The Accident

Impressing

"Do you want to go and get some gelato to celebrate?" Asks Killian.

"Yes!" I say and little too excitedly. He laughs.

We drive to my favourite gelato place and we order our favorite gelato. We go back to the car and Killian hands me my gelato. We sit and eat in silence and then I see someone that I haven't seen in a long time.

I opened the window and yelled "Alexander!" He looks around until he sees me.

"Emma" he says.

I wave to him and he walks over to Killian's car. I open the door and get out and hug him.

"How are you Emma" he asks and looks at Killian

"Good. I've been very busy but I'm good. How have you been?" he smiles

"Good me and my wife just found out that we are adopting next week" I smile at him.

I've always loved adoption, my sister was adopted when she was ten.

"That's great!" He smiles and then sees my ring

"Congratulations Emma!" He says.

"Oh hush. I'm announcing it on Ellen in a few days." I smile and look down at my ring

"Wow Emma you have grow up so much. You know who inspired me and my wife Issabelle to adopt?" I look at him with a curious look and he then says "You did Emma" I look at him with a worried face.

"Well I better get going. Talk with you soon. Maybe I could help you and your wife with the new kid?" I asked trying to change the subject.

"Emma? Ummm... ya you can. Bye. Talk with you soon." I wave to him and sit in the passenger seat. I put my face in my hands and sigh.

"Swan? What's wrong." Asks Killian.

"Nothing!" I snap at him and tears started falling. "I'm sorry Killian. I really don't want to talk about it." He looks at me and puts his hand to my leg. I put my hand with the ring on his hand and smile.

"You can always talk to me about it." He says and then we drive off.

We get home and I sit down on the couch. Killian was about to go into the kitchen when I call him over.

"I really want to tell you but I don't want you to judge me." I say to him

"Swan you're my fiance I want to marry you. I'm not going to judge you." He says with a small smile on his lips. I kiss him and then say

"Just don't get mad at me for not telling you sooner" he shakes his head and I  look down at my hand with my engagement ring. "You know how I know Emila. Well I was in a home with her sister. Well it complicated. I was in a home with her sister Lily and then Lily got adopted and her adoption parents had Emila but then they both passed away in a car accident and Lily.. well... ummmm... she was murdered by Maxon because she helped me put him in jail so she couldn't take care of Emila so know I feel like it's my job to take care of her." Tears start to fill my eyes.

"You were in a home with Lily?" I look up at him and he doesn't seem mad.

"Ya I was in a home for eight years until David and Snow adopted me." He looks at me and then pulls me into a hug. "Your not mad at me for not telling you that I was adopted?" He looks at me in the eyes and then pulls me into a deep kiss. In between kisses he says

"does this answer you're question?" I giggle.  I pull away and he seems sad that I stopped us.

"We need to get ready for the trip!" He frowns and I laugh. "Will you take me shopping?" I asked him.

He smiles "Yes your majesty" I sighed and stand up slowly and carefully walk to the door.

"Swan this is going to take forever" he complains and then picks me up bridal style and brings me to the car. He drives me to the dress shop and I pick out a simple white dress that hugs my top and flows down at the bottom. I then choose some bright red heels to pair with it to drew the attention away from my engagement ring, hopefully. Killian is going to love it.
