So guy's I decided to take a break from all the sadness I've put in this story and make this chapter very fluffy so I hope you enjoy.
"Snow and I have this little saying that we'll always find each other whenever we lose one other. And once again our point was proven right but let's stop losing each other for awhile now," Charming joked as he made this toast. In honor of everyone coming back from our world, our little group of friends decided to host a party at Grannie's for Emma, Snow, my dad, and I. It felt nice to return home but then there was the obvious reason for why I was sad.
"Well not everyone finds each other," I mumbled to myself as I swirled my straw around in my drink. It had been almost a week since we'd returned and it wasn't like I expected Killian to find me the next day it's just when you've spent so much time waiting for some one and then you finally find them, only to be torn a part from them again, it kinda sucks.
"Just be patient," Henry chimed as he sat right next me.
"Oh little bro where would I be without you," I sighed as I ruffled his hair. Just then the door opened and I looked to see Regina. According to Henry she had actually changed while we were gone so I felt actually happy to see her, not to mention she was the only mother figure I ever had. Our eye's connected as she came in and I smiled to her and went up to her and hugged her.
"I brought your favorite, I made lasagna," she told me as she showed me the dish she had brought with her.
Killian Jone's walked down the dark street's of Storybrooke that night trying to be as quiet as he could. For once he had gotten away from Cora,after getting to Storybrooke, and now all he really wanted, beside's his revenge on a certain crocodile, was to find a his mermaid. The street's seemed empty tonight and he debated whether or not he should walk into the open street to have a better chance of finding her. Fortunately at the same time he happened to be crossing someone's garden young Luna Lovegood also happened to notice him walk by her house as she searched for garden gnomes that night. She immediately recognized the pirate from Henry's story book and gasped at the sight of him. He was just as handsome and she thought he would be. And she also knew someone who would be happy to see him. She quickly opened her garden gate and chased after him.
"Excuse me sir, wait up," Her squeaky voice said as she caught up with him. Killian looked behind him and started to speed up his pace this child would definitely get him noticed.
"WAIT!" Luna shouted.
"Turn around little one," Killian warned her as he showed his hook to her but surprisingly her reaction was the exact opposite of what he expected. She smiled at him.
"You don't scare me! I know all about you, you have to come with me. Ms. Ariel will be so happy to see you," she said. That caught Killian's attention as he made himself seem kinder now to her, as he lowered himself down to her height.
"What'd you say there love?" he asked.
"My teacher Ms. Ariel! That's who you're looking for right? I know all about you and her! She's been so sad ever since she got back and now that you're here, she'll be so happy to see you!" Luna told him.
"Can you take me to Ms. Ariel?" he asked laughing at the name the child called her.
"Of course I can," she assured him as she grabbed onto his hand and led the way.
"Regina, where are you going?" I asked as I chased her out of the diner while she tried to sneak away from the party.
"Thought I'd call it a night besides I can tell when I'm not wanted" she said referring to pretty much everyone else in the diner besides Henry, Emma, and I.
"I want you here and so does Henry and Emma" I told her the truth.
"It's fine" she lied.
"Well I miss you," I admitted. I mean yes it was fun being back home with my dad and sister's but I missed my mommy sometimes. Sure she had her evil moments but when I needed her most she was right there.
"I miss you too" she gave me a sad smile.
"You know I'm thinking about buying a house actually, because it's a bit crowded at my dad's. So I was wondering wanna help me look? I was think about checking out some houses tomorrow?" I asked.
"I'd love too" she nodded.
"Alright see you then?" I hugged her goodbye as she walked back to her house. I stood outside for a moment and looked up at the stars as I let everything sink in. I let out a sigh when I thought about going back in until a tiny voice interrupted my thoughts.
"Psst Ms. Ariel" I looked towards the voice and saw Luna Lovegood.
"Luna what are you doing out here this late?" I asked her.
"Close your eye's I have a surprise for you" she whispered.
"This couldn't have waited till tomorrow?" I asked. She shook her head. I gave in after that, darn her adorableness.
She held up a scarf that looked very familiar and put it around my eyes. She then grabbed my hand and led me somewhere. I held my hands out waiting for myself to run into a wall or something and I was quite surprised when it landed on someone's chest, and that was when Luna stopped leading me. Whoever I was touching they wrapped their hand around mine and I felt this cold metal against my back as I was pulled towards this person. I soon realized who it was and pulled away for a moment as I took off the scarf and saw Killian.
"Thank you little one" Killian smiled at her taking her tiny hand in his and kissing the back of it. Luna giggled like...well a schoolgirl and quickly ran back home. I looked back at Killian and smiled at him.
"Hello there you" he smirked at me.
"Hi" I smiled at him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him and even managed to lift my feet off the ground for a moment. We looked into each others eyes and I grabbed his hand.
"You're coming with me" I told him as I led him towards my dad's apartment above the aquarium.
"I have a place to stay at already though" he explained.
"You think I'm going to let you out of my sight again?" I argued. Before he could say anything I just continued running and dragging him behind me. When we reached the apartment I let myself in and saw my sister's were eating take out in the living room. I quickly ran back out to Killian.
"Right, now slight problem..." I told him. "My sister's are here" Just then the door opened behind me and I saw my sister Adella, she let out a gasp when she saw Killian.
"Is this? Oh my god it is? GUY'S ARIEL BROUGHT HER TWROO WUV OVER" she screamed embarrassingly back to them. Killian just stood behind me awkwardly. Of course immediately after Adella's outburst all six sister's seemed to block the doorway and stare at him.
"We've heard loads about you"
"Is he staying in your room Ariel?"
"Oh wait till daddy see's this" they all seemed to say simultaneously.
"SHUT UP" I snapped at them. I managed to part them like the red seas and let Killian in.
"Sweetie, do you expect him to walk around in those clothes the whole time?" Attina asked. I personally liked the leather clothes but she was right on that, considering that he wouldn't fit in quite well here with the way he was dressed. All my sister's started to giggle and they somehow managed to shove the two of us into my dad's room so we could find modern day clothes for Killian.
"I'm sorry that is very much not the way I wanted you to meet my family for the first time" I apologized.
"Well they seem alright with us being together" he said.
"I guess being the baby means they have to make a big deal out of everything" I said.
"That's because it's you. You are the most important woman in the universe" he joked.
"Oh shut it you and put these on" I said as I threw clothes at him. I turned around and let him change. He managed to get the pants on alright but when he got to trying to put on a t-shirt he had "problems"
"I honestly need your help with this" he smiled. I rolled my eyes at him and blushed at his bare chest.
"If you can get a pair of pants on with one hand I'm sure a shirt is not that difficult" I teased.
"Well you see it's your father's shirt I have no shame in ripping my own clothes with this thing" he explained as he gestured to his hook "But I wouldn't dare damage clothing owned by the king of the sea" he said. I rolled my eyes again and helped him put his shirt on I managed to turn an even darker shade of red as my hands accidentally touched his abs and I could see him giving me this cheeky smile.
"Awwww" I heard my sisters say and I realized they had been peaking in on us. I glared at them and they laughed at me.
"Ah hem" my father's voice woke me up the next morning. I opened my eyes and saw him looking at me with this weird expression and I realized that Killian's arm was wrapped around my waist. We had spent most of the night talking and I thought he might have gone back to his ship after I had gone to sleep, but apparently that plan backfired. I elbowed Killian in the stomach and he lifted his head. Thank god we were both dressed or else this would have been even more awkward.
"Good morning sir" Killian said, he sounded actually a bit nervous and not cocky.
"Killian's back" I told my dad.
"I can see that" My dad commented as he crossed his arms.
"Are you wearing my shirt?" my dad asked. Killian didn't seem to know how to answer that question.
"Regina's downstairs waiting for you she said you two were going house searching today"
"Oh shit" I cursed at my forgetfulness. My dad looked at me.
"Fishpaste" I corrected myself. I started to get dressed and I noticed my dad glare at Killian and he left the room.
"I like how he's scared of me this is fun" my dad smiled at me before I shut the door on him. After I got dressed and started to head for the door Killian stopped me.
"I'm going to head back to my ship, so I'll see you soon" he promised.
"Alright" I nodded knowing he was telling the truth.
"Your father scares me" he admitted. And I smiled at him.
"I thought pirates like you weren't scared of anything"
"Yes but your father could create a hurricane just for the hell of it"
"Goodbye Killian" I said as I kissed him on the cheek. I turned back towards him before I reached the stairs and he gave me a small wave.
"Overall this house is a good purchase 3 bedrooms 1 bath, large kitchen not that far from the beach and not that far from town either" the realtor summarized as we finished looking at the house.
"Can you give me a moment?" I asked her. She nodded and I turned to Regina.
"I know how you usually say make sure you have other options, but I really want this house" I told her. I saw her smile at me.
"Well if it's what you want then go for it" she advised. I talked to the realtor and apparently the house had already been bought.
"But, then why are you showing it to me?" I asked.
"Because I bought it for you" Regina said as she placed the keys to the house in my hand.
"I was your mother for awhile sweetie I know what you like" she reminded me. The realtor smiled at us and left.
"THANK YOU!" I squealed as I hugged Regina.
"Do you need me to pay you back?" I asked her. She smiled at me and shook her head.
"Ariel I love you, and I would do anything these days to make you happy no matter what" she assured me. I felt so special no one had ever said anything like that to me before.
"Wanna ride back to town together and brag about the house?" she asked.
"I'm actually going to stay here for awhile and you know reminisce" I told her. She understood and left me to my solitude. I called up my dad.
"Hi Dad? Is Killian back yet?" I asked.
"He's just got in I'll hand him over to you. You speak into it. It's a way for you to talk to people across vast distance's" I could hear my dad try to explain to Killian how a phone worked. I giggled at how frustrated my dad sounded.
"Hello?" Killian's confused voice asked on the other line. I explained to Killian that I needed to see him quickly and gave him the address of where I was and he said that he would be there as soon as possible.
"See you soon, oh and I love you" I smiled into the phone.
"I'm afraid to see how your father will react when I answer to that" I stayed silent.
"Alright fine...I love you too" he answered.
"So what do I do now?" I could hear Killian ask my dad.
"You hang it up, no not on the shelf like that Killian" my dad responded. About a half an hour later Killian knocked on the door. I opened it and showed him the house.
"You like it?" I asked.
"I think you are going to have an excellent time living here it's much less cramped and quieter" he smiled. I held his hand.
"What would you think about staying here with me?" I asked. He looked at me and suddenly I realized that maybe I was moving to fast.
"I'm sorry you don't have to if you don't want to and I know your life is on the sea and I'll just be subjecting you to a life of normality but-" he held my chin in his hand made me look up at him.
"Yes" he answered as he leaned down and kissed me.
"Now the two other bedrooms, I get the feeling those aren't going to be guest rooms in the future" he stated.
"What will they be then?" I asked.
"I see them as future nurseries" he answered and smiled at me.
