I'm sorry for the delay in posting this! Despite it being spring break I still had a very busy schedule and well…I spent a lot of my free time READING fanfic instead of writing it. But now I feel like I have absorbed so any good stories and have filled myself up and can now continue writing. There are so many good CS stories out there, I just can't get enough. I hope people feel the same way about my story as I do about some of the ones that I've found. Anyway, without further ado, here is the next chapter in this story. I should have watched Pirates of the Caribbean before writing this because it's been a long time since I've seen it. But I can't find my copy of it. So hopefully my memory serves me right. As always I do not own OUAT and please send me comments/reviews!
Henry and Emma got to work setting things up for the movie. They pulled out all their favorite snack foods and made some popcorn. Emma even managed to find a bottle of rum for her and Killian and handed a bottle of Coke to Henry. Henry cued up the movie to the beginning and Emma ran upstairs to change into sweat pants.
It only took Killian a few minutes to leave Granny's and the loft wasn't that far. He had a huge smile on his face ever since Henry had told him to come over for a movie night and join Emma on her special evening with her son. He could hear them giggling in the background of the phone call. He didn't care what the movie was about (though he thought he heard the lad say it was about pirates, it should be interesting at least. Or completely wrong. After all, he did see how this world portrayed him and Peter Pan. Completely wrong!)
Killian knocked on the door to the loft and Henry opened the door and welcomed Killian inside.
"Mom's upstairs changing. But we have a bunch of snacks here and some rum if you'd like some."
Killian smiled and looked at the spread of snacks laid on the counter and then Emma came down the stairs.
"I thought I heard you come in." She said as she took the last step and crossed over to Killian to give him a hug.
"Aye, how was your dinner?" He kept his arm around Emma as he looked between both her and Henry, asking them both.
"It was nice. We'll have to take you to that pizza place sometime Killian." Said Henry, grabbing a bowl and filling it with popcorn.
Killian smiled and placed a chaste kiss on Emma's forehead when Henry turned his back towards them.
"I shall look forward to it."
Emma grabbed his hand and led him around the counter, grabbing a bowl and filling it with popcorn and other snacks. She held it out to Killian and then proceeded to fill up a bowl for herself and then pouring both of them some rum.
"I didn't peg you to be a rum drinker Swan." Said Killian, amused.
"Well, I've gotten quite accustomed to the taste Captain." Emma gave Killian a wink which sent shivers up Killian's spine. He loved seeing this fun and playful side of her.
After they grabbed their drinks and snacks, Killian followed Emma to the small living area of the room and settled between her and Henry on the couch. Once they were settled in and a blanket was tucked over them Henry gave one final and excited smile to Killian pressed play, starting the movie.
Killian had seen moving pictures before; he sat back with his arm around Emma and watched with wide eyes. Every once in a while Emma and Henry would glance at him, seeing how completely engrossed he was with the film.
"How are they capturing this on film Swan? Are they on another ship?" Were some of the questions Killian asked in the beginning. He gasped as a young Will Turner was pulled up on the ship, remembering the time with Baelfire was pulled up on his. This movie was beginning to bring about more memories of both Baelfire and his time in the Navy. He tried to suppress those memories and just try to enjoy the movie.
It wasn't until he caught the first glimpse of Captain Jack Sparrow that he laughed and practically spit out the rum he was sipping on. Both Emma and Henry looked at them with amused smiles on their faces.
"I have never met another pirate with so many beads in their hair. Good grief Swan, pirates do NOT talk like that. That is the worst pirate I have ever seen in my life. Well except of course the pirate that was supposed to be portraying me."
Both Emma and Henry laughed. Killian pulled Emma closer to him and she rested her head on his shoulder and continued watching. Every once in a while he would let out a chuckle or a moan or a grunt whenever Jack Sparrow said or did something stupid.
After a while he turned to Emma and gasped "ELIZABETH SWAN! That's like you Emma! She even kind of reminds me of you! There's a swan in this pirate movie!" Emma laughed and kissed his cheek and returned her head back to his shoulder, completely content.
"Bloody hell this pirate. Stranded on an island with a beautiful woman and…" before he could finish Emma punched him in the arm and pointed at Henry.
"Rum is a very valuable thing to have on an island. She shouldn't have bloody wasted it all."
"Why is rum so valuable?" asked Henry.
"Because lad, unless you collect rainwater on the ship there isn't anything else to drink. And besides drinking it works great as an antiseptic for wounds. It has many useful purposes." Henry nodded and returned his gaze towards the movie. He started to yawn and leaned back into the couch.
By the time the movie was over, Henry had fallen asleep, head slumped up against Killian. Killian smiled down at the sleeping boy and Emma looked over at her son, sleeping next to her pirate and smiled. She slowly got up and started putting the dishes in the sink. Killian carefully got up and picked the boy up and followed Emma upstairs to his bedroom. Emma pulled back the blankets in his bead and Killian laid him down and pulled the covers up over him. He ruffled his hair softly and then went to stand in the doorway and watched as Emma leaned down kissed his head before turning out the light.
They headed back downstairs quietly and Emma wrapped her arms around Killian. "So, what did you think of the movie?"
"I thought it was quite entertaining love. I wasn't so sure I was going to like it in the beginning, but it grew on me. Even though Jack Sparrow is nowhere near what a real pirate is like, I did find him to be very amusing."
"Good. You know. There are a couple more Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Like the one we just watched, they made more."
Killian's eyes grew wide "oh really Swan?"
"Yeah and I'm sure Henry would really like to watch those ones with you too."
"Just Henry love?" He said as he walked them both back until Emma was pressed up against the counter.
"Well me too Killian." Said Emma, a slight blush creeping up on her face.
Killian ran his good hand up and tangled it in her hair and kept his hook on her waist, pinning her to the counter with his body. She stood on her toes and wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down to meet her kiss. The kiss was sweet at first, slow and tender. But it quickly grew more passionate. Emma started rolling her hips into his, gasping when she made contact with him and could feel his length against her. Killian let out a low growling noise and parted her legs with his knee and took a step closer, pressing her to him, his hook against her lower back.
Emma was the first one to break away for breath. "We can't do this here Killian. My parent's will be home soon and Henry is right upstairs." She rested her forehead against his as they got their breathing under control again.
"I know" Killian's voice was low and strained and his eyes were glazed over with lust. He softened his grip on her and stepped away, keeping his hook to her back and dropping his other hand to wrap around her waist. "I quite enjoy these movie nights Swan. I look forward to the next one."
Emma laughed and placed a kiss on his lips, bringing her hands down around his waist as well. "Perhaps we'll have to make this a regular thing. You, me and Henry. It can be our family movie night or something."
Killian blinked down at her "family movie night?"
"Yeah" Emma brought her hand up and rested it against his face; she could see the happiness and also the sadness in his eyes and knew exactly what he was thinking. For centuries this man had no family. No home. He traded the only home he ever knew for her. He helped countless times to save her and her family and her son. She knew the pain and loneliness that came from not having a family or anyone to love and love in return.
Killian read her like an open book and knew that they had reached an understanding. 'You and I, we understand each other' replayed in his head. He nodded his head and pulled her in for another kiss. "I would like that a lot Emma." He whispered in her ear.
"Me too Killian. And I know Henry will too. You have a family here Killian. We're not going anywhere. I'm not running. Not anymore. I know what it's like to not have a family and to be lonely and in pain. You don't have to be like that anymore. We're your family."
Killian's heart felt like it was going to leap out of his chest at her words. The words he was hoping she would say. It wasn't I love you, but it was close and besides, he knew that she loved him and he was going to spend every day of his life proving to her that he loved her with every fiber of his being. He kissed her again, soft and lovingly, his hand rubbing her back as he did so. His eyes burned hot with tears threatening to fall as he buried his face into her neck. Emma sighed as he nuzzled into her and they held on to each other for a few moments before they heard her parents start to come up the stairs. Killian pulled away, rubbed at his eyes and smiled at Emma as she started washing the dishes in the sink.
David was the first to enter the apartment "Hook, what are you doing here?" He said as he hung up his coat. Mary Margaret with baby Neal came in soon after and looked at the two of them and smiled before heading off to put a sleeping Neal in his crib.
"Henry and I had Killian over for a movie night. We thought we'd introduce him to the Pirates of the Caribbean movies." Emma said, smiling at Killian.
David laughed and clapped Killian on the shoulder "what did you think?"
"I thought it was good, funny even though that Jack Sparrow is no pirate, mate."
"Yeah. I wish I could have seen your face when you saw him. Well you two, we finally got Neal to sleep and I am going to take advantage of the peace and quiet for right now and head off to bed myself." He gave Emma a glance as if to let her know to send Killian home soon.
"Yeah I was just leaving mate." Killian said and walked over to grab his coat and put it on. David headed off to his room and when he was out of sight Killian pulled Emma in for one last kiss. "I'll see you tomorrow love. Goodnight."
"Goodnight Killian." Emma said, flashing him a smile.
Killian stepped out into the cold night air and began walking back to Granny's. He replayed the night over and over in his head. The way Henry accepted him into his night with his mom. The looks of love Emma gave him. Their passionate and tender kisses. When Emma told him she was done running and that he had a family. A family. It was all he ever wanted. Something he thought he'd have with Milah but never did. He smiled as he entered his room and began getting ready for bed. He thought of Emma as he began to drift asleep, certain that she would be in his dreams that night.
