Troubles in Storybrooke

Chapter 34

Killian opened the door and smiled a little. "Hey Snow," he said and opened the door, stepping aside to let Emma's mother in. "You heard about the fever then," Killian said as he moved back around to the side of the bed.

Snow gave a smile and nodded as she stepped in but could see how pale Emma looked and the redness on her cheeks from the fever. "I did." She said with a nod. "I won't stay long though." She added as she pulled the medicine from her pocket and held it out to Hook. "Regina had this with her in her bag, she said it would help with the fever." She told the pirate. "I figured I'd bring it now before it gets any worse." She said and moved to be next to Emma and reached down, giving her hand a small squeeze, and leaned down, pressing a kiss to her daughter's head before straightening up and looking at Hook, smiling at him. "Thank you for taking care of her." She told the pirate.

Killian smiled, well he certainly couldn't argue with her wanting him to look at her. He sat beside her on the bed once Snow came in and held one of her hands softly squeezing them. He wanted her to try and get some rest after this, staying awake and even talking to people must be exhausting when one was this weak. Hook looked up at Snow's mentioned medicine and thanked her, he immediately took it off her and began to open up the lid, he would much rather be safe than sorry with something like this. "Thank you, Snow, and you're welcome. I do love her", hook said with a small smile, it was the first time he'd admitted out loud to Snow that he did love her daughter. He turned to Emma and passed her a few of the tablets and her glass of water, guiding it to her hand carefully knowing that she'd used a lot of energy today.

Emma gave a smile and gave his hand a small squeeze in return before she smiled at her mother. When she saw the medicine. She took the tablets and put them in her mouth before taking the glass, giving Hook a small smile when she felt him guide it to her hand. She took the glass of water and drank some of it to help swallow the tablets and once she got the medicine taken, she slowly laid back down after giving him the now empty glass.

Snow nodded and watched but hearing what Killian said, she looked at him though she smiled. "I'm glad you do." She said softly knowing that was the first time he had said that. She looked at her daughter but saw Emma was trying to stay away. "Get some sleep, Emma. I'll see you tomorrow." She said but saw the savior's eyes already started to close as Emma began drifting off to sleep, not fighting it anymore. Snow looked at the pirate and reached over, giving his shoulder a gentle squeeze. "I'm glad she has you. And even if David doesn't accept this yet. I do. I'm happy you two found each other." She told him. "I should go so she can rest." She added before she turned and started to head out of the cabin and back to the loft.

Killian took the glass off her once she took the medicine and filled it back up before placing it on the bedside table beside her so that she could have a drink whenever she got thirsty. He smiled and looked at her noticing she was already beginning to fall asleep, he fixed the blanket around her, tucking her in before removing the cloth off her forehead and feeling it with the back of his hand to check her temperature so he could see if it was getting better later. "Thank you love" he smiled at Snow and squeezed her hand in return. It truly meant a lot to him, he opened the cabin door for her. "See you tomorrow, thank you, Snow," he said and then shut the door, Hook himself then climbed into the bed and laid next to her, carefully resting his head on her shoulder and closing his eyes with a small sigh. Snow smiled at him and nodded. "You're welcome. See you tomorrow." She said as she left.

Emma moved a little bit when she was tucked in but she stayed fast asleep, one hand moving from under the blanket to hold onto his when she felt the bed move knowing he was lying there next to her even if she was asleep, her head moving a bit to be laying against his head once she felt it against her shoulder. Though her fever hadn't gotten any worse and the wound hadn't reopened yet.
