Emma's Pov

I am currently giving Henry the pre date pep talk. Just be yourself and call if you need anything kind of deal. I give him a big hug and a kiss on the head before finally letting go. Even though he had been dating Violet for a while and I know she is a good kid, I still miss the times where I was constantly with Henry. It is hard as a parent to let go of a child.

"Okay, you guys are going to a movie and dinner right?"

"Be home by 10 at the latest," I say sternly.

"Give him a break Emma. He'll be home by eleven. He is almost sixteen," Killian yells from the upstairs while passing the staircase.

"Fine. Eleven. Whatever your father say. I mean stepfather, sorry," I apologize profusely to him. I didn't want to push the Killian and father situation on to Henry. I want Henry to make that decision.

"It's fine Mom. He is my father now, stepfather or not. I may not call him dad yet, but he has been more of a father than Dad was. I loved Dad, but I am trying to move on now that he is gone. It's okay for you to call him my dad."

Tears start to swell up in my eyes and I cover my mouth.

"Henry, your such a good kid. I hope you know that. I am so lucky to be your mother. I just wished you had more time with your father. You didn't deserve to go through any of that."

Henry wraps his arms around me.

"Gosh. Too many hormones. It is going to be a rough couple of months."

"It's okay mom. Killian and I will be by your side though it all."

And that just makes me cry harder.

"Emma, love, I am off to take Henry to his date with Violet," he says as he come running down the stairs.

Since David has taught Killian how to drive really well in the past few months , I allow him to drive Henry to his date. He loves to spend even to little amounts of time with Henry, just like me. He seems to really like Violet too. I think he ships them a little too much.

"Okay, but Mr. must be home by 6, no stopping by the station to chat with David okay."

"Why? Is there someone in need of my company, other than David?" he says as he wraps his arms loosely around my waist and stares deeply into my eyes.

"I am always in need of your company," I tease, "but we have dinner with my family at 6:30 tonight."

"Okay I will be home by 6," he kisses my forehead.

"Love you, Mom," Henry shouts as he walks out of the door.

"Love you, Em," Killian follows.

After they left, I go upstairs to get ready for diner. I turn on my playlist, in need of some good music. I want to look nice for dinner. I put on a black dress with a black and blue halter keyhole top and a black skirt. And to finish off my outfit, a brown thin belt.

I  walk into the bathroom to start doing my makeup and hair. I put my hair up into a tight bun and put on light neutral colored makeup.

Then my favorite song comes on. I Believe by Christina Perri. I start to hum to the song while finishing my makeup. Then I start mouthing the words.

I believe if I knew where I was going I'd lose my way
I believe that the words that he told you are not your grave

I start to vocalizing the words. I hardly ever sign, but apparently the little one wants mama to sing to them.

I know that we are not the weight of all our memories
I believe in the things that I am afraid to say
Hold on, hold on

My voice grows louder

I believe in the lost possibilities you can see
And I believe that the darkness reminds us where light can be
I know that your heart is still beating, beating, darling
I believe that you fell so you would land next to me

'Cause I have been where you are before
And I have felt the pain of losing who you are
And I have died so many times, but I am still alive

I start sway, rocking my head with the music.

I believe that tomorrow is stronger than yesterday
And I believe that your head is the only thing in your way
I wish that you could see your scars turn into beauty
I believe that today it's okay to be not okay
Hold on, hold on

'Cause I have been where you are before
And I have felt the pain of losing who you are
And I have died so many times, but I am still alive

I place my hands to my stomach, smiling at the little bundle growing in there.

Killian's Pov

I walk into the house and drop the keys in the bowl on the counter. I hear music coming from upstairs. I walk upstairs and enter our bedroom.

She is singing, Emma. I never hear Emma sing. I mean I heard her sing during our wedding, but I haven't heard her sing since. And her voice is gorgeous.

I sit on the edge of the bed, trying not to disturb her. I just close my eyes and listen to her beautiful voice.

I believe in the lost possibilities you can see
And I believe that the darkness reminds us where light can be
I know that your heart is still beating, beating, darling
I believe that you fell so you would land next to me

'Cause I have been where you are before
And I have felt the pain of losing who you are
And I have died so many times, but I am still alive

I believe that tomorrow is stronger than yesterday
And I believe that your head is the only thing in your way
I wish that you could see your scars turn into beauty
I believe that today it's okay to be not okay
Hold on, hold on

'Cause I have been where you are before
And I have felt the pain of losing who you are
And I have died so many times, but I am still alive

Finally I stand up and change the song to You Are Loved by Josh Groban. Emma turns around, startled by the sudden change of music. I walk towards her.

"How long have you been here?" she says, her cheeks were reddening.

"Long enough to hear your beautiful voice."

"You know I don't like people listening to me singing."

"I know, but I couldn't help myself. Besides don't be embarrassed. Your voice is beautiful."

"You impossible."

"So are you," I tease.

She giggles.

"Care to dance, m'lady?"

"I'd love to," she replies.

I take her into my arms. I wrap my arms around her waist and she wraps hers around my neck. We sway to the music. She lays her head on my chest and I set my chin on her head.

This was my song for Emma. It is all about how much you are loved and how you should never give up no matter how tough times are.

I start to whisper sing the words into her ear. She pulls me closer to her.

"Don't give up, it's just the weight of the world," I sing," Don't give up. Everyone needs to be heard. You are loved."

I twirl her around, forcing her to let me go. She collides back into me as the song ends.

"Emma," I start, our faces inches apart.

"I know,' she was almost in tears.

I want to tell her how strong she was and how amazing she was. I want to tell her how much she was worth and how kind she was. I want to tell her how loved she was and how she would never fail to protect the one she loved, but I couldn't. I didn't need to. She knew from the second I played the song, from the second I said her name moments ago.

We just gaze into each other eyes. I break our eye contact and pull her into a hug. It wasn't a kiss, but it was just as powerful. We just hug, holding each other tight, not wanting to ever let go.
