devilishmuses:

“Ah well yes.” Liam chuckled. “An important new little boy in our family. There was a lot of pink and princess style.” He gently kissed the boys head. “Not that I would be mad if you liked pink, buddy.” He wouldn’t be. “I love you no matter what. And you.” he kissed Hopes head, too. Then Andreas. “And you of course.”

It was too adorable. Andrea could see how proud Liam was to have a son, how happy he was because of that and because he was safe and sound. “We love you too.” Andrea whispered, leaning against him with a smile, holding Hope close. “This family is really growing rapidly. And to be honest, I love every bit of it.”

[seaveiined]

devilishmuses:

“I don’t think he’s going to wait for that.” Liam chuckled, looking down at his new son. “He doesn’t know there is a tomorrow, so he’s taking in all he can.” But the kid would learn there would be many tomorrows in this wonderful little loud family. He leaned over to kiss him. “I’m glad you’re a boy, kiddo. So many girls in our household, it was time for another boy to help us men stand up to the ladies. But don’t get me wrong. The girls are the bosses, still.”

“You make it sound as if it’s a bad thing!” Andrea protested with a chuckle. Perhaps it was sometimes, it wasn’t easy to live in a house full with girls, especially when two were pregnant. But she was quite certain that both Liam and Killian managed them more than well. “We can’t be blamed that we’re outnumbering you. But at least you have this precious baby boy as backup now.”

[seaveiined]

devilishmuses:

“Emma is… great at putting up walls, you know that. She didn’t want for us to worry. But I caught her sitting down often, pale as a sheet, out of breath from just going up the stairs, shaking like a leaf. She doesn’t remember most of her pregnancy with hope, but…there were those rare times when I thought she might pass out of me. The dogs alerted me to it sometimes.” And he just helped her and otherwise believed her, because Emma was sure it was nothing. “She said it was nothing, but.. I don’t think it was. Regardless. Hope is here and safe. And so is our baby boy… and look at him, quiet, happy. Seems like he’s already trying to figure out the world.”

She had no idea. Andrea blinked a few times, the small smile on her face slowly turning into a frown. “She never said anything. I noticed on a few occasions that she was pale but she always blamed morning sickness on it. And since I was pregnant at the same time and went through it too, I trusted her. Gods... I could have helped her, I could have been there for her.” She felt really bad now. She should have noticed that something was wrong. But at least Liam did, he was always very observant. “You’re right. They’re both safe now, so it our son.” Andrea nodded. “He has all the time in the world to figure out the world. he’s not even a full day old.”

[seaveiined]

devilishmuses:

“I have to admit, that I still think that if Emma had carried Hope to term, we might have lost one of them - or both.” With the way it looked, he was way too certain of it. It worried him to this day. He knew his brother and his wife still wanted kids. Hell he still wanted to add to their family, but he wanted to be sure it was safe first. He wouldn’t risk any of the girls lives ever again. “You are right. We were right worry warts there. And then four girls bursting with energy around us. The girls sure as hell inherited yours and Emmas spirits. Never a dull moment with any of you.” He looked down at the baby. “Maybe you are a bit more like me. A bit more on the quiet side? Are you?”

“What makes you think that? Emma was doing fine when she was pregnant with Hope. Why do you think we might have lost one or both of them by the end of the pregnancy?” She of course understood that he worried, hell she was worried too. “They’re both fine, Liam. More than fine. They’re healthy as well.” And that was how it was supposed to be. Their family being fine and growing. A smile appeared on her face as the baby boy opened his eyes as much as he could, a small yawn escaping him when Liam started to talk to him. “Maybe he is. He sure doesn’t cry as much as Hope did, that’s for sure.”

[seaveiined]

devilishmuses:

Considering how hard his brothers wifes third pregnancy was - they seemed to get increasingly harder and more dangerous - he actually had the feeling that Emma being beaten up and having to have Hope early might have saved them both. He just never voiced his suspicion. He actually felt like he was watching Emma deteriorate with every passing day. 

“Don’t remind me of that, please. I was terrified. For both of them.” And it still hadn’t settled with him on how close they cam to loosing them both. “Aye, we should. How come we never managed to agree on a name for a little boy?”

“We all were, Liam.” Especially Killian, who lost his mind over Emma’s condition, especially when she went through a blackout on what happened the previous past few months before the accident with the villain. It left both Liam and Andrea in panic as well for their little daughter, whom Whale only gave slight chances of surviving. But she pulled through wonderfully and was now a happy and lively blabbing baby.

“I don’t know.” Andrea shook her head lightly. “I suppose we never thought of the possibility of having another child after Emma offered to carry Hope for us.And my pregnancy was unexpected and surprising to say the least, and we worried more about me carrying the baby to term than possible baby names.”

[seaveiined]

devilishmuses:

“Well you kept saying that, Andrea. And yet you’re still surprised. This family is truly blessed with True Love.” And their babies especially. Hope was the product of True Love in so many ways. Once of their romantic True Love and then of the plantonic True Love shared between them and Emma. She was a special girl. He gently picked up the baby boy and carried him over to the bed so they could all sit together. “He is so tiny. I almost forgot that Hope was once this tiny too.”

“Of course I am surprised! I did keep on saying that True Love will eventually help, but I had my doubts as well. Especially because of what a rocky start we had.” It was in the past now, but still, it was a rough time for them. She watched father and son together, a small smile on her face as Liam approached the bed and sat down next to her. “Hope was even smaller I think. She was born way before she should have been.” Andrea sat hope in her lap, so the baby girl could see her brother. “We need to figure out a name for him.”

[seaveiined]

devilishmuses:

“Can you blame her?” Liam asked gently. He put their older baby on the bed and walked over to kiss his newborn son. “Auntie Emma and Uncle Killian are fun, but they’re just not Mommy and Daddy. Besides the girls are loud!” With three girls of their own, Killian and Emma had their hands full themselves. But they took caring for their niece in stride. And Emma and Hope would always share this special bond for an aunt and a niece. Their nieces were in full on toddler mode and they were overly excited, driving their parents nuts at the moment. He was glad his two kids were still peaceful babies.

“I can’t believe we have two healthy, precious babies.” 

“Not at all.” Andrea replied with a smile, cradling Hope while the baby happily gurgled. “I hope she was good while staying with Emma and Killian. They do have three toddles on their own.” And she knew for a fact that the three girls weren’t easy to handle at times, which is why Andrea would help out as much as she could when Emma was home alone with the girls. But now things would change a bit, Liam and her had two babies of their own now, and they would need a lot of care. Who knew, maybe Emma and her would take care of the kids together.

“You and me both, Liam. And I still can’t believe that our True Love work and made it possible for me to get pregnant after all. We we blessed so much.”

Hope had been with Killian and Emma while Liam and Andrea and Hopes new baby brother were in hospital. The first night they let her stay at her aunts and uncles, too, so the baby and new other could settle in. But once the morning came, Liam just couldn’t wait anymore. He rushed over to pick up his precious little daughter. She couldn’t even speak yet, she was only a few months older than her brother after all, but hell, he couldn’t wait to see her meet him.

Carrying her, she grinned when she saw her mom and reached out for her. “Look who missed us.”

It had been a heard birth, especially since Andrea feared that something would go wrong. Thankfully, both her and the little baby boy were more than fine, both tired. They would have to be in the hospital for a few days, which meant that Hope would stay at Emma and Killian’s for a while. Or so she at least thought. The little baby boy was still slumbering in his little crib next to her bed as Liam came in, Hope in his arms and already reaching out for her.

She outstretched her arms, taking the little girl from her husband and snuggling her close. “She missed us a lot.” Andrea smiled. 

[seaveiined]

devilishmuses:

“It was a combination, actually. Hard work and luck. Without luck even hard work can’t save someone. We’ve seen it. There was a poor sod on the ship who had been a slave his life long. Never got off it. He died on the ship. They just dumped him in the sea. So luck did play a part, too. Without luck, we would have never had the opportunity.”

“Is it too bold to say that I’m very glad you were lucky and got away?” perhaps it was, but she really was glad. The captain was a true gentleman, very pleasurable company and she liked talking to him. 

[seaveiined]

devilishmuses:

“There is no way, Andrea.” It was the sad truth. “While he rules, there is no way.” So they had to undo the monster in order to survive. But how was that even possible? He had worked for so long to try to undo him, but he had him by the balls, figuratively. “We have to get some power over Hades. Something that we might use against him, so he will have to let us go.”

Was he serious? That complicated things way too much. And if they didn’t have leverage against Hades, they weren’t getting out of the Underworld either. “Power over a god? There’s no way we have anything like that. At least not that I know of. And if anything, he knows by now what’s going on, so he could do everything to make our stay and leave as difficult as possible.”

Emma smiled. Her sister-in-law as immediately entranced by the tiny, still wrinkled newborn. She was so adorable, and still so pink and breakable. Emma still wanted to just take these socks off and hold her little foot, even though she didn’t like feet usually. But her babies feet were different. She guessed that had to do with Emma being full of hormones. “Thank you.” She said, the gifts forgotten on the table within moments as both women only had eyes for the little girl between them. 

“I am. But she was worth it. Killian has it easy. He didn’t have to give birth of her. I forgot how much it hurts, even after birth.” So she was still in pain, but that was natural. Suddenly the cutest squeak, like from a little mouse was heard. Sophies little body was quaking. Emma grinned. “Look who’s got hiccups!”

“Men always have it easy. They’re just there for support, they’re not the ones who have to endure the pain women go though while giving birth. But I’m sure you saw him, saw how proud he was. He was bursting with pride when he came to our house to tell us the big news.” She couldn’t blame him one bit. Hell, even Liam was super proud of his brother, and happy to have finally become an uncle. And with the guys out celebrating, the two girls and the baby girl had time for themselves.

“Oh you sweet little thing!” That was the cutest sound Andrea had ever heard. “I swear this is the cutest thing ever.” But the bigger question was, how do you stop baby hiccups? Andrea looked at Emma again. “Does she have to drink something for hiccups or do they go away on their own?”

[seaveiined]

devilishmuses:

“Me neither. But it’s in the past. With a man like him, I believe Killian and I were better off the way we were growing up like we did, with just having each other.” He smiled softly. “It made us stronger, and our bond.”

“But you also must have worked hard as well to get out of the servitude you were in and joining the royal navy.” She commented. And getting into the royal navy wasn’t easy, neither was ranking up as high to become captain. He must be courageous and honourable if the king trusted him with such a position.

Emma sat on the couch, the baby laying on it, tiny feet kicking at something only Sophie seemed to see. Emma stared at her, trying to figure out if that meant that she was happy or in distress. She honestly did not know. Which was why she watched the newborn carefully. As long as she didn’t make a distressed sound, she figured it would be okay. It was then that Emma heard the knock. She blushed, because honestly she looked like a mess. A bun she didn’t care for, yoga pants - because all the others still hurt like a bitch - loose shirt, dirty from a certain baby having puked on it.

“Hey, come in!” Andrea could see her like that. She had seen her in basically every state of undress - except fully naked. So she didn’t mind her seeing her like a mess like this. And she was excited for her sister-in-law to finally meet her niece. Killian, Sophie and her and been in hospital only for a short while so nobody could even visit them. “Come to meet your niece? She’s awake right now.”

Andrea smiled sheepishly, then stepped into the living room. “Very much so.” She replied. “I was hoping she would be, because I got her a little something. And a little something for you as well.” She motioned towards the bouquet and the teddy bear she held in her hands. Putting the bear aside and the flowers on the table, Andrea took a seat on the only free spot on the couch, right next to the little baby who seemed to have entertained herself with kicking the air. “She’s so precious.” The brunette whispered, having eyes only for Sophie. “And so small. I never thought babies would be this small.”

She then looked at Emma. “How are you feeling? Killian told us that the birth went more or less smoothly.” And that was a good thing. “You must be so exhausted. Sophie too. Can I get you something? Make you soup or get you something to drink?”

[seaveiined]

devilishmuses:

“Of course he can get to me. Even if I am alive. He can get to you. HIs powers aren’t limited to manipulating the dead. He’s quite capable of murdering the living, Andrea.” And of trapping them in this world. “He’s a god. Not just some powerhungry villain. He is a god.” And gods could do major damage. To any soul. “We need a plan. He will know if we come back to life. And have no doubt, he will try to kill us.”

She didn’t like the sound of that at all. It all seemed easy in theory -  get Killian, get Liam, get back home and have the happy ever after the two couples deserved. But this... This complicated things greatly. “You out of all people would know best.” She said. “You’ve been here for centuries, you probably know how things work here and what he’s capable of doing. Do you already have a plan in mind?”

[seaveiined]

devilishmuses:

“It’s okay.” But it was not easy to talk about it. It sadly was not a nice thing after all. “Our mother died. Killian was not even four years old. I still remember him bringing him her necklace and then she fell ill all of a sudden. A healer came. Strange guy. Mother never woke up that night. It was fast and painful, luckily Killian didn’t understand that. Our father… sold us into servitude. For a dinghey.”

Sold into servitude for a dinghey. Andrea shivered at that, not even being able to comprehend how a part could do that to his own children. They went through hell, if not worse, and they were only kids. “That’s horrible.” She whispered. “I’m so sorry you had to go through that. I can’t even imagine how a parent could do that.”

[seaveiined]

Liam and David managed to get Killian out of the house for once for the mandatory drinks and cigars to celebrate the birth of little Sophie the moment Emma and the little baby got home from the hospital. And with the men out of the house and with Emma and little Sophie staying inside, Andrea knew what she would do. First she went to the florist’s, buying a huge bouquet of flowers and then headed to the toy store to get a big teddy bear before making her way to Emma and Killian’s house. She timidly knocked on the door, then entered the house, finding Emma and Sophie down in the living room. She knocked on the doorframe, a big smile on her face. 

“Hey.” She whispered, not knowing if the baby was asleep or not.

The moment Emma shared the news with her that she was carrying a baby girl, Andrea knew that she had to throw a proper baby shower for her sister-in-law. It would be all secret, Emma wasn’t supposed to find out about it until she would come home from the small shopping tour the two of them agreed to do in a couple of days. The brunette made sure that everything would be set - Mary Margaret and Henry helped decorating the house, Granny took care of food and drinks, and Andrea sent out invitations. Everything was planned out and so far it went smoothly.

She was returning home with Emma, casually chatting with her as they approached the house. Andrea unlocked the door for the blonde and let her inside, and the moment Emma stepped into the house, the present guests shouted a cheerful “Surprise!”. Mary Margaret was there, so were Granny and Ruby, Belle, Ashley with little Alexandra, even Regina showed up. “Welcome to your baby shower, sis.” Andrea said with a grin.
