THIS IS SO INCREDIBLY LATE I'M SO SORRY!!!

I MADE IT KINDA LONG SO HOPEFULLY THAT MAKES UP FOR IT...

The next morning, Emma lay in the hospital bed, completely out of sorts. The medication was still affecting her and she was slurring out nonsense to anyone who'd listen.

"Is that a wedding riiiing?" she asked the nurse who was checking her vitals. Killian tried not to laugh as he sat out of the way at the side of the room.

"Yeah, it is," the nurse said with a warm smile.

"So you're marriiiiiied?"

"Yes, I am."

"To who?" Emma asked with wide eyes.

"To my husband, Steve," the nurse answered.

"Oooh, well you know, Steve is a lucky guy," Emma slurred.

"Well, aren't you sweet?" The nurse smiled.

"You know you- you're a great person."

"Aww, so are you."

"No, you? You're a really great person. Good, good, good, good, good," Emma slurred, poking the nurse's nose. "Boop!"

She broke into a fit of laughter, then began to sing.

"W-why was she flirting with the nurse?" Regina asked, sitting beside Killian.

"I've no bloody idea," he laughed, covering his eyes.

"Killyyyyy!! Emma exclaimed turning to him.

"Aye, what is it, my love?" Killian asked, walking up to her so he could take her hand.

"I can heeeeeeear!" She squealed, shaking his hand and humming a little tune.

"Aye, darling. That you can," Killian smiled, kissing her forehead warmly.

Emma suddenly gasped and looked up at Killian with her eyebrows scrunched up.

"Can YOU hear?" She asked, squinting at him.

"Aye, Swan. I can hear just fine," Killian chuckled.

"Why are you laughing at me?" Emma asked in a small voice, tears suddenly welling up in her eyes.

"No, no Emma, no I'm not laughing at you, I promise," Killian said, quick to brush away her tears.

While he was on the verge of laughing out loud due to Emma's actions under effects of the gas, he so badly wanted her to return to herself.

So he could hold her when she really realized she was okay.

So he could see the immense joy on her face and feel her kisses land all over him.

"Killyyyyyy!" Emma whined.

He realized he'd drifted off to the other side of the room, and when he turned, he found Emma with outstretched arms, reaching for him.
