Broken

Chapter 11: Meeting

Killian and Emma have been living together for a week now. It's going very well. Killian wakes up to Emma shaking him.

"Killian Killian"

"What love"

He looks at her with so much love. She's so beautiful with her hair messed up and the morning sun shining on her face. She has the biggest smile and he could stare at her eyes for ages.

"My boss just called me" Emma says

"That's why you're waking me up"

She slaps his bare chest playfully. He pulls her on top of him hugging her close

"You and Liam are meeting your father today"

He stares directly into her eyes

"Really love. Well what about all the possible concerns you had"

"Well we have a new theory now"

"Alright love, I'll go call Liam! What time shall I tell him"

"10"

"Okay"

Killian rolls out of bed and grabs his phone. He walks into the living room and calls Liam. Emma gets out of bed and fixes the sheets. She brushes out her hair and gets ready for the day. Killian comes back in the bedroom

"Alright luv he'll be there. Does my father know we're coming?"

"No he doesn't know"

"Why not"

"We think he may be withholding information"

"Sorry love but I don't quite understand"

"We think that maybe your dad did something to Mr. Conklin because his motive doesn't really seem that......well let's just say he doesn't have much of a motive"

"So then how do Liam and I play into that situation"

"We think he may tell you something that he wouldn't tell me or Mr. Humbert"

"Really, so you're using me"

"Well it sounds bad when you put it like that. We are just trying to get the truth and he'd probably most likely tell the truth to the sons he's been longing to see for over 30 years."

"Alright I understand. Will you be in there with us"

"Um no I don't have to be. We just need you to record the conversation"

"No Emma I want you there"

"You and Liam should have this moment with your dad"

"Emma I need you there"

A tear slips down his cheek. She comes over to him and holds his waist wiping the tear away with her thumb

"Hey hey what's wrong"

"I've waited for this my entire life. You are the only other person who understands me Emma, I can't do this without you"

"You have Liam, he understands what it's like"

"Not as much as me. Liam was the perfect kid, everyone loved him and hated me. I was the screwup, the reason my mom died"

"Hey it's not your fault you know that right"

"I do know, but all that time no one but my brother ever cared about me. You're one of the only people"

"You're the first person to truly and honestly care about me too."

He hugs her tightly smelling the fruity sent of her hair. He loves the way she smells, the way she bites her lip when she's nervous, the way she blushes when he compliments her. He completely and honestly loves her. Emma pulls back and looks at him
