My first OUAT story... I hope you like it. It's just a short, fluffy one-shot.
It happens eight years later, and everyone is safe and sound in Storybrook. I'm a huge CS fan, and this is how I imagined a child of them would be like.
Hope to write more OUAT fics! Oh, and for the record... english is not my first language, it's spanish, so if you see any mistakes, feel free to point them out to me, so I don't make them next time.
"Daddy, did you kill Ariel's mom?" The seven year old said, lifting up her gaze from her tablet, and making everyone freeze at their seats.
Killian Jones looked at his daughter; shock express on his face, his mouth opening and closing, and not a sound coming out from it. It was his mother-in-law, Snow-White, who finally made a sound after spilling all the coffee out of her mouth.
"I'm sorry, honey, what did you say?"She asked her granddaughter, trying to sound normal and calm.
Katie's gaze looked at her family, not quite understanding why everyone was in such a shock.
Her grandpa David had frozen at her words, and was now switching his eyes from her to her daddy. Her older brother, Henry, was trying to contain a laugh; and her brother's-other-mother, Auntie Regina, had plop her head between her arms at the table.
"I asked daddy if he killed Ariel's mom!"Katie said again, getting a bit upset. Why did everyone treat her like that? She took the tablet she had been holding in her arms, and turned it so that she could show the grown-ups on the table the electronic device, "In here it says that Capitan Hook killed The Little Mermaid's mom. And Untie Ariel is The Little Mermaid!" She finished, as everyone saw what the toddler in the house was looking at moments ago.
It was one of those pages that read "The theories about Disney stories"
"Oh, and what is a "theory"?" She asked, making a funny face, her golden hair swinging in the air.
Regina lifted her face from her arms for the first time since Katie spoke up.
"Swan, did we not tell you to not let her look on those web pages?" She asked, trying to sound annoyed, but actually having fun that it wasn't her the one under the line of fire this time.
Emma stood up and hurried to her daughter's side, taking the tablet out of her tiny hands.
"A theory is something that people think, but that can or cannot be true" She explained to the little girl, "And that is certainly not true" She finished, but then a thought crossed her face, and she turned to look at the man who share those piercing blue eyes with her daughter, "Right?" She asked.
Killian's eyes went wide open at his wife's hesitation.
"Of course it isn't true!" He exclaimed, and then turned to see everyone in the table looking at him, asking the same question silently, "It isn't!" He insisted, "I never killed a mermaid… not at least that I can think of"
It wasn't the first time that Katie grabbed on the tablet that Henry had given her for Christmas two years ago, googled one of their names, and their story (Disney version) popped up for her.
The first time, she had googled "Snow-White" and it took them three months to convince her that her grandmother didn't own the dress shown on the picture.
At last, the only way Emma and Killian could solve their daughter's insistence – and tears, after Snow-White herself told her she never had a dress like that one – was buying a fantasy Snow-White dress for her, in the closest toy-shop.
It was no longer after that when she discovered that "Auntie Regie" was the Evil Queen, and "Auntie Zele" was the Wicked Witch of the West.
But Emma and Killian could have never guessed their daughter's reaction to finding that out.
Instead of being afraid, she had insisted on spending more time with them, asking Zelena several times to teach her how to fly a broom, and begged Regina to let her look inside her magic mirror.
Both sisters told the pirate's daughter that they couldn't do that, as she could not learn to fly on a broom, and as there was no "magic mirror" in Storybrook.
Again, it all ended up when Killian took out his wallet and bought the blond-hair-girl a fake magic mirror and normal broom that they painted like the one Zelena used to have.
She was, after all, a pirate's daughter, and she always got what she wanted.
The thing was that for Katherine Jones, there was no Realm in which all these people that knew, cherished and loved her would ever be able to harm her.
She knew her daddy and aunties and other people in this place had done very bad things. But she also knew that they had found a way back to the people they used to be.
Like his daddy, who had abandoned his quarell on her brother's grandpa to love and protect her mommy.
Or her aunties Regie and Zele, who had chosen good over evil to protect the people they loved.
Even her grandpas had done bad things, and they were supposed to be the heroes!
So, for her, all the things that they had done could stay in the past. But she wanted to know all of them! And she wanted to be just like her mommy, and be able to do magic. And she also wanted to be just like her daddy, and sail to different realms and have lots of adventures!
It's not necessary to say that after she found out her father was Capitan Hook, they couldn't take her out of her pirate attire for months
"Okay, this has been enough for you, little bean" Emma told her daughter, taking her unfinished, cold hot chocolate and marshmallows out of her hands, "Go to your room, you have homework to finish for tomorrow"
Katie's face could have been the one of an actress.
"Meee?" The little one said, "But mommy! Henry is here just until the afternoon! Then he goes back to collage!" She protested.
"Well, more reasons to go up and finish your homework" Her brother told her, "So we can go to the playground before I go, and we can play together and imagine stories!" With that, her whole face lighted up, her deep blue eyes thrilling with emotion. After her daddy, the second best story-teller was her older brother.
"Come on, let's go" Emma hurried her youngest child, "You don't imagine how embarrassing is when your own child doesn't have her homework done, when your mom is the principal" She said
Snow rolled her eyes, remembering that one, awkward time when she had to summon up her own daughter and son-in-law at school because Katie wasn't doing things properly at school.
"Well, okay" Katie agreed with her mom, "BUT I WANNA GO TO DISNEYLAND!" She yelled at them while going to her bedroom.
When I started this, I only thought of this story... but now I have tons of them. Little, hilarious moments of Hook, Emma, their daughter and the rest of them. So maybe I'll start updating them here, as short one-shots!
In any case, I hoped to liked and enjoyed it as much as I did writing it at work! haha.
Cheers!
