Happy Beginning Captain Swan

Graduation

It was June, Emma was wide awake, her baby boy is graduating today. Henry doesn't know that his parents were throwing him a surprise graduation party. He was playing with Hope in the backyard painting. He was watching Hope getting paint all over her hands and arms. "Little sis, you are covered with paint.""Yes! Paint is fun, bro!!" Henry smiles and tickles his sister. Hope laughs,"Henwy!" She covered him with paint."Hope!" Killian sees his children having a paint fight from the kitchen. He knows distracting Henry out of the house will be hard since he was playing with Hope. She waddles downstairs. "Hi, Killian.""Morning, love." They hug. "Are you excited?""Yes, I am. Our son is graduating today." She sees Henry and Hope getting covered in paint. "Oh no. Ava is coming soon to distract Henry! Allison is coming over to help me set up for the party.""Emma,I am going to help you and Allison set up for the party. After I get paint off of Hope. You need to eat the breakfast that I made you." He gives her a plate of biscotti spread on top of two English muffins, chopped bananas on top, and decaf coffee. "Thank you, honey. You knew I needed my fake peanut butter.""Aye, I noticed what you've been eating for breakfast.""I think Leia is having a growth spurt because I am more hungry. Or I am 6 months pregnant." "I have a question?""Yes?""Do you want to go on a babymoon? I know last time you ended up on bed rest. I know for this time, we can walk less and you can relax more." "I do not know, Killian. I do not want to leave Hope and Henry. Hope would freak out when we are not around here. If something happens to her when we are gone. I trust Henry and Allison to watch her. I do not trust..." She sighs."The dangers in the town?" Emma nods her head yes. Killian hugs his swan knowing he was getting his pregnant swan upset. "Emma, I am sorry to have upset you. I just wanted a vacation for you and me before Leia arrives." "I want one on one time with my pirate though.""You do?""Yes." She hugs him. "Maybe we can go on a family vacation at a beach? The four of us before Leia comes?"Killian smiles. "Do you mean we can rent a beach house at the beach?""Yes in Florida!""Aye, swan we can start planning soon. I knew you wanted another trip,swan.""Are you saying that I tricked you?""You tricked me? No." Emma giggles. They kiss. Killian goes to the backyard. "Hope, it is time to take a bath!""No, dada! Paint with Henwy!" She throws paint onto her brother. "Hope!" He splatters paint red paint on Hope making her laugh. "Lad, your sister needs a bath.""Okay. I am going out with Ava soon. I do need a shower." Killian gives Hope a bubble bath while she was crying. Henry took a shower downstairs. "Little love, you are going play with Henry again.""Paint, dada.""Henry is going out with Ava. Later we are going to surprise Henry." Henry goes downstairs to find his Mom in the kitchen. "Henry, how was painting with Hope? I saw you two throwing paint at each other?"Henry smiles. "Hope and I had fun. She was the one who started the paint fight. She loves art like me."Emma rubs her baby bump. "Where are you going with Ava?" "We are going to our spot. Are you working today?""Yes, I have to do some paperwork.""I am done with high school.""Yes, I know, kid. I am so proud of you." She hugs her son. "My baby boy is finished high school. I promise we are going to celebrate.""I am happy to make you proud,Mom.""Yes, you did, Henry." "I am going to spend the day with Ava since you and Dad are working. We are going to celebrate tonight?""Yes, we are going to celebrate tonight.""Ava can come?""Of course, Henry!""How are you feeling, being 6 months pregnant?""I feel backaches but Leia is getting bigger. It is going faster this time around since Hope keeps me busy.""If you need a break, I can read to Leia later."Emma smiles. "You can read to Leia later. Both of your sisters love you reading to them." Henry hugs his Mom. "Leia, I love you so much, baby sis." He looks up at his Mom. "Can we have our one on one time later?"Emma smiles, her son still wants to spend time with her. "Yes, we can. How about we can drive around town?""Yes! Can we get ice cream?""Yes, kid. Also, your Dad and I are planning a family vacation to Florida."Beach house in Florida?!""Yes, kid. Dad wanted take me on a babymoon with only me. I rather have a family vacation.""I understand why you wanted a family vacation, Mom. Hope will be upset the whole time you two were away. When you and Dad want alone time, Hope and I will have H&H time."The doorbell rings. "Speaking of Ava.""Ava is here!" He rushes to the door as Emma smiles. He opens the door, "Hi.""Hi, Henry!" They kiss. "Are you ready to go?""Yes." Hope goes downstairs wearing a butterfly dress. "Hi, Ava!" "Hi, Hope!" Hope hugs Ava. "Hope, do you want to come with Henry and me?""Yes, pwease." She looks up at her brother. "Henwy, going with you and Ava.""You are! We need to get your shoes on." Henry takes his sister upstairs and packs what she needs in his backpack. "Hope, you can wear your sneakers because we are going to the woods." He helps her tie her pink converse sneakers.Emma waddles over to Ava. "Hi, Ava!""Emma!" They hug. "How are you?""Besides backache and being bloated. I am feeling pretty good. Thank you.""For distracting Henry?""Yes."" I am happy to help surprise him. I also wanted to take Hope with us to our secret spot.""I will text you when to return." They hear Hope going down the stairs. "Hope, Henry did not comb your hair?""No. Henwy can't do my hair." Emma and Ava both laugh. "Do you want me to braid your hair?""Yes,Mommy." Henry returns downstairs with a hairbrush. Emma sits on the couch and braids her daughter's hair. "Mommy best bwaider.""I am?""Yes!" "Thank you, little pirate princess." Hope hugs her Mommy. "You are going to have fun with Henry and Ava.""Mommy." She hugs her Mommy."I am going to be here when you get back home with Henry and Ava.""Little sis, we are going to have fun.""Henwy!" She jumped into her brother's arms. "Henry, watch Hope in the woods.""Yes, Mom." "Emma, Hope is going to have fun with us." Emma hugs Henry and Hope. "Have fun you two.""We will, Mom. See you later.""See you later." Ava, Henry, and Hope left the house.Killian hugs his wife. "Are you okay, love?""Yes, I am. Hope is with Henry and Ava on their date." Killian chuckles. "Let's start decorating.""Aye, swan." They went to the backyard and began setting up gift tables, tables, and chairs, decorations streamers, banners, a photo booth station to where to take pictures,balloons, graduation signs, a banner with a photo of Henry, Class 2021. Killian was doing all the heavy lifting by setting up the tables as Emma setting up the table cloths, and streamers. Killian helped his wife with the banner. "Swan, where did you get this banner?""I made it online with Henry's photo. Since our son is graduating from an online school. I knew he needed something special. He is graduating high school. He is the first in our family." Killian hugs his wife."He is going to love it." He kisses her on the head. "Where should I hang this banner?""By the two trees.""Aye, swan." He hangs the banner. He sees Emma rubs her baby bump. "Is everything okay, love?"Emma places her husband's hand onto her baby bump where Leia was kicking. "Our daughter is kicking as she should be.""Aye. Leia is kicking just like her Mommy." He rubs his hand over his wife's baby bump. "Littlest love, dada and Mommy love you so much." Emma began crying,she is pregnant again with her true love and her baby boy is graduating high school. "Emma." He hugs his swan. "These are happy tears, I never thought I would be organizing a surprise graduation party for my son, being his Mom and being pregnant again..." She cried more into her husband. "I wouldn't have a family if I did not met you. We have an amazing smart son who is going to be a high school graduate in a few hours. We have a daughter who is a mini version of you and our pirate princess on the way." They rub her baby bump.The backyard door was opened, it was Allison. "Hi, Emma! Hi, Killian!""Hi, Allison." They hug."Hi, Leia. Auntie is here to help your Mommy with decorating for your brother's party." "Thank you for helping.""I am happy to help.""Swan, I will be right back, I need to get the catering food we ordered.""Granny is bringing Henry's graduation cake." They kiss. Killian leaves. They walked to the woods and went on a hike. Hope was riding on Henry's shoulders. "Twees, Henwy!""Yes, there are so many trees in the woods, little sis." They arrived at their spot. "This is where Ava and I come and talk.""You kiss." Ava and Henry both laugh. "Hope, do you want me to show you around?""Yes. Henwy, come.""I am coming, Hope." Ava gave Hope a tour of the woods. Hope remembers when she was kidnapped a few times in the woods and began crying. "Hope, are you hungry?" Hope cried more.Henry holds Hope. "Hope, can you tell me...""Wood scawy.Want Mommy and Dada....dada...Mommy...""We are going to Mommy and Daddy, Hope. You are safe with me. No one is going to take you away from me." Hope hugs her brother. Henry looks at his girlfriend. "Ava, Hope has been kidnapped into the woods many times, the last time...she almost lost her..."Ava gets her iPhone out and texts telling Killian he needs to get Hope so they won't arrive home before the surprise party. "Henry, we can go where Hope likes.""I know where to take her." Emma and Allison began setting up blue and white balloons all around the backyard."Where is my little niece Hope?""She is with Henry and Ava. I think they are taking her to their secret spot?""Where is their secret spot?""Somewhere in the woods. That is what Henry told me." They set up the cupcakes that Emma secretly made the night before, the food that Allison brought and made a table for the food that Killian was bringing in. "Emma, you have some time to rest before the guest arrives.""Okay, I will sit down." She sits down on the chair. "Do you feel better?""Yes. I am already feeling huge as a house. I am 6 months pregnant.""Once, my little niece arrives, in 4 months it will be worth it.""Yes. I am just happy she is healthy and growing inside of me." She gets a phone call from Killian. "Killian?""Hi, Emma. The food is on its way to our house. Ava texted me and told me that Hope needed us.""Killian, what is wrong with Hope?""She is afraid of the woods, ever since she was kidnapped.""The woods. Why did I not think of that?" "Ava texted me to meet them at the beach. I will make sure Hope is happy and feels safe. At the same Henry is out of the house until everyone arrives. I got this under control, swan."Emma smiles, Killian being there for their daughter. "Allison and I are almost done decorating. We will lookout for the food." "Emma, Hope is going to be okay,love." "I know you can cheer our daughter up." "I will, love." The phone conversation ended. "Killian said the food is on its way. He has to get Hope from Henry.""What is wrong with Hope?""She is afraid of the woods. Henry and Ava are taking her to Killian. From her being kidnapped many times.""Knowing my little niece, she loves the ocean.""I have a feeling that is where Henry and Ava are taking her." The food arrives. Regina arrives. "Hi, Regina.""Hi, Emma. How can I help?""You can help us set the food." Regina helps Emma and Allison set up the food.Henry was carrying his upset sister as Ava lead them out of the woods to the beach."Ava.""Yes, Hope?""Sowwy, woods scawy."Ava smiles at Hope."That is okay,Hope. I am not mad at you.""No?""I am not mad at you because I know what it is like to be afraid.""Weally?""Yes, Hope because when the Evil Queen used her dark magic putting Nicky and me into never-ending woods, I was very afraid.""Scawy?""Yes, it was very scary, Hope. When the dark curse came, I was in Storybrooke with my twin brother. When your Mommy came into town she helped us find our Dada.""Mike!" "Yes, that is my Dad." Hope hugs Ava. Killian arrives at the beach waiting for his children. When he sees them, Hope ran to him. "Dada!!" Killian goes to his daughter and scooped him in his arms. "Little love!" He hugs his daughter."Woods bad, dada." "You are not in the woods anymore, you are with me. Dada is here." "Stay.""I am not going anywhere, little love." "Ocean.""Yes, we are at the ocean, little love." "Dada, ocean." Hope points at the ocean. "You want to go in?""Walk by ocean.""Aye, little love.""Ava, Henwy walk ocean." Ave smiles at Hope. "You can show me the ocean, Hope." "Dad, I have a bathing suit for Hope.""Aye, you are prepared." Henry covers the towel and lets their Dad change Hope into her Ariel swimsuit." Hope holds her Daddy's hook and leads Ava and Henry by the water. "Hope, I love your bathing suit.""Thank you, Ava." Hope goes into the waves and laughs getting wet. Ava followed Hope. Killian thought to himself his swan is going to be mad bringing Hope home soaked before surprising Henry. At least she is wearing a bathing suit this time. Killian lifted Hope from the big wave, Hope was laughing. "Big wave, Dada." "Yes, it is a very big wave, little pirate." He spun her around in the water. "Whee!!" Henry and Ava were watching them from the sand. "Ava, sorry about Hope.""That is okay. I am enjoying getting my feet sandy. I am not at the beach too much.""I will show you the beach." Henry stands up and gives his hand to help his girlfriend up. They walk along the shore. "You are showing me the beach?""Yes, I am. I know the woods are more your place. I am more familiar with the beach, mostly the ocean.""Because your Dad is a pirate?""Yes. He also taught me how to sail when I was 13. My Mom likes coming to the ocean to calm down or to talk, also Hope. Being by the ocean runs in our family." They stood by the waves crashing onto their feet.Killian and Hope were getting wet, he was holding Hoe on his hip who was enjoying getting wet. "Little love, it is time for us to go home. We are soaked.""Stay here.""We have to go home for Henry's surprise.""Supwise?""Yes. We have to be home before Henry.""Okay. Want to see Mommy." Killian carried Hope to Henry and Ava. "Son, I am going to take Hope home to dry off.""Okay, I will come home later.""H time?""Yes, Hope. We are going to have H&H time." Ava tugs Henry's hand."You are still showing me the beach." Killian carried Hope home. "Home!" He sets Hope down to open the door and let Hope in. "Mommy!"Emma comes from the kitchen seeing Killian and Hope soaked. "Hope, did you and Daddy go swimming in the ocean?" Hope hugs her Mommy. "Yes! It was fun!"Emma smiles and looks up at her husband. "Hope did not like the woods. I met up with Henry, Ava and Hope at the beach." "Woods are scawy, Mommy." "I do not like the woods, too baby girl. Now, you need a bath before Henry's surprise party." "Swan,I can give Hope her bath.""Are you sure?""Yes, you need to rest before the party." "Killian, I took a nap already.I can give Hope her bath. You need a bath too.""Aye, love. I will help you both upstairs before my shower." He helps his wife upstairs. "Dada bath with me." Killian chuckles. "You want me to take a bubble bath with you?""Yes.""Swan?"Emma smiles. "Only a quick bubble bath. We have to surprise Henry soon.""Supwise!!""That's what we are going to say to him, Hope!" Emma watches Hope and Killian have their bubble bath for the bathroom door and took pictures. Hope squeezes her yellow ducky at her Daddy, he made a face making her laugh. Emma places her hand on her baby bump, she knows Leia was going to join her daddy and sister father-daughter time in the future. She goes to Hope's room to set up her daughter's outfit, a pink dress. Killian lead Hope to her room wrapped in towels. "Swan, someone is all clean and dry." "Thank you, captain." Hope began dressing up. Emma smooths his hair. "You look good with your towel on, captain."Killian smiles, his swan was getting horny. She kisses him on the lips. "Swan, not in front of the little lass and the little one." He places his hook on her baby bump. "Leia..." He kisses his wife's baby bump.Emma smiles. "You need to dress up.""Aye, love. You look beautiful in your dress by the way,""Thank you." They kiss. Killian went to their room to change."Mommy, hair!" Emma brushes Hope's hair and put barrettes in her hair. "Pweety. Thank you, Mommy!" Hope hugs her Mommy. "You are welcome, baby girl."After Killian was dressed for the party he went out to the backyard, he saw Allison, her family and Regina making sure everything were ready for the party. He saw the party guests, Charming, Gepetto, Archie, Pinocchio, Granny, Red, Dorothy, Ashley, Mike , Nicholas, Ariel, Eric, Melody, Belle with Gideon and Rumplestilskin, were all there. He went to greet their guests. "Allison, the decorations are great.""Thank you, Killian. It was all Emma's idea. Is she awake?""Yes,she is getting Hope ready.""Hi, captain guyliner.""Hi, your majesty.""Where is my son?""Ava is distracting him." Regna was confused. "Why is Ava distracting him?""Because it is a surprise party for Henry. Emma wanted to have a surprise party for Henry since he has been working so hard. He is graduating high school, which she could not do because of Neal framed her for his crime and she was in prison. She always wanted Henry to finish high school. She wants to celebrate our son."Granny carried a box. "Killian, I have Henry's graduation cake.""Aye, follow me to the kitchen." He leads Granny to the kitchen. Granny opens the box to show Killian the cake which was a white frosting large cake with a blue cap and diploma on each layer, on the bottom, Congratulations Henry. "Granny this amazing.""Thank you. Your wife was very detailed on this cake. I watch your son grow up. He is a good boy.""My wife and son will love it.""How is Emma?""She is very tired. I am trying to make her rest as much as possible since she is six months pregnant."Melody opens the door to the kitchen. "Killy!"Killian kneels down to Melody. "Hi, Melody!" He holds Melody on his hip."Where Hope?""She is upstairs with Emma.""Em-em.""What do you think of the cake?""Yummy." He texts Ava to start heading back to the house with Henry.Emma waddles with Hope walking ahead to the backyard. "Party, Mommy.""Yes, Hope. The party is for Henry. He is graduating high school today. When Henry comes, we all are going to say surprise."Charming goes to his daughter. "Hi, princess.""Hi, Dad.""Gramps.""Hi, little princess." He looks at his daughter. "How are you?""More tired and feeling huge." Emma waddles to greet everyone. Hope goes to Melody and Gideon. "Hi, everyone! Thank you all for coming. Henry is officially graduating today from his online school. He does not know that we are having a party for him. So we are going to shout surprise when he comes. We are going to have a little graduation ceremony for him." Killian smiles. "We are going to celebrate our son today. What do you say, everyone, are you going to help us?" Everyone cheered. Emma smiles big and hugs her husband, everyone wants to help make Henry's special day special. They kiss. "Swan, I got a text from Ava that they are on the way back.""Is everyone here?""Yes, Emma. Everyone that we invited is here.""Yes, everyone is here.""Perfect.""Everyone, Henry is coming back. We need to be quiet." Henry and Ava were sitting on a blanket on the beach watching the waves and kissing. Ava got a text from Killian that they are ready for Henry to come back. "I was thinking, we can go to your house to continue our talk." "Sure." They packed up their bags and headed to Henry's house. Henry entered the house, "Mom? Dad? Where is everybody?""Maybe they are in the backyard?" She went ahead of him and sees the party. Henry entered the backyard and sees most of the town. "SURPRISE HENRY!!!" Charming was taking code on Emma's iPhone. "Happy graduation day Henry!!" Everyone cheered. Hope was clapping being held by her Daddy. Henry was smiling. Emma was waddling over to her son. "Mom?""This is your high school graduation party of course." She hugs her son. "All of this for me?""Yes, Henry. I told you that we are going to celebrate."Killian carried Hope to his son."Lad, this is your high school graduation party." He hands him his cap and gown. "Supwise!!""Hope, were you in on the surprise?""Yes." Emma gives him an envelope. "This came in the mail for you."Henry opens the big envelope which was a high school diploma. "I officially am finished high school! Yes!!" Everyone cheered. Charming takes pictures of Henry with his diploma, with Emma, Killian, and Hope. Emma hugs her son during their photo."My son finished high school." Henry hugs his Mom. "Thank you for letting me be home school.""You are welcome, Henry. I knew you needed it." She hugs her son. "I know my baby sis and little sis are going to graduate high school like me.""Yes, they will." They hug. "Henwy." Henry holds his sister on his hip. Killian takes pictures of his son and daughter on his iPhone.He continued to take separate photos with Regina, Ava, Allison, Charming, Granny, Red, Belle, Rumpelstiltskin, and Gideon. The rest of the guests congratulated him. "Ava, were you in on the surprise?""Yes, I was. Your Mom assigned me to distract you.""You did a good job distracting me.I did not expect this party at all." They kiss. Henry went around talking to guests. Hope was playing with Melody and Gideon.Emma was sitting down talking to Allison. "I had to hand it to you. You surprised Henry.""Yes, I did." She rubs her baby bump. "He looks happy.""I saw his face when he entered the backyard, he was so surprised." "I can surprise, people. I just do not like being surprised."Killian checked on his swan who was talking to Allison. "Swan.""Yes?""Are you hungry?""I am hungry.""I will make you a plate." Killian makes his swan a plate of penne vodka, chicken parmesan, and eggplant. He returns to their table. "Thank you." "You are welcome, love."They kiss. Hope goes to her Mommy. "Mommy.""Yes, sweetie.""Hungwy.""Little love, I am going to make you a plate."Killian goes back to the food table."Auntie.""Yes?" Hope hugs Allison. "You just wanted to give me a hug.""Yes!" Allison smiles. "Ocean with Dada.""You swam into the ocean today?!""Yes, it was fun." Ariel, Melody, and Prince Eric joined their table. "Mel-Mel!""Hope! Sit next to me.""Melody, you can sit with us." "Em-em!" She hugs Emma. "Hi, Melody.""Baby.""Yes, Hope's baby sister is growing inside of me." "My new fweind?"Emma smiles. "Yes, she will be your new friend. You will be able to hold her.""Yay!" Melody clapped her hands. "My baby sis going to be a piwate pwincess.""Just like you, baby girl." She hugs her daughter and sees Henry arguing with Regina. "I will be right back." "Mommy, Henwy.""I am going to your brother, sweetie." She waddles to Regina, Henry, and Ava.Regina approaches Henry. "Ahem." Henry and Ava stop kissing. "Henry..""Hi, Mom." They hug."Congratulations, Henry.""Thank you,Mom. I know you did not like the idea of homeschooling when Mom and Dad decided to stop regular school.""They had good intentions, I still think that you should have gone back to school.."Henry was mad. "Good intentions? I was bullied there! Mom and Dad made the right choice for me! You still do not get it..." Henry walks away with Ava following him. Regina sees everyone looking at her. "Henry." Emma was getting mad. "Regina? What did you do?""I told Henry that you and Killian had good intentions on putting him in homeschool. I also said I wanted him to be back in school.""Regina! He just graduated high school. Maybe not in a traditional way, but he got the diploma because he worked hard and in an environment where he felt safe in. He was happy homeschooled not miserable and felt not safe in school!" Emma waddles over to her son."She still doesn't get it."Ava held his hands. "I understand. Your Mom and dad made the right choice. Now, you are finished with high school."Henry sighs. "You are right." "Now, let's enjoy your party. Your Mom and Dad planned this party all for you." Emma comes over to them. "Henry, are you okay?" She hugs her son. "Yes, I am now, Mom. I am going to enjoy the party that you and Dad worked so hard to surprise me with."Hope goes to Regina. "Ina. You made Henwy mad.""No, I did not.""Yes, you did, In. Say Sowwy."Killian was smiling seeing Hope telling Regina what to do. "Hope is right, apologize to Henry. You got him mad at his own graduation party, your majesty."Regina was getting mad. Hope hugged her Daddy's legs. "I was just saying my opinion.""Your opinion doesn't matter. He finished high school. He is going to school in Boston...""Boston?""Aye, he got into the Brown University Extension program. He is going to dorm there in the city." "Henry." Regina was mad that she did not know and heads to Henry and Emma. "Uh-oh.""Uh-oh is right, Hope." Allison takes Hope to the playset where Lizzie and Alexandra was. Killian walked to Emma, Henry, and Ava before Regina. "Henry, you are going to Boston?!""You mean for college? Yes, I am.""We are so proud of him.""You did this, Emma! He is going to be away from me."Killian hates seeing Regina yelling at his pregnant wife. Emma was mad. "He is going to college, Regina!! He is not yours only, he is not one of your possessions." Killian gives a look to Charming, August, Mike, and Mulan. "Stop yelling at my Emma. Stop blaming her!! Henry is going to college. Aren't you happy? He cannot be the one who you have all to yourself. You need to leave." Everyone was looking at them."Leave, Mom." Charming, August, Mike, Red, and Mulan lead Regina out of the backyard. "I am sorry everyone about my other Mom.""Party, Henwy." Henry holds his sister. "You heard my sister, everyone!" Everyone cheered. Henry hugs his sister.Killian held onto his swan. "Let's get you sitting down, swan.""I am hungry.""I am not surprised." Emma chuckles. He leads his wife to their table and sat next to her. He hugs his swan. Emma gripped her husband's hand, feeling a sharp pain in her back. "Ow..""Emma?" "I am having some back pain." Allison rushes over to Emma. "Allison, she is in pain.""Let's get you sitting down inside, Emma." Killian carried Emma inside and laid her on the couch. Ashley rushes to get Emma water, Geppetto was bringing cool cloths and everyone else was trying to help. Allison looked at the party guests. "Everyone, Emma needs to relax and have some space to breathe."Hope was crying and goes to her Mommy in the living room. "Mommy.""Mommy is okay, sweetie. Daddy and Auntie are taking good care of me." "Little sis. Let's go see Melody." "No." She points at their Mom. "Stay with Mommy." "Little love, I am going to stay with Mommy. Be a good little pirate for Henry." Henry takes his sister to Melody and Ariel."Hope, your Mommy is going to be okay." Ariel rubs Hope's back. Killian was holding his wife's hand. "Emma, where is the pain?""In the middle of my back. Is it labor?""I am going to examine you first to see if it is labor. Back pain can be a sign of stress.""Yea, Regina can be stressful. She ruined Henry's party." She began crying."Emma..." He hugs her and rubs her back. Killian looks at the backyard, "Our son is enjoying his party now." He wrapped his arm around his wife. "It is not perfect as planned.""After Allison gives you the okay, we can join him and the rest of the guests, love." He kisses her on the head and rubbed her back. "Emma, I'm going to check Leia's heartbeat and examine you to see if you are in labor.""I just want Leia to be healthy.""She is going to be healthy, Emma. I am staying here right next to you and our littlest love." He kisses her on the head. Emma pulls her dress up. Allison puts gel into Emma's baby bump and moves the doppler around. They hear the heartbeat. "That is a strong heartbeat." Emma was crying. "Leia is healthy. She has a strong heartbeat.""She takes after you, swan."Allison laid a blanket over Emma and examined her. Emma gripped Killian's hand. "Emma, you are not in labor." Emma sighed in relief. "You just need to rest and not be in stressful situations.""You mean Regina?""Yes. Also my side of the family." She rubs her baby bump. "Leia, you are still growing inside of me, sweetie." Henry and Hope back into the living room. "See, little sis. Mommy is right here.""Hope, Henry, you can come over here." "Mommy!" Hope goes to the couch and climbed onto the couch."Hope, be easy with Mommy, little love." Hope hugs her Mommy. "Are you going to help me rest?""Yes!" She looks at Allison. "Auntie, baby sis okay?""Yes, little niece. Your baby sis is okay. Leia still is growing inside of your Mommy." Hope hugs her Mommy's baby bump. "Leia listen to Auntie. Stay with Mommy." Emma, Killian, Henry, and Allison all smile at Hope. Henry kneels to Hope. "You tell that to our sister Hope." Hope hugs Henry."Hope, Mommy is okay, baby girl." She hugs her daughter. "You can go have fun with your friends. I will be in the backyard soon." "Mom, if you need anything, Hope and I will be in the backyard." "Thanks, kid. I am sorry for scaring you at your graduation party." He hugs his Mom."I am not mad. I am happy you are throwing me this party and Leia is okay." He holds Hope on his hip. "Little sis, we can play with Melody and Ava.""Mel-Mel and Eeon." Henry takes Hope back to the backyard to Ariel, Belle, Melody, and Gideon. He lets Hope onto the ground and Hope goes to her friends. Ashley, Geppetto, August, and Charming all crowd around Henry. Belle,"How is Emma?""She is not in early labor. The stress from my other Mom caused her back pain. Aunt Allison checked our Mom.""Henry, what happened to your Mom?""Gramps, after you and Mulan took my other Mom out of here, Mom got back pain. Aunt Allison checked her and she's in labor." Charming goes into the house seeing Killian snuggling with Emma on the couch. "Emma, are you okay?""Yes, Dad. Your newest granddaughter is not making her appearance just yet. She did give me back pain because of Regina." She rubs her baby bump."Allison ordered Emma to relax.""Which you are helping me with." She laid her hand on her Killian's chest."Your daughter is okay, Charming. She just needs to rest. Doctors orders.""Yes, Allison." Henry goes to Ava. She hugs him. "Your Mom is feeling better?""She is getting her rest. My other mom...she caused a huge scene at my graduation party that caused my other Mom stress.""Emma is not in labor. Your sister is not coming now..."Liam enters the backyard. "Uncle Liam!""Hi, Henry! Happy graduation!" They hug. "I am sorry that I am late.""You did miss saying surprise, Mom and dad planned this surprise graduation party.""Where is Killian?""He is inside with Mom. She had a little scare when my other Mom Regina was yelling at me for not telling her I was going to Boston for college.""I am very proud of you, Henry.""Thank you, Uncle Liam."Hope runs to Liam. "Uncle Liam!""Hi, Hope!" He scooped Hope into his arms. "How is my niece?""Good. Dada, Henwy, Ava and I swam in the ocean.""You went into the ocean today?""Yes! No woods, scawy.""You are definitely your Dad's daughter.""Yes, piwate." Henry and Liam laughed. Melody and Gideon go to Hope.
