Bodies Changed

Coping

It's been two weeks since Regina took Rhea and Lacy still hasn't woken up. I am extremely heart broken, I can't contain this pain. It's a horrible pain, it's just eating me up inside. I'm laying in bed hugging one of Rhea's little blankets. I would just smell her scent and pictured her back in my arms.

Regina is a cruel woman, you can't just take a child like that, my baby needs me. As I continued to cry there in bed as Killian walks in. "Love I'm back, you need anything?" He asks and I sigh. "Rhea," I say and he sighs. "I know love I want Rhea back too but we've done everything in our power to find her even the police are out there looking for her." I scoff.

"You have a name Killian, why don't you go to your mother and father, to actually look into this because those stupid cops aren't doing anything. You have a title now go put it to use and get our daughter home." I say and he sighs. "Emma..." I continued to cry. "I'm sorry Killian, I..."

That's when he goes and lies down next to me and hugs me. I place my head on his chest. "I already did that love, but even we have our limits." I nod. "I'm sorry Killian, I just miss our baby so much, she's probably out there hungry, cold, scared, she needs us." I say and he nods.

"For now we just have to learn to cope with this my love," he says and I sigh. "Worst case scenario if we can't find her we can always have more," he says and I get up. "What?" He sits up and smiles. "Yes we can have more, as many as you want," he says with a smile. I start to get furious. "So it's that easy for you to replace your first born, just have more and we will forget about Rhea?" I say and he sighs.

"Emma that's not what I meant, I'm not saying I'm replacing her, I'm just saying just in case if we can't find her we can have more kids, that's all I'm saying." He says and I chuckle. "No you just want sex and not worry about our missing child," I say and Killian chuckles. "You're kidding right?" He says and I shake my head.

"I'm going to find my child with or without you," I say and started to walk away. "You mean our child," he says walking right behind me. "I'm not going to have more children until I find my daughter Killian." I say and he sighs. "Love I didn't mean to upset you, I just didn't want you to be all depressed." I scoff then chuckle. "What?" He asks.

"How is it that Im depressed and you're not?" Killian gives me a straight face. "What?" He asks as he squints his eyes. "Yeah her disappearance hasn't affected you, you're still going to work, I don't see you at all affected, was it your plan to steal Rhea and keep her to yourself?" I ask and Killian squints his eyes in disbelief. "What?" He asks and I nod.

"You heard me Killian Jones, what if this was your plan, maybe you told Regina to kidnap Rhea so you can go and be with Milah, your mom always wanted you to be with her, so maybe you're the one linked with all this, and somehow your father is the one covering up for his little boy." I say and Killian gasps.

"I cannot believe what I'm hearing, you think I would do that huh?" He asks and I stayed quiet. "Don't blame me for this, you were the one who befriended Regina, if anyone's at fault it's you!" He screams at me and I scoff. "I was just being a nice person Killian," I say and he scoffs. "Yes fine but Lacy and I told you over and over not to trust that damn woman, even my dad told you but no because you think you're the smartest one you did what you wanted and ignored us." He says and I scoff.

We continued to argue and say hurtful things to each other and that's when Killian's phone goes off. Killian's face goes blank as he listens to the person on the other side of the phone. "Love what is it?" I ask and tears start to form in his eyes. "Ok sir once I confirm it's him I will make myself present to his office thanks," he says then hangs up.

"Since my mother is out of the country, I have to go identify a body." I gave him a weird look. "Who?" "Apparently they found a dead person that looks like my father," he says and I gasp. "No?" He nods. I grabbed the keys and phone and made my way to the door. I look back and Killian is just standing there. "Love let's go," I say and he ignores me. I walk up to him. "Killian..." He looks down at me. "I can't do this, I lost Rhea and now possibly my father," he says and I sigh.

"Look let's go identify him first then we will worry about the rest ok?" I say as I caress his face. He half smiles and nods. "I'm sorry Emma for earlier," he says and I sigh. "I'm sorry too, it's just this pain is horrible and I took it out on you," I say and he kisses me on the forehead. "We need to be strong and be each other's fortress," he says and I nod.

We get into the car and drove out to the hospital. We get escorted to the morgue and they have a body there covered under a blue sheet. Killian grabs my hand as the ME unveils the body. We both gasp. It was my father in law. Killian starts to cry. "That's my father," he says and she covers him back. "I'm so sorry," she says and we nod.

Killian hugs me and is crying like crazy. "Who could have done this? First my baby and now my father?" He says and I'm trying to calm him down. He continued to cry then fixed himself. "We have to go to my dads office," he says and I nod. We made our way back and we walked into the empty office. "Mr and Mrs Jones," My fathers assistant Gracie says as she escorts us to a seat.

"The senator will be with you shortly, and my condolences," she says and we both nod. Five minutes pass by and the senator walks in. "Killian, Im so sorry that we are meeting under these circumstances, my condolences." He says and we nod. "There are pressing matters we need to attend to, now that your father is gone, we need to talk about who will be taking his place." Killian sighs.

"Doesn't like one of the other people from the council or something or the mayor get his place?" Killian says and he sighs. "It's an option, but your father picked you to take his place in case he dies." Killian and I both gasped. "What?" Killian says and the senator nods.

He gets up and smiles. "As of today you are the governor of our state," he says and Killian stood there in disbelief. The senator walks away from the main chair and escorts Killian there. "Now in a week we will make it official but as of now you have the power here Killian," he says. "I will have someone guide you in everything you need to know about this job, but if there is something I can do to help, please let me know." He says and he smiles.

"Find me a woman named Regina, and also figure out who the hell Cora and Gold are, they are responsible for taking my baby away and I'm pretty sure they are the sick bastards who killed my father," Killian says and he nods then walks away. I gasp and Killian sighs. He then walks up to me and hugs me.

"Even though Im scared to death about this my love, I will find our daughter and lock up the bastard that killed my father." I smile and nod.
