Captain Swan One-Shots

Second Chance, Part 10a

"Are you sure you have time for this, Killian?" Emma asked her boyfriend as they walked out of the Cove.

He smiled as he answered, "Aye, love. You do know it's my day off."

With a roll of her eyes, she pointed out, "I know that, but you just got a new shipment of, like, everything. And you need to restock."

"I'll be fine, darling," Killian reassured her before he kissed the side of her head.

He then entwined his fingers with hers as he asked her, "What was the name of this bakery again?"

"The Pumpkin Bakery. The owner, Ashley, is a friend of Mary Margaret's - their kids are in the same daycare," Emma explained. She then smiled and added, "And she's amazing at what she does - I swear I've never had cakes or cupcakes so delicious."

Killian offered a smile of his own. He then told her, "Well, I can't wait to try it."

He then tilted his head and asked, "What kind of birthday cake did you get for Belle?"

"Her favorite," Emma answered as her green eyes roamed the various shops, restaurants, and other businesses.

With a raise of his eyebrow, Killian then questioned, "Which is what exactly?"

She turned to him with narrowed eyes. She then asked, "You don't know your sister's favorite cake?"

He shook his head. "Swan, we may be close, but need I remind you I've only known her a little over a year. I can't possibly know everything."

"Mm-hmm," Emma teased with a grin. She then let out a giggle.

Killian shook his head once more. He then surmised, "And you say I'm incorrigible." She only giggled once again.

When she sobered, she told him, "Anyways, her favorite cake is German chocolate with a layer of French vanilla icing."

"Hmm. That sounds rather delicious," Killian began. He then smiled and commented, "And it sounds exactly like Belle."

Emma squeezed his hand in response. He then spoke, "Ah, love, I did actually want to know what present you got Belle."

"A rose teapot to match the teacups she already has," Emma told him, and she couldn't help the smile that bloomed.

Killian smiled as well. He then tilted his head and surmised, "Those were her mother's, and one of them is chipped."

"Yeah. They're her favorites," Emma confirmed. She then chuckled and added, "And she now uses the chipped one to hold her bookmarks. I'm not really sure how they all fit in there."

With a chuckle of his own, he then replied, "Well, Swan, she can be quite determined when she wants to be."

The blonde hummed before she nudged his shoulder and teased, "So can you, Jones."

He tilted his head as he pointed out, "Swan, I'm pretty positive the last name bit has become my thing."

"Whatever you say, Jones," Emma teased before she leaned up and kissed his cheek. He couldn't help but shake his head.

She then glanced back around and stated, "We're here," pulling him into the bakery.

Ashley beamed when she saw her blonde friend. She waved before she came out from behind the counter.

She wrapped Emma in a quick hug. When they pulled away, Ashley spoke, "How is my second favorite detective?"

Emma crossed her arms over her chest and playfully accused, "What? I'm not the first?"
