One month later

The next day I was woken by Killian slowly getting out of our bed.

"What are you doing?" I asked groggily.

"Im off to run a few errands love. I'll be back in an hour or so."

I nodded. "Ok. Hurry back though."

"I will."

Before he left he bent down and placed a kiss on my forehead.

"Love you." I mumbled.

"Love you too Swan."

Killian walked out and I rolled out of bed to get some coffee.

Once I was down stairs I pulled out my phone and checked the time. Ten thirty. Wow I slept in.

Not wanting to spend this morning sitting on the couch I pulled out my phone and found Mary Margaret's contact and texted her.

Me: Hey Mary Margret. Killians out running errands this morning and Im gonna go grab some coffee if you want to join me.

No less then ten seconds later my phone went off.

Mary Margret: I would love to! What time were you thinking?

Me: 11?

Mary Margret: Perfect! Just knock when your ready to go.

Me: Ok sounds good.

I put my phone down and went up stairs to get ready.

By the time I was ready it was 10:58.

I left the apartment and knocked on her door.

Of course in less then five seconds Mary Margret had opened the door and was talking the speed of light.

Something about David leaving her alone one night and how she found some show on Netflix that I 'Absolutely must watch ASAP'.

"Oh and Emma, David wanted me to invite you and Killian to come with us to a movie tomorrow night."

"Oh, uh sure. I don't think we have plans."

"Yay! Its been too long since we got together as a double date."

"Yeah it has been a while."

"So how are you and Killian doing?"

"Oh us? We're great... I really love him and he might be the one for me. We're taking things pretty slow though."

"Oh that's wonderful! You know I have a knack for spotting true love, and you two have it. The way you look at each other with such yearning and love is precious."

I raised my eyebrows.

"I don't yearn."

"Maybe not, but he does."

I rolled my eyes and we continued walking until we made it to the coffee shop.

Surprisingly the conversation was extremely entertaining. Mary Margret had alot to say. However she was acting strange.

She kept asking me all these questions about Killian and I and then changing the topic at any thing to personal.

"Ok Mary Margret, your hiding something. What is it?"

She went red.

"Hiding something!? Me!? Never. I have no clue what your talking about."

I raised my eyebrows.

"Bull Crap. What are you hiding. Mary you and I both know you can't keep a secret so spill."

"Oh look at the time I've got to go! I think we will have to take a rain check on tonight! Great to see you Emma! Bye!"

With that she ran out of the diner leaving a twenty on the table.

"Whatever. I'll find out soon enough." I whispered to myself before heading home.

I hope Killian is back I could really use something to distract me from whatever Mary is hiding. Otherwise I may storm into her apartment and interrogate her until she cracks.

I finally got to my apartment after walking three miles and opened the door.

"Killian? Are you back yet?"

Before I could pull out my phone to call him I noticed a single rose petal on the ground. Behind it were several other leading up the steps.

I smiled to myself and followed the trail.

It lead up to our room where a note was written next to a picture of us meeting that Killian had apparently drawn.

I picked up the note first.

Emma,

Sorry I'm not here to deliver this note to you personally but I'll see you soon if you follow the hints in this note. My only instructions are for you to make sure to wherever we are in each picture. I hope to see you soon.

I love you,

Killian❤

I smiled to myself at Killians cliche ways. Though I had to admit I loved the cheesy dates like this.

I hope I didn't forget something. One year anniversary? Birthday? Valentines Day? I sure hope not but it's not unlike Killian to just go full out on a typical date for no reason.

I moved my attention to the painting.

It was truly amazing.

Killian and I were just locking eyes and shaking hands for the first time but the colors of the picture truly captured the moment. Though the majority of it was black and white. Splashes of color filled the room. Everything was perfect. Even Neals snug smile was captured perfectly.

I folded the picture up and went to go to the ballroom we met in.

When I walked outside there was a horse drawn carriage was waiting with my name printed on the drivers sign.

"Um Im Emma Swan."

The driver smiled.

"Perfect. Killian has told me exactly where to bring you first."

I smiled and sat back enjoying the ride.

When we arrived I eagerly went inside.

The ballroom was empty with only soft music playing in the background and two tables with a single chair at each of them. It took me a minute to realize these were the chairs both of us were sitting in that night.

I smiled remembering the text we sent back and forth to each other that night.

On the chair I had been in there was another painting. This one from the morning we went out to coffee for the first time at The Ugly Duckling. The painting showed me grabbing Killians hand and kissing him on the cheek while both of our cheeks went red.

I grabbed this painting as well and went outside to go to the café.

Once I got there I found a waitress holding a painting waiting outside.

I ran to her and got the painting from her to look at it.

It was Killian and I at the Green Tavern where we had our first sorta date. In the painting I was looking down at my food while Killian stared at me with worried eyes. It was right after he had told me I was the most amazing women he had ever met. Right before I ran off again.

I thanked the women for the painting and got back in the carriage.

Once we got to the restaurant I found Mary and David waiting inside holding a painting.

"Hey! What is all of this?! Where's Killian?"

David held out a note and I took it from him and read it.

Swan,

David and Mary Margret have been sworn to secrecy so they won't say a word. Your almost done though. I'll see you soon.

Killian❤

I smiled and took the painting.

It was the moment Killian and I first kissed. Right after I had ran off to the bench in that empty garden and he had followed me and we confessed both of our lives had become colorful when we met.

I didn't need anymore time to know where to go so I took off running to where the bench was.

I got there and saw it surrounded with roses and petals. On the bench there was a picture propped up.

This one wasn't of our past. Killian and I were standing in front of this bench only Killian was down on one knee holding a ring.

Before I could process anything I felt a tap on my shoulder.

"Allow me to explain this one love."

I whirled around to find Killian holding a rose.

Before I could say anything he got down on one knee and pulled out a ring.

"Emma, from the moment I saw you my life was complete. You brought the color into my life and showed me what it felt like to be truly happy. We've gone through so much together and I know that I will never truly be happy without you in my life. So Emma Swan, will you marry me?"

I nodded vigorously.

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes!! Of course! I love you so much."

I pulled him up and pulled his lips to mine. When we pulled apart Killian chuckled.

"I love you too Swan." He gently placed the ring on my finger.

It was beautiful. It was a simple silver band with a diamond on the top that was just the right size.

I laughed again as happy tears continued to stream down my face.

Killian kissed me again before we began walking towards the Green Tavern.

When we got in a waiter was waiting for us.

"Follow me Mr. Jones." He led us back towards a small room with a window overlooking central park.

"My name is Josh and I'll be taking care of you tonight. Can I start you off with a drink?"

"I'll have a water please." I replied.

"Can we get a bottle of your finest champaign?" Killian asked.

"Of course sir."

The waiter left and then came back with my water and the bottle of champaign with two glasses.

When he left again after taking our orders Killian grabbed my hand.

"Do you remember what I said to you the first time we came here?"

I nodded.

"You said that I was the most amazing women you had ever met. And then I ran out of the date."

We both laughed.

"Yeah that was kind of a bummer.....But I meant what I said. No women can even compare to you in my eyes. You and absolutely amazing in every way."

I blushed.

"Thank you, your the best fiancé I could ever ask for."

Killian laughed.

"I could get used to the sound of that. Fiancé."

"Good."

As the night went by we talked about the wedding, how he was able to get Mary Margret to keep a secret and how he could draw. Overall it was a perfect day.

I was finally getting married to the love of my life.
