Thankful

Emma was 8 weeks pregnant during Thanksgiving week. Her parents planned a Thanksgiving meal happily since their daughter has returned and their grandson's first holiday with them. Killian has been taking care of his swan. His pub was closed for the holiday. He was taking care of his swan in the bathroom as she was having morning sickness. David was with his grandson, helping him get ready for the day.

"Turkey day."

"We are having turkey for dinner tonight. We are having breakfast and watching the Thanksgiving Parade."

"Gwanny's?"

"Yes!" The grandfather and grandson leaves the apartment.

Killian was rubbing Emma's back when she was finished. They hear the door. He catched his swan in his arms. She nuzzled her boyfriend's scruffy cheek.

Snow White entered the room, "Your father took Henry to Granny's for breakfast." She gives her daughter a glass of ginger ale and a plate of toast.

"Mom." Killian take the plate from Snow White.

She hugged her daughter who began crying. "You are going to be okay."

"I cannot eat too much on Thanksgiving. A holiday I missed..."

"You are going to feel better later. You are home, which I am very thankful for. Your father and I were so sad when you were gone from us. You came home with our first grandchild. Our family is only getting bigger that is all. I am thankful for my next grandbaby." She kissed her daughter on the head.

"We are going to celebrate the holiday together, love." She helped her daughter up and back to her room.

"Snow, I will stay with them." She leaves the room. Killian went to Snow White, "We can cook the turkey at my apartment."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. My oven is free to be used. I don't want Emma to be more sick. I can take it over now."

"I can."

"I can. I also can buy more saltines before heading back here."

"Thank you."

"You are welcome. I am happy to help."

"I mean, after finding out what Neal had done to her, isolating her from us for 6 years and abusing her for so long...She has been through so much. I am happy my daughter has found you."

"I am happy to be a part of your family."

"You and my next grandbaby are a part of our family."

"I know your husband has his eyes on me."

"Yes. But he likes you." She finished foil covering the turkey.

"I will be back." He carried the turkey to his car and drove to his apartment.

Killian sets the turkey in his over and sets the timer on his iPhone. He returns to the loft, David and Henry were watching the parade. "Papa Killy!"

"Hi, little pirate."

"Papa watch pawade."

"I will join you, lad."

"Killian, what time did you start the turkey?"

"I started it at 11:30 am." He gives David the keys.

"Snow, told me you suggested it."

"Yes. I did not want Emma to get sick from the smell of the turkey."

David smiles. "I will go check on the turkey."

Killian went to the bedroom. Emma was awake. "Hi, love."
"Hi."
