6. Family Plan
He's just finished preparing dinner when they return home from work and Regina's house.
"Perfect timing," he tells them as he plates the food into serving dishes. "Dinner's almost served."
He looks up to see them exchange a look. He sighs in frustration.
"I promise I didn't over-spice the potatoes," he tells them earnestly before adding, "And I didn't use my appendage on the meat."
He waves his good hand at the grilled chicken in front of them. When he sees Henry urging Emma to tell him something he immediately defends himself. "I apologise but it's hard to change old habits after all these years – even though I once had quite the palate."
Emma chuckles and shakes her head. "No, Killian it's something else."
Hook stops and looks from her to Henry. The boy's grinning, clearly pleased with whatever they've done.
He takes a seat on the chair next to Henry, so he's sitting across from Emma.
"We got you something!" Henry says with a big grin.
Emma pulls out a small package that she's been holding under the table and hands it to him.
Hook takes it with his good hand and takes it out of the bag it's wrapped in. It's revealed to be another electronic device.
"I'm sorry but I'm afraid I don't have need for a second kindle," he tells them, handing it back to Emma. "The one Henry gave me works just fine.
Both mother and son burst into silent laughter.
"It's not a kindle," Henry tells him.
"It's a phone," Emma explains.
"So you can get in touch with either one of us if you need us," Henry says with a big smile.
"And we can find you when we need you," Emma says, smiling at him shyly.
Hook studies then box with a renewed interest. "I don't known what to say..."
Then he looks up and says "Thank you."
He smiles at both of them but his eyes linger on Emma.
"I already put everyone's phone numbers in," Henry tells him with a big grin. "Which is good because you're on our family plan."
Hook looks to Emma for confirmation. She gives him a nod. "We share an apartment, might as well share a phone plan."
"I'm going to go charge this so I can you show you how to use it after dinner," Henry says, getting up and heading for the charging dock he placed in the living room.
After he leaves, Hook turns to Emma and gives her a smile, reaching across the table with his good hand and giving hers a gentle squeeze.
"I really appreciate this," he says looking into his eyes.
"At least this way you can call me before some witch curses your lips," Emma says with a teasing smile.
"Aah yes, because you'd hate for anything to keep you away from these lips," he replies.
Emma narrows her eyes at him, but he just grins flirtatiously at her.
"Just shut up and kiss me," she mutters tugging at his arm as she leans across the table.
Hook grins as he leans in, "As you wish."

A/N: I'd wanted to write Hook getting a cell phone for a while so I'm glad I actually had a fic where I could put that. Actually, this fic has been great in that it lets me write out a lot of smaller ideas so I'm really grateful that people like it. Thanks so much for reading it!
I want to thank people for their idea suggestions. I'm definitely taking a lot of them, so please send them in, some of them work really well with each other so it's nice when I can work in two or three of the suggestions at once. They might not show up right away, because I am trying to follow some sort of narrative timeline here. But rest assured I will get to Christmas and St. Patrick's Day. (They're already written if that's any consolation).
As usual, if you have any thoughts, comments, questions or concerns, please send them in! If you liked this feel free to check out my other stuff on tumbler, and AO3. Thanks for reading!
