Can I just say, thankyou all so much for your lovely reviews, favourites and follows! I didn't think anybody would like this one shot / pairing to be honest however I'm glad you all do!

I know this chapter's a bit rubbish but I literally didn't know what to do for my second part to be able to link it in with my third, so I came up with this in the shower... I'm sorry!

Thankyou all again!

Evie sat at her dressing room table in her mothers castle. Yes, she shared an 'apartment' with Mal halfway across town but every couple of weeks she would spend the weekend (maybe more, maybe less) at the castle with her mother. She did love and miss her, despite all the times Evil Queen had put her down or sometimes even gotten physical, and wanted to spend a small fraction of her time with her.

She had removed all of her makeup, changed into her pyjamas and was just finishing the braid in her hair when she heard a faint tapping from the window behind her royal blue curtains. Curious to see what it was, she stood and quietly made her way over to the window - then snatched the curtain back with a sudden force.

Letting out a surprised yelp, Evie jumped backwards with her hands over her heart.

"Relax Princess, it's just me."

"What the hell are you doing here?!" She hissed, still trying to calm her racing heart.

"Evie, am four stories high - ye gonna let me in?" Evie stepped forward and slid up her window, causing Harry to come tumbling through. Adjusting his pirate hat, he bowed to her making Evie roll her eyes but smile slightly.

"Harry, what are you doing here?" She asked more calmly this time.

"Well, ye see... I wanted to see what yer room here looked like." Harry gave a shy smile and averted his eyes around her room. Surely this was a lie. He'd saw her room a couple of times before when he'd snuck up and gave her kisses when she still lived there and was grounded.

Evie raised an eyebrow suspiciously and crossed her arms. "... And the real reason?"

"... I missed ye," At this, Evie's heart warmed and a smile spread across her face. "And I wanted to cuddle."

"Aww, Harry you're so-"

"Evie! Who are you talking to?" A cold voice shouted from the corridor, accompanied by approaching footsteps. The pairs' eyes widened - they would both be dead if the Evil Queen found Harry in her room.

"Quick, hide! Under the bed - no! In the closet!" She ushered Harry to the walk in closet, quickly closed her curtains then jumped into bed. The door burst open and in came Evil Queen in her robe and nighttime rollers with a scowl on her face.

"What are you doing?" She seethed. Evie pretended she had been sleeping and acted dazed and confused.

"Mommy? What - I was just sleeping-"

"Do not lie to me! One of the guards heard you talking, is somebody in here?!" Storming towards Evie's bed, Evil Queen crouched and looked underneath it. When she discovered nothing was there, she sat up and eyed the closet however Evie was quick to spot this and jumped in with a lie.

"No, mommy. Why would anybody be in here? I was probably just sleep talking, y'know... Like I used to when I was a kid?" Evil Queen looked as if she bought it for a moment before she came to a realisation and the scowl returned.

"If you were sleeping... Why were your lights on?"

"Mom... You know I don't like the dark..." She mumbled, mostly so Harry wouldn't hear however partly so her mother wouldn't insult her - as unlikely as that was.

"Stupid girl.." She stood and made her way over to the door, the last thing said before she closed the door being, "Get some beauty sleep, you could use some." Evie waited until her footsteps had retreated out of her corridor before telling Harry it was safe to come out.

"She's wrong, ye know." Harry said softly, moving to sit next to her on the double bed.

"...Huh?"

"Yer not stupid, Princess. Yer actually quite intelligent. Being afraid of the dark is not something to be ashamed of, it's crazy what ye imagination can create from such a small thing. Don't worry, love." Evie smiled faintly and traced the detail on her bed sheets, not looking up at Harry and not quite believing him either.

"About the beauty sleep, too. Yer gorgeous Princess, ye could go decades without sleeping and still be as beautiful as ye are now." He explained tucking a stray hair from her braid behind her ear. Finally looking into his eyes, Evie pursed her lips before flinging her arms around his neck and instantly, his arms moved around her waist causing her to sigh lovingly into his shoulder.

"I love you, Harry Hook." She mumbled, making him squeeze her waist.

"I love ye too, my Princess. Now, c'mon. I do want to get some cuddling in before Uma realises I'm gone." He said, moving so he was curled around Evie's back and causing her to giggle - a sound he loved hearing oh so much.
