Happy Beginning Captain Swan

Announcement

After Emma's doctor appointment, Killian and Emma dropped off Henry at Regina's. "Lad, do not tell your Mom about your baby sister yet until we tell everyone at dinner tonight at your grandparents."
"I will keep it a secret. Do not worry Dad. Mom, I am so happy that you are having a baby girl."
"Me too, kid. We will see you tonight."
"What do you want to do now Swan?"
Emma smiled. " Well, I do want to go baby cloth shopping for this little girl." She rubs her baby bump.
"Sounds like a good idea. Let's go." Emma giggles.
They went shopping, Killian and Emma bought so many cute girly onesies, bibs, blankets, and pacifiers.
Killian put his hook hand over Emma and used his good hand to hold her shopping bags."Swan, for the babe's room, what color should we paint the room?"
"Anything but pink. I like yellow."
"Yellow it is!" They went into the paint store to and chose the sunshine yellow paint color. They also looked at baby furniture for ideas.
After shopping, Killian drove Emma home. As soon as Emma entered the house, she sat down on the couch and put her feet on the coffee table. She took a nap. Killian brought all of the baby's clothes to the soon to be baby's room. Killian called Marco, "Hello Marco. I forgot to add the color of the wood, can the white?"
"Yes, that will be no problem."
"When will I be able to pick it up?"
"In two weeks."
"That will be perfect, thank you so much."
Two hours later, Killian wakes Emma up from her nap. "Emma, wake up. We have to go to your parents' house." He helps her off the couch.
"Thank you. I needed the help. Now, I know that I cannot sleep on the couch for a very long time before my body aches."
"No problem, love." They kiss and both of their hands on top of her baby bump.
"Mommy and Daddy love you so much already little girl."
"Let's get ready and head over to your parents to tell everyone about our little princess-pirate."
"Let's go."
As Emma and Killian arrive at her parent's farm, Killian was holding her so protectively. "You okay?"
"Yes, I am love. I am just excited to tell everyone."
Snow White, Charming, and Neal answered the door. "Hi, Emma!"
"Hi, Mom and Dad!" She hugs Snow and Charming together.
"How are you?"
"I am feeling pretty good."
"Hi, sissy!!" He jumps into her arms. "Careful lad. Your sister has a baby in her tummy."
"Hi, Neal." Emma zones out remembering all of the pain that Neal, Henry's father caused her. She remembers the frame, the childbirth alone, him blaming her for everything once she saw him in NYC.
"Emma...Emma!!" Killian hands over Neal to Snow White. Charming, "What is happening?
"What..I am sorry." She started to tear up a little.
Snow,"Sweetie, what is wrong?"
Emma spoke to her brother, "Can I call you Leo, your middle name instead of Neal."
"Why sissy?"
"Because your first name makes me very very sad and reminds me of a time when I was alone."
Killian,"Emma.."
Emma said to her Mom, Dad and Killian "I said his name and had flashbacks of what the real Neal had done to me the abandonment, the frame, not apologizing for letting me go to prison for him... Now that I am pregnant. The flashbacks feel more real."
Killian holds her, "I understand. Snow, Charming what do you think?"
Snow was surprised. "I think Leo would be a good idea. Leo is your grandfather's name after all."
Charming, "Leo is fine with me, now that we know what happened."
Snow hands Neal over to Emma gently.
"Can I call you Leo?"
"Sure, you can sissy! I do not want to make you sad. I love you." He hugs her and kisses him on the forehead.
"I love you too, Leo. Leo hug me a little less, I do have a baby in my tummy." She let him go and he ran to play with Roland, Rowand, and Gideon.
Killian held his wife's hand."Mom, Dad told me the truth. Are you both mad for not calling him Neal?"
"I am sorry for naming him from a person that caused you all of that hurt."
Charming, "We did not know."
Killian, "Yes, he caused her all that pain and he was an ass for not admitting he was wrong after leaving her alone in prison."
"Emma, I am so sorry. I actually like Leo better."
"Mom, really?"
"Yes, it was one of my first baby names. You were both were there when your Dad and I were arguing for baby boy names before we tried to talk to the dead, Cora."
"Yes, I remember that. So your not mad?"
"I am not Emma. I am sorry for not knowing all of the things Neal did to you. We should have asked you before naming your brother after him." Snow hugs Emma.
"It is okay. What matters now is that you know."
"Are you going to tell me the gender of my next grandchild?"
Emma holds hands with Killian, "Yes we will with everyone at the same time."
Everyone went to the living room to make the announcement. Belle, Regina, Robin, and Henry were all there. Leo, Rowand, Gideon, and Roland were playing on the floor. Regina, "Emma, how are you?"
"I am better now."
Killian, "Before we announce the gender of our babe. Does anybody want to take a guess on what were are having?"
Snow, "Girl."
Charming, "Boy."
Belle, "Boy."
Roland, "Boy."
Rowand, "Girl."
Leo, "Boy."
Regina, "Girl."
Robin, "Boy."
"Emma, you want to tell them?" He held her hand.
"Well, let's say we are having a little baby pirate- princess. It is a girl!"
Everyone was screaming. Snow hugged Emma and Charming hugged Killian, then the parents switched.
Regina hugged Henry, "You got what you wanted."
"Yes, I am so happy to have a little sister! It was hard to keep it a secret once I got home."
Regina, "Emma. I am so happy for you and Killian. I had a feeling that you were having a girl because once Henry came home he was happy." They both laughed.
Belle hugs Killian, "I am so happy for you!" Robin gives Killian a pat on the back, "How does it feel to be having a baby girl?"
"It feels awesome."
Emma, "Leo are you happy that there is a baby girl in my tummy?"
"Sissy, I am happy to have someone play with even though it is a girl."
Emma picks him up, "Well, this baby girl is your niece, meaning you always have to be nice to her and play with her. Like I play with you."
"Sissy, I am looking forward to meeting her."
"Me too, Leo."
Charming, "We also have to say something. We are calling Neal, Leo now. We figured out that Neal is a sensitive name for Emma. We did not know how much Neal did to her."
Emma, "Yes, being pregnant making me more sensitive especially with his name."
"His name is still Neal but Leo is his middle name and can be his nickname."
Snow, "Leo is my father's name; so I am happy for calling by his middle name." Regina and Henry smiled. "Now, let's go eat."
After a long time at the Charmings, Killian drove Emma home, she was exhausted. "Let's go to bed. The baby and I need to rest."
"Aye." Killian helps her out of the car and into their bedroom. "Did you have fun at the gender announcement party?"
"Yes, I did. Even though we had to change my brother's name."
"As long it makes you feel better. It is fine to me."
"It does. I always felt weird calling my little brother by my ex-boyfriend."
"Aye, having that flashback must've been awful."
"Yes, it was. I do not want to name our baby girl after someone. We can come up with a name of our own. What do you think?"
"I love that idea, Swan." They kiss and Killian rubs her baby bump with his hook hand.
While Emma changed into her pajamas, she spoke to her baby bump, "Mommy loves you, I will always protect you from harm and your name will be very special."
Emma fell asleep before Killian went to bed. He sat down and leaned his head onto Emma's baby bump, "Little lass, it is your daddy here. Your mommy and I love you so much already. Daddy will always be there for you. Everyone is so excited to meet you. Good night little one." He kisses Emma's baby bump and went to bed cuddling with Emma.
