CS January Joy, Day 17: The One With Emma & Killian’s Fancy Party

The One With Emma & Killian’s Fancy Party                                              AO3

Emma did not like many things.  In fact, she hated most things. Being abandoned on the side of the road in the middle of October in Maine a few weeks after birth by one’s parents will do that.

She hadn’t always been that way.  When Emma was 17, she’d run from her last group home and found him.  Neal was everything to her and the first person to show her what she thought was love.  Then he’d left her, like her parents.  He left her pregnant and holding stolen merchandise.  Then, a few months into her 11-month sentence, Emma lost her baby.  Her anger for Neal grew to insurmountable heights.

So when she met Killian Jones and his weirdly overactive eyebrows, Emma told him (and herself) that she was not going to fall for his charms.

How wrong she was.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Try as she did, Emma failed, and after a year, they moved in together and for a while, all Emma could do was wait. Wait for him to realize she was too much work and leave. Wait for him to realize her insecurities would really never go away and leave because of that too.  

But he never did.  And a year after they moved in together, Emma finally realized that when Killian said he was in it for the long haul, he meant it.

~*~*~*~*~*~

“Emma, love!  Have you seen my favorite tie?” Killian called from their bedroom.

“I swear Killian…”  Emma came in and went to the closet, digging in the far corner.  After finding her quarry, she turned in triumph and tossed him a navy tie with white and red anchors all over it.  “If you head wasn’t attached to your neck, you’d probably lose track of that too.”

“Aye, but you love me anyways.”

“Maybe”, she replied with a wink as she headed back to her office.

“Are you going back to hide away and work on my birthday present?”  

“Maybe”, Emma said again.

“Alright then, keep your secrets.  I am off to heal the young children of Storybrooke.  I’ll see you tonight my love.”  Killian turned to leave, but Emma stopped him.

“Aren’t you forgetting something?” she asked, crooking her finger at him.  Killian laughed and leaned on her desk.  Emma reached up and grabbed his tie, pulling him down for a kiss.  “I love you, Killian.”

“I love you too, my Swan.”  He gave her another quick peck and left.  Emma smiled as she watched Killian walked away, feeling so proud of him.  

When she and Killian had met, he had been working at Storybrooke General Hospital as a member of the pediatrics department and were set up (oh so shadily, Emma liked to say) by the Sheriff’s wife.  Mary Margaret Nolan wanted everyone to be happy and in love, just like her and David.  

Emma shook her head of the wonderful memories of her time with Killian and turned back to her computer, opening the manuscript for The Savior and The Privateer.  The series, which was set in a land called the Enchanted Forest where fairytales were real, followed the adventures of The Savior, who was on a quest to break a curse cast by an evil witch that had plagued her home for many years. 

~*~*~*~*~*~

A couple of days into the new year, Emma surprised Killian with dinner.

“This is wonderful darling!  Thank you!”  He leaned over the table and gave her a kiss.  “However, my birthday isn’t for another few weeks…”

“I know, but I did something special for your birthday this year”, Emma replied.

“Can I see it?  Please love!”

“No!”  Emma laughed at his childlike enthusiasm when it came to things like presents.  “You have to wait until after dinner.”

“Swaaaan…”

“No.  Eat first, presents later.”

They chatted throughout their meal and Emma couldn’t help but laugh when she noticed that Killian ate more quickly than he usually did.  When finished, to mess with him, Emma had Killian do the clean-up.

“I’m done!  How about now love?”

“Okay.”  Emma had him take a seat on the couch and close his eyes.  “No peeking!”

Killian’s eye popped open when she dropped the box in hands and he immediately ripped the paper and box top off to reveal a stack of papers.  

“The Savior and the Privateer?  Emma, love, is this your latest novel?  You said you weren’t going to let me read it before everyone else!  It does seem--”

“It’s just the first chapter and I know.  But after thinking about it, I changed my mind.  I think I’d like to know what you think before my editor gets her hands on it.”

“Regina means well my love.  She just wants the best possible outcome for you.”

“I know, but that red ink she does her editing in...oof, I get why people like to call her the Evil Queen.”

“Wouldn’t it be the most humorous thing for those people to know she’s actually the absolute nicest?  And funny at that?”

“Very.”  Emma sighed.  “So!  Give the chapter a look.  Right now, the book is sitting at 15.  When you finish one chapter, I’ll give you the next.  Cool?”

“Very cool.”

~*~*~*~*~*~

A few days later…

Killian carried the manuscript for Emma’s novel in his briefcase in the days after she gave it to him.  He was anxious to get to reading it, but work was busy, and he hadn’t yet had a chance.  So, when the weekend rolled around, he poured himself some rum and sat down to read.

When he finished the first chapter, there was neon yellow sticky note on the last page and it held a loving message:

“I feel like everything in my life has led me to you.  My choices, my heartbreaks, my regrets. Everything.  And when we’re together, my past seems worth it.  Because if I had done one thing differently, I might never have met you. -Unknown”

A long time ago, I wasn’t good with words...I didn’t have the right ones.  So, I’m going to tell you how much I love you with other people’s words.  Like Big in the Sex & the City movie (which I know you hated watching with me, but hey...you love me).

I love you Killian Jones.

Killian smiled and peeled the sticky note from the last page and went to the office and stuck it on the wall.

“I see you finished the chapter.”  Killian found Emma leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed and a big smile on her face.  In that moment, he couldn’t not think of a time when he hadn’t loved her.  Try as she did to dissuade him from pursuing her, he wouldn’t.  Killian recognized the same sense of loss and loneliness in her that he carried with him.  Emma’s strength in the face of everything life threw at her was what made him love her even more.  She didn’t take his crap and she took no one’s crap, and she wouldn’t change for anyone, not even him.  He loved her just the way she was.

“I did, my love, and it was remarkable.”  Killian walked over and pulled her into his arms, laying a soft kiss on her head.

“Thanks for remarking on it.”  Emma leaned away with a sly smile.  “Do you want to read some more?”

“Yes!”  He watched as Emma went to her desk and unlocked a bottom drawer, pulled out Chapter 2 and handed it over to him.  Killian kissed Emma on the cheek.  “Thanks love. I’ll leave you to yourself, because I need to know what happens.”

“Have fun then.  I have to go take care of a few things.”  Killian looked up from his spot on the couch.  Something was off.  He could always tell when something wasn’t going right with his Swan.

“Is everything okay Emma?”

“Yeah!  Yeah.”  The fact that her voice went up several octaves did nothing to quell his thoughts.

“Emm-”

“Everything’s fine Killian.  With the way the flu is going around, I’m just worried.  You know I hate getting sick.  I’m just going to go to Dark Star Pharmacy for a flu shot.  So don’t worry about me.”

“I’ll always worry about you Emma.  I love you.”

“I love you too.  Enjoy your reading.”  Killian watched her as she left, knowing that there was something she wasn’t telling him.  He wouldn’t push, Emma would tell him when she was ready.

Killian was on the last couple of pages when his love returned.  Something had happened the hours she was gone because when she returned, Emma glowed as if she’d had a weight lifted off her shoulders.

“Hello love!  How was it?  Does your boo-boo need a kiss?” he asked cheekily.

“Tonight.”  She winked and took a seat next to him, kicking her now socked feet up onto the coffee table.  “So, what’d you think of this chapter?”

“Well, I’ve not finished yet.  Just some pages to go.”

“Finish up then!  I need to know.”

“Of course my darling.”

Killian went back to the page he was at and read on.  This time when he was done, there was a neon pink sticky note that read:

“You find somebody you like and roll the dice.  That’s all anybody can do.  -Ron Swanson”

You inspire me every single day Killian.  When I rolled the dice on you, I got a Nat 20.

Killian laughed to himself at Emma’s talk of dice.  No one would know his Swan was a diehard fan of Dungeons & Dragons fan.  He himself had never played, but started learning from Will Scarlett, a nurse at the hospital, so he could share in something she enjoyed.

“So, did you like it?” the woman in question asked from her spot at the end of the couch.

“Of course I did Emma.  Have you got the next one ready?”  She giggled, her entire face lighting up with happiness which, in turn, made Killian happy.

As her phone rang, Emma handed over chapter 3.

“Enjoy while I take this.”

“Thank you darling.”  He watched as Emma went into the office and shut the door. 

~*~*~*~*~*~

“I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair.  I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare.  I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind.  I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. I hate it, I hate the way you’re always right.  I hate it when you lie.  I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry.  I hate it when you’re not around, and the fact that you didn’t call.  But mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you.  Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all. -Katarina Stratford, 10 Things I Hate About You”

 Sometimes I felt like Kat did, because I saw so much of myself in her: angry at the world because of what some asshole did to me.  It’s why I was so mad at myself when I met you.  I was mad that you were so perfect for me. I was mad how good of a person you were.  I was mad that you were proving me wrong.  I was mad that you basically kicked down the walls around my heart like they were a flimsy door.

 ~*~*~*~*~*~

It went on like this for every chapter.  

For every chapter Killian finished, there were neon colored sticky notes at the end with quotes from some of Emma’s favorite movies or books or whatever, and little notes from her too.  Killian kept them all, adding each new note to his colorful collage.

~*~*~*~*~*~

The day before his birthday, Killian was in the kitchen when Emma found him.  He smiled at her over his favorite mug inscribed with LIKE A BOSS on the front, noticing she was hiding something behind her back.

“What have you got there Swan?”  

“Oh nothing.  Just the final chapter in the main story”, she said and pulled the stack of papers from behind her back.

“This is the last?”

“No, actually.”  Emma slid the chapter into Killian’s black leather briefcase and snapped it shut.  “There’s going to be an epilogue. But you aren’t getting it until tomorrow.  It’s your birthday present.”

“I thought the whole book was my birthday present?”  Killian rinsed his mug and slipped on his suit jacket, taking the briefcase from Emma.

“The epilogue is...special.”

“Uh huh.”  Killian gave her a deep kiss and pulled back to leave.  “Like I said before, keep your secrets.  I can’t wait to read this chapter.  See you tonight my love.”

~*~*~*~*~*~

“When did I fall so deeply under your spell, [Killian]?  I cannot fix the hour or the spot or the look or the words which lay the foundation.  I was in the middle before I knew it began. -Mr. Darcy, Pride & Prejudice & Zombies

“The very first moment I beheld you, my heart was irrevocably gone.  -Lizzie, PPZ”

Remember when I told you ‘I love you’ for the first time?  How you asked what was wrong because all of a sudden, in the middle of wrapping some birthday presents for David, I just drop the scissors on the floor and yelled ‘Fuck!’?  That moment.  That moment made me realize that I basically loved you from the beginning but I was all the way in before it had even hit me.  I love you Killian.

 Killian never meant to cry into his lunch, but he did.  And when he got home that night, he made sure to let Emma know how loved she was.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Emma was happy that Killian chose to work a half day on his birthday.  He met up with her, Mary Margaret, and David for lunch, but it grew to include Will, Robin and Regina, Tina and Jefferson, Ruby, Archie, and Belle, who had wanted to surprise Killian and rounded up his and Emma’s friends.

They spent the afternoon eating, laughing, and telling stories at Killian’s expense.  Emma hadn’t laughed that hard in a long time, and she was happy to see boyfriend happy.  The feeling of when the shoe might drop had gone away for good and she knew everything was going to be okay.

Later that night, when they returned home, Emma went straight to her file cabinet and pulled out the epilogue.  Killian hung his jacket on the rack near the door and went to pour himself some rum.

“Here.  I’m going to change into some PJs.  It’s pretty short, so you’ll probably be finished by the time I’m done.  Enjoy...and happy birthday.”

“Thank you love.”  Emma hurried (but not obviously, she hoped) back to their bedroom and dug around their closet, where she hid the ring she intended to propose with.

Emma took a deep breath, preparing herself for what she was about to do when she heard Killian’s footsteps heading towards the bedroom.  When she emerged from the closet, Killian was standing in the doorway, staring at her and holding the final Post-It plus something special.

“Did you like it?”  Emma took a seat at the end of their bed.  She looked down at the ring in her lap, worrying.  She knew he loved her but what if this was what he thought was too much.  It’s not something she ever would’ve predicted.

Killian knelt in front of her, sticking it to her knee.  Emma didn’t have to look down to know what it said: 

"I guess I kind of hate most things. But I never really seem to hate you. So I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Is that cool?  -April’s vows to Andy”

I know you think it should’ve been you to propose, but guess what old man?  It’s 2020 now.  ;-)

Don’t be sad you didn’t do it first.  Be happy instead.  Happy that we’re going to be a family.

I love you so much Killian. 

“Emma?  What is this?”  Killian handed her a small, grainy picture.  In it, what looked like a small kidney bean just floated in the middle.  “Is it what I’m hoping?”

Emma took the picture from him and wiped the tears she saw skipping down his cheeks.

“This”, she held up the picture, “...is your son...or your daughter.  I can honestly say that I don’t really have a preference.  How about you?”

“You’re pregnant?

“That’s what the picture means, yeah.”

“Is this why you went to see Whale?”

“Yup.”  He hadn’t shown any kind of reaction, positive or negative, and she was a little worried.  Kids weren’t something they had talked about.  Emma hadn’t known that she wanted to get married, much less have a kid, but now that she knew she was pregnant, she was already in love.

“How long?”  Killian was staring at her midsection.

“He said about six weeks.”  They were both quiet as Killian started to cry in earnest.

“This is the greatest birthday gift I’ve ever had.”

“You never answered me you know.”

“What?”

“I asked you to marry me and you never answered.”

“Isn’t it obvious Swan?”

~*~*~*~*~*~

Emma and Killian got married some months later.  They tied the knot at Village by the Sea in nearby Wells, Maine.  Emma in blushing pink ankle length gown that proudly showed off her five months’ pregnant belly and Killian in a dark navy suit with his favorite tie.  

Meera Alice Jones was born in early August on a beautiful Friday afternoon.  Bright blue eyes and tufts of dark hair, just like her father. Meera’s brother, however, was just like their mother.  Oliver David Jones came into the world 16 minutes after his sister, sharp green eyes and wisps of blonde.

There was always love in their family.  Were they a perfect family with no problems or arguments or anything like that?  No. Far from it. But the point is, even with those arguments and stress and everything else…they were happy, for as long as they lived.

Collide Chapter 7: No More Secrets and Lies

2162 words: sorry guys for the long post I have been unable to break it up because I’m using my iPad to post today. So here is the finale of Collide. I hope you have enjoyed this story and I thank everyone who has been reading for their positive response and feedback. I have really enjoyed this experience of writing. 💕 As always the characters are pixleberrys.

Summary: This storyline takes place after Tariq was not found and the MC name was never cleared. Liam has received news that Madeline who is Queen, has been involved in a car accident in America.

Liam felt a gentle hand on his shoulder, as he turned, he saw Olivia, standing there tears in her eyes. She too had heard it all. “Olivia you owe me some answers”

Olivia nodded “I’m so sorry” she replied

“How could you keep this from me?....lie to me?” Liam asked

“I did it FOR you” Olivia answers

“FOR ME!” FOR ME” Liam shouts

“Keep your bloody voice down “ Olivia barks “yes FOR you”

“And how do you work that one out?” He sarcastic tone asks

“Riley was so worried about your reign…. The American who cheated on the future King with a Nobel during the social season, she could see the press headlines, the questions “is King Liam the father of Lady Riley’s baby?.” The damage that it could do to your reputation if the public and press knew you were both having an affair during the engagement tour. Your reign was so new, in its infancy and this would ruin the monarchy no one would trust you…She kept saying she wouldn’t be responsible for the collapse of your reign.” Olivia explains “you know what…..? she was right.”

“Olivia how could you say that? I would never have married Madeline” Liam responds “I would sooner have abdicated if I’d known”

“Yes…she knew that and she know it would destroy the monarchy…two fickle kings….no sense of duty….giving up the throne for their own selfish needs….why would people want a royal family after that?” Olivia continues. “Yet despite that she tried to tell you…let you make that choice”

“So I’ve heard” Liam sighs referring to the audio conversation he heard on Riley’s phone.

“You can blame her….or me!......your wife was the one who used everyone as a pawn in her quest for power” Olivia continues “and shes paid the ultimate price for that power…..I know I hurt you and shook your trust….but…” failing to finish “can I show you something?”

Liam nods in response which causes Olivia to hold out a small wooden chest box she had been carrying.

“What’s this?” Liam asks

“Open it” Olivia replies

Liam opens the box. Inside is Kimmy’s name band from hospital, a lock of her hair, a pair of baby booties, scan pictures, photographs of Kimmy and Riley on the day of her birth, photographs of Kimmy’s christening, her first and second birthdays. Tears once again began to fill Liam’s eyes as her looked at the boxes contents. “What’s this?” Liam asks holding a pen drive.

“It’s Kimmy’s firsts” Olivia replies

“First?” Asks Liam

“First smiles, first roll over, first words, first steps…Riley would email them to me and I placed them on a pen drive for you…..you see Liam…I never wanted you to miss any of this….so I gathered as much as I could….made you a memory box” Olivia responds.

“Carol says your Kimmy’s god-mother….paid her medical bills….teaching her….the art of war….”Liam says with a raised eyebrow

“She’s going to be Queen one day, I have to prepare her, it’s my duty to do this” Olivia replies “besides the bills are irrelevant she’s the daughter of the King, my future Queen”

“Thank you….”Liam offers “I have to admit I can’t put all this behind me right now…but thank you for taking care of them when I couldn’t”

Olivia gives a respectful nod in reply.

“You think I could watch this?” Liam asks holding the pen drive

“You would need a computer, I have my laptop at the hotel, Riley may still have the emails on her phone however, maybe have a check? Replies Olivia “I’m sure Riley won’t mind.

Liam uses Riley’s thumb print to unlock her phone and accesses her email app.

“Ah Olivia…check this out.” Liam says to Olivia while holding Riley’s Phone “there an email to Ana here” Both Olivia and Liam look at one another and open the email. “You owe me this one! Do what you will with the pictures, however you all did not spare me such grace” as he read Liam clicked on the attachments and there were the pictures of Madeline and Tariq. “She was the one who sent the pictures to the press” Liam said to himself with a small smile” Liam wondered what Riley was planning to do with he audio file, but he could imagine the intent would be to destroy Madeline and Tariq they way they destroyed her.

Over the next few days, events moved swiftly. Riley remained unable to breathe on her own and was wasn’t yet able to come off the ventilator. But each day she was here with him….pulling though. Rileys eyes remained closed and she was still unresponsive to her surroundings or any painful stimulus…small steps Liam thought she’s still here with me.

Liam had started to spend time with Kimmy getting to know his little girl. He was realising just how much her personality was like her mums, strong willed and stubborn but capable of tremendous amounts of love.

The funeral was planned in a two days time, Adelaide and Maxwell had flown home with Madeline’s body. The press had been speculating if the betrayed King would attend the funeral of his cheating wife. Tariq statement had been released clearing Riley’s name. He was honest as least to say he was not aware of Lady Riley’s presence in the car. He and Queen Madeline were “good friends” and felt it was time for Tariq to come home and be honest regarding their relationship .

Some “unofficial sources” had been revealing to the press how devious Madeline had been and the games she played destroying life along the way, although they did not publish all the negative stories about Madeline….not yet anyway…. But some questions were being asked about Madeline and Tariq relationship. The surrounding media speculation allowed comments regarding Riley to be favourable in the press, she was being promoted as a young lady so cruelly wronged losing the chance to marry the love of her life, who himself had been betrayed.

“Bastien we’ll have the jet ready for tomorrow morning head back to Cordonia.”Liam stated still at Riley’s bedside,

“Yes Sir” Replied Bastien

“Have the plane refuelled and a new crew for the return flight” Liam continues

“Return flight?” Bastien asks

“Yes, I’m coming straight back after the funeral” Replies Liam

“Sir that would look….” Bastien Replies but swiftly cut off by Liam

“I don’t care how it looks….I’ve had enough of the secrets and lies….time for the truth” Liam thoughtfully responds. “In fact….Bastien have Ana de Luca on the flight back to the states, don’t tell her why”

“That’s easy enough Sir, why do you want Ana here?” Bastien asks

“Riley trusted her enough with those photographs….I want someone sympathetic…someone Riley trusted to tell the world about Kimmy” Liam answers

“Sir is that a good idea?” Bastien warns

“Bastien…no more…no more secrets…no more lies….I’m done…my daughter….mines and Riley’s is the next Cordonian Queen..she will be treated as such….”continues Liam. “Besides I’ve spoken with Carol she agrees that Riley would want the secrets to be over….the cost of them has been to great…and cost Cordonia one Queen….I won’t let it cost another”

“Sir….behind you” Bastien responds to Riley lying on the bed.

As Liam turned her eyes were open fixed ahead. “Riley….Riley…Thank god” he called. However Riley did not respond and continued straight ahead. “Bastien get Dr Evans quickly” Liam cried. Bastien left the room and returned to see Riley’s eyes closed again. “I swear she opened her eyes” Liam pleaded. “That’s a normal response and a good sign…however remember her brain is very tired…her eyes may show she has woken up but she is not awake…that will take time to focus.” Dr Evans responded.

Dr Evans carried out some checks on Riley, she responded to painful stimulus…another good sign. Liam called Carol to come to the hospital , Informing her the progress Riley made. “Olivia can watch Kimmy” he suggested. Pretty soon Carol rushed into the room sitting at her daughters bedside. “Riley I’m here sweetheart” her mum called. Liam informed Carol of his travel details but she was to contact him with any changes. Olivia was staying in America with Thomas and Drake, share the watch duty with Carol and help watch Kimmy.

The next day Liam left for Cordonia, the press every ready with their questions at the airport “why didn’t you fly back with your wife” the journalist shouted. Liam ignoring the questions “always one he thought” and he continued walking ahead.

The funeral was a tense experience. Adelaide and Liam side by side with Regina throughout. Adelaide was angry news was slowly coming out through the press about her daughter scheming exploits….her name was being tarnished…all because of that American. By now Liam was done with the secrets and lies, he informed Regina and Adelaide of the whole story of Madeline’s schemes, the lies regarding knowing where Tariq was all along, the affair to keep him quiet, hiding Riley’s pregnancy. Just as Liam was continuing to tell the story, Adelaide flew into a furious rage and refused to believe it “Your doing this on purpose, to get with that American, Your ruining Madeline’s name, she would never”

“Oh really?” Replied Liam.

With that Liam brought out his phone, he had emailed himself a copy of the original audio file Riley took-but he had edited the recording so at the point of the accident it was not copied for others to hear….no one needed to hear that. The authorities had a copy of that section for their investigation just not Madeline’s conversation….a tale of two half’s Liam thought…with him and Olivia one ever hearing the whole thing. Liam apologised as Madeline’s over confident voice echoed around the room. what’s so funny?” Tariq asks.

“That stupid American and her child” Madeline scoffs

“What?” Tariq asks

“Lady Olivia got a call from her credit card company regarding the NY Presbyterian hospital” Madeline laughs

“When…what are you talking about” Tariq asked confused

“When…three years ago…do keep up…” Madeline huffs…..the audio continues….Madeline…you mean to tell me Liam has a child…somewhere and you knew” Tariq voice asks…

As the recording ended Adelaide stood frozen….”I had no idea…no idea…what will you do?”

“I’m going to start telling the truth…someone has too. I’m going to introduce Kimmy to the world and I am gong to give Anna de Luca a copy of this audio…she’ll be sympathetic get the story out gently” Liam replies. “I think the monarchy is stable enough to get through this than it was three years ago….a scandal yes but the monarchy will recover”

Liam flew back to America as soon as he possibly could, Liam discussing the reason for Ana’s journey on the flight over and the reason for his trust. Ana was shocked to hear about Kimberly and the extent of Madeline devious power plot, but she was secretly pleased above all others she was the one to get the story. The plan was a photo shoot with Kimmy and Riley’s mum, and Olivia her god mother, with a sympathetic press statement introducing Kimberly to the world. Ana has in her possession her audio recording and she would use it, if there was negativity regarding Riley, Kimmy or the affair leading to her conception. The story was to be introduced as a love story, which was plotted against denying this family of each other….a modern day romance. There wasn’t a way for Madeline’s reputation to be saved but the damage could be limited….if possible.

Over the few days Riley continued to make progress, she was off the ventilator but at times she would be confused and pulling out her IVs and at times needed some extra sedation depending how confused she got for her own safety.

Ana de Luca had introduced Kimmy to the world and largely positive response from the press, Ana was a respected journalist and if she placed a positive spin others were sure to follow. The Cordonian people were quite responsive to Kimmy, and were happy that their king would be truly happy with someone who would love him and not betray him like Madeline had. A month after the accident Riley turned her head with purpose and focus for the first time since waking up….she could see Liam talking with her mum…she smiled….”hello Your majesty” Riley called

“Oh my god Riley” Liam says kissing her deeply.

“So what did I miss?” Riley asks

Liam laughs…”our daughter she’s missing you terribly”

“Oh Liam I’m so sorry…I never meant to hurt you…I had to…” Riley replies slightly panicked

“Shh shh it’s okay….it’s okay I know it all…I know…she’s incredible” Liam says with tears in his eyes“

“Olivia?....” Riley asks

“yes I know that too, she’s with Kimmy just now…were good…Madeline….the schemes…Tariq…..Kimmy….it’s all out in the open …everyone knows….no more secrets and lies.” Liam replies. “However those stories can wait for another time but I do have one important question I need you to answer”

“What’s that?” Riley replies

“Marry me?” Liam asks
