Chapter 19 - Definitely Walking

: Writer's POV :

"It's not your fault. I love you."

Killian's heart skipped at the sudden sound of Emma's sweet voice. He had expected her to be unconscious for much longer and the guilt of that had grown inside of him. But no, she was awake. And she had heard him.

Emma's eyes are bloodshot from tiredness and are gazes into Killian's sea of blue.

"Emma... I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have been driv-" Killian begins.

"Oh shut up and kiss me." Emma says.

Their lips crash together, longing in the atmosphere. The two of them allowing eachothers tongues to explore one another's mouths. Electricity sparking between them. Killian pulls away, breathless, their foreheads touching. He asks what has been wracking his brain since he entered the room.

"Um, is the-the baby....OK?" He stutters.

"She's fine, Killian. Stop worrying so much. We'll be fine." Emma answers confidently.

"She? How do you know it's a girl?"

"Oh! The nurse told me when she was telling me about my leg. It's a girl." Emma smiles sweetly.

Joy bursts onto Killian's face at this news.

"That's wonderful, Swan!"

Then the happiness fades when Killian remembers Emma's leg. She would not be able to walk properly for ages, all because of him. What ever she told him, he still knew it was his fault.

"Your leg though... How long till its healed?" Killian questions.

"About 3 months," He winces at her answer. "What about your arm and hand? You'll have to use your hook for ages..."

"Same as you, 3 months." The nurse had told him this after he had awoke.

"Well, we'll be fine." Emma squeezes Killian's hand in reassurance. "We can get through this, together. There's no current villain trying to mess up our lives so we can rest and heal in peace." Emma's hope speech lifted the spirits of her partner slightly, but not completely. He nods in agreement.

"Aye. As always, your right, Swan. Shouldn't we call your parents and Henry? You know, to let them know you are ok?" Suggests Killian.

"That's a good idea, we are just slightly late to dinner..." Emma says, reaching for her phone on the desk.

28 missed calls from her Dad.

"Uh oh... 28 missed calls..." She informs Killian.

"Eh, Dave'll be OK. I'll text him for you." He says, taking the phone from Emma.

"How do you know what texting is? Henry?"

"Aye! I feel so techy!" Killian laughs as he taps in a message with his hook.

Dave, chill. I'm taking good care of your daughter. Just got in a car crash, that's all. Killian xxx

Ps: She's fine and so am I.

****

Emma fell tired after their conversation and shortly fell asleep. Killian took this chance to go ask the nurse the desk about when they could leave.

"Well, your perfectly fine to go but your wife will need to rest at home and use her cruches at all times." The lady tells Killian, he smirks when she calls Emma his wife. He does not bother to correct her, however. The thought was just too wonderful.

Killian heads back to their hospital room and collects all their stuff so when Emma awakes they can leave. Emma still sleeps silently as he paces round the room, collecting their small amount of possessions.

20 minutes later, Emma comes back from her slumber and they get ready to leave. The two of them don't look great, Emma on cruches and Killian with a sling and cast all up his right arm.

When they exit the building, Emma stops in her tracks. Her yellow coloured bug is parked outside the hospital. It's dented in any place possible. The paint is scratched off in areas and a window is cracked.

"Swan, I'm so sorry. I know It was your car for so long and you shared it with... Neal." Killian hesitates before mentioning his name. "Ill get a job by the dock or at granny's to help pay for it to get fixed." He finally finishes.

"No. You don't have to do that." Emma clears her throat.

"But I want to! It was your car and thanks to me it's ruined! I'll find the money to fix it." Killian stares deeply into her eyes, they're still standing outside the doors of the hospital.

"No. I realise now that that car was my way of keeping the past inside of me. It was the way Neal kept coming back into my life, stopping our future. With our baby on the way, that can't happen. I'll get a new car Killian, mum and dad have been saving for a Christmas present of sorts anyway." They both look intently at each other, Killian knowing not to comment on Emma's announcement.

"Now, I think we should walk. Dont you think?" She giggles.

"Aye, definitely walk."

And they begin their treck back to the loft.

A present from Killian to Emma, awaiting on the table.
