Hi everyone! I am so, so, so sorry it took me so long to update this. I beg you to not hate me. Last week I was bombarded with school work and family commitments. Don't you just love life? It was killing me to not be able to go on here. This chapter is rather short because I wanted this chapter and the next one to be seperated. The next few chapters will probably be short as well for the same reason. Please forgive me for any grammatical, spelling, punctuation, etc errors because as always I do not have a beta and I really wanted to get this up here and so did not edit very carefully. Thank you all so much for the follows/favorites and the reviews. I especially thank HookedOnCaptainSwan, missmandapanda, and latenightreader93 for their kind reviews on chapter 3. I hope you guys like this chapter! (:

Past: New York City, New York

"Hey, Kyle!" Killian called out, walking up to the counter. The old man stood behind it filling orders for the few customers there.

"Well, Jones, you only have three hours left to enjoy this lovely Friday. But I heard you got a girl,"

"Yeah," Dirk came out from the back, drying a glass. "You must have really scared her off if she left before my shift 'cause I didn't see her leave."

"She's still here actually. We're going to brunch. Can she borrow some of Jasmine's stuff?"

Kyle looked at him curiously. "I've never seen you interested in a girl. What time will you be back? Yes she may."
Killian and Kyle often had multiple conversations at once.

"I'm not sure of it myself. I was hoping to take the day off. Thank you."

Kelly studied him. "Killian," he lowered his voice so the others wouldn't hear his real name, "don't let your past make you lose your present. You've gone so long without even looking twice at a girl. She must be special."

"Oh she is. There's just something about her. I can't describe it, it's just there."

Kelly looked hard at him. "She's the one isn't she?"

"I, um, I didn't say that," Killian answered, flustered.

"You need to get over her. Move on- live your life. She's gone Killian. She died a long time ago." Kyle knew about Milah and Neverland and he believed it all.

"And how do I explain to her that I'm Captain Hook? I can't move on, not here."

"Then why are you even trying?" he paused. "Take the day off, it'll be your tavern soon enough," he said, resigned.

Emma came down at that moment. Her hair was pulled back in a ponytail again. She wore skinny jeans with brown leather ankle boots. She wore a white blouse under her coat and had on a brown shoulder bag. She pushed her glasses up self-consciously and strode over to Killian and Kyle.

"So you're the one capable of the impossible. I'm Kyle Kelly."

"Eliza Swanson."

Present: The Jolly Roger, Neverland Surrounding Waters

Dreams- Past: New York City, New York

"Emma!" he screamed as he pulled her close. The car's engine burst into flames. "Are you alright darling?" he asked in an Irish accent.

"Just a bit shaken up." She looked into his blue eyes, clouded with worry.

"You're sure you're okay?"

She wrapped her arms around his neck, tangling her fingers in his dark hair as she pulled him down towards her for a kiss. "Yes," she answered softly once they were finally parted. "Are you?"

"As long as you're her with me."

He pulled a necklace from his coat pocket. He walked behind her and brought it around her neck, connecting the chain. She looked down at it, two gold, intertwined hearts.

"I love you Emma."

She stared at him, unsure of what to say. "Killian, I, I can't. You know I-"

He held a finger to her lips as tears began to sting her eyes. "You don't need to say anything. I know we're not ready for this and probably won't be for a long time, if ever. But I need you to know."

))) Captain Swan (((

Emma awoke with a start. No- it couldn't be.

So that's chapter 4. How did you like it? I hope you loved it as much as I did. Please review! If I get 5 reviews on this chapter by Friday, September 27th, I will put the next chapter up on/by Saturday. I also hope to get two more of my stories up on fanfiction. I am so excited for Sunday! OUAT is back! My message about prompts etc from last chapter still stands. I'd love to know what you think of the story. Love and Hugs to all you Captain Swan fans! (;
