It was the Princess birthday in the kingdom of the Enchanted Forest and everything was ready for the feast. It's been 4 days since the birth of their baby girl and the royal couple couldn't be happier. This healthy little one was the sweetest baby the realms had seen. With her baby sounds and her little blue eyes this infant had transformed this family.

The guests were starting to arrive when the Princess was in her room preparing her little one. Emma dressed up with her gorgeous pink dress, decorated with little pink flowers on its bulging skirt and her blonde hair curled down on her shoulders except some tuffs that were forming a braid on the top of her head. She was truly a princess in that gown and the shining hairband was symbolizing her royal identity. She had settled down her newborn on their king-sized bed in order to dress her up with a baby dress and bonnet with color similar to her mummy. When her job was finished, she took her baby in her arms and walked back and forth in their chamber to calm her baby down. Emma smiled brightly at the her, and in return the baby spontaneously hugged her, putting her little hands around Emma's neck. For a moment, Emma teared a bit.

"I love you too, my duckling" She said and kissed her little head. Suddenly, she heard the door opening…

"Duckling, eh?" It was her Prince. Because no matter what he said, he was a Prince, husband to a princess, and a newly father to their little one , he all dressed up formally with his Prince Charles's costume. God, how much it suited him.

"You call me Swan, right? And the off springs of a Swan are ducklings so…" Emma said but Killian interrupted her as he was leaning towards his loved ones.

"I think it's perfect" He said and kissed gently the little hand of his baby that was holding tight Emma's shoulder. The baby did a cute sound as an answer to her daddy and both of her parents smiled. Killian placed a kiss on Emma's lips.

"I love you, Swan" He said

"I love you, too" She answered and her free hand caressed a bit his cheek.

"So, what do you say, little one? Are you ready for mummy's birthday?" Killian said while both Killian and Emma placed a small kiss on each of the baby's cheek. The little one giggled.

"What do you say, my love? Let's sail away?" He said offering his hand to hers. She gave hers in return. Her ring shining brightly in the process, the couple descended the stairs to the ball room. The first people who were to welcome the royal couple were her parents. Both Snow and Charming glew from happiness. Emma passed the infant to Killian who had taken off his hook for a bit, replacing it with his fake hand, to hold properly his daughter. Emma gave her parents a big hug, and the party started to flow harmoniously. Royal guests were congratulating the young couple, bringing presents to the baby and to the Princess. Time passed quickly, and it was time for the Princess to blow her candle. Emma stood in the middle of the ball room where a table with a giant cake was. Emma gave her baby one last kiss to her cheek and she was ready to blow her candle. The room was in silence for the Princess to blow her candle, when… A little sneeze was heard. It was the baby who was in her father's arms.

"Bless you" Killian said before putting a gentle kiss on her head. Now it was time.

In an instinct, she closed her eyes gently and her pink lips blew the lighted candle. Everyone clapped and Emma giggled.

"So, Princess what did you wish for?" Grumpy said who was standing next to her parents and Killian. Emma froze for a moment. She caught herself staring for a bit at Killian and her baby. Who would have thought that Captain Hook was such a soft dad? He was holding her like she was the most precious thing in the world and their child was so beautiful. She lost herself for seconds glancing them in their beautiful blue eyes before answering;

"Not a thing. Everything I could ever want is right here" She said now tears falling to her cheeks and she leaned towards her family and hugged them tight closing like this their own little world. This seemed like a dream. A few months after their wedding, and they were already so happy. Not a crisis to be seen in the horizon. Just them and their duckling. Having them both felt so good and this was her best gift ever.
