This is Us

Summary: Emma and Killian experience important moments in her pregnancy together. (Includes some missing scenes from 7x02.)

Rating: G

Note: Well, I am mourning CS and I wasn't all that happy with their last episode. I was especially disappointed that we never got to see any important moments in her pregnancy and didn't get to see them with their baby. I was hoping we'd at least get a few little snippets. So that's what fanfics are for and that's why I wrote this one. I hope you enjoy it! ~Steph

...This is Us: Part 1/1...

Emma smiled as she finished lighting the last candle on the dining room table. She glanced at her watch. Killian would be home any minute now. She wanted everything to be perfect when she told him he was going to be a father.

They had been trying to conceive for a long time. Emma was starting to worry that they wouldn't be able to conceive naturally and would have to explore alternatives. There had been a couple of false alarms. Emma was late, but when she took the pregnancy tests they were negative. Her doctor attributed her late periods to stress.

There was a part of Emma that feared she might never be able to have a child with Killian. She worried that maybe she was being punished for giving Henry up all of those years ago. But Killian, always understanding, had soothed her fears, assuring her that when the time was right, they would conceive a child of their own. She wanted nothing more than to raise a child with her husband, her true love, right from the start of its life.

About a week ago, she realized that her period was a couple of days late again. She wanted to tell Killian, but he had been so disappointed after the last two false alarms. This time, she wanted to be sure before she got his hopes up. So she took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. Two more confirmed it. Still, Emma wanted to be absolutely sure, so she had confirmed it with her doctor this afternoon. The joy she felt at knowing she was carrying Killian's child was indescribable. She wanted to run and tell him, but she resisted. They had waited this long and she wanted it to be special when he found out he was going to be a father.

Emma heard the front door open and then slam closed.

"Emma, I'm home," Killian called.

Emma smiled at the sound of her husband's voice. Even after years of marriage, his voice still made her heart race.

"In the dining room," she replied.

Killian appeared a moment later, a smile on his lips at the romantic dinner before him and his wife in the dress she'd worn on their first date.

"What's all this?" he asked, placing a kiss on her cheek. "Did I forget a holiday of this realm?"

Emma shook her head and took his hand. She led him to his seat.

"I wanted tonight to be special," she said, as he sat down.

Killian cocked an eyebrow and looked up at his wife. "And why is that?"

Emma moved to the hutch on the wall behind him and picked up a bottle of rum. She came to stand in front of him and placed the bottle on his plate.

"This should answer all of your questions."

Killian looked down at the bottle of rum. A label had been printed and affixed to it that read:

DRINK THIS FOR ME.

I'LL JOIN YOU IN ABOUT 9 MONTHS.
