Together
Emma woke up late on in the morning on Saturday. She was happy to feel Killian's arms around her and his chest against her back. Emma could tell he was awake. He was breathing more lightly then he did when he slept.
"Morning," Emma said.
"Morning, love," Killian said back. "How was your sleep?"
Emma turned and laid on her other side so she was facing Killian. "Good. Yours?"
"It was fine."
Emma smiled. Killian smiled back. Emma, not being able to help herself, laughed.
"What?" Killian asked, smile still in place.
Emma shook her head. "I don't know."
Killian chuckled. He kissed her head. "Let's get ready. We're meeting your parents for lunch at Granny's."
Emma groaned. "Do we have to? We just got back."
"You're the one who suggested it, darling," Killian said, "and what else are we going to do today?"
"We could watch Netflix."
Killian chuckled. "I still don't know what that is."
"Exactly," Emma said. "I have to show you."
"That's not going to hold up as an argument against your mother."
"I know."
Killian sat up and pulled Emma up. "Come on, love."
"I'm so glad you're home!" Snow squealed as she pulled Emma into a tight hug. "You were gone for ages."
Emma laughed. "It was only two weeks, Mom."
Snow pulled away. "Still."
Killian took Emma's hand. "Why don't we go find a booth?"
David chuckled. "Good call. I'm starving."
"I see where Emma gets that from," Killian mumbled as the four of them sat down.
Emma laughed. She leaned into Killian's side as he threw an arm around her shoulders.
"So," Snow said eagerly, "how was it? How was your honeymoon?"
Emma and Killian smiled at each other.
"It was great," Emma said, finally looking away from Killian and back at her mother. "It really was."
"Aye, that it was," Killian agreed.
About a week after the Final Battle, Snow and Henry insisted that Emma and Killian left on their honeymoon, David wasn't happy about it, he said that he wanted Emma to stay longer, her having just died and been brought back to life a mere week ago; but Henry and Snow won in the end. So, for the past two weeks, Emma and Killian had been sailing the ocean on the Jolly Roger. Emma and Regina and put a spell over it so it couldn't be seen by anyone and repelled bad weather.
"Killian tried to teach me how to sail," Emma began.
"But I failed," Killian finished. "She's hopeless."
Emma laughed. "It's true. Henry's probably better than me."
"Henry is better than you, love," Killian teased, smiling.
"He's also better at riding horses," David chimed in.
"Hey!" Emma protested. "That's not fair. You taught him when Mom and I were in the Enchanted Forest! I haven't had the practice."
"Yeah, you have," Snow said. "David tried to teach you, but you couldn't stay on the horse."
"That was not my fault," Emma said, laughing. "That horse didn't like me."
"I wouldn't like you if I was that horse," Killian said.
"Same here," David said. "You used magic about ten times in front of it."
"It's not my fault that that horse wouldn't stay still."
The next hour and a half was spent laughing, talking and eating. When Granny gave them the bill, David said, "We'll pay," and took the bill.
"Dad…" Emma began, but David stopped her.
"You just got back from your honeymoon," David said, handing the cash to Granny.
Emma rolled her eyes. "You guys are so ridiculous."
As they stood up to leave, Emma and Killian put their arms around each other. The four walked out of Granny's.
"Hey, Emma," David said. "Remind me to set Killian's paycheck to go straight to your bank account. I assume he doesn't have one and it's too much of a hassle to set up one for him and then combine them."
Emma nodded. "Okay. I will. See you guys later."
They couples parted ways.
The walked home was quiet and peaceful, but Emma couldn't stop thinking about what David said.
Her and Killian were going to share a bank account now. That's what married couples did. It still seemed so surreal to Emma. She was married. She was married. She couldn't believe it. The past two weeks had been the best of her life. Her and Killian, sitting under the stars or dancing in the sun. It had been a dream. It felt so unreal. She couldn't believe the universe rewarded her in such a way.
Before she knew it, Emma was walking up the steps to her house with Killian at her side. They walked in and Killian helped Emma out of her jacket before taking his shoes and jacket off. After taking her boots off, Emma walked over to the couch and sat down, sighing in contentment.
Killian smiled and sat next to her, pulling her close. After a minute or so, Killian felt Emma move her arm. She was wiping her eyes, as if wiping away tears, which, Killian saw, she was.
"Emma?" he questioned. "What's on your mind?"
Emma pulled away and looked at him. "We're going to share a bank account."
Killian raised his eyebrow, confused why this fact would affect her like this.
Emma laughed. "I know, I'm being stupid. It's just, sharing a bank account is what married people do."
Killian put his hand on Emma's cheek. "We are married, love."
Emma nodded. "I know, I know. It's just… it's so… unreal."
"What do you mean?"
Emma shifted her position. "When I was a little girl, going from foster home to foster home, feeling everything except love and happiness, I would have laughed in your face if you told me I was going to get married. I just didn't have that kind of hope; and now… well, my life is just so unbelievably good."
Killian smiled. He kissed her softly. "It is pretty good, huh?"
Emma laughed. "It is."
"So, tell me, what is a bank account?"
Emma laughed again. "It's where we put our money so we don't have it all in the house."
Killian nodded, still smiling. "Well, I'm glad I get to share one with you."
Emma pushed his shoulder playfully. "You are so cheesy. You know that, right?"
Killian put his hand up. "It's my job."
Emma laughed for what felt like the millionth time that day and leaned against her husband. Her husband pulled her close.
