Let the Hook Queen ship set sail. A thank you to tap-Violeta, Anny Rodrigues, Keyhlan, and a guest for your reviews.
The night seemed to grow colder still and with it Hook grew more irritated. He'd always been able to fall asleep pretty easily, so why not tonight? He felt Regina shiver in her sleep. At least she was sleeping, and since it had become prevalent that he would not be joining her he decided he may as well spare her the rest of the blanket. He wrapped it around her slightly shaking body, like back down, and placed her head back on his chest. She shifted positions and whimpered softly. Upon closer observation Hook realized the Queen was crying softly in her sleep. "You must be having some dream." Hook muttered gently running his only hand through her hair. Regina jolted awake and wiped the tears away. "You alright your majesty?" Hook asked.
"Fine. I'm fine." Regina answered running a hand through her hair, a sign of clear distress. "I'm just cold, kind of hungry, and…"
"You can't sleep. Neither can I." Hook cut her off. "What were you dreaming about?"
"Daniel." Regina answered quite bitterly.
"Boyfriend?" Hook asked.
"Dead fiancé." Regina answered.
"Seems we have something in common. A certain crocodile ripped the heart out of my lover." Hook pointed out.
"My own mother ripped the heart out of mine…" Regina trailed off.
"I don't suppose I'm the only one who hasn't quite gotten over it." Hook answered.
"You're not. If I recall we touched on our desires for revenge." Regina replied softly.
Hook pulled her into a hug. "Perhaps we can help each other heal." He muttered in her ear.
"Perhaps." Regina whispered letting herself lean against Hook. It was in that position she manage to find a peaceful sleep. And in that position that Hook eventually found the same. Regina was the first to awaken in the morning, the early morning sun flooded over her through the trees. Upon realizing she was still in Hook's arms a light blush colored her cheeks.
Hook yawned. "Morning your majesty." He placed a kiss on forehead.
"Good morning Hook." Regina returned the greeting. "We better get back to the water, I'm sure neither of us want to spend another night out here."
"You have a good point." Hook agreed. He lead the way back to the boat. "You can make us another boat right?" He asked upon observing that their boat had acquired a fairly large hole in it.
"I can do that." Regina answered and repeated the maneuver that made their first boat. This time nothing appeared before them. She tried again—nothing. "I..I don't know what's wrong." Regina stammered.
"It's probably nothing." Hook assured her.
"Well how are we going to get home now?" Regina asked.
"Isn't it obvious, we walk." Hook answered.
"Just lovely." Regina responded.
"I can carry you if you'd like." Hook suggested.
Regina allowed herself a laugh. "You would really carry me all the way back to the Jolly Roger?" In response hook lifted her off the ground.
"Sure thing your majesty." Hook answered.
"I suppose I'd rather be alone with you than be stuck on a small boat with Emma, Gold, and the two idiots. The only one I miss is Henry." Regina decided.
"Don't worry your majesty you'll be back with Henry in no time." Hook promised.
