Killian's POV

Emma had our daughter 6weeks ago and I couldnt be happier. I was sleeping in bed when someone slapped my chest.

"Ow." I say.

"Get up." Emma says.

"Why are you dressed?" I ask.

"I told you Im going back to work today. Your taking care of Isabella." She says.

"Wait? All by myself?" I ask.

"Yeah. I have work and Henry has school. So yeah your taking care of her all by yourself. Now get up Henry is feeding her and he and I have to leave." She says.

I got up and got dressed and once Henry was done feeding Bella he handed her to me. Both Emma and Henry left and I was alone with the baby. I love her very much and it all seemed easy until she started crying. I tried everything, but she wouldnt stop.

"Shh Bella shhh. Please stop crying. Stop crying for daddy." I say rocking her in my arms.

She wouldnt stop crying and I felt like I was going completely insane. I called Emma, but she didnt answer. I placed her in her stroller and took her outside for a walk.

"Umm Hook. Your baby is crying." Grumpy says.

"I know and she wont stop. Please Bella shhh." I say.

I continued to walk and she still wouldnt stop crying. I walked into Granny's and got coffee and added some rum to it.

"Umm you really shouldnt do that while you baby is screaming." Granny says.

"Well she wont stop." I say.

Then the crying stopped and when I turned around Emma was taking Bella out of the stroller.

"I should have never left Daddy alone with you. He wasnt ready." Emma says.

"This awful. I cant even take care of my child without help." I say.

"Hey its okay. I guess I should have had come check in every soon often, but look she is in one peace and has stopped crying." Emma says.

"She hates me." I say.

"No she doesnt. Here now take her." Emma says and handed her to me.

Our daughter wasnt crying and Emma had lunch with us. Then I believed I could do this because the whole time at lunch I held our baby and she wasnt crying. Though once Emma left for work the crying started again.

"Oh so you want Mommy to stay. Aww my love its okay. Mommy will be back." I say.

She had then finally stopped crying and grabbed my hook. I guess I can do this after all.
