Chapter 14: Happy...ish

Back again with an update for you guys! Leave some thoughts in the comments for me? Thanks loves!

Emma's eyes fluttered open, having been provoked by a steady snoring nearby. She took in her surroundings, finding herself in her bed, and Killian asleep on a chair he'd pulled up.

She also noted her hand was entwined with his.

She smiled softly upon seeing him. Nobody else in the world would've gone to any lengths to stay with her. To be with her.

It was everything.

Even in his sleep, Killian Jones had the ability to set butterflies free in Emma's stomach.

As she gently removed her hand from his grip so she could get out of her bed, Killian began to stir.

"Hey," Emma said softly, feeling guilty for waking him.

"Hey, you're up," he said in a gravely voice, wiping his eyes. "How do you feel, love?" Killian asked, worry evident in his voice.

Emma shrugged, not really wanting to talk.

"I figured... is there anything I can do for you, Swan? Anything, just name it," Killian said sincerely, bringing her hand to his lips.

"Can you just... hold me for a little while?" Emma asked softly, her eyes welling up slightly.

"Of course, Swan. May I...?" he asked, gesturing towards the bed. Emma nodded,  letting him get in with her. She cuddled up to his arms, and for the moment, everything seemed like it'd be okay.

"You make me really happy," Emma whispered, nuzzling into his chest.

Killian smiled, looking down at her. 

"I'm glad, love. That's all I want, for you to be happy," Killian mumbled in her hair, his chin resting on the top of her head. "So... the cast list came," Killian said.

"What?!" Emma exclaimed, her head shooting up.

"I thought we might open it together," Killian continued, grabbing the envelope from the nightstand.

Emma swallowed thickly, her palms beginning to sweat as Killian tore open the envelope.

"Care to do the honors, Swan?" Killian asked, pulling it the paper within.

Emma shook her head vigorously, anxiously tugging at her sleeves.

Killian unfolded the paper, Emma quickly turning away to hide in his chest as he read over the paper.

"Well?" Emma asked  nervously.

"Take a look," Killian answered emotionlessly.

Emma sighed, looked up, and read over the paper.

Names... 

Names names names...

A whole list of names and right there.

Right there was hers.

And right above 'Emma Swan,' was Killian Jones.

As Princess Enya and Hook.

"We- we did it?" Emma managed, barely believing the print on the page before her.

"Aye, love, that we did," Killian replied, laughing wih joy.

"Well we have to tell-! Uh, Robin! And Mary. I guess," Emma said, hopping up.

"And August," Killian finished slowly.
