TIME FOR RETIREMENT!

Quite a few of our horses has been retired from shows this month, staring with BOE Mexico Nightmare. This prima Oldenburg mare has been doing quite well in Show Jumping, and also fine in Dressage too. With 42 points in Show Jumping T-Shows. 43 points in Show Jumping, 48 points in Dressage and 65 points in Sportshorse in R-Shows - she has definitely earned her retirement!

The best children's pony in the world has also reached retirement age! BOE Sunny Day aka. Sunny has been the first pony for almost all of our children, and has taught them to ride and love horses. She has been competing in Pony (181 points), Pony Show Jumping (186 points) and Driving (190 points) with the kids, and has had a lot of fun!

With her she takes the titles of The Golden Pony, Nuage and Tandem Champion.

Opaline HF aka. Libby has also earned her retirement! With an overall of 383 points in R-Shows you can say she has done really good. She has competed in Sportshorse (146 points), Show Jumping (142 points) and Dressage (95 points), giving a total of 8 bonus points off to her offsprings!

She has done a lot of good in her time as a show horse (with titles of Supreme Champion, Volant and L'Étoile), and will hopefully enjoy her retirement. Thank you for selling her to us Ian Salvatore!

RRS Caspian has been a personal favorite of mine for sooo long! He has done a lot of good with an overall score of 451 points across disciplines such as Sportshorse (132 points), Show Jumping (172 points) and Dressage (147 points). He has earned the titles of Supreme Champion, Nuage and Danzatore through his career as a show horse.

BOE Rolly Joger aka. Sandokan has been a good boy, definitely deserving his retirement at 403 points across the disciplines. Seeing him compete in Show Jumping (151 points) with Narcisa Foremann has been one of the biggest pleasures in my life. He definitely takes after his sire BOE Sailor Moon, and has done a great job at every show!

Dressage (137 points) wasn't what he enjoyed the most, but he did well there too along with the halter shows for Sportshorses (115 points).

Retirering GE Rosebank was harder than I had thought possible. She is such a good mare, her rider Vigga Hertz can only agree with that, and we are happy to now have an offspring of hers, who can take over after her.

Whether in Sportshorse (181 points), Show Jumping (146 points) or Dressage (170 points) she always did her best. She is such a prima mare of the Hanoverians, and we will probably never get a mare like her again.

BOE Ladykiller shouldn't have been retired this early. Shouldn't have been dead either. Yet he hurt himself so badly at a show that he had to be put down.

He earned himself a few points throughout his lifetime: Turkoman (41 points), Show Jumping (57 points) and Dressage (52 points) - and will give his skills to his sons in hopes that they will remember him, and have the same skill as him in shows.

That was all the horses retired this month!

The babies and their mommies are having the time of their life in the pasture. The fillies has already become good friends, though it's clear which one is the dominating one in the relationship xD

Our quite new mare GE Rosebank has also entered the pasture, though only with young Opaline for now. She was mostly bought because Opaline needed a new mommy/mentor now that Prada has her foal to worry about, but Rosebank is SUCH a sweet girl!

She is an experiences Show Jumper, and will soon be entering shows alongside the other horses.

Opaline seems to have taken a liking to the mature mare, they are already grooming each other. Most of the time it's not a problem to bring to horses who are strangers to each other, as long as it's only them in the pasture to begin with.

Ismael will be her new rider, and I'm pretty good with that. I will of course possibly want to be the first one to try her out in the arena, but he will be the one bonding, training and competing with her.

And Neha had a better ride on Pax today. Ismael was lunging Opaline under my supervision, as he has not worked a lot with youngsters. He has only worked with horses already broken in, and has never taught a horse to jump for the first time. He seemes to enjoy working with Opaline though, and Pax was actually behaving himself.

And look at this little guy we just collected! He is son of BOE Sailor Moon and PRH Rising Sun, and he is named EIEC Rolly Joger. He is a little pirate, lol xD

He is enjoying the pasture with gelding RRS Caspian, acting as nanny. Hopefully he can come and play with the fillies soon, but as he is months older (more specifically 3 months), he is probably too rough in his play right now for the barely two days old fillies.

Soon he will grow into a handsome though wonky build (bc all of them looks wonky) yearling, and we can begin training him a bit more!

Once GTKY tag game:

Tagged by: @mr-and-mrs-killian-jones (thank you for the tag!)

When did you start watching Once, and do you remember why?

I believe I started watching Once in 2015...I was traveling and got bored in the car so I started watching the first season of Once on Netflix! I guess you could say I was...”hooked”

Musical episode: Yay or nay?

Definitely, absolutely YAY, because CS got married AND we got to hear Colin sing. A win-win if you ask me.

What made watching Once worthwhile?

Seeing a plot twist to the classic fairy tales we know, and having a real-life aspect to them.

First + Current Main Ships?

Before Hook came along, my first ship was Snowing. Emma-wise, I first shipped her with Graham. But as soon as Hook came along, i was a goner for CS.

First + Current Favorite character?

My first favorite character was Emma, I love that she is such an independent badass that takes nothing from anyone, and knows what she deserves. I’d say she’s still my current favorite character.

Favorite arc (Why?)

I’d have to agree with @mr-and-mrs-killian-jones, my favorite arc is Neverland. I feel like that’s when we first really saw Emma’s motherly instincts for Henry come out, and we started to see a relationship forming between Killian and Emma.

Favorite plot twist?

My favorite plot twist had to be finding out that Ruby/Red was the wolf, not Peter.

Hardest Death to Watch

Killian’s death in 5x11, or Ingrid’s death.

This character should have gotten more time?

Graham

Favorite Once specific trope (think memory wipe, family trees, glowing walkey-talkey hearts, head achey timelines…)

Does pancakes time count?

Three quotes that mean a lot to you?

There’s a lot of great quotes in OUAT! My top three would have to be...

“If it can be broken, it means it still works”

“I will find you, I will always find you.”

Anddd Emma’s speech to Ashley in season 1 (I couldn’t find the whole quote)

How do you summarize the show to your friends? (max. 3 sentences):

Fairytale characters that live in our world, while also facing real-world and fantasy obstacles. And y’know, captain swan.

Favorite platonic ship?

100% Captain Charming

Favorite dish from Granny’s?

Grilled Cheese? or pancakes, if she serves them LOL.

Favorite funny scene?

Henry and Hook’s rescue of Emma, where Henry references Star Wars

Past Hook being drunk and calling the Jolly Roger the Rolly Joger

What part of the newly merged realms would you like to live in?

Storybrooke or Snow and Charming’s castle.

A question for the people I tag. Do you have a new fandom you’re addicted to now that ouat no longer airs?

Nope

And my question for the people I tag. What is the best thing about season 7x02 and 7x22?

Getting to see Hope Swan-Jones (impossibly cute)

Sorry if you been tagged already.

Once gtky tag game:

Tagged by: @ilovemesomekillianjones & @laughswaytoomuch (Thanks for tagging me)

I had fun answering these questions.

When did you start watching Once, and do you remember why?

I came to this show late in 2012. Started binge-watching season 1 on Netflix so I can be caught up when season 2 premiere starts. I really like the idea of the show using the classics traditional Disney fairytales characters. Also, like the idea of the show having Emma to be an original princess and making her the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming/David Nolan. I love this show is because It’s all about Disney characters fairytales that I know and love growing up watching them. Then came Colin O’Donoghue to the show plus he’s is hot.

Musical episode: Yay or nay?

It’s a big Yay from me. Because captain swan got married in the musical episode.

What made watching Once worthwhile?

Fairytales, Watching captain swan falling in love, Seeing new realms, Storylines (some I like, some I didn’t like.)

First + Current Main Ships?

When I first starting watching season 1 I didn’t have a first + a current main ship ‘cause I didn’t know what shipping was and otp was lol, but when season 2 premiered Hook and Emma have a deep connection between them and I said there it is found a ship that I like. Captain Swan my first + current main ship.

First + Current Favorite character?

My first favorite character is Emma Swan ‘cause she is a strong independent badass woman, smart, a fighter, a savior, a hero and she also has magic. She doesn’t take crap from anybody.

and my other first favorite character is Graham I really like him from the start of season 1. (I absolutely adored him and I’m still grieving about his death in the heart is a lonely hunter episode. I wouldn’t find another character I like now that he was not on the show anymore.

Then came Killian Jones/ CaptainHook my current favorite character when he showed up in season 2. A bad boy/villain/pirate turned into a pirate hero, He change for Emma and for himself, He’s trying to be the better man that he can be for Emma and for himself, He doesn’t care about himself anymore, Completely turned his life around for Emma Swan and for himself, Emma makes him want to be that best version of himself again.

Favorite arc (Why?)

My favorite arc is Neverland ‘cause the development and moments between Captain Swan in season 3 and that kiss in 3x05 the good form.

And there was 3B 3x21& 3x22 I also like Captain Swan movie all shows Captain Swan having adventures together.

Favorite plot twist?

Finding out Peter Pan is Rumplestiltskin dad.

Red turns out to be the wolf.

Hardest Death to Watch

Killian’s death in 5x11 he sacrificed himself saving (the woman he loves) and his friends Rumple. I cried so much on that episode.

and Graham’s death in 1x07

This character should have gotten more time?

Red/Ruby, Graham, and Mulan.

Favorite Once specific trope (think memory wipe, family trees, glowing walkey-talkey hearts, head achey timelines…)

Family Trees: In Storybrooke everybody’s related in town.

Three quotes that mean a lot to you?

Oh, geez!!! There’s a lot of once quotes that I like. It’s hard to just choose just 3.

“So when I win your heart, Emma and I will win it. It will not be because of any trickery. It will be because you want me.

“I will find you, I will always find you.” ( Charming family motto)

“I love you.” ( Emma finally told Killian the 3 words in season 5 finale.)

How do you summarize the show to your friends? (max. 3 sentences):

Fairytales living in our world they’re all related, Captain Swan is the best ships of all ships and the best love story ever told. Season 1-6 are the best seasons and season 7 was okay except for episodes 7x02 and 7x22.

Favorite platonic ship?

Captain Charming.

Favorite dish from Granny’s?

Grilled Cheese

Favorite funny scene?

In New York serenade Henry Why you dress like that? and Hook talked back to Henry Why you dress like that?

David and Hook making potion scene.

Wish realm Hook was drunk where he was calling Princess Edna instead of Princess Emma.

Past Hook was drunk and he called the Jolly Roger as Rolly Joger.

What part of the newly merged realms would you like to live in?

Storybrooke.

A question for the people I tag. Do you have a new fandom you’re addicted to now that ouat no longer airs?

No.

And my question for the people I tag. What is the best thing about season 7x02 and 7x22?

When Emma tells Henry she has the biggest news ever!!! She’s is pregnant. And the writers didn’t miss up captain swan happy ending.

Got to see Captain Swan’s baby Hope Swan-Jones in the series finale.

Killian Jones Quotes

Killian Jones Appreciation Meme Day 3: Favorite Quotes

A man unwilling to fight for what he wants deserves what he gets

Killian Jones. But, most people have taking to calling me by my more colorful moniker…Hook.

I don’t mean to upset you Emma, but I think we make quite the team.

Tick, tock, time’s up, crocodile.

Perhaps I just needed reminding that I could

Actually, I quite fancy you from time to time when you’re not yelling at me.

Perhaps you’re the one who couldn’t handle it

I never thought I’d be capable of letting go of my first love… of my Milah. To believe I could find someone else. That is, until I met you.

When I win your heart, Emma, and I will win it. It won’t be because of any trickery. It will be because you want me.

There’s not a day will go by I won’t think of you.

I came back to save you.

If it can be broken, it means it still works

One of these days I’m gonna stop chasing this woman

Red leather doesn’t come into vogue here…ever

Pick a partner who knows what me’s doing

I’d go to the end of the world for her….or time.

Behold! The Rolly Joger!

I’m devilishly handsome again.

They are if you’ve got something of value to trade

Why, the Jolly Roger of course.

There is always a crisis. You might want to consider living your life during them, otherwise you might miss it.

If there’s one thing I’m good at, it’s surviving.

It’s a device for talking. I don’t bloody know, I press the “Emma” button and she answers, usually.

I’m a fan of every part of you.

Don’t you know, Emma? It’s you.

We’ll find another way, together

The future’s nothing to be afraid of.

I’ll never stop fighting for us.

For this lovely piece of hardware, I’ll take your hand. For Milah, your heart. And for pulling Emma into the darkness, I think your head will do quite nicely!

Get your affairs in order, dearie! For we duel at noon on my ship!

Let me die a hero. That’s the man I want you to remember me as.

When you love someone, you know.

Everything Liam did was to ensure I had a future. And I dam well intend to have one

It’s true love. Emma, you chose me, that was the test.

If I helped take off that armor, don’t put it back on just because you’re gonna lose me.

My Emma’s too strong for that.

And you kiss me with that mouth?

Shush, shush, shush. It’s story time.

Once upon a time, the Evil Queen tried to kill Snow White and separate these two. But, no matter what she tried, they always found each other. And then, they found you. And you you inherited the strength of that love. So that even when they couldn’t find each other, you made sure they did. True love can break any curse and so can you because that’s what you’re made of. You’re the savior because you were born of their love. And they’re in love today because you brought them together. You, you can overcome these visions. You can overcome anything. Now, remember you who are: the product of true love.

You’re amazing, Emma.

I just really desperately need to kiss you.

Captain Hook doesn’t get cold feet.

I never thought I’d live anywhere but the sea, but I…I do miss that patch of dirt we call home.

I’m not a bloody matchmaker!

I’m trying to get home to you. And I won’t ever stop until I do.

I don’t remember asking your opinion.

Swan, I know that you face an uncertain future, but there’s something I want you to be certain of. That I will always, always be by your side. So, Emma Swan, what do you say? Will you marry me?

I wasn’t talking about the pancakes

And that’s how you wake up Blue? With dead baby dragon?

A seafaring man does not take superstitions lightly!

Emma, when we met, there was just one thing that mattered to me: getting my revenge. And you did something that no one else ever could. You showed that a heart full of love was the most precious treasure of all and one I don’t intend to lose. They say a captain’s heart belongs to his ship, but with this ring, it now belongs to you.

But one thing is for sure love, with you I have everything.

I think I wanna get back to my wife.

It was our first adventure together.

Granted, it was hardly love at first sight, but things changed, we changed. Look, we made each other better. Emma and I were never a predestined love story guaranteed a happy ending. We fought for our love and we won. And you, you of all people should understand that. But now you…you saw into that mirror, she doesn’t remember who I am. So yeah, I’m gonna climb this beanstalk and I’m gonna find that bean because I’m not gonna lose everything I have just because some bitter fairy cast another bloody curse! Our story began on the beanstalk and I’ll be dammed if it ends there too.

GROWING BOYS

The boys are really growing these days. Especially EIEC Akeystone and EIEC Rolly Joger. Akeystone hit 2 years old the other day, and Rolly hit 3 years old. That means that Rolly is soon ready to be broken in, while it's groundwork for at least another year for Akeystone.

He has a very long neck, and generally looks very strange and funky, because he is a growing boy, while Rolly has grown into a handsome stallion, though needing some muscle - that's for sure!

Also the stable has changed name from Echo International Equestrian Center to Echo International Jumping as jumping is the stable's main discipline. What most of the horses compete in, and therefore our focus.

Even EIEC CTRL+ALT+DELETE aka. Alto has been growing a lot, hitting 5 years of age. He has become so handsome, and has gained a lot of jumping experience.

Rum and Cupcakes (Epilogue- Part 2)

Some pure cuteness to get you feeling warm and fuzzy on your snow day, @a-city-dove . I know you were waiting for this :)

Chapter 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

Epilogue: Part 1

Ao3

In early March, Roland took Emma up on her offer for him to help her bake some cupcakes. Robin was going to drop Roland off to her store on Saturday morning, and Emma was going to walk Roland to City Hall to be with his mother when the cupcakes were done. Killian left their apartment early to do some maintenance on The Rolly Joger. Upon his departure, Emma drove to her shop and got all the ingredients out for two cupcake flavors she thought Roland might like. She prepared recipes for cotton candy cupcakes and rich double chocolate cupcakes. She decided to prepare her frosting ahead of time, since Roland wouldn’t be able to help much with that and she didn’t want to bore the kid. She made a sugary marshmallow frosting for the cotton candy cupcake; she could feel her teeth rotting as she swiped a finger through the icing to taste it. It was perfect for a happy, hyper kid like Roland. She put the bowl with the cotton candy icing aside and she cleaned her mixer so she could make a simple chocolate frosting. She smiled as her lips closed over her finger and found that her frosting came out perfectly. Emma was pleased with herself as she put the chocolate icing next to the cotton candy frosting. All she had to do now was wait for Robin to drop Roland off. She picked up Killian’s latest recommendation, The Beautiful and Damned, and got lost in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s words. She only looked up when she heard Robin talking to Roland as they walked in; even the door opening did not distract her from her novel.

“Roland, I want you to be good for Emma. Best behavior.” Emma closed her book and walked over to where Robin was squatting on the ground in front of Roland.

“Okay, Daddy. I promise.” Satisfied, Robin stood up and ruffled Roland’s hair as he waved goodbye to his son. Roland waved back before he turned his attention to Emma.

“Alright, kid. Ready to make some cupcakes?” Roland nodded enthusiastically and followed Emma to where she laid out all the ingredients. “Alright, I know you like chocolate, but do you like cotton candy?”

“Uh huh!” Emma smiled.

“Good. I thought we could make a bunch of double chocolate cupcakes, and a bunch of cotton candy cupcakes. What do you think?” Roland was wide-eyed and all smiles. “Awesome!” Emma grabbed the butter from the opposite end of the table and measured out the correct amount for a batch of cotton candy cupcakes. She threw it into her mixing bowl and grabbed the bag of sugar.

“Alright, Roland. Want to help me measure out some sugar?” He moved to stand next to her. He couldn’t quite reach the top of the table; his forehead came to the edge. Emma grabbed a nearby chair and positioned it next to the table. She helped Roland stand on the chair so he could reach all the ingredients. Once the two got comfortable with their positions, Emma had Roland help measure the sugar, then pour it into the bowl with the butter. She softened the butter a bit herself, then let Roland mix the butter and sugar together with a spoon. Next, she showed him how to crack an egg without getting shells in the batter, and he was absolutely amazed by how she could crack four eggs at once. Roland loved the smell of the vanilla extract when she had him sniff it, and the curls resting on his forehead had some flour residue as he poured and mixed the flour into the batter. He started having trouble mixing as more and more flour was added, so Emma placed her hands around his on the spoon and helped him stir, claiming that he was doing most of the work and that he was so strong. The proud smile that graced his face made her smile in response as she decided the batter was sufficiently incorporated. She gave Roland an ice cream scooper. “Okay, get some of the batter into that scooper and then dump it in one of these cupcake liners.” Roland picked the liners out; they were a metallic emerald color. He carefully scooped some of the batter, then waited for the drips to stop before he moved the scooper over the cupcake liners. Emma watched as the boy slowly and meticulously cleared the whole bowl, filling as many liners as he could - under her direction, of course. She put the cupcake trays into the oven, telling him to stay on his chair as she did so, and she grabbed another mixing bowl on her way back. “So, chocolate cupcakes now. Sound good?”

“Yeah!” The bakers repeated the process from the cotton candy cupcakes with the new ingredients, and the first batches of cupcakes were done in the oven right when the chocolate cupcakes were ready to be baked. She put the hot cupcakes to the side to cool while she got a snack for Roland and herself. She let him come with her to the refrigerator, and he made himself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with apple slices on the side. She made herself a sandwich, though it looked pathetic compared to his carefully crafted creation, and she ate some grapes while she asked Roland about school and his friends and interests. He was remarkably sweet. He was smart, and she was amazed how happy he was to talk about anything she asked about; he would give Mary Margaret a run for her money. After their makeshift lunch, the cotton candy cupcakes were cool enough to frost, so she put them all onto a plate and let Roland loose with her decorating supplies. Admittedly, she may have gone a bit nuts getting things for him to decorate with. Emma got M&Ms, Pop Rocks, four different types of sprinkles, and she crushed up animal crackers and brought out her stash of chocolate chips. Plus, she had the icing she made before he arrived. She even stooped low enough to buy small tubes of store-bought icing in different colors so he would have the freedom to use whatever colors he wished. She pulled up a chair and sat across from him as he debated how to decorate his first cupcake. He grabbed the tube of brown icing and made a circle and two triangles on the side of the circle.

“What are you making?”

Roland didn’t take his eyes off his cupcake as he answered, “a puppy dog.”

“Does the doggy have a name?” Roland put the icing down as he thought about Emma’s question. He looked at the wall behind Emma as he pondered. A grin sprouted on his face as he came up with an answer.

“Little John!”

“Like from the Robin Hood stories?” Roland nodded, curls bouncing.

“My daddy tells me all about Robin Hood before bed every night.”

“That is very cool.” He smiled even brighter at Emma’s approval as he went back to his decorating. He gave Little John M&M eyes and a chocolate chip nose. Roland’s decorating was adorable. After Little John, he made a cupcake with a bow and arrow for his dad, and one with an apple for his mom. Roland made a polka dot cupcake, and one with Pop Rocks scattered all across the top. Roland focused intensely as he worked, his little tongue poking out of his mouth in concentration. Emma added the chocolate cupcakes to his plate as they cooled, and she removed the ones he finished. He looked up at Emma as he considered his next cupcake.

“Can I make one for Uncle Killy?”

“Of course! I can give it to him tonight if you’d like.” Roland grabbed the chocolate icing and squeezed it all over the top of the chocolate cupcake. “Daddy told me you’re in love with Uncle Killy.” Emma choked on air; she wasn’t expecting that. Roland, oblivious to her shock and amusement, kept talking, “I know Uncle Killy loves you.”

“Oh, you do?”

“Mhm. Uncle Killy always smiles when my daddy says your name. And his cheeks turn red.” Roland giggled at the thought. Emma had to hand it to him, the kid was perceptive.

“Well your dad is right. I do love your Uncle Killy.” Roland smiled, satisfied with her answer.

“Can you help me make a hook for him? He tells me all about Captain Hook when he watches me when my mommy and daddy go out.”

“Sure. Here, wrap your hand around mine. We’ll make a hook together.” Emma couldn’t help the smile that plastered itself to her face as she guided their hands to form a hook on the top of the chocolate frosting. “What do you think?”

“I love it!” Roland grabbed another cupcake and started pondering his decoration. Emma put Killian’s cupcake into its own box. “Are you and Uncle Killy married?” Emma froze.

“Um, no. Not yet.” Emma had flashbacks to less than a month ago; she was positive Killian was going to propose. She felt embarrassed just thinking about it, even knowing that Killian was out on his boat and nowhere near her store.

“Why not?” Of course he would ask more, he was a curious kid.

“Maybe it’s just not our turn to get married.”

“When will it be your turn?”

“I-I don’t know.” She had to recover from this. “But when it is our turn, would you come to our wedding?” A beaming smile burst onto Roland’s face.

“Yeah!”

“It’s a deal then.” They both turned their attention back to the chocolate cupcake he was decorating. “What are you making now?”

“It’s a swan. For you. Because Uncle Killy calls you Swan. And your name is Emma Swan!” She hugged him from her position next to him.

“Thank you, Roland. I love it!” Her heart clenched as she took her swan cupcake and put it with Killian’s hook cupcake. She wasn’t really a kid person, but Roland was probably the cutest thing she’d ever seen. Emma watched him work on cupcake after cupcake until there were no more to decorate, and the table was an absolute mess of decoration ingredients. “Alright, kid. How about you go wash your hands and I’ll clean the table? Then we can go see your mom and you can give her the special cupcake you made for her.” Roland jumped down from the chair and Emma led him to a sink for him to clean up. She cleared the back table of the sugary mess before heading back to help Roland finish up. She wiped the flour dust from his hair and wiped the chocolate icing from his cheek. When he looked clean again, he helped her box his cupcakes and they started heading for City Hall. Swan’s Cupcakes was within walking distance to City Hall, so she walked with him, his cupcakes under her arm. She kept a hand on his shoulder to keep him close until he reached his hand up to grab hers. Moving her hand from his shoulder, she gripped his little hand back as he held her’s and swung their hands in between them. Emma was so moved by the gesture, she fought back tears the rest of the walk to Regina’s office. When they arrived, Regina’s office door was open for them. She walked Roland in and he ran to hug his mother.

“How was baking with Emma?”

“Really fun! I made you a special cupcake, Mommy!” Roland raced back to Emma to open the box and find his specially decorated apple cupcake. He took it out carefully and walked it over to Regina.

“You made this for me?” Roland held it out further and nodded. “Thank you, Roland.” She took the cupcake and pulled him into a hug. Regina turned her attention to Emma.

“And thank you, Miss Swan.”

“No problem at all. He’s such a good kid.”

“Thank you, Emma,” Roland peeked out from under Regina’s arm.

“You are very welcome, Roland. We can do it again another time if you want.” He nodded. Emma turned to walk out, sending him a small wave on her way out. She exhaled upon stepping out of City Hall, thinking about how amazing Roland was. She started back for her shop to do a better cleaning job before heading home with her and Killian’s special cupcakes from Roland.

Killian got home just before dinner. Emma had put their cupcakes on their kitchen counter to await Killian’s return. He strutted in the door to find Emma napping on the couch; Roland must have tired her out. He kissed her forehead, effectively waking her.

“Hello, love.” He shucked his jacket off and reached down to untie his boots. “How was your day with my unofficial nephew?”

“Really great.” Emma yawned and sat up.

“Yeah?” Killian toed his boots off and walked over to Emma.

“Yeah. He was so well-behaved.”

“Aye. That he is.”

“Do you know what Robin’s been telling him?” Killian raised his eyebrows. “Robin’s been telling Roland about us.”

“Oh?”

“Roland told me that Robin told him that I’m in love with his Uncle Killy. And he told me his Uncle Killy loves me too.”

“Smart lad.”

“He asked why we weren’t married yet.” Killian’s amused grin faded.

“Swan, I truly apologize for leading you on like that, but proposing on Valentine’s Day was never my intention.”

“Killian, calm down. I’m not upset.” He stopped talking, waiting for her to explain. “I know it’ll happen someday. It just wasn’t our time to get married. But Roland had me thinking about the future. Our future.” Killian remained silent, scared to say the wrong thing. “I know we’ll get married eventually and it’ll happen when it happens. I was wondering your thoughts on something though.”

“And what would that be?”

“When we get married and we’re all settled, how would you feel about starting a family together?”

“Swan, I thought you didn’t desire children. You know I’m okay with that.” He was so understanding; she could melt at how sweet he always was about these issues. It was no secret to her that he wanted children; from what she’d learned about him, he had always wanted children. She blurted out that she didn’t want kids one night, and he had just accepted it. A part of her almost wanted him to argue with her because she knew how desperately he wanted a family, but he never once pushed her. He almost didn’t believe what he was hearing as Emma changed her mind after spending just one morning with a child.

“Well, spending the day with Roland got me thinking. He was so sweet, Killian. I had my hand on his shoulder to keep him close when we were walking to Regina’s and he held my hand. And he’s so small and adorable. I actually had a great time with him. So I thought maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to raise a kid with you. One of our own.”

“Truly?”

“Really.”

“Oh, Swan,” Killian had no words, so he pulled her lips to his and kissed her passionately to convey his approval. He pulled away and rested his forehead against hers. “I would love to start a family with you, I’d be happy to, but when you’re ready. We can do this at your pace.” Emma breathed out a sigh of both bliss and relief.

“I love you.”

“I know.” Killian smirked.

“Fine. Be that way. I’ll just eat your special cupcake.” He pried his forehead from hers. “That’s right. Roland made each of us a special cupcake.” Emma grabbed his hand and led him to the box on the kitchen counter. She opened the box and watched a smile appear on Killian’s face as he saw the hook and the swan in the box.

“What do you say we spoil our dinners?” He gestured to the cupcakes and she laughed. He dropped her hand to take both cupcakes out of the box, handing the swan-topped one to Emma. They ate their respective cupcakes as his hand sought out hers again. He brushed his thumb over her knuckles and she went in for a hug when she finished chewing.

“If our kid is half as good as Roland, we’ll be lucky.”

“Our little cygnet or pirate will be amazing. How could they not be? They’re going to have the best mother in the world.”

“And a pretty amazing dad.” He pressed a chaste kiss to her lips. She looked up at him, refusing to release him from her embrace. “Oh, I also promised Roland he could come to our wedding.” Killian chuckled.

“I think we can arrange that.”

STARTING UP SOMETHING NEW

Today was the start of something new for Black Onyx Equestrian. Narcisa has taken the job as General Manager, and is mostly managing the Hanoverians as she knows them best. She has also brought some of her old staff with her, and they work well together so I am happy.

Day begin with a grooming session for Rolly (BOE Rolly Joger), who is the son of BOE Sailor Moon by the way. We are expecting great things from him, even though he hasn't been broken in for that long yet.

Vigga poked Narcisa on the shoulder, while she was grooming Rolly.

"Can you help a little with Keystone?" she asked her, and smiled hopefully.

Narcisa looked thoughtful and maybe a little annoyed (but not much).

"All you have to do is hold the rope, while I lean over his back, it will take a second I promise!" patting the neck of the young stallion as she spoke.

"Sure, let me just make sure Rolly will be ok while I am gone," she said, loosening his ropes from the rings.

"See you in the indoor arena!" Vigga called out, before leaving the barn with Keystone (BOE Akeystone).

When Narcisa had put the chestnut into his stall, and kissed him goodbye ("I'll be back soon, I promise!") she left to find Vigga and the black stallion in the indoor arena.

"Just hold here!" Vigga said, as Narcisa entered the dressage arena.

"Sure," she replied, holding onto the rope, but not touching the horse. This was Vigga's 'project' and she would not interfear.

"Good boy!" Vigga said, while scratching the stallions side, as she leaned over him and put weight on his back.

The stallion flicked his ear backwards to listen to what she was doing, but did not move. Narcisa's only task was to keep Keystone calm and where he was.

Vigga did that a few times more, before exciting the arena with a: "I'll be right back!"

Confused Narcisa just stood with the young stallion, patting his neck, now that Vigga's work seemed to be over.

Soon after Vigga came back with Rolly though. She had tacked him up and everything for Narcisa, which was nice. Then she could just do as planned right away, instead of needing to go back to the barn to put on saddle and so on.

"Thank you, Vigga," she said and smiled slightly.

"It's me who should thank you. Let me just take Keystone back to the barn again for a little groom, and then I will bring him to the pasture, and get on with the next horse," she gave her a blinding smile, and accepted the rope from her.

"He will be a fine horse in no time, Vigga," Narcisa said, as she felt like she had been acting ungrateful.

"I'm sure of it!" Vigga replied cheerfully, and led the stallion back to the barn.

Then finally Narcisa could get on with today's training. She pulled the blanket to the place just behind the saddle, and mounted the chestnut stallion. It was fun how people claimed that Chestnuts were always spicy. There was nothing spicy about Rolly, that was for sure. He was calm and level-headed almost always. But then again he is in fact Sailor's son after all.
