Captain Swan- Then There Was Three

Chapter 7: Grieving

Emma spent the next few days in bed. She was sad, but she didn't want it to get the best of her. She was happy that her second baby was still alive.

Killian, also sad, was shocked by the whole thing, as it came out of nowhere. Elizabeth was staying with David and snow, so Killian and Emma could spend some time together.

"Killian?" Emma whispered. She felt Killians fingers intertwine with hers.

"Yes, Love?" He replied, placing his hands on Emma's stomach.

"Are you ok? You have been asking me that but I want to know if you are ok." She stuttered.

With a sad smile, Killian said, "Love, it's still hard dealing with all the pain this has caused for both of us. I'm just trying to help you."

A tear slipped down Killians cheek as Emma wiped it off and pulled him into a hug. They were laying on the couch together, in silence.

Killian massaged Emma's palm and kissed her cheek tenderly.

"Thank you, Emma," He whispered quietly.

"No need to thank me, I'm just doing my job," She said with a smile. Killian sat up and gently caressed  Emma's stomach. He leaned down and placed a kiss on it, so he could assure his child he was there.

"Killian, can we pick up Elizabeth? I miss her..." Emma blurred out suddenly as she hugged Killian tightly.

"Ok, love. How about we get some lunch first?" Killian says as he gently runs a finger through Emma's hair.

"That sounds good," She quietly replied. She had been incredibly attached to Killian ever since the miscarriage.

Killian took Emma's hand and led her to the car. She took her seat and winced a little. She was sore still from all the cramping she had. 

When they arrived at grannies they ordered the usual. A grilled cheese with extra fries for Emma. And a hamburger with a rum for Killian. He had strangely become addicted to cheeseburgers.

They finished eating and went to Snow and Charmings. Emma knocked on the door and David answer.

"Hey, Emma. How are you guys doing?" He asks caringly. Emma wraps her arms around David and sighs. Snow comes down the stairs and hugs Emma tightly. Then they both hug Killian.

"How was Elizabeth?" Emma asks, slowly taking Elizabeth into her arms. She had missed her mom and dad and reached for them both.

"Hi little one, sorry we were gone so long..." Killian kisses her forehead as Elizabeth pulls on Killians shirt. She rests her head on Killian's shoulder. Her bright eyes shine as bright as the sun could ever shine.

Emma looks down, as expected, but Killian wish he could of helped her. He felt terrible, it was like a rock had been pulling him down.

When they got inside the car Emma's tears began to fall. She put her head against the steering wheel as Killian got out of the car and walked around to her side. He opened the door and knelt down beside her.

"Mama?" Elizabeth's sad voice was heard and Killian calmed her down. Killian held Emma's hand and told her soothing words.

"Just let it out love, ok? I know it's hard," Killian said as he ran his hand up and down her back. When he got back in the car, he grasped Emma's hand and then reached back and grabbed Elizabeth's small hand. Emma started to drive forward in the car, her right hand twitching in Killians.

"Love?" He asked gently, Emma looked up at him and met his sea blue eyes.

"Y-yes?" She muttered, wiping a tear onto her sleeve

"How about we go home and watch a movie with Henry and Elizabeth. Regina just texted me and told me she filled Henry in on everything," Killian smiled a bit, as he kissed Emma's lips before getting out of the car. Emma picked up Elizabeth and gently hugged her.

"Mama..." Elizabeth said. She could tell that her mom was sad and wanted to help cheer her up.

Emma and Killian unlocked the house and walked inside where Henry immediately pulled them into a hug.

"Mom.. Dad... I'm so sorry." He said as he pulled back, "I got the movie ready for you guys,"

"Thank you son, we appreciate it,"

"Thanks Henry." Killian said as he patted Henry on the back.

We watched the movie and I held Elizabeth softly in my arms. She was tired and I rocked her slowly. I gently kissed her forehead as she started to drift away.

"Em? How are you holding up?" Killian said quietly as he took a seat next to me.

"I would say fine, but I'm not fine. It's haunting me Killian. I feel like it's my fault..," Emma muttered under her breath.

"Oh Emma, it wasn't your fault. Don't think that, ok? We'll get through this. Together." Killian placed his hand on Emma's stomach and leaned over to kiss her cheek.

Emma leaned on Killian and got up to put Elizabeth in her crib.

"Night night darling," she said gently. Killian walked up to her crib and said.

" Goodnight little one, see you in the morning," He lead Emma to the room and they sat down. Emma put her hand on her stomach and Killian put his hand over hers.

They both got into bed and held hands. Emma raised the covers and kissed Killian one more time.

"Love you Killian."

"Love you too, love"

Holy cheese guys I am sooooo sorry for the late update. I got Wattpad to work again but it erased the whole chapter! So I rewrote it and then I forgot to publish it. I'll stop making excuses. I will update better I promise. Sorry about the wait 😞.
