I do not own Once Upon a Time.

It's almost wedding time! Simple and heart felt conversation between two men to start the day.


Neal Cassidy stood on the docks the morning of his wedding. He just looked at the boats and the moving water, lost in his own thoughts. He was finally marrying the woman of his dreams. But there was another woman on his mind.

His mother. Milah.

He was so young when she left, ran off with Killian. He never saw her again. According to Killian, she had planned on returning to get him, but Rumpelstiltskin caught up with her before she had the chance. Not that it would have done anything for her. Neal was already in another world by then.

Would he have gone? That was the million-dollar question. But one thing he knew for sure, he wouldn't have been the same man.

He heard heavy footsteps behind him and he knew exactly who was there.

"Do you think my mother would have liked her?" Neal asked Killian.

Killian paused. Would Milah have liked Amelia? They were both very strong willed women but they held different standards. Amelia put family first while Milah chose her happiness over her own family.

But they were also very similar, they made hard choices and lived with the outcome.

"I think Milah would have seen the caring and supportive woman that Amelia is. Amelia would have been her charming self." Kilian answered.

"Charming self…" Neal had to laugh. Amelia was rarely charming when she first met anyone. She was honest and blunt. But that was one of the things he loved about her. "Do you think they would have gotten along?"

"They would fake it, for your sake. I would have hidden the knives quite honestly though. But the bottom line is, Milah loved you and would have been very proud of the hero you became. She would just want you to be happy."

"Thanks Killian." Neal said.

"Anytime. Now, you have a wedding to get to. It's supposed to be the happiest day of your life."


Do you think Milah would have liked Amelia and the other way around?
