Killian was finally getting released from the hospital. It felt like he had been there forever, which, three months is quite a long time.
"Swan, you don't have to pack my bags for me. I am perfectly fine to do that." Killian was sitting on the bed as Emma ran around excitedly gathering his belongings. He had gotten dressed earlier.
"No, no it's fine. I got it." With a closer look, he saw she was as stressed as she was excited.
"Emma... What's wrong?" She shrugged as she walked and he grabbed her arm and spun her around to him.
"The tears in your eyes beg to differ." She looked away but Killian quickly put his fingers under her chin.
"I... I'm just worried. That my parents won't forgive me. I said some very harsh things to them, Killian. My judgement was clouded and I may have just messed up get another relationship that I valued." He looked at her with sadness in his eyes.
"Emma, they are your parents. They will always love you and always forgive you. They will be more than happy to have you back." He kissed her forehead and pulled her into a wall embrace.
"But what will I do if they don't accept me? I can't live without them. I realized that." Just then a voice came from the doorway that neither of them had expected.
"They will." Emma spun around to see her parents with tears in their eyes in the doorway. She ran to them and hugged them tightly, letting her sobs out. "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean any of it." Her parents shushed her as she hugged them tightly, never wanting to let go.
"We know Emma, it's okay." She pulled back and David wiped away her tears.
"We forgive you." Emma walked back to Killian. They awkwardly looked at Killian.
"Ho- Killian... I never meant for any of that to happen. Seeing my daughter without you made me realize how much you guys can't live without each other... And I give you my blessing." The words weren't struggled at all. He truly did give them his blessing. Emma smiled and kissed Killian quickly on the cheek. David stuck out his hand.
"Truce?" Killian shook his head. David looked shocked, right before Killian hugged him. Emma and Snow started laughing as David gritted his teeth and hesitantly hugged back.
"So, Granny's anyone?" Killian would go anywhere and do anything to be out of that bloody hospital.  They all smiled and nodded.  Emma carried Killian's bag despite his many protests.  She just wanted to carry something that was his. She still couldn't believe that he was back. The whole walk to Granny's Emma wouldn't let him go. With every second, her body was against his.  They walked in front of her parents, Snow smiling the whole time as she saw that she now had her daughter back.  At Granny's they all laughed and talked the whole time like a genuine family, which they were.  Killian had been accepted, and everyone was glad because of it.  Most people who saw him stopped and welcomed him back, he was gracious, but he wanted to forget about that whole incident. It hurt him to imagine how Emma felt while he was gone. She had not said anything, but he felt that it was bad. In Granny's he wouldn't remove his hand from her stomach. She placed her hand over his and all the sudden there was a tiny flutter.  He looked at Emma with wide eyes and she smiled.
"That was the baby." He practically bounced up and down, he would never get used to it.
"Emma, I still can't believe that it is ours." Emma was so happy that she had tears in her eyes.  She kissed him while Snow approvingly looked upon the couple, also with tears in her eyes.  Even David smiled.  The couples finished their lunch and went their separate ways.

[Short chapter but I have an idea for the next one.  Sorry it took so long to update, I didn't realize how long it had been!]
