Captain Swan Fly Away

Baby Shower

On Sunday morning, Killian let Emma sleep in more because he knows that she will have a long day of a nail salon with Allison and then a surprise baby shower hosted by Ashley and the rest of the crew at her house. He gave Ashley a list in advance on what else they needed for Hope. Allison arrives at 11:00 am. "Hi, Killian."

"Hi, Allison. How is the little man and Ted?"

"Ever since you spoken to him to man up he really has been helping more with Connor and I get more sleep."

"I am glad. I do not want my nephew to be without a father."

Allison hugs him ."Thank you so much, Killian. I do not feel like a single mom anymore."

"You are welcome."

"Where is Emma?"

"Upstairs." They go upstairs to their room, seeing Emma throwing clothes around the room and crying. "Emma, what are you doing love?"

Emma was angry and upset. "Nothing fits that I want to wear. All the clothes that fit make me feel so ugly and huge. I do not know what to wear." She cries more. Killian leads his wife to their bed as Allison helped out by cleaning the clothes that Emma threw around their bedroom.

"Emma, you are carrying our little Hope. Hope is getting bigger and stronger every day inside of you. You are feeding her and making sure she is safe while she is growing inside of you."

"I care for Hope's health I am her Mommy but I am huge and ugly."

"Emma, you are not ugly. You are my beautiful wife. Do you remember how we met?"

Emma smiled. "Of course, I do. You can remind me. You can tell Hope." They lie against their pillows. Killian wrapped his arm around his wife and rubbed her baby belly. " Once upon a time, when Mommy and Daddy were in flight school, we were in the same beginners class. Your Mommy with her long beautiful blonde hair sat right in front me and asked me for a pen. When I saw her I was in love with her. I gave her my only pen. After class, I tried to talk to her by being myself. Your Mommy just ignored me. I wanted to see her again. I tried to talk every day to her but she was walled up and cared about school. One night, there was this very bad snowstorm that made us stuck in the school for the night. I saw your Mommy in the library with all of her belongings. I went to a coffee shop and bought her cinnamon hot chocolate which is your Mommy's favorite since she brought a cup of it with her in every day in class. I returned to her seeing her reading a book and with her belongings. "You were prepared to be stuck here overnight?" He hands her the hot chocolate. "Thank you. You can sit down." He sits down next to her and she looked at me in the eyes,"No, I am homeless." I took her hand into mine. "Why would a smart, beautiful and caring woman be homeless?" She responded "I was a foster child my whole life, the foster system was horrible and I could not take it anymore and ran away with my personal belongings at sixteen and never returned. I lived on the streets finished high school and went to community college. For some reason, your mommy opened up to me, since she was all walled up and not trusting people."

Allison sat on the bed and listened to how they met.

Emma rubbed her baby belly. "Hope, Mommy can answer that. I know your Daddy had a crush on me. He kept trying to talk to me every single day since the first day of flight school. I was pushing him away because I was attracted to him but I needed to focus on school. I could not afford distractions. Daddy always tried to talk to me and help me whenever I needed assistance on understanding the information in the class we were in together. A few months later, when the snowstorm happened and he gave me the cinnamon hot chocolate, I knew he was the one."

"Aye, love. You knew?"

"Yes, you were the only one cared for me ever or even to noticed me and listened to me. I did not fit in with other girls because I did not have enough clothes, what was in style but you cared for me, listened to me, was there for me. Even when I told you about my past you did not judge or ignored me. You actually listened to me and cared for me which no one ever did until I met you."
