Unexpected love

Chapter Eleven: Christmas Celebrations

This is a really long chapter!! I'll explain why at the end....

Emma's POV

Finally it was Christmas eve. I had all of Henry's presents wrapped and placed under the Christmas tree in our house. Killian and Liam had spent the last 3 days in florida and were coming back today. On Christmas eve me and Henry usually sit in all day and watch Christmas movies and have snacks. It had been heavily snowing in New York for what felt like weeks on end. It went past your ankles whenever you went out at nights.

"What movie do you want to watch Henry?" I asked as he sat beside me and I threw some blankets over me and him. "How about Elf? Its my favorite one from my childhood?" He asks. "Of course!" I said going on Netflix and clicking on Elf. We sat and watched it when I got a text from Killian.

"We are back in NYC!! Hopefully me and Liam will call to see you both tomorrow? Have an amazing Christmas love."

I smiled. I looked over at Henry and smiled even more. "Henry I'll be back in a minute I have to make a phone call." I said standing up. He nods not taking his eyes off the TV. I pulled out my phone and went into my contacts. I clicked on Killian's name and went into the kitchen.

"Hello?"

"Hey Killian! Its me Emma. How was Florida?"

"Hello love. Florida was amazing! I missed you but."

"Now now. How about you and Liam come over tomorrow? For Christmas dinner and present giving?"

"If you don't mind us too? We were planning on popping over anyways tomorrow to give you both your presents."

"Awwk there's no need for presents! we just need to see each other again! Feels like forever since I seen you."

"I shall see you and Henry tomorrow then love."

"I'll see you and Liam tomorrow. Goodbye Killian."

"Goodbye love."

I hung up and went back into the living room to see Henry still watching Elf. I sat beside him and he placed his head on my shoulder. "Whoa kid, your burning up! Are you okay?" i said and felt his head. "My head hurts a little. Well a lot." he mumbles. "Henry, kid I think you should go to bed for the night. Hopefully you will feel better in the morning." I said standing up. I walked him up to his room and made sure he was alright. He got into bed and I tucked him in. "Goodnight Henry." I said kissing his head. My lips felt like they are on fire when they touched his forehead. I turned off the light and closed the door.

When I walked downstairs the doorbell went. I was sort of confused but I walked up to the door and opened it. "Hey Emma!" standing in front of me was my adopted sister Lily. "Lily! What are you doing here? I thought you moved to Britain to study law?!" I said hugging her. "Well I decided to go back to Boston to visit my little sister but found out you had left and moved to NYC so, well I'm here!" she said smiling at me. "Come in! Please I insist." I said opening the door wider. She smiled even more and stepped inside.

"Its freezing outside! Do you want a tea or a coffee?" I asked her as I took her coat out of her hands. "Umm, a coffee if you don't mind." she says sitting down at the kitchen island. I made us both a coffee and I brought her into the living room. We had a big catch up and she told me about her job over in England. i told her about Henry and Neal. When she left for England I had only met Neal. I also had to tell her about the miscarriage and Neal's death. She was always the best at comforting me.
