Ch50 - The Engagement Pt3

I lay against the headboard, while staring at the ring; that was now situated on my finger, I'm engaged...to Captain Hook, definitely didn't see that coming.

I peered down, at Killian; who was still sleeping, I grinned softly, as he muttered something. I wonder what he's dreaming about?

Something to do with swashbuckling no doubt, he moved, onto his back; as he continued muttering. I giggled softly, as not to disturb him.

I watched, as he began to wake up; his eyes opening slightly, as he looked up at me.

He spoke, softly.

"Good morning, my love"

I smiled, as I spoke.

"Morning, handsome"

He sat up, before shifting; as he leaned against the headboard, before taking my hand in his. His gaze drifted to the ring, as he spoke again.

"So...any regrets my love?"

I giggled, while shaking my head; I spoke.

"No, everything was perfect; the ring is beautiful, and if I'm being honest, I still can't believe I'm engaged to Captain Hook"

Killian, laughed softly; before spoke again.

"Well you better start believing it darling, because you are; and you have no idea, what it means to me that you said yes to this old pirate"

I smiled at him, before leaning in to place my lips on his; I smiled internally, when I felt Killian pull me even closer. I placed my hand, in his hair; we stayed like that, for a few minutes; before, I pulled back.

I moved to stand up, only to be pulled back down onto the bed; I giggled, before speaking. "Killian..." He grinned at me, before pulling me back into another kiss.

I placed my lips on his again briefly, before pushing him back; before getting up, I spoke.

"Come on, we need to get dressed"

He groaned, before moving to stand beside me; he kissed me again, before turning to gather his clothes. I got dressed quickly, before lifting my phone; off the bedside table, before heading downstairs.

I made my way into the kitchen, before making a start on the coffee; I placed the cups on the counter, before moving towards the cabinets. I couldn't decide between poptarts and cereal.

I placed a box of poptarts on the counter, before placing a box of cereal beside it; I stood there, staring at the two boxes, tilting my head side to side.

I heard Killian laugh softly, as he spoke.

"What are you doing, love?"

I looked up at him, as I spoke.

"I'm trying to decide if I want poptarts, or cereal"

He chuckled, before making his way towards me; he wrapped his arms around my waist, before speaking again.

"Well love, you know how I feel about those poptarts; that both, you and your boy seem to prefer over a proper breakfast. So, I think you should have cereal; it's much better"

I sighed, before speaking.

"Well Henry and I; happen to think, they're delicious and one of these days I'm going to make you try them"

He laughed again, while speaking.

"No chance Swan, I think I'll stick to my pirate's breakfast; if it's all the same to you, my love"

I giggled, before lifting the box of cereal; I turned to face him, before I spoke.

"And I'm going to stick to my poptarts"

I moved, out of his embrace; before placing the cereal, back into the cabinet above the microwave. I turned back, to face Killian again; he smiled at me, before speaking.

"You're lucky, you're cute Swan"

I grinned, before speaking.

"I know"

He moved forward slightly, before pulling me into his arms again; I giggled, as he buried his head into my neck. His scruff, tickling my skin; I tried to pry his head away, only to shriek as he resisted.

He burrowed further into my neck, and I tilted my head; allowing him access, before speaking.

"I'm hungry"

I could feel Killian laugh, before he pulled back; allowing me to move towards the counter. I grabbed the box of poptarts, before placing two into the toaster.

I spoke again, while smiling.

"Are you sure, you don't want to try them?"

Killian shook his head, he chuckled as he spoke.

"I'm absolutely sure"

I smiled, before leaning up to kiss him again; only pulling away, when my breakfast was ready. I placed the poptarts onto a small plate, as I finished making the coffee; I handed Killian a cup, before lifting my own.

We sat down at the table, I took a sip of coffee; before taking a small bite, before closing my eyes, a small sigh escaped my lips as I chewed. There was nothing better, than poptarts for breakfast; I took another bite, another sigh left my mouth.

I heard Killian speak.

"Swan, unless you want me to kiss you; you best stop making those noises"

I grinned, before repeating the action; closing my eyes, before sighing slightly louder. I heard Killian growl softly, before he spoke.

"Don't say I didn't warn you"

I opened my eyes, before shrieking; as Killian lifted me, he carried me into the living room. He dropped me onto the couch, before covering my body with his; his mouth attacked my neck, and I squealed.

I placed my hand on the back of his head, before trying to pry him away from my neck; I felt him laugh as he spoke, his words muffled against my skin.

I shrieked again, when his teeth grazed the skin between my neck and shoulder; before he moved back, his gaze locked with mine.

He leaned down, before kissing me; he nipped my bottom lip, before swiping his tongue across it. I granted him access, we stayed like that until my stomach growled.

I pulled back slightly, before speaking.

"We can continue this later"

Killian nodded, before moving; he offered me his hand, I accepted it. He pulled me off the couch, before we headed back into the kitchen; to finish our breakfast.

We made light conversation, as we tidied up; I placed the dishes into the sink, Killian spoke.

"I'll be right back love"

I nodded, before making a start on the dishes; I washed them, before drying them. I placed everything back into the cabinet; before heading into the living room.

I spotted Killian, he was crouched near the fireplace; he had a dream catcher in his hand, I peered over his shoulder. Was he about to destroy his memories? I looked at the image, was that David's father?

Why is he destroying that memory? Did he have something to do with his death?

I spoke.

"That's David's father?" Killian looked at me, as he stood up; the shame evident on his face, he killed him. I spoke again. "It was you"

He started walking towards me, speaking as he did.

"Emma, let me explain"

I held my hand up, as I spoke.

"No, it seems very clear to me"

He looked at me, as he spoke.

"I swear to you, I wanted to tell you; I tried, but then you found that ring, and I just couldn't bear to ruin that happiness"

Thats the reason, he came home drunk last night? He was nervous about telling me, that he killed David's father; he wasn't going to propose, but like he said, I found the ring.

I spoke.

"How could you do this?"

I looked at him, trying my best to stay calm; as he spoke again.

"I've been asking myself the same question, all I can say; is that I was a broken man, for a very long time and I did horrendous things"

I spoke, my anger bubbling to the surface; as I did.

"I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about this" I grabbed the dream catcher, before lifting it. I continued. "You were about to burn your own memories, why would you do that?"

He answered

"Because I was ashamed, Emma; I'm scared of losing you, and everything that matters to me"

Was he being serious right now? I spoke.

"You really think, that would happen; after everything we've been through?"

He spoke.

"You tell me, how am I supposed to sit across; from your mother and father at the table...and look them in the eye, after what I've done?"

I answered.

"I'm not saying it would be easy, you know them; you know, they would forgive you. That's who they are..."

Killian interrupted me, as he spoke again; his frustration clear, as he did.

"This isn't about them, this is about me; I already destroyed my own family once, and that was hard enough, but knowing that I destroyed yours too. I just...I didn't know, how I could live with that"

I felt my anger bubble up to the surface again, as I lashed out; I raised my voice, as I spoke.

"You come to me, Hook; and you lean on me, and you trust me! We have to stop hiding things from each other, the man I fell in love with; would know that. You would know that, we would do things together"

He looked at me, as he uttered my name. "Emma..." I interrupted him, he moved closer; I took a step back, before continuing. "That is what I agreed to marry, that is what I thought we were together. Until you're ready to do that..." I twisted the ring, off my finger; handing to him, before speaking again. "Then we can talk"

He looked devastated, as he took the ring from me; our gazes met briefly, before I turned away. I made my way upstairs, I could feel him watching me; and when I was gone from view, I glanced down at my hand, tears escaping my eyes as I did...
