Life is Unpredictable even for a Confused Princess

~Waking Up~

7 months later 
I've been coming every day to see Emma and with each passing day my hopes of her waking up diminish. And I mean i can't lose that hope, it's the only thing keeping me going. I know I sound so dumb for saying this but it's true, I can't lose hope.

I don't understand why she hasn't woken up she even spent her birthday here laying on her bed. The doctor said her wounds have healed completely but he thinks the bump on the head was so hard her brain is still dealing with the injuries. I'm looking outside the window and I hear a groan.

I turn around and its Emma she was waking up. "Emma my love you're awake?" She smiles. "Yes, I am." I smile. "Wow my head is killing me, wait I'm alive! I thought I died but no I'm here with you." And she started to cry. "Why are you crying?" She half smiles.

"When Ruiz turned me around I knew he was going to kill me and when he stabbed me all I could see was pain in your eyes and it killed me to see that." I hugged her and she hugged me back. I felt like my heart was being mended from the pain of not being able to talk to her throughout all these months.

We let go and she sits back. She casually grabs my hand and sighs. "Killian?" I nod. "Yes, Emma?" "Umm how long have I been asleep?"  I sigh. "7 months." She gasps. "Oh my, that's a very long time." I nod. "Hey let me call your parents, uncle and cousin."

I get up and she grabs my arm. "My cousin and uncle?" I smile and sit down. "Yes, they're here." She gives me a baffled look. "I thought my dad and uncle still hated each other." I shake my head. "Well Emma as you see your uncle, King James came to his senses and changed after he saw that you sacrificed yourself to save Gracie and that you're not the person he thought you were."

"Wow, well that's great to hear." I noticed that she looked upset. "What's wrong?" She scoffs. "It's just I can't believe it literally had to take me dying for them to come into realization that they were wrong and had to stop this dumb dispute." I agreed with her and smiled. I kiss her hand and got up.

"I'll be back ok?" She nods and smiles. I get everyone and they all quickly ran to Emma's room. They shower her with hugs and kisses. I smiled at the sight of that.

*Emma's POV*
As my parents are hugging me I'm looking at Killian and I could not believe that when I woke up all I could see were those gorgeous blue eyes staring down at me, it made my heart race. I recalled the fact that I told him that I loved him, well I was about to die, of course I was going to say that.

Here I go again with my walls up and putting excuses as to why I cannot love him. I shake off those thoughts and that's when Gracie comes and hugs me and starts to cry. "Why you crying?" "I thought I had lost you. My only blood relative that's my age. Thank you for everything." I nod.

"Man Emma I was scared out of my mind when we were on that ship." I smile. "As was I." She gasps as she lets me go. "You were Emma?" I nod. "Of course, I was terrified but I didn't want to show it because you were scared and I wanted to be strong for you."

She hugged me again and apologized to me over and over again that I had to get my pillow and smack her so she could stop. "Say sorry again and I'm going to stay mad at you." She laughs and nods. "So good to see that you're doing well sweetie." I grabbed my mother's hand and smiled. I looked up and I see everyone there.

"I'm so happy we can finally be a family." I look at my uncle and he nods and hugs my dad. "Yes Emma and welcome back." I smile and nod as Gracie hugs me. I look over at Killian and he's just smiling like crazy. He nods and bows. I nod and he walks out of the room leaving me alone with my family.
