First Once Upon a Time fanfic so please be nice! I happen to love Captain Swan and have wanted to write this story for a long time but kept coming up with excuses to put it off. This is set during the Cricket Game and super AU. I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 1- Jefferson

E- After my little spat with Regina I felt a bit worn out and decided it was time to take Henry back home. We said our goodbyes and left.

Henry and I were halfway to the house when I felt someone's eyes on me. I looked around for the guilty party but my search was interrupted by Henry tugging on my hand for attention.

"Hey Mom, I was wondering if on Friday I could go over to Grace's house after school and play. Is that okay with you?" Henry asked, puppy dog eyes looked up at me and even though I was a little (or a whole heck of a lot) precarious about my son bring in the same house of the man who had drugged, kidnapped, and threatened my mom and I, I knew I couldn't resist a face like that. A final "Please Mom" sealed the deal.

"Sure kid," I relented, happy he hadn't gone back to calling me 'Emma' again.

Henry cheered a little and did a cute dance. "But…" Dance, face, and domineer immediately fell. "I'll have to talk with Jefferson about it first," I finished.

"Yeah!" Cue happy dance from adorable ten year old son once more.

It was moments like these where I was so incredibly glad I'd stayed in Storybrooke…

K- Finally that blasted witch had stopped hanging around my shoulder, but the crocodile was still untouchable in this land.

All my hard work had been for nothing! Agitated, I was about to storm off to my ship when a strip of gold flashed at the edge of my vision.

Turning I saw that it was a woman and not just any woman mind you. It was the Swan girl. Emma.

I focused my spyglass on her to see that she was walking next to a young boy.

Must be her son, what was his name again? Never mind, it looked as though she was headed home.

No time like the present to discover where my Swan Girl lives…

Next Day

E- I walked Henry to the bus stop like I did every day and saw Jefferson sending off Grace as well.

No time like the present, I thought as I mustered up some courage to approach him.

Before I knew what was happening my hand seemed to move of its own accord and grabbed Jefferson's arm, which made him turn expectantly.

"Jefferson," I started then completely forgot what I was going to say next.

This man was responsible for kidnapping my mother and I. And now I was going to let Henry go to his house? What the heck am I thinking?

Oh yeah, kind of told my kid I'd let him.

Great, this was just great. Jefferson gave me an easy smile, "Emma? To what do I owe the pleasure?"

"Jefferson I was- Well actually Henry was wondering if he could come over to your house and play with Grace. I said it'd be alright but only if you agreed."

His grin widened even more. "That'd be lovely Emma."

"But," I continued. "I'd have to come as well after the whole kidnapping my mom and I stuff."

Jefferson laughed and nodded, "Of course I'd love for you and Henry to come over. I'll inform Grace, I'm sure she'll be ecstatic."

"Mom!" I turned around to see Henry bounding towards me, backpack bouncing over his shoulder.

I grinned, "Hey kid, ready to go home?"

"Yep," he flashed that adorable eleven year old grin.

I laughed at his cuteness; I was the luckiest mother alive…

K- I watched as my swan and the man with the questionable fashion sense talked with one another.

They were smiling and looked blissful; I tried to ignore the pang I felt in my stomach that I hadn't felt for a long time, jealously.

Why the heck was I feeling this way? It wasn't as though I had any feelings for Emma.

No, I'd lost the capacity to love a long time ago, but I knew what attraction was like. I just needed to get her out of my head, forget her.

Especially if she belongs to someone else, it wasn't worth the heartbreak, not after what had happened to Milah…

Last bit is extremely cheesy, fluffy, and OOC but I'll try to improve that next chapter! Please tell me what you thought.
