I'm going to try to incorporate the episodes as we go, but bear with me. I'm not quite myself lately. Anyway, enjoy and please comment and vote!

*Writer's POV*

The moment that blow hit Killian's chest Emma simply dropped to the floor across town. Henry tried to call someone, anyone, but they were all so busy trying to get Killian to the hospital, no one paid the slightest attention to their phones. Killian was simply in the dark, but Emma...

It was like she was in battle, a cold night on the street with a hooded figure and a sword in her hand. Her family ran up just as the figure disarmed her and a moment later it stabbed her right in the gut. To her it was just some bad dream, but those visions would come into play much sooner than she could imagine.

*Emma's POV*

I woke up with a gasp, finding myself in a hospital bed. I looked around the room to see Killian on another bed, ignoring my dizziness and rushing to his side. He was bare from the waist up, at least eighty percent of his skin nearly black with bruises.

"Oh, Killian," I breathed, brushing his hair off his forehead and letting my fingertips trail down the side of his face. He let out a ragged sigh and tears welled in my eyes, seeing him like this breaking my heart. "What's happened to you?"

"The bull from before got out," my dad said from the doorway and I looked up, the movement sending my tears down my face. "Hit him before he even saw it coming. We rushed him here then Henry called about you passing out."

"I'm fine," I said as I shook my head, trying to swallow the emotion in my voice and looking back down at my fiancé. "I'm more worried about him. Did the doctor says anything? Is he alright?"

"He's okay," he assured me as he went to sit in the chair in the corner, watching me intently as I took Killian's hand in both of mine to hold in my lap. "He's just on a lot of pain meds so he's been asleep a while. He woke up once, only worried about you, of course, but passed out again. That's when we brought you in here with him. He should come around soon."

"Mkay, good," I nodded, my hormones getting the best of me as I started to full on cry. "Its okay, Killian, I'm okay. Now you just have to be okay too and we can go back home. Please just do that for me, please."

"He may wake, but I'm afraid you won't be here to see it," I heard the queen, looking up just as my father jumped in front of me. That only made her laugh. "Haven't you learned by now, shepherd boy? You can't protect anyone from the queen."

"That's my daughter," he started angrily but she froze him as he went to pull out his sword.

"And it seems you've failed her again," she sighed, going around him to face me. "And there she is, the one everyone thinks is going to defeat me. How precious. Tell me, do they know about those visions you've been having?"

"What visions?" I asked, utterly lost again by her words. "What do you know?"

"The usual. More than everyone else," she said simply, her eyes drifting down to where one of my hands rested protectively on my bump. A smirk grew on her face as she looked back up, her hand going to my stomach and making me flinch. "And while my spell may not have done as much as I'd have liked, it did more than enough. This will be worth it soon. Very soon."

She disappeared in a puff of smoke, setting my father free to rush to my side as I sagged with relief now that she was gone. He wrapped his arm around me and I vaguely heard him asking me things, but I was lost in thoughts of what she could mean until I heard Killian groan.

"Emma," he mumbled groggily and I snapped to attention, quickly scooting closer to his head and away from my father. "I need Emma, where's my Swan?"

"Shh, I'm right here," I told him quietly, keeping ahold of his hand and reaching up to stroke his hair gently. His eyes cracked open and I let out a bit of sob when they landed on me. "See? I'm alright, everything's alright."

"Swan," he sighed with relief, sliding his arm around my stomach to pull me closer and letting his eyes close again. "I'm so happy you're alright and you're here."

"Of course I'm here, where else would I be?" I smiled a bit through my tears, stroking his cheek with my thumb. "My idiot gets pummeled by a giant animal and you think I'm not going to be right here with him?"

"I am a pretty big idiot today, aren't I?" He agreed guiltily, moving his hand to hold my hip and opening his eyes again. "I'm sorry, love, I didn't mean to worry you or cause stress for our little one."

"Don't you even worry about anything but you," I commanded gently with a small smile. "Just let me take care of you for once, okay?"

"I think I can manage that," he smirked a bit, tugging on me the way he always did when he wanted me to come closer. I giggled a bit at him and bent to kiss him, his smirk growing against my lips as he kissed me. "Now when can I go home with my love?"

"I'll go find out," my dad said, reminding us of his presence and making my face go pink. "You just, uhm, get him dressed and I'll get you guys home."

"Thanks, dad," I half smiled and he wiped tears from one of my cheeks before leaving me to my pirate. "Now you, come here."

"If the lady insists," he said with that smirk that made my knees weak, only slightly wincing when he sat up to be nearly pressed to me. He caught my lips again, this time in a much deeper kiss, my arms sliding around him as he held me to him perfectly. I never wanted to let him go, my skin burning for his touch already as we began to get truly lost in that moment. "Mmm... Swan... perhaps we should wait until we get home?"

I snapped my fingers and we were on our bed at home. He grinned and yanked me over to straddle his lap, wincing again but not giving me a chance to hesitate. He claimed my lips quickly, making clear where he planned to take this.

"Killian?" I questioned quietly, wanting desperately to make his pain go away. "Can I..."

"Don't even think about it, Swan," Killian stopped me, reading my mind like usual. "You know the baby doesn't like it, and I'm alright, I promise."

"Then you'll just have to let me kiss it better," I teased him lightly and he smiled that smile that melted my heart every time, tugging me even closer to him. I giggled at him, letting him pull my borrowed shirt over my head and leave me bare from the waist up like him before I bent to kiss him again.

Not as long as I wanted, but I wanted to get you an update before the episode tonight. Plus, it's been, like, forever since I updated this story, so for that I'm sorry. If you read my other stories, though, you know why I'm not really myself. 

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed it and you'll enjoy the episode, and I'll try to update again soon. Later, loves!
