Epilogue - The Next Adventure

Christmas Eve

"Killian, when can we go sailing with the Jolly Roger?" Henry asked, skipping from one foot to the other excitedly.

"We still have to wait for spring, Henry."

"Can we do a road trip? Just with the ship instead of the car?"

"I don't know what that means," Killian replied, wondering if there would ever come a time when he was familiar with all the colloquialisms of the modern world.

"He wants to make a trip out of it," Emma explained, holding the backpack out to Henry. "Visit a few cities on the way. Maybe sailing down the coast."

"I think we can arrange that." He could see the appeal in such a trip. If Emma would join them it would be even better. "But only if you will be my first mate."

"Aye, aye Captain," Henry said, snapping to attention and saluting him with his hand.

Killian grinned, lifting his hand to ruffle Henry's hair. Henry dodged his move, sighing loudly as he shook his head.

"See you two tomorrow." Henry kept still so that Emma could give him a goodbye peck and then he was out of the door.

Killian had expected Henry to have a problem with him dating his mother, but he'd only rolled his eyes at them when they'd told him and muttered under his breath "About damn time." That had definitely been one of the good things that had happened during the curse, bringing him closer to Emma and Henry without their pasts getting in the way.

Emma's arm came around his waist, hugging him tight. "You know, Henry will be at Regina's for the night."

"Is that so?" He turned his head and wiggled his eyebrows at her, shooting her a lascivious smirk. "And how might we entertain ourselves until tomorrow?"

"I might have an idea." She slipped out of his arms and walked towards the stairs, swinging her hips in a seductive way. Stopping at the door frame, she leaned against it, throwing him a promising look over her shoulder. Her mouth curled up into a mischievous smirk, her eyes sparkling with mirth. "See you upstairs, pirate."

And then she was gone, leaving him with a very prominent bulge in his pants, a bulge she needed to tend to. But judging by the expression on her face just seconds ago, he had no reason to worry. Lifting his hand, he started to open the buttons of his shirt as he followed her up the stairs. After all, they didn't want to waste one second of their time alone together. The more clothes he shed on his way to her the faster they could get to the more enjoyable activities.

Emma lay curled up against him, her whole body still humming from the orgasm he'd just given her, trailing her fingers down his left arm to his stump and up again. Her heart skipped a beat when she looked at where his arm ended, still amazed that he felt comfortable enough with her to let her see it. But they'd come a long way over the last weeks, even if making love to him was still new and exciting. She was definitely looking forward to the rest of the evening and night. Knowing her pirate, this orgasm would only be one of many until they needed to get up and ready for Christmas.

"What's our next adventure, Swan?" he murmured into her hair, his hand drawing circles over her back.

"The Enchanted Forest, I guess," she replied, arching her back into his touch. "We just need to figure out how to get there. We need to find our people. Robin needs to find his son and Mulan has to tie up a few loose ends. After that...I don't know."

"Every new day with you is an adventure, Emma."

She smiled and relaxed against him, letting her fingers sift through the hair on his chest. Her thoughts started to wander as she listened to his heart beat strong under her ear. She was truly happy with him, but when she thought about their future...she didn't want to have any regrets. Their lives were more unpredictable than those of 'normal' people. She was done with holding back. She would grab this life and live it without fear. She wanted it all with Killian. She wanted everything with him. And she thought he might want the same. She should ask him, even though her heart threatened to flutter out of her chest.

But...no more regrets.

"How do you feel about kids?" Emma asked, burying her face in his chest hair so that she didn't need to look him in the eyes.

"Why do you ask?" Trailing her fingers down his stomach, she contemplated distracting him with another round of sweaty, toe-curling sex. But her pirate knew her too well to let her get away with it. His hand closed over hers and stopped her before she could reach his cock. "Emma?"

Steeling herself she pushed up, tilting her head to meet his gaze, hope and love shining out of his eyes.

"Maybe after we've come back from the Enchanted Forest we could try to …" she trailed off, not finding the right words to tell him what she wanted. But she had to try. "I think Henry would like to have…"

He eyed her for a few seconds, his gaze scrutinizing. She almost started to squirm, needed to force herself to keep eye contact. But then a soft smile pulled his lips up and he asked, "Are you suggesting what I think you're suggesting?"

"Depends on what you are thinking," Emma replied, evading a direct answer, hoping he would take the hint and voice what she wasn't able to say out loud apparently.

"I would love to expand our family," he said softly and Emma let out a relieved breath. "You would make me a very happy man if you agreed to become my wife in the very near future."

"You're one very traditional pirate, aren't you?"

Her heart fluttered in her chest like a hummingbird. She might have thought about this quite often over the last days, ever since they'd settled down into their life together, but marriage and kids...it was still scary.

A flicker of doubt spread over his features, his smile faltering. "You don't want to get married to a pirate?"

She jerked in surprise. She never once thought him unworthy because he was a pirate. But she should have known that his fears didn't vanish overnight either. She lifted her hand and cupped his cheek, brushing her thumb over his lips. "I didn't say that."

"So if, say in a few months, after we've settled down a little I might ask you a certain question…" He pressed a kiss against her fingertips, leaving them tingling. His eyes were so full of love that tears welled up in hers. "What would be your answer?"

"Yes," she whispered, her breath catching in her throat. "My answer would be yes."

"Good to know."

He pulled her down for a kiss. It started gentle but quickly turned heated. Her nipples puckered with desire, already eager for his touch again. His cock hardened against her hips, telling her he was ready for the second round.

"How about we start practicing now?" she asked, throwing her leg over him and straddling him.

"Practicing what?"

He closed his hand around her hip and shifted her atop of him until his cock pushed through her folds. His fingers brushed over one of her nipples, tugging at it softly. Lust surged through her body, making it hard for her to hold on to any coherent thoughts. It took her a few seconds to remember his question and being able to answer it.

"Expanding our family."

His mouth curled up into one of his lascivious smirks and Emma's heart swelled in her chest. Leaning forward, she sealed her mouth over his, rocking her hips over his cock. She started to kiss her way down his neck, over his chest and stomach until she lay between his spread legs, his very erect cock right in front of her.

Talking about their future together might still scare her down to her bones, but of one thing she was absolutely certain as she leaned down and took him into her mouth.

The practicing part would never be anything less than phenomenal.

The End
