Sorry for the late update, I really didn't have many good ideas but then I finally thought of this one. This contains spoilers for season six so if you don't want spoilers, don't read any further than this. You may have seen bts pictures of Emma fighting a hooded figure and this one shot will be based on that fight.

Emma's POV

I could just about see Killian, Henry and my parents running towards me. The hooded figure had come out of no where, it said if I wanted to protect my family I'd have to fight for them. To be willing to give everything up for them. I wasn't quite sure what that meant. The demon was ten times stronger than me, I was struggling to fight him.

"Swan!" I heard Killian shout, his voice wavering.

I didn't think I could do it any longer, sword fighting wasn't exactly my thing, I'm used to a gun or magic but I'd left my gun at home and for some reason I couldn't get my magic to work. Something was holding it back. I didn't know why, I wanted to use magic but I couldn't.

"Aghh" I screamed out in pain, he'd kicked me, I fell to the ground and the next thing I knew there was a sword put right through me.

Writer's POV

"Emma!" "Mom!" Killian and Henry shouted in unison. Henry burying his face in Killian's chest. Not wanting to look at his mother lying there on the floor.

"It's done."
The hooded figure spoke then disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Aghh!" Emma screamed as she awoke.

"Emma? Are you alright love?"
Killian jumped up from his pillow instinctively.
Killian wrapped his arm around her waist protectively, rubbing her back as an attempt to comfort her and placing a small kiss on her cheek.

"Yeah, fine. Just a bad dream. Sorry I woke you."
Emma said facing him, snaking her arms in around is torso, resting her head in the crook of his neck. Somehow when they hugged Emma's problems seemed to disappear completely.

"Don't worry, I wasn't sleeping. Every time I close my eyes I'm reminded of the beatings and torment I went through in the depths of hell...and then of course there's the whispering of the dagger."

Emma had pulled away from the hug to look at him. She could see the pain in his eyes. She wanted to tell him everything was going to be okay but she didn't know how. She had never really been one with words, in her experience she'd always thought actions spoke louder than words.


Killian had noticed her staring, he saw the look of pity in her eyes.

They stayed like that for what seemed like hours although in reality it had only been a couple of seconds.

Then she started to lean in, knowing that an action like a kiss would make him feel better. And it did. She cupped his face with her hands, telling him not to worry. She moved her hands from his face to the back of his head, playing with the ends of his hair saying that everything was going to be okay, that she wouldn't leave no matter the circumstance.

She brushed her lips against his ever so slightly, he kissed her knowing that was her way of comforting him. After a few seconds they both pulled away, their foreheads touching, getting lost in a moment of just being with each other.

"I'm sorry I caused you so much pain." Emma said in almost a whisper, the guilt evident in her tone of voice.

"Hey", he put his good hand on her cheek stroking it slightly with his thumb. "You were trying to save my life, I get that now. I'm not mad."

"Really?"

"Really. I'm very grateful actually, I've been given another chance, another chance for our future."

Emma smiled a sad smile. What if her dream wasn't just a dream? What if it was real, like the one she had had in the underworld? After a few moments of silence, Killian spoke up, "What happened in your dream?" It was as if he knew exactly what she was thinking.

"It was confusing. There was this man, no it was more of a demon." Killian held her hand. "Go on."

"I'll spare you the gruesome details, but he...it...ah...stabbed me."
Killian looked at her with fear, like he too thought perhaps these reality- dreams weren't a rare occurrence for Emma.

"Why? I mean... yeah why would he stab you?"

"It said I needed to be willing to prove I'd do anything to protect my family...." She trailed off her voice in a whisper, looking down clearly not wanting to think anymore on the subject.

"I hate the thought of losing you, let's not talk about it anymore, okay?
Killian said reading her thoughts again.

They both lay down, Emma resting her head on Killian's chest, with his arms around her. Neither of them wanting to sleep they just held onto each other, knowing their moments of peace would never last long.

"You know," Emma said whilst tracing random patterns with Killian's chest hair. "If we both can't sleep, there is something we could do." She looked up to Killian with a grin on her face. Killian knowing exactly what she meant smirked and flipped her on her back chuckling. Killian began placing soft kisses everywhere on her face, Emma giggling like she was being licked by a puppy, pulled him by his chin to meet her lips.
