My Captain

Parties: Part 2

I'm going to start with Killian's POV of the end of the last chapter,  just telling you so there isn't confusion.

*Killian's POV*

Whatever bowling was, it made no sense. I heard someone mention cake after the gifts, but my attention was drawn to my Swan. She was walking quickly to the door with an expression it seemed only I recognized. She was overwhelmed, and even in the darkness all the way across the room, I could see tears threatening to fall.

I knew she was losing control of her emotions. I followed, of course. I got outside to find Emma with her head in her hands. I hate seeing her like this. All I could do was put my arms around her waist, and almost instantly she reacted. She turned and wrapped her arms around me. I held her tighter and buried my face in her hair as I felt tears soak my shirt.

We stood like that for a long time, but for me, that moment was perfect. She pulled away just slightly, looking at me with guilt written on her face. I gave her a small smile and a soft kiss, wiping her tears away.

As we started to walk back inside, I was surprised to find that she didn't pull away. Normally, she kept her affection for our private moments. But even as we sat back with the party, she stayed wrapped around me and sat on my lap. That was a first. She kept her head in the crook of my neck the rest of the evening. The crowd seemed to take the hint, leaving us to each other. We didn't speak, however. We sat in silence until people began to leave, and we soon followed their example.

*Emma's POV *

We had only just started walking home when it started to pour down rain. The guests all ran home or to their cars but Killian and I just looked at each other and laughed. The cool drops felt amazing on my overheated skin, but I shivered anyway.

Killian sheltered me in his jacket with him, but the rain didn't care. We were completely soaked. We hit main street and I came to a sudden stop, looking up at the thunderous sky. I didn't want to go back to the apartment.  It was so closed and almost suffocating sometimes. Then I got an amazing idea! I looked from the sky to Killian's eyes, "Can we go to your ship?" I asked with a smile. His eyes lit up like it was the fourth of July. "Of course!" He replied without hesitation.

As we stepped on deck I grinned. So much had happened here, both good and bad, but now it felt like home. It always smelled of sea and rum, much like the Captain himself, but without the intoxicating smell of leather and him.

I lay down up by the helm, face to the sky with my eyes closed. I love thunderstorms, I thought to myself as Killian sat next to me. I put my head in his lap, needing the closeness but never opening my eyes. "Its your ship now too, you know. You needn't call her mine" Killian said quietly, stroking my wet hair. "No," I smiled, "it'll always be yours. Just like me..." I trailed off, saying the last bit at barely a whisper.

He must have heard me, as he soon pulled me up into his lap, leaning his forehead on mine. I slowly opened my eyes to find him gazing at me with so much emotion, it took my breath away. "I will belong to only you until the day I die." He whispered and kissed me softly.

I grinned back at him, "And I will be yours. Always and forever." Killian kissed me again, this time harder, with more passion. Wildfire in the rain. When we finally pulled away, we were both breathing heavily. I rested my head in the crook of his neck once more, and drifted to sleep.

*Killian's POV *

As we walked onto main street, my Swan stopped suddenly, looking up to the sky. I'd have joined her but I could think of nothing that could be more beautiful than the woman standing in my emrace. She looked up with this expression of awe and wonder on her face, all worry wiped away. She then looked back at me with a fresh smile on her face, "Can we go to your ship?" I grinned. "Of course!"

We stepped on deck and Emma immediately walked to the helm and lie down. I sat next to her and she put her head in my lap. "Its your ship now too, you know. You needn't call her mine." I said quietly. Everything that was mine was hers. Including my heart.

"No," she smiled. "it'll always be yours. Just like me..." she trailed off, probably not meaning to say the last bit aloud. Weather she meant to or not, she said it, and my heart squeezed. I pulled her gently into my lap, putting my forehead to hers.

Her eyes opened, and my words came out before I gave them permission. "I will belong to only you until the day I die." And I kissed her softly. She grinned in return, "And I will be yours. Always and forever." We shared a rather passionate kiss before she settled in and fell asleep tucked into my neck.

The rain began to slow, just as dawn was breaking. Careful not to wake her, I carried Emma to my quarters. I gently changed her clothes into an old shirt of mine and boxers, trying not to stare at her beauty. I then changed my own clothes and settled into the bed, holding her close.

And that's how I fell asleep, dawn breaking with Swan nestled into my bare chest, and trying again to figure out what on earth a bachelor party was. All I knew was I better figure it out fast. David and Robin had mine planned for the next day...

Yay! Another chapter done! I'd love to know what you think or if you have any ideas of what you want to happen! And thank you all for reading! I love writing this, but I write it for you!
