The Most Unexpected Things Happen - Killian Jones FanFic

Thinking - 20

Snow leaves and Henry goes with her so it's just me, Skylar, Zoe and baby Neal. They agreed to stay with me incase something went wrong. I cradled baby Neal in my arms and he was smiling, making little gurgle noises. That's all I had to do was keep him happy until Snow returned. An idea popped into my head.

"Hey Skylar, can I borrow your phone?" I ask.
"Sure." She says, passing me her phone.

I sit down with baby Neal and go onto YouTube. I find an episode of an old kids show and watch it with him. He laughs and I smile softly. This was the only way I knew how to keep a baby happy; watching kid shows.

"You okay there bro?" Skylar asks.
"Yeah, I'm good." I answer, smiling. 

We continued watching different kids shows and after an hour, the baby was sleeping. I put him in his cot and pace around the house, thinking to myself. I think about how I even got in this situation and if I didn't go hiking, where I could be. The main question I had was: Why? Why would Leo do this? Why would Rumpelstiltskin make Killian go through this? This wasn't fair for anyone. This was only our battle, not anyone else's. I try to think about what's happened since we've been here and I can't seem to connect any dots. None of this made sense and it was starting to frustrate me. Emma did say that maybe he was gathering all of our worst enemies. But that would mean that they aren't strong on their own. Then it hit me; we need to take them down, one by one, the weakest to the strongest. 

"But how?" I whisper to myself. 

I frown and my concentration lowers.

"Girls, can you look after Neal?" I ask them.
"Sure. Everything okay?" Skylar asks.
"Yeah, just want to look in that pawn shop." I say.

They nod and I grab my jacket before I head out. Wow, I actually remembered this time. I'm at the pawn shop in no time and I enter. I see Belle behind the counter.

"Hi Belle." I say.
"Hi Jasmine. What brings you here?" She asks, smiling.
"I didn't get to have a proper look in here before but I've got time to spare." I explain.

She starts to show me some pretty interesting things. After a couple of minutes, I see a necklace. It was a chain with a cross on it. I pick it up gently and take a closer look at it. 

"That was Killian's. I guess Rumple took it when he died and went to hell." Belle says.
"Wait what?" I ask, shocked.
"It was when he became the dark one before." She says.
"I still need to hear that story." I mumble.

I go to put the necklace back down but Belle stops me.

"Go take it back to him. Make it a surprise." She says smiling.

I smile and hold the necklace tightly in my hand. I thank Belle and leave the shop. I head back to the apartment and no one is back yet. 

"Everything okay?" Skylar asks.
"Yeah. Everything's good." I answer. 

I sit down on the couch and look at the necklace. The door opens and I quickly hide the necklace. Emma, David, Regina, Snow and Henry walk in. I don't see Killian and I frown slightly. 

"Where's Killian?" I ask.
"He went to the Jolly Roger. He seemed a little upset." Emma says.
"I'll go see if he's okay." I say, standing up. 

I leave the apartment and walk down the street. The sun is setting and I stand there, watching the sun go down. I make my way to the ship and get on. 

"Killian? You here?" I ask, looking around. 

I head down to the bedroom and see him sitting on the edge of the bed, his head facing the floor. 

"Killian?" I say in a soft voice.  

He says nothing. I walk up to him and I pick his arms up, wrapping them around me. He lifts his head up and looks at me. In his eyes, I see some sort of relief. 

"A penny for your thoughts?" I ask. 

He stands up and hugs me closely, not saying a word. I pull away and smile.

"I actually have a surprise for you." I say.

I grab the necklace and hold it out to him. He takes it from me gently and looks at it.

"Belle said it belonged to you. She said that I could return it to you." I explain, looking down at my hands. 
"I was going to make the surprise more special but Emma said you looked upset and I didn't come up with a plan yet but-"

He cut me off by kissing me. He pulls away and he looks a lot happier.

"Thank you love." He says.
"No problem, Captain. Now, how about some sword fighting?" I ask, smiling.
"Aye." He says, nodding.
"Okay but on one condition." I say.
"Okay. What is it?" He says.
"We go all out, no holding back." I explain.

He frowns.

"I can't" He says.
"Why not?" I ask.
"Because you can get hurt." He points out.
"If we end up in battle, we all might get hurt. This is about learning. If one of us does end up hurt, we'll both know it wasn't on purpose." I argue back.

We're suddenly on the main deck and each of us have a sword. I held the sword at my side and I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Let's see how quick you learn." He says.

I take my stance and he initiates the fight. We both swing our swords, blocking each other's swing, almost getting hit a few times. As my body gets tired, I drop the sword to my side and Killian's sword gently cuts my arm. I grab my upper arm to stop the bleeding and he rushes to my side immediately.

"I'm so sorry love." He says. 

We head down to the bedroom and he takes me into the bathroom. I see him raise his hand and I stop him.

"If you use magic, I'll kill you." I say.
"Get me a first aid kit." I ask.

I hear the magic sound and he hands me a first aid kit. I open it and take my jacket off. I grab some disinfectant wipes and clean the blood off my arm. Killian takes another wipe and gently wipes away the blood.

"I am so sorry love. I didn't mean it." He says
"I know Killian. I gave up before you could put your sword down and besides, it doesn't hurt. I'll bandage it up and it'll be okay." I say, looking at him. 

I could see guilt on his face and I know he wanted to use his power to help but I wanted the cut to remain. I grab the bandage and unroll it. Killian grabs it and gently wraps it around the cut. 

"Killian, after this, I'll get changed and we can watch a movie and have some dinner. Sound good?" I ask.

He looks at me and smiles. He finishes wrapping the bandage and says.

"I'll go make some food for us." He says, leaving the bathroom. 

As I tidy myself up and get changed, I start humming a song. And just like that, things were okay.
