Chapter Thirteen: Long road, safe home
Emma's POV
"Your doctor says your treatment starts in an hour, so I am just going to run out and get a coffee if that's okay?"
"Yeah yeah of course."
I stood up off my chair that I had been sitting on for the past two hours and I heard my joints begin the crack because they hadn't been stretched.
After grabbing a coffee and rushing back to Killian's room I found him talking to his doctor about something.
"Uh this is Emma my Ex-wife."
"Ex-wife?"
"We're close friends."
"Ah I see, it's nice to meet you Ms?-"
"Swan, Emma Swan. Is everything okay here?"
"I was just about to run through some things about the surgery, maybe you'd like to hear them?"
"Yes of course."
"Okay so what we will do is put you into a medically induced coma, then start a few rounds of treatment that will basically put your brain to sleep and let it regenerate. Hopefully this will give you back all your memories! Eventually you'll wake up from the coma, but we don't know specifically when, and we also don't know if this treatment will work. There is a 20% chance it will and there is a 30% chance you could die because of the toxins."
I saw the fear in Killian's eyes as he could probably see it in mine too.
"I still want to do it, I want to try. I'm going to do it for my family not for me."
I smile to myself when I hear he was doing it all for us, his daughter, me, Henry ,Liam and his unborn child. He didn't even have his memories and he still chose us over himself.
"Okay well I shall be back soon to start."
"Okay thank you."
The doctor leaves the room, but comes back shortly after with a team of nurses and doctors and lots of equipment.
"Ms Swan I have to ask you to leave to give us some space."
"Wait! I want to be here when you put him in a coma. This could be my last time with him."
"Sure. Okay ladies and gents time to begin."
I grab onto one of Killian's hand as a nurse approaches his IV with a huge needle. His grip tightens and I rub his hand to soothe his nerves.
"Everything will be okay."
"I know, but just promise me you'll be here when I wake."
"Of course! I won't leave. Lily is taking good care of the kids."
"Thank you."
The nurse finally pushed in the chemical that would put him into the coma and in a few seconds Killian's eyes went heavy. I kissed his hand before being ushered out by the nurses.
.......
"Ms Swan, when Killian wakes up we need to make sure his brain gets to work straight away so we can know the full results of the trail. So may I ask, if you could question him? Maybe ask him one question, about life before the shooting?"
"Yeah yeah. I'll figure something out. Do you know when I can go in and see him?"
"Well he's just done his treatment, it was a rough four hours but we managed to put the right amount inside his system. The earliest he could wake up is in about two hours, but don't get your hopes up. It could be days."
"I won't, thank you."
"I think you can go sit with him now. Better keep that promise you made."
"Yep."
I slowly entered Killian's room and saw a wire hooked up the the side of his skull. A little, tiny patch of his hair had to be shaved in order for the wire to go in, but it was hardly noticeable and it will grow back in a matter of days. He wasn't on anything else except the IV which was a huge relief to me as i could bare to see him in a state like he was when he got shot.
I waited and waited and waited, every minute becoming even more unbearable. But Killian's didn't even flinch. I really did hope that whatever chemicals the nurse pushed into his body didn't end up permanently leaving him in a coma. Him being awake with no memory was bad enough.
I FaceTimed Lily and she very kindly let me talk to Henry, Liam and Sophie for a short while before having to go as she was putting Sophie to bed. Once again it was silent and when it's quiet that's when the overthink in and anxiety strikes. I was a huge mess and I almost began to cry just looking at him.
I got up from my seat and sat at the end of the bed just to be as close as I could. I grabbed onto his hand as I was finding any possible way to stay awake.
All of a sudden, Killian flinched and it jerked me wide awake.
"Killian?"
Next his legs moved then his hands and then he fluttered his eyes open.
"Oh my god how are you."
"What-"
"Wait! I was told by the doctor to ask you a question straight away. A question about life before the shooting, uhhh okay. Ummm right. I've got it. What date did we meet."
"Huh?"
"Please just answer the question Killian!"
"Um, I think-"
"No no, you don't think! You know! Please Killian."
"The...the 3rd of July, almost four years ago."
"You-you remember!"
"Emma.."
"Oh my god you remember!"
I laughed and threw myself on top of him, wrapping my arms around his neck. He too laughed and placed his arms on my back. Both of us in puddles of our own tears of joy. I truly felt like the luckiest, happiest woman in the world right now. I got him back. The man I fell in love with. My Killian.
......
After almost a year of heartache and pain, I was laying beside my love again. Well, it wasn't everything I imagined, we were lying in a hospital bed after all.
I had got in beside Killian, all snuggled up like we used to. My smile had never left my face, and it got even wider the instant the doctor said he can come home in a day or so. Come back to our home. Me and Killian decided to leave New York together and move to Boston. Because we wanted to start afresh.
But I didn't want to think about any of that. All I cared about was that I was actually lying beside my husband- well ex husband and that he was back.
"I'm so glad your okay. I missed the old you."
"So you hated the other me?
"Of course I didn't, but it's nice to know that my husband remembers me."
"Well, ex husband."
"Stuff the divorce, we'll get married again."
"Now I like the sound of that."
We intertwined our hands and he kissed my hand which made me smile like an idiot. Oh how I missed it all.
"Hold up a sec."
Killian sat up with an confused face and it startled me.
"Killian?"
"Emma, you're pregnant?"
"Yea-yeah I am."
"You mean?"
"We're having another baby."
As another enormous smile spread across Killian's face, showing his pearly white teeth , he hugged me tightly and tears formed in both of our eyes.
"Do you think Lily could bring Sophie, Henry and Liam over?"
"I'm sure she will, but it's almost 4am and you've had a rough day. Let's get some sleep."
"Okay, as you wish."
We snuggled up to each other again and our hands were still joined.
"I love you Killian."
"I love you too Emma."
