Emma's POV:
Henry and Cobra leaped over the next jump. Then he rode back to me.
Emma: "Nice!"
Henry: "Thanks, I finally nailed that corse"
Emma: "You did amazing, and so did Cobra"
He smiled and gave Cobra a small pat. Then he dismounted.
Henry: "I'm think I'm done for today"
Emma: "Ok, go put Cobra in his stall, I'll meet you back at the castle"
Henry: "Ok, go to the library"
We headed our separate ways.
A lot has changed, it's only been 4 months but it feels like it's been forever. Robin and Regina had built their castle, they live with Roland. It's not too far away so we visit them from time to time. I passed by the guards and entered the castle. I opened the door to the library, no one was in here. I put fresh wood in the fireplace and sat on one of the chairs. I let my thoughts fill me as they slipped me away.
Killian had left 4 months ago, his crew invited him on a trip to a small island were Smee used to live. Killian was still sort of their captain, they didn't want to replace him. Even though I was happy he got to go out on the sea again, I missed him. Every. Single. Day.
Belle and I were trying to guess who would have their baby first, since Belle is one month ahead of me I doubt I'll win. But it wasn't a real bet, it was just for fun. It was also a way to pass the time because as we became more pregnant, everyone else stopped letting us do so much around the castle. They treated me like I was injured. I know they are doing it because they care so it doesn't bother me that much.
Suddenly the door opened and Henry stepped in.
Henry: "Cobra was being a bit difficult, sorry"
Emma: "He wanted to ride some more?"
Henry: "Yup...he's a good horse but once he starts riding, you can't stop him"
Emma: "That's a good thing?"
Henry: "In certain situations"
He sat on one of the chairs beside me. We were quiet for a while, but not like one of those awkward silences.
Henry: "You're bored...I can tell"
Emma: "Yeah, sometimes"
Henry: "Too bad you can't ride"
Emma: "Yeah I can't risk falling"
Henry: "It's ok, I understand"
He stared at me for a while.
Henry: "I'm sure Killian will be back soon"
Emma: "Ya, hopefully before the baby is born"
Henry: "He will"
Emma: "I know, it's just a joke"
Killian never said when he'd be back, so part of me did believe that he could be back at anytime. From seconds away to years away. I really want him to be here, I don't think I'll be able to do it without him.
We stayed and enjoyed the fire until it was time to go to bed. The days went by fast, I barely remember anything that happened in the last week. I changed and climbed into bed. I covered myself with the blanket. I layer in bed until I could no longer keep my eyes open.
Killian's POV:
I patted Smee on his back and left to the captains cabin. I sat down at my desk. There were so many memories here. Most were bad, but I was a villain. Despite the crew that I sailed with, I still felt lonely. Suddenly I heard my crew members cheering. Then Smee came running into my room.
Smee: "Captain!...We have arrived"
We all got off the boat and headed for the house that was in the centre of the island. It was a small house, but it was where Smee used to live.
Smee: "It feels good to be home"
Killian: "Aye"
We went inside the small house. It wasn't really a house because it was only one room. We all stayed and enjoyed our time there. Smee entertained us with stories of his life when he was a child.
Smee: "Then my brother and mother cooked dinner"
I smiled at him. His family sounded like simple people. His family. My family. I started to think of Emma and Henry, and our child. I decided to send Emma a letter. So I took out a piece of paper and grabbed a pen. I quickly wrote the letter:
We found Smee's home. I'm sorry about the long wait but I will be home in about 2 months. I can't wait to see you again
-Killian
I folded it up, grabbed string and tied it. Then I went outside and signalled a bird. It took a while because it was dark out but I finally got ones attention. I tied the letter to the birds leg and directed it to Emma. Then I watched as the bird flew up into the night.
First chapter of the second book, YAY!
