AN: Here I am again, yeah I'm gonna be mixing cannon up so something that happened in Season 3 could be in the same chapter as something that happened in Season 2 or 1
Chapter 2: If I Die Young [The Band Perry]
And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
I've never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand
Emma sighed as she fumbled with the keys to her loft, another lonely birthday spent hunting cheap bastards. She shook her head, the audacity of that man,
leaving his wife and two kids! This is exactly why she would never, ever trust anyone ever again, they love you then they cheat you, plain and simple. Finally she got
the door to open and walked in tiredly, she closed the door, hearing it shut with a click. Emma kicked off her stilettos and flopped down on the couch, rubbing her
sore feet, 'Man,' she thought, wincing at the sting in her feet, 'running in high heels sure does hurt.' A sharp knock on the door pulled Emma from her thoughts, who
could that be? It was almost 11 p.m! Emma groaned as she padded towards the door, another knock hitting the door. "I'm coming, geeze." She opened the door to
see a boy, about 5'1 with brown hair and eyes just like... that person. "Hey, Emma, right?" The boy said as he walked in, headed for the kitchen. Emma blinked, just
who was this kid? And where were his parents? "Um, kid I don't know you." She sighed, eyes narrowing "Yeah, not yet but you will, hey you got any juice?" She
raised an eyebrow "Never mind I found some." "Okay kid you need to hop on the bus back to where ever you came from." She said pointedly "My names not kid, it's
Henry, and I can't because you're my mom." Emma's eyes widened, that's why the kid looked like him. "K-kid, uh Henry, I don't have a son." "Yes you do. You had a
baby 10 years ago,right?" Emma's eyes widened more, how could this 10 year old kn- oh god. When a look of realization dawned on Emma's face Henry grinned "Yep!
You're my mom!"
A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell em' for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'
"Capin'! Capin'! Look wha' we found!" Killian Jones looked up from his pint to see half of his crew leading a rather atractive redheaded barmaid towards him. "Ah!
Smee, you didn't have to do this!" The woman let go of Smee's hand and walked to Hook, in what she must of thought was a sultry way. She whispered something in
his ear, making his too blue eyes light up and a grin to creep onto his face. "Well then my dear, let's go." As she led him towards the tavern door he vaguely heard
Smee yell "Enjoy!" When they were out the door and standing in the alley Hook pushed a pouch full of gold coins towards the woman "Here, take this and go." She
grabbed his shoulder before he could walk away "Wait! Sir, I t-thought you.." she trailed off, "No. If anyone asks, you had a great time." The redhead nodded, and
turned down the stone pathway. 'Bloody crew, knowing that I hate whoring out women and still doing bloody shit like that.' He chuckled ruefully 'Though they are just
trying to get me to move on. But how the bloody hell am I supposed to live long enough to kill the crocodile?' Suddenly an idea popped into Hook's head, he could go
back to Neverland, though that place brought back bad memories, it would give him enough time to plan his revenge.
Uh oh (uh oh)
The ballad of a dove (uh oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep em' in your pocket
Save em' for a time when your really gonna need em', oh
Why didn't Emma just throw the kid on the first Greyhound bus she saw and run away? She didn't know, she wasn't attached to the kid. Nope, not attached, just
because he looked like Neil, acted like Neil and sounded like what she imagined a younger Neil sounded like didn't mean she could keep him. No, Emma had to take
him home, then leave, she promised herself 11 years ago that she wouldn't make relationships, only one-nighters. She was safe that way, no relationships, no
attachments equals no broken heart and the damn guy leaving her to pick up the pieces. "Hey, hey Emma?" The kid was waving his hand in front of her face, what
was she doing? Oh yeah, taking the kid- what did he say his name was? -back to 'Storybrooke, Maine.' Pfft yeah right, and Emma wasn't emotional detached. "What
kid?" The kid grumbled under his breath, though she heard him "My name's not kid, it's Henry." "Yeah Okay kid," Emma purposely called him 'kid' "So I'm gonna take
you back to Storybook, Maine. Right?" She rubbed her hands together, it was getting cold out. Henry's lips formed a thin, unimpressed line "No. You're not. We are
going to Storybrooke, Maine." Emma's eyebrow arched, Henry sure did act like Neil, 'Nope, not thinking about that no-good-lazy-ass-lying-cheating-bastard.' She
rolled her eyes, "Get in the car. And no, I'm not going to stay in Storybook, or whatever it is." Henry grinned "Yes you will, I can see it, you like me too much to leave
me." Emma walked over to the driver side, "No kid, no I don't." She started the car and drove towards Maine as Henry growled "My name is Henry!"
AN: Tsk. This song wasn't really for this chapter but I really didn't have any song ideas, so yeah, anyway my chapters are slowly diverging into cannon but the next one will mainly be Hook in Neverland so poo. Whoo I just noticed my chapters only have 2 characters, Emma and Hook (embarrassing) but hopefully I will be making other character's point of view once I introduce them.
The song I was going to use for chapter 3 was 'Human'by Christina Perri or 'Shatter me' by Lindsey Stirling, but if you would like a different one just read the story and post a review telling me which song! :)
