Thanks you for requesting this. I had so much fun writing this.
"I'm sorry I didn't hear you." Killian walked away.
Emma walked up the stairs behind him. "Come on. What's the worse that could happen?"
"I already said no." Killian continued to walk up the stairs.
"Really?"
Killian entered their bedroom and let himself fall on top of the bed. He covered his face with his hand.
"Bloody hell, Emma. Why did you ever think I was going to agree to this?" He spoke through his hand as Emma took a seat at the edge of the bed.
"Because it's something cute and adorable."
Killian quickly sat up. "Cute? That's not cute. My daughter wants to go on a date with Rumple's son. That's...it sounds like a nightmare."
Emma crossed her arms. "He's Alex. We love Alex. He's such a sweet kid. And you're acting as if they're gonna go to a club or drink at a bar. They're kids. Their idea of a date is nervously holding hands when they both reach for popcorn at the same time."
"Lily's 13. That's way too young to be dating."
"Killian, it's just one date."
Killian shook his head. "He's almost 15. He is way too old for her."
Emma laughed. "Do I really need to remind you that you are 300 years older than me?"
Killian stuttered his words. "That's -that's completely different."
Emma took Killian's hand.
"Lily is really excited about this. Do it for Lily?"
Killian looked away. "I don't know."
"They're having dinner here. Henry agreed to drive them to the movies and drive them back here. Nothing bad is going to happen."
"But what if-" Killian started and Emma interrupted.
"Lily will be fine. You have to give her trust and faith."
Killian chuckled. "Look who's convincing me about trust."
Ema nodded. "The tables have turned. So...do you agree?"
Killian scratched behind his ear. "Fine. But that movie better finish before 10 o clock."
Emma smiled and gave him a quick kiss. "You're the best."
She stood and hugged him. "I'm gonna go tell Lily."
"Is he here yet?" Lily yelled.
"No!" Killian yelled back for what seemed the 100th time.
He sat on the couch watching his four year old son Liam playing with building blocks.
"Look Daddy I made a castle." Liam said excitedly.
"That's very nice Liam." Killian said bouncing up his leg up and down. He simply glanced at what Liam had built since he was still nervous about Lily going on a date.
Liam frowned. "What's wrong?"
This made Killian react.
"Huh? Nothing little lad. Just a little nervous."
Liam titled his head not understanding.
"Why Daddy?"
Emma walked into the room and picked up Liam who giggled.
"Because Daddy is jealous that he won't be the only guy in Lily's life anymore." She smirked.
Killian was about to answer when there was knocking on the door.
"He's here." Emma almost sang while looking at Killian's reaction which was an unamused face.
Emma carried Liam in one hand and walked upstairs to get Lily. Meanwhile Killian sighed and opened the door.
At the door a smiling face greeted him. Alex stood at the door holding a bouquet of flowers.
"Hi Killian." His smile soon faded as he noticed Killian's unwelcoming face.
"Umm...these are for Emma to thank her for making dinner." He pointed to the flowers.
"I see. Trying to win over my wife as well" Killian spoke under his breath.
"What?"
"Nothing. Come in. Emma went to get Lily"
Alex felt awkward but walked into the living room.
"Did you see the game yesterday?" Alex asked trying to break the awkwardness.
This kid made it really herd to hate him Killian thought. Here he was trying to start a conversation as if nothing weird was happening. But before Killian could say something Lily and Emma walked down.
"Wow." Killian said without realizing Alex had said the same. Lily was wearing a blue dress that made her look simply stunning. She didn't look like his tiny little girl anymore.
Emma raised an eyebrow trying to get her husband to react.
"Killian. Why don't you set the plates for them?"
Killian awoke from his shock and left for the kitchen. Afterwards Emma served them, left the two alone in the kitchen and joined Killian and Liam in the living room.
"She looks so beautiful. Well even more than before." Killian stated as Emma sat next to him.
For the most part they spoke very little. Killian was the most quiet. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Hey Mom! Hi Killian." Henry greeted giving them each a hug.
"So I heard a couple needs a ride to catch a movie."
"They're not a couple." Killian pointed out.
"Okay Mr. Overprotective dad" Henry teased.
Killian shook his head. Henry was very alike his mother when it came to teasing someone especially if that someone was Killian.
Meanwhile in the kitchen Lily and Alex's date was going well. They talked like they always did since they were so comfortable with each other and nothing about the dinner was awkward. After they finished their dinner Henry drove them to the movies where they were going to watch their favorite superhero's latest movie.
Killian was also quiet when Alex and Lily had gone. Emma sat next to him and put her head on his shoulder.
"What are you thinking about? You've been so quiet."
Killian awoke from his silence trance and replied, "Lily grew up too fast."
"She wasn't gonna stay a little girl forever. Well unless we took her to Neverland."
"An excellent idea." He sighed.
"She'll be on her own in just a few years and leave me alone."
Emma gasped jokingly.
"What are Liam and I...chopped liver?"
"I mean she'll leave me without my little girl."
"Trust me she'll always be your little girl. My dad still loves calling me that and we're basically the same age."
Killian didn't say anything.
"Killian. The kids are growing up but we'll never leave them. We'll always be in their life and trust me no matter how old they get they will still need us. Henry's all grown up and he is always around. You don't need to worry."
This made Killian smile. Thinking about how proud he was going to be of kids when they were all grown up and independent. Emma was right. She wasn't going to stay a tiny child forever. Things were changing and it didn't necessarily have to be bad.
He looked at his watch.
"5 minutes until 10." He said aloud.
"And you're still going to play overprotective dad huh?" Emma laughed.
"It's not being overprotective...it's being a father." He got up and looked out the window. Lily and Alex were getting out of Henry's car and walking towards the house. Killian hid and slightly peeked through the curtains.
Alex took Lily's hand.
"That was really fun. I'm glad you decided to come on a date with me." He said.
Lily also held onto his hand and smiled.
"I had more fun than I thought I would today. I'm also glad I came."
Alex nervously ran his hand through his hair.
"Maybe we could do it again someday."
"Yea someday." Lily couldn't stop smiling.
"Well...ummm goodnight. I'll see you." Alex said about to leave.
Lily almost walked through the door but Alex called out.
"Hey Lily."
"Yea?" She answered walking back to him.
He walked closer to her inches from her face when suddenly there was knocking on the window.
"Goodnight Alex!" Killian called out.
Embarrassed Alex looked at the ground and waved goodnight.
Emma shook her head and Killian smiled. Okay fine. Perhaps he was overprotective. But he didn't want Lily to grow up just yet.
Thank you for the requests. I'll keep writing based on your ideas and I'll try to do it as soon as possible.
