Chapter Three

Flowers

Emma had a pretty uneventful day. She threw up a few more times that morning but around 11, it stopped. So, she just sat on the couch either reading a book or watching Netflix. A few times she got up and ate some crackers, but she was really craving a cheeseburger and fries. So she decided to order Granny's.

Since Granny's didn't deliver, Emma called in and ordered her food. She wanted just to magic there but she knew that if she was actually sick, her magic could go crazy, so she just got in her bug. She made sure that it wasn't Killian's lunch break and then drove to Grannys.

She ran into the diner as fast as she could. She saw her meal on the counter and threw money on the counter and then ran back out.

"Emma, what has you in such a rush?" David asked, turning the corner.

Emma's eyes widened. "Where's Killian?"

"He's on patrol. I'm getting us lunch. Killian told me you were sick. So why are you getting Granny's? It'll just make it worse, ya know?"

Emma laughed nervously. "Killian worries to much, Dad. I'm fine. I decided to stay home just in case 'cause I didn't want to get anyone sick. I'm fine, Dad. Seriously."

David nodded. "Okay. If you say so." He started walking towards Granny's.

"And Dad?" Emma called.

David looked at her. "Yeah?"

"Don't tell Killian you saw me. He will kill me if he finds out I got Granny's. He thinks I'm really sick."

David laughed and nodded. "Okay, Emma. I won't. Feel better, okay?'

Emma nodded and ran back to her car. Emma knew she couldn't speed because Killian was on patrol and she didn't want to get pulled over by her husband.

As soon as Emma got home, she plopped herself on the couch and started munching on her fries.

"Back from patrol already?" David asked Killian, walking into the station.

Killian nodded. "Aye. The town has been rather quiet since we trapped Gold." Killian was right. It had been five years since Gold tried to cast the time spell. There hasn't been a powerful villain since then.

David set down a take out bag from Granny's on Killian's desk. "There you go. Lunch is served."

Killian smiled. "Thanks, Dave." Killian took his food out of the bag and started eating it. Then he looked at the picture on his desk. It was a picture of him, Emma, Harper, and Henry at Henry's high school graduation. Killian looked at David. "Should I go check in on Emma?"

David's eyes widened slightly. "No, no. She's fine. Well, I don't exactly know that, but she's strong. She can take care of herself."

Killian nodded slowly at David's ramble. Something was up. "You're right. I'll see her in a few hours. It's fine."

David nodded. Thank goodness, he thought.

The next couple hours flew by. Killian had to go pick up Harper from school and go home. He decided that he wasn't going back to the station after because Emma needed to rest and feel better.

Emma laid on the couch. She was watching Netflix, but wasn't really paying attention. She was looking at pictures of Henry on her phone. He had a few weeks left in his second semester of college and then he was coming home for Christmas break. Emma hadn't seen him since he drove out of the driveway a few months ago at the start of the semester. He had called and Skyped more times than she could count, but it wasn't the same.

Emma decided that since Henry should be out of class by now, that she could FaceTime him.

Henry answered immediately. "Hey, Mom!" he said.

Emma smiled. "Hey, kid. How are you doing?"

Henry shrugged. "Good. What about you? Are you on your way to pick up Harper?"

Emma shook her head. "No, I'm at home. I was throwing up this morning and Killian decided that I needed to stay home."

Henry chuckled. "Sounds like Dad."

Emma nodded and laughed. "Yeah."

"Are you feeling better?"

Emma nodded. "I feel fine. I even went to Granny's and got a cheeseburger, don't tell Killian that."

Henry chuckled. "I won't. And a cheeseburger? That doesn't sound like you."

Emma shrugged. "I just felt like one."

Henry laughed. "How's Harper doing? Did she have a good first day of school?"

Emma nodded. "Yeah. She was nervous when we dropped her off, but she was okay. Ashley is her teacher."

"She lucked out, huh? What is Grandma teaching?" Henry asked.

"3rd grade. She wanted to teach Neal this year so she's his teacher," Emma explained. Neal was now eight. He grew up so fast.

"Neal's in 3rd grade already?" Henry asked. "Wow. He's growing up fast."

Emma nodded. "I know. I hate it."

"Are Neal and Harper pretty close?"

Emma nodded. "We can't keep them apart when we're at your grandparents' house."

Henry laughed. "Sounds like them."

Emma nodded. "Yeah." Emma heard a distant shout on Henry's side.

Henry looked back and nodded. He looked at Emma again. "I gotta go, Mom. I love you."

"Love you too. Stay safe."

Henry smiled. "I will. Bye." He hung up.

Emma looked at the time. 2:30. Killian was going to be home in 30 minutes.

"Daddy!" Harper squealed, running into Killian's arms after school.

Killian smiled and picked her up. He held her in a hug. "Hey, lass. Have a good day?"

Harper nodded and Killian set her on his hip. "Yeah. I saw Neal."

Killian widened his eyes. "You did?" he said, trying to act surprise.

Harper nodded. "Yeah! I did! I also saw Grandma! Did you know that she's Neal's teacher?"

"She is?" Killian tried to sound like this was all news to him.

Harper nodded again. "Yeah! Yeah! Can Grandma be my teacher next year?"

Killian shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe."

Harper smiled. "Where's Mommy?"

"She's at home."

Harper nodded. "Can we get her flowers to make her feel better?"

Killian smiled. "That's a wonderful idea. Let's go." Killian buckled Harper into her booster seat and then started to drive towards the flower shop. When they got there, Harper was bouncing in her seat. "Calm down, little one. The flowers will still be there in a minute," Killian laughed.

Harper nodded. "I know! I'm just excited!" Killian got Harper unbuckled and pulled her out the door. He set her on the ground and held her hand. "Come one, Daddy! Hurry!" Harper tried to pull her dad to the flower shop quickly.

Killian laughed and walked faster. "Alright, alright. I'm coming."

Harper smiled. She skipped the rest of the way to the store. When they got in, Harper smiled. "The flowers are so pretty!"

Killian nodded. "Why yes, they are. What kind of flowers should we get Mommy?"

Harper looked around and pointed at a bunch of flowers. "Those ones!" She was pointing to a bouquet that had red roses and blue tulips.

Killian smiled. "Perfect." He picked up the bouquet and let Harper carry them to the cashier. "Belle! You work here?"

Belle looked up from the register and smiled. Belle nodded. "I volunteer her once a week. I love the smell of flowers."

"Aunty Belle!" Harper exclaimed. "Hi!"

Belle smiled and laughed a little. "Hey, Harper. Whatcha got there?"

Harper held up the flowers. "They're for Mommy!"

Belle smiled. "That's sweet." Belle entered the price and Killian paid. "Tell Emma I said 'hi'."

Harper nodded. "I will." She skipped towards the door.

"See you, Belle. Thank you," Killian said, then he walked over to Harper and then they walked out together.

"Emma! We're home!" Killian called when he and Harper entered the house.

"We have a present for you, Mommy!" Harper smiled and skipped over to the couch, Killian following. "Where's Mommy?"

Killian looked at the couch. Emma wasn't there. "She's probably upstairs. I'll go grab her. You stay here, okay?"

Harper nodded and jumped onto the couch. "Don't forget to tell Mommy that Aunty Belle said 'hi'!"

Killian laughed. "Okay." He walked upstairs and into his and Emma's room. "Emma?" She wasn't in the bathroom or their room. Killian started to worry. He checked the whole house and couldn't find his wife. He called her multiple times but each time they went to voicemail.

"Daddy, where's Mommy?" Harper asked.

Killian didn't know what to say. He didn't know where she was. "She's uh… at Grandma's house," he lied.

Harper nodded, content with the answer.

Killian walked into the kitchen, somewhere where Harper couldn't hear him. He called David.

"Hello?" David asked into the phone.

Killian held back his tears. "Emma's gone. I don't know where she is."
