It was the middle of July and Emma Swan was getting ready to finish up her last week of her summer class at NYU. She was also getting ready to travel down to Orlando with her boyfriend of almost 5 years, Killian Jones. Emma and Killian were taking a trip down to Disney World and Universal Studios to celebrate their 5 year anniversary the last week of July. She couldn't wait to be done with school and go on vacation with her handsome boyfriend. Emma was just getting out of class and headed back to the off campus apartment that she shared with one of her best friends, Ruby Lucas. When Emma enters her apartment she sees Ruby relaxing in their living room.
"Hey, Em. How was your morning class?" Ruby asked her friend when she saw her enter their apartment.
"It was pretty good. Just ready for it to be over. How was your morning at home?" Emma asked.
"It was good. I'm glad it's summer. Are you all packed and ready to leave for Orlando with Killian next week?"
"Almost, I still have a couple of things that I need to gather up and pack. I'm so excited to get out of New York City for a couple of weeks. It should be a lot of fun!" Emma replied, the enthusiasm for their trip to Disney evident in her voice. When Killian first brought up the idea of taking a trip to Disney for their anniversary to her a couple of months ago, Emma didn't know if she should be excited or nervous. Killian NEVER planned their vacations, it was usually always her of their friends. She figured he had something special planned for this trip if he was willing to spearhead the planning and not let do anything with the planning except pick their dinning and fast pass reservations for Disney. He hadn't even told her what resort they would be staying in once they got to the Disney property. Needless to say, Emma was excited and ready for this vacation with her handsome, sweet man.
E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~
Killian Jones was busy planning the surprise of a lifetime for his girlfriend of almost 5 years. She thought they were just going on vacation to celebrate their 5 year anniversary, but little did she know he was planning on proposing to her on their Disney World vacation, AT Disney. He hoped that she would be surprised and that she would say yes. He had arranged for them to visit with their best friends that lived in Orlando and attended school down there, Regina and Robin. They hadn't seen the couple in almost a year, so he knew that she would be excited to see one of her best friends again.
Killian hadn't let Emma in on any of the planning other than dinning reservations for the parks, in hopes of keeping everything a secret and a surprise for her. He really wanted this trip and this proposal to go off without a hitch. But before he could ask Emma to marry him, he needed to speak with her parents, David and Mary Margaret Nolan. David and Mary Margaret had adopted Emma when she was only three years old. He knew he wouldn't be able to see them in person before they left on their trip in the next 2 weeks, so he had arranged a FaceTime date with the two so he could speak with them and hopefully get their blessing to marry their daughter. He sat his computer up and signed into his FaceTime account and sat everything up for the call he had scheduled to make in just a moment. Even though he and Emma had been dating for almost 5 years and they grew up together, he was still nervous that her parents wouldn't approve of them getting married at such a young age. He ran his hands through his black hair in an attempt to make it look less wild as he waited on her parents to answer the call. When they finally answered he was glad to see them.
"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Nolan! How are you guys doing this morning?" Killian asked as he saw his girlfriend's parents' faces appear on the screen in front of him. Mary Margaret was as smiling and happy as ever and David looked worried with the sudden scheduled phone call from their daughter's boyfriend. He thought something may have been wrong with Emma.
"Hello Killian! How many times have we told you to call us Mary Margaret and David? We're practically family! How are you doing today?" Mary Margaret answered after Killian popped up on the screen.
At the same time, David said "Killian is everything alright with Emma? You don't usually schedule a FaceTime call without her unless something is wrong."
"As far as I know, nothing is wrong with Emma, she had class this morning and she said she was going to go home and pack and maybe take a nap. She was really tired when she got out of class this afternoon. And yes, Mary Margaret, we are practically family," Killian said with a smile and a hint of a laugh. "That's actually what I wanted to speak to you guys about. Without Emma here."
"Well we're glad she's okay. You had us worried for a minute. We haven't talked to her in a couple of days. And what's that Killian? She's not pregnant is she?" Mary Margaret asked kind of worried for her daughter.
"Oh, no ma'am, at least not that I know of," he said with a small chuckle, to which David glared at him. "I actually wanted to talk to you guys about something without Emma before we leave for our trip next weekend."
"Well what did you want to talk to us about if Emma's not pregnant?" David asked, a little relieved that his daughter was indeed not pregnant.
"I actually wanted to ask for your guys blessing in asking Emma to marry me. I want to propose while we're on vacation, but I wanted to speak with you guys properly before I did it, and this is as close as I could get to see you in person before we leave," Killian explained nervously, rubbing at the back of his neck as he spoke.
Mary Margaret and David's faces lite up in smiles and he could only hope that meant good news.
"Of course we approve of you asking Emma to marry you! How are you planning on asking her?!" Mary Margaret exclaimed with a big smile on her face.
"We've been waiting on you guys to make it official since you moved out to New York," David added with a small smile.
"Well I appreciate it very much. I wanted to do this the right way. I didn't want to ask her without talking to you guys first. That's actually part of the surprise. I have a bunch of stuff lined up for this trip that Emma doesn't have any clue about. We're going to meet up with Robin and Regina next weekend when we get there, that's one of her surprises. She knows that they are supposed to meet us at the parks one day for a day of fun and a late night dining reservation, but what she doesn't know is that we are going to meet up with them at the airport, spend a couple of days with them at their house on the beach, and then they are actually going to join us for the remainder of our trip on the Disney property. Hopefully they will be there at the moment I propose to capture that memory for us. But as far as Emma knows, they're just meeting up with us one day for rides and diner. As for how I'm going to ask her, I have this big speech planned for her while we're at Disney, and I'm going to ask her during one of the night shows in front of Cinderella's castle toward the end of our trip. I want her to be completely surprised and taken off guard. I don't want her to see anything coming until right before I pop the big question. What do you think?" Killian explained his plan with pride and hoped that her parents liked the plan as much as their friends did.
"Oh gosh! That's so sweet! Cinderella's castle is her favorite part of all four parks!" Mary Margaret exclaimed!
"Well I'm glad you guys like this plan and approve of everything. I'll keep you guys updated as the trip goes on. I'll let you guys get back to your afternoon. I've still got a lot of stuff to get done before we're going to be ready to leave next weekend!" Killian bid goodbye to Emma's parents after another promise to keep them up to date on the progress of the plan.
Now all that's left to do before they're ready to leave is double check the plans, finish packing, and pick up the ring from its safe holder, Killian's older brother Liam. He didn't want to keep the ring laying around his apartment just in case she found it so he asked his older brother to hold on to it for him.
E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~E&K~
Emma had been feeling off all day since she woke up that morning, and decided to lay down and take a nap after class. She couldn't figure out why she felt off all day and hoped that a good nap would make her feel better. Until she woke up in the middle of the afternoon with the sudden urge to throw up for no reason. Emma rushed into her bathroom and began throwing up the contents of her stomach until she knew she had nothing left to throw up. She really wished Killian was there to help her feel better at the moment. Once Emma was done throwing up, she brushed her teeth and headed out to the living room, where Ruby was still watching tv. She decided to lay down on the couch and curl up with Ruby and just watch tv for the time being. Hopefully she would feel better in the morning.
"Hey, Em, you okay? I heard you throwing up in your bathroom earlier, and you're not one to usually be sick. Do you need me to call Killian and have him come over? I know how much you like being around him when you don't feel good." Ruby asked with a worried look on her face. If Emma was sick them something was wrong because Emma hardly ever got sick.
