This story takes place after the underworld and after Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde but before Belle has the baby. This version doesn't include Regina splitting with her Evil Queen side nor does it include Emma having visions of her death.
Chapter 1
It was late and the citizens of Storybrooke had long gone to sleep. The wind outside blowed softly, but at times, made whistling music. In the mayor's house, Regina tossed and turned in her bed, grappled with dreams of Robin. It had been three weeks since his death and the pain hadn't gone away, it still plagued her. She could hear him too. He was calling to her, in her slumber. "Robin," she whispered, she tossed again. She couldn't make out his face, the images were blurry, but she knew it was him by his voice. Finally with a jolt, she woke up and sat on the edge of the bed, breathing heavily. She looked at her clock, it was 3 am and the wind had died down again.
Emma smiled as she sat at the kitchen table at her house with Hook and Henry. She watched them eat their breakfast with a happiness that wasn't always possible with all the crazy things that happened around the town. She stared at Hook, watching him chew his eggs and her smile faded only a little, it wasn't long ago when she thought she lost him forever in the underworld.
She shook her head from those thoughts and stood with a renewed smile, "Anyone want seconds?" she asked as she headed towards the counter to pour herself some more coffee. Henry stood, "I gotta get going, I'm taking Violet to the bridge and we're going to hang out," he smiled, he always did nowadays when he mentioned her. Emma turned to smile at her son, "Oh, well have fun, kid." She didn't mean for her tone to sound dissapointed, but it must have come off that way because he added , "We could stop by for lunch if that's ok."
"Um," Emma looked at Hook and he smirked back at her then she looked back at Henry, "You know why don't we just meet up at Granny's later, I'll invite your mom too." Henry shrugged, "Sure," and then he was out. Once he was out of the house Emma turned to Hook, "He spends less and less time at home, he's really growing up." Hook saw Emma's sad smile and went to her side, wrapping his arms around her, "It's only natural the boy wants to be away, he's becoming a man, a swashbuckling explorer."
Emma made a snorting noise as she smiled a more natural smile then looked up at her boyfriend, "As long as he doesn't sail far away on the seven seas, I'll be fine." Hook kissed her head and looked back at her, "Come on, let's watch a movie or we can do other things," he grinned at the idea of spending some intimate time with her. Emma kissed him back as her reply.
