I Finally Found You (1)

26: A Night at the Charmings'

(Killian's POV)
Emma, her parents and I all walk into their apartment. When we enter, Snow places Neal down in his crib. "I'm going to head off to bed," Snow says.

"I'll come with you," David says. Then he faces me. "I better not catch you in my daughter's room, you hear me? You're sleeping on the couch, end of discussion."

"We get it, Dad," Emma hisses at her father.

"Just making sure," David says. Then he and Snow head to their bedroom.

"I'm sorry about my dad, he likes to give you a hard time," Emma says.

"It's alright, love. He's just being protective of you," I say to her.

"Here, let me help you get the couch set up," Emma says. Before I can even argue, Emma walks down the hall, to find something for the couch I presume.

She comes back with a blanket and a pillow in her arms. "This is all I could find," she says.

"It's perfect, love" I say. She smiles. We walk into the living room and Emma and I set up the couch.

"There, all done," she says and turns to me. "Unfortunately, I don't have any clothes for you."

"That's alright, I'll just sleep in what I have now. Minus the leather and jeans," I say.

"Ok, well it looks like my work is done," Emma says. She walks up to me.

"Good night Killian," she whispers before she gives me a passionate yet quick kiss.

"Good night," I whisper and she walks towards the stairs, leading up to her bedroom. Leaving me standing alone in the living room with nothing but my thoughts.

I take off my leather jacket and my jeans and lay them beside the couch. Leaving me in my black t-shirt and my undergarments. I lay down on the couch and wrap the blanket that Emma gave me around myself. I slowly close my eyes and drift off to sleep...

3 hours later...

I wake up to the sound of a scream, not a loud scream but loud enough for me to hear it. "Bloody hell," I mumble. I hear another scream. I sit up on the couch. David and Snow come out of their bedroom. "What's going on?" I ask them.

"It's Emma," and that's all David needed to say. I get up off of the couch and dash up the stairs, followed by David and Snow. I open the door to her room to see her tossing and turning in her bed. She must be having a nightmare.

"No! I don't want this! Stop!" Emma screams in her sleep. I walk over to her.

"Swan," I say. I sit on the bed. "Swan, wake up, it's okay." I try soothing her, slowly rubbing her back in an attempt to awaken her.

She still struggles back and forth in her bed. "No! Please, just let me go!" Emma screams.

"Emma, wake up," I say louder. "Just wake up."

Soon Emma's eyes burst open and she sits upright in her bed, panting and sweating. She looks at me. "Killian," she says and quickly wraps her arms around me.

"It's okay, swan. It was just a dream," I say while wrapping my arms around her. I notice that she's slightly shaking.

"Emma, are you okay?" Her mother approaches us, followed by David. Emma slowly releases me and looks at her parents, she lets out a breath of relief.
