Killian Jones, a true hero, pirate, orphan, loving father, brother, and friend. These are the many things people have called him. However, Killian has never felt the love of a mother. Even though he had Snow his wife Emma's mother, but it was not the same. Killian barely remembers his mother. Liam his older brother had told him a few things about her, when they were fighting in slavery, but it was not the same. In his mother's memory, he and Emma had named their daughter Alice after her. Emma thought it was a great idea. Killian, Emma, Emma's son and, Killian's step-son Henry, and Alice all lived in the magical sleepy town in Maine called Storybrooke.
One day on Killian and Emma's day off from work. Alice who is ten now came up to them when they were sitting on the porch. "Mother, papa. Can I ask you something?" she asked. Emma and Killian both nodded. She always has been a curious child. She, like Henry, is always looking for answers. "What do you want to know starfish?" Killian asked as Emma smiled at the nickname. It took a while for Alice to answer. Then she took in a deep breath very dramatically. Which made Killian and Emma chuckle a little. "Why, why did you name me Alice?" She asked. Killian gave her a little smile. "I think now is the time to tell her Killian," Emma told him. Killian took a deep breath. "Starfish come over here a sit on papa's lap," Killian said as Alice walked over to him and sat down. Killian looked over to Emma with a worried look. Emma nodded for him to tell her. "Alice was my mother's name. We named you Alice in honor of her. Because s-she died when I was young, and I don't remember her, but you have so much of her in you. Well, of course, your mother and me too, but you look so much like her." When Killian as done Emma had tears in her eye's. "That was beautiful Killian. Why don't we all go get some Grandy's." Killian and Alice smiled at that idea.
After then were done Emma got called to stop a bar fight. "Swan are you sure you don't need my help?" Killian asked as they walked home. Emma kissed him. "I got it and besides last time you helped you made Leroy angrier," Emma said with a laugh. Then she left leaving Killian and Alice on the porch. "Do you want to hear a story love?" Killian asked as Alice sat down on his lap. "Yes, papa. story, story, she said as she looked at him with happiness in her eyes, but then after the story and Alice got down she fell through a portal that just appeared. "Alice!" Killian called as he jumped in after her. Then the portal closed.
I will be here, I will always be here.
