Emma  POV
~Two years later~

Two years have past. Me and Killian's marriage has never been stronger. We cherish every day with our family like it is the last.

Today is the two year anniversary of Freya's death. We planned to go to her grave and place flowers down and then spend the rest of the day with our family. Henry has went back on duty and took over as captain as Killian didn't want to go back. He is currently sailing through realms for the next two months.

Me, Killian and Liam walked to the hillside where Freya was buried. When we arrived we set out a picnic we had brought with us and spent time as a family. I also had a very special gift for Killian.

Two weeks ago

I had been having morning sickness for a while now and i knew what this could lead up to.

I could be pregnant

I wasnt ready for another baby, i was still trying to get over Freya's passing and another baby will make me feel like i am replacing her. I has the worst feeling about it but i decided to go to the hospital to get checked. I had to tell Killian i was going to my parents. I couldnt tell him, not yet anyways.

Dr.Whale immediately brought me into a room and took some blood to check if i was pregnant. I unfortunately had to wait in the waiting room for an hour. I couldn't help but bite my nails and hope for the results to come back quickly. I didnt know how I was going to react either.

"Congrats Mrs.Jones! Your pregnant..... With twins."

A smile swept my face. Of course i was happy i was pregnant. But there was a ringing bell in my head telling my gut that it didnt feel right. I knew however that Killian would be overjoyed as we have always wanted more kids. But this just felt like i was replacing Freya, even Liam too.

I wanted to keep the pregnancy a secret for a few weeks so i could surprise Killian when he least expected it.

Present day

"Killian, i have something for you."

"Okay, um whats the occasion?"

"Nothing just a surprise."

I handed him a yellow box tied with a ribbon and he smiles at me.

"Open it slowly okay?"

"Okay okay. Emma what are you up to."

"Just open it!"

We both laugh and Liam looks over too. I had already told him about the pregnancy and he was the one that recommended i told Killian on the anniversary. I was a bit hesitant at first but then i just felt that it would be a good way to cheer us up.

He slid the lid off and pulled out the tissue paper slowly until it revealed an envelope. He looked at me confused and then opened it.

He pulled out the sonogram pictures and stared at them for a few minutes.

"Wait, your pregnant!"

"Yeah! And look closely."

He was shaking with excitement as i pointed at the two babies. He realised that there was twins and smiled the biggest smile ever.

"Oh my gosh Emma! Your pregnant!..... With twins!"

He hugged me tightly and i cried into his shoulder. He pulled out and held my head with his hands and wiped a tear off my cheek. He smiled and kissed me passionately.

"Easy, Liam is still here."

"He is our son its fine."

"Killian dont be a goof."

He smiles at me for the next hour as we discuss basically everything. How much it ment to both of us and how so many things were going to change. We walked home and announced the pregnancy to everyone in the castle. Everyone was so pleased for us both and we planned a party that would happen in two days time. We got the invitations sent out and we felt relieved. We didnt announce the pregnancy in the invites, just that it was a normal ball. It was flying past so quick. I was too excited to see my parents reaction and the rest of the kingdoms.

We went to bed that night and i couldnt sleep. Killian slept with his arms around me and breathing heavily. I got up quietly and walked out on the balcony without disturbing Killian in his sleep.

The kingdom looked beautiful at night. The villiage lights were on and i could see my parents castle way in the distance. I breathed in the fresh air and smiled. I couldnt wait to raise two more  gorgeous children in this kingdom.

Them most important thing would be that no secrets would be kept. I'd tell them both everything once they are ild enough to know. I will read from the storybook and not one lie will comenout of our mouths. I wanted to start afresh. Like a clean slate.
