A New Beginning

Chapter Thirty

The next morning, David and Snow wake up early and start packing their belongings. They both feel a little tired and hungover from their late night, but they are excited about going back home even though they will miss their holiday. After getting everything packed up, they check out of the hotel, grab a taxi to the airport and board their flight back to their home. They feel a sense of contentment, knowing they had a memorable and amazing honeymoon. Now, they can't wait to see their Son Neal, their daughter Emma and everyone else.

Meanwhile, Emma is almost seven months pregnant. She has a noticeable baby bump and is starting to feel the effects of being pregnant. She is feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness about the arrival of their child. Killian is doing his best to support her, making sure she's comfortable and taking good care of her. They are both eagerly awaiting the arrival of their little one.

In their latest appointment, the doctor tells Emma that the baby is healthy and growing well, and that they're on track for a normal delivery. Emma feels relieved but also a bit anxious about the upcoming birth, while Killian is trying to stay calm and reassure her. They discuss plans for the nursery and talk about the different things they need to purchase. Emma feels a bit overwhelmed by all the preparations, but with Killian's help, they start making a list of things they need to get done before the baby arrives but Killian has a surprise.

As a few days comes by, Emma's pregnancy starts to become more uncomfortable and she finds it harder to move around and do everyday tasks. Her back starts to ache, and she gets tired easily. Killian does his best to help her out, taking on more of the household chores and spoiling her with extra TLC.

At night, Emma struggles to sleep, as her growing belly makes it harder for her to find a comfortable position. Killian tries to help her get comfortable by giving her massages and finding different pillows for her to use, but still, her sleep is disrupted by the growing discomfort of her pregnancy.

Emma starts to notice small changes in her body, like how her feet are starting to feel swollen and her clothes are starting to tighten around her belly. She has a few moments of feeling frustrated and self-conscious about the changes to her body, but Killian is quick to reassure her, telling her she looks beautiful and that he loves her no matter what.

Emma lets out a sigh as she sits down on the couch, her hands resting on her swollen belly. "I really can't wait for this to be over," she says, wincing a little as she shifts her position. "I never felt this terrible when I was pregnant with Henry."

Her back gives a dull ache, and she rubs her tummy gently. "I feel all swollen and uncomfortable all the time, and I'm just so tired," she mutters, feeling a bit miserable about it all. "Plus, I don't like all the weird cravings I've been having."

Killian comes over to her and sits down beside her, putting a gentle hand on her back. He begins to rub her shoulders for her, trying to soothe her aches and pains. "It's all going to be worth it, love," he says, trying to comfort her. "Just think, in a few months we'll have a beautiful baby in our arms."

Emma looks up at him, her expression a mix of exhaustion and resignation. "I know, I know," she says, letting out a sigh. "It's just hard to remember that when I feel like this. I'm tired all the time, and my body just feels so...off."

Killian nods in understanding, his hand continuing to rub her back. "I know it's tough," he says. "But you're doing amazing, Swan. This won't last forever, and you're strong enough to get through it."

Emma leans into his touch, feeling a wave of gratitude for his support. "Thanks, Killian," she says quietly, her voice slightly muffled as she rests her head on his shoulder. "I don't know what I'd do without you."
