Perfection

Chapter 12

1 year later

Emma and Eleanore moved in with me and we were doing fine. Emma was sheriff still and I got a new job training. We've seen Neal walking around town looking at me like I'm a bug on his windscreen but I'd just smirk and wrap an arm around Emma to which he'd turn and look away. Today was the day I was going to ask...

Eleanore was staying with her grandparents, Emma's parents as I don't have any being an orphan and no foster parents I stayed in touch with. We walked hand in hand along the soft sand the cold saves crash down to then kissing our feet. I kissed her cheek as the sky turned orange and purple from the setting sun. I held her hand in my own as we carried on walking through the cool water that splashed. She played her head on my shoulder until we made our way to the end of the Pier. There were fairy lights lighting up the end of the pier with the faint sound of the waves crashing onto the beach.

"I-it's beautiful" she whispered turning to look at me kissing me softly.

"Emma. You are... What they call, my childhood sweetheart. I was used to loosing everyone. I lived in home of abuse but seeing you everyday at highschool reminded me that I didn't have to... I didn't have to face it alone. You understood me. Without you... I'd never have left. But I want to thank you, which is going to sound weird but if forgive and thank you because I managed to leave the abuse, you gave me a daughter that has brightened my life and I finally got to be with the woman I love" I smiled getting down on one knee pulling out a blue sapphire crystal placed on a silver band with I will always find you engraved on the inside as she gasped.

"Will you Emma Swan, be my wife?" I asked looking into her emerald green eyes that were glazed from unshed tears...

Emma's point of view

"Will you Emma Swan, be my wife?" he asked looking in my eyes. He forgives me? my mind was buzzing until I saw his head look down and he was starting to get up.

"Wait! Killian" I exclaim holding him down by putting my hand on his knee and lifting his chin up to face me.

"Of course I'll marry you. I was just so shocked that you managed to forgive me. Because you are my handsome knight in shining armour" I smile before throwing myself into his embrace causing him to fall back slightly.

"Woah" he smiles letting me regain my balance before sliding on the most beautiful ring on my finger. We then kissed as the moon hung in the night sky, everything so peaceful, so perfect...

I was sitting in the lounge with my feet up and Eleanore singing along to frozen. I smiled fondly playing with the ring on my finger then remembered if left the Shepherds pie in the oven. I quickly got up rushing to open the oven pulling out an almost black dinner. I sighed putting it on top of the cooker I really need to learn to cook I thought to myself as I heard the front door open and close.

"LET IT GOOO-DADDY" I heard Eleanore screech in the other room.

"Emma love, have you been cooking again?" I heard Killian call from the next room.

"Urm...Maybe?" I chuckled slightly looking at the burnt pie as he walks in wrapping his arms around my waist kissing my cheek softly.

"You're probably right... I wouldn't call that cooking" he chuckles before I playfully punch his arm.

"It's still edible" I argue taking my fork and taking a bite before spitting it into the sink.

"Aye Swan... Looks totally edible" he says sarcastically as I roll my eyes.
