Thanks so much for the reviews :) I really appreciate them! This next one-shot is set when Killian returns from the underworld. Basically my take of that moment and what should have happened after.
Emma stood in silence while she stared at Robin's grave. She knew that she probably shouldn't be standing there crying over Robin when Regina is hurting, but she kept having flashbacks to Killian's funeral. Tears started slowly falling down her face and she wished she had Killian's shoulder to cry on. She shut her eyes and tried to push down the pain, but she finally broke down and let out ugly sobs. She fell down to her knees and held her head in her hands. She would give anything to just go back to that six weeks of bliss, where everyone was alive and happy. Before Gold came back, before she became the dark one, before everything went to hell- literally. She took a deep breath and wiped away her tears. She stood up and moved to walk away when she heard a familiar voice say one word,
"Swan?"
She whipped around and found Killian standing there with big smile on his face that quickly turned into a look of worry once he saw her tear streaked face. She shook her head, "No, NO! This isn't real, it can't be. I must be dreaming." She began to cry again.
Killian immediately ran towards her and wrapped his arms around her tightly, "Love, I'm real. I'm here and I never intend to leave again."
Emma looked into his eyes and touched his face, "You're really here? How?"
"I went to move on to a better place and Zeus escorted me and I walked into the big bright light and then I ended up here," He explained to her disbelieving eyes.
She lightly pressed her lips to his and started crying again. Killian held her tighter and she started smiling, "I love you so much, Killian."
He smiled down at her and kissed her temple, "I love you too."
They stood there for what seemed like hours, just holding each other until Killian noticed that they were in the cemetery. "Love, what were you doing here?"
Emma instantly saddened and explained to him Robin's death. When she finished, she noticed that his eyes were shining with unshed tears and she hugged him again, giving him a shoulder to cry on. She ran her fingers through his inky hair and whispered comforting murmurs in his ear. Eventually, he looked up at her and noticed his mother's ring on a chain around her neck. He looked at Emma, who was looking at him, and got down on one knee.
"Emma, I know you want to run, but I'm begging you to stay put. I'm not going to lie and say that I've been planning this for months, but I have thought about being with you forever. I love you Emma Swan and I know you love me. You went to hell and back for me and I will be eternally grateful for you. You're family's motto is that you will always find each other, and I know that I will always find you when you run, just like you would do for me. In Camelot we talked about our future, and I want to start it now. Emma Swan, will you marry me?"
She nodded and started crying tears of joy. She kissed him deeply and grinned. "Of course I will!" He picked her up and twirled her around as she giggled. Killian undid the chain around her neck and put the ring on her finger. He smiled at her hand when he realized that it fit her perfectly and hugged Emma tightly.
"Emma, are you okay? You've been here for two hours and I know you miss Robin but- Killian? Is that you?" Snow said as she walked over to the area where she left her daughter. She walked over and hugged Killian, "How did you get back? I thought you couldn't leave?"
"It appears that Emma is my better place," Killian explained.
Snow smiled at him and noticed Emma's left hand. "Did you propose?"
Killian gulped and put his arm around Emma's waist, "Yes, I apologize for not asking permission, but obviously I couldn't, since I was dead and all."
Snow chuckled at his nervous babbling, "Welcome to the family. I'm happy for the both of you."
Killian looked relieved and kissed Emma's temple one more time. Emma smiled up at him and he returned it with a grin.
"As much as I would love to parade Killian around Storybrooke, Regina is really hurting and I really don't want the Evil Queen to make a reappearance, so I think Killian and I will just go to my house and give Regina some time to cope." Emma explained to her mother and future husband.
Snow nodded, "You know you guys would be welcome in the loft, we have room."
Emma smiled at her mom, "Thanks for the offer, but you guys barely had room for me and Henry. You guys don't have room for Killian too, and you know Dad would flip."
Snow smiled, "He's gonna flip anyway when he finds out you guys are engaged, but he'll be happy for you both."
Emma smiled and hugged her mom, "Thank you, I love you, Mom."
"I love you too, Emma. Now go and hide your hubby to be," Snow said with a wink.
Emma rolled her eyes and grabbed Killian's hand. She waved her other hand and they were suddenly in Emma's house from when she was a dark one. Killian's hand gripped hers tighter and asked Emma, "Are you sure you want to still live here?"
Emma kissed Killian, "There's no place I'd rather live. I've gotten rid of everything bad I had as a dark one. True, there are some bad memories here, but that's all the more reason to make happy memories here."
Killian grinned and said, "You're right, as always."
Emma kissed him, "I'm going to Granny's to check on Regina and get something to eat. Stay here and call me if you need me."
Killian sighed, "Alright, I'll see you soon, Swan."
Emma kissed him one more time and transported herself to Granny's. She didn't feel like driving there and she didn't want Killian to wait for very long. She noticed Henry in the corner talking to her father.
"Can I talk to the two of you privately?" Emma asked the casually. The pair nodded and followed her outside. "So, I have some news. It's going to be shocking and confusing, but believe me, it's true."
Henry smiled at his mother, "Mom, just tell us."
Emma took a big breath in, "Okay, here it goes. Killian is back from the underworld. Apparently I'm his better place or whatever. I left him at my house because I didn't want Regina to go all Evil Queen, but I promise he's there. Oh, and we got engaged."
Henry grinned and hugged his mother, "I'm so happy for you Mom! So Killian is gonna be my Dad! That is so cool!"
She chuckled, "Yeah, kid, I guess so. But you should probably ask him if you can call him Dad before you start calling him that. We don't want him to have a heart attack."
Henry nodded, "Okay, and I guess I shouldn't be shouting it off the rooftops?"
"That's right; I want to give Regina some space before announcing him. I don't think it would blow over well." She ruffled Henry's hair and looked over at her father, who smiled at her.
"Emma, this is great. I'm so proud of you." David told Emma.
"Proud of me? Why?"
"Because you didn't run. You opened up your heart and let Killian in."
Emma grinned and hugged her Dad, "Thank you. Now do you think you can order something to go so I can bring something home to Killian without it looking suspicious?"
David laughed, "Yeah, I think I can do that."
Emma smiled and led Henry and her father inside Granny's. She noticed Regina at the bar and could tell that Regina didn't want to be bothered. She walked over to her and suggested, "If you want, I can take Henry for as long as you need so you can get drunk off your ass and not see anyone."
Regina looked up at Emma and gave her a small smile, "Thank you, Emma. I really appreciate it."
"No problem. Anytime." Emma told the hurting woman.
She walked over to Granny and ordered a grilled cheese and onion rings for herself. A few minutes later, she was walking out with food for her, Killian, and Henry and poofing herself and Henry home. When she got there, she noticed Killian asleep on the couch with a book in his lap. She smiled and kissed him softly. He stirred and smirked at her when he opened his eyes.
"Now this is a nice way to wake up." He muttered, still half asleep.
Emma snorted, "I brought you some food. Oh, and Henry is here and he knows about us being engaged so prepare yourself."
Killian chuckled and stood up, only to be attacked by Henry hugging him. Emma burst out laughing at Killian's shocked face and pulled Henry off of him.
"Look kid, I'm glad you are so happy but Killian is an ex-pirate that will not hesitate to sink his hook into anyone who attacks him, so for your own safety, slow down." Emma said with a giggle.
Henry laughed and slowly hugged Killian, "I'm sorry, I'm just so happy that you are going to marry my mom and be my dad. Is it okay if I call you dad?"
Killian looked at Emma with wide eyes and she nodded. He looked down at Henry and ruffled his hair, "Of course, Lad."
Emma almost started crying when she saw Henry look up at Killian and grin at him. Killian grinned back and hugged Henry again. Emma began to set the table as the two main men in her life had a father-son moment. She listened to Henry babble on about showing Killian some pirate movie and Killian promising to take Henry sailing some time.
"All right you two; let's eat before our food gets cold." Emma told them.
Killian and Henry came to the table and grabbed their food. Killian gave Emma a kiss before he began to eat. Emma smiled as Henry and Killian chatted. When they finished eating, Emma told Henry to go to bed.
"But Mom, I want to talk to Dad a bit longer. Please?" Henry begged.
"Lad, as much as I want to keep talking to you, your mother is right. It's late and I saw you yawning. Go to bed, I'll see you in the morning." Killian responded.
Henry sighed, "Fine, goodnight Mom, goodnight Dad."
Emma kissed Henry's forehead, "Goodnight, Kid."
Killian gave Henry a hug and told him, "Goodnight, Lad."
Once Henry was upstairs, Emma wrapped her arms around Killian's neck and said, "Look at you, we haven't even been engaged for a full day and you're already becoming a Dad."
"What do you mean, Swan?" He asked her.
She kissed him softly. "You're acting like a father to Henry. Telling him to go to bed when he was arguing, promising him that you will continue to give him sailing lessons. You're turning into a father, and it's kind of hot."
He smirked, "Oh yeah?"
She began to lead him upstairs, "Yeah."
He picked her up and carried her up to their bedroom, whispering promises of forever and happiness.
