~~~Emma's P.O.V~~~
I was walking along lost in my own thoughts when I felt someone come running into me and send me hurtling towards the ground, it surprised me when I felt my landing wasn't the cold hard ground but a soft body dressed in leather. I instantly knew who it was.
"Emma" he spoke, in almost a whisper. I couldn't believe that it was really him he was here right where I needed him.
"Killian" I replied before leaning in and slowly kissing him letting my body melt into his. Until I felt that he wasn't reciprocating in the same way.
"As much as I am enjoying this reunion we have to go now and get to a safe place" he replied to me before slowly sitting up with me ending up sat on top of him.
"Why what's going on Hook what's wrong?" I asked slowly getting to my feet and ready to run by the way that Hook was talking.
"There's no time to explain now we all need to get to safety," Hook followed suit by standing up giving me a quick kiss and putting one hand on my stomach. This stopped me in my tracks, how did he know before I had told him. I was still lost when he grabbed my hand and pulled me along running with him.
Hook, the girl and I ran as fast as all three of us could manage, them being slowed because of injuries and me because I hadn't eaten properly in a few days and what I had eaten I had thrown up therefore giving me no energy source.
We ran through the streets me shouting directions when I could getting us all to my parents flat. I could see the building approaching and knew this was almost it we were almost there and safe when my legs turned to jelly and it was all I could do to get to the nearest lamppost to keep myself upright.
"Emma come on we need to go," I heard Killian shout at me, I couldn't, I just couldn't take another step on my own.
"Killian go, get to the flat and be safe take her with you, my dad or someone can come help me once you're back," I shouted back just wanting him to be safe. It seemed to resonate in him that something was wrong when I openly asked for help because he turned around and came to me.
"Look out for yourself and never get hurt, and that works until the day that it doesn't right? That's what you said to me that day in the diner and that's what I'm going to do," he looked me straight in the eye whilst speaking letting me know he wasn't going anywhere. He then slowly wrapped his arm under my shoulders, not quite having the strength to lift me, and together we managed to get back into the safety of the building.
"I'm safe here go up and get someone else, you need to heal as well don't hurt yourself on the account of me," I told him placing myself on the bottom step leaning my head against the cold, bare wall.
"Okay, someone will be right down to get you, Swan" he smiled at my nickname before disappearing up the stairs with the girl. Finally I let myself just have a moment of weakness closing my eyes to stop the tears of relief at finding hook and terror of having a child.
"Emma are you okay?" My dad came down the stairs and sat down next to me wrapping an arm around me, "How did you find Hook what's going on he said you needed help?"
"I'm okay dad just no energy left so my legs gave out that's all, no big deal," hoping that he would just take my hint and not push the issue any further.
"If you say so, how about I take you up and we can get you something to eat and drink then," he looked at me suspiciously not quite believing my story but dropping it anyway knowing that I wasn't going to tell him anything anyway.
"Toast and water sounds good" I smiled up at him and took a deep breath letting him wrap one arm under my knees and the other around my back to carry me upstairs. Whilst he was walking I buried my head in his chest like a little girl who had just fallen over and scraped her knee, although the circumstances were somewhat different. And of course as soon as we walked through the doors my mother was there ready to fuss over me until I could stand it no more.
"Emma what's wrong baby what's going on? I know there is something you aren't telling us, a stomach bug wouldn't affect you this much," my back had hardly hit the sofa when she was all over me fussing and putting blankets over me.
"God mum stop please, I'm fine I don't need you fussing over me," I said pushing off the blankets and indicating for Killian to come over and sit with me, which of course my mother disapproved off, but I didn't care I had everything I needed to feel better right there then. Once Killian had carefully sat next to me he wrapped his arm around me and let me rest my head on hi shoulder.
"Right Emma eat and drink up, now that we have Hook we can concentrate on getting back to Storybrooke," my dad said coming over and placing the lightly buttered toast on my lap and water just in my reach on the table and some of the cooked breakfast that they had prepared before for Killian. As much as I knew we had to get out of this place, now more than ever as we had the little unforeseen circumstance to take into account.
"Actually we may have a few things to deal with first," Killian looked up at everyone else knowing that he had to explain where he was before I found him, even I didn't know so I sat up a bit and started nibbling on my toast listening to his story.
"So there is someone here that we may need to defeat before we are able to get back to Storybrooke." he began, "his name's Hades and he is out to get us in some way, he knows things even before we know them ourselves, he has told me something big that I didn't believe at first but now I guess I do, what I'm saying is he is going to do everything in his power to stop us from leaving this place, we need to start thinking about how to defeat him," he finished looking around at everyone, to leave us wondering what he got told.
"What was it that he told you?" Rumple asked looking intrigued that Hades had powers even he didn't. Killian didn't say anything for a minute he just slowly reached his hand around my waist and lightly placed his hand on my stomach and I instantly knew what he had been told, he knew about my baby.
"Oh only that you guys were here and he would do everything in his power to stop us from leaving, it took all we had to escape," he looked at the girl across the room and smiled almost checking that she wasn't going to say anything about what Hades actually told him, that was a secret between us three I guess.
"But we need to get out of here as fast as we can, mum is sick and she needs medical care that isn't provided here," Henry piped up looking at me with concern painted all across his face.
"I thought you said what Emma had wasn't serious?" David looked at Regina questionably. I knew no one who knew was going to say anything but I still had this irrational fear that it could somehow get leaked.
"It isn't but antibiotics would help," I saved Regina from what could have been an awkward conversation.
"Well then we need to come up with a plan and soon," Robin came in from the kitchen with tea coffee and hot chocolate for everyone, however all I wanted to do was go curl up in bed with Killian and talk things through with him. Somehow he knew exactly what I wanted and stood up offering his arm out to me.
"If you don't mind Emma and I have a few things to discuss first, we will be back down shortly," and before anyone could process we helped each other walk up the stairs. Slowly I lay on my bed cuddling up to him finally feeling at home for the first time since I had to drive excalibur through him.
"So? A baby? How are you feeling other than sick because it's not hard to tell you look like you're on death's door," he told me slowly rubbing his arm up and down my arm. I looked up at him with a half smile on my face.
"Well I've got you to blame for the morning sickness, I hardly got any at all with Henry. But yeah I guess we are having a baby, you okay with that? I know it's not exactly planned but if you're happy to keep it then I want this baby with you, I want us to be a family," I replied with deep sincerity, all i had ever wanted since i was a young child was to have a family to love and be loved by and now I finally have a chance.
"Well we might have to do something about my Hook, I wouldn't want to hurt our future child, or possible children if we like this one, but other than that I don't see any reason not to have a child," he looked at me with so much love that I knew despite his jokey manner he was still sincere.
"I guess we are going to have a baby, but Henry is right, we need to get out the underworld there is one thing being pregnant but no one knows what happens when a living person comes to the underworld, but even less is known about children, or even if the baby is born here," I replied seriously knowing that I wouldn't be able to properly relax until we had figure everything out and we were home.
"Swan don't worry so much about it all, nothing bad is going to happen I promise you, I'm not going to let it. No matter what happens you and our baby are going home safe and sound," he ran his fingers through my hair relaxing my physical state but doing nothing for my over thinking mind.
"You don't know that, and I'm not going anywhere without you, this is our chance to be a family this baby Henry you and me, I'm not going to let anything stop that," I told him, I am the saviour and even though it's getting a more and more personal job it just made me want to do it better than ever.
"We'll see Swan we'll see" and with that our conversation came to its natural end for the time being, we had so much more to discuss but for now we were content in what we had decided. Before I knew it I had fallen asleep with Killian's arms wrapped around me, one hand on my stomach with one of his folded over mine.
