Emma's POV

"Happy 14th birthday Henry!"

Everyone claps as Henry blows out his candles on his cake. I smile and look up to my handsome husband who was smiling at our son, yes you heard. As me and Killian are married, he now shares custody with me for our son. Although Henry doesn't really call him dad as often, it's still heart melting to see him finally have a father figure. Liam is technically my brother and he came 15 a few weeks ago. It was so scary to me and Killian to see them both getting older and more mature.

I lifted the cake and brought it back into the living room to cut it up for all the guests. Killian followed me and and wrapped his arms around my waist and onto my now large stomach.

"You and Mary Margaret did such a good job on the cake, it looks great."

"Why thank you, but I know your just being nice so you can have a slice."

"You know me all too well Swan."

I laughed as I divided the cake evenly and began placing them into places. Killian helped out by handing them out and when we were done he helped himself to a slice. I cleaned up the kitchen a bit and then sat down at the kitchen island.

"What's wrong Swan?"

"It's just, this time last year, Henry would have been rushed to hospital. Quite a lot has happened and it's making me eternally greatful to have met you when I did."

"Aye love, it has flew in. And I feel the same way. I'm so lucky to have met you."

He kissed me and then washed up his plate. We both walked into the living room to see the boys and the guests outside. We decided to go out after them on just watch what was going on. We didn't want to spoil their fun so we let them do what they wanted to.

The party ended around 5pm and all the guests left. Henry brought all his presents up to his room and counted all his money up. Killian helped him set up his new phone and then left him to it.

"I was thinking."

"Yes love?"

"How about we buy some things for the nursery tomorrow, we need to get that started soon."

"That's a great idea, we will buy some paint and decor tomorrow and get the crib?"

"Mhhmmh. Sounds good."

Once the house had been cleaned up we all set off in the car to go to a restaurant for Henry's birthday dinner. We had brought helium balloons and banners just to embarrass him at the dinner table.

Sure enough Henry was in fits of laughter at the fact we had brought all this stuff to the restaurant. We all enjoyed ourselves and embraced each other's company.

We finished up and then got into the car to go home. I drove home for the first time in ages because Killian had a glass of champagne and didn't want to drive for that reason, even though he wasn't actually drunk.

The boys went straight to bed as did me and Killian and we began discussing some ideas for the baby nursery and then soon feel asleep in mid thought.

Killian's POV

Today me and Emma were planning on finally getting the baby nursery decorated. We were told that because Emma had a rocky first trimester, she could go into pre term labour. So we wanted to be prepared and buy everything today and get it all done and dusted.
