Unexpected love

Chapter Fourty Seven: Secrets and Lies

Killian's POV

"Prison?!"

"Shh Killian."

"What why?"

"Killian I can't make it any more clearer! You have to be quiet. The boys are coming."

"No you need to tell me now!"

"I will when we get back home. Now be quiet and don't mention a thing to the boys."

I stared at her as she started the engine and the boys climbed into the car. The journey was silent and I was tense and angry the whole time. What did she mean out of prison? Emma never told me her adoptive parents got thrown into prison.

We pulled up at the house and the boys ran into the house. Lily got out of the car and I ran after her and dragged her into the garage.

"Lily you need to tell me now."

"Killian..."

"No, it's obviously something Emma doesn't want to bring up again because she's never told me. Now, if you tell me I'll just forget about it until you tell Emma yourself."

"Right okay."

"Okay"

"Well umm, me and Emma were in a few foster homes together until when we were 12 we were adopted together. At the start we thought this couple were going to be the ones that would keep us forever. But a few months after adoption me and Emma caught them taking drugs and drug dealing. They would get drunk mostly everyday and me and Emma were pulled back from school taking care of them when they were hungover. This led to all types of abuse on us when we did something wrong. Physical, emotional and mental. But Emma got it worse because she was the youngest. She had bruises all over her arms, legs and face and she had to start seeing a counsellor. But we would never ever ever at a word about it. It continued for four years. The social workers thought everything was fine but it wasn't. I wanted to but I couldn't say anything about what was going on. Until Emma ended up in hospital after he pushed her down the stairs."

"He?"

"Jack, our adoptive father."

"He pushed her?!"

"Yeah. She was in hospital for about a week. Broke her leg and spilt her chin open. Once she got back home I went straight to the police and reported them. They have been in jail for about 16 years. For abuse and drug dealing. And they just got out yesterday. I don't know how I'm going to tell Emma. It will make her crumble. She won't leave the house and she won't let Sophie leave either. I can't break her even more than she already is Killian."

"Don't worry we will find a way to keep it for a short while until we get things sorted. I just hope the police doesn't contact her before we can tell her."

"I told them not to, I said I would break the news. But I'm not so sure I can."

I couldn't explain the fear I was feeling. Emma is at risk, our family is at risk. Those ghastly humans will look for Emma and Lily and start their vendetta against them. My role as a husband, father and brother was starting to take affect on everything. I'll have to protect them all just so I can feel good about myself now.

"Come on we better get inside. Emma will be looking for us."

"Yeah, just promise you won't say anything to her Killian? I don't want to get her worked up. Especially after the funeral today."

"I promise. Come on, I'll get you a cup of coffee inside."

We walked in from the garage door and no one was downstairs. Lily sat in the living room as I ventured around the house to look for Emma.

I eventually found her in our room looking over Sophie who was sleeping in the co sleeper. I heard a few sniffles and I knocked the door lightly which made her wipe her eyes immediately and turn around.

"You alright love?"

"I've been asked that so many times this day. But yeah. I think so."

"If your tired you can go to sleep. It is late so I wouldn't be surprised if you need to get some shut eye."

"I want to, but I don't feel up to it."

"Well I'll be downstairs if you need me. I'm waiting until Lily goes to bed and then I'll come up to go to bed with you my love."

"Okay."

"I love you."

I pecked her cheek and walked out of the room and back downstairs. Luckily Lily wasn't feeling up to having a coffee and wanted to go to bed also. So I was able to go back to the bedroom and be with Emma who was still in a emotional mess from earlier.

I changed into my pyjamas as did Emma. We both crawled into bed and cuddled up to eachother. Emma faced Sophie which meant her back faced me. I wrapped my arms around her front and embraced her closely. She sighed before I heard her very faint heavy breathing. She had fallen asleep. I however found it much harder after all the thoughts and feelings going through my brain all at once. It was becoming torturous.

Emma's POV

I woke up by the sounds of Sophie cooing. My head was pounding but I sat up and lifted her out of her co sleeper. I as quietly as I could got out of bed trying not to wake Killian and walked towards Sophie's nursery.

Once I was in the nursery I opened the curtains and the window. It was starting to get a little warmer in New York which was a good as Sophie was starting to show signs of a cold which wasn't great as she hadn't gotten her injections yet. I changed her into a new diaper and into a cute outfit. I brought her downstairs and sat in the living room as I fed her. Lily came downstairs a few minutes later and said good morning to me. But I could tell something was up with her. I brushed it off my shoulder and focused back on Sophie. I felt hands on my shoulders and turned around to find Killian standing above me.

"Hello love."

"Hmm good morning."

"How's Sophie today?"

"Ask me in a few hours when I'm not half asleep."

He laughed and kissed my forehead and went to sit beside me before lily came out of the kitchen.

"Killian can I speak to you?"

"Yeah of course. I'll be right back love."

"Okay."

He walked quickly into kitchen and I couldn't help but get a little concerned over why they were both acting so suspicious.

Finally after hearing a few mumbles from the kitchen, Killian walks back out and smiles at me.

"Emma, will you come here a sec."

"Sure, is everything okay?"

"Me and Lily have to tell you something."

"Oh okay."

I followed him into the kitchen and he sat beside me on the kitchen island. He held my hand as I looked at his and Lily's facial expressions.

"Lily what's wrong?"

"Emma, last night I got a phone call."

"From who?"

"The police."
