Please ejoy some more happy Swan Jones family moments

The whole house was quiet, but there was one little fella who was wide awake. Liam Swan Jones. The blonde haired 6 year old was packing his backpack for the best adventure ever. His daddy had promised him a boys only day and he was very excited. After he had finished he put his bag on and knocked on the door across the hall. He was too excited so he didn't wait for a response and walked in.

"Daddy," Liam whispered. Neither Emma nor Killian stirred.

"Daddy!" He whispered louder. Killian opened one eye.

"Liam?" Killian said sleepily then took a look at the clock on the night stand.

"It's 6:48. Why are you up so early lad?"

Liam jumped up excitedly. "Our adventure is today."

All Killian wanted to do was go back to sleep, but he couldn't resist his son's smile.

"Right then. Let's start by not waking up your mother." Killian slowly slipped out of the bed and walked out the room with Liam. Once out of the room Killian said, "Alright. First things first. Since this is a boys only adventure we need to start by being gentlemen."

Liam nodded. He clung onto his father's every word.

Killian continued. "And as gentlemen we must prepare breakfast for the ladies of the house."

"Mommy and Lily." Liam said.

Killian smiled. "Exactly!" He yawned. "Lets get to work." He picked up Liam and headed downstairs. He remembered when some of the dwarves made fun of him for picking up Liam who was 6 and could walk just fine. But Liam was small for his age. Killian looked at Liam who grinned and whose ocean blue eyes much like Killian's shined. Who cares what the dwarves said? He didn't want to think about Liam getting too old to be picked up.

Killian had made breakfast many times, but this would be Liam's first time helping.

"So what do we do first?" Liam had said the word "first" with a bit of an accent. Killian absolutely loved when either Liam or Lily would say a few words every now and then with his accent.

"We should start with pancakes." Killian starting pulling out things from the cupboard and fridge.

Liam rubbed his belly. "Yay! My favorite!"

Liam and Killian went into a breakfast making frenzy and when they were almost done Lily walked in.

"What's going on in here?" She yawned.

"Morning, love." Killian said setting down a bowl to kiss her head.

Liam frowned. "No fair. We were supposed to surprise you and Mommy."

Lily laughed. "Don't worry squirt. I am surprised."

Liam shrugged. After a few finishing touches Killian nodded.

"Well I guess we can go surprise Emma now."

Just then Emma entered. "Surprise me with what?"

Liam was so excited. "Surprise! Daddy and I made you and Lily breakfast!"

Emma pretended to be even more surprised than she was for Liam's happiness. "You did? Wow! Im so proud of you!"

Liam nodded. "Yup because Daddy and I are gentlemen."

Emma smiled and glanced at Killian knowing it was he who told him that.

"Yes. Such great two gentlemen. Thank you." Emma bent down to kiss Liam's cheek and then went to kiss Killian.

"Hey! I helped set the table." Lily said.

"And thank you to my beautiful daughter!" She said giving Lily a hug. Then they all sat down to eat.

Liam scarfed down his food.

"Hey kid. slow down. You're gonna get a stomachache." Emma tried stopping him but Liam was already done.

"Daddy and I need need to get our boys day only day started." He grabbed his backpack. The whole family laughed and Emma stood up.

"Okay. Let's get you out of those pajamas first and put on some other clothes."

Liam let go of Killian's hand and ran to the deck where he stared in awe. The family ship always looked so pretty. He waited for his daddy to catch up before entering the boat.

"Safety first." Killian strapped a life jacket onto Liam. It was a blue life jacket with gold stickers, dinosaurs, and anchors on it and "Liam" stitched across the upper right hand side.

"Today, m'boy I'm going to teach you how to steer the ship."

Liam's tiny jaw dropped. "Me?"

Killian nodded. He steered the ship himself first and then after a while he called Liam over.

"Just do as I do" Killian told him as Liam slipped in front of him.

Liam furrowed his eyebrows concentrating hard on what he was doing. Killian proudly watched as Liam slowly steered the boat. Later on they dropped the anchor and sat down to eat some lunch. Killian talked a little bit about navigation to Liam who excitedly kept asking questions. Then they just stared at the ocean.

"The horizon is very pretty." Liam said staring.

This made Killian smiled. "I think so too, lad."

Next, they decided to try fishing. Liam had a little trouble being patient, but in the end his frustration left when he caught a fish. Tiny, but still a fish.

"I'm proud of you son." Killian told him as he let the fish go back in the water.

Afterwards they went for some ice cream at the new shop.

They sat down on the sidewalk. "I can't wait to tell Mommy everything we did today." Chocolate covered his faced and dripped all over his shirt. Killian tried his best to wipe Liam's sticky face.

"Well its not over yet. Theres two places we need to go."

Liam licked his sticky fingers.

"Where are we going?"

—

"Wow!" Liam petted the horse with amazement. Killian placed Liam on top of the horse and Liam laughed. Killian took out the magical camera talking phone or whatever Emma called it and took a picture so that Emma could see. Then he took him down and placed him on a smaller horse and carefully rode around the stables.

Later on they had a sword fight with wooden swords.

"Am I doing this right?" Liam asked unsure. The wooden sword was a little heavy for him and he slightly moved it and often missed hitting Killian's sword.

"You're doing excellent lad." Killian reassured him.

This made Liam feel a lot better and he ran after his dad and missed hitting the other sword several times but Liam didn't care. He was having the best day ever.

Emma opened the door when she heard the car in the driveway.

"Liam! How was your day?"

"Shh." Killian said pointing his finger to his mouth.

Emma smiled and slowly took the little sleepy blonde boy from Killian's arms and went to tuck him in bed. She kissed him and went back downstairs.

"How'd the day go?" She sat on the couch next to Killian who handed her the phone so she could look at all the pictures.

Killian smiled. "It was wonderful. Our son is the most wonderful being. His smiles outshines the morning sun and when he does smile I'm undone. I fall apart."

Emma nodded in agreement.

"Oh, I almost forgot. He drew pictures for you." Killian pulled out the papers.

Across on the top the papers read: "For Mommy" and the each paper had a drawing of what they did that day. Emma smiled. She loved when Liam drew things for and she treasured everything her son did.

"Tomorrow is Mommy and son day." Killian said.

Emma laughed. "Can't wait." and placed her head on Killian's shoulders.

Couldn't resist to include Hamilton lyrics! If you hadn't heard the songs form the musical you should. The lyrics I quoted are from "Dear Theodosia"
