After a long shift of nothing but paperwork, I stand up and grab my jacket so I can head to granny's and meet Henry and my parents for breakfast. The air is damp when I set out of the door, and the mist rolling in from the water makes the air chilly so I pull my jacket tighter before walking off.

When I get to Granny's I open the door to see Mary Margaret, David and Henry all sat in a booth towards the back of the diner, walk down to greet them, shrugging off my jacket as I go, sitting down next to Henry, opposite my parents who are sat snuggled into each other.

"3 Hot Cocoa's with cinnamon, and 2 coffees. What can I get you to eat?" Ruby says, we give her our orders before walking away she discretely nods in the direction of my neck.

I pull my hair around to cover the hickey left by Hook. I catch the corners of David's lips quirking into a quick smile at my actions, and I can't help but smile at him.

"So Henry, have you enjoyed being at your mom's?" I ask politely before pulling him in to a half hug.

"Yeah, she's trying so hard to be better, and she made lasagne, and then Michael came over. I got to meet him properly and show him my steed. I like seeing mom happy." Henry said quickly before downing half of his cocoa in a few swift gulps.

"We'll have to go to dinner with them both or something." I say to Henry, earning an honest smile.

"I'll mention it when I talk to her later, oh look our food is coming." Henry says excitedly.

Ruby places our food down in front of us, with a smile. "Snow, Emma we should have a girls night soon, we can invite Belle, it's been a while and I'm sure there is new gossip by now." Ruby says with a smirk.

"Yes we should. How about tonight? David is working the night shift, you can come over to ours and bring a bottle of wine, I'll cook. About 8 ok for you?" Mary Margaret says sounding like an excited teenage girl.

"Yeah, 8 is fine, and I'll ask Belle when she comes in for lunch." Ruby says before walking away.

"So girls night huh." I say to Mary Margaret.

"Oh come on Emma, we all need to relax and Henry is staying at Grace's tonight for her party, it's better than us both just sitting doing nothing. It'll be fun!" Mary Margaret says.

"Fine, fine, but we better be getting plenty of chocolate as well." I say smiling at her.

We've just finished eating, when me, Mary Margaret and Henry decide to get another round of cocoa's before heading home. David is stood up getting his coat on ready to go to the station when the bell rings, signalling another customer has entered. I notice him nod at the new arrival so I turn to see who it is. It's none other than Killian, wearing modern clothes instead of his usual pirate attire. I smile before I can stop myself, and nod my head in acknowledgement; David claps me on the shoulder before leaving. I turn back to Henry and Mary Margaret, Henry looks excited when he spies Killian, and Mary Margaret just gives me a smile. I stand up to go talk to him. The short walk over to the counter where he has sat himself seems to set my nerves on edge.

"Morning lass. Good night?" Killian says before even turning to look at me.

"Morning. It was quiet, and boring, apart from when David noticed my neck. I didn't expect to see you in here this morning." I say with a smile in my voice.

"If he saw your neck, I'm surprised I still have one." Killian says with a chuckle. "And I just thought I'd venture out this morning." He finishes.

"You can come sit with us if you want; the booths are comfier than the counter stools." I say trying to make my voice sound casual.

"Aye lass, I think I will." He says before standing up. He gestures me to walk in front of him with his hook before using his hand to pick up his mug of coffee.

I lead the way over to the booth, ignoring the smug look on Mary Margaret's face and the excited one on Henry's in favour of looking at the wall. I slide in next to Mary Margaret so that Killian can slide in opposite me next to Henry.

"Morning Killian." Mary Margaret says politely.

"Morning. Can I go on your ship? I still don't know how to sail properly. My dad never finished teaching me, and we didn't get time on the way back from Neverland." Henry says excitedly.

"Morning my lady. And aye lad you can go on my ship, when your mother says you can." Killian says diplomatically.

"Mom, please, please, I can spend some time with you as well, please! Can we go to the Jolly Roger before I go to Grace's?" Henry begs.

I look over at Killian who is taking a drink with an amused look on his face, he looks up to meet my eyes, and gives me a slight nod. I sigh.

"If it's alright with the captain, we can go straight from here, and you can get the full tour of his ship." I say.

"Aye, that's fine by me." He says smiling at Henry. "Lass, shouldn't you get some rest before you work tonight?" He asks with a little bit of concern tinging his voice.

"No, she's not working tonight; she's having a girls night with my gran, Ruby and Belle." Henry says before I can answer.

"Girls night eh? So I don't get an invite then?" Hook asks with a wink.

"No you don't, and as Henry says I'm fine so if you're done we can go." I say with a bit of an attitude.

After paying Killian stands up, and starts towards the door, he holds it open letting Henry pass through and onto the street, as I walk past him he leans over to whisper in my ear, his hot breath causing me to blush.

"While I keep the lad entertained you can relax in my cabin, you know where my bed is." He whispers, but still managing to sound smug.

We all walk down to the docks, Henry walking in front talking incessantly, while I walk in pace with Killian, both of us in companionable silence, and risking the occasional glance and smile at each other. His offer of letting me rest while he entertains Henry sounds better and better with every step. We're nearly at the docks when I can't control my yawns and I'm struggling to keep my eyes open, my shift finally catching up with me. Henry runs up the gang plank and makes a dash straight for the helm.

"I'm gonna take up your offer." I say turning to Hook. "I could do with a bit of a rest, just come get me when you've finished your tour or whatever." I add before turning to go to his cabin.

Before I leave I see Killian walking up to Henry with his Captain Hook swagger in full force, Henry is smiling and talking more animatedly than I'd seen since we'd got him back from Neverland. Seeing his face, and hearing Killian answer his questions calmly, I feel like I can get some rest without having to worry.
