We Sailed Away

Making Our Way Back To New York

Emma's POV

Killian and I hop in the car to head back to New York.
We spent most of the day in Tallahassee. It takes roughly sixteen hours to get from Tallahassee to New York, so we'll be there hopefully if the traffic isn't to bad, by 7:00 a.m. tomorrow.
"Ready, love?" He takes my hand and looks at me.

"Yah, I kinda miss snow." I laugh.

"Me too." He starts the car, and we start our long drive back to the Big Apple.
We drive for a few hours, before darkness starts to ascend.
I look over at Killian who has his eyes focused on the road.
His eyes look even more electric blue in the moonlight.
I can see he's starting to fall asleep.

"Killian!" I shake his arm.

"What?" He asks coming back.

"You're tired. Let me drive." I say with a serious tone.

"No, no I'm fine."

"Killian Jones, let me drive." I say forcefully.

"Alright." He pulls over and gets out.
I get out of my side of the car and move to his.
I slide in on the drivers side, as he hops in on the passengers side.
He takes my hand. I look at him. he pulls me in for a kiss.
It's slow, but yet passionate.
I pull away, and lean our foreheads together.
"I love you!" He says softly.

"I love you too!" I whisper in his ear.
He gives me a quick peck. I start driving again.

Killian's POV

"I love you too!" She whispers in my ear. I give her one more quick kiss.
I lean my head back as she starts driving.
I look over at her. My beautiful Swan!
My eyes become heavy as I try to stay awake, to watch my Swan. Sleep wins, and I fall into a dream-filled sleep.

-

I awake to someone shaking my arm.
"Killian." A woman says with a soft voice.
I open my eyes and see my beautiful Swan.
"Come on sleepy head." She smiles.
I sit up and rub my eyes.
"How did you sleep?" She asks sweetly.

"Good." I open my eyes. "Wait, did you drive all night?" I ask turning towards her.

"Yeah." She tilts her head in confusion.

"I was going to let you sleep." I hit my head.

"Hey, don't hit yourself." She grabs my arm. "I don't mind, really." She slips her hand under my chin to make me look at her.
"Seriously, Killian. I don't mind driving." She gives me a weak smile.

"I just wanted to let you sleep." I say moving closer to her.

"I know." She kisses me before getting out of the car.
I follow her in, we leave all the bags in the car, because we're to tired to care. Well she is.
We enter our apartment and breath in the familiar air.
"I never realized how much I missed this place." She says walking to our bedroom. I follow her. She falls onto the bed and curls up next to my pillow.
I hop on the bed next to her.
"I'm trying to sleep here." She says with her eyes still closed.

"Sorry,"I kiss her head and wrap my arms around her. "Go to sleep, love. I'll be here when you wake." I whisper, and with that she falls asleep in my arms.
I lie there for what seems like hours, just watching my beautiful Swan.
I get up slowly trying not to wake her. I walk out of the room and shut the door. I take my phone out of my jacket pocket, and call Mary and David.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Mary. It's Killian"

"Oh, hey Killian. Is something wrong?"

"No, no nothing is wrong. I just called to let you know that Emma and I are back in New York."

"YAY! That's amazing! Can't wait to see you guys!"

"Yeah, can't wait to see you either."

"Will you be home tonight?"

"Yeah, come on over. Just not now, because Emma is sleeping."

"Okay, no problem. See you tonight."

"Bye."

"Bye."

I hang up and, walk back to me and Emma's room. I peak through the door.
She's still asleep, so I head back down to the car and bring all of our bags inside.
After I bring in all of our bags I crash on the couch, and turn on Netflix.
I flip through about everything. I finally find The Blacklist. I put it on.
I watch it for a few hours, until I decide to go check on Emma.
I get up and peak through the door. Still asleep.
Wow, she can sure sleep.
I laugh to myself and walk back to the couch.
I don't turn on the tv, just lay there and look at the ceiling, thinking.
What's Emma thinking about? Is she happy? Did she enjoy our trip?
I think she's happy. She's usually so easy for me to read, but lately, it's been really hard. And I think she enjoyed our trip. I know I did, and I know when I'm happy she's happy.
I hear a door open. I sit up and look at my sleepy Swan.
"How'd you sleep, love?" I ask walking over to her.

"Good." She kisses me.

"Oh, by the way, Mary and David are coming over later tonig-" before I can finish my sentence there is a knock on the door. "Or now." I roll me eyes.
She just laughs. I walk over to the door and open it.
Mary engulfs me with a huge bear hug.

"I've missed you two so much!" She says still hugging me.
She lets go and runs to Emma.
"How was your trip, Em? You have to tell me everything!" She says excitedly.

"I'm not sure everything would be a great idea." Emma laughs. Mary just rolls her eyes.

-

After we tell her everything, they say goodbye and leave. Emma takes my hand and leads to our room.
We change out of our clothes and put on pajamas. She puts on shorts and one of my t-shirts. I just keep my boxers on.
Emma cuddles up next to me.
"Are you happy?" I ask.

"Of course, I am." She lays her head on my chest. "Why would you ask?"

"I just wanted to make sure."

"I'm am the most happy I have ever been in my entire life." She admits.
I smile at her.

"Why did you chose me?"

"Because I love you." She sits up and looks at me.

"I love you too!" I sit up and pull her onto my lap. She laughs as she buries her head in the crock of my neck.
I lay down with her still on top of me. Our legs are intertwined. Her arms are around my neck and mine around her waist.
"Goodnight, Swan." I kiss her forehead, and fall asleep.
