Chapter Nine: The morning after
Emma's POV
I flinched as the morning sun came racing in through a crack in the curtains, I slowly blinked to let my eyes adjust to new found brightness. I sat up and looked around in a daze, trying to remember anything I had done in the past 24 hours.
That's when I realised I was naked under the sheets.
"Shit!"
I pulled the sheets over my collar bone and looked to my left and found it empty. I breathed the biggest sigh of relief and as lay back down again. The last 12 hours flooded back into my mind. Was I Happy? Was i full of regret? Well, both. I was full of regret because I knew how awkward things would be now that I had just had sex with a guy- my husband who doesn't remember me, and I was happy because I finally did have sex with my husband. Feels awful weird to say, but I did it. It's worth a celebration.
I got out of bed and raced to the shower. Whilst showering, I thought about exactly where Killian went. Did he find his own way out? Did he leave right after? I honestly started freaking about it because I really hoped he didn't just pull a one night stand thing on me.
I got out, changed into some comfortable clothing, dryed my hair then ran into Sophie's nursery to wake her. But she wasn't in her crib. My first thought was that Henry had already brought her downstairs because he usually liked to check on her in the mornings instead of waking me, so I walked back out and began to go downstairs to get something to eat.
To my absolute horror, when I got close to the bottom of the staircase, I caught I glimpse of Killian sitting at the kitchen island with Henry and Sophie in her highchair. I quietly stepped back up a few steps and took a deep breath. No way was the guy- my husband I just had sex with sitting in my kitchen with my kids. I laughed to myself but then snapped out of it, took another deep breath and walked the rest of the stair case.
"Good morning mom."
"Morning, what's going on down here?"
"Uh, Killian made us breakfast. He said he stayed the night."
"He said that now?"
"Yeah, he says that the guest bedroom is awful cosy."
"That, that it is. Yeah, mmhm definitely."
"You okay mom?"
"Yeah are you alright there Emma?"
"Absolutely!"
Killian and Henry looked at each other and sniggered. I stared them both out and they shut up.
"Killian, can I talk to you a sec?"
"Yeah sure."
I walked down to the basement and Killian followed me.
"So I just want to ask wh-"
Before I could finish my sentence, Killian cut me off by kissing me. I joined in but then realised exactly what he was doing and pulled out and slapped him.
"Do you think your funny?"
"What?"
"Your not taking me seriously! Killian I love you..."
"Emma-."
"No Killian let me speak please."
"Continue."
"About last night."
"Last night?"
"I'm not sure I-"
"Emma! I thought you wanted what happened last night?"
"I did! I really really did!"
"Then what's troubling you!"
"What's troubling me is that if you get your memories back your still going to remember all this and I can't put that burden of feeling guilty upon you.."
"But I won't feel guilty. As you said, your my wife. It's not like your cheating."
"But it feels like I am."
"Then why?"
"Killian just go."
"Fine, you don't have to ask twice."
And with that he walked out of the basement and probably out of the house too. A few tears began to sneak up in my eyes but I wiped them away, refreshed myself and walked back upstairs.
"Mom! Killian left all of a sudden. Is everything okay?"
"Yeah everything is fine! Come on I have to get you to school."
I grabbed my car keys and lifted Sophie from her high chair and out into her car seat. We were running a little late so I tried to get to school as fast as I could. When we arrived I waved goodbye to Henry before heading to store to get tonight's dinner. I put Sophie into a shopping cart and entered the store.
I picked up a few things then Sophie picked out the food she wanted from the baby food isle. Just as I turned the corner, I pushed my cart into someone.
"Oh I'm so sorry!"
"It's alright."
"Killian?"
"Hey."
"What are you doing here?"
"Just picking up a few things for me and Liam. What about you?"
"Oh um I'm doing the exact same."
"Yeah."
"Yeah."
"Look Emma I'm sorry about storming out earlier, I just got overwhelmed."
"No no I should be the one who's sorry. I over reacted. I know you were just trying to help."
"So are we friends again?"
"Yeah, friends."
I shook his hand and he gave me a little hug and it just seemed perfect. Like he was hugging me like he used to. I smelt his cologne and almost cried because it was the one I bought him a few weeks before he got shot. I remembered how much I loved cuddling up to him because of how nice the cologne smelled.
I snapped out of my trance and waved goodbye and so did Sophie. I paid for the shopping then loaded up the care before heading to the mall.
I bought the same cologne Killian was wearing.
It seemed creepy but I never realised how much I missed his scent until now. I picked Henry up from school a few hours later and when we arrived home I brought all the shopping into the kitchen, but lifted the cologne box and brought it up to my room. I almost sprayed a quarter of the bottle on my bed and round the room just to make it feel more like home. The home I'm missing and the home I want back.
.........
