Captain Swan Fly Away

New Job

After Killian landed at JFK Airport, Emma, and Ashley and he greeted every passenger off the plane. A snobby rich man wanted to get off the plane before a partially blind woman, Emma got furious. "Excuse me, sir. Can't you see this woman is ahead of you?"
"I am in first class, I should get off the plane first."
"Not just because you are in first class, disabled people get off first." She guides the partially blind woman off the plane.
"Thank you."
"My name is Emma."
"Emma, some people assume that I am fully blind when I am only half blind, they do not know that there is such thing as half blind people and they assume a blind person is fully blind. It hurts that they do not know that half blind people can see when they are being jerks. Thank you for sticking up for me."
"You are welcome. Let me take you to the luggage carousel."
"Thank you." Emma takes the young woman to the carousel and made sure she was safe with her family.
"Thank you, Emma." She returns to her gate outside and waits for her husband. Killian arrives and hugs her.
"That was amazing what you have done for that young lass."
"Yes, I hate when people are being pushed around by selfish people just because they are different." He kisses her on the lips.
"You are my caring loving wife. How is the little love?"
Emma puts her hand on her abdominal. "Safe." They walk together into the airport and find their boss.
"Are you ready to tell him?"
"Yes." They walk into their boss's office. "Hi, Mike."
"Hi, Emma and Killian."
"I need to tell you something..."
"Yes, Emma."
"I am pregnant."
"Congratulations. You know you cannot fly being pregnant."
"Yes, can I work on the ground instead? At check-in?"
"Yes, you can. You are starting your new position tomorrow at your regular time."
"Thank you, Mike." Killian and Emma walk out together.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes, I am happy that I can still work. I will miss flying with you captain."
"Aye, I will miss working with you to swan, you have to think about the babe."
"Yes. I cannot wait to find out when the baby comes." They walk together to their car. Killian drives them home from work. They arrive home to Flushing, Queens. Their house is a good size house with three bedrooms, kitchen, living room with a basement, attic and a garage. Emma and Killian both take showers and ordered in for dinner. Emma looks at her soon to be a baby bump in the mirror and rubs it. "I cannot wait to meet you, sweetie. You do not know how much you are loved already." Emma remembers the rape from living on the street....the pain she suffered...finding out she was pregnant at 16 years old...how she had a miscarriage after finding out about the baby...the pain of the miscarriage...."
"Emma...Emma!"
Emma returns to the present. "Are you okay love?" Killian was next to her holding her.
"I...I..." She begins to cry and Killian hugs her. "I want to be a better mom to this baby then I could ever have been to the one I lost."
"Emma, you are with me happily married, you are going to be an amazing mommy to this little babe." He touches her abdominal. "The little babe loves you so much and as much as I love you. You are with me, we have been trying for a child."
"Yes. I am married, by my true love who helped me and now expecting our first child...I just feel guilty for not knowing about my first child too late and the miscarriage..." He hugs her until she cried.
"Emma, I know you were in pain, physically and emotionally when you were pregnant the first time. You are with me, we are a team remember. You and I are going to be parents to this little babe together. The wee one is created by our love." He kisses her on the forehead.
"I love you, you know that?"
"Aye, I do. I love you too." He hugs her and gets down on his knees and kisses her abdominal. "Daddy and Mommy love you little love and we both are very excited to meet you."
Emma puts her hands on her abdominal. "Yes, we are both very excited to meet you, baby." Emma goes online to book her appointment with her OB/GYN. "Killian, my appointment to my women's doctor to confirm my pregnancy is on Saturday morning."
"Aye, love we are both off."
"Yes, I cannot wait to see our little baby on the sonogram."
"I too love." They kiss and cuddle in bed. Emma wakes up the next morning before their alarm clock feeling nauseous and runs to the bathroom to puke her guts out. "Yes, I am definitely am pregnant." Killian gives her a cool rag and iced ginger ale when she takes a break from vomiting. Shea leans against the cool tub. "Thank you."
"Anytime, love." He sits next to her and she leans on him. He kisses her on the head while both of them holding her abdominal.
"This morning sickness will be worth it once the baby arrives."
"Yes, Swan. It will be worth it." They slowly got ready for work. Emma dressed in her uniform with her hair in a hair up in a half ponytail. She looked at herself in the mirror. "Pretty soon, I won't fit in this uniform anymore." Killian made sure Emma was alright when they were driving to work. She had barf bags to use in the car and at work. She pukes a lot in the car.
"Killian, I do not know how I am going to get through this morning sickness through work." She leans over.
He rubs her back. "Love, you need to sit up, especially in your condition." She sits back up and moves her chair a little back so she can lie down. "You can get through this Emma."
"Easy for you to say, you are not growing a little human inside of you for the next 7-8 months, body changes...I am going to be so huge."
"Love, I love you no matter what shape and size you are. You are my beautiful wife." He holds her hand in traffic. "I have read online you can eat ginger candy to help with the sickness. I am pretty sure they have it at the airport especially those who are motion sickness."
"Hopefully, I can eat them." She rubs her little abdominal. "Baby, you better let me eat today, or I cannot think straight at work. Mommy has to make money so I can spoil you." Killian smiles.
"Emma, we will both spoil our little love."
"Yes, we both will."
"Are you nervous for your first day at check in?"
"It is different, I have done it before as experience before I fly. I am going to miss flying with you."
"Aye, love. It will make me more excited to see you after I land, every day." Emma smiles.
"Where are you flying today?"
"Too Long Beach, California and back with a 2-hour layover."
"That is not too bad, it is shorter than London."
"Aye, it is love."
"I been thinking now there is a new law of paid maternity relief...like before the baby is born and for when the baby is born I can stay home with the baby for the first few months. I do not want put our child in daycare or worst a nanny."
"Emma, if you want to stop working after the baby is born you can love. I can work so you can spend time with our little love."
"I want to be a better parent than any of the horrible foster parents that I had for my entire life in the foster system. I want to be there for our child, someone for him or her to lean on when it is scared, sad or happy. I just want to give our baby the best life that I can possibly give, the life I always wanted."
"Emma, we will give our child everything and all the love the lass or lad deserves. Do not worry." He rubs her little unnoticeable baby bump. She puts her hand over his.
"We will." When they arrived at work, the snow was much, it was cold for winter. Killian walked with his wife to the airport. "I am going to miss you today."
"Aye, love. I will miss my favorite flight attendant." They kiss. "Have a good day love."
"Thank you. Have a safe flight."
"I will pick you up after I land. Stay safe and be careful."
"I...we will."
He puts his hands on her abdominal. "Little love do not give Mommy hard time, she has to work while you are growing in her little babe." Emma giggles. Emma heads to the locker room to put her jacket and purse in, except for her iPhone and barf bags. She felt a little nauseous and rushes to the bathroom to puke before her shift. After she was done, she washed her face to look not sick as she was feeling, and took a deep breath. "I can do this." Emma went to her new job at check-in. Emma sat in her booth. The line was long. She checked everyone passports, ID, and tickets and they place their luggage on the carousel for their flight. Emma used her barf bags underneath the table in between passengers and drank a lot of water. Emma felt exhausted and it is only the beginning of the day. "Swan."
"Killian."
"I got you something to help you feel better." He hands over a bag to her. She opens it, two packs of ginger candy and one big container of three tarts lollies, pregnant women candy. Emma smiled. "Thank you so much."
"You are welcome, love. You seem like you need it already."
"Yes, I am already feeling drained with puking in barf bags, all I want is sleep."
"Love, these candies will help you feel better."
"Thank you."
"You are welcome, Emma. I will see you when I land back." They kiss. Emma tried the pregnancy lollies and they worked once it was in her mouth the feeling of nausea was gone. Killian was right, it was going to help her get through the day. On her lunch break, Emma ate some chocolate, all she wanted all morning, her first craving. She places her hand on her abdominal. "Baby, you are lucky that I love chocolate." During work, she went to the bathroom a lot. After her day, she waited for Killian and watched their plane land. She rubs her tiny baby bump."I miss working with him but it is safer for me to work here than worrying about your safety when I fly." Killian exits the plane last and sees his wife waiting for him at the gate. He rushes inside. He lifts Emma in his arms and turns around. Emma giggles. "Killian, be careful of the baby." They kiss.
"I am just so happy to be back with you love. I miss working with you."
"Yes, captain. I miss you too. It is not the same as being a flight attendant but it is the best for the baby."
"Aye, swan. Let's go home."
"I love the idea." they walk together. "The pregnancy lollies I ate most of them today, they help a lot. It made me feel better and made my day go so much faster."
"Aye. I had a feeling they will work, anything for my two loves."
"Tomorrow, I have my appointment tomorrow."
"Yes, I am looking forward to it."
"Me too, just stay with me.
Killian looks her in the eyes. "Of course, Emma. I will stay with you and be at your side."
She hugs him. "Good, I feel safe with you."
"I know love. I'm glad I make you feel safe. I will always will you and the baby." They returned home, Killian cooked them dinner, which made Emma sick after she ate. She sleeps afterward, she was exhausted. Killian comes in later on and cuddles her. "Making a baby is hard."
"Yes, judging how you are sick and exhausted it looks hard and tiring."
"Yes very tiring."
"It will be all worth it when the babe comes."
"Yes, I cannot wait to be a Mommy."
"Aye, love you will be great with the babe. I cannot wait to be a Daddy."
"You are great with our friends' children, I cannot wait to see you with the baby." They kiss and Emma falls back to sleep in Killian's arms feeling happy and safe, despite how awful she felt.
