4 Months Later

I can't sleep knowing that Killian will be here in two days. Ruby and I left for New York right after the semester ended. We spent months searching on Craigslist and other sites for an apartment, and let me tell you New York is not cheap. Most of the apartments in our price range looked like something out of the movie Joe's Apartment, and probably actually did have hundreds of singing cockroaches scampering about. We got lucky though dad knew someone at one of the precincts here in the city and he was renting out an apartment and cut us a deal, and also got me a summer internship at the police academy, where I get to see what goes into all of it, even with my background they accepted me as they know my father is a well respected man in StoryBrooke. Also I was able to fix my major and I'm back in Criminal Justice. The best part is that the internship is paid and if I do well it could open a lot of doors. Sure I have to get up at the ass crack of dawn, but it's totally worth it.

Killian graduated with the help of Mr. Gold. Ruby, Tink and I Whistled so loud that the people in front of us shot us all dirty looks. For now he's working at the docks helping repair boats and he loves it. He hasn't had much of a break and neither have I, but with the Fourth of July we both had some time off so he's driving down to visit. He's also bringing Dorothy with him, she and Ruby are very serious.

I've seen Henry a lot since that day that Killian showed up on my couch, and my parents have become a huge part of his life as they babysit him consistently and he loves them so much. Being here away from him sucks, but we Skype almost every night and when I get back we are heading right to the ice cream parlor. Another good thing is that Neal now has a restraining order and is not allowed any of my family, I don't think he'll ever change or make time for Henry.

Noise outside my bedroom door makes it even harder to sleep. My nightmares have decreased since coming to New York, but sleeping is still a challenge. I get up and walk to open the door, I'm about to scream at them to be quiet when I notice two black boots are raised on our new Ikea coffee table.

"That's a new table you know," I teased.

Killian looks up with a smirk.

"You're early," I say.

"Aye, I missed my girl," he says with a smile.

He stands and walks over to my bedroom door.

"Where did everyone go? I heard voices," I ask.

I hear a loud bang against Ruby's door. Killian looks over at me and grins.

"They are occupied," he says.

As he stands in front of me he leaves not even a centimeter of space between us. His fingers slide up the skin on my arm, goosebumps forming.

"And so am I."

I grab Killian by the collar and pull his lips hard to mine, I can feel his smile from underneath.

"We are gonna be occupied for a long while," he says.

"I wouldn't doubt that."

Now I'm the one smirking under his lips. He pushes me into the bedroom and the door slams with a bang.

"So Ms. Swan tell me now do you believe in happy endings?" he asks wiggling his brows.

"No I don't," I say.

He pulls back looking at me funny.

"I believe in happy beginnings."
