Chapter 11:

The way back to the castle was far more enjoyable than the way to the docks. Fingers intertwined, they were laughing, talking. Relieved, happy. They were arriving to the castle and Killian stopped looking at her worryingly.

"Don't fear my father, I swear he is not going to chop off your head" she smiled, amused.

"It's not your father I fear my love. It is your mother" she laughed, but then he looked at her with all the seriousness on the world. "I'm not joking"

"My mother? Really she's as nice as a lamb."

"You're her baby and she's momma bear" he frowned.

"Oh come on! You'll be fine. But please, act like a man when you're in front of them"

"I always act like a man!" Killian protested, offended.

"Yeah, well tell that to the dignity you lost just minutes ago" she teased.

The two of them passed the guard and went to the room she knew her parents would be in. Emma was stressed out, she didn't know how her parents would react. Especially her father. Especially when she'll tell him Killian is her True Love. She had her idea on that, but she feared he would pass out momentarily. She took a deep breath, squeezed her pirate's hand and pushed the door, causing her parents to turn and face them. The smile on her father's face dropped as her mother's one grew bigger. She knew. She knew who he was to her.

"Nice to see you Killian" The Queen greeted him.

"Nice to see you too your Majesty" he said, bowing. She was the Queen after all.

"Call me Snow. You are my daughter's True Love, I think that's the least you can do" she smiled and as he was going to ask how she knew, Emma's father seemed to come back to life.

"Her True Love? Snow! It's my baby girl we're talking about, it… she… No" he said, pulling his daughter in his arms, making her let go of Killian's hand.

"Dad…" Emma said, blushing at the awkward moment with a dark glare to both her father and Killian, both of them woe an amused smile on their faces, like they were sharing some inside joke. "What makes you two smile like that?"

"You're beautiful when you're blushing love. Even cuter when you're angry" Killian teased her and she hit him in the arm in disagreement.

"Shut it you pirate" she said.

"Hey!" he said, offended once again.

"That's my girl" Charming said proudly.

Killian had stayed for dinner, and it went surprisingly well. They were getting along just fine. Unfortunately for Emma, he wasn't allowed to stay the night. Before she went to bed, she kissed him like she was never going to see him again, she only let him go when her father cleared his throat. She smiled at them and disappeared in her room. Snow was not long following, leaving the two men alone. Killian was ready to go, but David held him back.

"Wait a second. I need to talk to you."

"I'm listening" Killian said sitting back.

"My daughter loves you and I have no doubt you do too. But she's my only child. Emma and her mother are the most precious things to me. I don't know what I could do without them"

"I feel the same about Emma, your Majesty"

"I know. Which is why you have my blessing. I know why you did what you did by bringing her back to me. I thought pirates only cared about themselves, but you proved me I was wrong. You didn't act selfishly around my daughter and I appreciate that."

"Thank you. But I could never act this way around Emma. She doesn't deserve that. I'm not even sure I deserve her. She deserves a prince, someone who has a reliable past, which is not the case with me. I love her, but I always fear the fact that she'll get hurt because of it." Killian admitted sincerely.

"I trust she'll be safe with you. You proved me you would put your life in danger for her. You deserve her" the King said and Killian was stunned "You have my blessing"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, that if one day, you want to marry my daughter, you have my blessing Killian. You are worth any prince mate"

Killian thanked him again and left the castle. David stayed a bit more in the room, glad he had had this talk with his little girl's lover. He just didn't know that someone had been eavesdropping and was now glowing. Going back to her room lighter than ever.
