Thank you all so much for continuing to read this story! I really appreciate the comments. Please continue to comment and leave me reviews! As always OUAT is NOT mine. Oh and there's just 2 more weeks left until it returns! YAY!

Emma parked her car down by the docks and smiled as she saw Killian sitting on top of a picnic table waiting for her. Her heart practically leaped out of her chest and she wanted nothing more than to run up to him and press her body against his and feel his lips covering her whole body. She shook her head and tried to erase those thoughts from her mind as she got out and headed towards Killian.

"I got your note. You really have got to be careful with Ruby. She knows what happened last night."

Killian's smile grew wider and he gave a chuckle as he pulled Emma next to him and grabbed her hand, intertwining his fingers with hers. "Is that so? Well. I'm sorry if you were embarrassed love."

"No. Well. A little. I just don't want Ruby telling everyone in town before I even get a chance to talk to Henry or my parents." Emma said as she sighed and laid her head against Killian's shoulder. "So what is this note about?" Emma pulled the crumpled piece of paper out of her pocket.

"Ah. Well, I was thinking we should have our second date. There's no monsters running around. No curses to dodge. We have this quiet moment to ourselves. I'd like to take advantage of it." He pressed a kiss on Emma's forehead when he said 'advantage.'

Emma smiled and turned around and faced him. "Killian, there's still so much work to be done. I'm still Sheriff; I still have duties I have to do every day. If you and I are to work out you have to understand that I can't spend my entire day with you, at least not until I get caught up on things. No matter how badly I want to. I can meet you for dinners and at night but by day I'm Sheriff and I've gotta work."

"I stopped listening after you said how badly you wanted to spend the entire day with me love."

Emma laughed and lightly punched his arm. "I want that second date Killian. But I have to do some things first. Can we go on it later?"

"Aye. It'll always be here." Killian said as he looked across the harbor.

"What will always be here? The date?" Emma said, looking a bit confused.

"No. My ship. In which I wanted to take you out on for our second date." Said Killian, pointing at a small boat docked at the harbor. "I bought it this morning."

"You bought a ship! Killian!" Emma threw her arms around Killian, hugging him tightly and then releasing him suddenly "wait…how did you buy that ship?"

"I assure you that I bought it and it is all very legal. I didn't steal it. I even have a piece of paper saying that she is mine."

"No no no. That's not what I meant. What I meant was how did you have the money to buy a ship? And who did you buy it from?"

"Oh. I had quite a bit doubloons left. Apparently it is still worth something in this land. And I bought it off of one of the dwarves. Apparently he has been looking to sell it for a while. Too much work for him." Killian smiled and hopped down from the picnic table, pulling Emma down with him. "Do you want to see it?"

"Yes! I'd love to see it. But I can't stay for very long Killian. David is probably expecting me at the station any minute."

The two walked down the dock to the ship. Killian boarded first and then held out his hand for Emma. He excitedly showed her all around. It was quite a bit smaller than the Jolly Roger, but it was his. Emma smiled at Killian who was so happy and so proud. His hands lovingly grazed over the woodwork and he beamed at Emma every time he looked up. She loved seeing him so happy. He was clearly in his element on that ship. He took her down below deck to the small captain's quarters.

"There isn't much here yet. There's quite a bit of work to do to get her into shape and there are some things I'm going to need to get. But she sails. And she is mine." Killian grabbed Emma by the waist and pulled her into him "and so are you" he said and kissed her lovingly on her lips.

Emma relaxed into his arms and parted her lips allowing him to deepen the kiss. Her body ached to have him again but she knew that couldn't happen, not right now or right here anyway. She sighed and pulled away, resting her forehead on his, both of them catching their breath.

"I'm so happy." Killian said. Nuzzling into Emma's neck.

Emma wrapped her arms around him again and whispered "so am I."

They let each other go and looked into each other's eyes. Both of them seeing the love and happiness overflow in each others. Killian led Emma back up on deck. Emma sighed "I love this ship Killian. I can't wait to see what you do with it. And I definitely want you to take me out on it. And Henry will be so happy, maybe you can have him help you out with it and teach him how to sail?"

"I'd be more than happy to do that love. The few times I had Henry on the Jolly he really took to it."

"Good. Anyway, I should really get going. And you have a lot of work to do." Emma said as she looked around. She closed the gap between them and rose up on the tips of her toes and planted a soft kiss on Killian's lips.

Killian smiled and ran his hand in her hair. "Will you join me for dinner tonight?"

"Is this our second date?" Emma smiled.

"Yes. Meet me here tonight, love. I'll have everything that we need ready." Killian gave her one last kiss before letting her go.

"Alright. I'll see you later Killian." Emma gave his hand a tight squeeze as he helped her off the ship and she made her way back to her car. Her heart felt like it was going to burst with emotion. She couldn't remember the last time she was so happy. She glanced back at Killian, already beginning his work on the ship. She shook her head and laughed and drove off to the station, thinking and day dreaming about their second date tonight.
