Chapter 4: Breakfast

Killian was hungry so he started to walk to the kitchen. Normally by now both Emma and Henry would have come up on deck, but Killian thought to himself that they still must be sleeping. However, as Killian got closer and closer to the kitchen, he heard the clanging of pots and pans, he smelled something delicious, and he heard the mumbling of two voices. Killian stopped when he heard yelling coming from the kitchen.

"Mom, I don't need you to think about me and what I need. I am old enough to take care of myself!" Henry sternly told Emma. "I know you are concerned about me having a good father figure, but he seems to be doing a good job so far. And if not I have Grandpa. Mom, I just want you to be happy."

"I know Henry, but it's not that easy. Once he finds out about how I have felt since Neverland, things will change forever and I don't want it to affect you."

"It is going to change my life no matter what you choose, just choose someone who you love."

"I never expected him to walk back into my life again. You are not to say a word to anyone about this."

"Scout's honor Mom. How about I go get Killian for breakfast?"

Killian had heard enough, he tries to head back on deck to make it look like he hadn't been listening to their conversation. He was feeling defeated. After all Killian had been trying to do to win Emma's heart, she had chosen Neal. He came back into her life, he was the perfect father figure because he was Henry's father. It had to be Neal.

"Hey Killian, Mom and I have a surprise for you, come down to the kitchen with me!" Henry smiled as he turned to face the pirate.

"Ok Lad. Sounds good." Killian tried his hardest to hide his feelings of defeat.

The three of them had a blast eating breakfast together. Emma wasn't such a bad cook. She had made eggs, potatoes, and toast. Nothing fancy, but still quiet delicious. Killian was telling stories to Henry about his life as a pirate, and Henry was taking it all in. In one of his elaborate stories, Killian smashed his fist onto the table causing food to fly in Emma's general direction. With a smirk, she looked at Henry, and Henry looked at her, the two of them picked up food on the table and had begun a food fight amongst the three of them. It was a mess. There was food in everyone's hair, all over the walls, and all of them were laughing so hard on the floor that tears of laughter were falling from Emma's face. It took them awhile to clean everything up, but by the time they finished cleaning they could see the forest which surrounded Charming's castle.

Emma left the boat first with a load of supplies. Killian and Henry brought up the rear.

"Thank you. Thank you for this trip. It seems like Mom is in better spirits."

"Yes lad she does. Your mother is a mysterious lass." Killian and Henry chuckled as they walked towards to the castle.

"Mom. Dad." Emma ran to her parents and gave them giant hugs.

"Well someone is feeling better!" Mary Margret remarked.

"Maybe the fresh water did you some good." David held onto his adult daughter and kissed her on the head.

"OW!" Mary Margret grabbed her stomach, "Your sibling likes to kick. I have barely slept a wink the past few days with the baby being most active at night."

"The baby should be here any day now. All we can do is wait." David said kissing Mary Margret on the cheek.

By the time everyone had cleaned up and settled down from arriving back from their adventure, it was dinner time. Emma decided she would make dinner, and Mary Margret would "help."

"So what happened over this trip that has caused you to become so happy?" Mary Margret asked trying not to seem as if she was prying information out of her very secretive daughter.

"I had to deal with some issues which occurred while I was fighting the Wicked Witch, and Henry and I had a serious chat." Emma was chopping up vegetables while Mary Margret sat in silence. Mary Margret knew that Emma would continue when she wanted to. "I saw a seer when I was on my journey to defeat the Wicked Witch. She told me that the next battle I fight, I would lose someone. I have been terrified of doing anything because I couldn't bear the idea of losing someone I loved. I was barely strong enough to fight the Wicked Witch, how would I be able to fight the next evil while knowing that I would lose someone as a result? I told this to Killian, and he brought up a good point. Seer's have a weird way of wording their phrases, of seeing the world, and how I think the future will pan out may not be what she had in mind. I figured out what she meant. The seer was telling me that when I choose to fight for what my heart wanted, I would lose someone, either Neal or Killian. Not in a death sort of way, but I would lose them as a potential lover." Emma refused to look up at her mother, she was so focused on saying everything that was on her mind. "Henry and I talked, and we agreed that Killian is the best fit for me and this family. He has always been there for me when I needed him to. He has been a wonderful father figure to Henry, and you can tell Killian would do anything for Henry. While Killian will not be Henry's father, that will still be Neal's role, Henry and I both want him to be a part of our lives."

"Honey, that's great. I am sorry I don't have too much to say on the matter, because my water just broke."

Emma looked up at Mary Margret for the first time since her rant, and Mary Margret is standing over a pool of water. Her face red and starting to get sweaty. "Emma, this baby is coming. We need to get David and get me up to my room."

Emma wrapped Mary Margret's arm around her neck and the two of them began to walk. Mary Margret was trying to concentrate on breathing, but every couple of minutes a contraction would come and breathing became difficult to do.

"DAAAVVVIIIID!" Mary Margret would scream in agony every time she had a contraction. It was a miracle that David hadn't found them by the time they made it to her bedroom. Since Emma hadn't been around to plan for the baby, Mary Margret was doing her best trying to give Emma all the directions. The contractions were getting closer and closer, and David was still not near. Finally David comes rushing in, with a nurse right behind him.

"I am so sorry honey, I was preoccupied." David kissed Mary Margret on the forehead and grabbed her hand.

"Preoccupied?! We are going to discuss what preoccupied means after I am done having this baby!" Mary Margret gave David a stare that would kill. Emma chuckled as she stepped back waiting for the baby to be delivered and not wanting to get in the way. It did not take long after David arrived for the baby boy to be born.

David had the baby all wrapped up and handed him to Emma, "meet your baby brother, Wyatt." Emma couldn't help but smile. He was so tiny. She missed out on holding Henry, and while this was not her own child, it was still amazing to be able to hold her baby brother.

"Hello Wyatt. You are going to be so loved. Your family tree will be a little complicated, but that's ok." Emma said lovingly to Wyatt. She gave the baby back to David and left to room.

Emma ran to Killian's room, wanting to share the news with him. Emma opened his door, she turned to hug him, but Killian was gone. All of his personal belongings had been removed from his room, there wasn't even a note. Panic rushed over Emma. Where would Killian go? Why wouldn't he say goodbye? She thought to herself. A man not willing to fight for what he wants deserves what he gets. Well she was a woman, and knew the same rule applied. Emma ran to the stables, grabbed a horse and started riding to the Jolly Rodger. She got to the Jolly Rodger, all of Killian's belongings were there but no Killian. Where would he go?!

Emma had one more idea, she got back on the horse and went to the cliff he had found her many nights ago. She got off the horse as soon as she saw a shadow standing at the edge of the cliff.

"KILLIAN!" She screamed as loud as her lungs would let her as she ran towards him. He didn't turn around, instead he remained focused on the ground below.

"Go away Swan, I do not want you here." Killian said stoically.

"Killian, please, step away from the ledge." Emma begged.

"I heard what you and Henry were talking about before breakfast. You are choosing Neal. I understand that, but I am not sure if my heart could take it."

"You don't know what you are talking about. Please, Killian. Don't do this. I love you Killian. Henry and I want you in our family. I want you to be a part of my very confusing family."

Slowly, Killian turned around to face Emma who at this point was in tears. She had been on an emotional rollercoaster and all she wanted was for him to hold her.

"I dreamt of you, every night, while in New York. I didn't know who you were, or how I knew you, but I saw you every night in my dreams. I should have told you I loved you before the curse but I didn't want to risk the emotions. What good would it have done telling you that I loved you. I knew after we kissed. I knew that I loved you and you telling me in Echo Cave you loved me too only made it that much easier of a decision. Please, Killian."

Emma took a couple steps closer to Killian, grabbed his arm and pulled him away from the edge and into a hug. Killian had started crying and rubbed his hand through her hair.

"Oh Swan. I will never ever leave you. I promise you that."

"Good." Emma smirked as she looked at him and kissed him. The same passionate feelings that were there in Neverland were here in the kiss, but only intensified. The two of them became so entangled in one and other that Emma almost forgot the news to share.

"I have a brother." Emma said between kisses.

Killian looked at her and smiled. "Well we best be back off to the castle! David is not going to be happy helping me move all my items back into the castle." Killian chuckled to himself.

"That's how he was preoccupied!" Emma laughed as the two of them got on the horse and headed back to the castle. They made it up to Mary Margret's room were Henry was waiting for them.

"It was about time! I was wondering if I was going to have to go find you two!" Henry remarked as he held Wyatt.

"Sorry Mate, but I guess I am going to be staying after all." Killian said to David. David had no choice but to smile. His daughter was happy, he had a baby boy. Everything seemed right. These are the good moments.

Henry passed the baby off to Killian, who seemed like a natural at taking care of a baby. "So Swan, how do you feel about having kids?"
