Henry was still on winter break he and his Mom planned a day to go ice skating. As Henry was getting ready he went to his Mom's room, "Mom, I read online that we have to wear long thick socks when we ice skate."

"Yes, we have to wear long thick socks. The ice rink is outside, we are going have to wear layers."

"You mean enough layers to be warm but still able to move?"

"That is right." Killian brings in crying, Hope.

"Little love, we are with Mommy."

She takes her daughter from her husband. "Hope, are you hungry?" Hope hugged her Mommy and stopped crying. "You just wanted time with Mommy." She kisses Hope on the head.

"Mom, does she know that..."

"Henry."

"That is a yes. I am going to find long socks." Henry left the room.

"Mommy."

"Hopey. Are you happy to be with Mommy?" Hope babbled with made Emma smile. "I love being with you my little duckling."

"She loves being you swan."

"I know. Are you sure you can watch her today? While Henry and I are ice skating"

"Love, Hope will be happy with me. She will have fun with me."

"She is not letting me go."

"Love, I can take Hope to the Jolly Roger or the library."
