David walked briskly to the ship and then just walked in, he wasn't wasting any time before he was in front of Killian, Emma and Henry. "I know....you probably don't want to see me" he walked over to Emma and placed a hand at the bottom of her leg. "I'm sorry...I'm really sorry" he said hiding the knuckles that were bruised in his jacket.
Kilian growled a little and stood up, protectively holding onto Emma's hand, he wouldn't het him hurt her again. "I care nothing for your apologies. Now go" Killian said turning back to face his work, eyes skimming over what he'd Found, this was definitely giving to work.
Emma tried to open her eyes as much as she could even though all she wanted to do was sleep but gave a small nod to let Killian know she understood what he said. That was when her eyes turned to face the person who came walking into the ship. "David?" She whispered at first thinking maybe it was the fever getting to her but by the way that Killian held her hand and spoke she knew he was really there. Emma let her eyes close slightly before hearing his words but she didn't say anything for a few minutes before she said. "I'm sorry for lying.." she whispered, one hand resting against her side over her wound while the other held into the pirates hand.
Henry didn't say anything, he just sat up and watched as he pushed a few strands of hair from Emma's face but he figured this was for those three to work out so he thought he would just stay quiet.
David nodded and watched Killian work, he was trying badly to keep his temper, he gave a small smile to Henry and then turned to the pirate, glad that Emma didn't seem to want to fightt anymore, not today at least. "What's wrong with her?" He asked stepping beside hook and placing a hand on her forehead, he shook his head when she apologised. He reached out and took her hand. "there's no need to apologise love." He said to Emma and placed a hand on her forehead, she was really burning up. "I'm sorry...I let my anger get the best of me. But I promise that's all done with now" he said and cupped her cheek saying that she couldn't stay.
Emma looked up at David although she could feel herself wanting to fall asleep but she tried to keep her eyes opened since she didn't want to yet. Henry was sat on the bed in his same spot as he watched them before telling David "she's gotten a fever." He said although he could tell Hook had been trying to not do anything to David even though he knew Hook was still angry with him.
When Emma felt him grab her hand, she gave a small squeeze although it was weak. She didn't forgive David for everything that was said since a lot of it still hurt but the fever was making her tired and not want to fight with him. Her other hand kept reaching for the pirates arm or hand like she was still making sure that he was still there next to him. "Is it?" She murmured hearing him say his temper was behind him and hoped that it would mean he was coming to accept the relationship and that her and Hook were staying together no matter what he said.
David gently held her hand and nodded at her question, he knew the fever would probably be a big part of her talking to him right now but he didn't question it. "I...it is" he replied and reached out tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear. He looked down at his knuckles which were badly bruised and slightly cut but then looked back at his daughter. "It'll take me some time to.... try...but I'm trying" he said looking over at Hook giving him a small nod watching him take care of Emma.
Killian placed his hand on top of Emma's and leaned forward, kissing her cheek. "I'm here love. I'm still here" he said, he pressed another wet cloth to her forehead and checked her pulse, he either needed to cook her down or make her really warm to sweat it out. "Emma love, how are you feeling?" He asked worriedly after briefly nodding back to David, he still wasn't okay with what he did by a long shot but he had more important things to deal with right not.
Emma looked up at David as she listened and nodded some hearing what he was going to try but knew that it would take time. Emma still wasn't completely wanting to forgive him for all that was said and being shot, any other time she wouldn't have been talking to him but at the moment she just didn't have it in her to start any type of argument. When Emma felt Hook's kiss to her cheek, she closed her eyes a little with a weak smile and turned her hand a little to hold onto the pirate's. The blonde listened, trying to focus on his question "tired.. and sore." She murmured in reply, she was trying to stay as still as she could since everytime she moved it sent a pain up through her side.
Hook nodded and thought about giving giving her a bath, or placing a few more cloths on her body where it might be the hottest, but he couldn't do that with David and Henry here. "Alright guys...I think you'd better head on out, I don't want you catching her Fever, if she gets better though I'll let you know" he said aiming that last part mostly at Henry as he didn't want to see David for a few days, though he didn't fail to notice the bruising in his hand.
David nodded and grabbed Henry's shoulders. "come on kid, we've still got to give Snow a chance to come visit her" he said and stood up and gently stroked Emma's cheek. He left the cabin and he pulled out his phone. "We're on our way back, me and Henry" he text and then pressed send. He then hesitated a little knowing he'd have to tell Henry what he did to Regina. "Kid...wait...there's something I have to tell you" he frowned not prepared to see Henry's reaction. Henry nodded at Hook and knew that his mom also needed to just rest. "I'll see you two later." Henry said and gave his moms hand a squeeze before he got up and gave the pirate a smile before he followed David out and off the ship.
Emma gave her son and weak smile and watched them leave before she let her eyes close, not sleeping, she just couldn't keep her eyes open much longer but knew her and shook were now alone again. She kept her eyes closed as she spoke though her voice came out softly. "How bad.. is the fever?" Before she eventually opened her eyes again to look up at the pirate.
Killian frowned and walked around the cabin grabbing a few more clothes. "it's getting worse" he said, he dipped them into the bowl and he pulled the blanket off of her. "I know it's cold but we've got to try get rid of it this way first" he said. He layed the cloth on her stomach under the top, being careful of the wound before asking permission to slide her trousers off. Emma worked to keep her eyes open as she watched him move around the cabin, shivering slightly when she felt the cold cloth pressed against her stomach. "Thank you.." she whispered to him and when she heard him asking for permission, she nodded at him, allowing for him to.
Killian nodded and carefully unbuttoned her trousers, he slid them down and placed a soaked cloth on the top of each thigh, he pressed a soft kiss to the top of her thighs and then sat back down in the chair. "Under different circumstances I'd totally be taking advantage of you not having trousers on right now", he hummed hoping to make her feel even just a little better.
Emma watched him before she shivered again from the coldness and turned her head to look over at him when he sat in the chair but she couldn't help but give a small, weak laugh hearing what he said. Smiling a little. "Maybe once I'm healed." She said softly and reached out slowly to give his knee a small squeeze.
Killian smiled and nodded, he hoped that soon she'd be able to heal, maybe even use her own magic, but she was far too weak for that and he wouldn't let her drain herself like that. "Just maybe?" He smiled softly, he pressed a kiss to her forehead and pulled a blanket over her again.
Emma looked up at him and smiled a little bit but knew how he was trying to make her feel better. She smiled some before she closed her eyes feeling the kiss to her forehead. "I love you, Hook.." she whispered. "And I'm proud of you." She knew how hard it had been for him to not loose his temper when David had come down into the cabin.
Killian smiled and reached over for her hand. "nope, I love you more Emma" he said and cupped her cheek softly. "I'm not going anywhere if you're still tired?" He asked absent mindedly running a hand through her hair with a soft smile. "Proud of me for what love? If it's for not punching David you're welcome" he chuckled almost jokingly. "besides....looking after you right now is more important" he said, he frowned and recalled seeing the bruises on his knuckles. "though I don't think someone else was as lucky" he said with a small frown, they were definitely fresh and new.
Emma smiled a little as she held his hand, interlocking their fingers slowly before she gave a small giggle hearing what he said and gave his hand a squeeze before she nodded. "For not punching him." She agreed softly. "Even if you had to take care of me.. I know it was hard for you.. to keep yourself from hitting him.." she said softly. She did feel tired and wanted to sleep but at the same time she didn't want to. She gave a tiny frown hearing what he said and nodded some "I'm sure.. everything is alright." She murmured.
Killian nodded softly and pressed a kiss to her head. "It was...but I'm not that man anymore...trying not to be", he said and pressed a soft kiss to her cheek. He stood up and walked over to the other side of the bed, he layed down carefully on top of it and pressed another kiss to her other cheek. He ran his hand gently along her lower abdomen, steering clear of the wound and just looked at her. "I'm sure it is too" he said and rest his head on the pillow next to her. "I want to cuddle you but I don't want to hurt you" he pouted, even like this and running a fever, she was still the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen.
Emma gave a nod and smiled a little bit. "I know you aren't. I'm glad you are trying to be better." She said softly. She knew she didn't know too much about all he's done but she knew enough and knew he was trying to be a better man which is one reason why she loved him. When she saw him get up, she watched him before turning her head slightly to be able to look at him although the cool cloths felt nice against her warm skin. She felt his hand run along her lower abdomen as a tiny hum left her at his touch. She knew her skin probably still felt warm to the touch but the cool cloth was helping to bring it down, though slowly. Emma couldn't help but smile some at his words and pout. "You couldn't ever hurt me." She whispered and slowly put a hand on his cheek, brushing her thumb against him.
Killian smiled, it seemed that sometimes Emma was the only person who understood him, maybe that's because she had a similar childhood, that she was very different to the person she used to be as a kid and a teenager, though, he knew, that emotion of being alone never left either of them. "I hope not" he said when Emma told him he could never hurt her, he didn't want to, but with fragile she was right now he couldn't take any chances. "I'm really sorry this happened to you" he hummed, dabbing the cloth on her forehead over her cheeks softly. "We should probably take your shirt off too, just until you're temperature goes down a little or stops getting worse" he suggested seeing that the faint redness in her cheeks now we're due to the fever.
Emma looked at the pirate as she smiled a bit at him but she was glad to have him there with her even though she didn't like how weak and vulnerable she seemed but knew that the gunshot wound could have been way worse than it was nose despite the fever she had but she did feel a little bad for making the pirate worry as much as he was and needing to take care of her but she wasn't sure if this would mean David would let her back at the loft even if she didn't fully forgive him, even if she did she wasn't sure if she would want to. She had liked being in the same bad as Hook and waking up next to him like she had the previous morning. When she heard his suggestion, she smiled a bit. "Are you using this as an excuse just to undress me?" She said, joking a bit. She knew how weak Emma probably looked between being pale and having a fever, but she wanted to make it seem like she wasn't as weak as she felt she was right now.
Killian smiled softly and kissed her cheek, he appreciated that she tried to joke a little and break the worry and tension since he was already wondering if she was going to be okay. "of course it is" he smiled and slowly pulled her shirt off, he didn't want her to move too much so he was glad that it was a loose shirt he could slip off rather easily. He bent down and pressed a few soft kisses to Emma's chest and to the swell of her breasts before he reached over and grabbed a cloth, dabbing it along her chest and neck before resting it over her chest softly. "Let me know if you feel better or worse okay?" He said, worry glinted in his eyes as he looked at the gunshot wound on her side.
At feeling the kiss to her cheek, Emma smiled some before she gave a small laugh at his answer and nodded but feeling him taking her shirt off, she moved her arms a bit to help get it over her arms and head but other than that she didn't move much. She let out a tiny hum when she felt the kisses he placed and looked at him with a nod. "I will." She promised but she could see the worry in his eyes. "I'm sorry for making you worry.." she whispered and put a hand on his arm.
Killian shook his head as he laid back down next to her, resting his hand back on her stomach. "it's alright love...I'll worry about you no matter what, it's what it means to love you", he said and gave her a small smile. "And I love you so much" he pressed a kiss to her neck softly and traced his fingers along her abdomen. "It was nice to see Henry anyway" he said, it was nice to know that he wasn't doing too bad after the incident at the diner, he'd seen exactly how terrified and scared he looked when he had left the moment David pulled his gun out.
Emma looked at him with a tiny smile and nodded some as she placed her hand over his. "I love you much more." She murmured softly as she closed her eyes slightly though a tiny moan left her when she felt his kiss to her neck but smiled some at feeling his fingers along her abdomen. "It was nice seeing him." She agreed knowing how worried her son had probably been but was glad she had gotten to see him.
Killian smiled and blushed a little bit, he never failed to smile from Emma's comments, even when she wasn't well. He traced his fingers along her hip bone and nuzzled his face into her neck, a few tears slipping from his eyes, he pressed a few shaky kisses to her neck before hiding his face into her shoulder gently not wanting her to see that he was upset. "I thought I was going to lose you, Emma" he whispered, remembering how he'd seen the blood on her shirt for the first time and seeing her go so pale, to her passing out which scared him to death. "And I can't lose you" he said softly.
Emma smiled a bit as she felt his kisses but felt tears fall from his eyes and rubbed his arm gently but that was when she heard what he said. She hadn't thought of how seeing her bleeding and passing out would do to him. Emma moved her hand up to rest against his head before she leaned her head against his. "Shh.. it's alright." She whispered and pressed a kiss to his head. "You aren't going to loose me. I'll be okay." She told him, she knew once they got her fever down she should be fine but she didn't want him to be so scared. "I'm here, it'll take more then this for you to loose me." She whispered softly, one hand still on his head and moved her other hand to rest against his arm. The red mark she had on her wrist from when David grabbed her the other day had faded and was now hardly visible.
Killian took a few moments to calm down after listening to her words, he liked being held by her, liked the feeling of her arms wrapped around him and her soft kisses to his head. He lifted his head up and quickly wiped a tear away before he linked his hand with Emma's. "I know it will...but it still scared me" he said softly, he pulled her hand to his lips and kissed her knuckles softly, his eyes wandered to the very faint red marks around her wrist and he pressed a few kisses to her skin. "Just please don't go and get shot again" he joked softly with a small son before pressing a soft kiss to her lips, he didn't care if she had a fever, he'd help her in any way that he could and be there for her, he wouldn't avoid her simply because she was sick.
Emma looked at him and ran her hand through his hair slightly before she smiled softly. "I'm sorry it did.. and that you have to worry so much." She said softly she gave his hand a weak squeeze before she heard his joke and gave a small laugh, wincing slightly before shaking her head. "I don't plan on getting shot anytime soon." She told him before she smiled some when she felt his kisses against her skin but feeling his lips on hers, she slowly kissed him back but was glad he didn't seem to mind how weak or the fever that she had.
Hook shook his head, parting from her lips for a second. "I don't mind the worrying...I just don't like seeing you like this" he said and pressed a small kiss to her jawline. "though I like being able to take care of you" he gently kissed down her stomach with a teasing look in her eye, avoiding her wound as it was still fresh. "I could do practically anything and you wouldn't be able to stop me" he grinned and slid down slowly pressing a few kisses to her thighs and gently running his hook over the skin before coming back up to kiss her lips again. "is there anything you need?" He asked thinking about getting her some more water, she really needed to keep drinking if she wanted to fight off dehydration and any serious illness.
Emma gave a nod and smiled a little at him. "I like having you taking care of me too.." she said softly as she felt his kisses but glanced down to watch him move down and gave a small pout when she saw the teasing look. "No.. I wouldn't be able to stop you." She said softly. "You are being mean, teasing the way you are." She said with a small smile but when she felt his lips on hers again, she kissed him back as she put a hand on the back of his neck but this gave her something other to think about then about her wound and the slight pain she had. "I wouldn't mind something to drink." She said after a moment.
Killian hummed softly against the kiss and and the feeling of her hand on the back of his neck. He let out a soft moan, nipping at her bottom lip gently as he pulled away and nodded. "of course" he said and pressed a kiss to her cheek and stood up, he grabbed the glass and emptied it, pouring some fresh water into the glass and handing it over to her. He placed the blanket over her once again seeing that she didn't feel any warmer than she had a few minutes ago and with the cold cloths on her skin he didn't want her to catch any more of a chill or fever than she already had.
Emma smiled some as she felt him nip at her bottom lip. She watched as he got up before she sat up slowly, not enough to be fully up but just enough so she could drink some water. She took the glass and gave him a smile before she lifted it to her lips and drank half of the water before she sat it down on the table and slowly laid back down as she felt the blanket over her once again. Though she just laid there looking up at him with a small smile.
Killian watched her and waited until she finished drinking how much she could, he made sure the glass was on the table properly and that Emma could lay back down okay, he pulled the blanket back over her, sitting on the chair beside her and holding her hand with a wide smile. "What?" He chuckled.
