With This Ring

Seven weeks. Seven stinking long weeks. It never took that long to execute a rescue mission. Neverland had been a long few weeks, but in a land where time stood still, it was hard to remember exactly how long they were there.

But it had been torture. They had found Killian in the Underworld with no problem. But getting back to Storybrooke was another problem. So, they found themselves stuck in the Underworld for the seven had finally figured out a way was obvious everyone was itching to get back, especially those who had left their children in the care of the fairies.

The travel was tiring. It took longer to leave the Underworld than it did to come, but Emma was not complaining. Killian was alive, everything would be alright. They had used the past seven weeks to talk about all that needed to be discussed-their time as the Dark Ones, decisions both of them made, things that were said. At one point, when apologies were no longer being given, they changed the subject and started to talk about the future.

They were both open, very open, to a future together. Once they got back, they would move into the house he had gotten and finally start that future. Emma was excited. For the first time in her life, she was not scared of the future.

Thoughts of the future were the only thing that kept Emma sane during the trip back. That and Killian's strong arm around her shoulder. He could tell when she would get nervous or anxious and pull her closer into his embrace.

Time faded and Emma did not realize they were back until Henry let out a holler of excitement. The Operation had been a success. No one really took time to celebrate though. Mary-Margaret and David made sure their daughter was alright before rushing to see Neal. Robin and Regina took Henry to go get Roland and the new baby, who was still yet to be named in the midst of all the chaos.

Emma and Killian stood in silence, neither one processing the fact that it was all over. Finally, Emma stepped forward and put her arms around him. He pulled her close and she rested her head on his chest. They did not speak, but they did not need to. They both knew what it meant. They could finally relax and have the future they both fought to hard for.

Emma leaned back out of his embrace to remove the necklace with his ring that she had been wearing ever since he had given it to her. She gently placed it around his neck and smiled up at him.

"I would rather not make any more trips to the underworld, so why don't you wear this." Emma explained as she patted the necklace that now lay on his chest.

He laughed. "My love, it's yours. I know I no longer need it to survive. You are reason enough." Killian kissed her forehead.

"Killian, I would really prefer if you took it back. I can not go through that all again." She pushed.

"And you won't." He reassured her. "I am not going anywhere."

"We are safe now. I don't need the ring. I know I have a dashing pirate that love me." Emma teases a bit, but she was completely serious. She knew he loved her, she did not need anything else to tell her so.

Killian raised an eyebrow at her, that ever present smirk returning. "Alright then, I'll take the necklace back, but on one condition. You let me give you a new one."

Before Emma could respond, his lips were on hers. They had not had a plethora of quiet moments, but she learned to enjoy the ones they had. She smiled into the kiss, before he leaned back, tugging a chain over his neck with his good hand. Emma looked to the ring hanging off of it to find, not Liam's ring, but a silver band with a single diamond.

Emma looked up at him, confused. He leaned to whisper in her ear. "This time I'm proposing."

Before Emma's mind could catch up with what was going on, Killian was before her, down on one knee, shooting a nervous smile up at her. "My Swan, my love. You are my everything. I love you more than I could ever describe. These past few weeks have shown me that what I want more than anything else is a future with you, no matter what it may look like. So, Emma, will you marry me?"

Emma whispered a quiet yes through the tears as he removed the ring from the chain and slipped the ring on her finger. He stood up quickly, wrapping her up in his arms and lifting her up off the ground and whispering I love you's in her ear.

"I know it's small, but-"

"It's perfect." Emma cut him off. "I love it. And you."

"I guess it's a good thing I have that ring now." He told her."I need to survive your father until the wedding."

Emma laughed, but instead of responding, kissed him again.

That night at the celebratory dinner at Granny's, it was good news all around. Robin and Regina announced the name of the little girl-now to be known as Raelee Danielle. Belle announced her own pregnancy, stating she found out while everyone else was in the Underworld and had just told Rumple today. Finally, when things started to settle down, Killian gathered everyone's attention and told them of the latest milestone in his relationship with Emma. The family was ecstatic, especially Henry, who let everyone know that Operation Light Swan was his idea and had been a major success.

Emma took in the scene in front of her. Her job as Savior had been to restore the happy endings, but she was pretty sure everyone was doing a fine job at finding their own. As for her and her pirate, they surely had their own happy ending in store.
