Authors Note: the story itself starts in the next "chapter" and should be labeled once upon a time background part 1 and so on. this "chapter" is just the ideas for the story that I wanted some input on. so please share your ideas and opinions in the review section or as a private message. thank you.

So I thought about a cross-over for Once Upon a Time (OUAT) and General Hospital (GH) but I have not actively watched GH for years so I would prefer it to be more past tense.

I thought that Hook & Emma (OUAT) could have a daughter. I am thinking maybe teenager/preteen (11-17 or 18 at most but prefer teen at 15/16). If they have other children (in addition to Henry of course) that is fine but I would prefer her to be the only girl or at least the youngest. If someone wants oldest daughter that is fine too, but I really like the idea of her with just brothers.

- I thought this could tie in to unknown bonds (just with their daughter Britney older or either story could stand alone.

- What age range is the most appropriate? I figure age will affect how serious the kids relationship is. ie. first crush/kiss, starting to date, getting serious and potentially intimate, or on the verge of starting an unplanned family of their own.

I wanted to see how complicated life could get if you paired their daughter with somebody from GH (teenage boy-approx the same age/year older) I thought of someone along the lines of a Corinthos or other dangerous business family (Zacchara, Morgan, etc).

-I had thought of a child a made up as the offspring of Claudia Zacchara & Nikolas Cassidine. This would bring so many different family dynamics. I didn't know how I this family would work since I really liked Claudia with Nikolas but didn't want to change a lot of the history in PC. it would fit with the first love story I wrote showing a past loving relationship but secret child for Claudia and Nik.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this or ideas for a love interest for Emma/Hook's child (I would consider switching to OUAT-son & GH-daughter)

Since I was/am a Carly/Sonny fan I thought of maybe making a new character for them (another son). I know they aged Micheal/Morgan and have added characters so I didn't really want to pair Emma/Hook's daughter with either of them. I really want them back together. they sort of seem to be headed that way presently. (last I watched)

I have not really watched GH since 2009 after they killed Claudia, so It would probably be more along that timeline (or at least have a quick recap/background for important info related to the story-family ages/history that sort of thing).

I know that OUAT was not out in 2009 so that is fine but I don't want to age the main characters from OUAT too much. So that means I would do a new curse or have the extended family time travel in some way. If Emma/Hook's daughter was 15 years old, I would make Henry like 17 or 18 (she's 11/12 then he's 15/16) something so they can be close in age and relationship but so he is still a big brother and protective of her. I also liked the idea of Hook and Emma having the chance to raise him as their son.

is that pushing it too much. what would be appropriate for the best Henry/Britney, Henry/Emma, & Henry/Hook relationships. What ages and history-grow up together how?

I even thought of doing like some separated/cursed/forgotten thing where not only are Emma/Hook finding out about their's daughter's boyfriend/meeting his family so are the Charmings and rest of Storybrooke family.

What it Snow/Charming don't know Emma is married to Hook and they had a daughter. or should Britney be raise by all the Charmings and involved with her grandparents and extended family?

Should I add other characters for them to have friends or even enemies/rivals. Like Belle and Rumple can have a kid or Regina and Robin Hood? or should I ruin that relationship completely and have Regina be the Evil Queen? I would like her some happiness too but don't think Robin would just leave Marian for Regina.
