Captain Swan Fly Away

Special News

Killian returned home early from work. He had a short flight. He finds Emma lying on the couch with Hope was playing with toys. "Dada!" Hope runs to her Daddy.

He scooped up his daughter in his arms and hugs her. "Hi, little love." He kisses his daughter on the cheek. "Mommy."

Emma wakes up seeing her husband home early. "Killian, you are home early?"

He kisses his swan on the cheek and sits down next to her. "Yes, I am, love. I had a short flight today. I was worried about you. About you two." He rubs her tiny baby bump

"I am okay. I am just feeling crummy, tired, and nauseous."

"That is why I am concerned, love." He wrapped his arm around his wife. Hope babbles. "So does our little love."

Emma smiles. "I am okay. It is part of pregnancy." She hugs her husband back. "Hope loves keeping me company. She gets upset when she is not in the same room as me."

"She knows her Mommy is not herself and wants to help her Mommy."

"She is keeping me company when I am on the bathroom toilet vomiting up nothing. Henry helps me bring me gingerale and keeps Hope distracted when I need to nap. I packed most of the kids' bags for the weekend. I even packed travel vomit bags for my morning sickness. I ordered on amazon."

"Are you sure about going to the farm this weekend? You're not feeling well. And your sensitivity to smell is really bad. The farm has many of bad smells from animal poop to hay and more."

"I want to go. The kids will have memories of traveling to their grandparents' farm."

"Baby."

"Yes, we are going to tell grandma and gramps about the baby at the farm. You are going to help me tell grandma and Gramps." Hope babbles. "I got the perfect shirt for her to wear." They both get a whiff of Hope's smelly diaper.

Killian chuckles. "Speaking of poop. I will change her upstairs." Emma follows them to lie down in their bed in their bedroom. He changes Hope's diaper in her nursery.
"Dada."

"Dada is home." He hugs his daughter. Hope babbles. "Do you want to play?" She shakes her head no. "Do you want a story?" Hope smiles big. "We are going to have storytime, little love." He gets The Ugly Duckling from the bookshelf and sat on the rocking chair and reads her the story. After reading the same story a few times, Hope fell asleep on her Daddy. He smiles Hope is always going to be his little girl. He cannot believe he will read to two babies in the near future, his little love and the baby on the way.

A few hours later, Killian and Hope picked up Henry from school letting his swan sleep in. She was exhausted and had morning sickness. When they arrived home, Killian helped Henry with his homework. They baked chocolate chip muffins for the road trip. Hope bangs her hands on the refrigerator looking at the sonogram photos of the newest Swan-Jones family member. "Baby."

"Yes, little love. That is the baby growing inside of Mommy's tummy." He gives her the photo. Hope screams.

"Dad, I think she is talking to the baby."

Killian chuckles. "Hope, can you give baby a kiss?" Hope kisses the sonogram photo. "Good job, little love. You are being a big sister already." He kisses his daughter on the cheek. He feels guilty when he has to work letting his tired wife with morning sickness take care of the kids. He is glad he is spending time with his son and daughter.

"Dad, are you excited to go to the farm this weekend?"

"Yes, I am. How about you?"

"Yes. Is Mom going to be okay on the car ride? She has been sick lately."
