A Cinderella Story

Chapter 25

"Mom! I'm late." Emma panicked.

"Just breathe. It's only 8 am. You have plenty of time." Snow said.

"No I mean I'm late." Emma said again.

"Oh... Oh!" Snow's face lit up.

Emma was completely freaked. Two kids and a kingdom was already hard and now adding a baby into the mix would make it impossible. She didn't know if Killian wanted another baby.

"Have you taken the test?" Snow asked.

"I haven't had time."

Snow rolled her eyes. "You haven't had time to pee?"

Emma sighed. "That's not what's important right now."

"So you're just going to wait and figure it out when you have a baby bump?"

"Mom stop." Emma growled. "I will take the stupid test."

Snow nodded.

"I will take it. Just not right now." Emma sighed. She walked out of her room and went to find Killian.

Killian was out with Henry. They were by the lake, spearing fish. Emma walked up to them. She put a hand on Killian's shoulder and kissed his cheek. Killian smiled and wrapped an arm around Emma, pulling her in closer to him. 

"Morning Love." Killian kissed her forehead. 

"Morning." Emma smiled softly. 

Killian could sense something was wrong but he decided not to ask. He would just let her tell him when she was ready to. 

"Mom has the wedding set for two weeks from tomorrow. The venue or whatever it's called is going to be in the great hall of the castle. Your father had agreed. They're planning decorations and setting up next week. Everything is set in motion."

"I can finally call him papa!" Henry exclaimed. 

Emma and Killian laughed. They both knelt down on either side of Henry and planted a quick kiss on his cheeks. They hugged. 

"Swan. Can we have a word?" Killian asked. 

Emma nodded. They headed off the docks. 

"What's up?" Emma asked. 

"I don't think I can marry you. Not if you keep secretes from me." Killian stood his ground.

Emma looked at him in disbelief. "You're the one that proposed."

"Yeah. But I'm having second thoughts."

Emma scoffed. "You knew very well that this is who I am when you proposed."

"I was too foolish to believe you would change once we were married."

"I've been there and never gave up on you." Emma was getting angry. "Even when you were so in love with Talia."

"You know I didn't really like her."

"Seems to me like you did. Maybe you should marry her instead." 

Killian turned around and punched a tree. "Why is it so hard for you to be honest with me?" He yelled. "I'm worried I could lose the kingdom; the trust of the people."

"Well at least you aren't worried about being pregnant!"

Killian looked at her surprised. He exhaled. "I-I'm sorry."

Emma sighed. She calmed down. "No I'm sorry. I didn't mean to tell you like that."

Killian held her hands and gave them a gentle squeeze. "You really think you could be pregnant?"

"I don't know. Maybe. I mean I haven't taken the test yet."

"You didn't take the test?"

"I wanted to wait to do it with you. I wasn't sure if you even wanted another baby."

"As many as you want, I want."

Emma took the test. Now it was a matter of learning the results. 

When the time passed, Emma checked for the result. 

"What does it say?" Killian asked. 

Emma looked at the test and sighed. "Mom's going to have to rethink my wedding dress. Corsets are out of the option."
