The Chaos It Casued

The End Or Beginning?

EMMA'S P.O.V

I lay on my bed, snuggling my pillow. It's my fault. If I had been more careful, maybe he'd still be alive. I can't breathe still. My heart won't let me.

"How is she?" I hear Anna ask.

"Not good. She won't speak or eat again. I can't believe this. She already lost her baby, they had to kill her true love too? At least she still has the twins," Mom replies.

I hear a knock at the door then some shuffling. I sit up and crawl to the edge of the bed so I'm able to peek through the bars and see who's here.

When I see Jefferson, I immediately become confused. He's holding roses and wearing a tux. I sit Indian style, still snuggling my pillow.

"Can I please see Emma?" he asks kindly. Mom gives him a strange look before pointing in my direction.

Jefferson thanks her before walking up the stairs to me. I'm in mom's loft. I'm too upset to go home right now. I stare at Jefferson when he walks up. He hands me the roses and sits next to me.

"Emma, I know you just Hoo-Killian, but you need someone to protect you. If you marry me, I'll keep you safe. If anything goes wrong, I have a new hat that works. You'll not only gain a husband, but another daughter. Paige would love to have siblings. Especially little ones," he smiles and points to my baby bump. "Please, Emma. I can't hear to see you alone like this."

I take a deep breath. I hate to have to talk to him, but it's the only way to let him down easy.

"You're sweet, but I really don't need help from a known kidnapper.... I have my family and they'll get me through it.... I don't want to marry you, I'm sor-"

"MOM! MOM HE'S ALIVE!!" Henry screams, bursting into the apartment, making me jump. I stand up and rush downstairs.

"Who?! Who's alive?!" I ask immediately, my hope skyrocketing.

"Dad, Killian, Hook, whatever you wanna call him, he's alive!"

"What?! Where?! Henry tell me!!" an undeniable smile takes over my face and I grab Henry's shoulders. I grab my coat, telling Henry to take me to him.

"Oh and there's something else, but you're not going to like it."

"It's ok, tell me."

"He's going to be alright, but the guy who tried to kill him was Jefferson. He wants to marry you."

"What...?" I immediately look to Mom who's already on her way up the stairs to hurt him. "Let's go. Killian needs me."

Henry nods and leads me out.

. . .

"KILLIAN!" I run to his bedside, feeling my entire body shake from happiness.

"Emma, you're alright!" he places his hand on my cheek. "How are the little ones?"

"Happy that their dad is alive," I smile, tearing up.

I kiss him, never wanting to let him go again. He smiles at me goofily, making me wonder what he's thinking.

"I seem to remember a certain someone swearing I was going to die from the crocodile only a few years ago."
