The Beginning

Chapter 10

Emma walked into her house that night, after Killian went home, to see Killian and Henry on the couch with a mixture of mad and sad expressions.

"Is it true?" Henry asked quietly he was surprised his mother even heard it. "Is what true?" She asked worried. "That my biological father is alive?" He looked up at his Mom.

"Yes, its true your real fa-" she was instantly cut off by Henry."He's not my real father! Killian is! He's been more of a father to me than whoever my biological is ever was!" 

Henry stomped up the stairs leaving a surprised Emma and Killian. Killian was the first to speak.

"Did he just.." He trailed off still stunned. Emma nodded and smiled. She walked over and sat next to him.

"Yeah, yeah he did.. You know that you've been a father figure to him since we started dating, or even before that, right..?"

"Uh..." He trailed off "No I didn't know that." He chuckled nervously. Emma smiled, lighting up her whole face. Killian looked at her with love and passion, quite visible, in his eyes. 

She leaned her head against his chest, closed her eyes, and breathed out a sigh of relief. Killian kissed the top of her head lightly. "You know I love you right?" He whispered ever-so-slightly. Emma chuckled and looked back up at his handsome face.

 "Of course I do and.." She trailed off the slightest bit as she thought she saw a dark figure but them she looked back at him and spoke again, "I love you too, Killian Jones. Forever and always." He looked at her lovingly, longing hidden in his gaze. 

She hugged him again and she whispered into his chest, "Let's go to bed now." He hummed his agreement and they walked up the stairs, hand in hand. When they got to their bedroom they got into their pajamas. 

Emma crawled into bed Killian quickly following. They both moved to the point where they were cuddling comfortably. "Goodnight, Love." Emma's face tinted a slight pink color and she smiled gleefully. "Goodnight, Captain." She teased. His chest vibrated as he laughed. 

Killian started to hum Emma's favorite song to help her sleep and after about twenty minutes she fell asleep, her mouth slightly agape.

The next day

Emma woke up to see that Killian was no longer in bed with her but she smelled the sweet scent of caramelized bacon. Emma got out of bed and slowly made her way downstairs, still wearing her pj's from the night before. 

Once she was downstairs she spotted Henry and Killian rushing to make breakfast. By the looks of it they were celebrating something big. She leaned against a wall and watched them. Neither noticed her in their hurried state. 

Killian set up the table and finally noticed Emma standing there watching, with her eyebrows slightly raised. Killian cleared his throat to get Henry's attention. He noticed Emma as well and she walked over to her and hugged her. 

"Hey kid.." She said confused and yet still hugged him back. "Welcome back to the world mom." He laughed a little bit. He whispered in her ear, "Good luck." and he walked upstairs to his bedroom to get ready for school. 

Emma stood up straight and walked over to Killian. "Are you going to tell me what's going on mister." She focused in on his outfit. He was wearing a dark navy blue dress shirt and dark jeans. The collar on his shirt was unfolded and she immediately fixed it. He laughed and shook his head. "Just sit down and enjoy your breakfast." 

She sat down cautiously, half expecting there to be a whooping cousin under the skinny pillows on the chairs. She sat down and there was no noise. "Should I be worried?" She turned around to look at him. He walked up to the table and put a plate of caramelized bacon and a pancake with jam on it. "Not at all, Love." He said as he stuck a candle into the pancake. 

"Happy Birthday Emma." He whispered in her ear, a big smile on his face.

 OH. MY. GOD. How long has it been? A month? Two months? A year? I'm soooooo sorry guys. I had like hella big writers block. I apologize for the wait and the sucky chapter.
