The Day We Met (Captain Swan)

Chapter 23

{Writer's POV}
Present

It's been a few days since Liam's death, two days to be exact. And Killian doesn't dare place a foot on his and Liam's ship. He knows he will fall apart, and that can't happen. No one should see him cry, it's already bad enough that he actually cried the day Liam died at night and Emma had to confort him even though she cied too.
It's been hard on everyone too, not just Killian. Snow and David lost someone they really trusted, Emma lost one of her best friends, his crew lost the best captain they could ask for, his king lost the person who always helped him, his friends lost an amazing friend, and Killian lost his family.
Liam had a lot of people who loved him and they all feel bad about his death. But they got to 2move on, unfortunately for Killian it's way to hard. Yes, he lost his mother before he even got the chance to meet her, yes, his father abandoned him and his forever brother when he was only 6 years old. But nothing of that compared to the pain he felt right now, the pain of having one of the closests persons away... Far, far away.

Emma has been there for him every second, and she is happy she can help him and that her efforts in lighting him up at least a little aren't in vain. Yes, he is debastated, but little by little he is getting better. Not good, but better.
Emma's parents have helped a lot, talking about things he likes and giving him his own personal space and time.
Everyone has been amazing to Killian, they all know that Liam was much more than a brother to him so they don't dare to say that it's ridiculous that he is this emotionally bad because they know that it isn't true. He has actually been really strong about it, but that's why he doesnt want to go to his ship, he knows that all his efforts in putting a strong and brave face for everyone will go out the window.

As usual Killian woke up before Emma, and he loved it.
He loved watching her sleep because she was at ease, no worries and no problems haunting her. Just that slight smile that was always on her face when she slept. Killian held her closer than he already was and she snuggled up to him, lazily placing her arms around him.
"Hi" she said lowly but with a smile, making Killian smile. He was actually smiling lately, Emma made him smile all the time and he was happy about it.
"Hello, love. How did you sleep?" He asks already knowing what her answer was going to be.
"Like a baby. And you? Did you actually sleep?" She asks, concern evident in her voice.
He nods before answering. "Yes, I did sleep actually. I slept a good amount of time" He adds and Emma smiles. "Good. I'm starving"
He chuckles. "Oh, you're starving? How strange" He says, his voice dripping with sarcasm as he smiles.
She laughs and hits his arm playfully. "Mmm, very funny!" She says and rolls her eyes. He smiles and kisses her as he holds her tightly. She also tightens her grip around him as they kiss.
"Let's go for breakfast before my princess dies of hunger" Killian says and Emma giggles and kisses his cheek.
He gets out of bed and helps her before they both put their robes over their pajamas and walk downstairs to the dining room, and as usual Emma's parents were already there with smiles on their faces as they came in.
"Goodmorning" David said. "Goodmorning, Dad" Emma smiled.

They had a great family time in which Killian actually enjoyed spending time with everyone.
After breakfast Emma and Killian got ready to start the day. Once they were ready Killian said something that catched Emma's attention.
"Swan, I think I should go to the ship"
"What? Are you sure you want this, Killian?" Emma asked. Killian nodded without doubt and Emma nodded too.
"Alright, but I'm coming with you, okay?" She added and Killian hesitated.
"Well, is not that I don't want you to come, but are you sure?" He asks a little concerned that this may affect Emma in some way but she nodded certain in what she wanted.
"I do, Killian. Besides, I want to go with you"
"Alright then, let's go" he said taking her hand.

Emma told her parents where they were going and they agreed. The couple took a carriage to the ship.
Once they got there, Killian and Emma laced fingers and held each other's hand tightly. Killian exhaled heavily as they got in the ship, everyone greeted him and they were having a hard time without their captain, you could tell by how everyone tried to smile when Killian and Emma came in but failed miserably.
They both went downstairs towards the captain's quarters. Emma held Killian's arm tightly before he wrapped it around her waist,holding her close as they both tried not to let the tears threatening to fall down their eyes fall.
Killian noticed a drawing of him and Liam on a table in his room. Killian grabbed it and there was no doubt...
"I need to take revenge" He said firmly.
