Killian opened his eyes once more and he found himself at the docks just where he had been standing earlier that very same day the bright sunshine blinding his vision for a moment. Could it be, he had no idea how time travel worked. He seemed to be brought back to the place he was thinking of as he went through the portal. Killian quickly checked his pocket to his surprise the ring was still there he hadn't yet given it to Emma, and he wouldn't this time he would save her.
So what's up my dad said you wanted to meet me here'' asked Emma walking towards him
Killian forgot all this for a moment though when he turned around a smile lighting up his face putting the life back in him almost like his heart had just restarted.
"Swan" Killian gasped out running to her almost bowling her over as he embraced in a hug.
Killian rested his head on her shoulder he had never felt this much relief in his life. He pulled away looking into her eyes taking it all in she was here alive and well, that didn't stop him from double checking he's hand reached up to her check, she was real she was really here.
"Killian what is it what's wrong" asked Emma a little confused about Killians behaviour
"Nothing's wrong, it's perfect" Killian replied a smile in his voice he lent in as he said it kissing Emma now it was ruff he pushed her back a little in his embrace she pushed back leaning in to the kiss she pulled away then smiling.
"Easy tiger, what's gotten into you" asked Emma
"I'm just glad to see you Swan" Killian replied as they stared into each other's eyes
"If you looked at me any harder you're goanna drill a hole in my head" Emma said staring back at him smiling.
Killian looked down what could he say would she believe him, how much of the day should he change. He knew there was one person who could help him stop this day from ending the same way.
"What this meeting about then" asked Emma
Killian didn't know what to say he couldn't propose to her now not after what happened if he was doomed to be unhappy; he wouldn't let Emma be doomed with him. Killian walked closer to the edge of the dock now starring of into to horizon trying to think of what to say.
"Uh, I just wanted to tell you I'll be at the party tonight, your brothers naming ceremony" Killian finally answered it was a flimsy response but it was all he could think of. He had to be there tonight to make sure she didn't go see Neal he had to make sure the events of the day didn't repeat themselves.
"Ok, is that all, couldn't dad have just told me that" Emma replied
"Yeah well I guess I just wasn't sure if I would come" Killian replied smiling
Emma looked down, she thought they were past this keeping things from each other maybe this relationship wasn't as serious for him as it was for her who was she kidding. Maybe Killian needed more time she should let this go for now.
"I know that's not all you have to say, but its ok whenever you're ready" Emma replied smiling
"Swan uh" Killian started but he had nothing to say would she even believe him, from what very little he knew about time travel one thing was obvious, you should try at least not to change to much so when Emma suggested he walk with him to meet with Henry he knew he should as that's what he did the first time around plus he defiantly wouldn't be letting her out of his sight for a while.
Emma and Killian walked down to the ice cream shop all little less close then they had the day before Emma could sense Killians tension he looked like he was ready to pounce at the slightest sign of trouble, he was constantly scanning their surroundings barley paying attention to Emma, she noticed he was worried but she trusted Killian whatever was going on he would tell her when he was ready. Emma smiled as she saw Henry walking up they had got there just as he had, Henry looked a little confused though as they approached. Henry looked up at Killian and expectant expression it was more of question. Killian looked away this wasn't the kind of thing he wanted to burden Henry with but he knew someone who could help.
"Hey kid, what do you feel like rocky road" Emma asked smiling at her son
"Uh, yeah sure" Henry answered a confused tone
"I'll leave you to it then love, meet you at Granny's" Killian said kissing Emma on the check and reluctantly waving goodbye.
Killian didn't want o leave Emma but he had until tonight and he wanted back up if he was going to be sure he would be able stop what was going to happen. Killian walked off towards Granny's looking back at Emma lingering a little she was happy and he wanted more than anything to be a part of that but that wasn't his destiny. Besides he had a problem to solve. How was he going to convince his mate that he had already lived this day before?
Emma noticed that Henry was acting strange he was quiet as they ordered there ice cream and made their way out of the store into the street.
"What's up, you're quiet today" Emma asked Henry
"Nothing much, what's up with you did anybody ask you any questions today" Henry asked in a not so subtle attempt to figure out why there wasn't a ring on her finger had she said no or did Killian not even ask.
"No not much is up with me just excited to know the name of the baby so we can stop calling him hey there" Emma answered smiling.
"Yeah me too" said Henry smiling at his mother
The two of them continued down the streets of Storybrooke discussing the usual topics of video games and the best ice cream flavours, but at the back of Emma mind she was still wondering what was going on with Killian and Henry for that that matter there were both acting strange.
