Together

Living Our Love Song

You're dancing in my arms

With a spotlight moon in a sea of stars

Oh girl, we've come so far

Everything I want is everything that you are

-Jason Michael Carrol

A week later, Emma was staring at her email at work. The name "Nick Newman" in her inbox had been haunting her for two and a half days.

As much as she wanted to reply, she was scared. It would somehow make all of this real, and she wasn't sure she was ready for that. Ever since she found Victoria's letter a month ago, she had been dreaming of meeting her father. But what if he wasn't what she thought he was - or she reminded him too much of Sharon.

However, Emma knew from experience that taking a leap of faith could make her happier than she ever imagined. She had done it when she chose to let David and Ruth in, which led to becoming part of a much bigger family than she dared to hope for. She had done it when she trusted her heart with Killian, and now they were happily married and had one kid with another one on the way.

She took a deep breath and chose the latter option. Just as she moved her mouse over the email to open it, her husband's voice stopped her, "You know, Swan, that email won't reply to itself."

Emma rolled her eyes as she teased, "I was just about to open it when I was rudely interrupted."

Killian approached her and placed a kiss on her forehead before he teased back, "Well, your brother was complaining about you being cranky because you're hungry - even though he offered to take you to Granny's - so I thought I would bring you something to eat."

"I thought David deserved some time just with Mary Margaret and the kids," Emma pointed out before she defended, "And I was not cranky."

"Of course, love," Killian replied with a grin.

Emma turned her attention to the bag of food in his hand and asked, "What did you bring me to eat?"

"Grilled cheese, just the way you like it," Killian answered.

"Fries?" Emma questioned. 

"Onion rings," Killian told her.

"Good, I was testing you," Emma teased with a giggle.

Killian rolled his eyes as he said, "Swan, I'm pretty sure I know your favorite food after knowing you for over seven years."

Emma only laughed in response before Killian said, "Speaking of favorites, they're doing an 80s movies marathon in the park of the same city where I went with Robin, Roland, and Jamie to that baseball game a few months back."

"Are they showing the Princess Bride?" Emma asked.

"Yes, love. And Top Gun," Killian began before he continued, "I thought it would be the perfect date for us."

Emma thought for a moment before she said, "It sounds wonderful, but..."

Killian cut her off with, "I know what you're going to say. That our lives tend to be busy, which is true. Our lives will always be a bit crazy - especially after the baby comes. I think we deserve it."

Emma sighed before she began, "I know you're right - I would like a break from everything for at least a day." Killian smiled at her before she continued, "But I think you forgot something."

Killian looked at her strangely as he asked, "What, love?"

"Our seven-year old?" Emma pointed out.
