Finding You {UNDER EDITING}

Chapter 20

*Emma's POV*

I wake up, excited to go sailing. I bounce up from bed, and I quickly head into the large closet to see if there is anything to wear. A riding outfit is hung up nicely in the front of the closet, I put it on. The pants are black and there is a fitted white blouse, and a corset. I leave out the corset because it was too tight around my stomach, but I look to the back of the closet and I see a few things that look familiar. I walk over there to find my red leather jacket, and my long brown leather jacket that Killian had given me. Since I had left out the corset of the riding outfit, I slip on the brown leather jacket. I look more like a pirate that way. I smile in the mirror and I decide to wake Killian up. I walk over to the bed and I shake his arm very gently. He begins to stir, he brings his hand up to his eyes rubbing the sleep from them.

"Come on, get ready to go." I say as soon as he sits up and he looks awake.

"Alright." He says then looks at what I am wearing. "Hey." He continues, touching the leather of my jacket. "Let's go, love."

We board the ship, the creaky planks now so familiar. Killian leads the ship out of the harbor. The breeze flips my hair back, it now swaying in the wind. The way the ship moves back and fourth with the waves make me feel so steady and free. Closing my eyes I let it all consume me. I soon feel arms wrap around my waist, and one hand is placed on my stomach.

"I love you." He whispers in my ear.

"I love you more."

When we get back to the palace, people are carrying in flowers, and food in all directions. In the distance I can see my mother pointing at many different selections of things. Then she spots us.

"You guys are back! Tonight we are having a 'Welcome Back' ball for everyone who was in Storybrooke. Emma, Killian I picked out your outfits. Killian you will get ready with Henry in his room, and Emma I made you a warm bath in yours. You smell like salt and wind. Now go get ready!" She says really fast then walks away.

"Oh, I am so excited." I say sarcastically. Killian laughs and we part our ways.

I took a nice long soak in the tub my mother got ready. When I got out I looked at the outfit my mother picked out for me.

It was a beautiful white dress with a crystal embroidered V-neck line. It had a matching belt that went right over my stomach nicely. The dress was flowy and light weight. She left out small rose bud earrings and a matching ring which I place on my index finger. I kept on my usual necklace that I always wear. I did a simple makeup and then placed my hair up in a messy bun leaving out my bangs. I slip on small white heels, and now I am done. It seems like a lot but it looks really simple.

When I go downstairs everyone is already there. I search frantically around for Killian but my mother and Henry approach me first.

"Oh Emma! You look beautiful!" My mother says.

"Thanks." I say. "Hey kid, how've you been? I haven't seen you all day." I say turning to Henry

"Good, I've been better though. Do you know where Killian is?" I ask him.

"Yeah, he is talking with grandpa over by the drinks."

"I should have known." I start to walk that way but I turn back around to Henry. "You're my first dance tonight, okay?"

"Okay mom." He says and I then walk off to find Killian.

I find him, exactly where Henry said he was. He was cleaned up pretty well and was in a suit. (Well in an Enchanted Forest suit.) My father spots me first and Killian soon follows his gaze and when his eyes meet mine, his jaw about drops.

"Hey guys." I say as soon as I reach them.

"Hey." They both say.

"You look lovely tonight, Swan." Killian says.

"You don't look to bad yourself." I reply smiling.

"The dancing starts in a few you might want to get ready." My father says walking off.

"I promised Henry first dance." I say to Killian. "Come steal me in a few." I say following my father.

"I don't know how to do this." Henry says not to long after the music start.

"That makes the two of us. Although I do know how to waltz." There is a pause between us. "Henry, are you alright with me being with Killian, and having children?"

"Are you kidding me! I am so excited to finally have siblings, and I really like Killian. As long as your happy, I am happy." I smile at Henry. The first song ends it changes to a waltz. The same waltz me and Killian danced to when we went to the past. I see him cut through the crowd of people until he reaches me. We start dancing just like we did before.

"Seems like we never left." He says.

"I'm just glad there is peace for once." I reply.

"Don't say anything you'll jinx it."

"What do you know about jinxing?" I ask, surprised.

"You learn a lot when you hang around the young lad for almost 2 years."

Before we know it the waltz ends, and my mother starts speaking.

"30 years ago, today." She starts and I realize it's my birthday, I'm 30. "We were all sent to Storybrooke, as punishment. Not knowing who you are for 28 years hurts. But we were saved. When Emma Swan crossed that town line, all of our lives had changed. When a royal is born you are supposed to announce the name in front of the kingdom. My daughter never got the chance, because of what happened 30 years ago.

So I present to you, Princess Emma Swan."
