Too Late
Author's Note: Takes place immediately after the hallway scene in 3x17, inspired by the first 3x18 promo. I just took too long to finish it. Multiple ending fic, you pick whichever you want. Endings are Yes, No, and Maybe So. Enjoy!
After the loss of Neal, Emma decided to face her feelings about Killian. She knew she couldn't bear to lose another man she lo- cared about, without him understanding how she felt. Henry is dead tired after his day with Killian, so after she tucks him in and hides his games, she heads out to find Killian.
As she climbs down the stairs to Granny's she hears a commotion in the diner. Unfazed, Emma bounds down the last few steps and weaves her way through the diner looking for Killian. As she's about to leave, Mary Margaret grabs Emma's arm, stopping her in her tracks.
"He's down by the docks," Mary-Margaret answered Emma's unasked question. "Hurry, last I heard he was starting trouble with the Wicked Witch." Emma nods, panic growing in her stomach; She runs out to her Bug and speeds off, praying she's not too late.
