Emma wakes up the next morning, yawning and stretching to be able to wake up fully. She rubs her eyes and looks down, smiling at Killian's sleeping figure. She gets up quietly, careful not to wake him as she sneaks to the kitchen to make some bacon and eggs.
Killian lays on the couch sleeping peacefully, soft snores escaping his barely parted lips.
Hope wakes up at the smell of bacon, going downstairs to see which of her parents is up. Hope glances at Killian on the couch, smiling softly and carefully walking to the kitchen. She greets her mom quietly, not wanting to wake up her dad, he just looks so at ease.
Killian rolls over and groans a bit, then continuing to snore as he remains in his sleeping haze. His chest rises and falls steadily, his heart good and strong.
Emma smiles at Hope, gently kissing her head. "Hey kiddo, how did you sleep last night?" She whispers.
Hope smiles back at her mom "Pretty good actually." Hope replies, then helping set the table. Emma smiles and finishes making breakfast just as Hope finishes setting the table.
She carefully walks over to Killian and peppers his face in kisses "Wake up my love..." She says gently, trying to wake him up.
Killian's eyes flutter open and he looks up at Emma smiling. "Good morning love." He says in that husky and sweet morning voice of his.
She smiles sweetly, gently caressing his hair. "Good morning sleepy head, you ready for some breakfast?"
He blinks the sleep away, sitting up as the blanket slides down a bit. He cups her cheek and kisses her tenderly, smiling when she laughs.
"Looks like you are ready!" Emma replies, kissing him back just as tenderly, if not more so.
Killian laughs a bit and stands up. "Morning starfish!"
Hope smiles, walking over to her dad and hugging him tightly. "Good morning!" She cheers with a bright smile. "How'd you sleep?"
He hugs her back, smiling as he feels her hold on. "Great! I haven't slept that well in a while." Hope smiles at his reply. "That's great to hear!" Hope says, then joining him and Emma at the table and sitting down.
Killian eats his breakfast and smiles, humming in delight. "This is delicious love! Tomorrow I'll have to cook to try and top it." He winks at Emma, not missing the blush on her cheeks.
Emma smirks at him, practically challenging him with her words."I would like to see you try to top this off!" She replies with a laugh as she finishes up her breakfast.
Killian huffs playfully, pretending to be hurt by her words. "Hey! I'm very good at cooking Swan!" He laughs and nudges her with his elbow. Emma giggles more and shrugs. "I guess we will have to see tomorrow!" She says with a wink grabbing the dirty dishes.
Hope gets up to help her mom after she laughs at her parents' debacle, smiling when she receives a text from Snow. "Oh hey! Grandma was wondering if we can meet up?" Hope says looking down at her phone.
Emma put the dishes in the sink "Sounds good to me!" She replies, wiping her hands on the towel and turning to face her.
Killian smiles a bit, getting up and yawning softly. "I think I'll stay behind. If that's alright love?"
Emma looks at him, a bigger smile playing on her lips. "Of course it is!" She answers, softly kissing his cheek "We won't be long!" She says, grabbing her coat and pulling it on, her blonde locks draping off of the collar.
"See you later Dad!" Hope says with a bright smile it growing when she feels her arms wrap around her.
Killian smiles down at her and kisses her head, then planting a kiss on Emma's lips. "Tell them I say hi!" "Will do!" Emma says, taking Hope's hand and kissing him back.
Killian waves as they leave, him all alone in the now quiet house.
"Well hello there Dearie!" An eerily familiar voice says from behind Killian.
The former pirate nearly jumps out of his skin, startled by the unwanted presence. He spins on his heel, his eyes meeting the dark ones of his former enemy. "Crocodile."
