True Love: God Approved

Chapter 19

*Emma's POV*

"What's she talking about, Swan?" Killian asked, the only other one to hear what she'd whispered. "What happened this morning that I don't know about?"

"I don't know," I shook my head, trying to think of what she could possibly be talking about. "Nothing, really. I woke up around dawn from a nightmare, I went to the bathroom, and I went back to bed. I woke up a few hours later, we talked for a while and then you guys showed up, that's it."

"Are you sure?" mom asked as gently as she could, taking the baby from Henry when he came out of the house. "There wasn't anything else? What did you two talk about?"

"Not much," I shrugged but when I looked up at her and my brother, suddenly I knew what the queen was talking about. My stomach heaved at the thought and I had to run to the bushes, feeling Killian's fingers pull my hair back as I lost every bit of my breakfast. I heard the front door and he offered me a glass of water, holding my hair as I rinsed my mouth. I groaned a bit as I stood and he wrapped his arms around me, rubbing my arm gently as I leaned on his chest with my arms around myself.

"You alright?" he asked quietly, moving my hair over my shoulder and brushing my cheek with his thumb as I nodded. He kept me close, kissing my forehead before looking up to everyone else. "It was just idle conversation, nothing overly important, what does what we talk about in the morning have to do with anything?"

"Don't get defensive," Dad said, noticing the edge to Killian's voice. "It'd the only clue we have, we're just trying to figure out what she's talking about. Is there anything you didn't mention?"

"No, we just talked," he said with frustration, obviously still unaware that I'd gotten sick. I was lost in my thoughts now, watching my brother and thanking god for all new reasons that no one on that ship had gone as far as to force themselves on me in the time that I was there. "Go ahead and call whoever you like, but I'm taking Emma to lie down. She clearly isn't feeling well and this isn't helping."

"We'll be in in a minute," mom nodded, squeezing my arm as Killian led me inside. "I'll make you some tea when I get in there."

I just nodded and let him lead me into our house. He sat back on the sofa with me, my knees bent over his lap and my arms crossed over my stomach with both his arms around me. I didn't know what to think about all this, leaning my head on his chest as I ran through everything in my mind. Before last night I hadn't slept since I'd been taken so I knew there was no way any of them got me pregnant, if I even was. And based on what the queen said, I was most likely very pregnant, so it had to be Killian's, right?

"It's alright, love," Killian said gently, of course noticing how quiet I was. "We'll figure it out, we always do."

"I know," I said quietly and took one of his hands in both of mine, twining our fingers together and watching my other fingertips draw patterns on the back of his hand. " I just think you and I should talk."

"What did you two do now?" Regina said as she came in with Zelena, not giving him a chance to react to what I'd said. "You've been back for twelve hours and you already have the Evil Queen on your trails."

"Can I talk to you a minute?" I said quickly, squeezing his hand before getting up and leading her to the kitchen. She looked vaguely annoyed but humored me, my arms crossed over my chest as I turned to face her and dropped my voice so only she could hear me. "Okay, I need you to bear with me here, and swear to me you won't tell anyone, deal?"

"Fine," she nodded, her look changing to concern as she crossed her arms as well. "What is it?"

"I think," I started, glancing over to where Henry was holding Killian's attention and taking a breath before continuing. "I think I'm pregnant, and if I am, your evil other half is after my baby."
