute car ride from their hotel to the museum. Emma parked the car and gets Hope out of her car seat. "Hope, we are going to have fun today baby." She holds Hope in her arms and kisses Hope on the head. Killian got the carriage, diaper bag, and carrier out of the trunk with the help from Henry. Emma placed Hope in the carriage. Killian pushed the carriage. Emma and Henry got their tickets and maps of the museum.
"Mom, I think Hope will enjoy the butter garden."
"Henry, she is going to love it. Let's go there first while she is awake." They walk back to Killian and Hope.
"Lad, where are we going to first?"
"Well, while Hope is awake. We are going to the butterfly garden."
"Aye, she is going to love the butterfly room." They went to the butterfly garden first. Emma pushed Hope in her carriage as Henry lead them the way. When all of them went into the butterfly garden, they entered a greenhouse room full of butterflies flying everywhere. Killian and Henry walked around to look around the room full of butterflies.
Emma pointed to butterflies around Hope and Emma. "Hope, look at the pretty butterflies baby." Hope looked around in her carriage. A pink butterfly landed on Hope's nose. Emma took a quick picture before the butterfly went away. "Hope, you had a butterfly landed on your nose, baby girl. Did you like it, sweetie?" Hope cooed happily. Emma clapped Hope's hands.
"Mom, there are so many butterflies in here. I cannot take pictures of them they do not stay still."
"I got one on my iPhone of a butterfly landed on Hope's nose."
Henry rushes to his Mom. "Let me see." She gives him her iPhone. "Wow. Hope is lucky. The butterfly stayed on Hope's nose perfectly. Great picture Mom."
"Thank you, Henry."
Henry talks to Hope. "Hope, you like the pretty butterflies, little sis?" Henry gives Hope kisses on the cheek.
"Henry, let's take a family picture."
"Sure, Dad. Mom wants to do a family picture."
"Coming lad." Emma held Hope for the family picture. A worker took the family photo. Butterflies flew around them.
"Dad, Mom there are two butterflies on Hope." Henry took a quick picture with his camera of Hope and the two butterflies.
The butterflies few off of Hope. "Hope, the butterflies love you, sweetie." She kisses Hope on the head.
"Aye, they love our Hope swan."
"Yes, they do love her." Emma placed Hope back in her carriage. "Hope, say bye bye to the pretty butterflies." They went to the next exhibit the Colossal Fossil Exhibit. Henry takes Hope out of her carriage.
"Hope, look at these old bones of dinosaurs." He pointed pictures of what they dinosaurs were when they were alive compared to their bone stature now. Emma loved how Henry taught Hope on dinosaurs.
"Swan, I never knew what dinosaurs was until now."
"Oh, really for my pirate who lives for many centuries never heard of dinosaurs."
"Aye, I never have." They kiss and enjoyed Henry teaching Hope. "This trip was a great idea, love."
"Yes, it was. I love making fun family memories."
"Me too, love." Killian took pictures of Henry teaching Hope. They walked around the huge room full of dinosaur bones. Hope fell asleep in Henry's arms. Henry brings Hope to their Mom. "Mom, Hope is asleep."
"Henry, I am sure Hope had fun with you before she had her nap."
"Yes, she did. She loves listening to me."
"Lad, can you tell me about dinosaurs. I did not know that they exist until today."
"Dad, no way! Come on, I will tell you." Emma giggled as Henry dragged Killian to the other side of the exhibit. Henry gave his Dad a tour of dinosaurs and gave him a lot of information.
Hope was still in her arms. "Hope, Daddy's turn to get a tour from your big brother." She kisses Hope and put her in her carriage. "Have a good nap, my little pirate princess." She pushed Hope in her carriage around and found a seat to relax while Hope napped. After an hour of Henry giving a history lesson to Killian of dinosaurs, they went to the planetarium. "Killian, I will stay out here with Hope. I have a feeling that the planetarium lights or sounds will make her afraid."
"Good idea, love." They kiss.
"Enjoy." She looks down at sleeping Hope in her carriage. "Mommy does not want to disturb your nap, my sweet girl." Emma walked around the to discovery center and looked around.
Meanwhile, Killian and Henry were inside the planetarium enjoying the cosmic light show. They sat in chairs that moved them up facing up for them to gaze up what the universe looks likes with stars and planets and shooting stars. They were amazed at this star show which was very loud. The show was about forty minutes. When the boys left the room, they were very impressed with the show. "Mom missed this."
"Lad, she did not want to interrupt your sister's nap and it was loud in there so if Hope was in there with us Hope would have been crying interrupting the show for everyone else."
"Yes, you are right. Hope will love it when she is older."
He pats Henry on the shoulder, "Aye, lad. Let's go find your Mom and sister." They found Emma with Hope in the Discover Center. Emma was sitting down on a bench while holding Hope."Swan, how are my two loves." They kiss.
"We are good. Hope here just woke up from her nap."
"Mom, the show was really cool."
"Did you enjoy the show?"
"Yes, we did."
Emma hands Hope to Killian. "Little love, did you have a nice nap?" Hope gave her poop face and made poop. "Hope, why do you always make poop when I hold you?" Emma and Henry laugh. "Hope, you are a little pirate." He kisses her on the cheeks.
Emma takes the diaper bag from under Hope's stroller. "Hope, you need a change sweetie?" She takes Hope from Killian's arms. "There is a bathroom in the next section and also a cafeteria. Hope and I can meet both of you there."
"Aye, we can take the carriage with us." Henry and Killian went to the cafeteria while Emma brought Hope to the bathroom to be changed. There was a long line to the bathroom. Emma excused her and Hope so she can get to the changing station for Hope. Emma placed the changing mat on the changing table with one hand while holding Hope. She placed Hope on the changing table with the changing mat. Hope made a lot of poop. "Hope, you are stinky but I still love you, baby." She changes Hope as quickly as possible because she did not want to stink up the women's room any longer and ignoring the stares of the women waiting in line. "Hope you are all clean baby, let's go back to Daddy and Henry." She holds Hope and puts the changing mat back in the diaper bag and exits the restroom ignoring the stares. "Hope, some people do not like babies. Hope you are the cutest baby in the whole world." She kisses Hope who was leaning on her shoulder. They enter the cafeteria it took a while to find Killian and Henry but she found her two boys. "Hope, we are with Henry and Daddy."
"Mom, I got you your lunch."
"Aww, that is sweet of you Henry. Thank you."
"Mom, can I hold Hope for a little while?"
"Sure." She talks to Hope, "Hope, have fun with Henry." She kisses Hope. Henry comes up to Emma and gets Hope from their Mom's arms.
"Hope, are you having fun today little sis? Did you like the butterfly exhibit?" Killian and Emma smiled at Henry talking to Hope.
"Emma, are you having fun today?"
"Yes, I am. I love the butterfly exhibit so far that is my favorite exhibit. How about you?"
"I enjoyed the dinosaur section. I never knew Henry knew a lot about dinosaurs."
"Yes, our son is very smart. How was the planetarium?"
"It was interesting, I knew about stars from living on the Jolly Roger but I had no idea about the planets."
"We are all learning new things today and on this trip."
"I am loving this trip swan."
"Me too, I know they are having fun and getting closer."
"Aye, yes they are love." They ate. By the time, Emma finished her lunch Hope began to cry in Henry's arms. He brings Hope to Emma.
"Hope, is it time for you lunch sweetie?" She kisses Hope on the head. Henry gives her the burp towel and cover. Emma preps to feed Hope while Henry helps his Mom with the cover. Emma nurses Hope.
"Mom, is it too weird to feed Hope under a cover?"
"Yes and no, Henry. There are laws for breastfeeding public. It is weird for me to cover up but I do not want to show anyone else my breast." She bends down to Hope, "Hope, Mommy can still see you while you in the cover sweetie." After Hope was finished wither her meal and burped, Hope fell asleep in her Mommy's arms. "I think I can use the carrier. I have a feeling if I put her in the stroller, she will wake up and cry."
"Good idea love." Killian helps Emma put the carrier on and placed Hope in the carrier. Hope was sound asleep with her head on Emma's chest. Killian pushed the carrier and walked with Emma who was with Hope, Henry leads them to the Energizer exhibit on the bottom floor. The energizer section was a room full of ways to use electricity. Henry found ways to get his hair stand up and Killian joined the fun with Henry. Emma laughed. "Hope Henry and Daddy are being silly." Emma watched the boys have fun. Emma enjoyed watching Henry and Killian have fun and she loved her snuggle time with Hope. There was one section of the energizer room that has a very loud thunderbolt sound that woke up Hope who cried. Emma quickly took out Hope and the carriage out of the exhibit to a quieter place. Emma comforted her daughter. "Hope, it is okay baby, Mommy got you, sweetie. The sound is gone, sweetie.Shh...shh.." With Emma rocking and bouncing Hope, she calmed down and fell back to sleep. "That is my good sweet girl. Mommy loves you, Hope." She kisses Hope on the head and rubbed her little hands. While Emma was with Hope Henry and Killian went to the wind section and enjoyed their time there getting blasted with wind. They found Emma with Hope, "Hope, your Daddy and Henry looked like they had too much fun." She looked up at her two men, Where did you two end up going?"
"Mom, we went to the wind room. It was so much fun!"
Emma covered Hope's ears. "Henry you are screaming kid,"
"Sorry, I lost my hearing for a little bit while we were in the wind exhibit and got blasted by wind in the virtual ride." Emma giggles.
"Killian, did you have fun?"
"Oh yes, I did. How is little Hope?"
"Hope got afraid of the thunderbolt in the energizer room and I had to take her out to calm down. She calmed down and went back to her nap."
Emma and the boys went to a few more exhibits until the museum began to close. Hope woke up when they reached their car. "Hope, you are awake baby." She kisses Hope on the head. "Are you hungry sweetie?" She feeds Hope before they find a place to eat dinner. Hope was awake while they had dinner in a restaurant. While they were waiting for their meals, Henry played with Hope. Hope began to cry. "Hope, what is the matter, baby?" Henry brings Hope to their Mom. "Do you need a change?" She checks her diaper. "Mommy will change you baby." She kisses Hope on the head and Killian hands over the diaper bag to Emma. The bathroom was a single restroom with a long line. Emma calms down crying Hope as they waited for their turn in the bathroom. "Hope, Mommy will change you soon. We have to wait for the bathroom, sweetie." There was an old lady in front of them.
"What an adorable little girl you have."
"Thank you. Sorry about her crying, she needs to be changed."
"It is my turn next, you can take my turn?"
"Are you sure?"
"I am sure. I do not like when a baby is crying."
"Thank you so much." Emma takes Hope into the small restroom. She used the changing pad on the tile floor and placed Hope on the mat. Hope cried until she clean. "Hope, you are cleaned, baby." She threw out the dirty diaper. Held Hope and put the changing mat back into the diaper bag. Emma and Hope return to their table.
"Did the little lass give you a hard time?"
"No, there is one single bathroom with a very long line. Hope was crying until I finally changed her. A nice elderly lady let us skip the line because Hope was crying so much." Hope slept on Emma's chest.
"Mom, Hope does sleep a lot?"
"Yes, she does. When she is two months she going to be awake and alert." Emma realizes what day it was. Emma gasps and looks at Hope.
"What is it, love?"
"Hope, you are a one-month-old baby girl."
"Mom, are you crying?"
"No, I am not."
"Little love, you are one month old today." He puts his arm around Emma. "It is okay to be so emotional love." He kisses her on the head. Hope moved in her sleep. Their food arrived. Emma ate her meal with one hand. "Love, do you want me to hold Hope for a little while, for you to eat?"
"Killian, I do not mind eating one hand while I hold Hope. I love my Hope snuggles. Thank you for the offer though." She kisses him on the cheek.
"Mom, can we go to New York City together? For a family trip not to destroy magic?"
"When your finals are over next week, I am pretty sure we can plan a trip to New York City for fun."
"Yes!" Emma and Killian laughed.
"We need to plan our next family trip, love."
"Yes, we need to. I already booked our beach house in Florida."
"Mom where are we staying in Florida?"
"We are going to Miami, Florida."
"When are we going to Florida in June?"
"We are going to go Florida at the very end of June. June 26 to July 3rd."
"When can we got to New York?"
"Since your finals end at the beginning of June. We can leave on a Saturday, June 2 return to Maine on June 7th. Your dad and I have to plan it out, kid."
"Lad, we will let you know when we are going to New York City." After their dinner, the family returned to their hotel later, the pool was closed. Hope began to fuss.
"Hope, are you hungry baby?" Emma fed Hope. "You are Mommy's good girl, Hope." Henry sat next to Emma and Hope. Henry held Hope's little foot. "Mom she is a month old already."
"I know, kid. Hope is getting big and it went by so quick."
Henry hugs his Mom. "Mom, when she is bigger you and I can play with her more?"
"Yes, we can Henry." Hope stopped eating to look at Henry. "Hope, you have spit up baby." She used the burp towel to wipe off Hope's spit up. "You can play with your big brother after you eat, baby." She talks to Henry. "She loves you so much, Henry."
"I know, we all love her Mom." After Hope ate, Emma laid out Hope's quilt. Hope did some tummy time. "That is it, little sis, you can do it, Hope." Emma watched Henry interacting with Hope as she did her tummy time on the other bed.
Killian sat with Emma. "Our little duckling loves Henry."
"Yes, she does. He loves her and we love her." They snuggle together as Hope does her tummy time.
"Which place did you like more? The aquarium or the science museum?"
"I love the aquarium. How about you?"
"I love both. I know you did not do much today because of Hope."
"Hey, it is okay. I know we are going to come back here. I enjoyed my time with our little girl."
"How about me love?"
"Are you jealous captain?"
"Aye." They make out.
"Hope, do not look at Mommy and Daddy they are making out, meaning the extreme amount of kissing."
"Henry." They laugh.
"I love making memories on this trip."
"Same here, love."
Hope began to fuss. "Lad, give me the little lass. I did not get to spend enough time with my little love today." Henry kisses Hope on the head and gives Hope to Killian. Killian placed Hope on his chest. "Hope, time for some Daddy and daughter time." He kisses Hope on the head.
"Mom, do you play cards?"
"Sure, Henry." Emma and Killian kiss. Emma and Henry play card games on the other bed. Hope listened to her daddy until she fell asleep. Killian fell asleep with Hope on his chest. Emma and Henry talked on the other bed. "Henry, what is your favorite part of this family vacation?"
"My favorite part of the trip is spending time with all of you even though Hope keeps us up all night."
Emma hugs Henry very tight. "Kid, that is a great answer, that what I was hoping to get out of this vacation. Spending time with my family."
"Mom, I love the time we have together. That is why I cannot wait for our next family trip."
"Same here, kid." He hugs her.
Henry smelled something."Mom, what is that smell?"
Emma tried to figure out the smell too. She looks at Hope on Killian's chest. She jumps off the bed seeing Hope diaper overflowed with poop through her clothes. "Hope, did you have a big tummy ache sweetie?" She turns to Henry. "Henry, run a bath, your sister needs a bath."
"I am on it." He runs to the bathroom.
"Hope, you got Daddy's shirt dirty sweetie."
Killian wakes up. "What is that awful smell?" Emma covers Hope's ears. "Hope pooped on me?"
"Yes, Hope had a poop explosion." Hope began to cry. "Hope, Daddy is not mad sweetie. Daddy knows you did not mean to dirty his shirt." She kisses Hope.
"Mom, her bath is ready."
"Hope, time for your bath." She looks at her husband. "Killian put your dirty shirt in the laundry bag."
"Aye."
She takes Hope to the bathroom. "Henry, I am going to take her clothes off first, then I need your help giving Hope a bath." She takes Hope's dirty onesie off and threw it in a plastic bag and took off Hope's dirty diaper off.
Henry covers his nose."Mom."
"I know Henry. This why she needs a bath."
"Hope, do not cry. Mommy and I are going to clean you, little sis." He held Hope's hand. Hope calmed down.
"Henry, you will hold her and I will wash her. Hold her tight, you got it?"
"Yes, Mom. I will not let her fall."
"Good. Hope you are going to a nice warm bath sweetie." Henry puts Hope in the water and held her. Emma uses the soap to clean Hope off with no sponge instead she used a towel. "You are doing good sweetie. You are getting clean so quick." She looks at Henry. "You got her."
"Yes, Mom. Hope usually likes bath time. Why is she crying now?" She drains the bathtub. She gets Hope her towel and takes Hope from Henry.
Emma drying off Hope."I think she is upset that she made a big blow out. She likes to be clean. Her blow out went on your Dad's shirt."
"Whoa, that bad?"
"Yes, if we smelled it was that bad. It leaked through her clothes." She bends down to Hope. "Hope, you are all clean baby girl." Henry passes his mom a clean diaper. She wrapped Hope in her towel. "Hope, do you want storytime with Henry?"
"Mom, that, will make her feel better." Henry kisses Hope on the head. "Hope, I love to read to you, little sis."
Emma brings Hope back to the bed. She lotions up Hope and played their kissing game. "You love this game, right sweetie?" Hope smiled. "Yes, you do. I love you my little Hope." She put pajamas on Hope and held Hope in her arms. "Killian, are you feeling better?"
"Aye, love I was just surprised that is all. I know Hope felt bad."
"This is the first bath that she cried in, I think Hope felt sorry."
"Let me hold her love." Emma hands over Hope to Killian. "Hi, little Hope. Daddy is not mad at you little love. Daddy loves you, little lass." Killian looks at Hope and kisses her on the head. Hope gurgled happily in her Daddy's arms.
"Aww. Hope loves you."
"I know, love." He sits next to Emma.
"Mom, can I read Hope a story now?"
"Yes, you can." Emma moved down to make room for Henry. Killian held Hope while Henry read her a story.
After one story, Emma began to pack their luggage, to make sure they are not to forget anything before they leave in the morning. Emma took a shower and changed into pajamas in the bathroom. Emma returned to her little family on her bed. Killian hand over sleeping Hope to Emma. She put Hope on her chest.
"Night, Mom." He kisses her on the head.
"Night, Henry." She gives him a kiss on the head.
Henry gives a small kiss to Hope. "Night, Hope." Killian gives kisses to both of his loves. Henry and Killian quietly went to their bed. Emma went quietly under the covers and wrapped sleeping Hope in her favorite quilt. She gave Hope a few little kisses. "Sweet dreams, little Hope. Mommy loves you so much." She swears she sees Hope smiling in her sleep. "Mommy loves you too Hope." Emma drifts off the sleep.
