Author's Note: Hey sorry for the long wait! I know I hate me too. Well after the date I didn't really know what to write. I've written quite a few date one-shots already. Then after last week's episode me muse returned and came up with his not so great but okay one-shot. I've always imagined what happened to Emma's glasses. I've always wondered if she wore contacts, and if she did then what happened if she wore her glasses again?

Yes, so I've been writting this all week but I've had this terrible migraine for about 2 weeks almost and it has just slowed down so I started to finish this. Not my best work, it's pretty terrible near the end but k wanted to give you guys something. Hopefully something better next week.

Another thing, seriously over 60 followers?! That's amazing, you guys are the best! And I've rambled on too much.

Spoilers: 4x05 onwards.

Summary: Post 4x05, Set directly after 4x05 and then going on the next day, what happens when Emma's contacts accidently are dropped down the sink?

I still don't own Once Upon a Time, never will.

Glasses

"Who's the other lass?" Killian asked as they watched the screen in front of them.

"Just an old friend." She said barely above a whisper. Her eyes were already watery watching her younger self and Lily so happy on the screen. She just stared at her teenage self. So happy, so free, for those few moments.

Soon enough Killian's arm came around her shoulder, their hands still intertwined. She leaned her head on his shoulder for comfort. She closed her eyes listening to their giggles. She heard the fuzzy noise you hear when a video has ended and the next voice startled her.

"Hey, look what the new girl brought with her." Her eyes flung open and she lifted her head slowly off his shoulder. The 'new girl' was a name she heard too many times in her childhood.

"Where is that?" Killian asked looking to her. She tried to look in the back of her mind of anything she remembered of that boy or place.

"I don't really remember." She said, not being able to find anything. "Maybe my next foster home?" Most memories of foster homes, Especially the bad ones she tried to block out. They always seeped back into her dreams somehow.

"Blocked it out? Unpleasant time?" Killian suggested as though reading her mind.

"I guess." She said quickly still staring at the screen. It wasn't like her to forget things. She had a good memory, that's why she was so good at her job. Especially with names and faces. Why can't she remember a trace of this place?

"Who's that? Another friend?" He said referring to the boy she still stared at the screen.

"I don't remember any of this." She claimed memorised by the screen. She spotted herself in the background. They both turned around.

"Give it back Kevin. It's Emma's not yours." She feels her mouth drop open and let go of his hand in surprise. She had to do a double take of what she was seeing. That ice witch was in her childhood video?

"Bloody hell." Killian exclaimed, his arm coming off from around her shoulders. "Is that?" He stopped in his tracks.

"We do respect property in this house, Emma." The women comes up to the camera and she grabs the remote to pause it, as soon as the ice witch's face covers the screen. That defiantly is her.

"Yeah." Is all she can say. After a few moments of silence from the shock she turns to Killian. "I don't remember any of this, how- how is this possible?" She asks glancing back at the screen.

"I don't know love. It's seems she has the power to remove memories. It's happened to Elsa as well." After a moment she turns the TV off. She walks over to the camera and unplugs it.

"In the morning we can try and figure it out, I'm too tired now and I'm sure everyone else is asleep anyway." She says wrapping up the cord. She picks up the camera going back to the desk, packing the memories away back into the box. She puts it back in its place, camera still on desk. Killian has already walked over.

"I agree love. You look worn out, what did you exactly do today?" He asked. She knew it was his effort to try and distract her, so she let him. She needed it. She started locking up and switching everything off as she told him the simple story.

"Well after you left Elsa found some pictures of when k first arrived in Storybrooke, which is another long story for another time. One of them was a picture of me,may the looks of it, arguing with this ice witch." She said putting on her jacket. Being the gentleman he is, he helped her win it.

"Let me guess, you don't remember the conversation?" Killian suggested.

"No I don't, so I went or see Regina about it, she refused to help so I thought I would figure it out by myself. Then Elsa went missing." She said locking the door to the sheriff's station.

"Long story short I ran into Regina in the forest, there was a lot of talking, convincing, falling ice staircases, more snow monsters, and a lot of use of magic. If it wasn't for Elsa Regina and I would be dead." She finished off leaning on her bug.

"Sounds like quite the adventure love, and also sounds like you almost got killed a number of times, again." He came to wrap his arms around her. She put the video camera on the top of the car and put her own arms around him.

"You're not the only one good at surviving." She said with a small smile.

"And I'm glad for that." He said leaning in for a kiss. It was hard and he had he against her own car. She was too tired to fight back so she let him take control of the kiss. A soon while later they broke apart panting, resting on each other's foreheads.

"I'm drained physically, emotionally and magically. What do you say about heading home?" She asks looking him in the eyes.

"Sure thing love, you can take me back to Granny's." He starts to pull away but stops him and pulls him closer.

"Wait, don't go yet. Come home with me?" He smirked.

"I would love to love, but I do believe as you put it last night, your parents, a newborn and a human ice maker are currently sharing your home. I don't think we'll get the privacy we need." She didn't roll her eyes.

"I don't mean it like that, I mean I don't want to leave you yet." She tugged on his jacket looking up to meet his eyes.

"As you wish." She smiled and gave him a quick but meaningful kiss before hoping in the driver's seat. Killian grabbed the camera and entered the passenger's side. They drove towards the apartment.

Once inside she locked the door by the massive medieval looking lock that August had put on the door before the curse broke. Whoever was last one awake would lock it every night. It would usually be her. She turned around and Killian put his good hand on the door.

"So what are we going to do now love?" He asked twirling a loose strand of hair with his hook. She started to lean in but stopped.

"Sleep." She said and moving away.

"I don't know about you, but I'm not tired yet." He said quietly. She walked over to the table and placed the camera down on it.

"Sleep sounds nice, but after seeing that video I don't think I can." She admitted leaning on the table.

"Well then why don't you make us some hot chocolates and we can talk? I would volunteer to make them but I don't know how, and as you can see I have one hand." She smiles and makes them both hot chocolates.

After a dash of cinnamon she picks them up and takes them over to the couch where Killian is sitting. She hands one to him.

"I'm starting to like this 'quiet moments' thing of yours." She says before taking a sip. They talk for, well she doesn't know how long. But soon the half full mugs are sitting on the floor as they kiss. Again, she doesn't know how long for.

She breaks away with a smile. "Hey I'm getting tired." She says as he pulls her closer anyway.

"I didn't know I tired you out that much love." He said with his own smirk. Their foreheads were still touching.

"I think the hot chocolates are starting to take affect, I've had a long day." She says leaning away so she can look at him properly, her arms are around his neck.

"And I'm sure tomorrow will be another one. I will get going." He says standing up, again she stops him from doing so.

"It's too late now, just stay here." Without too much hesitation he replies.

"As you wish love." She smiles and gives him a quick kiss.

"I'm going to get into something more comfy. Don't go anywhere." Part of her was saying that he was going to leave, but she trusted him now so she pushed down the thought.

"Okay." He replied simply. She went up to her room upstairs and put on pyjama shorts and top. She then went to the bathroom to take her contacts out. She remembered the first day she got contacts. The glasses her reminded her of her time with Neal, for some strange reason she can't remember when she got the glasses.

She was half blind without the contacts but could still see most shapes and figures, enough to get around the house. She came out of the bathroom and Killian had just finished washing the mugs and held her hand.

"Feel better now?" He asked as they walked over to the couch.

"Yep." She said sitting next to him on the couch. She planted a kiss on his lips. "Goodnight Killian." She said wrapping her arms around his waist and leaning her head on his shoulder.

"Goodnight Emma." He said, and they drifted off into the world of sleep.

She was woken to the sounds of her busy family in the kitchen. The sounds of plates, and the smell of toast burning. The talking and her brother crying. "Good morning Swan." Said a familiar voice.

She opened her eyes and looked up to him, "Morning." She said. He planted a kiss on her cheek as they sat up.

"Nice to see you two awake." Her father said taking Neal off her mother. Henry and Elsa were sitting at the table having cereal and toast while David was trying to calm Neal down, and her mother taking out black toast.

"Burnt toast, my favourite." She said sarcastically. Killian offered his hand to her and she stood up from the couch.

"You try cooking toast with a crying baby and a full house." Her mother said throwing the toast in the bin.

She went upstairs and got dressed and did her hair up in a pony tail. She learnt to do it without contacts in, even if they were easier. She came down the stairs and went straight to the bathroom to put her contacts in.

She thought about last night. That ice witch was from her past and she couldn't remember. Then she remembered when Killian and her were on the couch, the kiss... Suddenly she came back to reality and her contacts accidentally fell down the sink.

It took her a second to process what had just happened. "Damn it." She cursed closing the now empty container of contacts and coming out of the bathroom.

"Emma is there something wrong? I heard you curse in there." Killian asked with concern. She really wish she could see him properly.

"I dropped my contacts down the sink." She said frustrated.

"You wear contacts?" Her mother asked taking a not-burnt plate of toast and putting it on the table.

"You didn't know she wore contacts?" Henry asked from his seat. The thought never crossed her mind that her parents didn't know she wore contacts, or had glasses.

"What are contacts?" Killian asked facing her.

"They help me see better because I'm half blind without them. Their like glasses." He seemed to understand. "I need you to go to the station and get my glasses, remember you saw them last night?"

No one else knows about that box, and she can't drive there herself. "Why are you asking him?" Her father asked pouring some orange juice.

"Because he is the only one who knows where it is." She said turning to face him. "Can you get it?" She asked.

"Of course." He said. She instructed him of which key it was to open the station and the desk. Soon enough he was off and out the door.

"I've got them love." Killian said as he came through the door. She was sitting on the couch and saw he didn't just have the glasses. Her glasses weren't big and white. He handed the glasses to her and she put them on. It had been a while since she wore them, not since not too long after jail.

Everything was clear and she saw her box with her childhood things in it open. Her blanket was still in there and the small brown box was sitting on the table open, and Henry was looking in it. "Thanks." She said standing up.

She passed Killian and went straight to the table where Henry held the picture of her and Neal. The blank expression on Henry's face did not tell her much of what he was thinking. She felt a pang of sadness wash over herself.

"Killian I didn't ask you to bring the whole box, just the glasses." She said. She didn't say it angrily, she said it just above a whisper. The whole apartment was silent.

"Sorry." He said from behind her.

"Henry, are you okay?" She asked and he didn't stop looking at the picture.

"Yeah, it's just, you and dad look so happy." He put the picture down and looked up at her. She gave him a sad smile.

"I know we were, once." She avoided everyone else's gazes when her eyes landed on the video camera which was next to the box. She picked it up.

"That reminds me, last night Killian and I found something." The silence broke as her father came closer to the table.

"Something to do with the snow queen?" He asked.

"Yes." She said going over to the TV. She plugged in all the cords as everyone gathered around. It played and her and Lilly came up on the screen. She wasn't sure how to fast forward so she just stepped away so everyone else could see.

"Who's that?" Her mother asked. There was another wash of sadness and regret. Killian pulled her closer.

"Just an old friend." She told them, just like she had told Killian the night before. After what felt like a lifetime the video changed to what she wanted them to see.

"This is what we wanted to show you. It was a foster home I was in, but I don't remember any of it at all." She explained to them as their eyes were glued to the screen.

"How has this got to do with the snow queen?" Elsa spoke up for the first time. Just at the right moment the snow queen popped up on the screen.

"No way."

"How is this possible?"

"I don't know." She replied and paused it in the same place as last night. "I think I might know who could possibly know, but I've got to find them first." She thought of Sidney, he could know. Except he is a mirror and he betrayed Regina.

"I'll help with the search." Killian said coming closer to her. She smiled at him.

"Okay, I want to start the search before something drastic happens to the town, again." She said grabbing her tan jacket. Killian grabbed his own jacket from the lounge.

"Well then, be safe." Her father said taking some dishes to the sink. She gave him a curious look.

"You're not coming?" When did he let her go off after someone he doesn't know with Killian?

"We're going to try and see if we can find Anna again." Her father said from behind the sink. Her mother went up next to him holding Neal. While Henry and Elsa stood there.

"Okay then, we'll be off." She said pushing her glasses back up her nose. Killian put his hand on the small of her back and lead her out the door.

They went down to the car and got in, but she didn't start it. She just sat there thinking about her glasses. To anyone else they were just something to help someone see, to her it was so much more. So many memories she didn't want to relive.

She remembers when Neal used to steal her glasses, she would have to chase what she hoped was his figure. Then when she lost him he would come up behind her and kiss her senseless. The memory wasn't bad, it was just one of those good moments before the bad.

Then there were bad memories. She remembers being teased about her glasses at school. Yet she still didn't remember when she got the.

"Emma? Are you okay?" Killian asked putting his hand over her's. She looked at their hands.

"Not really." She told him taking off her glasses. "These glasses just remind me of the past. Good and bad moments." She looked up to meet his eyes. She felt like opening up to him.

"I used to be made fun of because of these glasses." She said plainly. Killian took her glasses from her hands and carefully put them on her.

"I think you look beautiful as you always do." He said cupping her face win his one hand. She smiled and leaned in to kiss him.

Then all those teasing comments about her glasses went away.
