The Princess and The Pirate

Swimming

Killian's POV

 I hear a knock on the door of me and Emma's room. I glance at Emma, who is sitting on the balcony. I'm worried about her. I open the door and I'm met with Snow and David's worried faces. "What's wrong?" I ask anxiously. 

"Victoria....she's escaped." I close my eyes and clench my jaw. 

"What? How?" Emma shouted. 

"We don't know. She somehow managed to get the key." David explains. She stands up. 

"She's going to come after us. We need to go to her and make her pay for what she's done." she exclaims, heading for the door. I stop her. 

"I'm not sure that's the best idea." I say. She gawps at me. 

"How can you say that? She's done so much evil. We need to stop her. Once and for all." 

"Swan, you're hurt and you aren't thinking straight. You can't just go after a completely deranged witch. Pain is blocking your judgement." I tell her.

She grits her teeth. "I'm fine, okay! I just want to destroy Victoria." 

"Hook's right." David said. I smiled at him. 

"I'm sorry. Did you just agree with me?" I gasp. 

"I guess you've grown on me a bit." 

"I tend to have that effect on people." David rolls his eyes. 

"Anyway, Emma you aren't in the right mindset to attack. We'll search for Victoria and you and Hook can relax." he says. 

"Relax?! How can I relax?! I can't just sit here. I need to do something!" Emma exclaims. 

"What about we go somewhere? Somewhere quiet and peaceful. Somewhere that will keep your mind off things." I suggest. "That sounds good." Snow says. They leave.

"We can't just leave. We need to do something." she says. I stroke her face softly. 

"We've been through a lot. We need to get away. I have a really good idea of what to do. You just need to trust me, Love." I explain. She sighs and squeezes her eyes shut, looking in pain. 

"I do trust you." she says. I smile softly and pull her into a tight, comforting hug. 

"I love you. So much." I whisper in her ear. "I love you too." I kiss the top of her head. 

Emma's POV

Part of me wants to hut Victoria down and make her pay for what she did. For killing me and killing my child. But, I know Killian is right. I know that it would be nice to get away for a day. From all the stress and pain. I cry into Killian's shoulder. Tears for my unborn child. My dead child. I never got to meet them. I never got to be happy about them. The first thing that I heard about our child was that they were dead. Gone. Like they never really existed in the first place. My dreams were filled with scenes of my child, which all ended in me loosing her. It's my fault. I couldn't protect my child. If I had been even a little bit stronger, they could still be alive. "It's okay, Swan. Everything is going to be okay." he whispers in my ear, holding my head. 

"Come on, Love. Let's go." he says, grabbing my hand. I nod and we walk out of our room. "Where are we going?" I ask. "It's a surprise." I can't help but smile slightly. Killian's face lights up. 

"There's that smile I love so much." I place my head on his shoulder and we walk out of the castle and head towards the stable. As we walk, I find my thoughts lead to my child. What would they have been like? Would they have had my eyes or Killian's? I hope they would have had Killian's. Would they be a boy or a girl? Would they have blonde or black hair? I obsess over the idea of our child. Killian grabs two horses. "You're going to ride this time, Swan." he says. Killian helps me up onto the horse and then gets on his one.
