Date Night

Henry was spending the night with Regina, Roland, and Robin. Emma thought it would be nice to give Mary Margaret and David some privacy so they could have some time to themselves, and went over to spend the evening with Killian. Really, it was as much for her as it was for them, but she could pretend she was being selfless.

Granny's was pretty empty. Even with the curse broken Storybrooke wasn't a frequently visited town. Emma and Killian had full use of the guest sitting room, and they started a fire and curled up on the couch. Emma was content to just rest her head on Killian's chest, while he had his left arm around her. His right arm held a book, which every few minutes he would have to put down to turn the next page. It was the little things, Emma noticed, that Killian had adapted to that would strike her the most. She briefly wondered if it would be good to get Killian an iPad, so that he could turn pages more easily. He'd gotten the hang of the iPhone pretty quickly, so she didn't doubt he'd love the tablet.

The quiet of the room, with the lights of the Christmas tree in in the corner twinkling, the warmth of Killian at her side, all let Emma feel completely at ease with life. She was sure she didn't need anything more than this to be happy. She thought about how far she'd come in just a few years, after her rocky youth, and was completely satisfied, finally. She loved her life, and and could lay the past behind her.

The quiet of the room was broken as Killian's phone started ringing. He got up to go answer it, and left the room for privacy. Emma was curious, as Killian had never hid anything from her before. When he returned, he looked utterly deflated. As he started to sit back down, Emma's phone started ringing.

"Swan."

Considering the time of night, Emma figured it was one of the 911 calls that would get forwarded to her phone when she and David were off duty. Emma was happy to hear that it was the real estate agent calling to tell her she got the apartment. Her entire demeanor changed immediately.

"Really?"
"When will it be available?"
"Okay, we can meet tomorrow to sign the paperwork. This is great news. Thank you so much."

Killian looked at her with a questioning expression as she hung up, her smile stretched from ear to ear.

"I found an apartment. Will you come with me tomorrow while I sign the lease? I want you to see it."

"Of course." Killian started to think. "This isn't by any chance a nice three bedroom over by the water, two bathroom, a small office type room. Large open kitchen and great room?"

"How did you know?"

"Well Swan, I just got a call saying that they were rejecting my application, as they'd found a more desirable tenant."

Emma started laughing. "Well hopefully they don't find you too undesirable. I was hoping…" Emma paused. She hadn't planned on talking about the apartment with him that evening, but the timing just seemed right. She had been enjoying her night relaxing with him, and knew that life would just be exponentially better with him to come home to every night.

"I was kind of hoping that you would move in with me and Henry." She sheepishly looked away, not able to meet Killian's eyes. She wasn't sure why she was so embarrassed by this. She knew it was right. She guessed it just wasn't every day that a girl asked her 300 year old pirate boyfriend to move in with her.

Killian pulled her face up by the chin gently, and looked her directly in the eyes. "Swan, there is nothing I would love more than to move in with you and Henry." Then, pausing, Emma could see the lightning bolt go off in his brain. "On second thought... Don't move, I'll be right back."

Killian returned more quickly than she would have thought possible. Coming in to the room, instead of sitting back down on the sofa he kneeled down in front of Emma. She watched, mouth slightly agape, as he opened a tiny ring box and presented it to her. "There is one thing that would make me just as happy as moving in with you, and that's marrying you. Emma Swan, you beautiful, infuriating, wonderful woman, will you be my wife?"

Emma had not been so surprised by anything, except maybe finding out that Henry's fairy tale theory was true. But that didn't keep her from quickly, very quickly, sliding her arms around Killian's neck, kissing him, and whispering 'yes' in his ear.
