Happy Beginning Captain Swan

Ch.202 Thanksgiving 2021

On Thanksgiving day, Killian took Hope and Leia on the Jolly Roger early in the morning to check on their second home, letting Emma sleep in since she went to bed late. She was busy prepping for the Thanksgiving meal with Henry's help. They were chopping up making cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, stuffed mushrooms, and cleaning the turkey while catching up. Killian was tending Leia during the night, while his swan and son were downstairs. Now, he was holding Leia in his arms who was gurgling away, while checking on the Jolly Roger with Hope. "You love the Jolly Roger, on the ocean, Leia?" Leia was smiling and gurgling. "Aye, I love being by the water, too. I am grateful to have my two homes, the home on land and home on the ocean." Leia gurggles. "I love both homes too, littlest love."
"Dada! Wope."
"Aye, we do need a knot lesson. We can show Leia knots."
"Yes! Leia knot lesson." He sits next to Hope on deck and gave her a knot lesson while Leia was cooing. Hope smiles at her sist who was looking at her. "Baby sis."
Henry was at Mulan and Aurora's apartment, painting little Phillip's Toy Story theme wall. After his Mom told him about Aurora's husband, he wanted to help out. Mulan loves having Aurora and Phillip living with her now. She feels she is not alone anymore and happy. She is enjoying seeing Henry step by step painting Phillip Jr.'s room as she was cooking for the holiday. "Henry, it looks great."
"Thank you. I only started Mulan. I am only at the beginning. I will come over tomorrow to work on it."
"What are you doing for Thanksgiving?"
"Ava and her Dad and brother are coming over. I invited my other Mom, who has issues with Ava and her family because of what she had done to them. She promised me that she will be nice to them today. Aunt Allison and her family are also joining us. What are you doing today?"
"Aurora, Phillip Jr. and I are going to Ashley and Thomas's house for Thanksgiving. I am just cooking stuffing to bring over. Ashley and Aurora go close when they were in the Mommy and Me classes. Are your grandparents coming over?"
"I do not know. My sisters cry every time whenever our grandma is around."
"Snow White has been helping Aurora and Phillip Jr ever since your Mom helped them move here."
"My Mom had trust issues with my Grandma..."
"I remember when your Mom was getting to know our grandma in the Enchanted Forrest. Your Mom was gaining your grandma's trust. I also helped them go to their castle before Cora destroyed the enchanted wardrobe. I know Zelena had done a lot of your sisters and your Mom in her body. Snow White is trying to gain trust back to your Mom."
"I will tell her." He continues to paint.
Phillip hugs Mulan. "Mommy-Mulan, Henwy painting my wall."
"Yes, he is. He is making your toy Story wall."
Henry smiles seeing Muna happy with her son. "Phillip, who is your favorite character"
"Buzz and Woody!"
"I will paint them both for you."
Emma wakes up not seeing her family. She took a shower and cleaned the house before their guests arrived. She relaxed in the living room watching Macy's Thanksgiving parade. Killian and the girls arrived home. Hope found her Mommy in the living room. "Dada, Mommy is in living woom."
"Hi, Hope."
"Mommy! Happy turkey day!"
"Happy Thanksgiving, Hope." Emma scooped her daughter in her arms.
"What are you watching?"
"I am watching the turkey parade."
"Can I sit wif you?"
Emma smiles, "Yes, you can sit with me, Hopey." She puts Hope on her lap and kisses her on the head. Killian carried Leia and the diaper bag. "Littlest love, we are with Mommy."
Emma smiles. "Happy Thanksgiving, Killian."
"Happy Thanksgiving, Emma." They kiss. Leia coos.
"Leia, it is your first thanksgiving, baby girl." Leia reaches out to her Mommy. "Hope, do you want Leia to join us?"
"Yes!" Hope sat to her Mommy as Killian laid Leia in his swan's arms. Emma laid Leia on her chest. Hope hugs her Mommy.
"I have my two girls with me." Killian takes a photo of his swan and his two little ducklings.
"Where is Henwy?"
"He is painting Phillip Jr.'s bedroom at Mulan's house."
"Aurora and Phillip are happy in Mulan's house?"
"Yes, they are happy and safe with Mulan. Aurora's very mean husband is not going to hurt her anymore."
"You and Dada helped them?"
"Yes, we did. Mommy's job as sheriff is to help people in town."
"Mommy Dada hero job."
"Yes, we are little love. We make sure everyone in town is safe." Leia coos.
"Yes, you saw Mommy and Dada being heroes for the first time." She kissed Leia on the head and felt Leia's diaper was full. "You need a diaper change, sweetie." Leia began crying. Emma takes Leia upstairs to her room and changes her diaper. "Leia, today is Thanksgiving, which is where we tell each other what we are thankful for." She changes Leia into a turkey onesie, My 1st Thanksgiving. Leia gripped her Mommy's finger. "I am thankful for you, Leia. You are my rainbow baby. After Mommy had Hope, Mommy had many babies that died in her tummy. It made me really sad. But when I found out I was pregnant with you, I was so happy. You were the baby that stayed in my tummy and grew big and strong." Leia coos. "Yes, you are my rainbow baby. You made me a Mommy of three little ducklings." She puts Leia on her chest who gripped her tee-shirt. "I love you, Leia." She kisses her daughter on the head. Leia coos. "Let's go back to watch the parade." She brings Leia back downstairs, Killian was sitting next to Hope.
"Mommy."
"I am back, Hopey." She sits next to Hope who hugged her. "I am right here, sweetie. I am watching the Turkey parade with you and Dada."
"Stay wif you, Mommy." Leia gripped Hope's hair. "Baby sis!" Emma chuckles. "You and Leia, are staying with me."
"Swan, I am going to put the turkey in the oven." Killian goes to the kitchen to put the turkey in the oven.
Henry comes home from painting. He finds his sisters and their Mom in the living room. "Hi, Mom. How is the parade?"
"Good. How was painting?"
"It is going well. I am half done with the wall."

Henry hugs Hope. "Happy Thanksgiving Hope." He spun Hope around and see her on the couch. Leia coos. "Happy Thanksgiving Leia." He holds his sister in his arms. "Leia, you are wearing a turkey onesie. Did Mommy change your onesie?" Leia chews on his finger. He sits next to his Mom and sister. He laid Leia on his chest. "Baby sis, Henry is here."
Emma puts Hope on her lap. "Mommy hug."
"I am giving you a hug." She hugs her daughter. "Look, Hope there is a lemon balloon."
"Lemon, wellow!"
"Little sis, the yellow lemon is the show This is Us."
"You know the show This Is Us, kid?"
"Ava got me into the show."
"I've been wanting to watch that show."
"It is a good show. Cassidy Sharp reminds me of you." Emma chuckles. They continue to watch the parade. The Disney Wish Cruise float came to 34 street, with Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, Moana, Cinderella, Tiana, Rapunzel, Ariel, Chip, and Dale were ont the float. Hope jumped up and down. "PLUTO!!!! Hope goes closer to the screen on the television. "PLUTO on TV!!! Dada!! PLUTO ON SHIP!!"
Killian enters the room seeing Hope's excitement. "I see Pluto little love."
"Yes, Hope, we see Pluto baby girl." She sits next to her daughter who was excited to see her favorite Disney character. She and Killian smile at each other. "Pluto is in New York."
"PLUTO!!" She jumped up and down. Killian took a video of Hope's excitement on his iPhone.
Henry looks down at his baby sister. "Leia, Hope is very excited to see Pluto on the television." Leia coos.
After Jordan Fisher sung, "Pluto stay in pawade."
"He is going bye-bye."
"Can we see him in New York?"
"He is sailing back to Disney World, in Florida."
"Mom, we need to go to Disney World."
"Yes! That is going to be our next family trip. Killian, we need to plan a trip to Disney World in Florida."
Leia began wailing. "Baby sis, are you hungry?"
"Kid, give her to me."Henry laid Leia in their Mommy's arms. "You are hungry, baby duckling?"
Killian arrives with the warmed up bottle."'Swan, I have her milk." Emma bottle-fed her daughter, who pushed the milk away.
"Baby sis cwying."
"Little sis, do you want to see what I painted today?"
"Yes! H time?"
"Yes, Hope." He takes Hope upstairs to his bedroom, so his parents can calm down their baby sister. Hope sat on Henry's lap as he showed her the photos he painted of the wall from his iPhone.

"Yes, Hope. Is it good?"
"Yes."
"Swan, she ate before on the Jolly Roger."
Emma sighs. "I changed her diaper." Leia cried more. "Baby girl, why are you upset?" She bounces her daughter up and down. "You are my sunshine My only sunshine,You make me happy, When sky's are grey, You'll never know, dear, How much I love you, Please don't take my sunshine away. Leia gripped her Mommy's shoulder and stopped crying. "You are with Mommy, baby girl."
Killian faces his littlest pirate. "You are with your Mommy, little love." Leia coos. "Yes, you are happy to be with your Mommy.
"You just want to be with Mommy." Emma yawns.
"Swan, I will set the table before the guests arrive."
"Leia and I do need a nap. Someone had too much fun on the Jolly Roger."
"Hope and I did give her a knot lesson. She is a little pirate just like the rest of us." He kisses his little pirate on the cheek.
"Leia, we get to snuggle in Mommy and Dada's room." Emma takes Leia upstairs. She passes by Henry's room, seeing Hope talking to Henry. She laid down on her bed with Leia snuggling on her chest. "You are with Mommy, Leia. I love you so much."
Hope enters the room. "Mommy! Leia!!"
"Leia, your big sister is here. Hope, join us."
Hope climbed onto the bed. "Snuggle?"

"We have to be quiet because Leia needs her nap."

"Henwy join us."
Henry sits on the bed. "I do need to lie down."
"All three of my ducklings are together." henry gets Leia from their Mom who began wailing.
"Kid, she jsut wants me to hold her." Emma puts Leia back on her chest who stops crying.
"She is crying when I hold her because she does not know me."
Hope faces her sister. "Leia, Henwy is our bwother." Hope hugs her brother.

"She just wants to be with the girls."
"You are right." He faces his baby sister."You just want to be with Lizzie." Leia began crying.

"No, Auntie Emma. I have my iPad. I am playing mine craft."
Allison rolled her eyes. "Lizzie loves playing on her iPad."
"I can tell."
Killian,Ted, and Mike joined them in the living room. "Swan, the football game is on."
"You can put it on." Killian, Ted, and Mike sat on the couch and watched the football game. Nicholas and Connor were playing against each other in games on their Nintendo Switches.
Leia began crying, Allison gave her to her Mommy. "Leia, you are with Mommy." She puts her daughter on her chest.
"Auntie Emma, is Leia okay?"
"She just needs her nap that is all." Emma brings Leia upstairs to the room, she hears Hope talking to Henry and Ava. Her daughter cries more. She sat on the rocking chair and rocked Leia to sleep. She puts Leia in her crib.
The doorbell rings, Killian answers the door, it was his Regina. "Hello, your majesty."
"Hi captain eyeliner. Happy Thanksgiving."
"Come in."
Regina enters the house. "I brought brussel sprouts."
"Thank you, I will bring it to the kitchen."
"Where is Henry?"
"He is playing with Hope upstairs."
Regina goes upstairs finding her son in Hope's bedroom playing with her and Ava. Hope sees Regina. "Hi! Ina!!"
"Hi, Hope."
"Hi, Regina."
"Hi, Ava."
"Mom!" Henry hugs his Mom. "Hi."
"Hi, Henry. How is it being back home?"
"Good. I painted the wall for little Phillip. It is half done."
Hope goes to her brother. "Ina, let Henwy pway, pwease."
Ava goes to Hope. "You can play with me, while Henry talks to Regina."
"Okay, bwo play soon."
"Yes, I will, little sis."
Emma enters the room. "Hi,Regina."
"Hi, Emma. I just put a protection spell around your house..."
"Oh no, bad magic." Hope hugged her Mommy's legs.
"Let's talk downstairs."
Henry gets Hope from their Mom. "Hopey, we are staying up here."
Regina goes downstairs with Emma. She gets her husband. "Killian? We need to talk.."
Killian knew it was serious. "Emma, Hook, with Leo's darkness, Gold wants to wipe Leo's memories so he can be good."
"Wiping his memories is the only way to stop him?"
"Also, our memories of him to..."
"Bloody hell no!!" Leia cries upstairs.
Allison goes to her best friend. "Emma, I got Leia." Allison goes upstairs.
"Is the spell, like the snow queen, has done to me and Anna and Elsa?"
"I think so."
Emma sighs, "Even with the memory block, I still had a bad feeling with the Snow Queen. Hope will still get a bad feeling with Leo even if her memories are wiped."
"Aye, is there any way we can stop him?"
"Your parents need to agree with him on this before he wiped the memories away."
Emma thought of Hope and her Mom."Is he going to wipe memories of Hope with Snow White?"
"That can be a possibility."
Emma got an idea. "Killian, keep an eye on the turkey." She puts her red leather jacket on. "I will be right back."
"Swan..."
"I am going to talk to the dark one." She leaves the house and drove her yellow bug to Gold's house.
Belle answers the door. "Happy Thanksgiving, Emma."
"Happy Thanksgiving, Belle. Is Gold home?"
"Yes, he is. I will go get him."
Rumpelstilskin arrives. "Miss Swan, what are you doing here?"
"Regina told me your plan about wiping Leo's memories away."
"I am planning on it, he still a pain in the butt to teach to be good too."
"He is a sociopath and trained by Zelena. He is brainwashed to be evil. I do not wipe his memories will help him."
"That may be but I am running out of options."
"Are you going to wipe everyone else's memories too?"
"No only his."
"You are not going to wipe out Hope's memories?"
"Ah, now I know the real reason why you are. You are concerned about hope."
"Yes, I am for my daughter."
"I was not planning on using magic on your daughter. She is Gideon's best friend. If your parents agree to my offer, I will only use my magic only on your brother."
Emma knew Gold was telling the truth. "Thank you, Gold."
Gideon arrives holding a container of brownies. "Emma, here, dis is for you and Hope."
Emma smiles big. "For me and Hope? Gideon, thank you."
"Mama and I baked."
"I know they will be delicious." She hugs Gideon and leaves their house. She arrived home, smelling the turkey being cooked, hearing her family and friends talking and laughing, something she never had as a child but giving to her family.
"Swan." He hugs his wife. "How did it go?"
"Gideon and Belle made brownies. He especially told me that he made them for me and Hope."
"Aye, Gideon is a good little lad. What did the crocodile said?"
"That he will only use the magic on Leo to everyone else in town."
"He is telling the truth?"
"Yes, I used my superpower." Killian smiles.
Hope hears her Mommy's voice. "Mommy, you are back!!"
Emma scooped Hope into her arms. "Yes, I am back, baby girl. I went to Gideon's house. He and Belle made brownies for us."
"Chocolate!"
"Chocolate is the best treat. We are going to save it for another day. Ava and Nicky made pies for today."
"Hungwy."
"We have to wait for the turkey to finish cooking first, little love." He puts extra desserts in the kitchen.
"Mommy stay."
"I am not leaving, Hope." They went to the living room, Lizzie was playing with Connor and Nicholas. Henry was talking to Regina while holding hands with Ava. "Auntie, Mommy is back." Emma sits next to her best friend."Yes, she is. How did it go?"
"It went well, for talking with the dark one." She sees Leia fast asleep in her swing. "Leia can sleep through all of the talking?"
"Yes, your daughter can." They both laughed.
The doorbell rings, Emma answered the door carrying Hope on her hip, it was her Mom. Hope began crying and moving around. "No! No!! Stay away, Mommy!!"
"Do not cry, Hope."
"You are bad." Snow White snickers to Hope.
Emma gripped her daughter tightly. "Hope, you are staying with me, baby girl." Snow White charges at the mother and daughter. She puts her arm out and shoots her light magic out of her hand."Do not hurt my daughter!!" Emma shocks Snow White with her light magic, knowing it was Zelena.
Leia was wailing in her swingset. Henry takes his baby sister from her swing. "Aunt Allison, I got my baby sis." Henry takes his baby sister outside.
Killian and Regina arrive. Regina goes to Snow White. "Snow White."
"She is not Snow White Regina. It is Zelena. She just tried to attack me and Hope."
"She is Zel-ena. Not gwanma."
"Zelena is not going to hurt you."
"You used your light magic Mommy. Mommy, my hewo."
"Yes, I did. She was not going to hurt you or our family"
"You too, Mommy." Emma hugs her daughter and kisses her on the head. Her daughter is safe with her not hurt by Zelena. Killian hugs his wife and daughter. "Are you okay?"
"Yes, Zelena tried to attack me and Hope. I am okay. Hope gave me the sign."
"Dada, Mommy hewo."
"Yes, your Mommy is a hero. You are a hero to little love."
Regina examines Snow White, "Emma, and Hope are right. " She used her dark magic all over Snow White. "This is not Snow White."
She wakes up from a concussion,"Bloody Hell!!! That brat used her light magic on me!!" Hope was screaming, hearing Zelena's voice. Killian handcuffs the witch. Mike arrives and helps Killian lift the witch off the porch.
Killian was furious at the crazy witch. "You are trying to hurt my family again!! Trying to ruin a holiday!!"
"I am not with my daughter, so should not be Emma!!"
Regina was tired of her sister being crazy. "You want to see Rowand?"
"Yes!! Yes!!"
"You will see her." She looks at Emma and Killian. Mike stays with Zelena helping Killian. Regina goes to Emma. "Call whoever is on call. I will tell Robin to bring Rowand here."
Emma knows Regina is up to something and makes her phone call. "Lily, I need you to come to my house. Zelena is being arrested again for trying to impersonate Snow White and assaulting an officer."
"I am on my way."
Ava and Allison went to the backyard to check on Henry with Leia. On the way to the backyard, "Ted, can you check on the turkey?"
"I am on it."
Lizzie followed her Mommy. Allison lead Lizzie and Connor outside. Lizzie hugs her Mommy. "Mommy, why is Hope still afraid of Snow White?"
Allison faces her daughter. "Because when Zelena the wicked witch was pretending got be Snow White, she scared her a lot by hurting her and kidnapping her."
"She kidnapped Hope causing her almost to die?"
"Yes, sweetie. Her Mommy and Daddy got her to me on time."
"You saved her Mommy."
"Yes, I did. I was doing my job That is why Hope is afraid of Snow White."
Lizzie hugs her Mommy. "I feel sorry for Hope and Leia. Nana is a better grandma than Snow White."
"Yes." She hugs her daughter. "Auntie Emma and Uncle Killian, are going to put Zelena away."
"Leia, we are far away from grandma." Leia grips her brother's shirt. "You are with me, baby sis." He sat down on the hammock. "You are with me baby sis. You are safe with me, Leia. I am your big brother." He kisses Leia on the head and gently rocked her in the hammock, which helped her stop crying. He puts the binky in her mouth."Everything is okay, baby sis. Your big brother is here."
Emma was holding Hope as the sheriff's patrol car arrived, seeing her dad and Lily. Mike and Killian and Regina were guarding Zelena. "Mommy,Zel-ena leave?"
"Grandpa, Lily, and Regina are going to put Zelena in a prison cell."
"Good." Emma hugs her daughter and went to her Dad.
"Emma, what happened?"
"Zelena came here disguised as Mom and tried to attack me and Hope." Charming and Lily bring Zelena to the patrol car.
Robin and Rowand arrived. "Mommy." Hope began to cry.
"Little love, come to Dada."
"Dada."
Killian takes Hope from Emma. "Swan,I will take her inside."
"Dada, Henwy and Leia."
"Aye, we can go find your big brother and baby sister." He takes her inside the house.
Henry was coming down the stairs with Leia. "Dad, Leia, won't let go of me even in a diaper change."
"Son, your sister knows she is safe with you." He rubs Leia's cheek. "Dada see you are happy with Henry." Leia smiles at her Daddy.
Emma and Charming see Robin and Regina lead Rowand to Zelena. "Rowand, Mommy is here."
Rowand hugged Regina. "No, you are not. You are the one who took my magic away."
"You are my daughter."
"No, you are not my Mommy. My Mommy is right here."
"I am your Mommy, Rowand."
"You are the one who stole me and used me for my magic, the mean lady who hurt a lot of people." She looks up at Regina. "Can we go home?"
"Yes, Rowand." Robin holds Rowand and takes her away from her biological Mom.
Zelena was mad, Charming, Lily, and Mike stopped her before attacking her sister."Regina, you turned my daughter against me."
"No, I did not. You did because she sees what you have done to hurt people in this town. This is your fault!! If you want her in your life, stop ruining Emma's life!! It is not her fault, it is all yours." Killian goes to his swan and hugs her. Charming and Lily put Zelena in the car. "Do you think Regina planned work?"
"I think so, letting Rowand see what Zelena is and terrified of her. Also, show her sister what Rowand sees her as." Lily drove Zelena away with Regina. Robin took Rowand home.
Charming goes to his daughter. "Are you okay? Is Hope okay?"
"I am okay, Dad. Hope is going to be okay, she knew that I protected her against Zelena, she called her hero."
"You are her hero."
"Do you want to join us for dinner?"
"I would love too."
"Swan, let's go back inside to our children."
They return back inside, finding everyone in the living room talking and laughing. Henry was holding sleeping Leia on his chest and Hope was with Allison. Charming joins Henry and Ava on the couch with Allison and hope. 'Hi, little princess."
"Hi, Gwamps. Baby sis sleeping on Henwy."
"Yes, she is sleeping."
"She wants Henwy."
"Hope is right. Leia just wants me to hold her."
"I told you, Henry, Leia loves you." She faces her daughter who was fast asleep. "She loves her big brother."
Killian, Ted, and Mike set the tables and chairs outside.
Killian returns to the living room. "Everyone, the turkey is ready." Everyone cheered and went outside. "Mommy, sit next to you." Emma holds Hope on her hip and sat down with Hope on the chair next to her. Henry sat in between his Mom and girlfriend. Leia was fast asleep on him.
"Leia loves being held by you."
"She knows that I can keep her safe."
"You are a great big brother to her and Hope."
Allison and Ted sat across from Killian and Emma. Nicky and Mike sat across from Henry and Ava. Charming sat next to Lizzie and Connor. Everyone passed around the turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, stuffed mushrooms, and sweet potatoes. After Emma made her son a plate, "Henry, I can hold your sister."
"Mom, Leia can be with me while I eat."
Leia woke up crying. "Kid, it is time for Leia's bottle." She scooped Leia in her arms, "Leia, I know you are hungry, little duckling." She returns inside with Leia and heated her up a bottle. "Your bottle will be ready in a few minutes." She bounces Leia up and down. The microwave chimed. She sits down and bottle feeds Leia. "There you go, little duckling." Leia looked up at her Mommy with her matching green eyes. Emma smiles. "Little duckling, You are with Mommy, Leia. I had to be a hero today. I need to make sure no one takes your big sister's memories away. Also, the mean Zelena tried to hurt Mommy and Hope. I used my light magic so Zelena won't hurt Hope, me and you, Henry, and Dada. Being a hero is part of my job." Leia gripped her Mommy's shirt.
Hope enters the kitchen, "Mommy, Leia eat outside."
"We will come outside after Leia finishes her bottle."
"Want you and Leia outside." Hope gives her Mommy the pouty lip.
Emma smiles, Hope is using her pouty lip just like her Daddy. "Leia and I will join you outside."
"Yay! I will open da door." Hope opens the door, Emma chuckles.
"Thank you, Hope."
"You are welcome, Mommy." They return to the table. "Dada, Mommy and Leia are back!"
"Now that your Mommy and sister is back. It is time to eat your turkey and mashed potatoes."
"Yes, Dada." Emma continues to bottle feed, Leia. Killian burps Leia so his swan can eat her meal. He holds Leia in his arms who grabbed his hook with her hand.
"Killian, Leia is your mini-me."
"Aye, I think she is my mini-me, Allison. She loves my hook just like her Mommy and her big sister." He kisses his daughter on the head. Allison took a photo of Leia and Killian.
"Everyone, I want everyone to say what they are thankful for."
"Mom, I will go first,I am thankful for my two sisters, my parents, and for my Ava."
"Henry, I am grateful for you, my Dad, and my brother. I am thankful for my family being together, not homeless. Thanks to Emma for reuniting us with our dad during the dark curse." Emma smiles at Ava. Leia fusses. Killian rubs Leia's back. Hope was sitting on her Mommy's lap. When it was Charming's turn, "I am grateful for my wife how is back to normal she and Leo are with Ruby, I am also grateful for my daughter, my son-in-law who takes care of my daughter and my three grandchildren. Killian, your turn."
"Aye, I am thankful for my beautiful wife, Emma. My son Henry and daughter Hope." Leia coos. "I have not forgotten you, little Leia. I am thankful that you are part of our family, little pirate princess. You completed our family."
Emma faces Hope. "Hope, what are you thankful for?"
"Mommy, Dada, Henwy, Leia, and Pluto." Everyone laughed.
"You love your Pluto."
"Yes, Mommy."
"I am thankful for my whole family. A family I never thought I had until Henry found me and I met Killian. am grateful for my three children and my husband wh I love so much."
"Aye, I love my Emma so much." They kiss.
"Eww!"Hope covered her eyes.
After dessert, Henry and Ava were talking. Hope and Lizzie were playing in the backyard. Charming was holding Leia in his arms. "Dad, she likes you."
"Of course, she does. She knows I am her grandpa." He smiles down at Leia. Emma takes a photo of her daughter with her Dad on her iPhone. Leia began crying. "Emma, someone wants her Mommy." Charming laid his granddaughter in his daughter's arms.
"Leia..Leia..." Leia looks up at her Mommy and stops crying. "You are with Mommy, baby girl."
Killian wrapped Leia in her blankie. "There you are, little love. Nice and warm."
Hope goes to Henry and Ava. "Henwy!"
