Hello there, it looks like doctor/patient au stories became my favourite. I am here with another story. I wanted to wait till I finish „Losing Myself, Finding You" before I post this but I couldn't. I was too excited not to share it with you. I hope you will like this story. Xoxo

P.S. I promise I will update both stories as frequently as I can.

Thank you, RonisGirlSQ for editing this chapter.

Blind Love

Blindness, life in complete darkness. There are people who take everything for granted and don't appreciate a single thing in their lives. Once they lose something they realize the price of what they had. When Emma Swan lost her sight she thought it was the worst thing that could have ever happened to her but soon she realized that it wasn't. Emma just turned 28 years old and the big celebration of her birthday brought few of her closest friends to her house where she lived with her parents. Mary and David. Everyone got her a little present, it was mostly music, because she was a complete music nerd. Some of the cd's were audiobooks. Her friends knew how much she has loved reading when she could see.

"Happy Birthday, Emma," Mary was one of the last people who came to shake her hand and wish a bunch of love, luck and all the things people usually wished for their beloved to get. Emma's life wasn't easy but she was always cheerful and tried to live her life with a smile. With joy in her heart and relied on her ears when enjoying good music. Emma was a beautiful girl and if her blindness wasn't an obstacle for most of the people she liked she would have been dating someone by now. She would probably be married. She had long blond hair, blue eyes and a firm body many of the girls in the town could envy. She was quite tall and her skin was pale, soft and clean.

Unfortunately many people in her surroundings didn't know how to deal with a blind person and for some it wasn't even imaginable to share their life with someone like Emma. For a blind person Emma was quite independent and could do everything other people were doing. She could join them for a walk, she could dance with them at parties, she could listen to movies that they were watching. The only thing she wished for at her birthday party was a chance to see again and if it wasn't possible then she wished for people to act normal in her presence. She wasn't sick, she wasn't crazy. She was blind and it didn't make her less intelligent or clever. If only people didn't underestimated her.

"Thank you friends. Thank you Mom and Dad for such a nice party," she couldn't hide how happy she was now for having her friends and family by her side. They all were in the living room, some of Emma's friends were sitting on a sofa, her mom and dad were at the table preparing the food for everyone. Killian Jones, Emma's good friend got up from the sofa and went to Emma.

"I believe you deserve another hug, Swan," he said as he embraced his friend. When he met Emma he had fallen in love with her. After few months of their friendship he opened up to her about his feelings. Emma broke his heart telling him that she will never fall for a man. He understood and accepted it. What else he could do, right? Emma Swan played for another team and it was perfectly ok. For everyone. A few weeks after Killian told her that he loved her she decided to come out of the closet and told all of her closest friends and her parents. They accepted it because they loved Emma the way she was. It was amazing having such supporting people around her. Emma hadn't always been blind. She was in an accident and a head injury caused the loss of her sight. She suffered from a couple of severe infections in her eyes and everything led to the condition she was now in.

Emma Swan wasn't always a good girl. She would tease people, she would put people in weird situations, she would joke around to mess with her friends. After she had the accident everything has changed. She had changed.

"Ok everyone, it's time for me to give my daughter her last present," David announced walking towards Emma who was sitting next to Killian on the sofa. She rose and waited for her father to reach her. He took Emma's hands into his and took a deep breath. "Emma, I know how much you would like to see again and me and your mother have put some money together for you so you can have the surgery that could give you your sight back," David said as he pulled a stunned Emma into a tight hug.

"Oh my god, I don't know what to say," Emma said while sobbing into her father's shoulder.

"Don't say anything just use the money. Nothing would make us happier than the thought of you being happy," Mary said and joined the father-daughter hug. As they embraced each other Emma's friends started clapping their hands and joyfully dancing around the hugging trio.

"This is the best present ever," Emma said pulling away from her parents. "No offence, guys," she looked where she thought her friends were and smiled.

"It's true, Emma," Ruby agreed not being able to stop dancing because she shared Emma's joy.

The party was great, her parents made sure everyone was well fed, well entertained and when all of Emma's friends left their house, Mary and David sat down with Emma to enjoy the rest of the evening on their own.

"I can take you to see a doctor tomorrow so we can start planning the surgery as soon as we can," Mary suggested as Emma nodded enthusiastically.

"I would like that," she said and smiled. Emma finished her meal, kissed her parents good night and went to her room were she wanted to just lay down and imagine the moment when she opens her eyes and can see the people, the objects, the colours. She put one of the CD's she got as a present into her stereo and laid down on her bed. It didn't take long and she was completely lost in her thoughts and in the tones of the music that filled the room.
