Killian and Emma habitually woke up early the next day. They ate before watching TV for a couple hours then Killian went to go wake Anna Elizabeth.

"Anna Elizabeth, love? Wake up," Killian said as he gently shook her.

She removed the pillow that was covering half of her face and asked, "What is it, Uncle Killian?" before yawning.

"Well, Anna Elizabeth, Aunt Emma tells me you've been wanting to go fishing, and I thought we could go today," Killian told her as he stroked her curls.

"Really?" Anna Elizabeth asked as a smile lit up her whole face.

Killian nodded before he said, "Yes, love. Why don't you get dressed and then you can come eat some breakfast."

Anna Elizabeth climbed out of bed as Killian went back into the kitchen.

A few hours later, Killian, Emma, and Anna Elizabeth were walking to Granny's after an enjoyable morning of fishing. Anna Elizabeth had managed to stay calm enough to catch two fish on her own, and now she was craving chicken tenders. She was just ahead of Killian and Emma, who were walking hand in hand. Emma then heard her cell phone ringing.

"Hey, Mary Margaret. What's up?" Emma said to her sister-in-law. After listening for a couple minutes, the blonde said, "Great. See you there."

As she tucked her cell-phone back into her pocket, Killian asked, "What was that about, love?"

"Everyone is meeting up at Granny's for lunch," Emma answered.

"Ah," Killian began before he continued, "Perhaps we can share our good news with them." He then said more quietly, "Because if we don't, someone else will," as he inclined his head toward the little girl in front of them.

Emma smiled in response before something occurred to her, "I want to tell everyone, but Regina and Robin just announced their engagement a couple weeks ago. I don't want to steal their thunder."

Killian joked, "Well, we wouldn't want to upstage Her Majesty," as Emma smacked his arm and motioned for him to shush. He only smiled before he sincerely continued, "Even though Regina and I have our differences, I know how close you two are. If you want to wait a little longer, it's fine with me, love."

Emma smiled at him and squeezed his hand just as they came upon Granny's. Regina was standing outside talking on the phone. Emma shot her husband a look as he let go of her hand and brought their niece inside.

When Regina got off the phone, Emma said, "Hey, Regina, can I talk to you for a second?"

"What's going on, Emma?" Regina asked.

"Well, Killian and I have some news that we wanted to share with everyone," Emma began as Regina added, "What did Captain Sarcasm do now?"

Emma smiled as she finished, "Well, I found out yesterday that I'm pregnant."

"That's wonderful, Emma. I'm happy for you and Capt... Killian," Regina said as she offered her friend a bright smile. She then asked, "Does anyone know?"

"Uh, no. We were thinking about telling everyone over lunch, but you and Robin just told us you guys are getting married, and we didn't want to overshadow that."

Regina gave Emma an understanding look before she said, "Don't worry about it. It'll just be something else to celebrate," as she smiled at her friend.

Emma smiled back at her, and both women walked inside.

After everyone had their fill of food and light conversation – both of which kept Anna Elizabeth blissfully occupied – Killian and Emma shared a look before Emma got the attention of their family and friends, "Hey, guys. Killian and I want to tell all of you something." Everyone's faces had a curious expression as they turned toward the couple.
