Killian got a call later that night from a number he knew far too well, but just didn't want to answer. Neal's name flashed on the screen and he stared at it, waiting for it to go to voicemail.

"Aren't you going to answer that?" Emma asked.

"Nope." He said, popping the 'p.' "It's Neal."

"Fuck. I'm sorry, but I don't want him at the wedding. He tried to kiss me."

"He what?" Killian yelled. Just as the call was going to go to voicemail, he slid the answer button over. "You tried to kiss my girlfriend?"

"Killian, I uh-"

"Did you or did you not, mate?"

"Emma said she wouldn't tell you."

"Well she just bloody did. I want to know why you tried to kiss her? What made you think it was okay to do so?"

"Listen, Killian, I thought she felt as I did."

"What signs did she give off that said, "Neal, please take me away from this guy!"? Did she tell you that she wanted you?"

"No."

"Exactly. And you wonder why all the girls liked me."

"You know what? You kept things from me too! Why didn't you tell me that you moved to Storybrooke?"

"I'm the only one that's allowed to be angry here!" Killian yelled into the phone. "You know what? You aren't allowed to come to our wedding. I don't want to see your name or hear your name ever again. You are the worst friend." He spat and hung up.

Emma glanced up at him nervously. "I-I'm sorry I didn't tell you."

Killian spun around and looked at her. "It's alright, love. Maybe it was for the best. I probably would have killed him them and there. Hell, I might if I see his face ever again."

5 Months Later

Emma and Killian were getting ready to go see what the sex of the baby was. Emma's baby bump has grown, and her hormones were acting strange. Not strange for her being pregnant, but she couldn't wait for it to be done. She didn't like her size. She hated that one minute she was happy, but the next she was so pissed off, not even Killian could cheer her up.

"Almost done, Swan. Then we can have our little bundle of joy." He said with a smile on his face.

Emma shot him a glare and he laughed. "If you were the one pregnant, you wouldn't be laughing."

"Emma, you know I love you, right?"

She sighed. "Yes, and I love you too. I'm just tired. The little one kicks a lot and I feel fat. I just want him or her to get out of me."

"Yes, you are gaining weight, but that is for our baby Jones. You look beautiful as ever." He glanced at her for a moment before turning his gaze back to the road. "We might have to do it again because I rather like that look on you."

Emma scoffed. "In your dreams."

"Oh you know it." Killian said with a wink.

When they got to the hospital and into the room, Killian helped Emma onto the table and they waited for Dr. Burke.

As they were waiting, Killian's phone rang. He dug it out of his pocket and saw David's name lit up on the screen. She put it on speaker so Emma could hear too.

"What is it, Dave? Emma and I are in the hospital." Killian said.

"Neal moved into town." David said.

Emma fell back against the table and sighed. "Fuck."

Killian had told David what happened when Neal visited in Boston. David looked at them with a shocked face, while rage boiled in Killian's chest, even just by telling the story. Mary Margaret wrapped her arms around David to try to break him from his trance, and Emma did the same to Killian, but only so he would calm down.

"Damn. If he comes to you, can you not tell him where we live? I know he will find out because of this damn town's size, but let's try to just see how long it will last?" Killian asked.

"No problem. But how do you know he came for Emma?"

"Trust me. He did." Killian then hung up and looked at Emma, just as the door opened.

Dr. Burke walked in with her usual warm smile. "There's my favorite patient! Shall we see what we are having?"

Emma smiled and sat up. She grabbed Killian's hand. "We're ready."

Juliet put the cold gel on Emma's stomach and brought the wand over. "There. Your daughter is as healthy as ever."

"We're having a girl?" Emma asked and Juliet nodded.

Killian smiled brightly. He grabbed Emma's head and titled it up, and kissed her sweetly.

"Congratulations." Juliet said as she handed Emma an ultrasound picture. She smiled at Emma and Killian one last time and left the room.

"That's our daughter, Killian." Emma said, looking at the picture.

"It is, love. I had a feeling it was going to be a girl. David owes me ten bucks."

"You bet on what our baby was going to be?"

Killian smirked. "Of course not."

Emma hit his chest. "Give me your hand."

He hesitantly did as told. She brought it over to her stomach and placed it on the bump. As the baby kicked, both parents smiled. "Hello, lass." Killian whispered as he bent down to her stomach. "Daddy and mummy are here, and we want to tell you that we love you so much." He glanced up at Emma she she had a big smile on her face and tears of happiness in her eyes. "We can't wait for you to come out into the world."

Once they got back to their house, Killian ran over to Emma's side and helped her out. Emma saw someone standing in front of their door. She knew who it was, even though the person's back was towards them.

"Neal's here." She whispered.

Killian helped Emma up the steps, and Neal turned around. He held his hands up.

"I just want to talk." He stated.

Killian glared at him. "What do you want to say?"

"I want to apologize, for when I visited in Boston. Emma, I never should have tried to kiss you. I can see how happy you are with Killian."

"Yeah. You shouldn't have. Now leave." Killian hissed through his teeth.

"Congratulations to you both." Neal said as he walked down the steps.
