"You did what?" Snow asked clutching her stomach.

"No honey please let me explain. It obviously wouldn't happen until they're older, it will unite our kingdoms!" Charming said walking up to me.

"No I can't believe you married off your first daughter BEFORE she has even been born!" Snow yelled.

"Honey relax, the baby."

"The baby you married off, Oh my gosh Charming!" Snow said pacing around her room.

"It'll unite our kingdom with the Kingdom of Roger. There's a reason everyone calls them the Jolly Roger's."

"Is it because they have their teenage sons marry babies?" Snow asked still angry.

"He's two! It's because they're a really nice kingdom." Charming said watching Snow sit on their bed rubbing her bump. He grabbed the end of the bed and watched as tears slid down her face.

"I can't believe you did that. How long will we have her?" Snow asked looking up, her greens eyes were watery.

"Until she's 24. We still haven't decided what they're living arrangements would be. They might live with us."

"Oh joy, we can see our daughter get wedded to some stranger. Maybe we'll hear her get bedded too." Snow said throwing her hands up dramatically. Charming cringed at the last statement.

"Look I love our daughter and I've met Katrina's and Scott's child. He has an older brother but I refused him. I chose the two year old named Killian. He has dark hair and the brightest blue eyes ever. He seems like a happy child."

"Children can change." Snow argued.

"Trust me he won't." Charming smiled and gave Snow a kiss which she accepted and she hated herself for liking it so much. No matter how crazy Charming was she'd always love him.

*2 months later*

"You invited them over for dinner?" Snow asked.

"Yes, I want you to meet them and little Killian." Charming said kissing her forehead. Snow had been angry the past two months and last few days she had been craping up making her mood even more sour. "They're coming tomorrow." Charming said situating himself in bed. Snow rubbed her stomach and slipped in next to him.

"Goodnight." Snow said rolling over to not face him.

*The Next Morning*

Snow rolled over to find Charming out of his bed. "Charming?" She called out. There was no reply. She laid in bed a few moments and then Charming walked into the room, she could tell because she could here his boots.

"Snow, honey? It's time to get up." He said shaking her slightly. She turned to him with a smile but it was soon gone because her cramps had come back. She winced slightly, and pushed her black waves of hair from her face.

"I don't feel so good Charming. Can't we just wait until after our little girl's birth?"

"Are you alright?" Charming asked ignoring her question.

"I just have cramps, the mid-wife says it's when the baby is close to coming."

"Maybe we should-" Charming began but was cut off.

"I'm sure a few hours couldn't hurt." Snow said getting up from bed and changing into something more Queen like.

"Do you think Regina's going to crash our party?" Charming asked with a chuckle, as Snow tried on dresses.

"No, I told you she's actually very nice. That Robin Hood fellow isn't so bad after all." Snow laughed. She knew Robin from when she was a bandit too.

"An evil queen and an outlaw causing havoc, who would've guessed?" He teased.

"So how's the marriage going to happen will they be complete strangers?" Snow asked finally finding a comfortable dress that she liked.

"No, we will visit them often as will they. They want the children to be friends." Charming smiled.

"But what if they don't love each other?" Snow asked worriedly. Charming frowned at that statement.

"I don't know." He said rubbing his eyes, there were so many possibilities. You couldn't force people to fall in love. A servant entered the room.

"King Scott and Queen Katrina and their sons are here." He informed them with a bow.

"Thank you, sir." Charming said. The servant closed the door and Snow looked paler than usual.

"Are you alright?" He asked rubbing her shoulders.

"I don't know, something feels wrong." Snow said clutching her stomach.

"With the baby?" Charming asked. Snow nodded and sat on the bed.

"I think she might be coming today, the cramps are getting worse." Snow said trying to have a brave face.

Emma was born that night. Snow didn't get to meet Killian.

Until 5 years later.

An adorable blond ran through the halls, Daddy had said they were having guest and that she needed to look her best! Emma giggled at the little rhyme her father told her. Her green eyes shining. She was going to meet a new friend, who was a boy no less but she didn't care. Snow scooped an excited Emma into her arms and kissed her, Emma squealed in delight.

"Come on Princes, get into a dress." Snow said trying to pull the pants off of her daughter.

"No dress mommy!" Emma said crossing her arms.

"Please Emma, you have too. It's a fancy thing."

"Fancy?" Emma said raising an eyebrow.

"Yes very fancy." Snow nodded.

"Fine." Her little voice said. Snow smiled and clapped. Emma rolled her little eyes and pulled off her pants. Snow slipped a pretty red dress over her head. "I love red mommy!" Emma said looking down at her dress.

"I know my darling." Snow said putting a bunch of kisses over her daughters face. They went down stairs and Emma saw her dad greeting some other people. An older boy glanced from around his dad's leg and a smaller boy from around his mother's. Emma went pink in the face. She didn't know there were two boys!

"Emma!" Her dad said pulling her in close for a hug. The man laughed and gestured to the oldest boy.

"This is my son Liam." Liam smiled with a little wave. "And Emma this is your... special friend my other son Killian. He's 7." Killian raised a dark eyebrow at her.

"Hello, lass." Killian said, his blue eyes were shining.

"Hi." Emma said shyly. Killian smiled at her shyness and pulled at his tight collar while Emma pulled on the sleeves of her dress. Snow smiled at the young boy, they seemed alike both bothered by their fancy clothes.

The parents talked and Liam stayed because he was 11 after all and thought he was needed with adults.

"So love what do you like to do for fun?" Killian asked. Love? was this kid serious.

"I'm not your love." Emma said.

"I know, I just call everyone that."

"Oh, do you want to play knights and dragons. My daddy's always the dragon." Emma giggled.

"Sure, as long as I get to be a Captain."

"Captain? Like a pirate?" Emma said. Her mom would always pretend to be a pirate and try to stop her on her way to the dragon.

"No, silly. Like a Captain in the Navy. A good guy."

"I like that." Emma said pulling at her dress.

They played for hours, Killian had unbuttoned his stuffy collar and Emma ditched the dress for pants. Soon they were battling with wooden swords.

"You're not bad for a girl!" Killian laughed.

"My daddy taught me." She said stabbing him in the stomach, he laid down and fake died. Soon his parents came to collect Killian and they left. "When's Killian coming back, I like him." Emma asked when Snow tucked her into bed that night.

"Hopefully soon." Snow said with a smile.

Killian didn't come back. There was something about a horrible war in his Kingdom. Emma soon forgot about Killian, her life as a Princess was to hectic for her to worry about a boy she'd met a long time ago.

*15 years later*

A 20 year old Emma laced up her boots and threw on her cape. "Bye Neal." She said ruffling her younger brother's black hair.

"Bye!" He said.

"Where do you think you're going?" Her mother asked.

"Mom I'm just going for a ride." Emma said, moving down the stairs.

"Be careful!" Snow called.

"I always am." Emma called back.

"Don't stay out to late."

"No promises." Emma said under her breath. She grabbed her tan horse she'd named Bug and got on the saddle with ease, dresses sucked. She raced towards the woods, it was always so pretty in the spring.

The wind whipped through her long brown hair, Bug's breathing wasn't even heavy. She was going straight toward her favorite place. A small clearing next to a rushing stream, surrounded by trees for privacy. When she could see it through the trees she slowed Bug down and hopped off , leading him through the trees. She heard a branch break under someone's foot in the clearing. She stopped and her smile disappeared, she could see a bright blue jacket and dark black, short hair. He looked tall and strong. She pulled her long knife just in case. The stranger looked down at a knife puzzled and scratched his head, his dark brown horse ate leaves next to him.

"What are you doing here?" She asked stepping from the trees. He jumped slightly and turned to her, dropping the map.

"What are you doing here love?" His blue eyes couldn't hide that he looked interested in her. He studied her body and licked his lips.

"I'm not your love." She said holding the knife higher, he noticed it and raised an eyebrow. "Get out of my clearing."

"Sorry love I didn't realize it was yours, didn't have your name on it, which would be?"

"Emma." She said.

"Captain Killian Jones of the Roger navy. I captain the ship the Jolly Roger." He said trying to impress her, she rolled her eyes. "What's your title? Miss, Mrs., or Ms.?" He asked seductively.

"Princess actually." She said, his cockiness seemed to wash away.

"Princess Emma?" He asked and then dropped down to one knee. "I was actually trying to find your kingdom, my lady."

"Get up Captain, I'll lead you." She almost spat.

"Good." He smiled with a wink and got up on his horse.

"What's your purpose in my kingdom?" Emma asked.

"My father sent me to convers with yours. Some matter long ago."

"Who would be your father?" Emma asked.

"King Scott of Roger." Killian said.

"And you introduce yourself as Captain instead of Prince?" Emma asked.

"I like Captain better than Knight or Prince." He said with a shrug. Emma got onto Bug and the trotted towards the kingdom.

"So Killian Roger-"

"Jones actually." He corrected her much to Emma's annoyance.

"But your kingdom's name is Roger." Emma said.

"My father married the princess of Roger, my mother Katrina. So his last name is Jones."

"I like Killian Jones better."

"As do I lass, you know you look familiar." He said riding up closer to her. She didn't realize that the way her spoke and raised his eyebrow was familiar to her as well until he said it.

"So do you actually." Emma replied.

"Good so I'm not crazy." He smiled.

"Not very." She muttered. "So why'd you become a Captain of the Royal Navy?" She asked mocking his accent.

"Oh very funny lass. It was because my Kingdom was going through a huge war with some invaders so my parents enrolled me and my older brother, Liam into the Navy so we could learn skills that would keep us safe. We enjoyed to so much we stayed even after the war was over, which was 10 years. Started when I was 8."

"How old are you now?" Emma asked.

"22." He replied.

"So I was 6." She whispered. She remembered mentioning a war a long time ago.

"You look younger than 20 lass." He said grabbing his scruffy chin. He had a black hair around his mouth and face. Making him look more like a pirate than a navy Captain.

"You look older than 22." She commented and Killian grunted. Emma picked up the speed of her horse in efforts to be better than Killian. Killian noticed and picked up his horses speed and soon they were racing back to the kingdom laughing. They came to the stables and stopped.

"That was fun love." Killian jumping off his horse and going to help Emma off, and she let him much to both of their surprises.

"Yeah it was." She replied and Killian leaned in close to him, he smelt fresh like the sea. She leaned back and ran around him, Killian raised an eyebrow to her. "C-come on." Emma said nervously. Killian nodded and followed her through the door that connected to her kitchen. The women working in her greeted her happily and started whispering when they saw Killian. She rolled her eyes and grabbed her guest's hand leading him through all of the women. He smiled at them. "My father should be I his study."

"Emma who's this?" Snow asked, cutting her off from going up the stairs.

"Ummm, Captain Killian Jones from the Royal Navy of Roger." Emma spilled.

"Killian? Wow you're so big now!" Snow said grabbing his arms.

"I'm sorry, I don't remember you."

"I'm sure you don't you were only 7 when you visited."

"That's why Emma looked familiar, she was 5 when we met." Killian said turning to Emma with a smile.

"A Captain of the Navy now huh?" Charming said coming down the stairs.

"Yes sir." Killian said with a bow. Emma smiled happily. Charming grabbed Killian and hugged him.

"I'm happy you made it safely." Charming said.

"I wouldn't have without your lovely daughter." Killian said with a wink. Charming looked at him with no expression.

"Killian we need to talk please follow me." Charming said motioning Killian up the stairs.

"Nice to see you again Queen Charming." Killian said bowing.

"Please call me Snow." She said and Killian nodded, he turned towards Emma and kissed her hand.

"Good bye love." He said. Killian followed Charming up the stairs and out of view.

"What are they talking about?" Emma asked Snow. Emma's mother shrugged, Emma starred at her mother and Snow didn't look away.

"We're betrothed?" Killian asked dumbfounded by what Charming told him.

"Yes, but you can't tell Emma. She'll shut you down, she's not a very open person." Charming said.

"What if she doesn't like me and I don't like her?" Killian said with attitude. "You can't force people to fall in love."

"I'm not trying to force you Killian, I just want to see if it'll work. You were supposed to spend a lot of time together when you were younger and you got along very well when you were 7 and she was 5. But then the war happened ..." Charming looked away from Killian's blue eyes.

"We did, didn't we." Killian said remembering. Charming nodded.

"Do you like me daughter?" Charming asked.

"She is beautiful." Killian nodded. "She seems very lovely. I will try and see if it works. I did love someone once and I vowed never to do it again but I'll try. I'll try Charming."

"Thank you Killian." Charming said.
