Captain Swan Fly Away

After Surgery

 Emma in the middle of her 7 months pregnant. Hope has been with her Mama during her recovery, snuggles and being over protective of Ian inside of Mama's belly. She hugs her daughter knowing her daughter is being a loving big sister already to the baby. Killian painted Ian's nursery ocean blue color while taking care of his wife during her bedrest from her recovery from appendicitis surgery. Allison and Joe visited the family often. The two sisters talked as Joe was getting to know the family. She even had a sonogram, for her 7 month pregnancy. Ian was growing and healthy as he should be. Killian built Hope's big girl bed on the floor with the help from Joe. Emma decorated with floral bedsheets and Minnie Mouse bedding. Hope was jumping on her big girl bed with glee. She took photos of Hope on iPhone.

"Dada! You!"

He hugged his daughter. "You are welcome, little love." He faced his daughter. "When you are napping and night night you stay in bed. Understand?"

"She is 19 months."

"I know. But she is a smart lass like her Mama." Hope babbles and goes to her Mama and hugs her.

"You like your new big girl bed!"

"Mama Dada bed."

"Yes!" Hope jumped up and down more making her parents smile bigger. "We can still snuggle in Mama and Dada's bed." She hugged her Mama. Emma tickles her making her laugh. Killian smiles at his wife and daughter's moment.

Killian and Emma were slowly getting the nursery ready in between bed rest and their shifts at work while raising a 7-year-old son and 19-month-old daughter. She ordered baby boy onesies and items for her son on the way on the website Amazon. Her Mom and sister bought a few items for the new baby on the way to spoil Ian. Knowing her Mom and sister, at the baby sprinkle they are planning, with the help of her friends from work, her sister and Mom, the nursery was filling up with baby supplies next month. Henry's adoption is at the beginning of March and her baby shower is the weekend after.

Emma was back at work when she got a phone call from her Mom. "Hi, Mom."

"Hi, sweetheart. I had to pick up Henry early from school."

"Is Henry sick?"

"No, that is not it. He was falling asleep in class. When the teacher asked me why he was sleeping. He just began crying."

"Crying? Did he tell you?"

"He told me he wants to talk to you."

"Now, I think of it, he has been pretty quiet lately and tired. Where is he now?"

"He is watching a movie with Hope. She has been hugging her brother ever since we picked him up from school."

"I should have known." She wiped her tears away.

"Sweetheart, he wants to talk to you which is a good sign that he trusts you. He will tell you what is wrong."

"My shift ends before Killian's flight lands in the evening."

"He is happy to be at home, Emma."

"I will be home soon."

"I will tell him." The mother and daughter's phone conversation ended. Mary Margaret brought chocolate chip cookies to her grandchildren.

"Ookie!" Hope gives a cookie to her big brother. He kissed his sister on the head.

"Awe,Hope. You are being such a good sister to Henry." Hope babbles. "Henry, your Mom will be home soon from work." Hope reaches out her hand to get a cookie.

"Here you go, little princess." She gives her a cookie.

A few hours later, Emma returned home from work. "Hi, Mom."
