Heartbeat – Killian’s POV

When they had discovered that Emma was approximately eight weeks along, Killian took it upon himself to learn everything he could about the development of the embryo inside of her.  Making a nuisance of himself at the library was the first order of business and one by one he worked his way through the many tomes regarding what happens inside a woman’s body when she is with child.  He was fascinated to learn how the changes inside of Emma were affecting her behavior on the outside on a day to day basis.  As she did with any new situation, his Swan rose to the occasion and he couldn’t have been happier when she lowered her walls and allowed herself to lean on him more each week.  

As weeks nine and ten arrived they settled into a new routine for beginning their days and while it wasn’t much, he felt as if he were contributing and sharing her burden.   He made it his job to rise early and help Henry get ready for school and on the days that the babe was causing Swan to feel out of sorts, he arrived with dry toast and ginger ale to help her get the day started.  She always made a point of making it downstairs in time to see Henry off to school, though, and if he was lucky he could get her to eat a healthy morning meal instead of those dry pastries she usually consumed.  She liked to pretend she didn’t like the fuss but watching her eat whatever he put in front of her, and seeing the healthy glow on her face started each day off the right way. 

In the early stages of Emma’s pregnancy, Killian had been pleasantly surprised when the dwarves had suggested they keep an eye on the savior, and because Killian selfishly was worried about her, he agreed.  He knew Emma knew, just as he knew that she thought it had all been his idea, but since she hadn’t complained too loudly, he didn’t feel overly guilty when he received daily reports from the many watchdogs that resided in Storybrooke.  In fact, today he had learned that she had been spotted looking in the window of Mother Goose’s Nursery at a cradle; an activity he hadn’t considered necessary quite yet, considering she had just turned eleven weeks.
