All That She Wants

3rd Person

Emma is going to place total blame on Aoife and Liam, she really is. It's their fault that she wants this, she didn't want it two weeks ago but now she's obsessed.

Maybe it was that catchy song about a single mother that made her want this so badly, the artist singing about the woman in the song 'all that she wants is another baby' made her think, and she felt like an idiot for sympathizing for a fake woman!

Unfortunately, however, as much as she told herself she was an idiot, it didn't stop her from being similar the woman in the song and wanting another baby of her own.

She couldn't help it! Looking at her babies and seeing how big they had gotten made her so sad, and what was wrong with wanting another baby with the love of her life? They only had two and they definitely have the money for another, they have a spare room and she has unlimited time to spend with her children so why does she feel so guilty?

Oh yeah, she feels guilty because she didn't factor her oh-so-loving husband into the equation of having another child, and didn't technically ask him before coming off birth control.

Yeah, she really should have spoken to him.

It's not like she had anything to show for it anyway, she wasn't pregnant or so the test in her hand says, so she has time to speak to him about it.

However, she didn't exactly mean for it to come out in the way it did. She had told herself to sit in bed that night and talk to him, consider his thoughts and ultimately decide whether or not they'd try (with him knowing).

That was the plan anyway.

Another thing she didn't factor in is that she has two young children under the age of five who like to play adventure with daddy. So, as luck would have it, less then two days after throwing the negative test in the bin with a sad sigh, the test is place on their dining room table with a very confused husband standing above her.

"Want to explain?" He asks softly, sitting down on the dining chair next to her.

With a cough, she nods and places her book that she was reading down. "Yeah, I think it's best that I do huh?" She says softly and takes the test in hand slowly.

He hums, and nods, watching her movements as she observes the test.

See, this is where a normal person would just spit it out and tell the truth, but oh no, this is Emma Swan, who will never just admit to tricking her husband into trying for a baby.

Doing what she does best, she pretends. "I'm uh...this is Tinks." She states matter-of-fake-factly. "She took this test here yesterday when you were at work. One night stands right?" She shrugs.

To his credit, Killian just nods, not expecting his wife to lie to him, and smiles softly. "Ah! I thought that you would know. Thanks for clearing that up, sorry I placed another woman's pee stick on our table." He says, shrugging as he takes the test and throws it away.

Oh God, she really is an awful human being. Her perfect, so freaking perfect, husband believes every word that comes out of her mouth and would never be mad at her for wanting another baby he'd probably support her and comfort her over the fact she wasn't pregnant.

New plan, she is going to tell him, the truth and nothing but the truth (She really needs to stop binge-watching judge shows) that night, no exceptions.
