Fear for her unborn child, a bruised and broken Emma Swan is determined to escape an abusive marriage. After she drives a long way from home to a small town in Maine, she doesn't think her life could get more complicated... that is until she ends up falling for her OBGYN, a blue-eyed British man who's shielded his heart from love long ago. But he may be just what she needs to begin her healing process and start a new life for her child. If only nothing gets in the way. Rated M for a mild violence, language and eventual smut *TRIGGER WARNING* Mentions of physical and verbal abuse towards a pregnant woman. This is something that's been in my head for and wasn't sure if I should write it, but finally did anyway. And just to be clear, Killian is very professional and not some pervert using his position to get into Emma's pants. Killian helps Emma and comforts her while she tries to deal with her emotional scars. There won't be sex in the stirrups - this is not that kind of fic. ~~~ Reviews from AO3 & Fanfiction "Wow, I'm in love with this story already. I cannot wait to read more. Wonderful job." "Looking forward to the new story! I like the premise and the start so far. I definitely get how Emma is afraid to trust anyone. And yeah I would feel the same way if I saw a Doctor looking like Killian come take care of me! Haha. Great job! Looking forward to more!"
