Captain Swan Fly Away

October

Emma and Killian took their children to their grandparents' new farm in Upstate New York for apple picking. Even though she was having morning, she was enjoying watching Killian helping Hope picking apples on his shoulders. Her Dad helping her son Henry with the high places of the tree. Mary-Margart carried Connor to her daughter. "How is my daughter doing with baby on the way?"

"He or she is giving me morning sickness. Not as bad as I was with Hope but on the way up here was rough."

"Nana."

Mary-Margaret was surprised to hear Connor's new ord. "Nana. I like it."

She faces her nephew. "Good job, Connor."

"Em-em." She kissed her nephew on his cheek.

Allison returns outside with a glass of ginger ale. "This is what you need."

"Thank you. I am sorry for the bad ride here. Morning sickness and two 1 year olds crying most of the way.."

She hugged her sister. "I am happy to help my little sister and my niece or nephew on the way."

"I have the best big sister ever." They hugged.

Emma was 13 weeks pregnant on her birthday week. She is finally finished with her morning sickness. She is 4 months along with her pregnancy,her baby bump is showing. Killian loves kissing her baby bump everyday and talking to his son or daughter on the way.

Emma took her daughter to the park after dropping off Henry at school. Hope walks over to her Mommy and hugs and kisses the baby bump. "Baby."

She faces her daughter. "Good job, Hope. The baby knows your voice." She walked with Hope on the baby side of the playground. Emma gets a phone call from her sister. "Hi, Allison."

"Hi, Emma."

She can sense something was wrong. "Is everything okay?"

"No. Connor has a fever. I have no one to watch him. I cannot find a babysitter on this short notice."

"I can watch him."

"Emma, you have Hope and Henry. I do not want Hope and Henry to catch whatever he has. You are pregnant. I do not want you or the baby get sick."

"I can watch Connor, big sis. Hope and I are coming over." Emma ends her phone conversation. "Hope, we are going to play with Connor." She carried her daughter to her yellow bug and buckles her in. She drove to her sister's house.

Allison opens the door wearing her blue scrubs. "Emma."

"Allison."

They hug. "Thank you for watching Connor."

"You are welcome."

"Aahah!"

She holds her niece and hugs her."Hi, little niece." She kisses her on the cheek. "How is my baby niece or nephew on the way?"

Emma smiles and rubs her baby bump. "Growing. The baby stopped giving me morning sickness. I can eat more now. I have my appointment with Dr.Peirce next week. As you can see I am showing earlier this time around."

She rubs her hand on her sister's baby bump. "He or she is loved so much already. I can watch Henry and Hope, if you need a babysitter."

"That is great. How is Connor?"

"He was being extra fussy last night. I took his temperature, 99.00. It is a little high."

"Connor is going to be with me and Hope." Hope babbles reaches out for Allison.

"Hopey." She hugged her niece. "How is Henry?"

"He is enjoying school. His reading is getting better. Killian and I take turns reading him at night." Hope babbles.
