Blueeyeddevil06 thank you for being my beta and helping me keep everyone in character.
I'm working on writing a prophecy for this story in iambic pentameter, and IM NOT A POET AT ALL. *smiles and bows awkwardly* I'm not joking when I say I just googled how to write it for the first time today. I do have something written, and now there are two options. 1) Everyone excuses my bad poetry and just pretends it's good *fake cheers* 2) One of you lovely people messages me that you're good at it and offers to make it better. All you get in return for your help is me thanking you by pen name and not having to read bad poetry. *shrugs* It's not like I'm a paid author.
Thank you all for reading my story. I hope you're enjoying it. I know I'm absolutely loving writing this story.
That night after dinner, Emma rested in Killian's arm while they relaxed on their bed and pulled out the letters she received. "I thought you'd find the first two entertaining, and I had some questions about Regina's."
He smiled at her, took the first letter from her, and read what her mom wrote. "You're going to be a big sister. How do you feel about that, Love?"
"Good. Really good. I had a great childhood, and any kid would be lucky to have them as parents. I'm also glad for a selfish reason. It will take the focus off of us a bit. I can convince my mom she still has a chance to throw a huge royal wedding someday."
He stared at the letter, "It would be nice to be a brother again." He then shrugged nervously, "I mean, I'd be a brother-in-law and a pirate, so it wouldn't really count, I guess."
She shook her head. "It counts, Killian. Trust me. This kid will be lucky to have such a cool big brother."
"Notorious is the word you're looking for, Swan."
She kissed his cheek. "Whatever it is, you'll be a great brother."
He wasn't convinced, but he moved on. "She seems calm in her letter. That's good."
Emma laughed, "Yea, you'll see the reason for that later." She then handed him her father's letter.
"You sleep with a dagger under your pillow?"
She nodded, "I did until I moved in here with you. I figure a pirate captain is weapon enough in my bed."
"You were afraid of my crew?"
"No! I just knew he'd ask if I slept with one, and I didn't want to lie to him." She gave a bashful smile. "I'm daddy's girl after all."
He went back to reading. "Ha! Perfect child! He really is wrapped around your finger." He shook his head in amusement. "If this child is a boy, he'll be in trouble. I think he has a soft spot for princesses."
"My mother would agree. But, it worked out well for her too."
He held her, "I can empathize with your father. I have a soft spot for you too." He then gave her a sweet kiss.
She smiled at him and then rested her head on his shoulder. "I love you so much." She then handed him Regina's note. "I have some questions after this one. I think she's trying to tell me something without actually coming out and saying it. You'll see."
He unfolded it and began reading. "That explains your mother's letter! She helped her write it." He shook his head in humor and continued. "What?! She wants you to have sex with me?!" He looked at her in shock.
"She says she knows more but can't say. I'm guessing she thinks you have information that you don't know you have. She wouldn't leave me without the ability to figure it out. Go ahead and finish it."
He read more and repeated the line, "'Don't do anything I wouldn't do.' What does that mean?"
She laughed at that question, "It means the opposite of what you would think. Trust me; she'd do almost anything. She's telling me to live my life and to have fun."
"She's encouraging you into my bed. I'm all for her advice, Love." He kissed her passionately and grabbed her breast. "I like having you in my bed."
She gave him a saucy look, "Surely we don't have to limit ourselves to the bed. That table looks sturdy."
He groaned and kissed her neck. "Ask your questions, Swan, before I make you forget that you had them."
"Fine, but we'll come back to my idea." She moved on the bed, so she was facing him. "How did they ask you to rescue me? I never thought to ask. I was just too relieved."
"They captured me. Every bloody cannon on my ship failed to fire at the same time. Now I know that it was due to Regina's magic, or at least I assume it was. They pointed their gun at me and took me to the throne room in chains."
Emma looked horrified and covered her mouth in shock. "Oh, no."
"Your parents had ordered that I remain unchained, but my reputation preceded me, and the men brought me in chained anyway. Regina wasn't happy and removed them with her magic. I met your wolf godmother and that green fairy next. Then your parents came, had my charges read, pardoned me, and asked me to rescue you. Well, your mother pardoned me."
"Tink was there? What did she say?" Emma looked intently at him.
"Not much, really. She didn't say anything to me."
"This is important. Did she say anything to my parents?"
He thought and nodded, "Aye, she said she was sure about something. Your father didn't look pleased."
"Can you remember anything else?"
"Your father asked if she was sure I was the man to save you, and she said yes."
"Did he actually say that or just ask if you were the man?"
He paused in thought. "I guess he just asked if I was the man." He then added, "Admiral Hornblower and Gram seemed to need to reassure themselves about me. I remember thinking it was all weird at the time."
Emma's face lit up in a huge smile, and she flopped back on the bed. "I can't believe it. They knew." She then sat up quickly and kissed him on the nose. "Do you know what Tinkerbell's specialty is?"
He shook his head, "No. What?"
"True Love. She's the one that found Robin for Regina and turned her from evil."
"True Love?"
"Just because you learn that you come from true love doesn't mean you believe that you'll ever find it. But thanks to you, now I have." She looked at him in awe. "That explains my increased power. I was born of True Love and found my True Love." She moved, so she was laying in his arms. "I must have unlocked more of my power because I found you."
Killian held her for a moment in shock. He then pulled back and said, "I forgot to take care of something up on deck. I'll be back." He then climbed out of bed and walked quickly out of their room.
Emma stayed and folded her letters back up and stored them away. She was trying not to panic over his reaction. She'd just told him he was her True Love, and he practically ran from the room. She decided to tidy her things in her trunk while he was gone. She knew she wouldn't be able to lay in their bed alone right now.
Killian tried to figure out why a pirate captain was running from the mention of True Love. He was on deck before he realized he left her in their room to worry. Damn. He just wasn't ready to go back yet.
"You alright there, Captain?" Murphy asked. He was sitting and mending a sail. "My stitches come out tomorrow."
He noticed no one else was around, and he sat by Murphy. "I'm fine."
"Bullshit. Your new bride is in your room, and you're up here looking like you're running from a ghost.
"That's pretty accurate." He sighed and decided he could talk to Murphy. They'd known each other for decades after all. "She thinks I'm her True Love."
Murphy nodded. He understood what Hook's real problem was. He didn't believe he really deserved a love that powerful. He decided to attack it from a different angle. "That's ridiculous. Why would she have a True Love? They're rare, and her parents already have that."
"What the bloody hell does that mean?!" Killian was visibly angry. "Of course she can! She's perfect. What's this bullshit about her not being able to have one?!" He stood and glared at him. "Don't be an idiot."
Murphy burst out laughing. "You said it, Captain. The problem is, for her to have a True Love, it would have to be you. Didn't her magic marry you together?"
Killian's strength went out of his legs, and he collapsed back onto the seat. "Damn, you're right. But, I'm a bloody pirate."
"She's a princess. If she deserves True Love, then it isn't about you at all. It's about her."
"And this is why I keep you, Murphy. You're clumsy as hell, but you're smart." He clapped him on the shoulder. "Thank you. Really."
He then made his way back to his Swan. He opened the door, and she was packing. Shit. "Please don't leave me." He walked right over to her and pulled her into his arms. "I'm sorry I freaked out a bit. It's all a lot to take in. I'm happy for the first time, and I wonder if I deserve it. I talked with Murphy, though, and he pointed out that you deserve it and for you to have a True Love means I would have to be it. This lowly-scoundrel of a pirate. Please, don't leave me." He repeated in desperation.
She kissed his cheek. "I wasn't packing. I was feeling anxious, so I was sorting things."
"That's a relief. I'm sorry I made you anxious." He looked into her eyes and smiled. "I have True Love. That's… wild."
"You have some making up to me to do." She teased. She then pulled off her panties and said, "Time to take me on his table. How do you want me?"
He gently pushed her down so her stomach was on the table and her arse was up. He then lifted her skirt, exposing her bare pussy. "Lay there like that." He then undid the laces on his pants and pulled them down just enough to thrust into her.
"Oh yes!" She screamed out. "This is so hot."
"You like it when I fuck you like this?" He asked, surprised.
She moaned, "Yes, please take me."
He began driving himself into her. He then remembered his hook turned her on and buried it into the table next to her, using it as leverage to drive his cock into her harder. "You're a wanton thing, aren't you?" He hoped he was right, and talking dirty turned her on.
"Yes! So wanton…. Right like that!" She moaned lustily and spread her legs wider for him.
He spanked her ass and waited for her reaction. It triggered her orgasm, and it hit her hard. "You like that, don't you?" He didn't stop driving himself into her.
"Yes, that was so hot." She moaned out.
He took her hard and built her up again. Then he was chasing both of their orgasms again. Her orgasm this time triggered his, and he spilled himself deep inside of her. "Damn, you feel so good."
Later that night, when they laid in bed, he held her as she was asleep. His mind was racing. He came to the conclusion that she was so damn perfect she had to be his True Love. There wasn't any other option after what just happened.
