My Captain

The Ball

*Killian's POV *

The ball was tonight and I couldn't be more excited. I've never been to a proper ball, at least not as myself. Emma and I had been here for about a 6 weeks and they'd been wonderful. 

Tonight after the ball we were journeying to the summer palace. It'd Snow's idea, wanting to keep tradition. Emma and I discussed it at length, and opted for the privacy.

I changed clothes and readied myself to receive my princess at the base of the stairs after her entrance.

*Emma's POV *

I was standing on my balcony, staring at the sea, just watching the Jolly Rodger bobb up and down. I was extremely excited for the ball this evening. First official ball. Well besides the one 30 years ago. And yet, I have the same partner, I smiled to myself. 

This time, however, I had something important to share with said partner this time. I'll do it at the end of the ball, I decided. Ugh. Why did this have to be so hard!

My mom came in, immediately sifting through gowns. She soon had a frustrated look on her face and I laughed. "What are you looking for?"

"The dress I had made for you. Regina and I designed it for tonight." She said, distracted.

I opened a closet and gasped. It was a midnight blue satin ballgown.  (The one in the picture) I couldn't wait to see Killian's face when he saw me in this.

*Killian's POV *

I stood on one side of the long staircase, with David across from me on the other side. I was so nervous. I wore dress clothing, except my pirate jacket. I needed something of my old life, a reminder.

The ballroom was full of people. They started to announce the entrance of Snow and Emma.  David met my anxiety filled gaze and gave me a reassuring nod. I nodded in response and returned my eyes to the staircase.

I soon caught sight of my princess and lost all words except three: beautiful, perfect, and mine.

*Emma's POV *

Killian and I danced the night away, laughing and talking the entire evening.

"You ready for our journey, love?" Killian asked as the last song of the night began, a waltz ironic enough.

I smiled and dragged him to the garden. "Yes, but I need to tell you something." I shivered as it was getting quite chilly and he immediately took off his jacket and put it on me. I laughed, "good look, huh? Pirate's coat and a ballgown?"

He laughed too, "I rather enjoy it actually it. I always knew there was a little pirate in you, Swan." He winked.

"How many times do I have to tell you," I smiled. "Its Jones now." I giggled again when he pulled me flush against him.

"And I told you," he said as I wrapped myself around him again. "You will always be my Swan." He whispered and kissed me softly.

I pulled away a bit and looked down, afraid to meet his eyes. "Killian, look, I..." it trailed off. He lifted my chin and met my gaze. "I'm... I'm pregnant..." I whispered.

I felt him tense and I thought he was going to run, but then his lips crashed onto mine. The kiss was passionate and all consuming. I went to deepen the kiss, but as I broke away for air, I was harshly ripped from Killian's arms and a sweaty hand covered my mouth.

I heard Killian yelling then a smack and a thud as he hit the ground unconscious. I was dragged in the direction of the docks and then everything went black

*Killian's POV *

I was hit hard, but I woke within minutes. I looked around for any sign of who would dare take my princess from my arms. That's when I spotted a rather familiar dagger. My rage grew as I looked at the handle.

Blackbeard.
