Captain Swan Fly Away

Maternity Photoshoot

Emma was 8 months pregnant, Killian and her both were able to organize all of the gifts that they received at the baby shower. Some of the gifts were in the living room, some were in Hope's nursery and some were in their room like the dockatot, a few pacifiers, and bibs. Emma wanted to enjoy the weather while she still can before Hope arrives. "Killian, can we go to the Jacob Riis beach today?"
"Love, the heat won't be good for you."
"Killian, I can be under an umbrella most of the time. I won't lift anything heavy. I just want some fresh ocean air. Please." She begged her husband and gave her a pouty lip.
"Love, we can go to the beach today."
"Yay!" She hugs him. " I will call Allison and see if they are free to join us." She calls Allison. "Hi, Allison."
"Hi, Emma. How is my goddaughter?"
"She is getting bigger and kicking up a storm in my belly. Are you free to go to the beach with Killian and I today?"
Allison smiled. "Emma, Ted, Connor and I are at the beach now. At Jacob Riis Park."
"No way, really?"
"Yes, we are at the beach. We have an umbrella that you can use, Connor cannot be in the sun too long. Just bring your beach supplies like chairs, towels, and snacks. I will have Ted come and Help Killian."
"Great, we will see you soon."
"Love, what did she say?"
"They are already at the beach and they have an umbrella for me to use."
"Wow. What a coincidence."
"I know, right. Now, I have to find a bikini to wear and cover. To cover this baby belly."
"Love, you are sexy and beautiful."
"Killian, I am not sexy feeling like a whale with this baby belly that is not sexy."
He talks to Hope. "Hope, your Mommy is sexy. She does not feel sexy because you are getting bigger but your Mommy knows that you are healthy little love which is very important for Mommy and Daddy." He kisses Emma's baby bump and Hope kicks.
"Killian, what am I going to do with you?" She hugs him. "You are my kind caring husband and thinks that I am sexy when I am a hormonal mess, very uncomfortable and huge."
"Love, you are beautiful any size you are. I love you."
"You are just saying to make me feel better."
"Emma. You are beautiful, sexy, don't you have fun when we were making Hope?"
"Yes, until I have no control of hormones, body for last 8 months. I am going to get bigger next month." She starts crying.
"Emma, come here." He gives her a hug.
"See, I cannot even give you a proper hug with my baby belly in the way."
"Emma, look at me." She looks directly into his ocean blue eyes. "You are my stunning, beautiful love of my life. You are pregnant yes you are. You are still my kind, caring wife who I love and I cannot start a family with. I love you so much. Hope loves her Mommy."
"I am....I just afraid that you will not like me anymore after I give birth...my body is not to be the same ever again I mean look at me."
"Emma. You are my hot sexy, wife and I love you for who you are. You are perfect to me in any form that is all I care about. Is you."
Hope kicked. Emma smiled "Hope, sweetie. Daddy loves you too."
He talks to Hope. "Hope, I love you too. Daddy is talking about your Mommy." Emma giggles. "You love Mommy no matter what right Hope? Your Mommy is beautiful, right little lass?" Hope kicked twice inside of her Mommy's tummy. "Aye, you agreed with me, Hope. See, Emma even our daughter is going to love you for who you are no matter what size. Do you still want to go to the beach?"
"Yes."
"Of all of the lasses in the world and at the beach, all of my eyes are only on you,my true love." Emma cries more. She gives him a big hug as much as possible.
"I love you so much."
"I love you too, Emma."
Hope kicked. "Hope, Mommy loves you so much, sweetie. You are my baby girl. I am feeling huge and very moody but you are healthy and getting bigger inside of me every day, which makes me very happy." She kisses her palm and placed it on her baby bump where Hope was moving. "I will go get changed. Allison told me Ted will help you carry my beach supplies."
"Aye. I had a feeling he will help."
Emma hugs her husband. "I love you."
"I love you, Emma. Remember you are the most beautiful woman in my eyes." Emma smiles and they kiss. Killian got dressed quickly and packed a cooler for a lot of water, especially for Emma to stay hydrated, and snacks.
Emma got dressed in a teal bikini with a white net cover and flip-flops. She tied up her hair into a ponytail braid. "Hope, Daddy, and Mommy are going to the beach by the ocean. Mommy likes the beach. When you are older you and I are going to swim in the ocean and build sand castles together." Emma packed clothes to change out of after the beach, extra towels, sunglasses and sunscreen. Emma slowly waddled downstairs seeing Killian loading the car. Killian sees his wife and helps her to their car. "Love you are beautiful."
"Thank you, captain." They kiss. He makes sure Emma was in the car safely. Emma rubbed her baby belly and felt Hope moved inside of her. "Hope, when you are born. We are going take you to the beach." Killian got into the driver's seat. "Is everything packed?"
"Aye, yes it is." They drove to Jacob Riis beach which was a 30-minute drive from their house. Emma texted Allison when they were there so Ted can help Killian carry their beach supplies. Killian helped his wife out of their car. "How is the little lass?"
"She is moving a lot. Maybe she likes the beach like her Mommy."
"Aye, maybe she does."
Ted approaches Emma and Killian. "Hi, Emma and Killian. Do you need a hand?"
"Aye, yes I do." He opens the trunk and Killian made sure he was able to walk with his wife and help her since it was a long walk to the beach from where their car was parked. Ted carried Emma's beach chair and her bag. As they were walking.
"Killian, I am sorry that I am walking slow. I hate waddling."
"Emma, you are 8 months pregnant. It is alright love. Remember you are the most beautiful lass in my eyes." He kisses her on the head.
"But, I do not want to be the one who slows you down."
"Emma, I will follow you and help you and Hope always. It is really hot out. Do you need water?"
"Yes, and sit down for a few minutes." He finds her a spot to sit in so she can rest and drink water. "I am sorry for slowing us down."
"Love, it is alright." He kisses her on the head. "Take your time." When she was ready, Ted leads them to their spot, Killian held Emma's hand worrying that she will have a heat stroke. Emma sees Allison at their spot. "Allison!"
"Emma!" Allison hugs Emma and looks at her baby belly. "Emma, your baby belly is getting so big."
"I know, she is starting to run of room in here, I am 36 weeks this week. I am almost 9 months pregnant."
"Emma, come under the shade."
Killian set up Emma's chair for her to sit under the umbrella. "Thank you, Killian."
"Your welcome love." They kiss. He hands her water bottle and cooler beside her chair.
"Where is Connor?"
"He is in the pack and play next to me sound asleep."
"Have you taken him to the water yet?"
"Yes, only for a little bit. He was not that happy."
"Aw, poor little man."
"I know but Connor is happy to be in the shade. How are you doing?"
"Well, very uncomfortable, Hope is moving more around a lot, I just wanted to enjoy my last few weeks outside while I can before Hope comes."
"Emma, I got my photos from my maternity photo shoot." Allison gave Emma her iPhone. They were pictures of Allison with her bare baby belly in different positions, her and Ted holding her baby bump.
"Allison, these are really are nice. When did you get these done?"
"We got them done when I was 8 months pregnant. I got them taken at Perfect Perfect NY. I can give you their number."
"Sure, I was thinking of doing a maternity photoshoot and when Hope arrives."
"The newborn photoshoot. We did that too with Connor. You will like it, they are the ones who are amazing to take photos of newborns while they are sleeping in many positions."
"I definitely want to do both."
"I know you will enjoy both." Connor wakes up from his nap. "Connor, you are awake. Auntie Emma has joined us at the beach." She takes Connor from his pack and play. He was wearing a navy blue bathing suit, with a blue and red waterproof shirt and a blue hat.
"Connor, you have a cute beachwear outfit."
"You want to hold him?"
"Do you really have to as me Allison?" They both laughed and she hands over Connor to his aunt. "Hi, Connor. Are you enjoying the beach today?" Connor gurgles and moves around, which makes Hope move around. "Hope, I am holding your cousin sweetie." She rubs her baby belly. Connor began to fuss. "Connor, what is the matter?"
"Emma, I know what he wants." She gives Connor a chewy giraffe toy. "Connor, Mommy has your toy sweetie." He grabs it and puts it in his mouth.
"He sure loves his giraffe."
"Yes, he does."
"I need to cool off. Allison, do you want to go to the ocean?"
"Yes. Are you alright?"
"I...I need to cool off. I am just really hot." She takes Connor from Emma and hands him over to Ted.
"Love, drink water first." Emma drank more of her water.
"I just want to cool off okay. This heat and hot flashes combination are just torture."
"Emma, let's cool off." She looks at Killian. "I got her." They walk together and enjoyed getting wet they did not go too far out only up to Emma's knees length.
"Allison, Hope is moving around in here a lot. I think Hope likes the ocean."
Emma places Allison's hand on her baby belly."Awe. My little niece likes the ocean."
"Yes, she does." Killian joins them.
"How is the water?"
"It is great. It feels good. " She places her hands on her baby belly. "Hope loves it. She is kicking like she knows we are at the ocean."
Killian talks to his wife's baby bump. "Little love, you like the ocean?" He puts his hands on his wife's baby belly. "She loves it."
"Yes, I know. She will love the beach just like her Mommy and her Daddy."
"Aye, she takes after the both of us already." They kiss.
"Yes, she does captain. You can swim. I cannot go too far."
"No, I am staying with you."
A young boy with a boogie board was heading straight at Emma. Allison screams, "Emma watch out!" Killian held onto Emma and moved her toward the side. Killian got angry. "Bloody hell, watch where you are going. You almost knocked into my pregnant wife. You could have injured my wife and child." The child ran away to another side of the ocean far away from Emma and Killian.
"Killian, thank you for being here."
"Your welcome, love. I told you that I will be here you and our little love." They kiss and he rubs her baby belly.
"Hope, your Daddy is very overprotective of you and me." She rubes her baby belly. She talks to Killian. "This is what I needed fresh air and cooling off in the ocean."
Allison comes over to them, "Emma, are you alright?"
"Yes, I am. Thank you for screaming at the right time, Allison. Killian got me out of the kid's way just in time and then yelled at the poor kid."
"Love, that kid should have look at where he was going. You could have been injured you and Hope or you could have gone into labor. I care about you and Hope's safety not that kid who was not looking where he was going."
"Killian, I know. I know. Hope and I are safe which is most important." She hugs her husband. "Okay? Hope and I are safe all because of you and with Allison's warning."
"Emma, did you tell him about the maternity photo shoot?"
"Not yet."
"What is a maternity photo shoot?"
"It is where parents to take photos together before the baby comes. There are also newborn photoshoots too. I want to do both before Hope comes and after Hope comes."
"Love, I like the idea. Allison where did you take yours?"
"I took the maternity photos in the city. They also have locations in Queens too. I can help look it up and give you the information."
"Allison, do they take them on a location? Somewhere like a beach?"
"Killian, do you have any ideas?"
"Aye, we can do them on the beach close to sunset and during the sunset."
"Killian, I love that idea. I do still have the maternity dresses that was supposed to be for the babymoon but now I get to use them. We can match."
"Emma, I have an idea. I have a camera at home. Ted is a great photographer. We can do the photos around sunset."
"Killian, what do you think?"
Killian smiled at his wife. "I love it." They kiss. Emma holds her back feeling lower back pain. "Love, are you alright?"
"I need to sit down, my lower back hurts."
"Love let's get you back into the shade." He and Allison take Emma back to their spot. Killian makes sure Emma sits down back in her chair and gave her water. "Are you alright love?"
"My back hurts a little bit. Can you massage it?"
"Sure, I can." He gives her a back massage.
"Thank you."
Allison and Killian sit nearby Emma. "Your welcome love. Are you feeling better?"
"Yes, I am. I do not know it is just the heat."
"Emma, are you cramping or nauseous?"
"No, only my lower back hurts..." Emma started crying.
"Emma." Allison hugs Emma.
"The last time my back hurt, I ended up in the hospital. I do not want to go into early labor."
"Emma, you need to relax. You are going to be okay, honey. Hope is going not going to be born now."
"Love, you are going to be alright. You got to stay calm. The stress is not going to to be good for the baby." He hugs her until she calms down from crying.
"I am sorry. I am just nervous. I do not want to go into early labor."
Allison holds Emma's hand. "Emma, it is alright. We are here for you. I know you are nervous. Hope is not coming now. I know she is coming next month."
"I want Hope to be healthy and be born safely."
"Emma, Hope is healthy. She still is growing safely inside of you love." He kisses her on the head.
"Emma, Hope is getting bigger inside of you every time I see you. I know you are going to be a great mother when she arrives."
"Every time when something is wrong, I feel like I am going to have a flashback..." Emma cried harder.
Killian hugs her and massaged her shoulders. "Love, you are having a healthy pregnancy. You are not having a miscarriage. You are almost nine months pregnant with our daughter who is getting bigger every single day. She loves you and we love you. Hope cannot wait to meet you in August."
Emma hugs her baby belly. "I want Hope to be healthy and safe."
"Emma, she is going to be born healthy and safe. Killian and I are going to be with you in your entire labor. You have us."
"Allison, you do not know about my miscarriage...I was alone. I had no idea about that baby until I had my miscarriage." Allison hugs her.
"Emma, you were only a teenager. You did not know."
"It was awful how I found out in that abandoned bathroom...just awful. I was young, terrified and I had no one to tell...I was alone. This is why I am so overprotective about Hope's safety. I just want her to be here healthy, strong and safe."
"Emma, you have us. You are not alone this time. Hope is going to be very big and healthy, I know it because Hope is getting very inside of you." They both hugged her.
"Allison....I had that miscarriage when I was barely 2 months pregnant." Allison hugs her.
"Emma, you are not a teenager anymore. You have Killian and me to help you. You have Hope in here (touching her baby bump) who is safe, moving around all the time, getting stronger every day and loves you very much."
"Allison is right Emma. Hope loves you so much. She is going to be born healthy. I know it, love. We are both going to be there for you. Hope is going to be very loved by all of us."
"I am sorry. I am a hormonal mess."
"Emma, it is alright to be worried, to express your feelings to us. I was very nervous when I had Connor. Right, Ted?"
"Yes, Allison was. Even though she has many experiences in the medical field, being a new mother was all new to her." He hands over their sleeping son to her. She kisses Connor on the head.
"Yes, once Connor was born all of the nerves about being a new mother went away. Just love. Emma, I know you are going to be great with Hope because you are a great auntie to Connor."
Emma smiles. "I cannot help it, Connor is so cute and sweet. He is such a good baby."
"You want to hold him?"
"Yes!" Allison hands over her son to her. "Hi, Connor." She kisses her nephew on the head. He wakes up fusses. "Connor."
"Emma, he is hungry. You want to feed his bottle?"
Emma smiled. "Sure, I can." Allison handed her a baby bottle of her breastmilk and she feeds Connor.
"Love, you are doing amazing with Connor."
"He is a good baby." She talks to Allison. "Does breastfeeding hurt or pumping milk?"
"It is less painful to pump than breastfeeding. I rather do both breastmilk is better for the baby than formula. Formula milk can cause constipation for the baby.
"Allison, when can we do maternity photos?"
"Ted, I was wondering since you are a good photographer can you do their maternity photo shoot like at sunset at the beach?"
"I would love to. When do you want to have your maternity photo shoot?"
Killian and Emma looked at each other. "Are you free Saturday or Sunday? We are free."
"We can do Saturday." Emma burps Connor and he falls asleep in her arms. "Killian, you want to hold Connor?"
"Aye, I would love to hold our little nephew." He takes Connor form Emma's arms. "He is still asleep."
"Killian, you have to very careful sometimes he just wakes up."
"Oh, really? So far when I hold him he stays asleep."
"Killian, I think you are baby whisperer?"
"Nah, Allison. I think Emma has a touch of that."
Emma giggles. "Let's see if that touch works when Hope comes." Hope kicked inside of Emma. "Hope, you are coming very soon sweetie, in a few weeks. We all are looking forward to meeting you baby girl." Hope moved around very noticeable. "Killian, Allison look. Hope is making her presence."
Connor was awake. "Little lad, that is your baby cousin moving around inside of your auntie Emma."
"See, Emma. Hope is showing you that she is happy, healthy and growing inside of you."
"Oh, my little girl loves showing her presence. Was Connor like that?"
'No, not really. I know my little god niece will be getting attention very soon."They both laughed. After a few hours at the beach, they went home. Allison held Connor and some of her beach supplies. Killian and Ted carried most of the beach supplies. Allison and Emma walked together.
"Sorry, Allison that I am waddling so slow."
"Emma, you are almost at the end of your pregnancy. Trust me, I know how you are feeling now when I was 9 months pregnant with this little guy." She kisses her son on the head who she was holding, he as sound asleep. The boys went to get their cars and the girls waited at the entrance. "Allison, I did not expect to meet someone who can be my sister when I was on bedrest."
"Yes, I did not expect to meet you right after I gave birth."
"I have my appointment with Dr.Smith tomorrow. I have a feeling I will be put on bed rest next week."
"Emma, we are going to do your maternity photos this weekend. I know Connor and I will visit you at home when you are on bedrest."
"I know you both will. I enjoyed today just my hormones are driving everyone around me crazy."
"Emma, you are almost there. Your hormones won't be as bad as they are now when Hope comes. Remember you are not alone." They hug.
"I really am glad that I met you."
"Me too. I finally have a sister."
"Do you think we are related?"
"Maybe we are? We can take a blood test."
"You think we can actually be sisters?"
"Maybe. Long lost sisters."
"Are you adopted?"
"I always felt like I was different than my family. Maybe? I have to do some research. Emma, even if we are not related we are going to be sisters no matter what."
"Yes, we will always have each other back and be there for one another."
"Yes." They hugged. Killian honked his horn. Killian gets out of the car and opened the door for his wife.
"Allison, I will see you soon?"
"Yes, this weekend!"
They hugged. Emma kissed Connor on the head. "Bye, sweet nephew." Emma walks to her car. Ted pulled up right behind them, Allison and Connor went to their car and went their separate ways. "Killian, did you enjoy the beach? I know you were worried about Hope and I the entire time. I was very hormonal too."
"Emma, I had un at the beach. We love you and we were not annoyed. You need to express yourself. We know that you are concerned about Hope's safety."
"Yes, I do not want anything bad to happen to her..." She hugs her baby belly.
"Swan, she has you as her mother who is a very strong, fighter and a survivor who can survive anything. I know Hope is going to be a lot like you."
"You think so?"
"I know so love." They kissed.
"I have my appointment tomorrow."
"I know love. At 10:30 am right?"
"Yes." They drove home. Killian helped Emma get up to their room safely and then he unloaded the car. He made them dinner and enjoyed cuddling and watching Netflix in their bedroom.
The next day, Emma was dressed in a long tee-shirt dress with flip flops, ready for her appointment. Emma looked at her baby belly. "Hope, you are almost running outside of me sweetie. Mommy and Daddy are excited to arrive soon, in a few short weeks." She felt Hope inside of her, she loved feeling Hope moving around every day knowing her daughter is healthy and safe inside of her. "Emma, are you ready to leave, love?"
"Yes, I am." She hugs him. "I love you so much."
"I love you too, Emma. Let's go see how our little lass is growing."
"Yes. We can find out the signs of labor." Killian drove them to their appointment. Emma was reading a parenting magazine and Killian was reading a children's magazine.
"Swan, I cannot find the fourth bunny in this search magazine."
A little girl came up to Killian, "Here is the fourth bunny." Emma laughed.
"How?" "Emma Swan- Jones." Emma took the magazine from her husband and gave it to the little girl.
"Killian, come on."
"Coming love." They walked together to the examination room. Emma did not have to get undress only her underwear since she was wearing a dress. "Killian. Help me get up to the table?"
"Aye, love." He helps her get lifted up.
"thank you. I am getting so heavy I cannot lift up myself anymore."
"Love, I will always help you." They kiss.
Dr. Smith enters the room.
"Hi, Emma and Killian. How are you feeling Emma?"
"Very huge, swollen and very hormonal."
"Emma, you are almost to the finish line. Do you have any questions for me?"
"What is the signs of labor when to go to the hospital?"
"When your water has broken or you have blood coming out."
"Will I go into labor before my due date?"
"As long as you go into later during or after 37 weeks, your baby girls lungs will work and she will be strong enough for the outside world. She may come before or after her due date, not all babies come on their due date. "You are nine months pregnant Emma. Your daughter will be born very healthy."
"How about the stitch? I have been having a lot of Braxton hicks contractions and my stitch is starting to hurt."
"Emma, I am going to examine you and see if I can get the stitch out?"
"You can?"
"Yes, I can." Dr. Smith did Emma's examination while Killian held Emma's hand. "Emma, I can take your stitch out today."
"Will this make me go into labor earlier?"
"Emma, your baby girl is healthy. This stitch prevented her to born earlier during your second trimester. She is going to be born healthy at nine months fully formed and ready for you both." Killian held Emma's hand as Dr.Smith took off her stitch. "Ouch."
"Love, it is almost over." He kisses her head.
"Emma, your stitch is out. Is there any other questions for me?"
"No, I am good for now."
"Good. If you have any questions please call me. Rest up. Your daughter will be here very soon. I will see you next week." She leaves the room.
"How are you feeling love?"
"I am a little sore. Can we home after this? I just want to relax."
"Sure, love." They kiss. Killian helped Emma get dressed and they made her next appointment for next week. Their week went fast, Emma was able to get more rest at home. Killian worked on the baby's carriage, car seat, baby swing, bouncy chair, and making sure Emma was resting and attended Emma's every need. Saturday came quick, they planned to meet with Allison and Ted when the lifeguards leave and the beach is empty. Emma wore a flowing long white dress that can split down the middle to reveal her baby belly and she had hair down. Killian wore a white long sleeve and jeans. Are you ready to go?"
"I am just about ready. What do you think?" She stood up and showed him her outfit."
"Love, you are beautiful." They kiss. He talks to her baby bump."Hope, your Mommy is so beautiful." He kisses her baby bump and felt Hope moved around.
Emma giggles. "We will be kissing and be holding my baby belly when we get to the beach."
"Aye, I am already starting." Emma laughed and hugged her loving husband.
"I love you and I cannot wait to start a family with you."
"Aye, I am so excited to be a Daddy to this little love and being a great Daddy with on my side being her amazing Mommy. I love you, Emma." They kiss and hug.
"My big baby belly is in the way."
"Love you are beautiful any size you are. Especially you carrying our little Hope."
"I love you and Hope so much."
"I love you and Hope so much too Emma." They walk to their car, Killian made sure Emma was alright. Hr is still nervous about her stitch getting removed and worrying she will go into labor any second. Just in case he had her hospital bag packed in the car for whenever hope decides to come. Killian drove them to the beach it was empty by the time they arrived there. They see Allison, Ted, and Connor by the shore, ted was setting up his camera and Allison had Connor in a carrier. "Hi, Allison!'
"Hi, Emma. You look beautiful."
"Thank you." They hugged.
"How are you feeling after having the stitch removed?"
"It was painful for a while after it was taken out but whenever I have Braxton hicks contractions now it is not as painful as having in me. How is Connor?"
"He is fed and asleep."
"Does the carrier help?"
"Yes, you have no idea how I can do around the house, or work with him in here. He always wants to be held."
"I cannot wait to hold Hope."
"Emma, you will very soon. My god niece is going to love her Mommy whenever she arrives."
"Yes, since I got the stitch out Killian has been more overprotective than usual worrying I will go into labor any minute."
"He cares."
"I know. He loves me and our baby Hope."
"Love, are you ready to get started?"
"Yes, I am," Allison told them poses to do, like Emma bare belly out, Killian and her both holding her baby belly looking at each other and at the camera, Killian kneels on the sand and kisses her baby belly. Killian had his head by her baby belly and Emma had her hands around the baby belly. Emma had single photos taken holding her baby belly, rubbing her baby belly by the shore. She sits down on the sat holding her hands on her bare baby belly. They had photos taken of them sitting down together holding Emma's baby belly. They had photos of them kissing and holding her baby bump, and holding hands standing up and while the sun was setting. They took photos in the water getting wet, holding Emma's baby bump and Emma had a single photo shoot in the ocean and by the shore. After the two-hour photo shoot, they were finished. Ted showed them the photos that he took before putting it away. "Ted, Allison was right. You are a really good photographer. You should run a photography business."
Ted chuckled."Thank you, Emma. Photography is my hobby."
"Thank you for taking our maternity photos."
"You are welcome, Emma. You are my wife's best friend almost sister. You and Killian are family. We help each other." Connor began to cry. "Allison, I can hold him/." He takes his son from the carrier. "Connor, we are with Auntie Emma."
"Hi, Connor. Your Daddy took good pictures of me and uncle Killian." She rubs her nephew's cheek to make him smile. She talks to Allison. 'Allison, you both been so helpful to us. If you are Ted are up for it, we can have dinner in our place? You want to join us for dinner?"
"Ted, do you want to go to their house for dinner?"
"Sure, Allison, knowing Killian cooked." Allison and Emma both laughed. They got into their separate cars and went to Swan-Jones house for dinner. As Killian was getting dinner ready, Ted helped him in the kitchen as Emma got changed out of her maternity photo shoot outfit. Emma changed into an olive green long tee-shirt dress. Allison holding Connor and she talked in Emma's bedroom.
"Emma, how are you feeling for almost there?"
"I am excited to meet Hope, but I am nervous for childbirth. I mean the last time..it was a miscarriage. I know it is going to be extremely painful."
"Emma the word extreme does not even define the pain you will be in, trust me. I remember it but it was all worth at the end." She kisses Connor on the head and Emma smiled at Allison kissing her son looking forward to snuggling and kissing Hope like that in the very near future.
"Did you always wanted children?"
"Yes. How about you?"
"Yes, I always wanted children in order to have a family."
Allison holds Emma's hand. "Emma, Killian, Connor, Ted and I we are your family. Hope (she puts her hand on Emma's baby belly) will be your family very very soon. Emma, when you are in labor call me."
"Oh, I will. I know you and Killian are going to very helpful."
"Yes, you have us. We are your support team remember?"
"Yes, I have my husband and sister who is experience in the medical field. How are you an immunologist and experienced in other types of medical departments?"
"I worked on a diagnostic team for a famous crazy genius doctor named Dr.Gregory House for 3 and half years. We had these many crazy cases and most bizarre ones. The last one I was on changed my marriage with my second husband Robert Chase. I moved away from Princeton Plainsboro Hospital. I only returned for House, he had nicknames, his funeral around the time I found I was pregnant actually."
"You had a first husband?"
"Yes. I was twenty one and fell in love. He was very sick when we first met from a terminal illness and he died after a months after we got married. He was alone and needed family when he was dying. I also kept his semen." Emma's eyes popped open. "After he died, I moved."
"You moved around a lot?"
"Yes, I did. How about you?"
"Plenty of times, especially growing in the system."
"Emma.."
"Allison, it is okay. All important is that I have a home now with Killian becoming a Mommy very soon." She felt Hope kicked and she rubbed her baby bump. "Even though I am 9 months pregnant, I am looking forward to meeting my baby girl."
"I know she is looking forward meeting you too. When Connor was born, I had an epidural. When he came out, I held him and it was the best feeling Emma, you will automatically feel it once Hope is finally here."
Killian comes upstairs and knocks on the door. "Emma and Allison, dinner is ready."
"Great." He helps Emma off from their bed.
"Allison, can I hold Connor?"
"Of course you can." She talks to her son. "Connor have fun with Uncle Killian." She hands him over to Killian.
"Hi, little lad. Did you hear the lasses talk?" Connor coos.
"Killian, I think Connor understands lad and lasses by now."
"Aye, he does." Emma and Allison both laughed. Killian made roast beef, mash potatoes and garlic Brussels sprouts for dinner. Killian held Connor for a while watching his wife and Allison talk. Ted held Connor next. Killian sat next to his wife.
Emma felt her baby bump belly jump. "Allison? I do not think this is a contraction." Allison gets up and looks at Emma's baby belly. "Emma, Hope is hiccuping inside of you."
"No way. Killian look."
"Aye, little Hope hiccuping." He touched her baby belly and felt Hope hiccuped and his eyes popped open. "Whoa...that was one big hiccup." Emma, Ted, and Allison were laughing at Killian's reaction after feeling Hope hiccupping inside of Emma.
"Allison, feel." Emma placed Allison's hand onto her baby bump where her daughter was hiccupping from the inside of her. "Wow, my goddaughter can move a lot while she hiccups."
"My same thought exactly. I had no idea that our little lass hiccups in the womb." Emma and Allison both laughed. As they continued the night, they talked,  eat and have fun, knowing that they are a family and enjoying time together and waiting for Hope to come to complete their family very soon.
