Chapter 15: Revival

David and Killian sat quietly watching Emma sleep. Her wounds, the blood, it all was like a horrifying nightmare that they wanted to wake up from. David stood and nodded toward Killian to follow him into the hall.

"Killian, I am going to go and try and nap. You call me as soon as there is a change."

"Aye sir," Killian thought of the question that he needed to ask the sheriff, now seemed as good a time as any. "Before you go Dave, there is something I would like to ask you."

David nodded at Killian, giving him permission to continue. Now or never Killian thought.

"Sir, I know this is not the best time, but I was wondering if you would allow me the honor of asking for Emma's hand in marriage? After everything the past few days I do not want to wait any longer."

David smiled and clapped Killian on the back, "After everything you have done for my daughter lately, especially this past week it would be an absolute honor to call you my son."

Killian smiled but raised a brow at him.

"..In law." David winked and walked away. "Call me when there are changes."

Killian nodded and smiled to himself, he went back into the hospital room and waited for his savior to wake up.

A bright light shone in Emma's eyes as she started to come to. She could hear the beeping of her pulse and felt her arm attached to something. Emma concluded that she was in the hospital and started to scan the room. In the corner recliner, was Killian asleep. She looked at the dark circles under his eyes and her heart hurt for him. The hell, the nightmare he had to deal with when she was missing, Emma could tell it had taken a toll on him. But now, it was all behind them.

"Hey Pirate," Emma said quietly.

Killian's eyes snapped open and he looked toward the bed, Emma's soft smile and bright eyes met his. He could feel every last bit of tension leave his body. She was pretty bruised and banged up, but Killian could not remember the last time he saw something so beautiful.

"Emma!" Killian exclaimed and bounded from his seat to her side.

"Easy tiger," Emma giggled. "What happened?"

"When we got you free in the cave you shrieked in pain and then collapsed," Killian explained "You were rushed to the hospital and Dr Whale attended to you immediately. You had some pretty severe internal bleeding but they were able to get in under control."

"Not surprising, I was kicked in the stomach enough." Emma mumbled.

Killian softly pushed her hair out of her face and looked at her "I'm so glad you're ok love. Gave me a bit of a fright there."

"I"m ok," She softly kissed the palm of his hand. "You know I'm a fighter."

"Aye love, that you are"

"Where's Walsh?" Emma asked. "And Zelena? And her Henchmen? And…."

"Love, relax." Killian stated gently but sternly. "Give me a moment, I will call your father and let him know you're awake."

"Ok," Emma huffed, "Hurry back."

"Aye Swan, always." Killian stood and went toward the door.

"Pirate?"

"Aye?"

"I love you."

Killian turned back to look at Emma, all propped up on pillows staring at him like he was the best thing on earth. "I love you Swan." He gave her a small bow and stepped into the hall.

Emma reached for the remote and switched on the tv, awaiting her heroes return,

Killian reached into his pocket and Dialed David, the phone was answered by the second ring.

"Sheriff Nolan," The groggy voice stated.

"Good day Sheriff," Killian stated loudly "Having a nice nap?"

"Very funny pirate," David chuckled, "What's up?"

"Well I am doing my duty as you requested."

"What do you mean Killian?"

"She's awake."

"What?!" David exclaimed, "When? Why didn't you call me? Why…"

Now I know where Emma gets it, Killian thought. "David! Slow down. She woke up about 30 minutes ago, we spoke for a few moments and then I stepped out to call you."

"I will be there in 20 minutes,"

"I figured you would be, mate. We shall see you soon."

Killian re-entered the room to Emma watching tv and munching on jello, the nurse must have stopped in while he was out making his phone call. She smiled up at him and offered him some of the jiggly abomination.

"Swan.." Killian groaned, "You know I despise this stuff."

"Suit yourself." Emma torted with a wink and went back to enjoying her treat.

Killian sat in the chair closest to her in silence, watching his love enjoy her treat like nothing in the world has happened. After all the events this week, he knows now just how much she means to him, and how much it would kill him if he ever lost her again. Killian looked down, ringing his hands. Emma looked over and quickly grabbed his hand and Killian met her gaze.

"Hey." She said with a small smile, "I'm ok."

Killian squeezed her hand and returned her small smile. "Which I am so bloody grateful for my love…" He took a deep breath, "I just… I was so scared that I was going to lose you, that you were going to…" Killian swallowed back his emotions, unable to formulate what he was trying to say.

Emma grabbed him and pulled him in for a kiss pouring every ounce of emotion. The fear, the pain, the love, all of the things felt in the past three days. She needed him to feel that she was still here and felt everything in the world for him.

"Killian," she stammered as they broke apart gasping for air, "I am here. I am still alive and that bastard is behind bars. They can't hurt us anymore."

"She's right." David's voice sounded from the doorway. "Court is tomorrow and the next step will be prison."

Emma turned and looked up and her matching blue eyes and smiled. "Hi Daddy."

David came in the room and kissed Emma on top of her head and sat on the other side across from Killian. "Hey pumpkin, how are you feeling?"

"I'm ok," She said smiling, "Better, a little bit sore still."

"Im glad." Davids lips were pressed in a hard line. "About the court date tomorrow.."

Emma looked at her father, confused and nodded for him to continue, " I know we just went through all of this, but because you were the main victim they may need you to testify. We've gathered as much evidence as we can, but your testimony will put the last nail in the coffin."

Emma looked over at Killian and he squeezed her hand, letting her know that no matter what he would be on her side, by her side, and supporting her in anyway he could.

Emma nodded and looked at her father. "I'll do it."

Emma was released in the afternoon, getting the ok from Dr Whale to go home. Killian drove her and helped her into their house, only letting go of her hand long enough to get the door open. He brought her bags inside, quickly getting her settled on the couch.

"I already ordered pizza for dinner love. I figured you weren't in the mood to cook." Killian sat next to her, gently brushing her hair out of her face.

Emma looked up at him and smiled, "Not really. I appreciate you thinking of me."

He smiled down at her. "My love, I always make sure you are taken care of." Kissing her forehead softly, he got up and answered the doorbell, collecting their dinner from the delivery man. They ate their pizza in comfortable silence, surfing netflix and enjoying each other's company. They cleaned up dinner and headed upstairs. Without saying anything, Killian approached the bathroom, starting the shower for Emma. He always knew exactly what she needed.

"I figured you wanted a shower, Swan." He said smiling. " I'll be downstairs if you need me." He kissed her on her forehead and turned to leave. Emma grabbed his hand making him stop and turn toward her. In her eyes, he could see feelings of love, need, want, and a swirling dark desire.

"Shower with me?" She asked quietly.

Killian smiled and nodded, following her into the bathroom. He could never deny her, especially after everything they had been through this week. He needed to feel her, as close as humanly possible, no barriers, no interruptions. Emma slipped her hands up Killians chest, unbuttoning each button down to his waist, removing his shirt and dropping it to the floor. She slipped her hands under his white undershirt, slipping it over his head and disposing of it, his chiseled body exposed to her. She ran her nails down his chest and placed a kiss over his heart. Killian lifted Emma's sweater over her head exposing her bra and bare torso. Her injuries stood out against her alabaster skin, and he swallowed hard. Emma stood with her forehead against his chest as he slowly worked her bra off, followed by her leggings and underwear as she worked off his jeans. They climbed into the hot water together, relishing in the feel of how relaxing the water felt. Emma was standing under the shower head while Killian stood outside of it, his eyes absorbing her body at its current state. Bruises on her arms and ribs, her legs with stitched up gashes that would leave scars, and bruises on her face. Even though her body resembled that of a warrior, she was still the most beautiful thing he has ever seen.

Killian took her shampoo and squirted some in his hands, "Turn around love."

Emma opened her eyes and smiled at him as she turned around giving him better access to her long locks. Killian worked the shampoo through her scalp, down to the ends of her hair massaging her scalp with his expert hands. He rinsed her hair out thoroughly and continued with the conditioner, and washed her body. Killian's hand and the loofah made a contrasting feel and he rubbed down her breasts, focusing a little more on the nipples, down to her stomach and thoroughly over her legs. He was so gentle and so mindful she had almost forgotten about her injuries. The feeling of his hands made her body tingle and a warm feeling started to pool between her legs. Emma turned Killian into the hot water and pushed him up against the wall. Feeling the water raining down her back, she lowered to her knees.

"Emma what are you..?"

"Shhh."

Emma took Killian's manhood in her hand and started stroking him with both hands, slowly taking him into her mouth. She started slowly, taking him deep.

"Oh, fuck." Killian moaned out, his head leaning back against the wall.

Emma grabbed Killian by his hips and started moving her mouth faster, swallowing him further. She could feel his hand find her haid and he held her head in place, him deep in her throat, as she swallowed him.

" Oh fuck, Swan, I'm going to…"

Emma grabbed him and held him deep and his legs started to shake and he released into her mouth as she swallowed every drop of him. Killian gently picked her up in his arms and pinned her against the wall. He started kissing Emma wantonly. Like he was starving and couldn't get enough. Keeping her pinned against the wall Killian kneeled down and place his mouth on her bundle of nerves, lapping and licking at her folds. Emma wrapped her hands in his hair, feeling every nerve in her body catch on fire.

"Oh fuck baby!" Emma gasped out.

Killian licked and sucked as he felt her legs start shaking, her release near. Emma cried out as stars exploded behind her eyes and she grabbed his head and bucked up into his mouth. He lowered Emma down and kissed her passionately, her tongue winding with his. He gently bent Emma over as she gripped the sides of the tub, he took his manhood in his hand and rubbed where she needed him the most. Killian entered her slowly, filling her up as they both gasped. He started slowly thrusting in and out, each time eliciting a moan from Emma, growing louder and louder. Killian growled, claiming her as the water splashed over them.

"Who do you belong to?" He growled

"You," Emma whispered.

"Louder!'

"You my love!"

Killian slammed into her harder and faster, the mixed moans from them filling the bathroom, the fear and anxiety of this past week disappearing. He slammed into her one final time, both of them hitting their climax simultaneously. Emma stood carefully and wrapped herself in protective, boyfriend's arms. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed his chin.

"I love you." she hummed.

"I love you more."

They finished their shower, dried off and Killian carried her to bed. After shutting the lights off, he crawled into bed next to her, as she snuggled into his side. Killian had his swan back in his arms where she belonged, and no matter what they faced tomorrow, they had true love on their side.
