A/N: This is a little something that happened after they got back and I just thought it was cute :)
Can you hold me?
Sophia was literally dying right now. Okay, maybe not literally but still. Her periods were always this painful and today was no exception. Luckily this time she had a mother who took care of her. She was now sitting on the couch, curled up in a blanket, wearing a tank top and sweatpants and a cup with hot chocolate and cinnamon in her hands. She already felt better but the cramps still hurt.
"I'm going to the store, need anything?" Emma called as she grabbed her jacket and put it on.
"Chocolate would be nice," she replied.
"Okay, I'll be back in less than half an hour, think you could survive till then?"
"I don't know, if you find me dead it's your fault."
"I can live with that," her mother joked and walked over to her and gave her a kiss on the head before leaving the house. "I'll be back soon."
"You better!" Sophia called after her and she heard her mother laugh before the door closed. She grabbed the remote of the TV and zapped through the channels. Nothing interesting was on so she switched it off and grabbed her phone to play a game. She put her hot chocolate and phone on the coffee table when she heard someone knock on the door. Did mom forget something?
She shuffled over to the door, still wrapped in her blanket. Opening the door she was surprised to find Felix on the other side. He was no longer wearing his lost boy outfit since she gave him a Storybrooke makeover but he still wore the feather in his uncombed hair and she really didn't mind that.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" she asked in with a sweet smile and leaned against the doorframe.
"Didn't got anything to do today so I thought I might as well visit my favourite Queen," he said with a smirk that quickly faded and turned into a frown when her own smile left her face as another cramp hit her and she felt like she was going to throw up. "You look pale, are you sick?" he asked worried.
"Sort of," she walked back inside. He followed her and closed the door behind them while she walked back over to the couch and sat down again. "just got my period."
"Period?" he asked confused and sat down beside her. "Period of what?" His confusion was really cute and his worry warmed her heart.
"You know, the thing every woman gets…?" he gave her a blank look and she felt bad for him. He didn't know much about relationships and that kind of stuff, but didn't anyone ever tell him about… well… this kind of stuff? She sighed and gave him a simple explanation of what 'having your period' means.
"So your saying that every woman goes to this torture once a month just because you're… a woman?" he asked when she finished with a horrified expression. She giggled a bit at his reaction, he took it better than she had thought he would, most boys just freak out and don't want to get close to her. But then again, Felix wasn't like most boys.
"Yeah, pretty much."
"Is there anything I can do to help less the pain?" he asked her and she is touched by the way he wants to help her get through this.
She shrugged. "You can hold me…"
Without hesitation he stood up from the couch, walked over to her side, lifted her up a little and sat down behind her, putting his arms around her and tugging her close against him. She rested her head against his chest and placed her arm over his and moved them so that they were now hugging her cramping belly.
"Better?" he whispered softly in her ear.
"Yeah," she whispered back and closed her eyes. He kissed the top of her head and she melted into him.
"Need anything else?" he asked after a moment of silence.
"No," she whispered and felt herself drift off.
"Are you falling asleep?" she could hear the smile in his voice. She moved in his embrace so she was more comfortable and his arms gave her a little space before tightening around her again.
"I couldn't sleep last night because of the cramps." That was the last thing she said before she completely drifted off, wrapped in his arms and warmth.
When Emma entered the house again she walked directly to the kitchen. "Sophia, I got your chocolate," she called over her shoulder. When Sophia didn't answer she turned around. A small smile tugged on her lips at the sight that was before her. Both Sophia and Felix were sleeping on the couch, his arms protective around her and a soft smile on his lips as his head rested against hers. Sophia was curled up on top of him with her face snuggled into his chest.
Emma removed her shoes and tiptoed over to them, trying not to disturb then as she grabbed a blanket and draped it over the two of them. She knew Sophia didn't sleep well last night and she didn't really think Felix slept any better since he came with them to Storybrooke. Silently she went back to the kitchen to unpack the groceries.
From behind her she heard the front door open and close. She turned around and quickly moved over to Killian, putting a hand over his mouth when he was about to greet her.
"Ssssh," she put a finger to her lips and then pointed at the couch where Sophia and Felix were sleeping. "Look."
She removed her hand. Killian was clearly not happy with the way Felix was holding his daughter. She slapped his arm when he kept frowning at them.
"They're cute," she whispered.
"No they're not," he whispered back. The longer he looked at them the more his expression soften and she gave him a knowing look when the side of his mouth moved a little upward after a while. "Okay, Sophia is cute but Felix isn't."
"Just admit you're warming up to him and stop being such a overprotective father," she whispered and walked back into the kitchen.
"Why is not liking my daughters boyfriends being overprotective?" he asked in a whisper and followed her. "Isn't that what all fathers do?"
"Yes, but you don't have to be like that when he isn't around or asleep."
He sighed and moved to stand behind her, wrapping his arms around her. "Okay, maybe I'm warming up to him a little. But don't tell him or Sophia that I said that."
She kissed his cheek. "Now, was that so hard?"
"Yes," he said. "Now, why don't we take our daughters example and take a little nap?"
"I am exhausted," she admitted with a shrug. Without warning Killian swept her off her feet and carried her upstairs in bridal-style and put her down on the bed. He moved down to kiss her but she pushed him back with her hand on his chest. "Just hold me."
