Happy Beginning Captain Swan

Team Swan-Jones

Emma had a bad dream of someone trying to hurt Hope and Henry and she could not protect her children. Every time she tried to help them something was pulling her away from her children. Emma woke up sweating and out of breath. Killian wakes up hearing Emma, he wrapped her in his arms. "Love. Are you alright?" Emma was shaking in his arms.
"I will be right back." She leaves her room and Killian is right behind her to Henry's room, Emma seeing Henry and Hope sleeping together. "They are safe." She kisses Hope and Henry on their heads, "I love you both much." She sits on the floor watching them sleep together. Killian wrapped his arms around his wife and rubbed her shoulders. "Henry and Hope are both sound asleep love, safe and happy. They are safe love. Do you want to tell me what happened?"
Emma leaned on her husband's chest and he hugs her tight. "I had a very bad dream about Hope and Henry getting hurt. I could not do anything to save them, every time I reached them someone grabbed me pulling me away from them."
"Love, you are their mommy who takes cares of them and loves them and always protect them. You are my brave strong wife."
"What if it happens, my dream? That I cannot protect our children."
"Emma, you have me on your side. I promise you that our children are not going to be any danger where you and I cannot help them. They will always have us, love."
"They do have the best daddy."
"Aye, they have the best Mommy." They kiss and hug. "Are you feeling better love?"
"Yes. You always know how to cheer me up."
"You will do the same for me, love. Let's go back to bed." Killian stood up and he gives Emma his hook and helped her up from the floor. As they were leaving Hope began to cry.
"I will get our little girl."
"Aye, she wants to sleep with us."
Emma gets Hope from Henry. "Hope, Mommy got you, sweetie. We can snuggle in Mommy's room. We have to be quiet to let Henry sleep." Hope continued to cry. "Hope, are you hungry? Mommy will feed you." She takes Hope to her room and nurses her daughter. After Hope was fed she was still awake. "Killian, I think Hope wants a pirate story from her dada."
"Hope, it is storytime little love." He wrapped his arm around his two loves and he let Hope hold his hook hand. Hope babbled. "Once upon a time, there was a pirate who ran the Jolly Roger. He and his crew stuck in a very dangerous place called Neverland." Hope was enjoying her storytime with her Daddy, looking at her Daddy with her matching ocean blue eyes and smiling at her Daddy during her storytime. Emma was smiling as their daughter enjoying storytime by her amazing daddy husband Killian. Hope fell asleep in her Mommy's arms. "That is my little pirate. Good night little love. Daddy loves you so much." He ungripped Hope's hand from his hook and she began to cry. He puts his hook back in his lass's small hand. "Here you go, little love."
"Hope loves her Daddy's hook."
"Aye, our little pirate loves holding my hook. Since our little love is holding onto you and I. I get to cuddle with my beautiful wife who is holding our little love."
"That is right, captain." They kiss. "I love you."
"I love you too, Emma." They kiss again.
"Sweet dreams baby girl. We love you so much." She kisses Hope on the head and sleeps in Killian's arms. Hope woke up a few hours later crying which woke up her Mommy and Daddy. "Hopey, Mommy got you." She sniffs her daughter. "You need a change." Emma brings Hope to her room and changes her diaper. Emma smelled her daughter and saw the poop covered pajamas, "You had a poop explosion. Mommy will get you cleaned up." Killian came in to check on his two loves.
"Swan, is Hope alright?"
"Hope just needs a clean diaper and a new onesie. She had a poop explosion." Hope cried. "Hopey, Mommy is going to clean you all up." Killian passes Emma baby wipes, clean diaper and new pajamas as Emma got Hope clean and threw out the poop covered pajamas and diaper. "Hope, you are getting clean little love. Do not cry, Hope. Daddy is helping your Mommy clean you right up. Then you will be with Mommy's arms and holding Dada's hook." He rubbed Hope's head. Hope made more poop. "Love, she needs another clean diaper. She is making more poop."
Emma gets another diaper. "Hope, that is alright. Mommy and Daddy will make sure you are all clean before you get new pajamas for you to wear." She lets Hope hold her finger. "When you are done making poop, we will clean you up baby girl." Hope cried more and made a lot of poop. Emma changes Hope diaper when she was finished and changed her into a new outfit. "You are all clean and in new pajamas." Emma holds Hope who was gripping her. "Mommy got you, sweetie. Is your tummy hurting you? Is that why you are making a lot of poop?" Hope cried. "You are with Mommy baby girl. You are going to be alright."
"Love, she is making a lot of poop more than usual. Do you think that she is coming down with something?"
"Maybe she is having a tummy ache. We just have to keep a close eye on her."
"Aye, love. We will, love."
"Mommy."
"Our little love wants her Mommy."
"Hopey, Mommy is here. I know you are not feeling well, sweetie. You are going to be alright." She talks to Killian. "Hope is in pain, I just know it."
"Love, I can call Allison in the morning to have us visit her at work."
"I am just hoping this passes but if not she is going to see her aunt at work. For now, Hope and I are going to cuddle in here. Hope, you like cuddling with Mommy?" Hope cried louder and made more poop. "I am pretty sure, her tummy hurts her when she making poop."
"From the sound of her crying, that sounds like it. I can change her diaper love." Emma sets Hope down and changes her daughter out of her clothes. "Does she need a new outfit love?"
"Her outfit is clean." Killian changes Hope into a clean diaper.
"You are clean little love." Emma gets her daughter from the changing table.
" I have a feeling she is going to wear only a diaper for the rest of the night."
"Aye, just in case she needs to be changed over and over again."
"Exactly, captain."
"I told you were are team Swan-Jones."
"You are right. I have a feeling we are going to have a long night."
"Love, do you want cinnamon hot cocoa?"
"Yes, please. I am thirsty."
"I will make us some hot cocoa."
"We can drink them downstairs in the living room with Hope. We can let Henry sleep." Killian brings Hope's diaper needs downstairs as Emma carried Hope downstairs. "Mommy and Daddy are going to be with you all night, to make you feel better. We know you are not feeling well baby." She sits on the couch takes off her shirt and puts Hope lying on top of her and kisses Hope on the head and while Hope hugged her Mommy. "You can give me all of the Hopey hugs and I will never get tired of your hugs sweetie. I am sorry you are feeling good. Mommy and Daddy will be there for you, like now when you are sick and always whenever you need us." Hope lessened her crying while doing skin to skin with her Mommy. "You like skin to skin with Mommy?" Hope babbled. "It is making you feel better?" Hope babbled. "You can sleep with Mommy sweetie. Mommy and Daddy will watch you sleep. When you wake up Mommy and Daddy will be right here when you need us." She rubbed Hope's back with a baby lotion made her little girl relax and Hope fell asleep. Killian carried in a tray of cinnamon hot chocolate and chocolate chip cookies and put it on the table. "Hope is asleep, love?"
"Yes, she just fell asleep. She just wants to be held and not crawl around, she is definitely not feeling well. Skin to skin is making her feel better. I do not care she is too big for skin to skin, it is helping her right now when she is having tummy pain."
"You are making her comfortable as possible and happy because you are holding her making her feel sick."
Killian got a blanket and wrapped it around his wife and daughter. "Thank you, I was getting cold."
"You looked, cold love. You are helping our little love the best way that a mother can, skin to skin contact. It is my job to make sure my loving caring wife is nice and warm when she is helping our little lass."
"We are missing something?"
"What is that love?"
"You." Killian smiled at his love and she smiled back at him. He shared Emma's blanket with her and he gently wrapped his arm around his wife. "Anything else?"
"We have Hope's diaper needs, Hope sleeping on me, snacks, a blanket for you and I to share. We have everything we need for the long rest of the night of no sleep."
"Aye, you and I are together and helping our little love when she needs both of us."
"That is right. I hate seeing our baby in pain."
"She has you and I love. We are going to help her when she needs us especially when she is sick. Hope has been through much worse already in her little life already."
"Yes, her injuries turn into surgery twice all because of my mom and brother's fault."
"Even though Hope went through a hard time, we are there for her. We got to see who Hope is going to be when she is older a little fighter and survivor, just like the both of us."
"That is right, Hope is part you and I. She is a hero like the both of us, a little pirate princess a perfect mix of us."
"When she gets better, I know that Hope will have so much fun on our family vacation."
"Yes, we got to start planning in the morning."
"Aye, we can plan together."
"I told Henry that he will help us with planning our trip."
"Aye Henry is going to help us plan which works out great because I have a feeling our little love will keep us very busy tomorrow."
"That is very true." She leans on her husband and falls asleep. Killian kisses his wife on the head. Hope woke up crying and Killian gets his daughter. "Little love, you need a diaper change?" Hope makes poop and cried more. He holds his daughter. "Hope, you are with Dada. I know your tummy is hurting you. Dada will change your diaper." He puts Hope on the changing mat set up on the carpet and changes Hope into a clean diaper. Hope cries more. Killian holds his little love. "Hope, Daddy is here...daddy is here..." He bounces up and down his daughter and walked around the house. Killian sang Hope a few songs from his pirate days. Emma woke up hearing Hope crying and Killian walking Hope around the house.
Emma stops in Killian's pacing. "Killian, give me our daughter. She wants her Mommy." Killian hands over Hope to his wife. "Hopey. Come to mommy baby girl." Hope cried. "Yes. Hopey, Mommy is holding you, sweetie. You are alright. Mommy and Daddy are here. I know you aren't feeling well..shh...shh..." Hope gripped her Mommy as she cried. "Mommy got you." She gave Hope kisses while they were doing skin to skin. "You are alright...you give the best hugs, baby girl, yes you do. They are my Hopey hugs. We are going to snuggle until you feel better."
"Mommy."
"That is right baby girl, Mommy is hugging you. I am right here, Hope. Mommy got you. You are not alone, Hope." She nuzzles her head over her daughter. "Are you hungry?" Emma nurses Hope. "Later, you and Henry are going to help Mommy and Daddy plan our family vacation. Would you like to help us?" Hope gripped her Mommy.
"Love, I think that is a yes from our little love." Once Hope was finished eating, she fell asleep. Emma kisses Hope on the head."She is fast asleep."
"Aye, you did amazing love. I could not get her to stop crying. When she was with you she felt safe in her mother's arms."
"She will always have me to make her feel safe. Always."
"She will have the both of us love." Killian wrapped his arm around his wife and daughter. Hope wakes up a few hours later crying. Emma wakes up as the sun was rising with Hope and checks her daughter's diaper. "You need another change, little buttercup." Emma puts Hope on the changing mat. Hope makes more poop and puked on her. "Hope, Mommy knows you are sick, sweetie. You and I both need a bubble bath." Emma holds her daughter on her chest and rubs her back. "You are with Mommy...when you are done, we can take a bubble bath together." Killian wakes up hearing Emma with Hope. They just looked at each other knowing Hope needed Allison. "Love, I will call Allison," Killian calls Allison. "Good morning, Allison."
"Hi, Killian."
"Aye, sorry to call you really early on a Saturday morning." He watched Emma changes Hope's diaper. "That is okay, Killian. What is going on?"
"Emma and I been up all night with Hope. Hope has a really bad stomach ache, she is making a lot of poop and in pain when she makes poop. She also just vomited all over, Emma."
"Killian, I can bring my doctor bag with me, I was planning on coming over anyway. You both have no sleep?"
"Aye, barely."
"I will be coming over soon."
"Thank you, Allison." They ended their conversation. Emma was holding Hope back on her chest. "Allison is going to check on Hope when she comes over."
"I want to make sure everything is alright with our little girl. I know Hope is afraid of hospitals and having Allison coming here is better."
"Aye, I know love."
"Hope, your Auntie Allison is coming over to see if you are sick or not." Hope gripped her Mommy. "Hope, Mommy is going to hold you the whole time. Auntie Allison will play with you later too." Hope babbled. "I know you love your Auntie Allison so much. She will give you medicine to make you feel better."
"Mommy."
"You and I get to cuddle a lot." Hope babbled. "Yes, you and I need a bubble bath." Killian runs the bath for his two loves. "Love, I think this bubble bath will help with Hope."
"I think so too, it can relax her. I am going to join her bubble bath because I really need a bath too." Killian takes Hope out of Emma's arms and Hope began to cry.
"Little love, Mommy needs to get ready for your mother and daughter bath time. I got your toys already in the bathtub ready for you to play with." Hope stopped crying and listened to her Daddy. "That is right, my little pirate, you are going to have a bubble bath with your Mommy. I know the water will make you happy just like the ocean makes your Mommy and Daddy very happy." Hope gripped her Daddy's hook. "That is my little pirate princess." Emma smiles and gets something from the cabinet. "My two pirates." She kissed Killian on his cheek. "Hope, I got something to make our bath time more fun for you and me."
"Hope, your Mommy is up to something. Let's see what she is up to?"
Emma shows Hope a blue and green turtle bath bomb with different oils and with jelly. "Hope, look what special soap this is? A turtle!" Hope smiled. "That is right Hope, we are going to put this turtle in the bathtub and make our water change colors. Would you that be more fun?" Hope smiled.
"Swan? A bath bomb?"
"A bath bomb is in different shapes filled with oils, different smells and to make you relax. I got this the last time we were in New York with Hope and she helped me chose this turtle bath bomb. I save this special soap for an occasion to make Hope happy."
"Aye, I have a feeling Hope will like this bath bomb. I can drop it in while you and Hope get into the tub." Emma takes Hope.
"Hopey, bath time with Mommy." She takes Hope in the tub with her and Killian puts the turtle bath bomb in the water. "Look, Hope the turtle is making our bubble bath green and blue." Hope smiled.
"Love, Hope likes the water changing colors, she is smiling."
Emma smiled. " That is the first smile I have seen on her since she has been sick. I love making our baby girl happy." She kisses Hope on the head who was splashing around.
"Little love, are you enjoying your special bath time with your Mommy?" Hope babbled happily. "Killian, she is loving her time with her Daddy playing with her during bath time. Before you play more Hope, I got to get you clean first, my little duck."
"Love, I can help you clean her." He gets a soft towel and washed Hope as she was splashing around and her Mommy was holding her on her lap. "Little love, you love getting Daddy wet."
"Dada." Killian and Emma both smiled.
"She is our little pirate."
"Aye, she is our little pirate and a little duckling." Killian got Hope clean. "Love, I can hold Hope while you get yourself cleaned up." He watched Hope as she sits up in the tub while she is playing with her bath toys with her Daddy as Emma got herself clean. "Mommy."
"I see you are playing with Dada." Hope reached her arms out to her Mommy. Emma smiles."Hopey, when I am clean I can hold you on my lap." Hope began to cry. "Hope." She reaches over and gets her daughter. Hope held onto her Mommy. "We can snuggle during our bath time together."
"Hope is not feeling good."
"I know, she just wants her Mommy and not play during bath time."
"Hope will get better soon, love. I have a feeling bath bomb will be Hope new favorite part of her bath time with her Mommy."
"Hope and I will be buying a lot of lush products on our vacation." Hope babbled. "That is right, sweetie. We are going to have Mommy and Hope day in New York. Would you like that?" Hope placed her hand on her Mommy's face.
"Love, that is a yes from our little love."
Emma smiled at her little girl with so much joy even though Hope was sick, all she sees is happiness in her baby girl. She kisses Hope on the forehead. "She is looking forward to our Mommy and Hopey day in New York."
"She is loving her snuggle time in her bath time."
"Yes, she loves snuggling with her Mommy. Skin to skin in bath time is helping her feel better."
"Aye, our little lass is loving her special time with her Mommy." Emma gave Hope kisses on her head as Hope was resting on her chest. "Are you comfy on me?" Hope babbled. "We can snuggle all day sweetie."
"Dada?"
Emma and Killian looked at each other smiled. "Yes, Hopey. Dada can snuggle with us, too." Hope fell asleep. "Killian, can you pass me a towel and help me dry her up?"
"Aye, love." Killian gets Hope dry.
"Thank you."
"Your welcome, Love."
"It is getting cold and I do not want Hope to get more sick than she is already." Killian gets Hope from Emma so she can dry herself off and change into comfy clothes. Emma got Hope a clean diaper and changed Hope into a clean diaper and lotioned her up, who was fast asleep. Killian drains the bathtub and returns to seeing Hope fast asleep on their bed.
"Swan, your bath time with our little love tired her out."
"Hope is fast asleep. I am just hoping that she feels better soon. I think the turtle bath bomb made her sleepy. She was up all night anyway in pain." She lets Hope rest on her chest. Killian kisses Emma on the head. "She has you love, her amazing Mommy who is taking such good care for her when she needs you the most. She knows that her Mommy is going to be holding her and giving her so much love when she is sick."
"That is my job as her Mommy. I am going to be there for her when she needs me, I always will. You and I are going, to be honest with her always."
"Aye, that is right love."
"She has you and me. I saw how much fun she had with you during bath time and how she listened to you before bath time. Hope loves you so much, Killian."
"I am her dada and the both of us so much. We are team Swan-Jones."
"Yes, we are team Swan-Jones." They kiss and go back to the living room and snuggle together.
Emma looked around the living room with so many dirty diapers. "Something tells me that we are going to need more diapers and baby wipes."
"Aye, I can go buy them later, knowing how much we used during the night."
Killian kisses Hope on the head. "She is going to be alright love."
"I know Hope has been through worse. I just do not like seeing our little girl unhappy and sick."
"Aye, me too love. Hope is going to get better soon." He kisses Emma on the head and she fell asleep in her husband's arms. Henry wakes up knowing his parents and sister had a long night. He enters the living room seeing his Mom and sister sleeping on their Dad and scattered dirty diapers all over the living room. "Whoa... Dad, what happened in here?"
"Lad, your sister had a rough night. Hope is having a bad tummy ache all night. She only wants your Mom to hold her and in a lot of pain when she makes poop. She also vomited all over your Mom, they had a special Mommy and Hope bath time at 6:30 am, using a turtle bath bomb to help cheer Hope up and calm the lasses down from a long night of no sleep."
"Did you call Aunt Allison and told her that Hope was sick?"
"Aye, I did. She is coming over soon to check up on your sister. Are you doing anything today?"
"Not that I know of. Why?"
"I need your help."
"I can watch Hope."
Killian smiled. "We most likely need you to watch Hope later on today. Can you go to the grocery store for me?"
"Sure, what do you need me to buy?"
"Two large packs of diapers, three packs of baby wipes, and baby powder."
"I can go buy them now."
"Thank you, Henry." He gives him the money.
"Your welcome. I know Hope gave you and Mom a long night."
"Aye, your sister did."
"She has both of you and Mom with her."
"Aye, she has the both of us. Later, we all are going to plan our vacation."
"I cannot wait. Anything else you need from the store?"
"I think that is all lad. Thank you."
"Your welcome. I will be back." He kisses Hope on the head. "I love you, baby sister. You and I can read later." Henry leaves to the store. Killian enjoyed the quiet of his two loves sleeping on him, and he loves cuddling with his wife playing with her hair. A little while later, Hope had another poop explosion on her Mommy and Hope began to cry. Emma woke up to the smell of poop and Hope crying and sees the poop on her. "Hope, Mommy isn't mad that you pooped on me. I know that you aren't feeling well." She kisses Hope on the head. "Don't cry, Hope. I can never be mad at you sweetie."
"Love, I can change her."
"Your turn with our little stinker." She kisses Hope on the head. "I really need a shower."
Killian takes Hope from his wife. "Love, I can change her." He holds Hope on his chest. "Little love, do not cry, Mommy is not mad at you little love. She can never be mad at you. After I change you, would you like a pirate story? Will that makes you happy little love?" Hope gripped her Daddy and Killian kissed Hope on the head. Emma smiles seeing Killian calming down their little girl. Emma takes a long needed shower to clean off the poop also to relax from the long night she had with Hope even though she took a bubble bath with Hope an hour ago. She is hoping Hope is not too sick, she hates when Hope is sick.
Henry went to the grocery store by walking through town. It was still early in the morning, so the town was quiet. Henry found the diapers, baby wipes, baby powder that his sister needs. He also found hot chocolate packs and snacks for his family to use. On his way back home, he walked through town. He bumps into his Grandmother in front of Granny's. "Henry." He just ignores her and kept on walking. "Henry!" Henry turns around and looks at her mad. "Henry, I am so sorry for yelling at you. I was mad at your Mom for fighting with me."
"My mom was right and you were wrong." Allison was inside of Granny's buying breakfast for herself and Henry's family. She sees Snow White with Henry knowing that Henry is still mad at her and wants to prevent another family fight and heads to her nephew and Snow White. "Henry is everything okay?"
Henry looked relieved seeing his Aunt. "Hi, Aunt Allison."
"Henry, I am heading to your house. I can drive you there."
"Thank you, Aunt Allison. Can I carry your bags?"
Allison smiles. "Henry, I see you got your hands full. I am good. My car is across the street."
"Henry, I am sorry."
"Snow White, concentrate on your son to get his darkness under control then you can concentrate getting your trust to your daughter and her family." Allison put her arm around her nephew's shoulder. " Come, Henry." Henry crosses the street with his aunt. Allison drove her nephew to his house. "Thank you, Aunt Allison, for getting me out of that conversation. I did not want to talk to her, I am still mad at her for all she had done lately."
"I knew you did not want to talk to her after what she has done to you yesterday at school."
"Yes, she embarrassed me in front of the entire school, in denial that Leo hurt Hope and fighting with my Mom."
"Henry, I witnessed Leo hurting Hope, all of them. I am Hope's doctor, it is part of my job to report child abuse to social workers that Leo abused Hope and his school reported him to social workers too. I was tired of seeing your grandma fighting with all of you."
"Thank you for being in our family when my grandma or any other family member is causing trouble."
"Your welcome, Henry. Let's go to your house to check on your sister. I heard she gave your parents a long night."
"Yes, Hope did give my parents a long night. I saw them in the living room, Mom and Hope were sleeping on the couch with dirty diapers were scattered all over the floor." Allison parked her car in front of the Swan-Jones house. Henry carried his grocery bags inside, hearing Hope crying. "Dad, Mom I am back." Henry and Allison see his Dad with Hope. "I also brought Aunt Allison with me."
"Hope, Henry is back from the store and he brought Auntie Allison home with him, little love. Allison, Hope has been sick all night."
"I bumped into Henry in town and gave him a lift home. I also have breakfast for you all." She takes Hope from Killian.
"Thank you, Allison."
"Your welcome. Hi, Hope. I heard you are not feeling well. I am going to check on you, okay?" She kisses Hope on the head.
"Dad, where is Mom?"
"Hope had another poop explosion which landed all over on your Mom. She needed a shower."
"Didn't she just took a bath bomb bubble bath with Hope?"
"Aye, that she did. She needed another shower badly."
"I brought all of Hope diaper needs from the store and cinnamon hot cocoa. I have a feeling Mom will need this all weekend."
"Aye, thank you, lad. We all will need it." Henry went upstairs and put up all of Hope's diaper needs in her room. Emma was dressed in leggings and a long tee shirt. "Hi, Henry."
"Hi, Mom. I went to the store for Dad. I brought Hope diapers, a lot of baby wipes, baby powder and cinnamon hot chocolate for you. I know that is your favorite drink and mine too."
"Thank you, Henry." She hugs her son. "I know you and I are going to drink all of cinnamon hot chocolate all weekend."
"If you need a break, I can watch Hope for you."
"Your sister does not want to be held by anyone else but me."
"I can watch her in the same room as you while you take a nap."
Emma smiles, "I know Hope will be happy being with you and me. You will make Hope very happy."
"I will, Mom. I do not like it when Hope is sad. Aunt Allison drove me home from town, we bumped into each other."
"Oh, really?"
"Yes, she is with Hope and Dad downstairs." They go downstairs, Allison was holding Hope who was not crying at the moment.
"Hi, Allison. I see Hope is happy to see you."
"Hi, Emma. I just got Hope to stop crying. Your little girl loves her auntie." Hope babbled. "Yes, little niece, you are enjoying being held by me."
"She looks happier with you, all night she was crying in pain."
"Hope knows that I am going to make her feel better, right Hope?" Hope grabbed Allison's hair.
"Hopey, let go of your Auntie Allison's hair." Emma got Hope's hand of Allison's hair. Hope fussed. "Hope." Emma sat on the couch and puts Hope on her lap, as Killian and Henry moved around to give the lasses space for Hope's examination. "Hopey, Auntie Allison is going to play with you after she examines you, okay? We need to know why your tummy is in so much pain." She kisses Hope on the head and lies Hope on the couch. Allison sat nearby Emma and Hope. "Hope, I am going to see why your tummy hurts you, that is all I am doing Hope. No hospital and no needles." Hope reached out to her Mommy and she lets Hope hold her finger.
"Hope, I am right here sweetie. Mommy is staying right next to you. Auntie Allison is not going to hurt you with needles."
Allison put gloves on and examines Hope's organs in her by pressing on her belly, feeling if they were normal. "Interesting?"
"Allison? What do you mean interesting?"
"Her large intestine is a little bigger than normal." She pressed on the organ more. Hope began to cry.
"It is okay, baby girl. Auntie Allison needs to know why you are in pain." She rubs Hope's head.
"How is her poop? Watery?"
"Yes, watery." Allison can feel the poop.
"Hope has a bowel blockage, meaning something can cause her organ to have a blockage or she is constipated. For now, she needs medicines Pedialyte for her hydration and prune juice." Hope began to cry. Emma gets Hope from the couch. "Hopey, Mommy got you. I know your tummy hurts." She rubs Hope's back and Hope hugged her Mommy. "You give me the best hugs baby girl."
"Besides the Pedialyte and prune juice, Hope will need to only breastfeed not puree foods for a few days until her tummy is all better. Also, you can both try heating pads on her tummy so she won't be in too much pain."
"Love, I can go to the store now to get Hope her medicine, prune juice, and a heating pad."
"Thank you."
"Your welcome, love." They kiss. "Hope, you will be better soon, little love." He kisses Hope on the head and leaves the house.
"Allison, how long will Hope be in pain?"
"A few days depends on her bowel blockage. I know Hope has all three of you to take care of her she will be better in a few days. You can both call me if something happens if her bowel blockage gets worst or any questions. You can call me at any time. " Henry returns with his storybook and Hope's Pluto dolls. "Hope, look who I have." He shows Hope her big Pluto doll. Hope began to cry.
"Hopey. Henry was trying to make you feel better by making you happy." She bounces Hope up and down. "Henry, I know that you are only making Hope happy."
"Mom, I understand. Hope is not feeling well and she is in a lot of pain and she just wants you." He kisses Hope on the cheek. "Hope, I love you so much, little sis. When you are in less pain we can read or play together." Hope gripped on their Mom.
"Mommy."
"You are with Mommy little sis. Our Mommy is the best." He rubs Hope's cheek.
"Henry, you can play with Hope later when she is not too much pain." Hope cried louder. "Hopey, you and I are going to snuggle in your room. Mommy and Hopey time." Emma takes Hope up to her room and got Hope to snuggle on her in the rocking chair. "Hope Mommy got you, sweetie....do not cry...shh..shh...you are with Mommy sweetie...I know you are in pain. Daddy will be home soon with your medicine to help you feel better very soon. Until you get better, we can do a lot of snuggling okay?" Hope stopped crying and continued to hug her Mommy knowing her Mommy will do anything for her and be there for her. "I will always be there for you, Hope." She kisses Hope on the head and hugs her daughter as she rocked her in the chair. After a while of rocking Hope, she finally fell asleep. "I love you, Hope."
Killian got what Hope needed from the drugstore. As he walked to his car, he heard his name being called, "Killian." He sees his mother in law.
"Hi, Snow White."
"Hi, Killian. I saw Henry in town earlier."
"Aye, he was doing errands for me. I have to go, Snow White."
"Killian, how is Emma? When I am not around."
"Emma is happy with Henry and Hope and me." He gets a phone call. "Henry?"
"Hi, Dad. Hope needs her medicine. Hope is in pain."
"Henry, I am on the way home, lad." He ends his phone conversation with his son. "Snow White, I really have to go home."
"Killian, I miss my daughter. I want to be in her life again but whenever I see her we are in fights."
"Emma does not trust you."
"We have our opinions on Leo. I still think he is a good boy."
"That is why Emma doesn't trust you. You are going to let your son continue hurting children and your granddaughter?! He likes hurting for fun!"
"He will learn not to hurt for fun."
"Aye, how so? Are you going to get the help he needs?"
"We are. He still likes hurting for fun."
"Aye, you heard yesterday that she does not trust you with our daughter."
"Yes, I..I heard her loud and clear."
"Good, for now just do not talk to Emma because she does not want to talk to you. Every time, she talks to you she is just more stress and wife does not need to be more stress from you. I have to go."
"Killian, I want to be in my daughter's life again."
"Just give Emma the space she needs and get Leo's help he needs. The sooner Leo learns not to hurt people, the sooner you get the help that Leo needs the sooner you get Emma's trust back, which will take a long time for her to trust you again. I have to go." Killian put his drugstore bag in the car and drove home. He returns home to his family, the house was quiet. Allison and Henry were talking in the living room and eating breakfast. "Hi, Dad."
"Hi, Henry. I saw your grandmother, she told me that you saw her this morning."
"Yes, I am still mad at her and Aunt Allison got me in time before another fight happened."
"Aye, I told her that to get Leo's help that he needs and it will take a long time for your Mom to trust her again. Allison, are these the right medicines and prune juice for Hope?" Allison looks at the bag. "Yes, Killian. They are the right medicine and prune juice for Hope. Your wife and daughter are upstairs." Killian goes upstairs to see his wife and daughter snuggling together in Hope's room. He smiles at the site of mother and daughter together. Killian kisses Emma on the head."Killian, you are back."
"Yes, I am. How is our little love?"
"Hope is finally taking a nap. She was crying so much. All Hope wanted to do is be with me."
"She looks really comfy on you."
"Yes, Hope loves sleeping on her Mommy. I love my Hope hugs."
"When she wakes up, we can give her her medicine." He kisses Hope on the head. "Allison brought us breakfast."
"I will eat later..." Killian goes downstairs to get Emma her breakfast and returns to his wife. "Love, you need to eat."
"But Hope..."
"Aye, you need to eat love. Hope needs your milk later when she is hungry and you need to eat so you won't faint. You need to eat so you feed our little love."
"If I move, Hope will wake up." Killian gets an idea. He takes Emma's grilled cheese and puts it nearby her mouth.
"Really?"
"You have to eat love. I do not want you to be faint." Emma eats her sandwich, Killian was feeding his wife because she is tired and Hope is sleeping on her and she needed to eat before she faints from exhaustion and not eating. Killian's hand fed her sandwich to her. "Thank you."
"You are welcome, love. I know you are exhausted and hungry, and you are just being an amazing Mommy to our little love."
"I have you on my side, helping me."
"That is right love. I am your side.
"Always?"
"Always." They kiss. Hope woke up seeing her parents kissing.
"Hi, Hope. Did you have a good nap?" Hope babbled. 'Daddy brought home your medicine to make your tummy feel better."
"Aye, I will get a spoon, I will be right back." Killian returns with a spoon and Emma put a bib on Hope who makes more poop and began to cry. "Killian."
"I know love, Hope needs her medicine." Killian gets the prune juice ready. "Hope, the Jolly Roger needs a place to land." Hope cried more.
"Sweetie, you need to eat your medicine to make your tummy not hurt."
"Hope, open up the Jolly Roger needs a place to land, little pirate." Hope opens her mouth and ate most of her prune juice. Hope had a disgusted face. "Swan, I do not think Hope likes the taste of prune juice." They looked at Hope and giggled. Hope whimpered.
"Hope, Mommy will feed you to make the awful taste go away." Emma nurses Hope. "After I nurse her you can give her Pedialyte."
"Aye, I will give her her medicine."
"Thank you for helping me with Hope."
Killian wrapped his arm around his wife and daughter. "I am her daddy, I hate seeing our little love in pain and sick. I want to make Hope, not in much pain and happy as you do love."
"You are an amazing Daddy to both of our children."
"Aye, I have you on my side as their amazing Mommy."
"You fed me and not leaving my side with Hope...Why?"
"Why? What swan?"
"Never mind."
"Emma, tell me what is on your mind love?" Hope finished being nursed. Killian burps Hope. "Love, I can change her."
"That will be great, she really needs a change." Hope makes more poop when Killian puts Hope on the changing table. "Little love, I will change you when you finished. After Daddy will give you one more medicine." Hope babbled. "The prune juice will help you even though it is yucky little love. It will make your tummy feel better."
"No." Emma and Killian were surprised to hear Hope saying no. Emma goes to her daughter.
"Little love, are you saying no?" Hope babbled.
"Hope, did you say no sweetie?"
"Aye, she did."
"I have a feeling that we will be hearing Hope saying no more often." She let Hope hold her finger. "Hope, do you like prune juice?"
"No."
"She said it again love!"
Emma giggled. "You love saying no, no." She kisses Hope's belly and makes her laugh. "Yes, is going to be her fourth word." Killian changes Hope's diaper.
"You are all clean little pirate. One more medicine."
"Mommy." Emma takes Hope from the changing table and sits Hope on her lap on the rocking chair. "One more medicine. Later you can help Mommy and Daddy plan our family vacation." Hope babbled.
"Love, that is a yes from our little love."
"I have a feeling that will be her next word." Killian gets Hope's Pedialyte on a spoon, and made waves with the spoon, "Hope the Jolly Roger needs a place to land." Hope ate her medicine. "Hope, you ate your medicine, good Daddy's little pirate." He wiped off the extra medicine off of Hope's lips using her bib. Emma nurses Hope. "Killian, she loves her special game with her Daddy. Thank you for helping me with her, I do not know how single parents do this on their own."
Killian knew something was wrong with Emma. He wrapped his arm around his love "Love, I know something is on your mind. Can you please tell me what is wrong love?" He rubbed his wife's shoulder. "I am not going to judge you, you know that. I am always on your side. I know you are not alright, love. You are my wife and I know when you are not yourself." Hope stopped eating.
"Baby, are you full?" Emma burps Hope.
Killian takes Hope from Emma, "Little love, it is nap time." Killian puts Hope in her crib and she began to cry.
Henry comes up to check on his sister. "Mom, Dad how is Hope?"
"We just fed her medicine and prune juice. Your sister does not like prune juice."
"Can I watch her? Aunt Allison is downstairs."
"She does not want to take a nap."
"I can make sure Hope take a nap." Henry takes Hope out of her crib. "Hope, you want to spend time with me and Auntie Allison?"
"No."
"Hope, what did you just say?"
"No."
"Mom, Dad."
"We know, kid. We told her about prune juice and she said no."
"Hope, you can play with me downstairs. No prune juice." Hope babbled and reached out to their Mommy. "Hope, Mommy needs a break. We need Henry and Hope time."
"Mommy." Hope began to cry.
"Henry, your sister wants me." She takes Hope from her son. "Hope, you can play with Henry for a little while. Henry wants to spend time with his favorite sister, that is you. Later, you and I can snuggle day." Hope gripped her Mommy. "You can be with Mommy. Killian, she definitely takes after me."
"Aye, Hope takes after you."
Henry noticed that his Mom was not herself. "Mom, are you okay?"
"I am just tired, that is all. Hope kept me up all night."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, Henry. When Hope medicine kicks in, I know Hope will play with you later." Henry hugs his Mom. "I love you, Mom."
"I love you too, Henry." Hope fussed. "Hope, you need a nap?"
"No."
Emma acts surprise, "No!" She gave Hope kisses on her cheeks. "You are going to be napping on Mommy and Daddy's bed, little pirate." Emma takes Hope to their room.
"Dad, is Mom okay?"
"Henry, I know something is wrong with your Mom. I am going to listen to your Mom to talk to me whatever is the matter with her."
"I want to know."
"Lad, I will tell you."
"I know, she will tell you what is wrong with her. She always tells you everything."
Emma returns to Hope's room. "Henry, I just got Hope down for a nap in our room. Can you watch her?"
"Sure. I won't wake her up." Henry hugs his Mom. "Mom, if something is wrong you will tell me right?"
"Yes, Henry." She kisses her son on the head. "I am alright. I am just really tired."
"I know you are not yourself. You can tell me anything like you always do."
"I know, I can tell you and your Dad anything. For now, please watch your sister."
"I will." Henry goes to his parents' room and sits on the bed near his sister who was sleeping in the middle of their parents' bed with baby rails.
"Love, let's go for a walk."
"I do need some fresh air." Emma puts her red jacket on. Killian and Emma see Allison downstairs.
"Emma, how is Hope?"
"We gave her Pedialyte and prune juice, Hope did not like prune juice. She is napping in our room. Can you watch Henry and Hope?"
"Sure, I can. Are you okay?"
Emma holds her husband's hook. "Yes, I just need to talk to Killian."
"I can watch the kids for you, I am Hope's pediatrician." Emma hugs her best friend.
"Thank you, after all of Hope's surgeries, recovery and my feud with my Mom. You are on our side...thank you."
"Emma, you are my best friend and sister, I always help my family especially when I know my family members are right." Emma hugs her again.
"We won't be too long."
"Take your time."
"Henry is with Hope in our room." Killian and Emma leave their house. Killian wrapped his arm around his wife and they walk to their special spot.
"Emma, now that we are alone, love. Can you please tell me what is wrong?" Emma looked directly into Killian's ocean blue caring concerned for her and he will help her no matter what and can tell him anything.
"I...You...you are my everything. I can lean on you and tell you anything...what do I deserve to have you in my life? I am not perfect..."
"Emma, I love you for who you are. You changed me for the better. I fell in love you with when we first laid eyes on each other in the Enchanted Forest before we knew each other...you are perfect to me love. You are perfect for the way you are then and now. You changed me for the better love. Now we have our family, you are my beautiful strong brave wife and you are an amazing Mommy to Henry and Hope."
"I do not get..."
"What Emma? What you do not get?"
"How I have you on my side...I used to have no one at all until Henry found me and changed my life. When he brought me here, I was walled up and I found my parents. I could not be open up to them as quick as I was open to you...I only opened up to Henry. When I met you....you broke my walls...I...I feel like this is all just a dream being married to you, having Henry and having Hope at home altogether. I just feel if I do not fight for our family...I will lose everything..."
Killian hugs his wife. "Love, you are not going to lose me ever again. Zeus sent me down here to get back to you for helping you to defeat Hades. Zeus knows that you and I have true love and we are going to be together for a very very long time. I am not going anywhere."
"How do I deserve you?"
"Emma, you are a very kind caring, brave selfless woman who had a very awful upbringing alone and in that bloody awful foster system where you did not deserve to be abused by those awful bloody people. You survived and did not do drugs and you were just a good person who got caught up with Neal who was an asshole to you. You have Henry and Hope and they love you so much. You are their amazing Mommy. I am so grateful every day for having you in my life who changed me to be a good person and we have our children who love you and they will always have you their Mommy." Emma began to cry and hugs her Killian. He just hugs her back and rubs her back as she cried into him. "You are amazing human being love. You are my everything for who you are and you surprise me every day. In my eyes Emma, you are perfect for who you are. What is making you think that I do not deserve you?"
"Everything with this family feud, you are on my side. You are caring and supporting me and fighting for me...how do I deserve you?"
"Emma look at me." Emma looks right into Killian deep ocean blue eyes. "You are my wife, the mother of our children and my best friend. I love you so much. I will always be on your side because you always are brave and sticking up for others. I am your husband and I hate to see when my wife in any danger or in a fight, I want to be on your side when you need me no matter what happens, I always protect my loved ones my family, especially you, Emma."
"You were on my side always. You are the only one that I can count on with Hope. Henry and Allison, I trust watching Hope. I am not nervous leaving her with them but..." He rubs his wife's hands. "Love, you can tell me."
"I do not trust with my Mom with Hope!! I do not trust my Mom with our little girl. What type of daughter I am not trusting my Mom!"
"Emma, you do not trust your mother because she got Hope inured and Hope needed surgeries to recover from that serious injury." Emma tears up.
" I am afraid that if I let her watch Hope she will bring Leo over and he will hurt our daughter and he will kill her this time! I am afraid that my dream that I had of Leo hurting Hope will come true! That if I do not protect and fight for my daughter, my mom will bring Leo will hurt Hope and she will be injured or dead. I am not losing our baby girl. I am not going to lose our daughter and have our family destroyed." Killian held her but she shrugged his hug and looked him in the eyes. "All of my life I have had broken families. I do not want our family to be broken. I lost you once and it was beyond awful, the worse feeling I ever had. I knew I could not move on without you even though I promised you to move on. When you come back to life, I knew you were not going to go anywhere...With Hope almost losing her and not trusting my brother and my mom...I am afraid that we are going to lose our baby girl and not get her back...that we will lose her forever and our family will be broken like all of the families that I had in the system...I am not going to lose our family. I am going to fight for our family until this feud ends." By the end of her sentence, she was hyperventilating. Killian wrapped her in his arms and rubbed her back as she cried.
"Emma, I am your side. I do not want our family to be broken. I promised myself when I got married to you that our family will be together and not broken and I am going to be on your side fighting for our family. Our family is never going to be broken, I promise you that, love. You have me on your side. Leo is not going to hurt Hope. Hope has her Daddy, Henry and her Mommy to protect her and make sure Leo does not hurt Hope ever again. I promise you, love, that our family that we created is not going to be broken. I have broken up families in my revenge days since I met you I changed for the better, to keep families together. I know you do not trust your Mom. I saw your face when you saw her yesterday, wall closing on your heart. It is my job to make sure you do not get hurt and to keep your walls down. I promise you, Emma, that we are not going to lose our little love. Our family is not going to be broken, Hope has all of us to protect her."
"Hope has all of us to protect her."
"Yes, love. She has Henry, Allison, you and I to protect her. She is not going anywhere, love. She is going to be with us. Leo is not allowed in our house and your Mom..."
"I do not trust my Mom..."
"I know, love. I understand why love. Your Mom knows that Leo is not allowed in our house..."
"After yesterday's fight, I lost my trust in her fully. That when I got thinking that I have you..."
"You are my true love and I will always be on your side. I love how you are fighting for our children and you are my brave strong wife. It is my job to protect you and our children. Our family is not to be broken, love. Our family will never be broken love, not on my watch." Emma hugs Killian, she felt relieved that she has him in her life and someone her side no matter what. "You are not alone, Emma. You have me, you are never going to be alone with our children who love you so much as I do, love." Emma cries into Killian. Killian hugs his wife.
"I love you so much, Killian."
"I love you so much, Emma. You can always come to talk to me love."
"With everything that has been going on with Hope, I needed to talk to you. I love Hope but with no sleep and you are helping me with Hope last night...it just reminds me how lucky that I am to have you every step of the way as parents."
"Swan, we are team Swan-Jones, we work together as parents to make sure our children get what they need and to help them especially when they are sick."
"I do not like when Hope is sick."
"I know, love. Me too. She is very lucky that she has you and me to care for her when she is sick."
"Yes, I love my extra Hope time."
"I see how much Hope loves, her extra time with her Mommy."
"She loves her extra time with her Daddy too."
"Aye, she loves the extra time with the both of us, her Mommy and her Daddy."
"Team Swan-Jones?"
Killian smiles. "Aye, team Swan-Jones." They kiss.
They heard a huge splash, a ship popped out of the ocean from a portal. "Bloody hell."
"Killian, that is Prince Eric's ship." Prince Eric's ship landed nearby them.
"Help!! I need help!!"
"Killian, something is wrong!" They rushed onto the ship.
"Prince Eric, it is Emma and Killian. What is the problem?"
"It is Ariel, she is in labor."
"Eric, we need to get Ariel to the hospital right now. Where is she?"
"In my captain quarters."
"Killian, get our car. We are driving them to the hospital." Killian rushes to their house to get their car. Emma rushes to Ariel who was having contracts. "Ariel, I am here."
"Emma!" Emma holds Ariel's hands as she was having a contraction. "You are here..."
"Yes, I am. Killian and I were at the docks, and we saw your ship. He is getting our car so we can drive you and Eric the hospital."
"I am afraid."
"You have Eric at your side. You are going to do great. When you get a contract to take deep slow breaths, that will help with the pain." Eric rushes in.
"Ariel, Killian is here." Emma and Eric lead Ariel off the ship, and Killian opened the door for Ariel.
"Hi, Killian."
"Hello, Ariel. You and Eric can sit in the back. Emma and I will get you to the hospital."
"Thank you.." Ariel holds her baby belly and her water breaks.
"Killian, we have to get them to the hospital now." Killian drives them to the hospital. "Ariel, take slow deep breaths while you are having a contraction. I know it hurts just breathe through the pain. We are almost there."
"Love, I called Allison and told her what happened. She is going to watch Hope and Henry."
"How is Hope?"
"The medicine is working and Henry is playing with her." They reached the hospital.
"Killian, I am going to be with them, Ariel will need my help to understand how the hospital works and how labor is."
"Aye, I will be nearby." Killian gets a wheelchair and Eric pushes Ariel in the wheelchair.
"Swan." He holds his wife's hand and they kiss. "You are being a strong brave wife."
"I am just helping Ariel."
"Love, you are being a true friend and that is my beautiful caring wife."
Emma smiles. "I will see you later." They kiss. Emma catches up to Ariel and Eric.
Killian head to the waiting room, he sees Henry, Hope, and Allison. "Hope, we are with Daddy, little sis."
"Lad, what are you doing here?"
"Hope is still not feeling well and she missed you and Mom so we decided to come here."
Killian takes Hope from Henry. "Hi, little love. You are with Daddy. I missed you so much when Mommy and Daddy had to talk in our special spot. Mommy is being sheriff now and a being good friend making sure our good friend Ariel is alright having her baby in the hospital. " Hope hugged her Daddy.
"Killian, how is Emma?"
"We had a long talk."
"Dad, is Mom alright?"
"I will tell you both at the same time." Killian sits down with Hope who fell asleep in her Daddy's arms. "Emma had a nightmare last night about Henry and Hope being in danger and no matter what she did, she couldn't get to you both in time...then this morning, Emma thought back to her big fight with your grandma. Henry, it was a bad fight. Your Mom told her, well screaming at her that she doesn't trust her with Hope because she is afraid your grandma would bring Leo if she watches Hope and Leo will hurt Hope or worst.." He looks down at his sleeping daughter. "Or Leo ends up killing her."
"Dad, Leo is not going to be anywhere near Hope. Hope is not going to get hurt from Leo again."
"I know, lad. Hope has your Mom, you and me to protect her. I told your Mom that, she knows but she is just worried. She doesn't want her family to be broken."
"Dad, I know Mom went through that horrible foster system. I know she is afraid that she will lose us but she sacrificed herself many times for this town, I just know Mom is not to lose us."
"That what I told her lad. She is not going to lose any of us."
"Henry, your Mom is not going to lose all of you. From what your Mom told me, she is a fighter and I saw it a few times, she loves you both so much. She is not going to lose her family."
"Aye, exactly Allison. She tells me that you are in our family, which you are. She only trusts you, Henry and I with Hope."
"I understand why."
"Aye, she is an overprotective Mommy." Hope wakes up and makes poop. "Little love, do you need a diaper change?" Hope babbled. "Aye, I will change you." Henry hands him the diaper bag and Killian goes to the bathroom to change Hope's diaper.
Emma helped Ariel get signed in on the labor and delivery floor since they are from a different realm, Emma got her doctor, Dr. Claire to deliver Prince Eric and Ariel's child. Ariel was all wired up and on monitors with Eric on her side in the labor and delivery room. Emma brought in ice chips. "Hi, I brought in ice chips."
"What are they used for?"
"For you to melt on since you cannot drink any liquid during labor." Ariel gives her a look. "It is the rules, I do not know the reason." She hands Ariel the ice chips. "I know you are in a lot of pain now when your baby comes, it will be worth it. I have my doctor, Dr.Claire, who will help you and explain to you what your about to do. You are going to be afraid but you in good hands with her. When your baby comes it will be worth it. Do you know what you are having?"
"No, we do not have the type of magic in our realm to know about the gender. It is going to be a surprise." Ariel has another contraction. After her contraction, "How is your baby girl?"
Emma smiles, every time when she loves to talk about Hope. "Hope is our baby girl. She is almost ten months old. She is crawling around and she loves being with me, her Daddy and Henry."
"Killian loves Hope?"
"He is over the moon, he really loves Hope. Hope has her hand around his hook. Hope loves the ocean and loves being with me. He loves spoiling our little girl." They both chuckled.
"Killian, really has changed since he met you?"
"Yes, he fell in love with me and he changed for the better." Ariel gets another contraction.
"This hurts so much."
"Ariel, hold my hand. Our baby is coming soon." Eric rubs his wife's back.
Emma gets a call from her Dad. "Eric..."
"Emma, you got us here. I got it everything from here."
Emma leaves the room and answers her phone call. "Hi, Dad."
"Hi, Emma. I got a call from Henry that Prince Eric's ship is in our docks."
"Yes, Killian and I were at the docks when their ship popped out of a portal from the ocean. We heard Eric calling for help, Ariel was in labor."
Charming smiled."Ah, they are having a baby."
Emma smiled."Yes, they are, Dad. We drove them to the hospital. I helped Ariel understand everything that was going to happen to her and got my doctor to deliver their baby."
"That is good to know. I told Belle already that they arrived and she is going to visit them later."
"That is great. Killian and I did not expect to work today and we were at the right place at the right time."
"How is Hope?"
"Hope has a bowel blockage, so Killian and I were up all night with her. Allison came over and gave us medicine that she needs." Emma hears a crash. "Dad?"
"Leo broke something. I will talk to you later."
"Bye, Dad." They ended their phone conversation. Emma went to find Killian in the waiting room seeing Killian holding Hope with Allison and Henry. Emma sits down with her family."Henry."
"Mom." He hugs his Mom. "We wanted to come and Hope really missed you and Dad."
Allison approaches. "Hi, Emma. I heard from Killian that Ariel, the little mermaid is having a baby?"
"Yes, that is right. We saw their ship coming through a portal and we got to them just in time. Killian drove us to the hospital and I helped Ariel understand how labor is and how the hospital works in this realm."
"Aye, in their realm or in other realms there are no hospitals. Swan, Hope wants her Mommy." Emma takes Hope into her arms. Killian sits next to his wife. "Hi, baby. Did you have fun with Henry and Auntie Allison?" Hope hugged her Mommy. "You and I can snuggle for the rest of the day. Mommy and Daddy had to be sheriff to help Ariel and her husband. Ariel is having a baby, their baby is going to be a new friend for you to play with."
"Emma, Hope medicines are working. Let's just say, Henry how do we put his?"
"I can say it, Aunt Allison. Mom, Hope was being a mini you?"
"Kid, how so?"
"She kept crying and calling out for you. She was being stubborn."
"Your sister definitely takes after me. I am sure Hope had fun with you. Allison, is Hope's medicine working?"
"Yes, it is Emma. Hope was being stubborn when she kept saying no to us feeding her prune juice."
Killian and Emma both laughed "Hope is definitely my daughter." Hope was fast asleep.
"I changed her into a onesie and fed her medicine right before we came. I also packed her medicine just in case you are here for a while."
"Thank you for watching Hope and Henry. I know Hope gave you a rough time with her being sick."
"It was no problem. Henry and I talked a lot and gave me an art lesson when Hope was napping."
"Mom, Aunt Allison is improving."
"I have a great art teacher." Hope wakes up fussing.
"Sweetie, are you hungry?" Killian hands Emma the cover and she nurses Hope. After Hope nursed for a long time. "Emma, I have to go home."
"Allison, thank you for coming by to check on Hope and for watching her and Henry."
"You are welcome." She picks up Hope. "Hope, when you are better we are going to have girl talk at my house, with you, Mommy and me." Hope babbled and Allison kisses Hope on the head. She hands Hope back to Emma. Henry hugs his aunt. "Allison, I had fun with you today."
"I had so much fun with you and Hope today. I know we will see each other soon." Allison turns around, "Emma and Killian call me if you have any concerns of Hope's bowel blockage."
"Aye, thank you so much for taking care of Hope."
"You are welcome, Killian." Allison leaves.
Hope was awake sitting on her Mommy's lap. "Hope, are you happy that you are with Mommy and Daddy?" Hope babbled. Emma kisses Hope on the head.
"Hope, do you want a story?" Hope smiled. Henry took his storybook out.
"Little love, did you miss Daddy too?" Hope grabs his hook.
"Killian, that is yes from our little pirate." Henry read a few stories from his storybook until a nurse came to get them. "Family of Ariel?" Emma stands up holding Hope.
"That is us."
"Ariel had a baby girl and they are ready for visitors. They are in room 232."
"Thank you." The nurse leaves. "Hope, you have a new friend that is close to your age to play with." Hope smiled.
"Love, do you want to see the newest member of Henry's storybook?"
"Yes." Hope fussed. "Killian, Hope wants her Daddy to hold her."
"Aye, come here my little pirate princess, let's go see your new friend." Killian holds Hope as they went together to see Ariel and Eric. They entered the room, Eric opened the door. "Hi, everyone come in."
"How did it go?"
"Emma, Ariel did amazing in there. We have a daughter. Is this Hope?"
"Aye. Hope say hi to Prince Eric from the little mermaid." Hope babbled.
"Nice, to meet you, Hope. Please come in."
Emma sees Ariel holding a baby girl in her arms with a lot of black hair which she inherited from her Dad. "Hi, Ariel."
Eric sat down next to his wife and baby daughter. "Hi, Emma, Killian, and Henry. We would like you to meet our daughter, Melody."
"Awe, Melody. Ariel that is a beautiful name."
"Do you want to hold her?"
Emma smiled. "Yes." Emma put hand sanitizer on and Ariel hands over her baby girl. Melody fussed. Emma bounced Melody up and down. "Hi, Melody. I am Emma." Killian saw Emma smiling big. "Hope, that is your friend Melody that your Mommy is holding. When Melody comes over to play when she is bigger you two will have so much fun together."
"Killian, Hope, and Melody will become friends. Can I hold Hope?"
"Aye, you have not met Hope yet. Little love, this is Ariel, Daddy's friend." He hands over Hope to Ariel.
"Hi, Hope. I am Ariel." Hope babbled.
"Hope loves your movie, Ariel."
"Oh, really?" She talks to Hope. "Hope, your Mommy told me you like my movie. What is your favorite part?" Hope babbled.
"Aye, Hope loves the ocean, the fishes, and your song in your movie."
"I sing in this movie Hope?" Hope babbled.
"Ariel, that is yes from Hope. I sing to her the little mermaid song, called Part of Your World, it is her favorite song that I sing to her." Henry took pictures of his Mom holding princess Melody and Ariel holding his baby sister for the first time.
"Ariel, Hope loves the ocean like our Dad. She is a little pirate princess."
"Hope is a pirate princess, which means Melody is a princess of the land and the sea, a mermaid princess."
"That is right, Ariel. She is the princess of both worlds."
"Eric, your little princess looks a lot like you. Sorry, Ariel."
Ariel chuckles." Emma, I have a feeling Melody will take after me who will love the ocean." Melody began to cry. Killian takes Hope from Allison as Emma hands over Melody back to her Mommy. Hope began to cry and reaches out to her Mommy. "Swan, Hope wants her Mommy." Emma takes Hope from her husband.
"Hope, did you just meet Ariel from the Disney movie you watch at home? Like the little mermaid song I sing to you?" Hope hugged her Mommy. "I know you are not feeling well, sweetie. We are going home soon."
Killian looks at Melody. "Ariel, she is beautiful."
"Thank you, Killian. I love her so much already." She kisses Melody on the head. "Hope looks a lot like you."
Killian smiles. "Oh, really? Most people tell us Hope looks like Emma."
"I can see you in her. You are a great Daddy to Hope."
"Aye, I love my little lass and lad."
"Ariel, Dad is great with Hope and I. Where were you traveling too when you went into labor?"
"We were traveling home to our realm from another realm, then I went into labor. We used a magic bean to come here. Melody wanted to come home with us."
"She is cute."
"Thank you, Henry. Melody say hi to Henry."
"I know when she is bigger, Hope and Melody will play a lot together."
"Yes, they are going to be friends."
Emma sits on the bed "Ariel, Hope's first birthday is April 20th. We are having a party, you three are welcome to join us."
"Emma, we would love to join Hope's first birthday." Hope fussed in her Mommy's arms.
"Hope, do you want to say hi to your new friend Melody?" Hope smiled. Killian gets Hope from his wife and Ariel let Hope sit next to her, with Killian's hands behind Hope just in case she falls off the bed. Ariel put Melody close to Hope so she can see her daughter. "Hope, can you say hi to Melody?" Hope reached over to touch Melody who was awake and babbled to her new friend. Melody made a small sound. Henry took pictures of his sister interacting with Melody. All of the parents were in awe of Hope's interacting with the new mermaid princess. "Hope, you are being so nice to Melody, little love."
"Dada." Killian and Emma both smiled. "I see you are talking to your new friend little love."
"Hope, you are being so nice to Melody. You are her first friend. Your daddy and I met a long time ago and he helped me find Prince Eric and I helped him traveling between realms." Hope began to cry.
Killian gets Hope from the bed. "Little love, are you not feeling well?" Hope gripped her Daddy. "We are going home now, little love. Ariel, Hope has a bad tummy ache we have to get her home."
"Hope, we have a new part of Ariel's story in my book to read later, little sis." Henry kisses Hope on the head.
"Ariel, if you need anything call me. I do have experience being a first time Mom."
"Thank you, Emma. I know that Eric and I won't be getting enough sleep for a long time."
"Hope is almost ten months old and we have not had a whole night sleep ever since she has been born but we have help from Henry, who is our babysitter."
"Ariel, my Mom is the best to come for advice on parenting."
"Henry." She hugs her son. "You are the best."
"Mom, you are the best."
"How long are you in Storybrooke?"
"I am not sure, Eric?"
"I think once we get the okay to leave, my two princesses and I will sail back to our realm."
"I have the perfect gift for you and Melody, Ariel." She uses her light magic to poof up a pink baby carrier. "Ariel, this is a carrier where you can strap in Melody and you can carry her around everywhere. It works on sailing trips trust me. My little pirate princess is in the carrier as we sail around here. It will be safer for Melody to travel in on your ship, especially between realms."
"Emma, thank you for getting to us on time. I do not know what we have done if we did not see you and Killian."
"You are very welcome, Ariel. You were always helping us when we needed something from another realm."
"Aye, you helped us and we help you today. We know something was wrong when we saw your ship coming out of a portal."
"Killian and I are happy that we brought you here on time."
"Yes, you did." Hope cried more.
"Love, Hope wants her Mommy." Emma takes Hope from Killian.
"Hopey, Mommy got you. We are going to go home baby."
"Love, I can meet you in the car."
"Okay. Hope needs to get her medicine soon. I can meet you out front with the car. " They kiss.
"Little love, Dada will tell you a pirate story when we get home." He kisses Hope on the head. "Henry, can you please carry the diaper bag?"
"I got it, Mom. Ariel, I know Melody will be a little bigger by the time you all come to Hope's birthday party."
"I will bring Hope a special gift that will remind her of my movie." Emma carries Hope and Henry followed his Mom and sister. "Killian, when I met you I thought you were a selfish pirate. When you told me that you were in love with Emma. and how much you cared for her...now I have just seen a whole different side of you as a Daddy. You are amazing with Hope and Henry."
"Aye, thank you, Ariel. Emma has changed my whole life around once I first laid eyes on her. She made me a Daddy to our little love and from what my father has done to me abandoning me, I will never do that to my family."
"Killian, you are a good person. Hope and Henry love you so much. I know you are never going to leave your family."
"Aye, I know your little Melody is going to be like Hope, a princess and loves the ocean."
"She is part mermaid."
"Aye, the mermaid princess. I have a feeling our little lasses will be the best of friends."
"Yes, they will." Melody began to cry. "Are you hungry, baby?"
"I have to get my family home."
"I will see you around, if not I will see you all on Hope's birthday. Thank you for saving the day."
"You are welcome, Ariel, it is part of Emma and my job. Bye, Melody. Hope is happy to have a new princess friend who loves the ocean just like her." Killian leaves. Emma was waiting for him in their car and they drove home together. When they arrived home, Henry read Hope her favorite story, about their Mommy. Killian and Emma gave Hope her medicine and prune juice, Hope gave them a hard time. "No."
"Hope, it is only a little bit of prune juice. It will help your tummy, sweetie. Killian."
"Aye, let me try." Emma holds Hope in her lap. "Little love, you met your first friend today. I know that you and Melody are going to best of friends do you know why?" Hope looked at her Daddy. "You both are princesses, you are a pirate princess and Melody is a mermaid princess. You two are princesses that love the ocean." Hope babbled. "That is right, I know when you two are older you two are going to swim in the ocean together at the beach or at their castle. Would you like that?" Hope got excited and babbled loudly, which made her parents chuckle. "Hope, after you eat your prune juice, I can tell you a pirate story."
"Mommy."
"Aye, little love, Mommy will join our story time." He gets the prune juice ready, "Hope, the Jolly Roger needs a place to land." Hope ate her prune juice and Emma saw Hope was about to cry.
"Mommy is coming to the rescue." Emma nurses Hope. "The taste of prune juice will be gone soon, baby." She kisses Hope on the head as she was being fed. After Hope was fed, Killian told Hope a pirate story until Hope fell asleep, which did not take too long. Killian and Henry cooked dinner for the family. Hope was sleeping on her Mommy in the living room. "I love my Hopey hugs. You give the best hugs, Hope." She gave Hope multiple kisses on her head. "I love you, Hope."
Killian smiles seeing Emma enjoying her one on one time with their little love. After dinner, Henry took a shower and went to bed since they were at the hospital for most of the day. Killian and Emma were in their room, Hope was sleeping in the cradle next to her parents. "She is sound asleep, love."
"I love being a mommy to her and Henry."
"They both have you as their amazing brave mommy and they love you so much." He wrapped his arm around his love and they cuddle. "You did amazing today love."
"I did?"
"Aye, you sprung into action when Eric needed help to get Ariel to the hospital. You took charge once Ariel needs us to get her into the hospital in time to have her baby."
"I did not want her to have her baby on her ship. I got Ariel my doctor, someone who I trust to help my friend. I wanted her to be comfortable in labor especially being in a new place confused what is going on with her body like I was when I had Henry at seventeen and had no idea what was going on..." Killian kissed his wife on the head and hugged his wife.
"You got Ariel to the hospital in time with your smart thinking and made her feel safe and told her what was going to happen. She had her husband with her, she was not alone love. You got them to the hospital in time and made sure Ariel got the right help she needed during childbirth."
"Yes, now our little girl has a new best friend."
"Aye, a little mermaid princess. "
"Yes, I have a feeling Ariel will bring Melody over and they will have playdates. Hope loves her already. You saw how much Hope was happy being around her new friend. It was so adorable. She did not cry or anything she was happy to be around Melody."
"Aye, I have a good feeling that they are going to become the best of friends."
"Yes, they are going to be close as possible even between the different realms. Killian.."
"Yes, Emma?"
"Thank you for letting me cry and express my feelings you to at our special spot. I really needed to talk to you alone..."
"You can always talk to me love, you know that."
"I can tell you anything without being judged. When I look at you, I can just tell you anything."
"Aye, I do have my dashing good looks."
Emma smiled. "It is not just your looks just your personality that I can tell you anything and you listen and care on what I have to say."
"Aye, I will always be there for you and talk to me about anything, especially about your emotions. My job is to keep your emotional walls down."
Emma smiled. "You are still the first person in my life that actually put me first before anything else when you traded your ship for me. That is when I knew that you really cared for me and loved me for who I am..."
"You are the love of my life. I had to get back to you and bring you home. Now we have our Swan-Jones family of our own and I couldn't imagine my life without you. You changed me for the better and I am always going to be on my side, especially defending my wife when you need me."
"You are always there for me."
"Aye, I will always be there for you as you are there for me love."
"I love you, Killian."
"I love you, Emma." Emma kisses Killian on the lips. They kiss until Emma gets so tired that she falls asleep on her husband's chest hugging him. Killian did not move, he did want to disturb his wife sleep on top of him because she barely had slept with Hope being sick and had a very busy emotional day by venting her feelings about their little love, her worries, he always there for her as she always there for him. They did not expect to work, being sheriff and deputy, by guiding Ariel and Eric to have their baby girl Melody to the hospital. Emma did amazing helping their friend in labor. Now Hope has a best friend who is also a princess who is going to love the ocean like her as they get older. He is so proud of his wife, of being a mommy to their children and being a sheriff and kind friend all in one day. He knows Emma is exhausted from their very long day as parents and as sheriff. Killian kisses Emma's blonde head."Good night, Emma. Get all the sleep you can. You did amazing love as a sheriff and Mommy today. I am so proud of you. You will always have me on your side, always." He hugs his wife and falls asleep to the quiet of Hope and Emma sleeping the same room as him, his two loves. He wouldn't trade anything for his life with his family more than anything in any realm. His family is all he cares about better than revenge on everything that happened. He is focused on his family on being an amazing husband to Emma and Daddy to Henry and Hope.
