Life Never goes as Planned

No More Secrets

A couple of weeks later

I've been feeling worse and worse, I don't know how to keep my cancer hidden from Emma. Two days ago they gave me my first round of radiation and I've been feeling horrible. I brush my hair and bits are falling out, not a lot for her to notice but I try my best to hide it. Lacy on the other hand has been having discomfort so this means that Belle will be arriving soon.

Emma was out with Rhea and Ben so I decided to catch up on my work. I have some community events to schedule so I decided to go to a coffee shop to focus. I grab my stuff and head on out. As soon as I opened the door I see Damon. "The hell you doing here?" I ask enraged as can be. He smiles. "I just came to see Emma." I scoff. "She's not here, so if you'll excuse me," I say and push him.

As I pushed him all my stuff fell. "Let me help you with that," Damon says and I scoff. "I can do it," that's when I start to cough. "Killian you don't look so good," he says and I back away from him. That's when I get dizzy. "Killian?" I start to see blurry. That's when I fall and pass out.

I then wake up and I'm on the couch. I gasp as I sit up. "What the hell?" I look to the couch next to mine and I see Damon sitting there. "Killian what's going on?" I scoff then I sit up and then leaned back. "Why do you care, you've been trying to get at my wife." He shakes his head. "No Killian, I am her friend and co worker." I clench my jaw and rolled my eyes.

"Killian what's going on, do you have leukemia?" I gasp. How does he know? "What are you talking about?" He sighs. "I was trying to look for something in your medicine cabinet and I found hidden some medication that help out with the side effects of chemo and radiation that specialize in leukemia." I gasp. "How do you know?" He sighs. "Someone close to me suffered from that and I had to take care of him and he was acting just like you." I sigh.

"Well it's true I have leukemia." He nods. "Why haven't you told Emma?" I sigh. "Damon how can I?" He sighs. "I'm expecting a child, she's so happy I don't want to ruin her happiness because my body decided to go against itself and give me cancer." He sighs. "Killian tell her, she needs to know." I sigh.

"Damon I can't, I can't break her heart again." He nods. "She doesn't deserve this, she deserves to be hopeful about our child and not be suffering because I'm dying." He nods. "I understand but she's your wife Killian." I nod. "She can help you fight, you can't be doing this on your own." I sigh. "I haven't, Lacy's been taking me to my sessions behind Emma's back." He nods then chuckles.

"What?" He laughs. "Nothing." I nod. "Well if you need someone else to go with you to your sessions you can count on me." I smile. "Thanks Damon." He nods. "I still don't think it's right that you and Lacy are hiding this from Emma." I nod. "I know but..." "Killian please if she finds out she will not forgive you but if you tell her she will be less mad." I sigh and nod.

"I guess you're right," I say and looked down. Damon comes and grabs my shoulder. "Have faith Killian, you will overcome this, you will not die and you will be there to raise your child." I smile. "Thanks Damon." He nods and pats my back. "Damon, I'm sorry for the way I was acting it's just..." He nods. "It's ok, I understand." I nod. That's when I hear the door unlock.

"Killian, Damon?" Emma asks confused as can be. "Where are the kids?" I ask and she nods. "They are at their friend's house working on a project." I nod. Then Damon gets up and makes his way to the door. "Well I'm heading out," he says and Emma nods. "Why did you come?" He smiles and whispers something to her, she then nods. "Bye Killian," he says and I wave goodbye.

Emma closes the door after Damon leaves she looks towards me. I go up to her and give her a kiss. "How you been?" She smiles. "Good." I nod. "And our baby?" She smiles and rubs her belly. "Good." I smile and grabbed her hands. "I need to talk to you about something." She gives me a concerned look.

"About what?" I take a deep breath and then sighed. "Emma I'm sorry I've been lying to you about something." She gives me a baffled look. I sigh. "I didn't want to tell you this because you have been so excited about the baby." She grasps my hand. "I have cancer." She let's go of my hand and her mouth dropped.

"You what?" She asks with a shaky voice. I nod. "I have leukemia." She shakes her head. "No you can't, you can't be that sick, you're a healthy man, you're my husband, you're super man nothing can kill you, no!" She screams and breaks out into tears. I sigh. This is what I was afraid of. "Emma, my love please calm down, you could hurt the baby." She nods.

"Did you just find out or what?" I sigh. "No I've known for a while now." She gasps. "Why didn't you tell me when you found out?" She asks mad as can be. "Precisely to avoid all this, I didn't want you to suffer like this, I didn't want to break your heart again." She half smiles then sighs. "Killian I'm your wife, we made a vow to each for better or for worse." I start to cry.

"I'm sorry Emma, it's just so much has happened, that I felt too guilty to tell you." She then wipes the tears from my eyes. "I'm sorry for keeping this from you, and I hope you don't get mad for the other thing I'm going to say." She nods. "I told Lacy and she was the one taking me to my sessions." She gasped then sighed in relief.

"Of course you would tell her." She then laughs. "You're not mad, I'm just upset that you two kept that from me but I understand why." I smile. "Together we will fight this my love, and you will be here to see our little boy grow up." I lift my eyebrow. "A boy Emma?" She nods. "You think it's going to be a boy?" She nods. "I can feel it." I smile and kiss her. "I guess in a month and a half we will find out." She nods.

That's when Emma's phone goes off. "It's Lacy," she says and I hear screaming from the phone. Emma puts the phone on speaker.

"Belle is coming, please come help!" She screams. Emma and I both smile and gasp. "I'm at the institute Emma, please come get me and bring Killian too," Lacy says while screaming from the contractions. "Yes Lacy we are on our way," Emma says then hangs up.

"Well I guess our little Belle will finally be a part of our family." I smile and nod. "Our big happy family." She nods. "Well let's get going," I say and head on out to the door. "Not before I do this." Emma turns me around and kisses me. I gasp then melt into her lips. She backs away breathless then giggles. "If you're up to it, I want to have a wonderful night together well that's if Belle comes early." I laugh.

"Shouldn't I be the one making it up to you?" She smirks. "Oh trust me you will make it up to me just wait." I smirk. "Can't wait love." She giggles. "Well let's get going." I nod and we head on out to the institute.
