There Is No Time In London, Swan

Chapter 8

Emma's POV

"Did you call the hospital?" I ask Neal as I help Killian into the backseat.
"Yeah I told them to keep a room open, and that we are on our way."
"Ok good." I rush to the hospital and the only sound in the car is mixed sounds of Killian groaning and telling me not to speed. Dang, even when he is in severe pain he is still a backseat driver. But honestly, I was speeding. I want to make sure, we get him there in time because if he dies and it's my fault I will never be able to live with myself.

We arrive at the hospital and they already have a stretcher ready. Me and Neal wait in the Lobby for about 30 minutes then a familiar face walks up to me. It's Killian's mom.
"Mrs Jones! I am so sorry, I swear we were being really careful, and it just happened so fast." I say getting teary eyed.
"Emma don't worry, I know you were being careful." She says just before she hugs me. "The good news is that the doctor said he is going to be ok." She gives me a comforting smile. "Unfortunately I have to go to work but I told the doctor you could take him home."
I smile and say "Don't worry, I will make sure he rests."
"Ok see you later." She responds just before leaving.

We wait a little longer then I say "Neal, go back home, you don't have to wait around with me."
"No. You need support right now. I'm staying."
"Neal, please, I feel bad that you are just siting here, not having a good time."
"Ok fine, I will see you later." He says then he gives me a hug. But it's not really quick. He hugs me extra tight. Then he leaves and I wait a little longer.

Finally the nurse comes and gets me.
"Can I come in?" I asked peaking in the door.
"Yes, come on in." Says the doctor. "So Killian broke a couple ribs when he fell. We are going to wrap his stomach in a bandage that is water resistant but for showers only, that means no swimming or any physical activity."
"Really, I'm fine Swan." Killian says.
"No your not, continue doctor." I respond
"So I would just get him home and make sure he doesn't do a lot. I will give you a wheelchair to use for a little bit, so he doesn't put too much weight on his ribs."
I smile and say "Ok send him out when you're done."

I wait in the lobby for about 10 minutes then a nurse wheels Killian out in a wheelchair. "Just make sure he gets some rest." she says just before leaving.
"You ready?" He asks.
"Yes, but I think we need to get some ice cream first." I say. He smiles back at me.

We drive about a mile from the hospital and then I turn into the ice cream place parking lot. I help Killian out of the car and back into the wheelchair then we go inside. I place Killian at a table then I go up to the counter and get 2 cookies and cream, double scoops, in cones. I bring them back to the table then Killian says "Why?"
"Why what?" I ask
"Why did you help me?"
"Because your my friend. I wouldn't just abandon you."
"I like you." He says
"I like you too, you are one of my best friends, even over my friends back home."
"No, I mean, really like you."
I suddenly realize what he's saying, then I respond "I guess I really like you too, I mean that was one heck of a kiss."
Then I see the biggest smile appear and his entire face lights up.

We drive back home and when we go through the foyer, I notice there is a note on the table. I pick it up and it reads:

Dear Emma,
I am sorry, but I moved my flight and your dad took me to the airport. I came here mainly because I regretted never telling you that I had feelings for you. I had planned on telling you this trip but I could clearly see you were in love with someone else. The only advice I can tell you is to tell him, tell him before it's too late. I know you say you are just fiends but I see the way he looks at you when your not looking. I just couldn't take you away from him.
Love, Neal

"What is it?" asks Killian.
"Neal left..."
"I'm sorry Emma."

We sit on the couch and watch a movie every once in a while I glance over and see his hand reach closer and closer to my end of the couch until finally our hands touch. We sit like that for a while then he says "I think I need to ice my other side." He holds up the frozen peas he has been holding against his left ribs. I help him up then he sits back down in a different position. We find our selves sitting literally right next to each other.
"Thanks." He says. I don't say anything back. Instead I lean in and we kiss. And kiss. And kiss. Then I break it off and I giggle. "What?" Killian asks "Did I do something wrong?"
"No it's just, I have been wanting to do that for a while now." I say with a giant grin. He smiles back and says "Shut up and kiss me."
