My Captain

Discussion

*Emma's POV *

I woke again, much easier this time, thankfully, to find Killian still asleep. I got up slowly,  careful not to wake him. We'd both been having horrid nighmares, mostly of losing eachother, so I left my pajamas next to him as I got in the shower. I was hoping they smelled enough like me to keep him asleep for a while longer. I was wrong.

Just as I finished wringing out my hair and wrapping a towel around myself, I heard the yelling. I rushed back to our room to find Killian thrashing in his sleep. I did the only thing I could think to. I sat next to him and layed my torso over his and holding down his arms. I screamed his name over and over until his eyes shot open. I moved a hand from his arm to his cheek, "hey, it's ok," I said quietly. His eyes met mine and in a split second I was in his arms. His lips crashed to mine. I pulled away for air but was soon pulled right back to him.

Once Killian pulled away, I knew his dream was chased to the back of his mind. "Hey," I said, taking his face in my hands. "Everything's fine. Why don't you go shower and I'll make breakfast. I'll make your favorite." I smiled sadly at him. He just nodded and got up. He wouldn't look at me, so I grabbed his hand and brought him back to me. I smiled and kissed him softly. He smiled a little and I let him go this time, I went to make pancakes.

For some reason, I couldn't shake this dream. Emma dying at our wedding. Maybe it seemed so real because of the ring I kept in my pocket. I was trying to find the right time, and I still had to talk to her family about it. Their blessing was too important to her for me to skip over. I stood with my back to the bedroom door and pulled out the ring. It was a rather large diamond with a sapphire and another diamond on each side. I was thinking about if I'd gotten the right one when I heard footsteps behind me and put it away quickly.

I set breakfast on the table, wondering what was taking Killian so long. I walked in the room to find him dressed and standing by the window, quickly putting something into his pocket. He turned around, wiping worry off his face and wrapping his arms around me. I returned his embrace and kissed his cheek. "C'mon, foods on the table," I said and he grinned.

We ate and talked and laughed. But when we finished, Killian surprised me in saying he had some things to attend to. Nevertheless, I kissed him goodbye, reminding him that date night started at 7 that night. He just laughed, "How could I forget."

*Killian's POV *

I decided during breakfast that morning that today was the day. I was going to propose to my true love. I just had to get the family blessing first...

I knocked on the door, expecting David, but was greeted by Henry. "Hey Killian, where's mom?" "Good morning lad. I actually came to talk to your grand parents and well, you." He looked confused but invited me in, calling for his grandparents. After greetings, I explained my intentions, and the room fell silent.

Snow's face was full of joy and her eyes full of tears. Henry was grinning at me, surprising me with a huge hug. David, however, looked confused. I wanted so badly to rush his decision, but I knew that was never a good plan.

"Well, Hook, looks like I'll just have to get used to you. If you make her happy, and obviously Henry's okay with it, then you have my blessings. On one condition." He paused and I nodded with a huge smile on my face. "If you hurt her, I have the right to beat the Crap out of you." Snow scolded him, but I just laughed. "Sounds about right, mate. But I do need your help with the plan for this evening."

Snow's phone went off just then, and she grinned as she looked at what I assumed was a text message. "David, Henry, help him. Emma wants my help finding a dress for tonight." Snow said, immediately getting up and leaving.

*Emma's POV *

Ugh, why was I so nervous? Probably because I had found Killian's ship and cloaked it at the docks. We usually went there for date night so I was going to show him that night.  If I could find anything to wear!

My mom came in with a stupid grin on her face, but refused to elaborate on its origin. "Okay, mom, here's my dilemma. I'm showing him that I found his ship tonight, so I want to look super nice so it's special." She grinned even more. "Then I guess we're going shopping."

I usually hated shopping, but I actually had a lot of fun. I tried on just about every dress in the store, desperate to find the perfect one. We finally found a lacy Navy blue one that hugged all the right places but had a full skirt. Shoes were another problem. I quite enjoyed being shorter than Killian, so I didn't want super high heels, but flats weren't nice enough. We eventually found one inch strappy heels that matched amazingly well.

It was 1 o'clock when we finished, so we decided to get lunch before she helped me get ready. "So, how's it going with you two anyway" my mother asked with a smile. I grinned, blushing and avoiding her eyes. She laughed, " that well, huh?" I just laughed. "Any plans for the future?" She asked, taking me off guard.

I was shocked at the question and struggled to answer. "Uh, I uhm, don't really know. I mean, I definitely love him, we just never talked about it..." I trailed off. "Well, what do you want?" She asked pulling me away from my thoughts. "Do you want to have a life with him and stuff like that?" I thought about it only a moment more, then smiled at her, finally meeting her eyes. "More than anything."

After a discussion that had me stuck in my thoughts, my mom and I headed back to my apartment. She curled my hair as I did my makeup. I never felt the need for heavy makeup when it came to Killian. He made me feel beautiful even first thing in the morning. He made me feel special even in neverland. I smiled at the memory. My mom slid my dress over my head, careful of my hair and makeup, and laced up the corset back.

I was ready, so I walked my mom home, hugging her and thanking her for all her help. It was 6:45, so I headed to the docks to meet Killian.
