Author's note:
That's the next chapter. Thanks for all the people who reviewed/followed/favourited it, I hope you have fun reading this.
Apparently I read a FF which has some similiarities to this chapter, I'm not quite sure which one it was, so if the author read this chapter, don't be mad at me, but I always thought about it the way I wrote it.
I also want to give you a fair warning. The plot is outlined, but I'm not sure if I be able to update this story as fast as my last, but I will do my best to not let you wait too long between the updates.
Emma stirs in her bed at Granny's, the first rays of sunlight shining through the thin curtain before the window.
She stretches her muscles which feel surprisingly less sore than expected. She turns around only to face the still sleeping pirate beside her.
He's such a marvellous example of his species and he looks damn peaceful when he sleeps.
They had gone 3 rounds last night, all different but all soooooo good. Let alone the thought of the memories and she begins to feel the wetness spreading between her legs.
She starts to make small circles on his chest with her index finger, toying with his hair there. He's crimping his nose and opens first one eye and then the other.
"Morning beautiful" he stretches himself as well "I must admit this was the best sleep I had in centuries although it doesn't last long"
He starts to kiss her passionately and although she really is no morning sex person she can't deny that she wants nothing more than to feel him inside of her.
"Killian" she tries to stop his mouth from wandering any further down. "It's already 20 past 8 and Henry will meet us for breakfast at half past, we don't have time for..."
"Ok love, no further foreplay and I promise you this will be the best 10 minutes you ever got!"
15 minutes later a still light flustered Emma and a whimsically smiling Killian make their appearance at Granny's. Luckily Henry is also late so they sit down in their booth to wait for him and trying to make them more presentable less through roughly fucked.
"Good morning you two" Ruby approaches them, a knowing grin on her face "I see, my present was of good use last night, although my ears will have to go on vacation for a while. By the way, didn't take you for a biter, Emma"
"A what?" Emma is a little confused.
"You should know your smell all over the pirate would have been enough to mark him as yours, no need to give him any visible ones" She winks
Emma takes a closer look at her... Yeah what will be the definition, Boyfriend? No sounds so teenage-like. Common-law spouse- bah even worse .Partner? Yes partner it is and there right where the neck of her partner meets his shoulders a big hickey is displayed.
How had she overseen this?! Killian just shrugs his shoulders.
"I have no problem with being marked as yours" he says with a seductive tone.
"Stop it, we're meeting my son here at any time! I don't want him to get any ideas of what our nightly activities were about. Just put you collar more up and don't move so much then it should be no problem for the time being."
"As you wish" and he puts up his collar. Ok, if he doesn't move so much it could be ok- perhaps they should change their places. But it's too late, Henry storms into the diner.
"Mom! Killian! Great that you're here! I'm so hungry!"
Ruby had stood the whole time beside them watching their banter with high interest.
"Whuah little man, not so fast, give me a hug and then I can take your orders"
Henry hugs Ruby and slide into booth besides Emma.
"I'll take chocolate chips pancakes, bacon and eggs and some waffles and of course a hot chocolate with whipped cream and cinnamon"
Emma eyes him up, surprised by the amount of food he ordered.
"What, I'm still growing"
"Ok, I only take the pancakes and a hot chocolate and you, Killian"
He closes the menu "The same, please"
She knows he isn't quite familiar with the modern world delicacies but she had expected that given the time he has spent at Granny's at the last he would have been more acquainted with it. She will start to show him more things, so that he is not compelled to always take the same as she did.
"So, Mom, I hope you had a good night because you need all your energy today" he pulls out a newspaper on which he has marked several advertisements of open properties. "We have a lot of appartements and houses to visit."
"Did you just say houses? You know I' not sure if my salary as a sheriff could cover a whole house."
"We'll see Mom, at least you have Killian to part the rent"
Their food had arrived and Henry has already his mouth full of pancakes before she is able to reply on his statement.
She looks over to Killian and he is just as surprised as her. Sure they talked about it last night and although she isn't someone to rush things they agreed that they have waited long enough to finally be together and so they would have suggested Henry that they search for a home big enough for all three of them but apparently it was pretty obvious to Henry before they even said a word.
They finished their breakfast making some small-talk but because Henry is so anxious to start their search they hurry and soon they are on their way to the first place.
It is near the loft of her parents but it has only 2 rooms, both very small and it's some kind of filthy, even some cockroaches can be found on the kitchen floor. No, this is definitely not the right one.
The next one is not that better, the rooms are a little bigger than the ones in the apartment before, but Henry thinks it's too dark in the room and so the search goes on and on, apartment by apartment. Soon it is clear that with exception for the first one, Henry has mainly searched for places with a view to the Ocean and near the docks.
"When did you even found all this places" Emma asks her son "When we're waiting for Neals delivery" is his simple answer. Oh my god, he had seen her connection to Killian already back then?
They reach the last place, a huge loft at the docks and Emma and Killian like it directly.
It has two big bedrooms, a huge living room with a new kitchen attached and a big wall of windows all showing the beach and the docks.
This could be it! Finally at last, but when she looks at Henry she sees that he is not parting her enthusiasm and she is a little bit disappointed.
"Why don't you like it Henry?" "I don't don't like it but don't you think, more rooms and a garden would be great?"
She is a little bit confused. The rooms are big enough the apartment has enough room for the three of them.
"Why do we need more rooms? Killian and I would take the master-bed-room and you could take the other one on the days you're here. It's even bigger than the one in the loft."
"Yeah, but in the loft all off your sheriff stuff lies everywhere around and I thought it would be nice if you have an own office so you could work from home or Killian could have one room of his own, it would only be fair as he gave up his home for us." She is even more confused. All the flats Henry had searched for had only 2 bed-rooms except one which was even filthier than the first, so why did he want a bigger one now?
"Ok, kid, I get your point but all the other flats had also only two except for one, so why the change? This is a great apartment, you know?"
"Yes mom, but when I looked out of the window I saw a sign at the house next door. It's for sale and it looks so great!"
She takes a look out of the window, and detects a small house covered with white wood planks, a little garden with a swing in a huge tree and it has a really great porch around the front of the house and as if it wasn't enough the whole place is surrounded by a white picked-fence. A dream house for a family, it looks so domestic and cozy. She really can imagine, sitting on the porch and watching Henry play in the garden!
"You can close your mouth now, Love. Wanna take a look" Killian is standing behind her softly grapping her waist.
"Yes" she breathes out her answer and Henry is already on his way.
As soon as they're nearing the entrance a small lady comes out the house.
"Oh, this is a nice surprise, are you're interested in this little piece of jewellery, sheriff?
It's Martha Silver, the local estate agent.
"Please feel free to take a look around, it's the perfect place for a young family as yours" she winks at Killian.
They go through the rooms and Emma can't help the feeling that this is perfect.
Every room is like she imagined as a little girl her dream-house to be.
It has 4 bedrooms, the master with its own bathroom and a view of the ocean. There's even a big fireplace in the living room and from there you can go directly into the garden which had its own path to the beach and from the huge kitchen you can watch the backyard. The kitchen is new as well. She strides through the room, touching absentminded the counter of the kitchen. Although she isn't one who likes to cook, hey mac'n cheese can be counted as cooking, she sees herself working in this kitchen for her 2 boys while they're out in the garden.
She is at a loss for words, same as Killian and Henry. They know this is it and they know that they probably can't afford this place.
"This is amazing!" Henry shouts as he ran through the open door into the garden. She hasn't seen her son so avid about something that hasn't to do with some videogames in ages.
How can she break his hopes?
She turns to Mrs. Silver only to find Gold standing beside the broker.
"Miss Swan, I see my grandson like my house as much as I do." She looks at him confused.
"Yes it is mine, I bought it for Belle and me, got it renovated, but she prefers our home to be more central and near the library so that's why it is on the market."
"And how much will it cost?" She is really afraid to ask because she already loves it as much as Henry and she knows that Mr. Gold doesn't have his surname by nothing.
"Hmm, I think we can arrange a deal, Miss Swan"
Oh no, not again, no deal!
"You would be moving in together with Henry and the pirate?" She looks over at Killian who is currently standing outside with Henry mesmerized by the view of the ocean, so he didn't even see that his old foe is currently talking to her.
She nods.
"Ok, I always wished that somehow my son would end up with you again, but I know the connection you share with the pirate. But now about this deal I would like to suggest. You can have this house if the pirate agrees to a real truce, no hurting and fighting each other, especially not our loved ones. I married Belle last night and I want to have a good start in our marriage, now call your pirate and... "
"Deal" she is surprised to hear Killian's voice and apparently he is already behind her, reaching out his hand.
"And I think you owe us this, especially after how you tricked us in the past" His look at Gold is not a friendly one as he speaks this sentence but nonetheless Gold takes his hand and shakes it
"Take it as an apology Pirate and congratulations to your new home Miss Swan"
He turns around and Emma can't take in what just happened!
"Thank you!" she embraces Killian and grabs his collar to drag him into a deep kiss.
"Hugh, go to your room" a embarrassed Henry exclaims "There are children present" But at the fake annoyance in his tone, Emma and Killian just starts to laugh and they decided to go back to Granny's to celebrate their new home. As they're leaving Henry takes a last look to the garden and can only think that he and his little sibling will have a lot of fun at this place. It's so funny that his mom seems to be completely unaware about her pregnancy and he's really curious how Killian will react as it seems the pirate is really fond of children. He just smiles and follows the adults to Granny's.
