Troubles in Storybrooke

Chapter 35

Emma opened her eyes but wasn't sure how long she was asleep and glanced at Killian without any help. She carefully pushed herself up to sit on the bed and before she moved to slowly stand. She didn't feel as weak as she had before and her fever had gone down so she felt a little better than she had earlier. She saw the white shirt of Hook's she had worn the other night and slowly slipped that on but didn't bother trying to put trousers on since she didn't think she'd be able to and the shirt reached about her knees anyway. She put a hand against her wound before she slowly made her way above deck, she needed some air and hadn't wanted to wake Killian up. Color was starting to slowly come back to her though she still was a bit pale, not as pale as she had been.

Killian rolled over a little and he reached his hand out to reach for Emma, but noticed the bed was empty, he sat up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes slightly. "swan?" He asked a little concerned, god knows how long she had been gone but her spot on the bed where she had been was now cold. He stood up and checked the cabin before he grabbed a blanket and took it with him in case she was outside. He left the cabin and walked up the stairs to the top deck, he smiled seeing Emma and just watched her from the door near the stairs, she looked beautiful in this light, wind slightly blowing at her hair, he didn't want to disturb her just yet, perhaps she needed a little time to herself, or fresh air to say the least, he smiled and stood there for a few moments before he walked over to her and draped the blanket over her shoulders from behind her and pressed a soft kiss to the back of her head. "Hi" he hummed softly, he was quite surprised that she'd managed to stand up by herself and, nevertheless get all the way out onto the top deck, and he was glad to see some more color in her cheeks.

Emma there for a few had been trying to see if she could use her magic to try and heal herself a little bit but she wasn't strong enough and all that came out of it was a faint light so she figured she would just need to heal a little more on her own. She had moved to be looking out at the water, one hand pressing against her wound slightly since climbing the stairs to the deck had hurt but she had managed, though her eyes stayed on the water, just letting her mind wander. When she felt a blanket over her shoulders, she looked over to see the pirate and smiled a little bit as she held the blanket around her with one hand. "Did I wake you?" She asked him.

Killian smiled softly and wrapped his arms carefully around Emma standing behind her. "No don't worry love, I just woke up and you weren't there so I wanted to make sure you were okay" he smiled and pressed a kiss to her cheek. He let out a happy sigh as he looked out over the water. "It's my favorite thing, being on a ship, the view, the water, the way the sun and moon hit it just right...it's beautiful," he said hoping the blanket would keep her a little warm.

Emma smiled a bit and slowly let herself lean back against his chest as she nodded. "I'm sorry if I worried you. I just wanted to get some air." She told him as she placed a hand on his arm, rubbing her thumb against his skin. She listened to him telling as she looked out at the view. "It is beautiful." She said softly.

Killian rested his head against hers gently and smiled, her touch calmed him so much ." it's okay...I just wanted to make sure you hadn't hurt yourself at all" he said softly. "Would you like some time alone? I know it's been a busy day for you" he said pressing a kiss to her cheek. He looked at her for a few seconds and smiled, his hook gently brushing down her cheek. "You've definitely got more color in your face," he said which meant the medication had worked.

Emma smiled some and nodded. "I didn't." She promised before she shook her head. "I don't mind if you stay here with me." She told him, closing her eyes a little bit when she felt his hook brush down her cheek before nodding. "I do feel a little better, I think the fever has gone down and I do feel.. a little stronger. Not completely and still sore but a little stronger than I had felt before." She told him before she slowly turned around in his arms so she was facing him, looking up at him before she leaned forward and pressed a kiss to his cheek.
