I Finally Found You (1)

24: After It Happened

(Emma's POV)
I kissed Killian, for what felt like the last time. And then....it happened.

A sudden wave of magic, that felt like a strong burst of wind, was released. A feeling that I've only ever felt twice in my life, once up close. Could it be? I stare intensely down at Killian's eyes, practically begging for them to open, hoping that what I thought was true.

Then a voice was heard, "I don't think it worked, swan. Maybe you should try kissing me again." I know that voice and I know who it belongs to, and I smile widely. Killian smirks as he opens his ocean-blue eyes and our eyes meet. Tears of joy filling my eyes. "Miss me?" he says. My smile grows bigger.

"Maybe a little," I say with a smirk of my own. He smiles. I tuck my head into the crook of his neck and he wraps one arm around me while he uses his other arm to push himself into a sitting position. He kisses my head. I lean back and look into his eyes while caressing his cheek with my hand.

"I love you too," Killian says. I gasp. "While I was knocked out, I was surrounded by darkness. But then I heard a voice. Your voice, Swan. I heard you and then the next thing I know I woke up, my memories returned."

I smile as wide as I possibly can. He loves me. Killian Jones loves me back. I lean in and we kiss. I wrap my arms around his neck and he wraps his arms around my back. I pull back to breathe and we lean our foreheads onto one another's.

Then, realization struck me and my eyes widen as I pull back. "Swan, what is it?" he asks.

"Henry, my parents, Regina, Robin...do you think that everyone else remembers too?" I ask with pleading eyes, even though I knew he couldn't provide me with an answer.

"Let's find out," Killian says. He stands up and extends his hand. I grab it and he pulls me up. "I'll grab the babe." he walks into the bedroom. He comes out moments later with Neal asleep in his car seat, and we leave the apartment.

The first place we go is down to the docks. Where we left Henry. We arrive and look around, until finally, I see my son and he looks at me with a smile. "Henry?" I ask, hoping that he remembers me.

"Mom!" he says and comes running over to me. I smile and I envelop him into a big hug.

"You remember me," I say, relieved. Happiness and relief fill my heart and I feel like crying, tears of joy, that is.

"Yeah, I do," he says. I pull back and place both hands on his shoulders.

"Glad to have you back, kid," I say. "Come on, let's go see if your grandparents remember too."

"Okay," he says and smiles. I wrap my arm around my son and hold hands with Killian as we walk down the street, towards my parents' place.

We walk over to the apartment building and walk up the stairs. We reach the door and I walk up to it. I raise my hand to knock but hesitate. I'm too nervous. What if they can't remember?

"It's alright, swan. You can do it," Killian says. I look back at him and he simply nods his head with a smile. I smile back.
I take a few deep breaths before I knock on the door. I nervously wait until the door opens to reveal my father.

"Hi...I don't know if you can remember me....but my name is--" I say.

"Emma," David says.
"Dad? You remember?" I ask with a smile. A sense of deja vu fills me but I ignore it, too happy to care. He nods and smiles back. He then hugs me and places his hand on the back of my head, like he always does when he hugs me. I release a breath I was holding in and I hug back.

I pull back and ask, "Where's mom?"

"She's in here," David says and opens the door wider to let us in. "Snow come down here!" he calls out.
