Ch5 - The Day After

I sat up, moving slightly to lift my phone off my bedside table; I opened my messages, and noticed that Henry had text me to say that he was going to stay at Regina's. I smiled softly, as I fired a quick text back; telling him to have a good time, and that I'd see him in a couple of days.

My phone buzzed again, as Henry replied; I smiled internally, before getting up and moving off the bed and going over to my closet. I lifted my jeans, t-shirt, and boots. I gave myself the once over in the mirror, before heading downstairs.

My mom was in the kitchen with Neal, she smiled at me; before speaking.

"Good morning, Emma"

I smiled.

"Morning mom"

She smiled, before speaking again.

"Your father told me to tell you, that he's taking care of things down at the station; so why don't you sit down, and I'll make you some breakfast?"

I smiled, before I spoke.

"That sounds great, thanks"

She got to work on our breakfast, while I sat with Neal. My mind drifted, to our conversation from last night; deep down I know my moms right, and I should talk to Killian, but I'm still kind of angry with him.

I know he couldn't tell me that he was being controlled, but he could have told me about the fake dagger; then maybe he wouldn't have had his heart ripped out in the first place. I shuddered slightly, before shaking my head; to clear it, that's when I noticed my mom was standing in front of me.

She smiled, before placing my plate on the table; before speaking.

"Are you ok?"

I smiled softly, before nodding; my mom smiled, before tilting her head. She spoke.

"Is this about Hook?"

I nodded slightly, before speaking.

"Yeah, I'm just conflicted; I mean he was probably trying to protect me...us, the town...but, he still should have told me; that Gold had a fake dagger, and about everything else that happened. I was scared mom, the thought of losing him; scared me, and because of that I told him I didn't think he trusted me.

She smiled softly, before placing her hand over mine; she spoke.

"What are you going to do?"

I shrugged, before answering her.

"I'm going to talk to him, and hopefully everything will work itself out"

She smiled, before nodding; we finished eating, I then headed upstairs to grab my jacket and phone. I then hugged her, before heading to Granny's.

When I got there, Granny was behind the counter; I spoke.

"Morning Granny"

She smiled, before speaking.

"Morning Emma"

I smiled, before heading upstairs; I tried to keep my breathing steady, as I approached Killian's room. I took a breath, before lifting my hand to knock; I took a step back, waiting for the door to open. The second it opened, the breath I was holding escaped.

I lifted my head slightly, to look at him; and I noticed he looked slightly stunned, to find me standing there. He spoke, barely above a whisper.

"Swan..."

I smiled, before answering.

"Hi, can I...uh, can I come in?"

He moved aside, and I walked past him into his room; I sat down on the bed, before gesturing for him to join me. When he did, I moved slightly to look at him.

I opened my mouth to speak, I just about managed to utter his name; before he interrupted me.

"Emma, I...I'm sorry love; I know now, that I should have told you from the beginning that the dagger was a fake. But I just had to be sure, I didn't want to alarm you; but now I see that I should have told you, the instant I found out"

I shook my head, before speaking.

"Killian, I know you're sorry; but it doesn't change the fact that you didn't tell me. Because if you had have told me, I would have believed you"

He nodded, but didn't say anything; so I spoke.

"Killian, you once said that I should try something new; something called trust, and I did. I did trust you, ok it took a while for me to do so; but when I did begin to trust you, I didn't think that you would keep something from me...something so crucial, like a fake dagger; or thinking it was smart to blackmail your sworn enemy, because you wanted your hand back..."

That's when he moved off the bed, and began pacing the floor; he then spoke.

"Emma, you know why I wanted my hand back; I wanted to be able to hold you with both hands"

I stuttered slightly, before speaking.

"Killian, I'm sorry; but I don't care about that, I know you do...but I don't, because I'm a fan of every part of you..."

He looked at me, before smiling; he spoke.

"Emma love..."

I shook my head, before standing up; I took a breath, before moving towards him. I placed my hands on his shoulders, before moving them down; his gaze following their path, his breath hitched.

I looked at him, smiling softly; before trailing my hands further down, to take his hand and his hook. I then placed my arms around his neck, while encouraging him to place his arms around my waist; he nodded, before doing so.

I smiled again, as I felt his hook arm tighten around my waist; only to be followed, by his hand finding it's way into my hair. He then leaned down, so his lips were inches from mine; he glanced at me and I nodded softly, before he placed his lips on mine...
