Chapter 14

You're never gonna be alone

Emma's eyes shot open. She looked around. Her eyes rested on Killian. She looked down at him in apanic. "Killian? Killian? Wake up! Killian!" She yelled, panicked. She looked at the others. "What the hell happened to him!? Who did this to him!?" Gold walked over to her. "Do you remember?" Emma looked at him.

"I remember, everything. Killian and I are married. And we had Sophia. And I had to sacrifice my magic to make sure that they were all alive. Now please, what is wrong with Killian? Why isn't he breathing?" She asked in a panic.

Gold walked over to Killian and put a hand on his chest. Suddenly Killian gasped awake, shooting up. He looked over at Emma. "Swan, are you alright? Do you know who I am?" he asked, softly. Emma put her hand on his cheek and their foreheads touched.

"Yes, Killian Jones. I remember everything. I love you so much." She whispered. Killian gave her a gentle kiss. "I love you, my beautiful wife." Emma smiled, tears filling her eyes.

"I am so sorry. For everything. I just couldn't live with myself if Pan killed either of you. I couldn't let him kill you. I am so sorry baby." She whispered.

Killian shook his head. "I am very hurt about you doing that, but I can't be angry at you right now. I have you back. I have my beautiful wife back and I couldn't be happier." Emma laughed, and she kissed him. She got up and hugged Henry.

"Thanks for taking care of them kid." She said with a smile. Henry hugged his mother tightly. "I'm so glad that you're back. And you remember everything." Emma smiled. "Where is Sophia? I don't remember anything after I went to Neverland."

Henry smiled. "She's in the nursery, sleeping." Emma nodded. With a goodbye hug and kiss from her father and a thank you to Gold, Emma spent the day with her family, still trying to wrap her head around the past week and a half.

Emma gazed at the water, her husband standing next to her. She turned, and she hugged Killian tightly. She looked down and saw his chain. "You have my wedding bands?" she asked, looking in his eyes. "Yeah, when your memory was gone, I didn't want to stress you out about not remembered me."

Emma looked at him in confusion. "What do you mean? What did you have them do? Did you have them take my memory of not remembering who you were?" Killian nodded. "Yeah, I couldn't bear you stressing out and feeling guilt about not being able to remember."

Emma shook her head. "That wasn't your call to make. It's my mind." Said Emma, getting angry. "Look we have been together for less than five minutes, can we please not fight?" asked Killian.

"This isn't just something that we forget and move on from. You messed with my head. You had Gold erase my memory of you." Killian sighed. "Yeah, because I didn't want you to feel the pain of not being able to remember. I was trying to look out for you." Said Killian.

"And I don't see why you are so angry about this. I have forgiven you for what you did at Neverland. You can forgive me for this." Emma shook her head. "No, this is different. I didn't warp your memory." Killian shook his head angrily.

"No, you just sacrificed yourself without telling me again. You kept a secret from me again. You lied to my face and told me that you were going to be okay and you were going to live again. Forgive me for looking out for you!"

Emma turned and looked at him. "I don't need you to look out for me! I am a grown woman. I don't need you to make decisions like this because you didn't want me to feel pain. Well guess what Killian, pain is a part of me."

"And if you don't like it then I don't know why you even married me." Killian walked up to her. "I married you because I love you. I love every part of you. I did this for you. And I don't find it right that you are pissed at me about something like this. I did this to make sure that you didn't feel the pain."

Emma shook her head. "I can handle the pain that comes with not remembering you." Killian shook his head, and walked toward the window, looking at the water. "I don't think you could." Emma looked at him in shock.

"What? What is this pain that you wanted to protect me from!?" Killian turned around quickly. "The pain I felt! You didn't feel the pain that I felt when I held you dying in my arms. When you went limp in my arms."

"When you told me goodbye, and I realized that I had to raise Sophia alone! The pain that was looking at you and seeing my wife and the mother of my child. But there you were, standing there looking at me like a stranger."

"Because that's what I was! I wasn't your husband or the father of your daughter! I was the stranger that you never met before! I didn't want you to feel the pain and confusion that came with trying to remember me!"

"You were hysterical, trying to figure out who I was!" Emma looked at him, not saying a word. "So, the next time you want to get mad at me for looking out for you, make sure that you have the facts!" Killian stormed out of the house, toward the water.

Emma sat on the sofa and she put her head in her hand. What the hell was that? She had never gotten into a fight this bad with Killian. She never heard him raise his voice that loud either. Cries came from upstairs.

Emma sighed, and headed to the nursery. "Hey Princess, it's okay." Said Emma, picking up Sophia. She got her a bottle and she walked downstairs and she stared at her love on the dock. She sighed and looked at Sophia.

"Why don't we take you to daddy? He hasn't seen you in so long." She walked slowly outside. Killian didn't turn to look at her. "She woke up, I figured you would like to see her." She said. Killian turned and looked at Emma. His eyes dropped and looked at Sophia.

He gently took her from her mother and hugged her. "Hello, my princess. I have missed you so." He said, rocking back and forth slowly. Sophia picked up her hand and put it on his face. Killian smiled and kissed her hand gently. "I love you Sophia, more than you know." He said gently, looking into her eyes. Killian looked at Emma with a slight frown. "I love you Swan. Know that." Tears filled her eyes and she nodded. "I know you do. And I love you, more than you could ever know."

"I'm sorry for getting angry. And I am so sorry for the pain that I caused you. I lied to you. I kept secrets from you. And I am so sorry. I promise you I will never lie or keep secrets from you again, I love you Killian. I need you. So please, forgive me for what I have done."

Killian sighed deeply. "I forgive you Emma. But you can't keep doing this. You have to think of the children and me. And you have to lean on me. You don't have to be alone in your quests. And you are so loved by many."

"You can't just throw your life away just because you are a hero. Yes, you may be the only Savior, but you are surrounded by family and heroes that are willing to stand by you. You can't just assume that you are alone, because you aren't."

Emma nodded. "I know. I'm just scared. I don't think that I will get my happy ending. Look at what has happened already. You were killed, Sophia was kidnapped and sacrificed. I died. We have been separated more than once."

"I don't know if I even deserve a happy ending." She bowed her head and she cried. "Emma Swan," She picked her head up. Killian put his hand on her cheek. "If anyone deserves their happy ending, it's you. You have sacrificed so much for everyone."

"You have saved countless lives. You deserve this. You deserve to be happy. With or without me." Emma gasped and leaned in and kissed him. "I will only be happy if I have you by my side. I love you Killian Alexander Jones. And I am never letting you go, again. You are stuck with me forever."

Killian chuckled. He leaned in, so their foreheads were touching. "That's good. That's the forever that I want. I want forever with you. I want to spend an eternity with you, Emma. You are everything to me. I love you, and I can't think of a better way to spend forever."

Emma smiled, and she kissed him sweetly. They separated and he out his around her waist. Henry walked out and joined his family. Emma laid her head on his shoulder and they watched the sunset with their kids. Yeah, maybe it was finally time to be happy, and to have the happy ending that they all deserved.
