The family spent Christmas morning eating pancakes and opening presents around the tree. The day was everything and more that the both of them had always dreamed of as children. They both finally had a family and people who loved and cared about them.

They left Storybrooke a couple of days after Christmas. Emma had scheduled an appointment with her doctor to confirm her pregnancy, but she was nervous about going to it. Killian had assured her he would go with her and be there every step of the way.

They were sitting in the waiting room, Emma squeezing his hand tightly out of nerves. Killian leaned over and kissed the crown of her head.

"It'll be alright, Darling. I promise you that." He whispered. "I know you're nervous about all of this, but I'm always going to be here with you.."

She glanced up at him with a tiny smile. "Thank you.. I love you." She whispered.

"I love you too." He held her close until her name was called. He thought she'd want him to stay in the waiting room, but she refused to let go of his hand as she got up. Killian nodded a little and followed her back.

The doctor did some blood work and ran some standard tests to make sure Emma was healthy before turning to them. "This isn't your first pregnancy, correct?" She asked Emma.

Emma shook her head. "No, I had a son.. Um, eleven years ago." She said softly, holding tighter to Killian's hand.

She nodded. "Alright." She smiled gently. "Nothing appears to be wrong in any of the tests, so how about we look for this baby of yours?"

Emma nodded, a smile pulling at her lips. Sitting here, Killian holding her hand, she couldn't help but smile a little at the thought of seeing their baby for the first time. Killian pressed a kiss to her head as the doctor got the ultrasound machine ready. When she found the baby she turned the screen so Emma and Killian could both see it.

"Right here is your baby. Looks healthy and perfect." She smiled pointing to a small spot on the screen. "Would you like a couple of prints of the ultrasound?"

Killian nodded. "Aye, that would be wonderful." He smiled a little. "Can you tell when the babe should be born?"

She nodded. "Based off the size and development I can see I'd say you are about seven or eight weeks along.. I'd put the due date in about July. I wasn't sure we'd be able to hear it today, but I've found the heartbeat if you'd like to hear it."

Killian nodded. "Thank you, Doctor." He kissed the top of Emma's head as she nodded at him. "That would be wonderful, to hear the heartbeat."

The doctor nodded and played it for them for a few moments. She then handed them the prints of the sonogram. "Both mom and baby look to be in perfect health. I'd like to see you again in a few weeks, Emma, you can make your appointment on your way out. Congratulations."

Emma nodded a little. "Thank you." She said softly, sitting up after cleaning her stomach off.

The doctor left them, and Killian held her hand as they walked to the reception desk to schedule her next appointment. Emma was quiet as he drove them home, but she kept her hand on his leg, needing the comfort he provided.

Once they had changed and had settled together on the couch, Killian kissed her temple. "Do you want to talk about it, Love?"

"I.. I just can't believe it's real.. I mean, I know I took the test and I knew, but now it's real.. We saw the baby.. Our baby." She said softly, nestling her head beneath his chin, her fingers toying with his necklace.

Killian rubbed her back gently. "I know we didn't think we'd be in this position so soon, or maybe ever.. But I want to be honest with you.. Seeing our baby on that screen today, even though the babe is but a few inches.. It was something I never thought I'd experience, thank you.."

Emma nodded against his chest. "I am happy, Killian.. I hope you know that. I'm just overwhelmed." She kissed his chest.

He nodded. "I know you are, Swan.. I know you're still getting used to the idea, and you're still not feeling the best, but I'm so grateful you're giving me a chance to be a father. I love you more than anything, and I'm right by you through this entire thing."

She leaned up and kissed his jaw. "I love you too, Killian.. And I know I'm not as happy as you probably wished I was, but I want to have this baby with you.. I want to give you a family.. A little baby Jones.." She smiled a little.

He held her tightly. "Our baby Jones." He whispered. "I don't care that you're not jumping up and down excited. You told me you wanted this, you've still got your reservations and I understand. But never forget that I'm always here for you. If you need to talk about your fears, or if you just want someone to hold you when your emotions overwhelm you." He kissed her softly. "You're my wife, and I'm not going anywhere. No matter what happens, I'm your husband and I will always love you."

She kissed him deeply, trying to show him how she feels. "Now, let's look at our little bean.." She said softly.

Killian grabbed a copy of the sonogram and held her as they looked at it. "That's our baby, Love.. A child made out of our love.." He said softly, his prosthetic moving to rest against her stomach. "I hope our baby has your fight in them.. Your unwillingness to let anyone tell you who to be or how to act.."

Emma let herself smile at the awe in his voice. She ran her finger over the picture. "Yeah, our baby.. It is kind of crazy to think about huh? That we created this little thing.. Together."

"Aye, it is crazy to think about. I never thought I would amount to anything like this. But here I am with the most wonderful, beautiful wife, pregnant with our baby.. Whom I already love so much." He ran his fingers through her hair gently.

Emma nodded. "You're going to be such a perfect father.. That thought alone makes me more confident in my ability to raise this child with you. I can do this knowing I have you to do all of it with." She smiled at him. "Can I ask you something?"

"Of course, Love.. You can always ask me anything." He assured her.

"Um.. I know my mom already knows about the baby, but.. But can we keep it to ourselves and not tell anyone for a while? I just don't want something bad to happen, and then have to tell everyone.." She said softly.

"Aye, I understand.. I don't mind waiting to tell others. Liam has been asking about you, but I'll just tell him you're fine and to back off. I just want you to be content." He kissed her head.

"Thank you, I promise Liam and Elsa will be the first people we tell. I know it's difficult keeping something so important from him, but I really do appreciate it.." She snuggled back against his chest contently.

He held her close to him and nodded. "I just want you and our child to be safe and happy."

A few weeks later, Emma was out of her first trimester and her doctor assured her it was safe to tell people she is pregnant. Since she was rather slim before, she had already started showing a little so she didn't wear clothes as form fitting as she used to, but today she had decided to wear one of her favorite dresses before she couldn't anymore.

Killian smiled a little, coming up behind her and placing his hands on her hips. "You look stunning.. I'm excited for tonight, we finally get to tell Liam and Elsa we're having a baby.." His thumb rubbed against her slight bump. "I still can't believe this is our baby in there."

She moved his hand to cover her stomach. "I know, it's crazy.. I know you love this dress on me, I hope it still looks good even though I'm bigger.." She said softly.

"Fuck, Emma.. You look incredibly sexy, that dress still looks gorgeous on you.." He kissed her neck.

She blushed and laced their fingers. "Come on, we can't be late for dinner with your brother, Jones." She drove them, knowing Killian was excited but nervous to tell Liam about their baby.

They met Liam and Elsa outside of the restaurant, then headed to their table. When they were all settled, Liam ordered a glass of wine for Elsa and a rum for him and Killian.

"What would you like to drink, Emma? I'm afraid I'm uncertain of what you like to drink." Liam asked her.

"Oh, um.. I'll just have a water.. I'm, um.. I'm trying not to drink right now." She shrugged.

He nodded a little. "Are you not feeling well? Is everything okay?" He was worried about her like she was his own little sister.

She smiled, squeezing Killian's hand. "I'm fine, Liam.. Don't worry, we're actually doing really great."

"Good. I'm glad.. I know you've both been doing really well at work.. The clients love working with you both." Liam smiled.

Killian nodded. "There's actually something Emma and I would like to tell you both, Liam."

Elsa smiled a little, she had an inkling she knew what he was about to say. Liam nodded. "What is it, Brother?"

Killian took a breath. "Emma and I are having a baby.." He couldn't help but smile and glance at his wife. Emma had really started letting go of her guilt and was more excited for this every day.

Liam smiled. "Oh, that's amazing. Congratulations!"

Elsa smiled at Emma. "I'm happy for you both, you're going to be such wonderful parents."

Emma smiled a little and leaned into Killian. "Thank you.. It took me a while, but I'm truly happy.. And Killian here can't keep the damn smile off his face.."

"I had hoped that's what you were going to tell us, Killian.. After Emma hadn't been feeling well at Christmas, and then not drinking tonight.. And you've been a different kind of happy lately.. And Emma, you're glowing. I know that's cliche, but I noticed it when you walked up outside.. You looked beautiful as usual, but also had this glow about you." Elsa explained.

Emma nodded. "Thanks, Elsa.." She blushed at the compliment.

Killian kissed her hair. "I told you, you are gorgeous, Swan. And it's only enhanced by the knowledge you're carrying our baby.." He told her softly.

"Have you told your family yet, Emma?" Liam asked them.

She shook her head. "Um, my mom was with me when I found out, and has been so helpful through the last month or so.. But other than her, you're the first to find out."

"Really? That means a lot to me.. I figured you would've told your family first." Liam shrugged.

"I asked Killian to keep an important part of his life from you for so long, and you're a lot closer to him than I am to my family." Emma said softly.

Killian nodded a little. "We're going to be video calling them tomorrow to tell David and Leo.."

Emma knew Killian was so happy they were having a baby, she couldn't ask him to keep their secret any longer. She looked up at him from her place in his arms and smiled a little at the look on his face as he talked to his brother and sister-in-law.

Killian kept his prosthetic around her waist the entire meal, and his fake hand eventually came to rest upon her small bump protectively. He didn't want anything to happen to the two most important people in his life.

The next morning, Killian and Emma were sitting on the couch in front of Killian's laptop to call her family.

"Are you okay, Love? Are you nervous about telling your parents?" Killian asked softly, rubbing her hip gently.

"Not really.. Mom already knows.. And I think David is going to be happy for us, he likes you, and Leo.. Well he's a teenager.. He probably won't care.." She shrugged.

He nodded and kissed her softly as the computer started ringing. Killian pulled away and answered it. "Mary Margaret, David." Killian grinned.

"Killian, it's so good to hear from you both.. How are you two doing?" Mary Margaret asked with a smile.

"We're doing well.. Hanging in there, it's been a little hectic around here lately.." He shrugged. "We actually wanted to speak with you because we have something special we want to tell you." He smiled a little.

Emma nodded a little. "Right, um.. Killian and I.. Um, I'm pregnant.." She smiled nervously. "We're having a baby."

David stared at them for a minute. "A baby? You're having a baby?"

Emma nodded. "Yes, Dad.. We're having a baby, and we're happy.. Very happy." She laid her head against Killian's chest.

David finally smiled a little. "Oh, Emma.. I'm happy for you both. You're both going to be wonderful parents. Why isn't your mother freaking out?" He turned to his wife.

Mary Margaret blushed a little bit. "Oh, um.. Well, I've known since Christmas, when Emma was sick.."

David nodded a little. "You've known for more than a month, why didn't you tell me?"

"It wasn't my news to tell, David. Emma trusted me, and I didn't want to break that trust. I'm not losing our daughter again." She sighed, rubbing his shoulder gently. "So, is everything okay with the baby? Are you both healthy?"

Killian nodded. "Mom and baby are perfect.. They're doing very well." He smiled down at Emma.

"I'm great, Mom.. My morning sickness is finally going away, and the doctor told me everything is going really well.. We just have to tell Henry.." Emma sighed. She was nervous about telling Henry, even though she was sure he'd be happy.

"Oh, Henry is going to be so excited, Emma.. Don't worry about him, okay?" David assured his daughter. "Do you want to tell your brother yourself? He's just in his room doing homework, I can get him.."

Emma nodded. "Um.. Yeah, I'd like to tell him he's going to be an uncle." She smiled a little.

David left for a minute and came back with Leo in tow. "Hey, Em, Killian." He smiled at them. "What's up?"

Killian rubbed Emma's back gently. "Well, Lad.. Your sister and I have something we want to tell you.."

Leo nodded and waited for Emma to speak. She took a breath. "Well, in a few months what do you say to being an uncle?"

Leo immediately smiled. "You're having a baby, Em? That's great, I'm happy for you.. You're gonna be the best mom, Sis."

She smiled at him. "Thanks, Kiddo. Killian and I want to come back and visit you all soon, before it's not safe for the baby.."

Mary Margaret nodded. "You're always welcome, Sweetheart. Just let us know when, okay? We love you both so much. Call us if you need anything.. Congratulations on your baby, you're going to be the most wonderful parents."

Killian blushed a little, still not used to the affection of parents. "Thank you.. We love you too.." He said before they hung up the call.

Emma turned in his arms and hugged him tightly. "I love you so much, thank you for being my rock through all of this, Killian."

Killian held her tightly, kissing her temple. "I love you too. And I just want to be what you need me to be.. If you need me to stay strong and be your rock, then that is what I'll be. I'd do anything for my wife and our baby."

She nodded and snuggled into his arms. "Well, I'm still grateful for you, Jones.."

Emma felt like her pregnancy was flying by, and before she knew it she and Killian were sitting in the waiting room waiting to find out if they were having a boy or a girl. Killian was excited, his knee bouncing up and down ridiculously.

She placed her hand on his knee. "Hey.. Everything okay?" She asked softly.

He stopped bouncing at the feel of her touch. "I'm fine, my love.. I'm nervous, but bloody excited.. I can't wait to know if it's a little lad or lass we're having.." He grinned at her.

She grinned back, his happiness about their child was contagious. "Yeah, I think it's a little girl.. I can just imagine you as the father to a baby girl. Maybe with your hair.. But definitely with those blue eyes of yours."

He shrugged. "I'll be happy either way.. I just want our baby to be healthy and perfect like I know they will be." He placed his good hand on her stomach.

Emma covered his hand with hers. "I know you don't..." She squeezed his hand as her name was called.

They went back to the room and Emma settled onto the table, grabbing Killian's hand. Her doctor did her check up and then pulled out the ultrasound machine.

"Did you all decide if you want to find out the sex of your baby today?"

Emma nodded. "We did.. We would like to know today." She smiled a little.

Her doctor nodded and used the wand to find the baby. She turned the screen to them and smiled a little. "This is your baby's head, and arms.. And here are the legs.. And it appears to be a girl. Congratulations."

Emma smiled, looking up at her husband. Killian had a few tears falling down his cheeks, he drew his attention from the image of their baby on the screen and looked at his wife.

"A girl. A little lass, Swan." He breathed, kissing her forehead. "She's so perfect, look at her."

Emma laughed softly, her own tears on her cheeks. "Yeah, she is.. Isn't she? Just like her father."

Her doctor handed them a couple copies of the sonogram. "Congratulations again.. Everything seems to be perfect with your baby, and with Mama here."

She left the room so Emma could wipe off her stomach and Killian kissed her deeply once the doctor was gone. Emma and Killian had a flight the next day to fly to Storybrooke to visit with Emma's family.

Mary Margaret came to pick them up from the airport, and hugged them both. "Oh, it's so good to see you, Sweetie." She hugged Emma. "You look like you're doing well."

Emma hugged her mom tightly. "I am, I'm not feeling too badly lately.. And Killian and I are happy, and getting excited for our baby."

She smiled and nodded. "I bet. Let's get home, your father had to finish up his patrol, and I told Regina we'd all meet her and Henry for dinner at the diner."

Killian took their suitcase and Emma's backpack so that she could walk with her mom. He helped her into the car and kissed her cheek.

He helped her out once they were at Granny's and held her hand. "Are you excited to see Henry? And tell your family about our little lass?"

She nodded. "I am.. I've missed Hen-" She started before a smaller pair of arms hugged her tightly.

"Mom!" Henry grinned. "I've missed you." He took her hand and led her to the table where Regina, David and Leo were waiting for them. "Can I sit by you?"

Emma nodded. "Of course." She hugged her family before sitting down next to Henry, and she grabbed Killian's hand.

They ordered before Mary Margaret started asking about the baby. "Have you decided if you want to know whether it's a girl or a boy? You're about at that point right?"

Emma smiled a little, looking at Killian. He nodded at her. "Well, we actually found out at my appointment yesterday.."

"That's exciting, Sweetheart." Her mom smiled.

She nodded. "We're happy.. The doctor said it's a girl." She couldn't help but smile, she never thought she would get to this point and be so happy about it.

"I'm gonna have a little sister?" Henry asked, looking up at her.

She nodded and ran her fingers through his hair. "Yeah, Kid.. You're going to have a little sister. She's going to be lucky to have a brother like you."

Emma and Killian took Henry out for a couple of hours the next day, so that they could spend some time with him. Emma didn't want him to feel like because she was having another baby that she would forget about him and not care about him as much.

Henry sat between them as they ate their ice cream on a bench she used to go to all the time when she was pregnant with Henry. He looked up at them before turning to Killian.
