A/N: Let me know what you think!

Emma sat alone in her office looking at the picture of her and her Killian on her desk. The picture was from the last time he was home. They were sitting on the beach, he had his arm around her and her head was resting on his shoulder as they watched the sunset. The unsuspecting couple didn't realize that their friends had taken the photo until they gave it to Emma when she was missing him. Just then her phone rang, she picked it up.

"Emma Swan, Sheriff's office how may I help you?" She said.

"Emma! Wanna come and have a cookout with the gang tonight?!" Her friend, Mary Margaret had said.

"Sure Mary Margaret..." Emma accepted wanting to get her mind off Killian who had been gone for a whole year and wasn't expected to come back for another year. After work, Emma went to her friends house after she changed into something a little more party like. When she arrived, she heard them from the front of the house and went around the back. They saw her and there were hugs all around with big smiles and happiness in the air. Emma had almost forgotten to think about Killian...almost. About halfway through the party the friends were having a great time but it was getting cool. So the party was moved inside. But before it was Mary Margeret and her husband, David called for an announcement.

"Well first off, I want to say I'm so happy that you are all here. Second of all, I have a very special present for everyone." Mary Margeret said. They all followed the couple inside.

"Emma!" David said, "can I talk to you?" She went off to the side with him.

"We want you to go in first because your our best friend." Then Emma was shoved by many hands into the room backwards.

"Well, don't you look stunning, Swan" a so very familiar voice said behind her. Her hands went to her mouth and tears came to her eyes. She turned on the spot and saw him.

"Killian..." She whispered.

"Hello swan..."

"OH MY GOSH! KILLIAN!" She ran to him and jumped into his waiting arms. She kissed him hard on the mouth.

"What are you doing here?!" She said after pulling away.

"I'm home early they sent me home." She then turned on the spot to glare at Mary Margaret and David,

"You..." The couple chuckled as did Killian.

"Your face was priceless swan..." He said.

" I love you" she said and kissed him again.

"I love you too, Emma"
