Be My Anchor

1. Life Changing Decisions

Emma's POV

I told you a story. I told you the story of how I fell in love. That was one year ago today, but I guess I got you all caught up.

I stand before the love of my life, as he's down on one knee. "I... Yes!" I smile. He stands up and pulls me in for a passionate kiss. I pull back and smile. He takes my hand and slides the gorgeous diamond ring onto my finger. The ring has vines crawling around the band. The vines are made up if diamonds. It has one big diamond in the center. "It's beautiful, Killian." I look up at him.

"Not as beautiful as you." He kisses me again.

"Where on Earth did you get it?"

"Remember Clara Hide?" He smirks. "She's a jewelry designer."

"What?" I ask in unbelief. "Oh, Killian I am so so sor-"

"No need to apologize, love" He chuckles. "I'm just glad that I know that we will never leave each other." He smiles and leans closer to my face. I giggle and pull his lips down to mine. "I love you, soon to be Mrs. Jones." I smile.

"I love you, Mr. Jones." He takes my hand and interlaces our fingers. We walk along the beach. The breeze blows through my hair making me feel more happy than I already am. It feels like a million little needles gently touching you. It makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end. It ripples the water as we walk bye. I lay my head on his shoulder as we stare out across the water.

"Ready to get home?" He asks sweetly.

"Yeah, I miss Delia." I smile.

"Me too." He kisses my head and we walk back to the car. I hop in and Killian does the same.

As he drives a stare at the beautiful ring. "Do you like it, Swan?" He glances over at me.

"It's stunning." I say in awe. "Seriously, I couldn't have ever imagined how perfect this night was." I look at him. He smiles. "How long were you planning this?"

"Well, the ring was the first thing that I got, well Clara had to make it first. I think the ring took three months to make."

"Wow," I look back at it.

"The reservation wasn't hard at all since I know the owner. The hardest part was coming up with something." He looks at me as we pull up to Regina and Robin's place. We get out of the car and knock on the door. I can hear Delia's crying form outside the house. Regina opens the door with our crying daughter. I take Delia and she stops crying.

"Wow, you need to teach me that trick." She sighs. "Oh my god!" She yells.

"What?" I ask.

"Don't pretend I don't see that bling." She points to my ring. "Congratulations!" She huge me, and Killian.

"What's all the excitement?" Robin asks walking to the door.

"Killian purposed to Emma." Regina says inspecting the ring.

"Really? Congratulations!" He pats Killian on the back. "About time." I laugh.

"When the wedding?" She lets go of my hand.

"Regina, we got engaged like an hour ago." I laugh.

"Just wondering, but we have to do engagement photos." She walks into the house. We follow.

"Do we have too?" I whine.

"Shut up, I'm doing this wether you like it or not." She walks to her calender. I roll my eyes. Killian wraps his arm around my waist. Delia starts to squirm.

"I'll take her, love." Killian Holds out his arms. He takes her and holds her close to his chest since, he only has one hand.

"How does Sunday sound?" She turns to me.

"Yeah, sure." I turn to Killian. "Do we have anything going on, on Sunday?" I ask him.

"Not that I can remember."

"Alright sounds great." Regina smiles. "Where do you want to do it?" She asks.

"You're the professional photographer, you can pick." I smile.

"Yay!" I laugh.

"Delia is tired, I think we should get going." Killian says.

"Alright, thanks Regina." I hug her and Robin and grab all of Delia's stuff. "Thank you so much for watching her." I say sincerely.

"It was no trouble. If you ever need someone to watch her again, we would be more than happy too." She smiles happily.

"Thank you so much." I smile and walk to the car with Killian.

We get home around nine o'clock. Delia is knocked out cold. Killian places her in her crib. I lean against the doorway and smile at him. He kisses her head and walks over to me. He puts his hand on my hip and pushes me against the wall. He picks me up. I immediately wrap my legs around his waist. His lips crash to mine. I smile . He pulls away from the wall and walks to our room. He kicks the door closed with his foot. "I love you, Swan."

"I love you too."
