Killian POV- Emma wrapped her arms around my torso. She was going to be okay. I carried her back to my ship. I untangled her arms from my neck and rested her onto my bed. I kissed her forehead before reaching for one of my shirts. Emma was in a deep sleep and was completely out of it. She was cold and soaking wet. I undressed her and buttoned her up in one of my large shirts. I didn't mind and i don't think Emma would either. It was for the best. I lifted up some thick blankets up to her chin and stroked her hair away from her face. How, after all of this did she still look so beautiful? I got some hot cocoa for myself and i went and sat next to her. I didn't leave her side, not for a second. I held her frozen hand attempting to warm it. I was honestly so scared that she was going to die. Jumping in after her came naturally, i had to save her. I caressed my thumb against hers. Her hand shakily searched for my other hand. I wrapped both my hand round hers, which was slightly warm now. She started to wriggle a bit. I giggled to myself as she opened her eyes slowly.
"Now love, how you feeling?"
"Okay I guess, my head hur-"
She cuts herself of as she realises that shes in my shirt. "uh, i-i.." I smile, almost embarrassed but she and I both quickly change the subject.
"Aye love, you have quite the nasty bump on your head."
Emma POV- He gently moves his hand to the back of my head. I flinch my head in fear and also in pain. It hurt but i flinched in fear. After what happened with Neal, i guess i was just nervous. I sat up, still holding Killian's hand.
"Wheres Neal!"
"It's fine love. I called your father and he and your mother took him to the hospital and then to the station."
I buried my head back into the pillow, and stared up at the roof. I noticed Killian was still staring at me "What?" He just shook his head and smiled. A sat up again, still grasping his hand, i didn't want to let go.
"Thank you Killian. For jumping in after me in the first place. If you hadn't.."
"It was the right thing to do..."
"How did you find me, back when i left the ship"
"You left the hatchet open, the cold woke me instantly and i guessed you left. I walked along the docks looking for you. I saw Neal walking up behind you. I ran, trying to stop him but it was to late, you where in the water."
"You risked you life for me?"
"Aye..."
His eyes leading me into him. I had that feeling again. The feeling of a magnet towards him. It was me moving this time. I lightly grabbed his collar pulling him towards me. I pressed my lips onto his. It was what i needed. Love. We pushed back on each other passionately yet slowly. Our love for each other growing by the second. We set off slow but we grew faster. Killian climbed up onto my bed and we kissed away. Nothing more. I broke this kiss, collapsing into his arms. He held me for a while. A shooting hit my heart. I-i love him...
