Happy Beginning Captain Swan

Ch.238 5 Year Old

Emma is 6 months pregnant on her daughter's 5th birthday, April 20th. Emma and Killian planned Hopes' birthday party together. Dr.Claire wanted Emma to be on bedrest not going on the Joll Roger sailing. The living room was decorated with balloons pink and silver balloons, a number 5 balloon, a birthday banner, and the cake was decorated, which Emma made. Killian helped decorate the cake and cupcakes. Emma was sitting with Hope who was fast asleep in bed. "My baby, you are 5 years old. I love you so much. You will always be my baby,Hope." She cannot believe Hope is a 5-year-old and going to be in kindergarten in the fall. She felt huge and loved feeling her son kicking around inside of her. "Ian, today your big sister is 5 years old. You will be with us next year on her birthday."

Killian arrives upstairs after returning from the Jolly Roger. "Hi, love." They kiss.

"Hi, honey." He rubs her baby bump. She can tell something was wrong. "What is it?"

"We need to talk but not around the birthday pirate princess."

Emma waddled over to their bedroom. "What is it?"

"How are we going to tell Hope that her party will not be on the Jolly Roger? This will break our daughter's heart."

Emma rubs her baby bump knowing he does not want to disappoint their daughter as she does. "We just have to tell her the truth that Mommy's doctor told me not to sail. But.."

"But?"

"We can still go on the Jolly Roger and have Hope's party..."

"Swan? The baby."

"I can technically be on bedrest on the Jolly Roger as long we are not sailing..."

"Aye I see what you mean." He smiles.

"I do not have to disappoint Hope."

He rubs his swan's baby bump. "Ian your Mama is a very smart, beautiful woman."

Emma smiles. "Let's wake up our birthday girl."

He helped his swan up and they walked, Emma waddled to Hope's room. "We have a five-year-old."

"Yes, Hope is not a toddler anymore." She began tearing up.

He hugged his wife. "We are raising our Hope, who is a young child. Our little love will always be our baby duckling. We still have little toddlers, Leia who is going to be a big sister to her baby brother soon. We are not going to run out of babies to raise love." Emma chuckles.

Hope wakes up seeing her parents. "Mommy! Daddy!"

"Happy birthday Hope!" She waddles over to her daughter.

Hope smiles and hugs her Mommy. "Mommy."

"Happy birthday, little duckling!" She kissed her daughter on her cheek.

"Daddy!"

"Happy birthday, little love." Killian gives Hope a big hug. His daughter is getting big and not a toddler anymore. They both hug their daughter at the same time.

"Jolly Woger Daddy?"

"Little love, we are going on the Jolly Roger for your birthday. We cannot sail."

"No sail today?"

Emma knows it is hard for Killian tell Hope not to sail. "Yes, sweetie." She hugged her daughter. "We cannot sail today.." Hope began crying into her Mommy. "I know you are upset. Mommy cannot sail because of the baby."

"Baby cannot sail?"

"Yes. Mommy's doctor wants to make sure the baby is safe inside of me."

"Daddy steer Jolly Woger safe for baby."
