Chapter 3

I'm going to reply to a couple of comments here that I was unable to reply to.

To the person that left the comment about Emma and Killian getting off on the wrong foot I'd say it was more so on Killian's part (and he does have a reason for it which will be revealed later) Emma on the other hand she just mostly ignored it. It also doesn't last long at all as you'll see in this chapter they get a bit more acquainted.

To the guest that said how I changed August to Liam in the last line thanks for bringing that to my attention I didn't notice but I've fixed it. I had originally written this story as an original with characters that I made up but I decided to make it into a captain swan fanfic. That is why it said Liam instead of August, I guess I forgot to change that when I was changing the story to OUAT style lol. Also you mentioned the movie The wedding planner and to answer your question no I am not using anything from that movie i've actually never even seen it.

sorry for the long AN I just wanted too reply to these two comments. Now to chapter 3, which is a bit longer than the other two, sorry if there are any mistakes. Hope you Enjoy. :)

8 months before the wedding

Killian was currently on his way to Emma's office for their meeting today. Milah was still at work and would be about 10 minutes late, so she and Killian decided to go separately so that he can at least go and get started with what they can do without her. He parks his car and goes inside the building, Ruby, Emma's assistant lets him know that Emma is currently meeting with someone and she'll be done in a few minutes to just take a seat. He sits down and looks around the room, he notices a stack of magazines on the table in front of him so he picks one up and starts looking through it soon realizing that its for kids birthday party ideas. He hadn't realized that she did more than just weddings Milah was the one who told him about her and how they had to get her to plan their wedding and of course he went along with it, he didn't even bother looking her up. Killian looks at his phone, ten minutes had passed he also saw that he had a message from Milah, letting him now that she just got out and will be there in about 10 minutes. He's a bit annoyed that she isn't here yet, while he is responding to her he hears the office door open and people walking out saying goodbye before leaving out of the building.

"Hey I didn't hear you come in," Emma says when she notices him sitting, "Sorry we went a little bit over time you weren't sitting here for a long time were you? Wheres Milah?"

"Don't worry about it I just got here, Milah just got out of work she'll be here in about 10 minutes." He says, hoping that she'd show up sooner because he really didn't want to be alone with Emma for a long time, Milah is usually the one who does most of the talking. There also wasn't really much they could do without Milah, so what were they going to do just sit there in an awkward silence? He just hoped she didn't tell him to go into the office maybe she won't hopefully she also didn't want to be alone with him.

"Ok we can wait for her in the office."

'Damn' he thinks but follows her anyway into the office. They sit in silence as she's pulling out all their stuff, he's avoiding eye contact with her keeping his focus on his hands or the door hoping Milah will walk though it, but she doesn't.

"Shall we start with the dress or hair and make up?" Emma asks jokingly with a smile, pulling his attention away from the door and towards her, she must have sensed his uneasiness.

At first he is confused but he immediately realizes she if joking so he decides to along with it, "The dress for sure I was thinking maybe something that will match my eye color. Do you have any catalogs?" Killian's says, which causes both of them to laugh.

His accent really came out when he said 'catalog' and it makes her wonder where he is from, "Where are you from Killian?"

"Ireland." he replies, "Drogheda to be more specific."

"I've always wanted to visit Ireland." She says, Ireland is on her top ten places she wants to visit sometime in her life. When she was in college she met a guy who was from Ireland and he would always tell her how nice it was there and how she should visit sometime and since then she wanted to go.

"You should, I think you'd really like it." he says feeling a bit more relaxed and thankful that she broke the awkwardness that was mostly coming from him. He doesn't know why he was so nervous he's actually usually a confident person but for some reason he had felt nervous around her.

"So what brought you to America?" she asks hoping her questions isn't to personal and doesn't bother him.

"University, but I stayed for Milah. The plan was to finish university here in the states and go back home but I met and fell in love with Milah so I stayed."

"Cute." Emma says, but based on her tone and expressionless face he is unsure if she means it or if she just said it.

"Where are you from Emma Swan?" he asks putting an emphasis on her name.

"Here." she replies simply, she had hoped that he wouldn't ask but she knew that he would given that she asked him and he answered.

"Here as in Storybrooke? Or.."

"Here as in the country." she says before he can finishes his sentence and hoping that he'd just leave it at that.

"Yeah I got that but where exactly?" he asks.

"Everywhere.. and nowhere."

"What exactly does that mean?" he's a bit confused by her answer, maybe she just doesn't want him to know where she's from its not like they're friends, but he did tell her where he was from. "Where's your family, I noticed you didn't have any pictures around and most people put up pictures."

He can see the pain in her eyes although it quickly disappears he knows it's there well hidden. He knows that pain all to well the pain of being abandoned. Before he can bring it up she quickly changes the subject, "So I was thinking we could look at photographers and videographers today and try and book someone, unless you guys already have someone."

"No we don't. We can look for that today. I wonder where Milah is," he says picking up his phone checking for any messages and just as if on cue Milah walks into the building and into the office apologizing for being late and asking what she missed.

"Nothing we were just getting started, were looking for photographers and videographers." Emma replies

"Oh good." Milah says happy that she didn't miss anything. They look at different photographers trying to decide who they want to document their big day. They couldn't decide on anyone, they wanted to make sure whoever they choose was perfect for the job and didn't miss a second of the wedding.

"You don't have to choose today but I actually have other clients coming in about 10 minutes. I'm available Thursday anytime after 1 so if you guys want we can go meet with some of these photographers in person and you can see more of their work which will make making a decision easier." Emma says to them.

"Yeah that sounds lovely." Milah says, "Maybe at 3? I'll be out of work by then."

"Ok we can meet here and go in my car or if you prefer we can go in separate cars just let me know before Thursday."

They say goodbye then Killian and Milah leave. Emma puts everything away and gets ready for her next meeting which starts shortly after.

It was Thursday and Killian, Milah and Emma were currently on their way to meet with possible photographers for the wedding. They had decided that they would meet up at Emma's office and they would all go in her car. They were driving out of Storybrooke to Boston where there were many great photographers they had seen online.

"Maybe we should have just asked Sidney Glass, that way we didn't have to drive out of town." Killian jokingly says from the back seat of the car.

"Sidney Glass as in the newspaper guy?" Milah asks.

"Yes it would have saved us a trip.. and some money" he adds.

"Says the guys who claimed he didn't have a budget." Emma says looking at him through the rearview mirror. He looks at her and smiles which she returns before turning her attention back to the road.

Once they arrive in Boston they go and meet with the first photographer. He was an older man named Greg Norton who had fantastic work but he had never done a wedding and Killian and Milah wanted someone who has, so they thanked him for his time then headed out to meet with others. They met with many who they liked and even some they didn't but they had still not found the one they wanted to document their wedding.

"We've met with five different photographers already and none of them felt right, maybe we should just ask Sidney Glass." Milah says losing hope that they will find someone.

"We'll find someone don't worry we won't have to ask Sidney." Killian says trying to cheer her up.

"Yeah and we still have three other to meet with." Emma adds.

They leave to go meet with the next person. These people do both photography and videography and have done weddings many times before. They look around at their previous work from weddings and Milah is in awe at how beautiful their work was.

"So what do you guys think?" Emma asks as she walks up to the couple.

"We love them but are they available?" Milah asks hoping that they are because she really has her heart set on these photographers and didn't want to have to go searching for someone else.

"They are. They charge $6,800 and to book them you have to put a down payment of at least $3,500." Emma says to them.

"Right now?" Killian asks.

"If you can then yes it's best that you do it now because if you wait then someone else may book them for that day." she looks at the couple who are looking at one another and she can sense that they are not in agreement about these photographers.

"I'm not feeling it." Killian admits, which surprises Milah.

"What? They're amazing you saw their work, what about them are you not feeling." Milah asks confused, she was in love with their work and though Killian was too.

"I'm just not." Killian says with annoyance in his voice, "You know I don't understand you Milah when I was agreeing with everything you wanted you got mad and told me to say what I really felt and now that I am your still getting mad about it. Maybe I should just stay quiet and let you decide everything."

"I'm going to let you two talk, I'll um I'll be over there." Emma says quickly before leaving to let them talk alone.

"What's wrong with these people is it the price? because we're not going to find someone good for anything less and what happened to your 'we don't have a budget' attitude."

"It's not about the money, like I said I'm just not feeling it. Lets just go meet with the next people and if we don't like them then we'll come back."

"Killian I'm tired and I just want to go home. They are the best we've seen all day and they're available. You heard Emma, If we leave someone else might book them we're not going to get this chance again, please Killian."

He thinks about it for a moment and decides there's really no point in arguing, so he decides to just give in and go with these photographers, "Fine" is all he says before walking away to Emma asking where they pay at.

After they do what is needed they leave and head back to Storybrooke. They had originally planned to have dinner somewhere in Boston but Emma feeling the tension between Killian and Milah lied and said she actually needed to get home because something last minute had come up with another client. In reality she just didn't want to be brought in between their fight, which has happened in the past before. Whenever a couple is arguing they love to bring her into it which she hates because she already has her own problems to deal with she doesn't want to have to deal with other people's, unless of course it's about her work. When they get back to Storybrooke to Emma's office they say goodnight and go their separate ways.

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed. Reviews help. Next Chapter will have more Captain Swan and less Milah. I'll try and update on the weekend if I can but hopefully sooner. I've already started writing it just need to add more when I have time. :)

BTW I'm American so I don't really know how to write Killian as Irish so if he doesn't sound Irish i'm sorry for that, but I'll try my best and make him seem Irish.

Fact: Colin O'donoghue is from Drogheda, Ireland

Fact 2: I really want to visit Ireland I hope I get the chance someday.

Fact 3: I looked up wedding photographers and it said it can run anywhere between 2,500-10,000 depending on experience so I went with 6,800.
