I don't own Peter Pan and the Pirates characters.
A/N - This story was fun to write. I liked the ending in particular.
''Tuck me in,'' James said to Mrs. Hook. A smile formed on his face as he sat near a pillow. James viewed his mother's smile and heard her footsteps. He began to rest. His smile was still present the minute Mrs. Hook placed a blanket over him. ''Mother always knows,'' he muttered under his breath.
James smiled at Mrs. Hook again. *Mummy is always here for me. She's with me when I'm sick. She tucks me in every evening.* James pulled the blanket up so that it was under his chin. His smile remained after he fell asleep.
Many years went by. Captain James Hook scowled on his bed. His mother departed from the world long ago. Captain Hook faced Smee. The latter wasn't bright. *Smee is also clumsy sometimes* Captain Hook thought. He shook his head in disbelief. *I'm always suffering.*
Smee smiled as he approached Captain Hook. ''I'll tuck you in,'' he said. He saw Captain Hook's wide eyes. The smile was still present while the latter got out of bed.
Smee took Captain Hook's arm and pulled him onto the bed. After wrapping the blanket around the latter's body, he viewed him struggling. Smee began to wrap the blanket near Captain Hook's throat. He saw the return of his scowl. ''I'll check on you later, Captain Hook,'' he said. He walked out of the bedroom.
Captain Hook's eyes became wide for another reason after he heard footsteps near his bed. He gasped as soon as Mrs. Hook's spirit materialized. He saw her smile. ''Mother?! Why are you here?'' He never heard words from her.
The spirit unwrapped Captain Hook and placed the blanket over him. After kissing him, she still smiled and vanished.
A smile formed on Captain Hook's face. ''Mother always knows,'' he muttered before he fell asleep.
