An Unexpected Turn

Chapter 1- Emma Pov

Tears were streaming down my face as I looked at the pregnancy test on the counter two pink lines, Killian and I have always talked about kids but right now didn't feel like the moment. I stood in the bathroom of the Station with my father in the other room, I knew if i walked out of their looking the way I did there would be questions. Killian and I have been married for almost 3 years and I wasn't ready for a baby, I dried my tears and splashed water my face to get rid of the tears stains. I put the pregnancy test in my jacket pocket, so my father wouldn't see it. When I came out he was filling out paperwork, he turned when he saw me coming out. "How'd it go?" I gave him a confused look did he know, "How'd what go?" He stood up and walked in front of me, "The pregnancy test. Did you think I can't tell I watched your mother when she was pregnant with you and Neal. You have the same glow and look of fear in your face that she did." I gave him a smile I can't believe it was that obvious, "Please don't tell anyone yet I wanna tell Killian first so we doesn't hear it from Leroy or mom." He nodded and pulled me into a hug, my mom walked in and saw our father daughter moment. "What is going on here?" She asked setting Neal down on the desk chair, "Emma just had a great idea for a new patrol but I told her it was too dangerous to patrol." She gave look like she knew David was lying, "OK whatever Emma, Neal wanted you, he wouldn't stop screaming until he saw you." I walk over to my brother sitting on the chair, the way his face lit up made my hands slide to my stomach. I quickly realized what I was doing and moved it before anyone else noticed. "Hey little bro, why did you wanna see me today, you'll see me tomorrow for dinner." He pulled me into a hug and I cuddled him close, lately he's been really attached to me. "I just wanted to say hi and see you before we come over tomorrow!" I smiled and pulled him back into a hug, "How about I talk to Uncle Killy and see if we can change dinner for tonight okay does that sound good?" He nodded and ran back to Snow, "I'm gonna call Killian and see if he is okay with moving dinner for tonight because Neal wants to spend time with me. After dinner he can stay if he'd like Henry's room is empty." I could feel the tears coming and then the vomit, I quickly ran to the bathroom. I turned the water on so they wouldn't hear me throw up, I turned it off and slowly wiped the tears. My mom came crashing into me with a hug, "Mom I'm okay it was just the thought of Henry not being here." She shook her head and smiled placing her hands on my stomach. "Shit" I said out loud. "I knew sweetie when you were talking to Neal I saw your hand." I smiled and went to text Killian.

E: Hey Neal really missed me and wants to move dinner for tomorrow for tonight. Is that okay?

K: Yea sure I'll have everything ready when I get home

E: I'm leaving now with my parents so I can do it btw Neal is staying at our house in Henry's room.

K: Ok love see you at home.

E: Yea you too

I knew Killian would be fine with moving dinner but I wanted to make sure he was happy about the baby, we talked about kids but never talked about our own. Neither of us have raised a baby, I was scared and worried I wasn't going to be a good mother. I know my mom didn't have much experience with Neal but she did a damn good job I couldn't even raise Henry I chickened out and gave him up. If I look on the bright side if I didn't give him up I wouldn't have my parents or Killian. Henry was capable of taking care of himself all in had to do was keep him out of trouble a baby would require all my attention, I've never had to do the diaper phase I had the fake memories Regina gave me but they aren't real and frankly I don't remember them. I get in my yellow bug and follow my parents to my house, I unlock the door and Neal goes running into the little play area in the corner. "So Emma how are you telling Killian?" My mom asked as soon as we enter the room, I haven't even convinced myself that I can do this we aren't prepared for a baby in any way. "I don't know can we talk about something else while I start dinner?" I knew my mom was going to figure out that I wasn't ready or was feeling regret about Henry. "Emma I think I know what this is about." My father got the hint and took Neal outside to play so my mother and I could have a heart to heart. "Let me guess here comes your speech about how I'm going to be a great mother and bring up how good I am with Neal. Well mom save yourself the breathe Neal is my brother not my kid that I have to take care of." I turned off the stove and ran up to my bedroom I slammed the door like a teenager, I couldn't stop the tears from falling, I know I was harsh to her but I was pregnant what did he expect. I could her my parents talk from upstairs, "I'm gonna finish making dinner David you go talk to her out Neal in the play pin with his toys." I could hear my dads footsteps getting closer I unlocked the door and sat back down on my bed. "Hey princess how are you doing?" I gave him the look and he got to the point, "Your mom is just trying to help you really hurt her feelings and you need to apologize." He left and I thought about what I said but it was all true I wasn't ready and Neal is my brother not a kid I take care of everyday." I walked down stairs my mom was putting Neal to sleep in the play pin she saw me and walked over to me, she wrapped me in a hug I wanted to say sorry but all I could do was cry.
