Unfortunately for him, not everything goes quite according to plan, but his wife is more than equal to the task. Pillow Talk-verse oneshot based on "Virtuosic" ch. Can be read as a standalone but benefits from proper context. An Upright Man reviews The psalmist wrote that the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, but Georg von Trapp has never been a good man.

Just a Christmas vignette that I wrote for my mother- It's out of season, but do review!

Killian, you're practically family already. You are more than welcome. Killian was pleased to hear the old woman calling him by the name Ruby had chosen for him, even though it was a sad reminder that her Granddaughter was off searching for her pack in the Enchanted Forest.

Killian raised an eyebrow. By the time Killian made it back to the room, Emma had wrapped three presents.

They looked festive but not nearly as neat as his. That truly didn't surprise him based on his knowledge of Emma. They settled down sitting against the couch, Killian's left arm around her shoulders, munching on their meal while they watched the only Christmas movie Emma found on the TV that she wanted to see: She figured he'd have an easier time understanding it since he knew New York and he could maybe even identify with Will Ferrell's character a bit, being in a strange city after coming from a magical land. No real man should be caught dead in footwear like that.

Perhaps a Genie, but never a man. She elbowed him in the ribs playfully. He held up a hand. Does he not realize he is much taller than all of those folks? They are even shorter than the dwarves. The next day, Killian dressed himself in his nicest waistcoat and pants, put on his leather jacket, and headed for the loft, his presents and overnight supplies in tow. Emma had requested that he stop there first and go over to Regina's with them. Privately, he thought she didn't want to run the risk of Regina and Killian being there alone. While they still were not friends, per say, Killian felt like he and her Majesty had buried the hatchet and were at least friendly to each other.

Besides, neither would ever make a scene in front of Henry. He knocked on the door and David answered, wearing a nice green sweater and slacks. The Prince looked nicer than Killian had ever seen him look in this world, Dave usually stuck to a more casual look. Killian nodded and set his bag and the present bag next to the sofa. He reached in the present bag and pulled out a small box and two larger ones. The rest of her presents are under our bed. She can't help it, she's horrible about shaking them to try and find out what's inside. Her mother is not as fond of it.

Reward Yourself

Emma was just putting her earrings in when Killian made his way upstairs. Emma bit her lip and turned around to look at him, embarrassed and flattered all at once. She really did look lovely, in her pretty red sweater and black skirt, and her black tights and boots made her legs look like they went on for days. Killian stood behind her and wrapped his arms around her. Christmas is a time to celebrate family. So…our family is a little…weird.

We'll come back here and watch a movie or hang out as a family. Tomorrow, Mary Margaret will make huge breakfast, and we'll spend the day just being a family. Dad and I have the Sheriff's office line forwarded to our phones so we won't have to be there at all unless something happens. Killian was no longer listening, he was completely focused on placing feather-light kisses on her neck. Emma trailed off, enjoying the feelings.

Dinner at Regina's was festive and fun. The former Evil Queen had channeled her inner Martha Stewart and made a delicious feast, decorated the house in miles of garland and lights, and seemed determined to be festive. It appeared that Christmas had given Regina something to focus on other than her loss, so it was good to see her actually smiling and laughing. The former pirate shot Henry and Regina a look - he had not finished with that line of questioning, but dutifully followed Emma down the hall so they were out of sight.

Emma bit her lip. If you happen to get caught standing underneath it with another person, you're supposed to kiss. Here is a tradition I can definitely get on board with! Killian thought and captured her lips in a deep kiss. After a merry evening at Regina's, which involved a bit more of the mistletoe, they said goodbye to Henry and Regina and headed back to the loft.

Pillow Talk: Other Editions

Mary Margaret made her way in first, and handed a small bag to each of them as they walked in. Killian didn't really know what to say, he had a bad feeling about what was in the small gift bag. He was even granted the first use of the bathroom to change while the others dressed in their own rooms or behind the privacy screen that they had finally installed. Killian marveled at the thoughtfulness of whoever purchased the pajamas as he pulled out a v-neck black shirt and soft black hooded jacket, which he had learned was called a "hoodie".

It had even been altered to fit over his brace and hook. Then he pulled out the pants. Killian had to admit, the fabric was quite soft. But they were bright red with little snowmen all over them. The pants were, at least, easy to put on and comfortable. Can't be that bad? I'm Captain bloody Hook for Merlin's sake! I can't wear this ridiculous attire! The minute Killian emerged from the bathroom, Mary Margaret, clad in white pajamas with small red birds perched on small green plants all over them, snapped a photo.

David wore a grey t-shirt and green pants with the same red birds as his wife. Emma had on blue pajamas with snowmen all over them as well. Killian had to swallow some choice words - that photo better never see the light of day. But if he ever saw her again, the ice queen would be getting a piece of his mind and then some for this little stunt. Killian soon forgot his irritation as they had hot chocolate with cinnamon for the ladies and rum for the gentlemen , listened to David read a Christmas poem, and played a very interesting game of poker.

He and Emma dominated the card game, Emma calling every bluff, except Killian's, and his quick mind, used to calculating headings by the stars, calculating possibilities and pushing the bets higher. By the time everyone began heading to bed, Killian had mostly forgotten about his attire and was enjoying the festivities.

Enjoying being part of a family. Killian could hear Mary Margaret's soft admonishment of "David" before the pair slipped behind the privacy screen. What'd you really think of the pajamas? But not my question.

Would you have…would you really not have done the same to me? You know, leaving you on the beanstalk? No, I would not have left you. If it suited my interests better? I liked you from the start, Emma. You didn't fall for anything and once I saw your determination, I was pretty sure you wouldn't fail. I would have gone with you all and left Cora behind in a heartbeat.

Your gut was right about me in that instance. I can tell you right now that I would have turned on you the moment it suited me better to do so. Well, maybe not you personally, but the rest of them. As messy as my rather long history is, it led me here. Killian smiled and launched into the happier stories from his childhood and young adulthood, leaving out the stories about his father abandoning them and his mother dying. They weren't - he wasn't - ready for those stories just yet. Morning came much too soon for Killian, but the smell of coffee and David singing Christmas carols had him up just after seven.

David didn't say a word, just handed him a cup of coffee while he continued to bounce his son and sing to him. Sorry to wake you, but Neal keeps his schedule even when we don't. If we are ever forced back to the Enchanted Forest, I'm taking a bloody shipload of this stuff, Dave's teasing be damned. Maybe a little before. And I think half of his are from Emma. Killian beamed up at the blonde beauty making her way down the stairs. She'd brushed her hair back into a pony tail and put on some warm looking shoes that seemed to be made of the same cloth as some of the sweaters the people of this world wore.

It's tricky here because myths are sometimes real. Henry knows Santa, the Santa who comes down the chimney and leaves presents, isn't real. But he does believe that Santa and what he stands for is real. We'll be doing Santa for the next 15 years for Neal. Ah, so you see us still being together in 15 years? Good to know, Swan. Killian raised an eyebrow but didn't voice the question. And if they do, their parents give them presents claiming that they came from Santa? But I've always thought Santa was more about hope.

I had just run away from a great family. And all I wanted was a real Christmas. Well, about two weeks into December, I landed in Ingrid's group home. And we had a real tree and decorations and presents. Not many, you know, because there were a lot of us, but presents. And dinner and carols and Christmas. Delivering presents to individual children, maybe he delivers good will and hope. Killian pulled her close. About ten minutes later, after Emma and Killian had finished setting the table, Regina and Henry arrived. Inside was a very nice pair of black silk pajamas with Regina's royal emblem embroidered on it in red.

Henry's were black with little snowmen on them and a plain white shirt. Then there was coffee and hot chocolate, whipped cream and cinnamon.
