Disclaimer: You know who I own and who I don't. Unless, maybe I am one of the writers. Right. Because they would be writing this crappy fanfiction. I think not.

, thank you for reviewing. You made me so happy. Also, if any of you have seen the Hook Jello deleted scene, imagine this takes place instead of it, but it happens after Rumplestiltskin finds Baelfire.

Chapter 10

Emma

"How did they know you?" I asked Neal, or Baelfire, or whatever he was calling himself these days, my hands on my hips. His brown eyes went up and down my body and a small smirk appeared on his face. A repressed memory appeared, of him telling me that he knew I meant business whenever I had my hands on my hips, appeared and I pushed it back. He hurt me. I was not going to allow him to do so again.

"I have no idea," He said, rubbing his chin. "He called me Baelfire, which leads me to think that he knew me back in the Enchanted Forest, but he is way too young."

"Way too young," I agreed, making my voice hard. Just another lie of his, about how old he was. His face softened and he reached forward as if to touch me. I backed away and walked towards Mary Margaret in an effort of concealing it.

"Hey," She greeted me. I nodded at her. "I was just going to check and make sure that Hook was still in his bed."

"Good idea," I agreed, shaking the images of Neal out of my mind. I needed to focus. Hook just appeared in Storybrooke and shot Belle. "Mind if I join you?"

"Of course," Mary Margaret said, sounding immensely pleased.

Right.

Checking on a homicidal pirate was mother and daughter bonding time.

Emma shook her head as she followed after Mary Margaret, stopping short when she saw Hook talking to someone in the hallway. She stopped Mary Margaret and stared at him, unsure if he was going to pull out a gun and shoot this girl too.

They didn't look like they were arguing. Were they flirting?

They were definitely flirting. Hook was leaning in towards her, his chin dipped down, and the girl was definitely reciprocating.

Wait. Was that the girl that Gold had to save?

What was she doing up and about and flirting with a pirate?

"Hook," I drawled, catching his attention easily. I noted with surprise that his gaze flickered between me and the girl. Good. Maybe that would rid him of his infernal crush on me. "What are you doing out of bed?"

"Pirate," He said bluntly. The girl giggled, her fingertips pressed against her lips.

"You'd think that would be a reason why you never leave your bed," She grinned and Hook smiled. I shot her a startled look and she shrugged.

Gold suddenly appeared, his gaze darkening when he saw Hook. The little boy from earlier was by his side and he grinned at me.

"Get away from the girl," Gold growled at Hook. "She wants nothing to do with you."

"On the contrary, she was flirting quite avidly with me," Hook said, pleased with himself.

"You were?" Gold asked, sending a betrayed look towards her. "Do you know what he did?"

"I presume he's done a lot of things," The girl said calmly.

"He shot your mother,"
