Remembering Us-

Chapter Three

Emma stared at her mother, waiting for her to respond "Well?"

Snow swallowed hard, worried about her daughters reaction "Killian.."

"Killian?" Thinking for a moment "Hook?" Emma looked at Henry for a second before looking back at Snow.

"Yes, you've been together for three years now. You got married 6 months ago.." Snow waiting in anticipation as Emma processed the information.

"Hook?" Emma shook her head "No that doesn't make sense, I mean he shot Belle, he tried to kill Gold, Henry's grandfather… He's one of the worst pirates in history. I mean, I wouldn't" Emma started to panic.

"Mom he's changed, he's a good person now" Henry tried reassuring her.

Emma shook her head "No, he tried to stop us from getting home to you, he tried to kill us.." Emma looked at Snow.

"He never would have killed us Emma, he was just blinded by revenge for what Gold did to his first love" Snow went to reach for Emma's hand.

"NO!" Emma pulled her hand away "I couldn't love someone like that" Emma wrapped her arms around herself.

"I'm gonna get us some drinks" Henry stood up "Come on Neal, let's get some hot chocolate"

"Yeah!" Neal jumped off Snow's lap, running after Henry.

Snow got up from the chair, sitting on the bed facing Emma "I know this is allot to take in… And you don't have to accept it straight away but I will say this, that man loves the bones of you and you him."

Emma continued to look down at her lap, Snow sighed, picking up her phone.

'Emma knows about Killian, she's a little overwhelmed, I'll try and convince her to see him.' S xx

"Why is he called Neal?" Emma asked quietly, still looking down.

"Well, we called him that in memory of Neal, he did allot for us, you and Henry. We thought it was appropriate" Snow put her phone away.

Emma nodded, her eyes filling with tears "He's really gone?" She looked at Snow, tears falling down her cheeks.

"Oh honey" Snow moved, sitting next to Emma on the bed, holding her tightly "Yes he is, I'm sorry baby"

Emma sniffed, resting her head on Snow's shoulder "It's not like I really loved him, like I should have but…"

"But he was a big part of your life, you share a child. You're allowed to cry" Snow soothed Emma, letting her cry for a while.

"You're very lucky, only a few cracked ribs and a badly bruised shoulder." Whale handed Killian some pain killers "Take these, two three times a day for the next week, will help with the pain. And keep off the rum with those"

Killian rolled his eyes "Bloody brilliant" He took the pills from Whale, putting them in his pocket. He sighed, looking at the clock on the wall. He rubbed his forehead, all he wanted to do was go see Emma and hold her,he knew right now he couldn't, to her he was basically a stranger. There was so much that she suddenly couldn't remember. Their time in Neverland, going back in time, saving her parents, her becoming the Dark One, him dying and coming back to life. Their wedding, their baby. Killian shook the thoughts from his head, stepping down from the bed slowly. He grabbed his jacket and left the room.

David was sitting outside waiting for him "Hey" He stood when Killian opened the door, marching down the hallway "Where are you going?" He asked, hurrying after him, already knowing the answer.

"To see my wife.." Killian explained, determined to see her, hoping it will bring her memories back. Although he was sure it won't be that easy.

"Kill.. slow down" David caught up to his Son-In-Law, grabbing his arm lightly.

"Please don't try and stop me.." Killian looked at David, desperation in his eyes.

David sighed "I'm not but you can't just go bursting in there, let me go in first, convince her to see you. OK?" Killian nodded, knowing David was right.

Emma sat with Snow, having calmed down a little. She was looking at picture's of baby Neal on Snow's phone, with Snow telling her some funny stories about him. Suddenly a wave of nausea came over Emma, she took a deep breath, curving the need to be sick.

"You alright?" Snow looked at her daughter, taking the phone from her hands.

"Yeah just a little nauseas, probably where I hit my head.." Emma leant her head back on her pillows, hoping relaxing would help.

Snow looked down for a second, wondering whether to tell Emma about to the baby yet or not, maybe she should leave it till the morning, let her rest but then she has to know at some point and she is feeling sick, she should know why.. Deciding to bite the bullet, Snow took a deep breath "About that… there's something else you should know.."

"What now? I'm having an affair with August" Emma laughed but frowned when she see the seriousness in her mother's face. She sat up again "What is it?"

"Well… Your probably feeling sick for another reason.." Snow placed her phone down and took Emma's hand "Sweetie.. You're also pregnant.."

Emma stared at Snow for a moment, blinking a few times. This was crazy, the last thing she could remember she was on Hook's ship in the middle of the ocean on the way to Neverland to rescue her son from Peter Pan. Now she was married to the pirate who owns the ship and also pregnant with his child.

"How- how far along am I?" Emma asked, not really knowing what else to say.

"Um.. a week off three months, you've had pretty bad morning sickness, probably why you feel sick.." Emma nodded, taking in Snow's information. Suddenly she felt really tired, her brain struggling with everything.

David knocked on the door gently, opening it "Hey.." He let himself into the room, closing the door behind himself "How are you feeling?"

Emma shrugged, unable to speak. She just looked at him and smiled weakly.

"I just told her about the baby" Snow told her husband, standing up off the bed.

David nodded, he knew the best thing was to let Emma rest but he didn't have the heart to go and tell Killian he couldn't see her. "Listen uh…" He walked over to her bed, placing a hand on her shoulder "Killian is outside, he just wants to see you, see if you're alright. If you're not up to it then I'll send him away"

Emma thought for a moment, wondering how he must be feeling, last thing she remembers her father hated Hook, now he clearly cared for him. She nodded slowly "But only for a minute, I'm really tired"

David nodded standing up and walking over to the door, Snow sat back next to Emma, putting a protective arm around her. David nodded at Killian, who walked slowly into the room.

His heart sank when he see her, although he was relived to see her she was looking at him almost like he was nothing. Which to her right now that's what he was. Unsure what to do he stood at the end of her bed "How are you?"

Emma nodded "I'm fine" She answered quietly "You?"

"Little banged up but I'll survive" He chuckled, looking at her face, into her eyes. His heart ached, all he wanted was to take her in his arms and never let go but he couldn't all he could do was stand at the foot of her bed and make small talk. Unable to take any more he looked his feet "Right well, I'll let you sleep. See you tomorrow. Goodnight" He hurried out of the room, knowing he would break if he looked at her again.

A tear rolled down Emma's cheek, he looked so hurt. A world away from the last time she had seen him, she sighed "I'm really tired" Emma looked at her parents.

"I'm gonna take Killian home then come back and sleep here with you for the night.." David walked over and kissed both his girls on the forehead before leaving.

"I'll go get the boys and head home, let you rest. I'll see you in the morning honey" She kissed Emma on the forehead and hugged her tightly.

"I love you mom" Emma said, realising that's the first time she had said that, that she could remember.

"I love you too sweetie" Snow smiled at Emma before grabbing her bag and leaving Emma alone.

Emma laid down, looking up at the ceiling, her mind spinning with everything that's happened. Her life had changed so much, it seemed perfect, she finally had everything she wanted and yet she couldn't remember a single piece of it. Sleep slowly crept up on her.

Killian woke up the next morning, forgetting for a second that Emma wasn't there, remembering as soon as he turned, expecting to see her sleeping soundly next to him. He sighed, dragged himself out of the bed. He hadn't slept much, to worried about Emma, worried that she won't get her memories back, worried that she won't fall back in love with him, worried that his happy ending was being snatched from under him.

He gathered all the strength he had to get in the shower and get dressed. Going down the stairs to make some coffee, his phone buzzed on the table.

'Whale wants to talk to us, be at the hospital in 30 minutes. David'

Killian nodded, downing his coffee and heading out the door.

Emma sat nervously in her bed, she was feeling a little better this morning, she had managed to have some breakfast and change out of a hospital gown into some sweats her mother had brought in for her.

Emma and her parents were sitting waiting for to come in and discuss Emma's recovery.

Killian took a deep breath and walked slowly in the room "Morning" He said softly, he looked at Emma briefly before sitting next to David.

"I text him" David told Emma, who nodded, David turned to Killian "How do you feel this morning?"

"Sore but alright" He glanced up at Emma, who was staring down at her hands.

walked into the room "Morning Emma, how are we feeling this morning?" He stood at the foot of the bed.

"A little better" Emma smiled weakly

"Good" Whale nodded "Well, I'd like to keep you in for a few more days, monitor the baby, I'm pretty certain that everything will be alright but because your so early in the pregnancy I just wanna keep you in a few days"

"What about her memories?" Killian asked, trying to stay calm.

"Well.. it's tricky, Emma's memory loss isn't from a curse or magic, brains are tricky organs to predict. My advice is once your able to leave, go home. Try and get to your normal life. It may trigger some memories to return"

Killian looked down, nodding

"I'm sorry, I know that's probably not what you wanted to hear." Whale looked at Emma "I'll come back later on to check on you"

Emma nodded "Thank you" Whale nodded and left the room, leaving the family alone.

Snow was the first to talk "Well.. why don't I drop by your house, grab some clothes and books for you? Seen as your stuck in here for a few days"

"Um.. OK" Emma smiled at her mother.

Killian stood up "I'll come with you"

"No you don't have to.." Snow put on her coat.

"No, I left my pain killers at the house and I haven't had breakfast yet so…" Killian glanced at Emma once again, wanting so badly to kiss her goodbye, tell her he loved her but he didn't want her to feel awkward.

"Alright…" Snow looked at David "We won't be long" She smiled before leaving with Killian.

David looked at Emma, who was staring at the door "You alright?"

"He looks so hurt…" Emma said, a sadness to her tone.

"He's just worried about you… I know all of this is really overwhelming but just give him a chance… you did it once"

Emma nodded, knowing her father was right. If she was going home with him in a few days she would have to give him a fare chance. Emma unconsciously placed a hand on her stomach, smiling slightly when she realised what she had done. She was going to have another baby, be a mom again. For the first time since she woke up yesterday Emma felt happy.
