Note: I'm trying to take comfort in the fact that Captain Swan will live on in fanfiction. As long as inspiration comes and interest remains, then I will continue to write. We'll never get to see their honeymoon, so I thought this would be fun to write. Hope you enjoy it! ~Steph

...The Journey is Half the Fun: Part 1/1...

Killian and Emma sat in the airport, awaiting their flight to Honolulu, Hawaii for their long awaited honeymoon.

"Love," Killian began, turning to his wife, "I don't understand why you can't just poof us to our destination. It would be much safer than traveling in that flying tin can you call an airplane."

Emma laughed. Killian had never flown on an airplane before and didn't trust that it could remain in the air without magic.

"I told you. I only use magic when it's necessary. Plus, flying is very safe."

Killian took her hand in his and leaned in close to her, whispering in her ear. "Aye, but it is much slower. Just imagine what we could be doing right now if we were already in Hawaii."

Emma felt a shiver run down her spine at the lust in her husband's voice. He kissed below her ear and then her neck, eliciting a giggle.

"Killian, we're in public," she managed weakly.

"My point exactly," he said, moving to her lips. "We could be in the privacy of our own honeymoon suite right now."

He was certainly persuasive and it was tempting not to waste anymore time after everything they had been through. She allowed him one final kiss and then pulled away. She lifted her hand to caress his cheek and met his eyes.

"I would like nothing more than to get you alone, but this is our chance to be a normal couple for once. Just newlyweds on their way to their honeymoon." She paused and then smiled. "Plus, sometimes the journey is half the fun. I'd say it was with our relationship, wouldn't you?"

Killian cocked an eyebrow and shrugged. "Definitely only half, love. I wouldn't consider battling villains and being separated by curses and death all that fun."

Emma laughed and placed her head on his shoulder, squeezing his hand in hers. "Maybe not. But it led us here, so I wouldn't change a thing."

Killian nodded and dropped a kiss onto her head. "Aye, me neither."

After a few moments, Killian glanced at the flight screen before them.

"Swan, what was our flight number?"

"725."

They were flying to California and then Hawaii.

Killian gestured at the screen with his hook. "I know I'm new to this flying thing, but I am going to assume cancelled isn't a good thing."

Emma's eyes widened. "What?"

She looked at the screen and saw that indeed their flight was now listed as cancelled. Emma jumped up from her seat and went over to the attendant at the desk. She returned a few minutes later.

"So bad weather in California of all places has forced our flight to be cancelled. We can't get on another one until tomorrow morning."

Killian cocked a brow and grinned. "You're right, love. This is fun."

Emma groaned. "I wish things could be easy just once."

"You said you only use magic when necessary. I'd say this qualifies."
