Emma's POV
~ February 4th ~

It's been a long two weeks, devastating long two weeks. I wasn't allowed to go see Killian at all. Because every time he saw me,he freaked out. The tests results came back and showed he had some missing activity on one eighth of his brain and it must have made him forget almost everything.

Telling Liam and Henry was the hardest part of all this. They were so close to Killian and now he will probably never want to see them.

I got a phone call from the doctors yesterday that Killian was getting discharged today. He had apparently told them he was going back home, and by back home he probably meant his old house that he left most of his furniture in and it never sold. It's going to be hard, but I'm going to have to try and talk to him. He can't just push me aside and forget about us all for good.

I decided to bring Sophie to the park to spend time with her for the first time in ages. Then I would call to Killian's old house with Liam and Henry too. Just to refresh his memory.

I started the day off by sleeping in. Sophie woke me up by crying, because she was hungry. Liam and Henry were already awake and were in their rooms doing their homework. I made myself and Sophie breakfast and as usual she made a huge mess. I cleaned her up then changed her into some warm clothes because the common February winter storms were to arrive soon and it was a little cold out.

I strapped Sophie into her car seat and she fell asleep for her first nap of the day. I drove to a Starbucks drive in and got myself a hot chocolate with cinnamon and then drove to an indoor soft play place. I stayed in the car until Sophie woke up again and we went inside.

We spent a good three hours there, having fun and enjoying ourselves. It was really nice to spend time with Sophie and just forget about everything else for a little while.

We picked up some lunch then drove home to eat it with the boys before getting back into the car.

"Emma, where are we going?"

"Uh, we are going to see Killian."

"We are?!"

"Yeah, he got discharged today and he went back to your old house so we are going to see him."

A little smile formed on Liam's face as I started the engine and drove out of the driveway. It was so weird going back to Killian's old place, almost as weird as him not remembering me. I shook the thought off my shoulders and continued to drive until I pulled into his driveway.

I didn't know for sure if he was here but I knocked at the door anyways with Sophie sleeping in her carry car seat and Liam and Henry beside me. We waited an anxious few seconds before the door opened.

"You again?!"

"Please don't close the door! Your kids and brother wanted to see you."

"My kids?"

"Yeah."

He stared at Sophie long and hard before he noticed Liam and he gave a huge grin

"Liam!"

"Killian? You remember me?"

"Of course I do! You are my brother."

He pulled him into a hug and I smiled at them both.

"Look, It may seem weird but can we just please come inside and speak?"

"Uh, yeah come on in."

He opened the door wider and we walked inside. It looked exactly the same as it did when he left it. He had a bag of prescriptions on the table and a few forms too.

"Uh, Liam and Henry do you want to go back down to the basement? I know there's nothing in there it's just so we can talk?"

"Yeah of course mom."

I watched them go downstairs and I turned to look at Killian.

"So?"

"So."

"You won't seem to leave me alone won't you? Do you have an obsession or something? I know, your confronting your high school crush."

"No, um I'm your wife, actually."

"That's actually quite funny because I'm not married."

I looked down the his left hand and saw his ring was gone.

"Wha-what did you do with your ring!"

"Oh, that. It's in my bag, i had no idea what it was."

"You don't remember the conversation we had in the hospital do you?"

"Nope."

"Well, this makes things more complicated."

"Look, you seem like a nice girl, and I thank you for bringing Liam back to me. I thought he went missing or something and I didn't remember because it happened when I was in that coma. But I really want you to leave now."

"But your step son and your daughter want to see their father. It's been almost seven months. They miss you."

"I don't have kids."

"What,you think I'm making it up?"

He stared at Sophie in her car seat again and had a face of no emotions. She began waking up and I lifted her out to soothe her.

"Please Killian. It breaks me knowing you dont remember me, but it hurts even more knowing you don't remember the kids."

"As much as I understand your pain, I can't love someone I don't know. I'm sorry."

"Okay, but just don't push them out. I don't want them to grow up the way I did."

"And what way was that?"

"Alone, sad and scared."

"I'll make the time if it really means so much to you."

"It does, it really, really does."

"Okay."

"Alright."

"I'm sorry to ask. But what's your name again?"

"Emma, Emma Jones or Emma Swan, whatever makes you feel more comfortable."

"I like it."

"I know it may seem odd. But I want to invite you to dinner."

"Yep, I knew it! Highschool crush."

"Nope, wife. And it's just so we can talk alone and sort some things out. Maybe I can tell you about the things you've forgot?"

"When you put it like that then yes. I'd love to have dinner."

"Great, here's my number and address. Just incase."

"Thank you."

"Well, I'll see you...."

"Tomorrow night?"

"Suits me."

I moved forward as if I was about to kiss him and then he put out his hand. I smiled and shook it before picking up Sophie's car seat and calling the boys.

"Hey Emma, uh would it be okay for Liam to stay tonight."

"Yes! Please Emma please!"

"Sure, he is your brother after all."

"Thanks."

I said goodbye then got into the car with Sophie and Henry. I drove home and put Sophie down to play in her room whilst I sat on the rocking chair with my MacBook, scrolling through some photos I could print out and take to dinner tomorrow night. Hopefully it will get his memory jogging and hit refresh.
