Captain Swan- Then There Was Three

Chapter 10: Feelings

"Emma.. I know you're asleep, but thank you for helping me today love. I love you. Always and forever. And i'll always be here for my family." Killian says, slowly moving close to his wife, brushing the hair off of her forehead, and kissing her head softly.

He hugs her and places his hand over her stomach, as if to protect his little one. One. Only one.

His smile faded.. How could the world be so cruel, as to take his baby from him. An innocent life, growing, growing, and gone.

He prays that nobody will hurt this baby, and that nobody will ever bother his family.

He pulls the blanket over himself and Emma, and falls asleep holding her.

One Month Later

Love. It's a word with many meanings. It can mean happiness and closure. Or darkness and tears. It's beautiful, yet ugly. Big, yet small. Love is rare to find, but abundant in some places. And some love is weaker than others. You may find some cases weaker than others. You can love a food, or your family, or your lover. All three are different perspectives of love. Killian's love for Emma is beautiful. And abundant.

"Emma, love, it's okay.." Killian hugs Emma tightly and lays his head on top of hers.

She had started crying out of the blue. Yet she didn't know why.

"I-Im sorry baby.. I didn't mean to scare you..." She softly leaned into his chest. She felt safe in his arms.

"Mama sad.." Elizabeth crawled over and got up, then toddling over to her parents. Emma and Killian both look up in disbelief.

"Elizabeth.. You're walking!"

"I'm so proud of you!"

Elizabeth smiles brightly and runs over to her parents and flies into their arms. She smiles big, and then yawns.

"Long run huh?" Emma smiles slightly and picks elizabeth up.

"Emma please be careful.. you could hurt your back" Killian holds Elizabeth and kisses Emma softly. "I know I seem crazy.. but I don't want you getting hurt. You mean the absolute world to me."

Emma's smile could have gleamed across the world. She stood on her tip toes and pecked his cheek, blushing profusely.

Killian took Elizabeth upstairs, and played with her. Emma hoped they would clean up after, and giggled over how Killian was so excited. She was excited, but also scared.

She was scared she wouldn't be able to do it. And was scared that she would let Killian down.

"Emma stop" She muttered to herself, "Killian loves you.. And he's never truly left.."

Henry walks in the living room and sits beside his mom.

"Hey mom, what's up?" He smiles at her with reassuring eyes.

"Nothing much Henry, how was your day with violet?" Emma smiles and sits up to talk to her son.

"It was amazing mom! But i need to talk to you.."

"What's wrong?" Emma looks concerned

"Umm.. Er- How did you know you loved Dad?"

Emma smiles, as she knows what's going on. "Well, I felt amazing around him.. And I felt fuzzy inside. I would do anything for him, and I couldn't imagine my life without him."

"I think I'm in love Mom.." Henry blushes and smiles.

Emma smiles and hugs Henry tightly, and says "I know, I can tell by the way you two gawk at each other."

The day slowly ended, and everyone slept with relaxation.
