Chapter 53:

"Ready to go home, love?" Killian whispered, pressing his nose against her head. Emma smiled and curled into his embrace more.

"I want to show you the town first. If that is ok?" Emma asked, looking up at him. He smiled and kissed her nose making her giggle.

"I loved a tour." Emma smiled and pressed a quick kiss to his lips before climbing out of bed. She stretch for second, feeling the soreness of her muscles.

"I am loving the view already of this place." Killian growled, watching she walked around the bed towards the bathroom.

"Come on, pirate. I want to take you to breakfast." Emma stated, walking into the bathroom. She winked at him before shutting the door.


"Alright, love. Where first?" Killian asked, throwing his arm around her shoulders as they walked down the street.

"Welcome to StoryBrooke. First stop is Granny's diner, where I worked for the past couple of months." Emma said, waving over to the small little diner. Killian laughed and kissed her hand before opening the door for her.

"Well, Emma. I didn't expect to see you here today. Who is your friend?" Granny nodded to Killian as she picked up some menus.

"Oh Granny, this is my fiancé Killian. Killian this is my boss, Granny." She led them over to a booth in the back, Emma and Killian sat across from each other.

"It is nice to meet you, Emma is definitely a benefit to have here." She said, smiling at Emma before walking away. Killian looked at the menu and chuckled.

"What is so funny?" Emma asked looking at him over the menu.

"This food sounds greasy and horrible." He stated, Emma raised an eyebrow and grabbed the menu from him.

"What the bloody hell, love?" Killian demanded making Emma giggle.

"I'm going to order for you." She said, crossing her arms so that he knew that she was serious. Killian laughed and leaned forward, his elbows on the table.

"So, love, what do you do for fun here?" He asked, looking deep into her eyes. Emma smiled and leaned forward so that their heads almost touched.

"Nothing really. I go to work then go home, sometimes I go to see Jefferson at his job."

"Why did you get a job? You know that I would have provided for you." Killian said, looking at her with interest. Emma shrugged as she watched one of the waitress walk over.

"I needed something to do besides sitting around the apartment." Emma replied as her friend Regina came up.

"Hey there, Emma. And who is this?" She pointed to Killian with her pen, looking at him with interest.

"Killian and you are?" He asked, holding out his hand to greet her. Regina smiled shook his hand then looked at Emma with a raised eyebrow.

"I'm Regina. What can I get you to eat?" She answered, holding her notebook up.

"Two chocolate chip pancakes with whip cream and a cup of strawberries on the side. Plus two mugs of chocolate with cinnamon sprinkled on top." Emma ordered, handing the menus over. Regina nodded and hurried off to the kitchen.

"You know I like it when you take control, even though I only allow it once in a while." Killian whispered, leaning back in his seat as his eyes look her up and down.

"You better get used to it, because I am going to be taking control a whole lot more." Emma said, winking. Killian threw his head back and laughed at the idea. They sat in silence, stealing looks at each other once in a while when suddenly Killian reached out and grabbed Emma's hands.

"Love, I brought you something." He whispered, releasing her right hand to reach into his pocket. He pulled out the engagement ring and placed it on her finger.

"You brought it! I missed it." Emma said, looking at the ring as it sparkled in the light. He smiled and took her hand, kissing the ring like he used to.

"Here you go." Regina walked over with their orders, placing it down on the table. Emma quickly showed her the ring before she left the happy couple.

"This food looks like it can kill you with one bite." Killian said, cutting the pancakes into pieces.

"You are eating it wrong." Emma reached over and stabbed a piece of pancake and a piece of strawberry with her fork then covered it with whip cream. "Open up." Killian chuckled and opened his mouth so Emma could feed him the food.

"Bloody hell, at least I will die happy." Killian moaned, his eyes full of shock. Emma giggled and started digging into her own food. Suddenly Killian reached over and put a dollop of whip cream on her nose.

"What the hell?!" Emma shouted, about to wipe it off but he stopped her. He leaned over the table and licked it off her nose, making her giggle.

"You are crazy." Emma said, rubbing her nose with a napkin.

"Alright, love. What's next to this wonderful tour?" Killian announced, rubbing his stomach after they finished eating.

"We should go visit Jefferson at work." Emma said, standing up to go pay the bill.

"Don't do it, I am paying." Killian ordered standing up to pay. Emma smiled and ran to the front with Killian close on her heels.

"Here you go, Granny." Emma basically threw her card at Granny as Killian caught up to her. Killian growled and reached out to grab the card but she had already scanned the card.

"Damn it, Swan. You will pay for that." He growled, wrapping his arms around Emma's waist as she put the card back into her pocket.

"Not if I beat you again." She whispered, kissing his cheek before taking his hand to lead him to where Jefferson was working.


"Jefferson!" Emma yelled when they arrived to the gun shop. His head shot up and he grinned at the couple.

"Hey there, stranger." He said, walking over to hug Emma. Killian growled at the contact but the two friends just ignored him.

"What are y'all up to?" He asked when he pulled away.

"Came to see you at work and I want to go shooting with Killian." Emma said, waving to all the guns. Jefferson chuckled and nodded, leading the couple to the back where the shooting range was.

"Here you go. What gun would you like?" He asked Emma, showing her the wall of guns.

"Beretta, nine millimeter." Killian and Jefferson both started to laugh while Emma gave them an annoyed look.

"What is so funny?" She asked as Jefferson handed her the gun. They both shook their heads and watched Emma get into position, she took one shot and handed it back to Jefferson.

"Most woman have trouble with Beretta, too much of a kick." Jefferson said, handing the gun over to Killian. Emma smiled and watched as Killian took a shot at his own target. Then they both pushed the button to bring their targets closer.

"I actually prefer Beretta, seems Killian needs some practice." Emma teased, showing that she hit the target in the forehead, while Killian was off by a centimeter.

"I am just a little sore from last night." Killian answered, winking at Emma who giggled.

"I think I am going to be sick." Jefferson said, pretending to puke on the floor. Killian grinned and grabbed her arm, flushing her against him as he captured her lips.

"And now it I time for you two leave." Jefferson groaned, covering his eyes while the couple laughed.
