I couldn't say how long I slept but it was the best sleep I ever had. Knowing I was in the one place no one would really catch me. Killian held me close which only added to my comfort as I slept. So waking to his devilishly handsome face only brought a smile.
"morning luv." Killian said
"morning." Amira said
Being with him was always good but I was being selfish with him. I knew where he was, where the ship was and the men were kept away for now. So when he kept on the ship I didn't really argue as I looked at my phone seeing two voicemails and nine missed calls from Regina. I put my phone to my ear listening to the voicemails.
"I don't know who you think you are now not showing up but trust me princess you better come in." Regina said on the first one which I deleted
"Ami where are you? Went by your apartment and the pier but I didn't see the ship. Call me as soon as you can sis." Snow said on the 2nd voicemail.
I didn't worry about Regina anymore and put the phone away. Killian came through the door placing a bag by me and I looked at him curiously.
"I talked to one of the men. They went and got you this under my orders so you dont starve. After all you have to eat considering things have changed." Killian said
I smiled knowing that was how things were as I looked in the bag. "You must of talked to Smee, he knows Ruby knows all my favorites." Amira said
"yes well Mr. Smee mentioned you took charge in my absence" Killian said
I merely shrugged as I ate. Truth I couldn't tell you how long I stayed there. I know sometimes I snuck off the ship to check out apartments and well to charge my phone.
After two months going on three and needing new clothes to plan my sister agreed to take me shopping for clothes that would fit. The outside world of Storybrooke suddenly didn't seem an issue to me. Once I had it I returned to the ship as I heard muffling cries and after changing I checked it out seeing Dr. Hopper.
"Archie?" Amira said knowing she just heard Snow say something about him being dead.
I carefully climbed down remembering my extra weight as I removed his gag. He seemed surprised to see me at first and well showing now but it took him time. I had a cup of water I reached for and offered it to him which he took a drink from it.
"Selena what are you doing here?" Archie asked
"I'm a pirate and my boyfriend is the Captain." Amira said "why are you here?"
"Cora, she kidnapped me so your boyfriend could interrogate me." Archie said
"Right the dark one. He's kept me out of the loop of it all." Amira said
I didn't get much time to talk to Archie as I was magically pulled out of there and Archie was gagged again. I looked just as Killian pulled me to him seeing Cora.
"Captain you need to keep this one on a leash." Cora said
"I'm nobody's pet Cora." Amira said
"why were you down there?" Killian asked
"I was offering him some water after all he can't tell you anything if he's dehydrated and starving!" Amira said and I walked away to his Cabin where he insisted I stayed.
Cora watched me walk away seeing the mood swings were setting in. She must of noticed I was at the three month mark maybe a little longer but I didn't care at all what she thought.
"are you making her see a doctor?" Cora asked Killian
"according to Selena the only doctor is Whales and she refuses to go see him. Says he creeps her out." Killian said
I assume in Killian's eyes he was getting everything he wanted. Working on his revenge, watching over me as our child was growing waiting for the day he or she would be here. The only down side was having Cora around.
Another few weeks passed each day Killian bringing in food one of the men bought from the diner. When Killian left me alone with Dr. Hopper I'd share some of it with him so he wasn't starved.
"your boyfriend seems determined." Archie said
"well I wouldn't expect anything less of him. Honestly I can see past the act he puts up. He's hurting inside." Amira said
I put my hand on my stomach sometimes and imagine the gender of the baby. Boy or girl I'd love it either way but I wanted a girl someday. That was my secret though.
"you must be very happy to be this far." Archie said
"I wish it was that easy. My father wouldn't approve of any of it." Amira said as she ate and sighed "he'd disown me for being pregnant let alone in love."
"I see that's why you're here. Your not here against your will but because you love your Captain." Archie said
"he taught me everything I know about being a pirate." Amira said
Archie and I had casual conversations. As much as I wanted to free him my vow of loyalty kept me from untying him. When Killian came in I left the area not leaving a single clue to what was going on. My only request was he leave Archie alive. I knew my time staying on the ship was limited in fact my sister ended up finding me a new apartment that I could get near hers with room to consider for a baby and if Killian didn't want to stay on the ship. I smiled knowing luckily my cursed self saved quite a bit of money aside for a new apartment. So I left the ship going to meet my sister and getting things set up for getting the apartment. I walked with Snow checking it out first to see if I'd like it.
"it's big enough for three people. I know you've been living with him." Snow said
"I can't exactly say no. I'd have everything I would need right here sort of." Amira said
"have you been to whale to check and see if the baby is healthy? Do you know how far along you are?" Snow asked
I didn't answer her more because I wasn't in the mood to argue. Whales was creepy in his own way nothing could change my mind on that. Snow could probably read the answers.
"you need to go see him at least once. I can find you a midwife to help out." Snow said
"No. I refuse to go to him." Amira said
After finalizing the apartment, Snow practically forced me to go see Whales. Even with refusing I could tell I was probably farther along then I thought. Still when we got to the hospital she insisted I be seen for a check up. They took us back to a room and I was more willing to let the nurses do their job than whales. Seeing my discomfort he instructed one of the nurses what to do as they took a look.
"well Selena, seems you have about a little less than four or three months." Dr. Whales said as he was looking "do you want to know the gender?"
Deep down I did want to know but I shook my head. Killian and I discussed it and he didn't want to know till the day the child arrived. If I found out then I would want to tell him. Snow talked with Whales though as she planned to have a baby shower she called it for me so I'd have things ready. Now that we knew time was limited it was best to make arrangements. After leaving there I didn't say a word to her much except taking the pictures with me to look at.
"it's amazing, isn't it? New life being created by you." Snow said
"yeah it is something." Amira said
Killian didn't have a phone so I went by the Jolly Roger. He was waiting outside it and saw me as he went to me hugging me close. I kissed him as a simple greeting.
"luv what's gotten into you?" Killian asked
"my sister helped me get an apartment. A different one it's closer to her." Amira said but as I watched him I seen it seemed he didn't like the idea of Snow being so close.
"you have me." Killian said
"I know but I'm progressed in my pregnancy. I can't stay on the ship, we need this to stay together. I have just one thing to ask don't get yourself killed." Amira said
Luckily I got Killian to agree to moving in to the apartment. He kept me sheltered from the chaos he was causing in town. Still when we walked in the apartment he looked around clearly not used to such things but I walked him through everything that came with an apartment. He noticed my laptop on the bed which he went over picking it up.
"what is this?" Killian asked
I walked over taking it from him "it's a laptop. It connects to something called the internet." Amira said
I knew he was up to something when he smiled at me. He missed me as he made me look at him.
"stay here." Killian said
He left, if I knew he was up to no good I would of tried to stop him. He knew what he had was important but stopping him from going after The dark one was impossible. I sat there waiting and looked over names but I knew Archie needed freed so I left the apartment going against his words taking my chances with Cora as I went on the ship and went below deck. I opened the place using my sword to free Archie and let him climb up.
"Thank you Selena." Archie said and I smiled at him
"time for you to go home Archie." Amira said
"you set me free. Won't you get in trouble?" Archie asked
"well I need advice. I was going to look over names but there's one name for a boy I was considering. My Captain had a brother." Amira said
"you are considering naming your baby after the brother? It's very sentimental." Archie said
I heard footsteps on the deck knowing there was no way Killian was there. I hesitated going up thinking it could of been Cora but when they came below deck I saw Belle.
"Belle" Amira said
"Hello Amira." Belle said and seen Archie "Archie you're alive?"
"he's been here the whole time. Why what's going on in town?" Amira asked
"well there was a funeral service. No one knew where to find you or we'd of told you." Belle said
I had to think that was why he was tied up with Cora showing up. I recalled that day well as the day Killian held me close till Cora left.
"I'm setting Archie free but I needed his assistance." Amira said
Archie soon left leaving me and Belle below deck. I previously told her about my alliance with the pirates and I didn't regret it one bit. It wasn't long though more movement could be heard and soon we both saw Killian.
"luv, you're supposed to be at the apartment." Killian said
"I had to ask Archie something. He's good with advise and it wasn't like he could tell you anything." Amira said
Belle was looking for something clearly something that was brought here earlier. I saw the Shaw on Killian's hook.
"looking for something?" Killian asked her
"that doesn't belong to you." Belle said
"oh,it does now." Killian said
I seen Belle run for a close Gun I didn't realize Belle had. Killian grabbed it first with a laugh as he pointed it at her but I moved infront of her.
"luv move." Killian said
"she's my friend. No." Amira said "she's the only one I had at the time. The shawl why do you have it?"
"if you must know it belonged to the dark one. He was going to use it to leave town." Killian said
"you could of destroyed it. Why didn't you?" Amira asked
He didn't have an answer for me so I came up with my own.
I shook my head "Milah." Amira said and I took Belle with me leaving the under part of the ship. Killian ran up after us and I didn't look at him.
"luv please." Killian said
"I won't fight with a ghost." Amira said as I let Belle go going off the ship. Belle went to get the shawl leaving with it while he was distracted. I didn't go to my apartment, I went to my sister practically crying as she comforted me. I thought we were past this, but anything when it came to Milah could get under my skin the wrong way when Killian tells me he loves me.
