Emma's POV

I only have about 3 or 4 months of my pregnancy left. I don't even know if I'm going to keep my babies, or give them up for adoption. My parents set me up a meeting at an adoption agency. Even if I end up keeping them, I want to at least explore the option of adoption. I want them to have their best chance, even if it may not be with me. I get dress, and go downstairs. I wait a few minutes for my parents to get ready, and we leave.

A nice lady, who works for the agency, explains to us what the agency does. She then explains the pros and cons of adoption. After a while, the meeting ends, and we leave. Once we get home, I go for a walk. I end up at the docks, and I sit on a bench. I sigh and put my head in my hands. I don't know what to do. I can't take of one kid let alone two. I want them to have their best chances, and it's definitely not with me. I mean I don't even have a job.

"Swan. Are you alright?" I hear a familiar voice asks me

I look up, and Killian is standing right in front of me. I stare into his eyes, and for a brief moment I consider kissing him. I quickly wash that thought out of my mind. I shake my head, and let it fall back into my hands. Without realising it, Killian sat down next to me. He then wrap his arms around me, to comfort me. Weirdly enough, this makes me feel a little bit better. I lift my head up and give Killian a half smile.

"Love, what's bothering you?" Killian asks

"I haven't made a decision about the babies, and I'm running out of time." I reply

"Ah... Well, love. I think you would make a wonderful mother. If you just give it a chance." Killian says smirking

"You know what, Killian? You might be right. Thanks. That was actually helpful." I say standing up

"Anytime, Swan. Glad I could be of help." Killian stands up smirking

I catch my self staring into his eyes once again. This time I cave in. I leaned in, and my lips met with his. Before I can pull away, Killian pulls me closer and kisses me back. It felt like sparks flying. Without knowing it, rain begins to pour down on us. I pull away.

"That was uh... a one time thing. I'm going to leave. Please don't follow me." I make it clear to Killian

I walk away, and go back home. I walk into my house, and go directly to my room. I slumped onto my bed. I can't believe I kissed Killian... I mean... what does it even mean? I sigh frustrated. I decide to distract my self from Killian, and do some job searching. My parents help me. I call a few places, and even manage to get a few interviews. I called Ruby, and she said she would talk to Granny about getting me a job at the diner. After about an hour, 7 calls, and 5 applications, I figure it was enough for one day.

Killian called me like 30 to 50 times, but I ignored them all. I also ignored all of his texts. I just can't handle another relationship right now. I sigh as Killian calls me again. I hit the ignore button, and put my phone away.

My parents cook dinner, and they set it on the table. I pile my plate up, and scarf it down. I get second helpings. My parents laugh at the way, I'm eating.

"What? I'm eating for three." I say as I continue to eat

Once dinner is over, I clean the kitchen. My phone goes off, signaling a new text message. I check to see who it is, hoping it's not Killian. I sigh in relieve. It's from Ruby.

Ruby- Hey, Granny says you can work at the diner. Can you start tomorrow?

Emma- Yes. I will at the diner tomorrow morning.

Ruby- Great. I will start training you tomorrow. See you then.

A bright smile comes across my face. I put my phone down, and squeal a little. My parents walk into the kitchen.

"Guess what! I got the job at the diner! I start tomorrow." I say squealing a little more

"That's great. This calls for a celebration. Let's go to Any Given Sundae, and have some Rocky Road Icecream." My dad suggests

My mom and me, nod in agreement. We order Rocky Road, and sit at a table. As we eat our ice cream, I talk to my parents about what I should do with the babies. We finish the ice cream, and head home. I take a quick shower and go to bed. I start work tomorrow.
