Chapter 1:

Killian was sitting alone in his newly bought apartment in Storybrooke, looking the picture in his hand. The picture was of his family. Killian was standing with his arm around a tall, slim man who was holding a small baby in his arms. Gently, the captain raised his hooked arm and stroked the man's face on the picture.

"I'll find you love, I swear that I will" he whispered as he stood up, grabbed his coat and walked out.

Ever since Jefferson had been reunited with his daughter, he had become a much happier and more open person who always smiled and talked to people. Jefferson had become good friends with a very large number of people in Storybrooke, there among Emma Swann and her family. This was mainly because Grace and Henry had started playing together.

In the beginning, he would just stand quietly at the door as Grace said good bye, thinking that the happy family hated him for all that he had done to them, he wouldn't blame them if they did but even if thing had been a little tensed between them at first, they had now become quite close friends, often spending time together as the children played.

Jefferson was now sitting in their living room with David and Snow while Grace was up in Henry's room playing.

"So Jefferson, how are things? Regina hasn't been bothering you, has she?" David said in a serious voice as he finished his coffee.

"No she hasn't, but thank you for the concern" the hatter answered, giving the prince a soft smile. He was actually quite touched that David seemed to be concerned about him and his daughter. It was a strange feeling, but nice.

"Jefferson, we do care about you and we understand why you did the thing you did during the curse." Snow said and gently laid her hand on her arm. He lifted his eyes and gave her a small smile.

"I know and I am grateful" he took a final sip of his tea and stood up.

"I think we'd better get going. Grace and Henry has school tomorrow and you have work"

David walked over to the door as the children came running down the stairs. Grace launched at her dad laughing while Henry was busy dragging Emma with him to say goodbye.

"Well it was very nice of you to invite us" Jefferson said and took Grace's hand.

"Bye Emma, Snow, David, Henry" the young girl called and waved as they walked out the door towards their car.

The ride home consisted of Grace telling her father about the things she and Henry had done during the evening. Jefferson was glad that his daughter had found such a nice friend. He used to tell her that as long as you have friends, then you'll never be alone. The last thing he wanted her to feel was alone, like he felt every day during the curse and during his time in Wonderland.

It didn't take long before they reached the large home where the two now lived together. Grace ran towards the door, her stuffed rabbit in one hand and her bag pack in the other, Jefferson followed behind her, neither one of them noticing the shadow behind them. Just as he was about to close the door, he heard something which caused the hatter to freeze. Taking a sturdy step outside, he called "Hello? How's out there?" but didn't receive an answer.

"Daddy?" The soft voice of his daughter brought him back to the present. Grace was standing in the doorway with a worried look on her face.

"Is something wrong?" she asked as her father came back inside and closed the door behind him. He looked down at her and scooped her up.

"No sweetheart, nothing. Daddy just thought he heard something" To tired to argue, she yawned and laid her head on the hatter's shoulder.

Jefferson chuckled and carried his daughter upstairs and tucked her into her bed. He sat there for several minutes, making sure that she was asleep before carefully leaving the room. Just as he was about the close the door, he heard a quiet "Night daddy". Jefferson smiled at this, quietly making his way to the large living room where he slumped down in one of the armchairs. Glancing over to a picture of him and Grace, he couldn't help but think that his daughter must miss having a mother in her life. Sure, she had a lot of women around her like Emma, Snow, Ruby, Granny etc. but they couldn't replace a mother.

Jefferson felt a bang of guilt in his chest when he realized that he couldn't remember Grace's mother. He was sure he had been married at some point because he had a faint memory of two hands and two rings but everything else was a blur. He had told himself that it was because of Wonderland. When ever Grace asked him why she didn't have a mother like Henry and the other kids at school, he simply told her that her mother was lost somewhere and that seemed to be enough for his daughter.

Suddenly, a small sound from the shadows in the living room caught his attention.

Jefferson spun around and was faced by a tall man with black hair and beard, leather clothes and a hook on one arm. He quickly took several steps back but the other man followed him.

"I have finally found you, my love. Now you, me and Grace can finally be a family again, just us three"

"W-who are you?" the hatter finally manage to ask, still keeping his distance from the other man, eyes wide with fear. How did this person know him and his daughter? Was he some crazy stalker?

"Don't you remember me, love?" Jefferson gasped as he felt his back hit the wall and shook his head.

"I'm your husband. I'm Grace's father" The hatter just starred at the man as he kept getting closer. Was he out of his mind? He was Grace's father, not this lunatic.

Jefferson barely saw the arm shooting out at his before it caught his wrist and pulled up his hand in front of his face.

"You don't believe me when I say that we are married well look here, darling" the dark man said and placed his own hand next to the hatter's. On his ring finger, a golden ring identical to the one that Jefferson wore was placed.

"W-what? This is…. There is no way….Its impossible" the hatter stuttered as he quickly pulled his hand away, pressing harder into the wall behind him. He flinched when he felt a cool hand touch him face, forcing him to look into the pirate's dark eyes.

"Oh darling. In a land with magic, nothing is impossible" the dark stranger whispered and pressed his lips against Jefferson's. The hatter's mind was immediately flooded with imagers of Grace with the strange man, them kissing and holding hand, a house and all of them smiling together. It all became too much for him. He panicked as the images sped up, causing him to become dizzy. The strange man must have felt him freeze because he quickly pulled away and looked at him with concerned eyes. Jefferson just looked at him for a moment before a piercing pain in his head caused him to collapse on the floor screaming.

"Jefferson!" He heard the other call. New waves if pain wrecked trough his body with every image of them. The hatter curled up on the floor, his hand holding a firm grip on his head as he continued to scream in agony.

Killian didn't know what to do, he felt so helpless. He had finally found his family after years of searching and he wasn't about to let them go again. It pained him to see his husband like this with no idée of how to help him.

"Daddy!" The captain spun around and saw the terrified girl in the doorway looking from him to her daddy on the floor.

"Grace, I need you to stay calm okay?" the pirate said, trying to his best himself.

"How are you and what have you done to my daddy?" she asked as tears started to run down her face. How was he going to explain this to her?

"Sweetheart, I'm a friend of you father and right now I need you help" he said as calmly as he could and held out his hand towards her. She looked at him for a moment but nodded slowly as she carefully took a few steps towards him.

"Good girl. Now, I need you to go and get help. Your daddy is in a lot of pain right now and I can't help him. Can you do that for me?" Grace looked down at her daddy and quickly nodded.

"I'll get Henry's mom" and with that she ran out the door and into the dark.

Killian felt a bad about sending the little girl out in the dark on her own but right now his husband needed him. He quickly turned back to the man on the floor who was still clutching his head in his hands and shaking violently.

"Shh, it alright love. I'm here now, I'm here" Killian cooed out as he pulled the hatter into his lap, brushing away a few strand of hair out of his face with the metal hook. He stayed like that until he heard a loud bang as the front door flew open. He heard several pairs of footsteps and not long after that no other then Miss Swan burst into the living room, David and Snow following close behind her. Emma just stood there, staring at the other man as if she couldn't believe her eyes.

"Hook" she finally managed to whisper.

"Good evening Miss Swan. I'd love to catch up with you but right now, we need to help my husband"

All three of the newly arrived adults stopped at the words husband.

"You mean that you and he are married?" David asked as he raised an eyebrow. Killian was just about to snap back at the prince when e heard a small voice behind them.

"Does that mean you're my papa?"
