They had left our world for theirs, everyone except Emma and her son. They were still in ours but had no memories of their past, of who they actually were.

The only person that didn't feel at his place after coming back to the Enchanted Forest was Hook. He needed his Swan back. He didn't know how to live without her, how to be a hero and not a villain. If she wasn't around he couldn't see the difference between these two categories. So he decided to leave and try to find a way to go back.

~present time in the Enchanted Forest~

"Has any of you seen Hook?" Charming asked.

"I haven't seen him since we got here." Snow responded to her husband.

They were worried that since Emma was gone, the pirate would go back to his old habits. Becoming evil.

Regina came to talk to them.

"So, Guyliner left." She said. "He's foolish enough to think that he'll find his way back to Emma and Henry."

"Wait, how do you know that?" Snow asked.

"He came to me before he left. He wanted a forgetting potion." The Queen said innocently.

"For what?" Charming asked. "Did he want to forget Emma?"

"Quite the opposite actually. He wanted me to make him forget everything else but Emma."

"Why?" Snow asked.

"I have no idea." Regina told her step-daughter.

~at the same time on the Jolly Roger~

Hook was alone, he had left his crew at the tavern. He didn't want to be in company of some random lady, he wanted Emma. She was the one and he knew it. He didn't knew how to get to her but he would figure it out, even if it took him a lifetime to do so.

He sailed his boat and went on his adventure.

"I'll find you Swan." He said to himself.

~one week later~

He was standing inside this little house that has been his from the time he spent to help Cora. He had left there one precious thing, a bean. Something he had found before they had met. The one thing that could take him back to his love.

He throw it to the ground. But nothing happened. No portal was created. He tried again. Like last time, nothing happened.

"Why aren't you bloody working?" He asked to himself.

He went outside, to throw the bean away. He gave one last look to his last hope. Throwing away the last thing that could bring him to Emma.

That's when the portal opened up. He ran as fast as he could do be able to go trough it.

When he was sent to an other land, he only thought about one thing. A word. Her name.

Emma

~same time in the Enchanted Forest~

"We need to find him." Charming told his wife. "If he thinks he can go back to her he's a fool."

"Exactly what I said." Regina told the two lovebirds.

"David, we have to let him be. He lost himself and he's trying to find who he is without her." Snow White said.

"By doing everything to find her?!" Charming almost yelled. "He's not trying to find who he is, he's trying to find her. He's going to end up dead. He's gonna mess with the wrong people and they'll kill him."

"If it's what he wants, let him be. We cannot stop him. If that's what he needs to heal, we have to let him do it." She said, trying to calm down her husband.

"I'm only going to say this one, but I think she's right." Regina said.

Husband and wife flinch, hearing her voice. Since the last time she spoke, the couple had forgot she was there.

"You know what, you're right." Charming told the women. "We will let him to as he wants. But if anything happens to him, you'll know I was right."

"Hopefully, nothing will. And we will find our way back to Emma and Henry." Snow said, trying to persuade them and herself.

~a year later~

David walked to the door. 6a he read. He knocked on the door.

He was there, waiting for his daughter to open the door. He couldn't wait, even if Emma would probably not recognize him. He heard footsteps coming closer. And the door opened.

And there he was. Hook. Right there in front of him. David didn't expected this. He thought Hook died.

"David?" Killian asked the man.

"What...?" David said, surprised.

They heard other footsteps coming closer to them.

"Honey, who's there?" A woman said.

David took a look behind the man in front of him. And there she was, his beautiful daughter. She came closer to them and David could clearly see her baby bump. And on the hand that was resting on it, one engagement ring and a wedding band.
