***Killian's POV***
Today is the day I will be leaving this wretched place, which is a bit sad- mostly because now Emma is going to be the only one here, but also because I am going to miss teasing my nurse Jane. She's a fun one.
I've packed my bags and am now dressed in my regular outfit-finally got my hook back-, and am ready to leave. I took one last look at my room, and left. I went to Emma's room next, but when I was going to open the door, that bloody Jane girl stopped my. "You are not allowed to go in there right now. She is feeling terrible and I don't think she wants any visitors. Later you can come. Maybe in a few hours or so." She said pushing me to the door.
"I am not going to come later, I need to see her RIGHT NOW! I am not going to leave without even saying goodbye, especially when she is in pain!" I then noticed that everyone was staring at me and whispering to each other. "Right," I said in a quieter tone, "You are going to tell her Killian Jones is asking if he can come in. If she says no, then I understand, but if she says yes... you let me in right away." I said yelling in my whisper.
"Normally, I don't take orders from patients, or more likely, freaks like you, but I think that is really cute. And I am sorry for being such a dork before." She said looking into my eyes.
"It's alright." I said smiling.
She walked away from me and disappearing into Emma's room. One minute later she came back out and told me she wants to see me. I said thank you and went into Emma's room.
When I saw her, she looked the same as how she did on the first day, maybe even a bit worse. I noticed how horrible she looked- not in a beauty way, she is beautiful in any state, but as in sick-. She had bags under her eyes, and her eyes are half closed, she was so pale, it was scary to look at her. She still has so many scars on her face and hand. Her chest and hands are covered in bandages. "Emma. I need to tell you something." I said walking up to her.
She coughed then croaked out something along the lines of, " I know what you are going to say. Your outfit gives it all away. I can't wait for the day I feel better so I can get out of this place as well."
"Why did you drive?" I asked a few seconds later, crouching beside her and holding her hand.
"What?" It took her a few seconds to understand. "You can't drive. It's not your fault, Killian. None of this is your fault." She said smiling a weak smile.
And that was where she was wrong. This is my fault, and if I knew how to drive that bloody machine, she wouldn't have been the one who is injured like this. "I will have to go, but I will visit you everyday." I said kissing her forehead.
"Alright. Next time you come over, can you bring Henry? I haven't seen him since the accident." She said coughing once more.
"Of course, love. But he has seen you, you know."
Her face looked... disappointed. Jane all of a sudden broke the silence and waved me over. "Your time is up, Jones. Say your good-byes." She said walking out of the room.
I looked over to Emma once more and kissed her softly. "I will be back, I promise. Please get better."
"I want to, but we will see." She let go of my hand and coughed again. "Please excuse me."
I chuckled and stood up. " I love you Emma."
"I love you too."
I took one last look at her and walked out of the room.

Every single day was the same schedule for me. Wake up, have breakfast, drop Henry off at school, go to Emma, spend about 10 minutes with her, then go to the library and read my 'Harry Potter' books that I have been obsessed with, then pick up Henry from school and stop by at the hospital.
Every single day Emma gets better and better, which is so amazing. Almost all her scars are gone, and she is not as pale anymore. Hopefully today David is going to pick her up from the hospital. I wanted to get her, but then I remembered I promised to help Lady Snow with her little prince.
"What else do we need for the party?" Everyone is getting ready for a huge party for Emma once she returns, which is going to take place in Granny's. Obviously.
"Decorations. Check. Food and drinks. Check. Presents... PRESENTS!" Snow stood up from the booth. "Does everybody have presents for Emma?" Most of them (including me) nodded, there were only a few who didn't have anything. Those people were Granny, a few of the dwarfs and a few other residents in Storybrooke
"We didn't get anything because we made the food and drinks, and because if we also give her things, she will probably sell them later on because she has so much." Granny said putting her hands on her hips and chuckling.
"Alright then, everyone put your gifts in this corner here," Snow said pointing to a corner, "and after we finish with that, we will be ready!"
After they finished with the gifts, and they did a few more checks, Granny's was ready for the party, and in half an hour, David is going to go get her.
***Emma's POV***
The time has finally come. My days at the hospital are over, and I can finally go home once dad comes. I have been staying here for one month already, and I can't wait to see my family and friends and outside of this flipping hospital!
"Hey Emma. Are you ready to go? Your father said he is on his way right now." Lisa was most definitely the best part of this one month, and I am hopefully going to keep in touch with her.
"Yeah, I'm ready." I stood up from my cot, and a few moments of silence, I finally said what has been on my mind for quite some time. "Thank you, Lisa. Thank you so much for everything. Taking care of me and spending time with me I am pretty sure that if you weren't my nurse, I wouldn't have been as sad to leave." I said hugging her.
"Thank you so much cupcake. I'm going to miss you. I will give you my number if you like." She said taking a note pad from her pocket.
"Yeah, sure. That would be great." Once she wrote her number down and gave it to me, I hugged her once more. And I have to say I did have a bit of tears.
The moment was broken when another nurse came in. "Um, David Nolan is waiting for you outside." She said and walked out.
"Bye Emma." She smiled as we walked out of my room (not anymore). She went the opposite way after she waved at me.
I walked over to where David and August were standing, who were looking the opposite way. I would've ran, but I am not that good at running at the moment.
"Hey dad. Hi August." They turned around and smiled ear to ear.
"Emma! You look great." David said hugging me.
"Thanks." I said a bit awkwardly, but still returning the hug.
"I'm so sorry I didn't visit you, but trust me, I did while you were in coma." He said hugging me as well.
"It's ok. Can we get out of this place before I faint from the horrible smell?" I said laughing.
Once we said thanks to the doctors, we finally went out, and I took in one long breath of fresh air. I sighed. Then I remembered that we are going to have to take a car to go back home. "Uh... dad?" I stopped walking, and so did they.
"Yes?"
"Are we taking the car? I don't think I am really ready to go back in." I said sheepishly. I sound like such a kid... Jesus.
David smiled and took my hands. "Emma, don't worry. I will be driving, and we are going to be extra careful. Don't worry." That seemed to calm me down a bit, and we went inside of dad's rental car. I was in the back, and David was driving, with August beside him.
While driving, August made sure to keep my attention to talking than to the road by asking me a whole bunch of questions. "So what did you eat there?" He said with his full attention to me.
"Um.. salad, sandwiches, Jell-o." I couldn't wait till we get back home so I could have some real homemade food.
I soon started to notice that we were driving to Granny's and not my house. "Why are we going to Granny's?" I asked.
David chuckled. "Just wait and see." What in the world are they up to?
Once we arrived at Granny's I noticed the decorations. I gasped and I had tears threatening to spill. How do things like this make me so emotional?
We walked in, and everyone screamed SURPRISE! There was everyone, even the dwarfs! I covered my mouth and those tears started to spill out. "Oh my god." Everyone started to come up to me and hug me. "Emma, we missed you so much!" Mom said with her own small tears.
Killian's turn was last and hugged me. We have a lot of hugs, but every single one we have in always full of emotions and is really meaningful. He looked at me and kissed me with every bit of strength he had. This was the first real kiss we had since the day of the accident. We were stuck in our own moment until I hear a camera take a picture of us. We immediately parted and I knew I was obviously as red as a tomato. And so was he.
"Was taking a picture necessary mom?" I chuckled.
We had food, (real food) and drinks, and I got tons of presents which I don't even need. It was Killian's turn to give me something, and he looked nervous. Actually, really nervous. Was he... sweating?! He came up to me, and everyone went silent. "Emma. The day we met, I knew we were meant for each other, and I am sure you did to, so that is why you pushed me away. You were afraid. We have come so far from then, and now look at us." He said smiling. "I have loved you ever since I laid eyes on you, and I will love you until I die, even after if possible!" He said laughing nervously. I covered my mouth, because I understood what was about to come.
He knelt down on one knee, and took out a very pretty box. "Emma Swan. Would you give me the honor of becoming your husband?" He opened the box and revealed a gorgeous ring that had one blue diamond and one green.
I was crying so hard, and smiling so big my cheeks started to hurt. I nodded vigorously. "Yes! Yes of course!"
He grinned a toothy grin and put the ring on my finger. Snow took another picture with a huge smile on her face, and even David had watery eyes! Everybody started to clap, and cheer as we kissed. Which was a bit hard because I was smiling.
He put his forehead on mine. "I missed you so much Emma."
