Killian lay awake, staring at the ceiling. What a curious idea it was to love someone indeed. To meet them and somehow decide that, you would care for them and cherish them. Funny how a complete stranger could somehow become your partner in life. The whole concept dumbfounded him, yet he was so sure that this is what he felt for Emma. For her, he would gladly give up his right hand, an arm and a leg. Hell, he would give his own life for Emma. What he felt for her was so profound, something he hadn't felt since….Milah. Tears welled up in his eyes at the thought of his lost love. But he knew that she would have wanted him to find love again. And he did. He kept reliving the night he stayed over with her, after the ice cave. How she had desperately clutched to him for warmth, reassurance, compassion. Oh yes, his pirate days were over. He gladly traded his ship for her and he would do it a thousand times over, if given the chance. He wished that he could simply roll over in his bed to find her warmth beside him, but sadly, that was not the case. The night of the ice cave was a one-time thing, but he longed for that deep connection with her every night of his existence.

Emma awoke suddenly. She had the same dream about Killian as before, except this time that damned Snow Queen took part in his death. She started weeping, rolling over in her bed to find Killian's embrace. But all she felt was empty sheets. He wasn't there. No matter how much she longed for him to be, he wasn't. Somehow, that insufferable pirate had managed to break down any walls she had built to protect herself. She recalled Neverland. She thought about the torture she had put him through. Every time he would try to break through, to make some connection, she used Henry as an excuse for pushing him away. She cried more still, and to her surprise, the bedroom door creaked open. The person on the other side of it was David. "Why are you crying, Emma?" He asked with deep concern. She tried to answer, but her words were muddled beneath the sobs. David walked over to sit beside her on the bed, pulling her into his embrace, stroking her hair, and soothing her with reassuring words. "It's alright Emma. You're okay." Emma looked up at him. "C-can you stay with me tonight?" David smiled at her and crawled underneath the covers, kissing her forehead lightly. Emma snuggled deep into his arms. In many ways her father reminded her of Killian. But even though she loved her father dearly, she wished that it was Killian beside her.

David had been awake for fifteen minutes but hadn't gotten up, not wanting to disturb Emma. She snuggled further into his arms muttering "Killian….Killian…Killian" David would have to discuss that with her when she awoke. He waited for five more minutes until Emma finally stirred. He got up from the bed slowly and whispered "Breakfast will be waiting downstairs." She smiled at this kind gesture from her father, but she still could not get Killian out of her head. She loved him. And now she knew he felt the same about her, she couldn't figure out what was keeping them apart. She decided that she would ponder the question later, after she ate breakfast. She got up, got dressed and went downstairs to find a plate of eggs waiting for her along with Snow and David. Emma looked back and forth between her parents, knowing instinctively that they were up to something. "Emma…. About Killian…" Her mother began. Oh, no. "What about him?" Emma asked, eyeing her parents suspiciously. "Do you…. love him?" Snow blurted. Emma was taken aback by the sudden question. She and Killian had already confessed their love for each other, but she didn't know if she was ready to actually tell someone. "Yes." She said almost inaudibly. Her parents smiled at each other. "Then go be with him." David told her. Emma smiled at them, and hurried out the door.

Emma's heart skipped as she approached Killian's room at Granny's. She knocked on the door. After a moment, the door opened and Killian was standing in front of her. "I love you." She said. "And I love you." Killian said with a broadening smile. He pulled her in for a searing kiss. It was so full of passion, energy, restlessness. He had never kissed her that way before. He pulled her inside and shut the door behind him. They tumbled onto the bed. She broke the kiss suddenly. "Killian, this isn't what I came here to do." He searched her eye for a moment, looking for the slightest reason for him to continue, but he couldn't find one. "Killian I wanted to tell you that I love you and that I want you to be beside me every night. I love you. I've loved you since the Beanstalk. I just didn't know it." He smiled and gave her a hug. "Emma I've loved you since the first moment I saw you. And I'll love you until my last. She smiled and in that instant, she knew that they were going to be together until the end of time.
