Pregnant with Roxy

It's not what you think. Roxy just exists and Emma's pregnant.

Emma's POV

I was in my bed room watching TV with Roxy who is now 1 year old, sleeping right next to me. She has been real gentle with me ever since I've been pregnant. She doesn't jump on my and barely bark around me. She also sleep near my stomach too. It's weird. I could hear Killian coming up the steps and into the bedroom. We greeted and Killian comes to kiss me. Well, as he's leaning, Roxy growls. Killian backs up in confusion.

"I know you are not growling at me." He warns. I giggle. He touches my hand and Roxy snaps at his hand. He retracts it. "Swan." He whines. I laugh harder. He slowly tries to touch my stomach, bad idea. Roxy growls in menacing way. He scoffs and rolls his eyes. "Can I say hi to my child and wife!?" He asks Roxy. I smile. I pet Roxy on her head.

"Good girl." I whisper. Killian rolls his eyes. Roxy glances my way. Killian goes around to the other side of the bed. He sits on it. Roxy turns her whole body towards him and growls. Killian lays near me. Roxy puts her law on my stomach. Killian and I chuckle. He swiftly put his hand on my stomach. Roxy went crazy. She started shaking her head snapping. Killian retracts his hand once again. "Killian, stop. You can't loose your other hand." I say. I continued to laugh at Killian and Roxy, just being in the cross fire.

The next week

Everyone was at my parents house. We brought Roxy along so she can socialize with everyone else. My mom and I were talking when Killian came up behind me and touched my shoulder. I jumped because so didn't hear him. "Oh." I exclaimed and glanced behind me.

My mom and I chuckled. All of a sudden we hear a growl and a snap. All I saw was glistening white teeth open and close, nipping Killian knuckles. Everyone gasps. I stand back to see Roxy sitting, looking up at me with her cute eyes. She looked so innocent. I chuckle. "Not again!" Killian mumbles.

I laugh. No one else ha d any idea what I was laughing at.  I felt like I needed to explain. "Roxy I guess 'protects' the kid from Killian. It's actually really funny." I explain to my mom. My dad walks over to Roxy and bends down to her Haight.

"THANK YOU ROXY. I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT YOUR DOING MY JOB." He yells, making sure everyone understood him. Killian throws his hook and hand in the air like he was defeated.

Through out the whole night, Roxy snapped at anyone who came close to my stomach. Even Henry and mom. "Excuse me? I am her mother! I am allowed to see my grandchild!" She playfully scolds at Roxy. Roxy just growls. Let's just say, I feel safe with Roxy around.
