So it seems that the site was being a bit funny as some of you seemed to be missing chapter six even though others got it, very strange. Let's hope that it has been fixed now.

Let's carry on shall we?

A little more Captain Swan for you all with a little Captain Charming thrown in for good measure.

Not much left to go now and my brain is already reeling with ideas for my next fic.

Enjoy and please feel free to review.

"You're being ridiculous" Whale practically yelled at Killian as he stood at the side of his bed still annoyed by the fact that he had fallen "You are not well enough to have the Foley Catheter removed just yet, never mind the galavanting around the room, what were you thinking? Now would you lie still and let me put this back in."

"I bloody well …..will not... You come near... me with that thing and you ….. you will live to regret it" Killian snarled back. There was no way he was letting that man anywhere near him with that thing and as he held the blankets tightly over himself he saw a wave doubt wash over Whale. He had hoped that his bravado was enough to put the Doctor off his game and was glad to see that it seemed to have worked as the Doc snapped.

"Fine. I give in. I really don't know why I bother!" Whale threw his hands in the air in frustration "Of course you would know best wouldn't you? I mean just how many years of medical experience do you have? Oh yeah that would be none... well I hope you wet the bed you infuriating, ungrateful... son of a... Ugh, you are impossible"

With that he stormed from the room leaving Killian by himself but he really didn't care. If the Doctor was annoyed well so be it, Killian had won the battle of minds and that's all that mattered.

Well that's all he had thought had mattered as he tried to go back to sleep but sometime later he was not so sure he'd made the right decision as he was left trying to struggle his way across the room to use the facilities by himself. His head kept spinning which meant more than once he nearly ended up on the floor when his world narrowed then to make things worse the blanket that he had tied around his waist again worked itself loose which had him at a standstill half way across the floor. He couldn't let go of the pole to retie it with his balance issues, he had tried but the minute he let go he listed badly to one side so in the end he just let the blanket fall to the floor and he carried on regardless, modesty be damned... he needed to pee.

He didn't have the strength to keep standing any longer so for the first time since he was about two years old he found himself sitting down to relieve himself and somehow he just couldn't bring himself to care, he was just too damned tired now.

Killian was breathing heavily and his chest felt too tight again making him cough which in turn made his head spin as he sat there unable to get himself back to his bed. He groaned loudly and lent forward as a wave of nausea washed over him bringing him out in a cold sweat, Gods why did the universe hate him?

He gave a shiver regretting leaving his blanket behind but there was nothing he could do about that now, his eyes wandered to the shower in the corner and he wished with all his might that he could be standing under the warm water but there was no way he could do it, not by himself. Where was Whale? He'd not been in to check on him for a while, was this his punishment for not listening to the Doctor?

Killian lost track of time as he sat waiting on someone, anyone coming into his room but no one did, not for what felt like hours but finally he heard the door open and David calling his name.

"Hook? What the hell is his blanket doing here? Where is he?"

"Maybe they've taken him for more tests" Swan's voice spoke next and Killian sighed in relief, she would help him.

"SWAN" he called out as loudly as he could

"Hook?" her puzzled voice replied then her head appeared round the door but the minute she saw him she was rushing into the room and kneeling by his side.

"What the hell? Killian you're freezing. Come on, let's get you back to bed"

He shook his head slightly about to voice the fact that he couldn't move but stopped when his world spun again and he closed his eyes giving a groan as his stomach rolled ominously.

"Do you feel sick?" he heard her ask quietly

"Aye" he sighed out as he pulled in some deep breaths trying to calm his gut.

"Hang on" she said rubbing his back gently before getting to her feet and rushing to the door, he could hear her speaking in a hushed tone.

"Henry can you go find Whale please, Hook's not feeling too well. Dad can you help me?"

Killian heard the room door close then David's worried voice.

"What's going on?"

"I'm not sure but we need to get him back to bed, he's freezing. God knows how long he's been in there"

Emma walked back in with his blanket in her hand which she draped across his shoulders for which he was thankful, it may be warm outside but he felt like he'd been on an expedition to Arendelle .

"You ready to try and get back to bed?" she asked quietly and he just gave her a smile as affirmation.

They pulled him back to his feet and Emma adjusted the blanket so that he was covered then they slowly walked their way back through to the other room. Getting back into bed was almost beyond Killian and in the end David and Emma practically lifted him in. He just flopped back onto his pillows with his eyes clamped shut against the spinning room as his blankets were quickly pulled up around his shoulders.

"Killian" Emma spoke quietly, his head was pounding again but he peeked an eye open to see her worried face by his side. "Stay awake, Henry's getting Whale. He'll sort you out"

Killian closed his eyes again with a groan, he knew that this was his own fault, Whale had tried to warn him that he was still too ill and he'd been right but all Killian wanted now was to sleep. He didn't want to have to face the Doc, he didn't want to be proved wrong.

"Hey, it'll be OK" Emma soothed as she brushed her fingers through his hair, it felt nice and he lent into her touch taking comfort from her while he could knowing she was probably about to be very annoyed at him in the next few seconds.

"My fault" he said with another shiver "Whale tried..."

He was cut off by Whale coming into the room and interrupting him.

"What happened?" Whale barked out as he rushed over to the bedside.

"I'm not sure, I found him in there when we came in. I don't know how long he's been in there but the air-con was on and he had no clothes on, I think he's got chilled. He's also complaining of feeling sick again. What could have caused this? I thought he was doing better."

"The nausea is quite a common symptom, it's caused by the swelling in his brain effecting his balance, essentially he's feeling sea sick"

"A Pirate that suffers from sea sickness, who would have thought" David chuckled but Emma tutted loudly at him stopping him.

"It shouldn't last, as the swelling goes it should clear up" Whale replied and Killian breathed an internal sigh of relief, he couldn't live like this, feeling sick whenever he moved.

Whale moved quickly tugging back Killian's blanket slightly and placing his stethoscope down on his chest but the nausea that had been threatening to surface chose that moment to manifest itself and Killian found himself lurching forward to try and reach the side of the bed so that he wasn't sick on the bed.

"Someone hold him steady, don't let him fall" he heard Whale call and seconds later someone was doing that just as his stomach rolled again, he hadn't eaten anything so there was nothing to come up but that didn't stop his stomach from clenching time and time again.

Once the sickness died down he was gently turned over to lie on his back but it would seem Whale wasn't done with him just yet as he shone a bright light in his eyes causing Killian to moan again and try to bring his hand up to bat the light away.

"Hook will you just lie still" Whale admonished in a harsh tone

"Hey, don't shout at him" Emma sounded angry and Killian felt her grip his hand

"Well if he had listened to me earlier this wouldn't be happening now" Whale grit back defending himself.

"What's that supposed to mean?" David asked in a mocking tone

"Look. Last night he pulled out his Catheter. I don't know what the hell he was playing at but I think he was out of bed too for some reason, He wouldn't give me a straight answer and when I tried to put the Catheter back in he threatened me. I tried to tell him he was still too ill and that he needed it but he wouldn't listen. There's only so much I can do when a patient refuses treatment"

There was silence for a few seconds and Killian thought that he was about to be in so much trouble but he was surprised when David turned on Whale instead.

"So what? He didn't want to be peeing into a bag so you left him alone to get himself to the bathroom. He's not exactly been thinking clearly, you know that. Did you even think to come in and check on him? How long did you leave him? Huh Whale? Did you even think to leave a bed pan? God, you call yourself a Doctor. Look at him, you did that. He needed you and you left him because of your stubborn pride."

Whale didn't answer and when Killian peeked open an eye he saw David looking ready to commit murder. Whale looked just as pissed and they stood facing each other both unwilling to back down. On any other day Killian would have been interested to see who would have won the fight but right now he just wanted this to be over, he just wanted to feel better. His head felt like it was going to explode and another long moan left his lips instead of the words he was trying to form but it had the right effect as Swan suddenly came to his rescue.

"Would you two stop... Whale will you just help him and we can discuss blame later"

Killian felt the oxygen mask being placed back over his mouth and if he'd had the strength he would have tried to pull it off but he didn't so it remained in place as he continued to take in harsh rasping breaths but finally a few minutes later he felt the effects of whatever Whale had injected into him starting to work as the pain in his head dulled, he gave a heavy sigh and peeked his eyes open again to see Swan still by his side.

"Go to sleep Killian" she whispered but as he lay there he suddenly realized that Henry was standing by the door

"Henry... Liam's award" he managed to rasp as his hand starting searching his blankets again, where had he put the award?

"I've got it here Hook but you need to sleep, this can wait." Swan whispered and took his hand pressing the award into it.

Killian gripped the leather tightly as his eyes moved to the Lad but they kept closing without permission and the last thing he heard before sleep took him was Henry's voice.

"It's OK Killian, I'll be here when you wake up just go to sleep, Mom's right you need to rest"

ONCEUPONATIMEONCEUPONATIMEONCEUPONATIMEONCEUPONATIMEONCEUPONATIMEONCEUPONATIMEONCEUPONATIMEONCEUPONATIMEONCEUPONATIMEONCEUPONATIMEONCEUPONATIMEONCEUPONATIMEONCEUPONATIMEONCEUPONATIMEONCEUPONATIMEONCEUPONATIMEONCEUPONATIMEONCEUPONATIMEONCEUPONATIMEONCEUPONATIME

She just held his hand in her's as he clutched onto the leather pouch. She watched as he finally let sleep take him and sighed to herself, why did everything have to be so hard? He had been so much better, why had Whale left him so long? This whole thing could have been avoided.

Emma looked up at the Doctor as he injected something else into Hook's IV line, adjusted the oxygen mask and reattached him to the heart rate monitor.

She was waiting until he finished before she spoke not trusting herself to keep calm but before she had a chance to say a word her Dad spoke.

"Whale, I want to speak to you. In the corridor NOW" David practically growled, he didn't hang about to wait on an answer he just walked out the door leaving the Doctor in the room.

Whale looked uncomfortable for a second but he gave a small cough, tugged on his shirt collar and walked out the door.

"Do you think Grandpa is going to punch him?" Henry asked with a grin

"Henry! No, your Grandpa is not going to punch him." Emma chuckled but when she suddenly heard raised voices from the corridor her smile dropped and she cringed "Well I hope your Grandpa's not going to punch him"

Henry just grinned wider and sat down on the seat next to her, she watched as his eyes moved to Hook and a little frown appeared on his face.

"Is Killian going to be OK?" he asked tilting his head slightly to look at her

"He's going to be just fine Henry." she replied with a smile "But I think we might need to bring him in some pajamas before he frightens one of the poor nurses half to death, what do you say Kid?"

Henry gave a chuckle of his own "Might be a good idea, me and Grandpa can pick some up when he comes back, I mean Killian's probably going to asleep for a while, right?"

"Sounds like a plan"

The voices outside the door were getting hard to ignore and just as Emma was about to say to Henry that they could also bring back lunch the door swung open.

"YOU ARE GOING TO REGRET THIS... YOU HACK" David yelled down the corridor

"Yeah? Sue me?" Whale's voice carried from down the corridor, he had obviously walked away but David didn't seem to want to let it go.

"YEAH? YOU'LL NOT BE SAYING THAT WHEN I COME BACK WITH A WARRANT, I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH EVERYTHING... "

"Dad" Emma hissed "You're going to wake Hook up again, would you just get back in here"

He marched into the room and paced back and forth by the end of Hook's bed.

"Sorry Emma but that man is a fraud, who the hell in the their right mind would leave a man in ICU for that length of time by himself just because he wouldn't do what he wanted him to. I don't blame Hook, I wouldn't want to be peeing into a bag either"

"I know, I get it, I'm annoyed too but now is not the time. I think you need to calm down before you do anything. Why don't you and Henry go pick up some pajamas for Hook and maybe take some time. He's going to be sleeping for a while and I could do with some quiet to de-stress, you'll be doing me a favor plus it means that you can bring me back a grilled cheese" she finished with a grin

David stopped pacing and just stood with his hands on his hips breathing heavily.

"I swear one of these days I will punch that man but you're right, today is not that day." he gave a heavy sigh "Come on Henry, let's give these two some peace and quiet"

Henry stood up and lent in to hug Emma but as he pulled back his eyes were on Hook's hand.

"What's that?" he asked frowning slightly.

Emma fought hard to hide her smile

"You'll have to wait until Hook wakes up to ask him, I've not even seen what's in there so he might not want to share but you can ask"

"It must be something important to him for him to be holding it like that" but then he gasped and his eyes went wide in wonder "OR maybe it's treasure, you know diamonds and rubies"

"Maybe" Emma replied with a chuckle "Now would you two get outta here before you wake him up"

David came over and hugged her goodbye too and when they finally left her with her Pirate she felt exhausted. She lent back in her seat and closed her eyes and even though it wasn't even ten am she knew that she could easily sleep but her eyes opened again quickly when she heard Hook moving on the bed.

"Swan?" he mumbled furrowing his brow at her.

"Hey, it's OK. Go back to sleep, I'm here, I'm not going anywhere"

But he looked around the room and frowned further "Henry?"

"He's coming back don't worry, Dad's just taken him to get you some pajamas and to bring back lunch"

"Good" he breathed out as he closed his eyes again but after a few breaths he peeked an eye open again and frowned then asked "You alright Love?"

"I'm fine, I just didn't sleep very well last night" she said squeezing his hand but she couldn't help it when she gave a yawn "Sorry, go back to sleep. I'll be fine"

But before she could stop him he shuffled over on the bed and tapped the mattress grinning widely at her through the oxygen mask.

"Come on Swan... you know you want to. You can't resist this body"

"Oh be still my beating heart" she laughed "Yeah, those spots are definitely doing it for me"

But he wouldn't give in and he reached up to tug the mask off leaving it around his neck "Come on Love, I've missed you"

Damn him, he knew exactly what to say to get what he wanted. She sighed bending down to take off her boots.

"OK, you win but you sleep. You need to remember that you're not well. I don't want a repeat of what happened earlier Hook, you scared me"

"Sorry" he whispered lowering his gaze and Emma was struck by the fact that he suddenly looked like a little boy who had been naughty and it tugged on her heart strings.

"Hey, it's OK. But just promise me that there'll be no more wandering about at night, Whale said you were out of bed. What were you doing?" she pulled herself up onto the mattress as she spoke and as she tucked herself into his side he brought his hand around her back to rest it on her waist.

"I was looking at the stars" he sighed into her hair then dropped a kiss onto the crown of her head

"I might have known" Emma chuckled "OK, here's a deal for you. You stop wandering around at night until you're better and we'll go stargazing together when you get out of here"

"Deal" he said without hesitation pulling her in closer.

She looked up at him and shifted sightly pulling the mask back up over his mouth.

"That stays on until Whale says it can come off." he sighed but she was glad to see he didn't argue.

She snuggled in closer to his side and let her hand settle on his chest, she had missed this too and with the steady beat of his heart in her ear she was lulled into a peaceful sleep.
