Happy Beginning Captain Swan

260 Christmas Prep

Henry has been volunteering in Hope's class to assist Miss Kelly in the art classes to gain experience for his teaching major and needed hours. He was teaching the kindergartners in art projects. Hope was getting more comfortable in school, with her big brother in her class. Emma and Killian dropped Hope off and picked her up at school in the afternoons. Killian worked at the pub as Emma stayed home with Leia and Ian. He only does morning shifts at the sheriff's station when it is quiet. Emma cooks easy recipes as Ian is napping. She lets Leia help her cook in the kitchen. Leia loe getting messy in the kitchen.

As December approached, snowstorms began. Hope understand what a snow day is. A snowstorm was hitting Storybrooke, Maine. Killian began salting the steps. He returns inside. Emma playing with Ian in the living room, in the early mornings while the rest of their kids were sleeping. Ian rolled over. "Good job, baby boy. You are getting better at rolling over! She kissed her son's cheeks, scooped him up, and held on her chest.

Killian smiles seeing his swan and son playing. "Daddy is here with us, Ian."

He entered the room. "Good morning, son. I see you are playing with your Mama!"

"We have been playing very early this morning. He is rolling over much more now."

"That is my boy!" He takes his son from his wife and spun him around. Emma smiles, her husband is so happy to finally have his mini me,a son.

Emma hears her iPhone notification. She received an email from Storybrooke Elementary school. "Hope has a snowday."

"Aye, I know Hope will be happy."

"Her and Henry." Ian gurgles. "Ian, you are happy to have your big sister home from school." She kisses her son on the cheek. Ian smiles and pats his Daddy's shoulders. They both kiss Ian on his cheeks. Ian laughs. Emma and Killian were both surprised, hearing their son's first laugh at 4 months old. Emma kissed her son's cheek, Ian laughed even more. Killian smiles, they were both their for their sons' first laugh. He kisses Ian cheek more, love hearing his son's laugh. Ian began crying.

"Ian." Emma takes her son from her husband. "Ian, is it your naptime?" She wrapped her son's baby blankie around him.

"Aye, playtime is over, for our little guy." Ian cried more. "We are going to play after your nap son." He takes his son from his son. Ian stops crying. Emma was in awe.

"Swan,I will be upstairs, our son wants his dada for his naptime." Emma kissed her husband on her scruffy cheek and kissed her son on his cheek. The two Killians went upstairs. He sat on the rocking hair and told his son a pirate tale.

Emma tidied up the living room as Killian began cooking breakfast. Henry was studying for exams Leia playing with Ava the dog.

A little while later, Hope gets upset when her Mommy gets ready to leave to the frontyard. Emma faces her daughter. 'Why are you crying, little duckling?"

"You leaving."

She hugged her daughter. "I am not leaving, sweetie. I am only shoveling snow with Daddy outside. Today, we are going to have fun. Daddy bought a tree yesterday. We are going to decorate the Christmas tree."

"Ian too?"

"Yes. You can help us with snow?"

"Can I walk in snow?"

"Yes."

"Yay!"

Emma helped her daughter dressed into snow gear. Leia finds her Mama. 'Mama."

"Leia, we are going to go in the snow! Do you want to play in snow?"

"No, cold." She stayed with Henry in the living room. Emma and Hope went outside.
