Yay, another chapter!! Sorry this took so long, but here it is!

Emma's P.O.V:

By the time time  finally get home, the anticipation is killing me. I'm so ready to just walk in and have Henry and Molly waiting siting on the other side.

After he parks the truck, Killian runs around the car to open my door, taking my hand to help me out of the car.

"Still a gentleman, I see," I tease, accepting his hand.

"Always," Killian smirks.

We head up the steps of the porch, nearing the door.

"Can I go in first?" I ask before Killian can enter. He smiles warmly, placing his hands on my shoulders, and kisses me softly. 

"Of course you can, darling." Killian keeps his arms around me, only releasing me once I've unlocked the door.

"Guess whose hooome!" I call into the house  loudly.

I'm met by a series of screams and squeaks followed by the pitter patter of  little feet on the hardwood floor coming my way.

"Henryyy," Molly whines as Henry drags her to the entrance.

Emma, Emma Molly!!  Henry signs, both of them appearing in front of me.

"Mommy!!!!" Henry squeals, running up to me.

"Hey kid!! Oh my goodness, mommy missed you so much!" I exclaim, lifting Henry up into my arms. He tucks his head into my neck, clinging to me tightly.

"You're okay," Henry mumbles, his little hands fisting in my hair.

"That's right, kid, I'm just fine. I promise," I answer, kissing his forehead warmly as J set him back down. 

"Emmy!" Molly smiles, running into my arms the moment Henry leaves them.

"Whoa," I laugh, startled by the impact as I hug her tightly. 

Hey hun! How are you? I sign to Molly, brushing a stray strand of hair behind her ear

"Missed you," she mumbles briefly before launching into a signed explanation of all that I'd missed.

I turn to face Killian, Molly still in my arms, and I'm met by a warm, loving smile that soon touches my lips.

"Good to be back," I mutter, tucking my head into the crook of his neck, my engagement ring glistening on my finger as Molly sits on my hip and Henry on Killian's.

"Good to have you, back" Killian whispers, kissing the side of my head.

Later tonight, after a whole lot of messing around in the kitchen, apple turnovers find their way on to four plates as our little family sits in a little circle on the carpet of the living room.

"So, kids, Emma and I have something we want to tell you," Killian starts, wrapping his arm around my waist as I sign to make things easier for Molly.

"What?" Henry asked excitedly.

"What do you think about Killian becoming your daddy?" I ask Henry softly. His eyes widen and suddenly he's jumping all over us, hugging and laughing.

What does that mean? Molly signs innocently.

It means Emma would be your mum, butterfly, Killian signs back. 

We wait for a reaction similar to Henry's, but it doesn't come. 

Instead, Molly simply mumbles, "oh," and goes on to take a bite of her turnover.

"Do you... want that?" I ask. Molly shrugs, avoiding everyone's eyes.
