Chapter 19 Baby

3 months later....

Brennan is chasing his father in the front yard, toddling after him as fast as he can. "Good job Brennan!" Killian said as he kicked the little ball in the grass. "Killian!!" Regina shouted, and came outside, "What?" He asked, "It's time!! Molly's coming!!" Regina yelled.

In perfect timing, David pulled up in his car right when Killian and getting Regina into theirs. "Wow you're good," Killian said, "Well I had a feeling it was going to happen," David said, "Here let me drive," he said and he got in and Killian got in the back with Regina. Mary Margaret and David had welcomed a son just a year before, only 6 months younger than Brennan. 

"Oh my god!! This is our daughter!! She's so stubborn !!!" Regina screamed, "I know love, but you can do this, she'll be in our arms soon enough," Killian said. Regina pushed and pushed and beads of sweat covered her forehead, and the baby was free from her, but there was silence aside from Regina catching her breath. "Killian! Why isn't she crying!?!?" Regina screamed, "Come on Molly," Killian said, staring at the baby in the doctor's arms, she was though pink, not blue. "Molly!! Listen to your father!!" Killian yelled now, panic in his voice, and Molly cried.

Killian and Regina both let out a huge sigh of relief, "Bloody hell, you can't do that to me," Killian said taking the little girl in his arms, "Oh Molly, you can't do that," Killian said, as he got Molly to her mother's arms. "She's ok right?" Regina asked, as the little girl got into her secure arms, "She's perfect love, just bloody stubborn like us, so we better prepare," Killian smiled and gently touched his tiny daughter's hands as she opened her ocean blue eyes to see her parents. "Hi Molly, welcome to the family," Regina said smiling and Killian kissed her. 

2 months old-- *Molly crying* "Come on Molly, listen to your father, stop crying," Killian said, Molly continued to wail in her little cradle. Killian sighed, as Regina came in with Brennan, "She listened to me in the hospital," Killian sighed, "I think that was a one time thing, babe" Regina said. "Well then we are in deep trouble as she gets older," Killian said.

Regina picked Molly up, and handled feeding her, and Killian took Brennan outside. Their toddler boy was adjusting okay to the new baby, Regina was on leave for a bit. That Sunday, "Love, I can handle them both, Molly is 2 months old, you haven't a moment alone since she came, just go check on your apples, and I'll handle these two," Killian said. "Ok, fine," Regina sassed him. Reluctantly, she went to check on her little business, and her regular customers were happy to see her and she was able to show them new pictures of her new little addition.

Killian was planning to bring the kids to Regina at lunch time, so she could nurse Molly. 

Killian left with Brennan and Molly and headed to work. Brennan was seemingly more quiet than usual. "Hey Mate, you okay back there?" Killian asked, both carseats faced backwards and Killian had a mirror in the back so Brennan could see him in the driver seat. "Brennan, you ok?" Killian asked his son again, "Yea..." his son said softly. Killian got the baby carrier strapped onto himself, and put Molly inside, she liked it a lot, and Killian still had the sword necklace Regina gave him all that time ago. "Out," Brennan whined, "Hey hold on mate, patience love, I have to get your sister," Killian said.

Killian got Brennan out and held his hand, "Up!" Brennan demanded, "Daddy can't hold you mate, with your sister, just walk," Killian said. Brennan whined a bit, and Killian went inside. Regina's other workers immediately saw the little baby attached to his chest, and started to 'Oo' and 'aw' at the little girl. "Oh she's so beautiful, Hi," one said. 

"Come on mate," Killian said, "No!" Brennan snapped at him, "Excuse me? I don't like that," Killian said to his son, "No daddy!" Brennan said, Killian took his son's hand and led him to the corner in the office, "You stand there then, until you want to talk nice to me," Killian said. "No, Daddy!!" Brennan got angry at him, and threw a fit. "Oh bloody hell," Killian sighed and Molly started to cry hearing her brother.

"Well, going well?" Regina walked in, "Funny," Killian said, "You're outnumbered," Regina said unstrapping Molly, "I was doing fine until the little man decided to have a tantrum," Killian said. "What's wrong with him?" Regina asked, "I don't know, he started to talk back to me," Killian said. "Well, I'll take this one," Regina said leaving with Molly. "Come here you," Killian said sitting down in his chair, and Brennan walked to him, "What's wrong?" Killian asked, his son didn't have much to say, he was only 2.5 anyway, "Ok, well, you can't talk to Daddy like that, do it again, and Daddy will spank your bottom," Killian said picking him up and going around work with him in his arm.

That evening, at home, Molly kept crying on and off, "Where is her bloody pacifier?" Killian asked, "It was just in her mouth," Regina said looking around, they looked over and Brennan had it in his hands. "Brennan, did you take that from her?" Regina asked, Killian knelt down to his son, "Mate you can't take your sister's pacifier, as much as I love being reminded that she has powerful lungs," Killian said taking it back and they put it in Molly's mouth.

"I think he's jealous," Regina said, "What?" Killian asked, Brennan had gone off to play himself, "You think so?" Killian asked, "Mm, he keeps taking her pacifier, certainly seems like it," Regina said. "I should have known the lad felt this way," Killian said, "Don't worry, we can fix this," Regina said. "This is where we save the day as the parents?" Killian asked, "Yup, come on," Regina said carrying Molly into the other room where Brennan had his toys out.

"Sweetie, are you mad?" Regina asked. Her son, not even being 3, found it hard to express and understand his own feelings of course. "Are you sad at Daddy?" Regina asked, Brennan looked at his father, who tilted his head and smiled, "Mate?" He asked, "Baby take Daddy," Brennan said. Regina looked at Killian with a smile, "You think Molly took your daddy," Regina said. 

Killian smiled and picked up his son, and placed him on his knee. "Lad, you didn't lose me, I'm both your Daddy, I love you and Molly so much," Killian said. "My Daddy," Brennan said. "Aww, I am, and that won't change, and you are in charge of Molly too, you're bigger," Killian said. "You can't take her pacifier sweetie, it gives Mommy and Daddy a headache," Regina said.

Killian laughed, "True, Molly has some lungs," Killian said. "Come on you," Killian picked up Brennan, who giggled as his father tickled him holding him over his head. Regina smiled, "These two are going to be a challenge," Regina said, "Oh I like a challenge," Killian smirked and kissed her.

Molly began crying again, for the third time that night, "Mmm.." Killian groaned, "Remember what you said about a challenge?" Regina asked in the dark room, "Yes I remember, this is not quite what I meant," Killian said. "Oh Molly," Killian sighed and picked her up and she moved her tiny hands toward her neck, which meant she was hungry.

Time went on, and Molly was now past the waking up every two hours at night. She was in her bouncy chair in the morning, kicking and wiggling around and smiling brightly at Killian. "Well that is a lovely morning greeting. Who is my happy girl?" Killian smiled at the happy little girl, she found her hands and started to put them in her mouth a lot now. "Why should I feed you darling? Hmmm?" Killian asked playfully as the little baby smiled at him, his same little cheeks showing through. "Daddy!!" Brennan ran into the kitchen, "Oh hey," He scooped him up, "Hi Molly..." Brennan said. "Aww," Killian said as he held Brennan over her, and Brennan kissed Molly's little hand. Molly put her hand right back in her mouth, "Molly hungwy," Brennan said, "That she is lad," Killian smiled.

Later that day, "What are you guys doing?" Regina asked as Killian and Brennan were on the floor on their stomachs, with Molly in between on her tummy. "Teaching Molly to crawl of course," Killian said. Molly was pushing herself up a bit, now 7 months old, Killian and Brennan both inched forward, "Come Molly," Brennan said, and Killian and he both moved, and Molly tried to move as well, putting her hand forward trying to get to Killian, "Come on love," Killian said and Molly smiled at him and her big brother. Regina smiled and watched as the two guys got Molly to inch toward Regina.
