My Captain

Home Again

*Killian's POV *

I was beat to hell, knowing I couldn't fight back without killing that man and having to just try to block his punches. The moment I looked up and saw her standing there horrified, my heart dropped. He got off of me, walking towards her as fear grew in her eyes and her hand went to her stomach. Next thing I knew I'd tackled him, screaming at him as the guards came to and chained him back up.

I picked Emma up off the ground gently and got back in the carriage. I held her in my lap, rubbing her back softly.

"Are you alright, love?" I ask quietly, lifting her chin and finding her eyes full of tears.

"Are you?" She said simply, wiping blood off my face and keeping her hand on my cheek.

All I could do was press my lips to hers as she wrapped her arms around my neck and moved closer to me. I tighten my arms around her, holding her tight to me no matter how much it hurt my body.

I finally convinced Emma to go back to sleep after much protest and having to calm her with kisses until she fell asleep in the crook of my neck. I didn't dare doze off again myself, however, far too anxious and just needing to watch over her, keep her safe as she slept.

*Emma's POV *

I woke with a start as the carriage jerked to a stop and Killian's arms tightened around me. The sun was just starting to rise and I groaned at the light, trying to hide from it in his neck.

"Come on, love," he said quietly, rubbing my back gently and kissing my forehead. "Let's get you up to bed where you'll be more comfortable."

"I'm perfectly comfortable in your arms," I protest but get up anyway. He stumbled as he got out of the carriage and I could see the pain on his face, immediately wrapping my arms around his waist and helping him. "Don't even try to argue with me," I said before he could say anything.

He sighed, wrapping his arm around me in return as I helped him inside to our bedroom. I sat him on the bed and he leaned back on the headboard as I went to get some first aid things and a damp cloth. I sat next to him and started dabbing the cuts on his knuckles.

"Nope," he said, smirking as he pulled me into his lap and I ended up straddling his waist. "Now that's much better."

I smiled a little, shaking my head at him as I leaned closer to wipe blood off his face. He had his hands on my hips, running them up and down my outer thighs and watching me intently as I bit my lip and focused on cleaning him up. I felt his eyes staring into mine even as I worked, his hand sliding up my side and untying my dress.

"Killian," I said softly, stopping and just looking in his eyes. "What are you doing? I need to clean you up."

"You have blood on your dress," he whispered, pulling my dress off my shoulders and pushing it down as his hands slid down my sides. His eyes never moved from mine as he left me bare from my hips up. "You're so beautiful..."

I blushed, looking down. He lifted my chin, meeting my eyes for a moment before pressing his lips to mine softly. I sighed, putting my hands on his chest and kissing him back gently. He sat up, pulling me flush against him as he deepened the kiss slowly and ran his hands over my skin.

"Killian..." I whisper against his lips as he kissed down my neck and chest softly. "You need to rest... you're hurt..."

He sighed, kissing me again softly before leaning his forehead on mine and just running his hands over my sides.

"Are you sure you're alright?" He asked, running one hand to my stomach. "I can't believe he touched you..."

"I'm okay," I put my hand on his, studying his face and running my fingers through his hair as he looked at my stomach. "We're all okay."

He nodded, running his thumb over my stomach as he looked back up at me. He had such worry in his eyes it broke my heart. I put my hand on his cheek and kissed him again softly a few times.

"Now sleep, okay?" I say softly. "I'll still be here when you wake up..."

"Can I just keep you like this?" He sighed, holding me to his chest. "I'll sleep as long I have you here in my arms..."

I smile softly, kissing him one more time before just leaning on his chest as I was and turning my face into his neck. His arms tightened around me and I felt him breathe out with relief as he buried his face in my hair.

*Killian's POV *

Emma fell asleep exactly as she was, straddling my waist with her arms around me and her face in my neck. All I could do was bury my face in her hair and run my hands over her bare skin.

I knew I wouldn't sleep well but I told her I'd try, so I closed my eyes and relaxed against the headboard. Emma was so small my arms wrapped around her till my hands rested on her stomach as I fell asleep.

*Snow's POV*

I saw the carriage pull up, watching Emma help Killian into the castle. I'd heard about what happened, so I went to check on them a few minutes later.

I walked quietly into their room, just sticking my head in the door. They were asleep half sitting up against the wall, completely wrapped around each other with his hands on her stomach. I smiled a bit, quietly leaving them to each other.

*Emma's POV *

I woke up to the feeling of the sun on my back and the sound of Killian snoring softly in my ear. I smiled, holding him tighter and snuggling into his neck with a content sigh. I felt him stir, running his hands over my back as he mumbled my name.

"Shh," I whisper, rubbing his chest gently. "I'm right here. Just sleep."

"You're safe..?" He whispered, still mostly asleep.

"Yes, Killian," I smile, kissing his neck softly. "I'm right here, safe in your arms."

"You're safe..." he sighed as he relaxed again, running his hand over my stomach. "Both safe..."

"Both safe," I assure him, putting my hand on his. "Safe at home again with you..."

Okay, I know it has been forever! But I'm working on updating more, I promise! (Side note: college kills) Please let me know what you think and if there's anything you'd like to see! I'm kind of stuck...
