Perfection

Chapter 9

Emma's point of view

I could hear a slow beeping and I ached all over. My eyelids felt like they weighed a ton and I could barely open them. I tried till I finally managed and I took in my surroundings until I couldn't breath properly and I was choking on a tube which luckily a nurse came and took out of my mouth.

"Mummy?" I heard a small voice speak up but I couldn't move my head.

"Ellie?" I called her by her nickname and I felt a soft weight on my covers then a small and scared face hovering over me. I smiled lovingly at her and she kissed my forehead.

"I kiss your fo'head to make it better 'cause you was 'urt really bad. But a nice man help you" she explained then laid down beside me as a nurse came in while I was thinking about who my daughter was on about and I wanted to thank them.

"Hello Miss Swan. Good to see you awake and I must inform you about your condition. You have suffered a concussion, bruising to your head and stitches where you were knocked against a hard object, and a bruised ribcage with a small fracture on two of your ribs" she finishes before picking up the clipboard at the end of the bed.

"There is however a slight issue. In four days you will need to explain to the best of your ability about what happened and your daughter can't stay here because of space. Is there a family member or her father that she can stay with?" she asked politely as I looked at my sleeping angel beside me.

"Um... Her father doesn't know but I think my parents can if I could make a phone call?" I asked hoping my parents hadn't already left for their anniversary but I felt bad about asking to babysit. The nurse handed me the phone before slipping out of the chlorine smelling room. I used the phone to call them and they soon answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey"

"Oh Emma how are you sweetie we heard the news and we're so sorry we're not there do you want us to come back?"

"Um I'm fine thanks and no enjoy your break"

"Okay we'all call later because we're getting on the plane love you."

"Love you to".

I hung up the phone before placing my head in my hands while Eleanore woke up from her nap.

"I go get the nice man" she said tiredly before getting up and looking at me for approval so I just nodded and watched as she skipped out the room.

Killian's point of view

I sat in the waiting room contemplating whether she'd even want to see me. I placed my head in my hands before groaning in frustration until I felt a small presence next to me. I looked to my right to find the small girl from earlier look at me smiling.

"How's your mother doing lass?" I asked softly.

"She awake now but she said her 'ead 'urts but she want to t'ank you" she said innocently grinning at me.
