Killian's POV

"So does that mean I finally can get out of this prison?" I asked impatiently as Dr. Whale continued to drone on and on. He was throwing all these medical terms around and giving me a headache. Emma gave my hand a little squeeze, giving me that look to behave.

I brought her hand that was wrapped around mine to my lips. She smiled at me, trying not to act like Dr. Whale was boring her to death, too.

"Yes, Killian, that means your lovely fiancée can finally get you discharged and take you home today," Dr. Whale chuckled. Yeah, I bet you think she's lovely. I've caught you staring at her boobs and ass half a dozen times. The only guy who is allowed to do that is me.

The guy was lucky the left side of my body was still wrapped tight in a cast. Just because he'd saved my life, didn't mean I wouldn't kick his ass if I could for checking out Emma.

I'd overheard the nurses gossiping a few times that Dr. Whale was quite the flirt. If he was smart, he'd stay away from Mary Margaret. David would wring his neck if he started hitting on her.

David and Robin had been discharged a few days after the accident. Lucky bastards. I'd been stuck in this hospital bed for almost a month. Everyone kept treating me like I was a fragile piece of glass that was going to break at any second. The doctors and nurses were driving me nuts.

I hated when people thought they needed to wait on my hand and foot. I was perfectly capable of taking care of of myself. Even if I did have a broken leg and arm, 4 fractured ribs, and a concussion.

Emma was the worst of all. She always got mad at me for babying her, but she was way worse in that department. These last 3 weeks she had never left my bedside and did everything for me, no matter how much I protested.

I didn't deserve any of it. Yes, she had forgiven me and we were back together now, but I wasn't worthy of it.

Emma and I were engaged and having a baby. But my guilt was preventing me from being happy and moving on with our future. I was going to be a father and all I could do was wallow in self pity. How pathetic.

After about 3 weeks of her being stubborn and refusing to leave my side even if only for a few hours, I'd finally convinced Emma to go to the obstetrician.

I was bummed that I was going to miss Emma's first ultrasound, if I could get out of this stupid cast and go with her, I would. But unfortunately, I was going to be stuck in this thing and off my feet for awhile.

Her and the baby's health was the most important thing. I didn't want her to continue to put it off for my sake. Thankfully, Ed was giving me paid leave for as long as I needed. I'd told him numerous times that I wasn't going to be able to go back to work anytime too soon.

But he told me he'd rather lose me a few months than for good. I was shocked when he'd told me that. I wasn't that valuable of an asset to the company, I'd only been working there for a few months, and most of it had been as an intern.

But I guess he saw potential in me. Well, whatever it was, I was extremely grateful. Regina and Robin had decided to postpone the wedding. Regina had said it was because she was too 'fat', so they were going to wait until the baby was born.
