In the fanfiction, perhaps Emma's pregnancy is a magical one. Maybe it was the result of some long - lost magic that got reawakened. Hook would be both excited and a bit scared. They could go on a journey to find a way to ensure the baby's safety in a world full of magic and curses. And Emma might struggle with her usual role as a savior while being pregnant, but Hook would be there to support her every step of the way.
One great Hook Emma fanfiction is 'A Pirate's Heart'. It beautifully captures the chemistry between them. The story takes them on an adventure where they have to face many challenges together, which deepens their relationship.
Well, on Archive of Our Own (AO3), there are some great fanfics on this topic. A popular one was about Emma's pregnancy in relation to the prophecy in the show. It delved into how the prophecy might be affected by the new life she was bringing into the world. It also had some really sweet moments between Emma and her family as they prepared for the new arrival.
A plot idea could be that Emma has prophetic dreams about the baby's future during her pregnancy. These dreams might show the baby having a great and important role in the magical world. Hook then becomes determined to make sure the baby can fulfill this role safely. Another idea is that a dark force tries to possess the unborn baby, and Hook and Emma have to find a way to prevent it, maybe by seeking help from Regina who has experience with dark magic.
Hook would probably become even more protective. He's always been in love with Emma, but now with a baby on the way, he'd be constantly by her side. Emma, on the other hand, might struggle a bit with feeling less independent.
A plot could involve Emma having difficulties with her pregnancy due to her being the Savior and all the magic in her. Hook is overprotective and tries to find ways to ease her pain. Meanwhile, they learn that there are prophecies about their child that lead them on a journey to different realms to protect the baby's future.
Well, perhaps the fanfiction could focus on Hook's backstory related to the birth. Maybe he had some past experiences that make him extra cautious during Emma's pregnancy. For example, he might have witnessed a difficult birth in his pirate days that scarred him. So when it's Emma's turn, he's constantly on edge. The plot could then revolve around him coming to terms with his fears and being there for Emma as she gives birth.
A baby fanfiction about Emma and Hook could involve their journey into parenthood. Maybe it would start with the discovery of Emma's pregnancy. They'd have to deal with the joys and fears that come with it. Hook might be overprotective, given his past losses. And they'd face challenges from the magical world they live in, like protecting the baby from dark magic threats.
The 'hurt/comfort' trope is quite prevalent too. For example, when Hook gets injured and Emma takes care of him, or vice versa. It shows their deepening connection. Also, the 'time - travel' trope can be found, where they might go back in time and experience events that change their relationship in the present. This adds an interesting layer of complexity to their story.
Another common one is relationship - centric storylines. Writers often explore how Emma and Hook's relationship develops further, like dealing with misunderstandings or facing challenges together that strengthen their bond. It could be something as simple as a family member not approving of their relationship at first and how they overcome it.
A possible scenario in this fanfiction wedding could be that Emma and Hook decide to have a very private ceremony. They choose a secluded spot in the forest near a magical waterfall. Only a few close friends are invited, like Ruby and Granny. Emma's magic would be intertwined with the natural magic of the forest, creating a beautiful, ethereal atmosphere. Hook would surprise Emma with a special pirate - themed ring, and she would give him a compass that always points to her heart. The wedding would be simple yet filled with so much love and passion that it would be a moment they'd cherish forever.
