Unexpected love

Chapter Seven: Snow Storms

Emma's POV

Its been nearly a week since mine and Killian's date and he still comes into the bakery everyday. Mary Margaret is convinced that we are the cutest couple she's ever seen. I blush every time she talks about it.

"Henry, do you mind coming to the bakery and helping out today? Its getting busier as its less than two weeks to Christmas." I say asking Henry who was staring at the TV. "Sure mom. I'll go get my shoes on." Henry says turning off the TV and standing up. "Thanks kid." I reply and walk to get my coat on. I check my phone and Killian had texted me.

"Hey love. Hope your working today. I need to call in and get some Christmas goodies from the bakery for the studios Christmas party next week. See you soon! xx"

He knows what days I work now. He's such a goof. I smiled like silly looking at the text over and over again. "Mom? You ready to go?" Henry says waiting patiently at the door wrapping his scarf around his neck. "Sure. You go on into the car I'll be one minute." I said handing him the car keys. He walks out the door and I quickly replied to Killian's text.

"You know I'm working today silly. I'll see you there! I have Henry with me today too. Maybe you can both finally meet xx"

I put my phone in my pocket and ran out the door. I locked the door quickly and got into the car. "Ready to go kid?" I asked Henry who was looking at his phone. "Yeah. I'm ready." He replied. "Can you get your seat belt on then." I said laughing. "Oh right sorry." He says finally looking up from his phone. He quickly belted himself in and I started the car and turned on the heating as it was freezing outside.

We shortly arrived at the bakery and Mary Margaret was already in. Henry ran out of the car and into the bakery quickly while I locked the car and walked slowly behind him. When we got in I took off my coat and hung it up. "Hey Mary Margaret." Henry says walking up to the hanger to take off his coat. "Hey you two! How are you both?" Mary Margaret sagd with the biggest smile I had ever seen in her face. "Woah, why are you so happy?" I said curiously."Me and David found out some pretty big news last night. I'm pregnant!" Mary Margaret says smiling even more. "Really! Congrats! How does Neal feel about it?" I said hugging her. "He is so happy. He said he's wanted a sibling since he was young to have someone to play with. He's a bit older now but I think he will still be amazing with a sibling." Mary Margaret says as Henry hugs her. "Come on. We better get opened or we will end up gossiping all day." I said giggling.

A few hours after opening Killian still hasn't called in. I was getting down about it as I really wanted him to come in to meet Henry. "Henry, will you go into the pantry and take out the mince pies we just made?" I ask Henry who looked like he was starting to get bored. "Sure mom." He replied standing up and walking towards the pantry. "You look bothered Emma." Mary Margaret says to me. "I am. Killian said he was going to call in today and I want him to meet Henry. But its two hours till closing time and he still hasn't shown up. I just hope he isn't going to let me down." I explained to her. "He will show up. He's never let you down before and I don't thinks he's going to anytime soon." She says smiling at me. "I hope so." I say as Henry walks in with the tray of mince pies. "Thanks kid." I say taking it off him. We begin to place them in the display cabinets and then start to take away some of the other things off display to start packing up early.

Two hours later and Killian still hadn't shown up. Me, Henry and Mary Margaret started clearing up when I looked outside and saw someone leaning against my car with a bunch of red roses in their hand. "Is that?" I began. Mary Margaret nuged me and I turned around and looked at her. "You both go. I can clear the rest myself." She explains to me. "Are you sure?" I asked her. "Yes now go!" She laughs. I hug her and me and Henry get our coats in and I walk outside.

"Look who finally showed up." I said hugging him. "Sorry, I got caught up in work. But here I am." Killian days smiling at me. "I hope these make up for it." He said handing me the bunch of red roses he had in his hand. "They do. Thank you so much." I said kissing his cheek. At the same moment Henry walked out of the bakery and smiled at me. "Oh Henry, this is Killian. Killian this is my son Henry." I said introducing them to each other. "Finally nice to meet you lad. Your mother has told me lots about you." Killian said smiling st Henry. "Its nice to meet you too Killian. My mom talks lots about you." Henry says laughing. "Does she now?" Killian says smirking at me. "Now now. How about we go out for dinner or something?" Killian asks us both. "Umm. How about you come over to ours for dinner? If you don't mind." I asked him. "Of course love. I wouldn't want to spend my night any other way." Killian replies smirking at me. I unlock the car and we all get inside.

Killian's POV

We arrived at Emma's house and she led me inside. We all sat down in the living room. "So, Killian. How was that?" Emma asks me. "How was what love?" I replied. "Meeting Henry. I know it must seem awkward but Henry was pleased when I told him about me going out with you. Because I hadn't been out with anyone since Neal." Emma explained to me. "It was nice. He seems like a great kid." I said holding her hand. "Yeah. He's an easy go with the flo kind of person. He didn't know his father well enough to grieve like I do. But of course he still remembers." Emma said smiling at the fact I was holding her hand.

"Come into the kitchen and I'll get dinner started." Emma said standing up. Still holding her hand me and Emma walked into her enormous kitchen and she whipped out her phone. "I thought you were cooking dinner love." I said laughing. "I know. But I forgot that I needed to go shopping so whoops." She said giggling. We ordered pizza and sat down at the kitchen island to wait. Half an hour later the doorbell went and Emma ran to answer it. She came back in with the pizza and set it down in the table. Henry ran down and smiled at me and we all began to eat.

All of a sudden it started to snow very heavily. "Awwk no way. I hate winter so much! Its snow storming." Emma says with a hint of distress in her tone. "Its okay." I said laughing at her. "How are you going to get home? No cars are going to be able to drive through that snow!" Emma said panicked. "Emma. Its fine. I can walk home it's not that big of a deal." I said still laughing that Emma was so concerned.

"Well this is a four bedroom house mom. We have a guest bedroom he can stay in?" Henry says reminding Emma. "Yes. You can stay here tonight. I don't mind Killian seriously." Emma said smiling at me. "No I couldn't. I can just stay here without any notice." I explained to her."Killian! Seriously I don't mind and its freezing outside! I refuse to let you outside during that storm." Emma insists. "Fine, I guess I have no choice?" I said smiling. "Nope. Your not leaving or your going to catch a cold and get sick." Emma said smiling even more.

|I'm back! Sorry for such then long hold up but I'm back and hopefully for good now.
