PETER POV:
" Do you want kids one day?" Mary Margaret spoke, and I went rigid. Fear creeping into my being, I looked at Victoria and saw the horror hidden behind her eyes. I put a soft hand behind her back comforting her, Vic forced a pained smile and she spoke with a morbid longing in her eyes " One day, " She turned toward me and braced herself against me and Vic spoke again.
"If I can have them."
She didn't realize that she spoke it so loudly and of course, Hook had to speak up.
" What was that love?"
" Nothing Kilian"
" Did you say IF you can have them?"
She nodded a curt short nod and I saw the pain in her mind the horrors she must be thinking and I got angry and I began to breathe heavily. I snuck a short glance to Felix, and his eyes were on her, the uncomfortable silence was broken by Emma.
" What do you mean by that?"
Vic was torn her demeanor showed it and I leaned down and spoke in her ear,
" It's your choice you can tell, I won't be mad."
Vic gingerly stood up and set the baby in Mary Margaret's arms and she placed a stump behind my back and sat with me and curled her body into mine leaving no space between us. With her head on my chest, she fell asleep. I played with her long tendrils picking them up and then letting them fall onto her shoulders again.
"She hasn't slept this well in a long time, I'd have to hold her to keep her from accidentally hurting herself in her nightmares."
I hmmed and Regina spoke up listening in her curiosity getting the best of her from earlier.
" What did she mean earlier? When she said 'if she can have kids'?"
I glanced down then toward Felix the boys had dozed off a while earlier, it was well after 11:00 now, I didn't want to answer, not if Vic didn't want me to.
" That's her story to tell,"
" Well, it doesn't seem as if she's too keen on telling it, ya bloody demon." I looked at Killian and cast my eyes back down to the beauty in my arms.
Sadly she was on a part of me that got too excited and I tried to think of something anything to make myself a little less excited. I wriggled around so she was no longer on top of my anatomy, I turned to Felix,
"How is she?"
"Why don't you ask her?" He responded.
" Because Felix you know she will lie to me."
"She's still scared I can tell you that much but you know she'll always lie about how she is."
I nodded again and finally let my protesting eyelids drop. I awoke to Vic trying to get out from my arms and I was too asleep to protest her leaving. I finally woke up fully to yelling and Vicky screaming let me go. I hopped up as quickly as I could and looked around for her only to watch dark black hair fly past me. I slipped behind her trying to divert the attacker until I saw who it was. The whole throng of Lost boy was chasing her and all were laughing. I stopped them and spoke,
"What'd she do?"
"Water. "
I then laughed at the sight of them they were all drenched. I then turned when the water hit my back, it was freezing, my mouth formed an 'o' shape and I turned to see a smiling Vicky. I let a dark smile cover my features and her eyes went wide and she turned and ran, quickly but not quick enough. I shot after her like a bullet, they boys sat by the fire admitting defeat.
The group of characters sat by the fire with wide eyes at the whole ordeal, I decided to run her down make her stamina fall, but sadly we trained her too well, and I found myself losing my breath and stamina. Until we were right by the fire and I leaped forward and grabbed her forearm and pulled her to me. Sadly Vic lost her footing and we tumbled down and I twisted myself so I was underneath her taking the brunt of the fall and she squealed.
I looked up and flipped us over so I was on top and I let my arms wrap her letting them take most of my weight while my legs straddled her. She looked up with hooded eyes and tried to look innocent and sadly it was working, I leaned down and I whispered,
"You shouldn't have done that."
"Oh yeah?"
I nodded and my eye flickered down between us, but before I could let my head fall down to her lips I let my eyes glance up and I quickly moved as Felix poured a bucket of water over Vic's head. She sat up and looked at me with a look that made the group around the now dead fire cringe. I just shrugged and teasingly leaned in to kiss her lips but quickly diverted at the last second and kissed her cheek. Vic rolled her eyes and stood up and looked at the boys and took off running, we spent that morning playing games and getting used to having everyone back together. Around lunch we were all in a clump by the Storybrooke enforcers of us, talking about everything and nothing at all. Until a black haired woman with red streaks through her hair and too short of a skirt walked toward us she had a bunch of bags, Vic smiled and hopped off and maneuvered through the boys and greeted her.
This woman hugged her and walked more toward us and I watched Felix flush a bit before standing, I smirked at him and we followed Vic.
"Hey Ruby this is Peter, Peter this is Ruby."
"Pleasure," I spoke curtly, making sure I wasn't too close to Vic, I don't want old memories to surface. Ruby nodded and turned back to Victoria, and she began to talk to her, I looked up, the sun was so bright and hot, I looked to Felix most of the boys were already shirtless and it didn't seem that bad of an idea so I stepped off to the side so I wouldn't hit Victoria and I gripped the back of the odd clothing I was wearing and I pulled it over my head.
I looked back up after I bundled it into a ball and I tossed it to Chet as he ran by with Sam on his tail. I smiled as I turned back to the girls who were lost in conversation, until Ruby said she had to leave.
"Hey if you ever want to work at the diner we'd be happy to hire you! The town loves you!"
"Thanks! Are you sure you need to leave?"
"I could maybe stay, but only if we go swimming."
"SWIMMING?!"
Almost all of the lost boys spoke out at once, she nodded
"I found a large lake in the woods in my adventures here do you guys want to go?"
Everyone nodded all but Vic and I knew why.
"How about after lunch?"
Heads nodded and they all took the food from Ruby and Vic and began to set it up. I joined the boys when Devin pulled me to the side,
"What's Vic gonna do?"
I shrugged and turned back to the weird food in front of me. I looked toward Vic and looked back down she pulled Ruby to the side and talked in hushed whispers, they both disappeared and Ruby announced that they were going to go get Vic a swim suit. I turned to Felix,
"What's a swim suit?"
He just shrugged and tried to calm the heat in his cheeks. I just ignored it for the time being and we all ate, the group that tried to watch us decided that they would go as well. Different ones left and came back with soft pants that cut at the knees and the women had straps around the neck and had a rather short dress over it. We all just overlooked it, Vic came back with one of her loosest black dresses with ¾ sleeves and I thought it odd she normally preferred trousers and blouses. She quickly ate and we all ventured toward the lake Ruby had previously found.
As we were walking I matched my pace with Vic and Ruby's strides and Vic gave me a reassuring look though it seemed it was more to herself than me. When we came to a clearing and saw the lake she dropped the bag Ruby thrust towards her and she unrolled a larger towel and she sat. The group sat right beside her. Henry ran in with the boys after they stripped their shirts, and so did David; Mary Margaret gave Neal to Emma who was sitting in between Killian's legs. Belle and Gold sat side to side and a man had joined Regina and they looked close.
"You guys should come in!"
David spoke as he threw Henry further into the lake. I looked at Vic and thrust my head toward the lake and she spoke a mere 'later'
"Come on it's hot!"
"The suit I'm wearing shows too much." My eyes got serious and I looked into her blue orbs and said,
"Don't worry, you are beautiful! Come out with me."
She looked down and Ruby spoke up,
"Don't worry Tori your suit is actually dubbed as modest in this world."
"Maybe in a few minutes."
"Come on!"
"Don't worry," Belle spoke. "I was kind of appalled by this realms fashion sense, but were used to it and if you think you're being too showy trust me you haven't seen the start of it."
"I have a few battle scars,"
"Don't worry we all have those." Emma butted in.
"Yeah! Come on in," Ruby spoke shook her head but everyone kept pushing even Gold spoke up.
"Fine!"
"Love you don't need to, but if you want to, remember you are beautiful."
She nodded and I pulled her up and we stood side by side. I took off my shirt and looked at her as she turned around for me to unlace her dress. A large sigh escaped her lips and she shook as she pulled it down, her back still facing me and her left side toward the group of fairytale creatures. Her breath became more shaky and she leaned closer toward me and I put my hand on her arm.
The boys had stopped playing, they had never seen the full extent and damage that had happened to her. None but me and Felix and Devin, her arms were out of the shoulders and the dress hung around her bust. I slowly pushed it down making sure my skin never lost contact with hers, I pushed the last of the dress over her hips and I grasped her hand in mine.
Gasps were heard and I looked toward the boys a few of the older ones were turning the younger ones away trying to distract them. I kept my eyes on her hairline reading her body language out of my peripheral vision she was tense and scared. I pulled her to the lake and halfway there she I picked her up and threw her over my shoulder eliciting a scream from her. Once I was about to my knees in the lake I threw her.
