Authors Note: Hi this story is based around the events and after events of 9/11 used to the song lyrics to Heaven remix. Hopefully you'll enjoy it. It's usually going to split into two bits the story. The present day which more based on Elizabeth and the past which is based on Emma and Killian's relationship which I believe I haven't put in the right order sort of just jumps into different times of their relationship.

It's been a year daddy
I really really miss you
Mummy says your safe now
In a beautiful place called heaven

David is tucking his god daughter Elizabeth in to bed. She yawns her eyes look heavy. He gets up beside her in the bed with a story book. Once Elizabeth sees the cover it's like she is wide awake again.

"That my favorite storybook, how you know?" she claps her hands and wiggles her bottom on the bed.

"Just a guess." David puts his arm around her so she can lean on him while he reads the story. But before he can start Emma lightly knocks on the door.

"Hey." she softy says as she closes the door behind her.

Emma's eyes are red and puffy from crying most of the day. She had been through a day off hell, September 11th 2001 a date that she will never forget.

"Mummy, Dave is going to read my story." Elizabeth pats the front cover of the book, busting with excitement to hear the story she has heard many times before.

David shifts on the bed and moves his arm from around Elizabeth.

"You know what sweetie I think your mummy wants to spend some time with you." he gives her a kiss on the head after a day like this David isn't going to take life for granted, he lost his best friend...a brother.

He gets up and heads towards Emma and grabs her hand. "You going to be ok, do you want me to stay."

Emma takes a deep breathe. "No I can do it." Or so she thinks, how is she going to tell her daughter that her daddy is dead.

David leaves the room and Emma sits down on the edge of the bed. Elizabeth is lying back and Emma fiddles with the sheets as a way of coping distracting herself from crying her eyes out again. She never knew she could cry so much, she didn't think it was humanly possible.

"Mummy why are you upset." Elizabeth places her hand on Emma's to stop her from fiddling with the sheet. "Is it daddy he trouble?"

Emma is surprised how much Elizabeth had taken in from the whole day to know something was wrong with Killian. She tried not to cry in front of Elizabeth or discuss something's in front her she didn't want to worry her daughter. She thankfully had their close friends Mary Margaret and David. who Killian and Emma made Elizabeth's god parents, were there to help keep Elizabeth busy.

She clears her throat. "Yeah, its daddy. There was a lot of trouble today. Something bad happened, and you know because daddy works for the police he had to go help people."

Elizabeth gushes a big smile. "That's cause daddy is a hero."

Emma has a tear running down her cheek now, she sees how proud Elizabeth is of her daddy and it breaks her heart. She was always a daddy's girl.

"He is a hero." she reaches out and tucks some of Elizabeth's hair behind her ears. "Daddy isn't coming home tonight sweetie."

Elizabeth sits up in the bed when her mum says those words. "Is daddy hurt, do we need to go see doctor."

"Come here." Emma opens up her arms so she can cuddle her daughter, but it only causes her to break down and cry. "Daddy won't be home for a very long time. He's gone to visit this beautiful place called Heaven."

"He will come visit us won't he? He promised to take me to the park tomorrow." Elizabeth looks into her mothers eyes.

She sees Killian starting back at her, they all said Elizabeth was Emma's double but she got her daddy's eyes. "No, he can't come visit, but if you ever need to talk to him, I'm sure he can hear you."

Elizabeth puts her hands up and wipes away Emma's tears. "I'm going to tell him off, he made mummy upset."

Oh I'm thinking about our younger years

"Back again?" Killian looks up from the menu and smiles at the pretty blonde waitress. He only ever came to the diner after his shift so he could see her.

"Aye love, you make great coffee." His English accent flows out usually causing women to go weak at the knees. His accent usually gave him an advantage over his other cop friends when it came to the woman but not this one she had been playing hard to get for a while now.

"I'll be sure to let Leroy know you're interested in him and his coffee." she teases him. She knows herself that he comes to see her. When he thinks she isn't looking she can see him staring.

"You don't make the coffee." he seems confused he thought he saw her making it before.

"Nope I just serve it." She shouts back to Leroy threw the window. "Yo Leroy this cop here is just telling he loves coming here for your coffee."

Leroy peers out over the hatch "Sorry I don't swing that way."

Emma starts giggling as she watches Killian's face turn red.

"I'm sorry I'm joking you, we are just messing around, I do make the coffee." she feels bad but it was fun to watch his reaction.

"Quite a good liar...Emma."

"Seems you know my name but I don't know yours." She is interested in the guy, but he isn't the first cop to come into the diner and try and chat her up, there has been many over the years. Strangely none she has ever really been attracted to or went out with.

"I'll give you when you go out on the date with me." he says with a cocky expression on his face knowing she will say yes.

"Well...Jones." She surprises him that somehow she knows his last name, then he realizes she can see his name badge. "Give me a time and place."
