We went to Granny's diner, turns out that's where my sister, her husband and Leroy were. We sat in the booth not close to them and I sighed before Ruby put menus down.
"Hey, how's things?" Ruby asked
"progressing on time. I felt a kick today." Amira said to Ruby
"alright, I'll give you a few minutes. Water?" Ruby asked as I nod before she walked away.
"so what did the crocodile do?" Killian asked
I was looking over the menu as I was choosing my words. I looked at him knowing he already lost one love to the dark one and I wasn't about to let my fate be Milahs.
"he took Emma and Henry to find his son. But before he left he practically threatened everyone in my sister's apartment including me if anything happens to Belle." Amira said
I watched his calm nature turn to one of anger. How could he not be upset by me telling me that. It wasn't just my life that was being threatened but our child's life too.
"look I can't leave the town, not without being cursed again. You on the other hand don't have that worry. You were never cursed." Amira said and smiled "no magic passed the town line."
My words seemed to click with him as a devilishly handsome smirk came to his lips. The man he wanted to kill so bad was powerless right now. Still I knew it meant he'd leave for a bit.
Ruby brought over the water as I placed an order. I knew there probably wasn't going to be much to say but at the time my food came I was a bit slow but halfway through I felt the pace shake.
"take the rest to go luv. We need to move." Killian said
Ruby got it together and in a bag as I paid for everything going out. I saw Anton making a fuss about town. I went with him seeing my sister.
"We're here because of you, you gave my sister Amira the magic compass." Snow said
"Amira? Let me talk to her. She says you're okay then I'll stop." Anton said
"she's at the diner." Snow said and I walked out "no I'm not." Amira said
Anton looked at me, yeah I had a difference with being pregnant. Still I looked at Anton with a smile.
"Nice to see you Anton." Amira said but Killian went out trying to pull me back for my safety.
"is it true what she says?" Anton asked
"it's true. My sister tells the truth." Amira said
He was still was angry with the one james. So David offered to give himself over. Anton went to go after David but ended up making a giant hole. The magic he consumed faded and we worked together to get him out. I led Anton to a place he could eat.
"what happened to you?" Anton asked
"oh it's nothing big. Just expecting." Amira said as Killian put his arm around me. Try as I might his charms were hard to resist.
We made it to the diner where everyone welcomed him and talked. I smiled but left soon with Killian. I knew this reunion wasn't going to last but I put money in his hand.
"what's this luv?" Killian asked
"Go on, get your revenge and then come home. My sister is here I'm safe. The crew is always watching so go." Amira said
For a few days he stayed before kissing me and leaving. The threat remained and that was what bothered me and him. Still I spent my days waiting for the return of my niece. My sister helping me during the time and trust me the anticipation was worth it every day counting down to the day the baby was born.
"he'll come back." Snow said
"I know. I'm just worried." Amira said
"what do you fear?" Snow asked
"Him becoming the dark one if he ever uses the dagger." Amira said as I drank from a cup of tea snow have me.
I Went out most days visiting Belle even though she didn't remember herself but I could talk with her as long as I didn't say the name Belle.
"your excited" Belle said
"I am. The mystery of gender has me curious but I promised to wait." Amira said
"the father of your baby, he wants to be surprised?" Belle asked
Amira nod
Soon I left going back to my sister's place. When I walked in David and Snow were smiling.
"Hey Amira" David said
"hi, what's going on?" Amira asked
"let's test something. We know you want to wait but it's an old family thing." David said showing me something in his hand.
To humor him I put my hand out and he put the pendant above my hand. He didn't tell me the way to know but we watched as it started to move. David smiled knowingly and I was curious as it Stopped and made a different motion.
"well thats going to be interesting." David said putting it away.
"I see. I'm going to lay down." Amira said and I left them to talk.
"so my sister is carrying a boy, I'm going to have a nephew." Snow said smiling.
While I was waiting for him to return, Snow out together a baby shower or more she insisted. So I sat there as people brought in gifts but I wasn't sure about this. Without Killian I felt out of place but then I saw Smee and I seemed to relax. Smee walked over to me seeing I was a bit uncomfortable.
"Selena is everything ok?" Smee asked
"Besides people showing up for this baby shower. Ki- The Captain isn't here and I sent him for his revenge." Amira said
"why would you do that?" Smee asked
"he'll get his revenge without anything bad." Amira said
I tolerated the party and surprisingly there was quite a bit I wasn't expecting. So call me surprised at all the baby stuff and yet I wished Killian was here.
After the party my sister, David and Smee helped me get it home and set up. It was a mix of outfits between boy and girl baby stuff since I wasn't checking. Still it was amazing that it was so close now in a matter of months. As I was grabbing for the last item, someone grabbed it and I looked up. My eyes widened to see Johanna.
"Hello Amira." Johanna said
"Johanna" Amira said as I hugged her and she returned the hug
"Look at you, your so beautiful and very much with child." Johanna said as she put her hands on my cheeks "Your mother would love what you are doing regardless."
I looked down hearing about my mother, to be honest I missed her dearly and it wasn't a moment I didn't think of her. In truth I knew Johanna was just trying to keep me happy but my parents probably would of disowned me. I left and there wasn't much more that could be said about it. It's done and over with but still I was glad to see her.
"So you run off, I want to hear all of your adventures." Johanna said "Was it everything you wanted?"
"It was and so much more." Amira said, in truth I knew what was coming up was my sister's birthday. Partly the reason I sent Killian on his want for revenge so there was no fighting.
Johanna walked with me for a bit as she looked at me seeing my mind was on a lot of things. Johanna put a hand on my shoulder bringing me out of my thoughts as I looked at her knowing she knew me well. Johanna had raised me and Snow after our mother died.
"You seem torn." Johanna said
"I am, I thought it was over. Yet I can't let it go this time maybe it's why I sent him to do what he wanted." Amira said
Admitting those words wasn't easy, nothing was 100% fine between me and Killian and if he wanted me like i thought he did then he'd have to work on showing me. Right now my main focus was on the baby and getting through the pregnancy. As we walked I noticed some Snow Belles my mothers favorite flower. I picked one out and smiled knowing it was a good thing that made me remember her.
"SnowBelles" Johanna said
"Indeed, they are a great memory and When I get married someday I will have them somewhere on me." Amira said
"So this pirate, do you think he's your happy ending?" Johanna asked
"It's complicated, in my heart I feel he is but he's more experienced and sometimes I feel I fight with a Ghost." Amira admitted
"Well if it's meant to be it'll work it's way out." Johanna asked "Look at how Snow found her own Happy ending."
Snow, it was true that Snow and David found a way to be happy together and have a happy ending. Still I wasn't so easily persuaded that things could work out so easily and yet I thought about before the curse how he'd came for me at Regina's castle in the dungen. He found me and then I traveled through the hat to find him which made me laugh.
"What is so funny Amira?" Johanna asked
"Snow and her husband say they will always find each other. They do. I'm laughing cause Killian and I, we find ways to find each other." Amira said
"See, it is possible for you. It sounds like you've found what you're looking for." Johanna said and looked at my baby bump. "So is it a boy or a girl?" Johanna asked
"I didn't find out, I figured best to be surprised.." Amira said
Soon we reached the apartment and when I walked in I noticed Snow and David finish setting up my nursery room. I had gave Snow a key for future purposes and I didn't think anything would be going on for awhile so I told her she didn't need to knock. Since I wasn't truly sure Killian was living with me here in this apartment was why I told her that.
"All set." Snow said
"Looks great Snow." Amira said but I noticed the boys clothes were set out for future use and I looked at her questioningly.
"I know what the pendent meant. Trust me." Snow said with a smile
I left the room knowing I needed to get a few personal items and it wasn't like I was going to be doing anything much anyway. All things considered I wasn't needing babysitted just cause I was was within four to three months of having a baby. Not that the men didn't keep an eye on me when I was out in secret and trust me if things went wrong I trusted they were watching so that's why I didn't care. That and I was able to be more relaxed now with knowing soon we might not have a dark one which actually made me more happy than you could of known. Though I knew Killian took his ship to New York instead of using the money I gave him cause I did walk by the Pier and i touched where the ship should of been and it wasn't there.
"So your getting your revenge you've waited so long for. Wasn't enough to make Belle forget who I am or the dark one is." Amira said clearly talking to no one else
I had to admit, I hated him for doing that to Belle. Belle was a sweet person that she didn't deserve to be cursed again only worse cause she didn't have an identity to go back on. Seeing her all those times having to be tranqued wasn't easy to watch. I didn't notice as a tear hit my arm.
"I hate you for doing that to my friend." Amira said
The truth was out, I did hold some anger and yet it was a relief. I was glad my relationship wasn't like Snow's relationship. I didn't want to say anything but Snow's relationship is too perfect, they never fight and in this world we are now in. I knew to make it work, to show you cared there was at least some kind of fighting. Killian and I are not perfect, we have differences of opinion and I knew that but it worked out in the end.
I went to walk back home not really having much else to do anyway and I thought about it wondering when he'd return to me. I started to feel lonely even with Johanna and Snow around, it was nice to have them but I knew I found more comfort in his presence than anyone else.
"Three days have passed, how much longer will I need to wait?" Amira asked myself
Deep down I knew I didn't have any answers for that question, no one did and only Killian knew when he'd get back to me. I just hoped everything was going on ok as I felt more kicking and I had to place a hand on my stoach.
"It's ok little one, he'll return to us. He gave his word." Amira said to her unborn child as she had confidence but she felt another kick knowing Killian was missing things like this but it wasn't that important at least not now until the baby was born. I had to just keep hope in my heart nothing bad would happen to him in the outside word since I didn't know what was going on.
