Killian's POV

"The police? What about?"

"Well..."

"Lily?"

"It's Jack and Helen. They are out of prison."

"What?!"

"I was going to tell you last night but I knew you were still upset over Robin so I left it."

"I...I need to get some air."

"Swan"

"No, please. I want to be alone."

She walked slowly out of the kitchen and I followed her as she lifted her car keys. I kissed her before she left the house and jumped into her bug.

"Well... It didn't go as bad as I thought it was going to."

"I'm just worried she will go somewhere and not come back until way later on."

"Killian, if she's not back by 7pm I'll let you go look for her. She needs time, those two were in Emma's nightmares for years. It's only fair that she gets space to breathe and think things through."

I nodded before Sophie started crying. I went to her Moses basket and lifted her out to soothe her. I understood why Emma was feeling the way she was, but after everything that's happened in our family the last two years I can't help but worry.

Emma's POV

I drove the bug towards the New York traffic before trying to think through where I was actually gonna go. I decided to go to Mary Margaret's and ask David if he could do anything.

I pulled up to their house and knocked on the door. To my relief David's sheriff car was in the driveway and he answered the door.

"Emma."

"Hey David. Have you got a minute?"

"Of course! Is everything okay?"

"Yeah of course. Is Mary Margaret here?"

"No she umm, she brought Aimee to a mummy and me swim class. Come on in I'll get you a coffee."

"Thank you."

I followed him into the house and into the kitchen were I sat down at the table as David made the coffee. He set both the cups down and sat facing me.

"So, tell me. What wrong?"

------------------------

"So what your trying to say is that you want these two thrown back into jail for?"

"Me and my family's safety. They are abusers and will in some way find out where we live and try and get back into me and Lily's lives."

"I know how your feeling Emma but that's not a valid excuse. They have served their years in prison and to be fair they might have changed! Don't think the worst of people!"

"I can't help it. It's what I do. Ask Killian."

"Trust me I've heard all about it."

"David, even a restraining order would make me feel somewhat safer. I can't raise my family knowing they are walking around New York trying to find me."

"It sounds reasonable. Here's a deal. You see them anywhere or they come anywhere near you, then I'll put a restraining order on them. Deal?"

"Deal."

"Now go home and try not to think about it."

"Okay I will. Thank you David."

----------------------------------

I slammed the car door and locked the car behind me. I took a deep breath before opening the front door and walking inside the house.

"Emma!"

Killian walks down the stairs with Sophie in his arms. He looked worried as he continued to run towards me. He embraced me into a hug and I placed my head in his shoulder.

"Thank god your alright. How are you feeling?"

"Umm, better."

"I'm glad your back."

I pulled out of the hug and took Sophie out of his arms. She started crying and I placed her into her automatic baby rocker. I pressed the sleeping button and it rocked her to sleep and played some lullabies.

"I'm gonna go to bed and take a nap if that's okay."

"Yeah of course. I'll talk to you later."

He kissed my cheek and I walked towards the stairs. When I got into the bedroom I changed into my pyjamas and flopped onto the bed. I was overwhelmed with feelings and emotions from the start of the day and worry continued to swamp my brain. I found it so hard to close my eyes and sleep.

The next thing I know I wake up and the curtains in the room were closed. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. As I walked into the bathroom I fixed my hair and looked out the window. It was dark out so I guessed everyone except Killian was in bed. I began to walk downstairs and saw Killian standing in the kitchen. I walked behind him and hugged his chest.

"Good evening."

"Hey beautiful, how was your nap?"

"Good. Where's the boys?"

"Henry and Liam are at the basketball teams all nighter. Im guessing you forgot."

"Oh god yeah I did. Sorry."

"It's okay. Sophie is asleep in her Moses basket in her nursery so.."

Without letting him say another word I slammed my lips onto his. We turned in circles as he ran his fingers through my hair.

"What was that."

"I missed you."

He raised his eyebrow at me and then picked me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist as he walked upstairs.

He carefully turned the door handle to our bedroom and set me down on my feet again were we resumed kissing.

"Your so beautiful."

"I know hmmh."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure?"

"About this."

"100% sure. Your the father to my daughter and my husband. Why wouldn't I be sure."

"Wow I love you."

"I love you too."
