It was a picturesque sunshiny afternoon down by the docks of Storybrooke Killian felt nervous as he stared off into the horizon waiting, for what seemed like forever for he's date to show up, he had never been this scared in his life the only moment that can compare is the conversation he had with David last night but as he saw Emma walk into view he's heart starting racing the adrenaline pumping he knew he was defiantly more nervous now. Emma smiled as she looked up at Killian but also a little confusion what was this all about.
"So what's up my dad said you wanted to meet me here, I've got to meet Henry in a minute were going for ice cream" asked Emma.
Killian couldn't stand still he was quiet pacing a little now "uh I have something I wanted to ask" Killian answered.
"What is it, is something wrong, are you ok?" asked Emma a little worried she could see something big was going on she just didn't know how big.
"Come on I've got something to show you" Killian said reaching for Emma's hand
Emma and Killians walked hand in hand along the docks, towards the end of the pier, were white rose petals lay along the ground and a view of the ocean out in front of them seemed to reflect the colour of the sky it was beautiful. Emma looked down at the rose petals raising her eyebrows. Then she realised.
"oh my god" Emma gasped
Killian took a deep breath smiling starring into Emma's eyes, ''Emma Swan I've known since we first meet that you were someone special, you sore straight through me, straight to my soul and knew that I could be a better man granted it's been a long road since that day on the beanstalk but I wouldn't trade a day for a chance to say I'm in love with you, I promise to love you, every moment forever.
Killian paused and took a deep breath as he got down on his knee now and pulled out a beautiful silver ring with a tiny ruby at its centre.
"Emma swan will you marry me" asked Killian he's voice cracking a she did
Emma gasped tears running down her face now a smile breaking through getting wider "Yes Killian, I will marry you" Emma answered
Killian stood up placing the ring on Emma's finger and the two embraced Killians hands on Emma's checks, leaning in for a kiss soft and tender but growing more intense their arms wrapping around each other now breaking away ever so slightly.
"I love you" Emma barely got out in between kisses
"I love you too" replied Killian
Emma grabbed Killian pulling him in closer again there body's entangling, Killian almost fell back as Emma lent in for more the broke apart ever so slightly their foreheads touching smiling as they looked into each other's eyes, he couldn't believe she had said yes he thought how could he get his happy ending after everything he had done, Killian had never felt this much love he had his happy ending and he knew that everything was going to be ok from now on because he had Emma and she had him.
"Now how are we going to break this one to my dad" Emma said giggling
"It's ok Swan already taken care of had a nice talk with him last night" replied Killian
"Well good that you're on top of things, you didn't tell mum though I want to tell her" Emma said excitement in her voice.
"No no I told Dave to keep it to himself but I don't know how much longer he can hold it in I think his avoiding it hiding out at Granny's setting up for tonight's party, while your mother is back at the apartment" Killian said
"Well I've still got to meet Henry as well so we better be quick then" Emma said with a grin
"Quick with what" replied Killian confused
Emma's eyes darted towards the Jolly Roger a place familiar to the couple with Emma's living situation being a little crowded since she got back from New York it was the only place where they could have some alone time. Killian raised his eyebrows a grin on his face. They then resumed to their embrace kissing passionately, Emma already beginning to remove Killians leather coat as they heading into the captains quarters of the Jolly Roger.
Emma and Killian walked through the streets of Storybrooke, arm in arm. Emma was so happy. She knew something had been up with Killian in the past week but she never thought this. It was perfect timing though, with the Wicked Witch no longer a problem and the party tonight, her family together again, it seemed like everything was perfect. Emma kissed Killian goodbye as they got to the ice cream shop where she was meeting Henry. She was excited but a little nervous to tell Henry the news. Killian went off to Granny's to give them a moment alone and tell David the good news. They planned to meet there later, after Emma went to see Snow.
As Killian walked off he exchanged a grin with Henry, Emma noticed the gesture and walked over to her son, a beaming smile on her face. There was silence for a moment as Emma took a deep breath.
"Sorry I'm late. I got umm caught up'' Emma said, trying not to laugh.
"It's ok; I already got your ice cream. It's Rocky Road'' Henry said as he handed Emma an ice cream cone.
They walked for a moment, going in the general direction towards their apartment. The pair was silent, focusing on eating their ice cream.
"Henry I have sort of.. big news. I hope you're happy about it but if you're not, it's ok. We can talk about it.'' Emma said, nervously.
"Mom just tell me already" replied Henry rolling his eyes and grinning.
"Killian and I are engaged" Emma spurted out, smiling widely and holding out her new ring finger.
"You said yes" Henry almost yelled
"Yeah, I. Wait how did you know?" Emma replied. She was confused and the expression she wore showed it.
"Me and Hook went looking for a ring weeks ago" replied Henry.
"You knew all this time?" Emma said, surprised.
"Did you really think he would propose to you without talking to me about first?" asked Henry with a sceptical look on his face.
"No. I suppose not. I'm just so I don't know..." said Emma, glancing once more at her ring.
''Happy?'' Henry said smiling at his mother obvious joy.
"So you're ok with this then?" asked Emma.
"Of course if it makes you happy" replied Henry, shaking his head. He was slightly surprised she felt she had to ask, "But I'm not calling him dad" he added.
They both laughed and hugged each other. Everything was falling into place; the only thing left to do was to share the good news with her mother and father. Emma was almost running to the apartment with Henry now too excited to wait.
Emma burst into the apartment startling Snow still smiling he face was almost starting to hurt from it, Snow was on the step ladder getting decorations of the shelf in the kitchen she smiled as she saw her daughter running in.
"Oh good you guys can help me take these over to Granny's, I don't know where David is he's acting weird today" Said snow a little annoyance in her tone
Emma got over to her mother just as she lost her footing on the ladder, Emma held her for support so she could make her way down the step ladder safely.
"Never mind that, I have amazing news" Emma said placing the box in Snows hand down on the counter and turning to face her.
"What is it" replied Snow intrigued
Emma held up her hand to show her ring, grinning at snow.
"Me and Killian were" Emma answered but she didn't quite get all the words out as Snow was a little too enthusiastic about the great news.
"Uh Oh my!" Snow said smiling hugging Emma almost bowling her over, holding her tight for a bit too long something Emma was still getting used to
"Congratulations" said snow as she broke of the hug now, tears running down her face.
Emma was crying now too, happy tears the smile not leaving her face and they both went in for another hug, almost forgetting Henry was there they were startled when he appeared sitting on one of the stools by the bench smiling at them.
"Huh David knew, didn't he" said Snow a little shocked annoyed
It only lasted a moment however as she smiled again at Emma and told her to recite the entire story from the begging leaving out no details. But with Henry there some details would defiantly be left out.
