Jump through a portal together they did, with no thanks to Gold however. Surprise, surprise. But they didn't need him. As usual she was the key to it all; she just had to believe again. And thanks to Killian she was able to and her magic returned.

It was a bit of a painful landing but they arrived back in Storybrooke in one piece thankfully. Killian righted himself then helped her up just as their companion started to stir. The woman would probably have one hell of a headache from the blow to the head as well as the swarm of questions she'd no doubt have. And she'd love to stick around, not, but she couldn't wait another minute to see her parents.

"Hey, do me a favor. Fill her in and make sure she doesn't freak out." She told him and was ready to leave when he grabbed her arm.

"Of course, love." He nodded. "I know how eager you are to see your parents and our boy. But before you go…"

He leaned in for a kiss. It was short and chaste, considering there was an audience and he knew she wanted to get going. But she was glad he had taken the time to make her 'stop and smell the roses' so to speak.

"This is how things should have been the first time you came back here." He whispered leaning his forehead against hers.

"Yeah, but now we can appreciate this all the more." She smiled then sent him a knowing look. "And I plan to appreciate this very much later on."

She gave him another quick peck then took off running towards Granny's.

Emma entered the diner where the celebration was still going on. What had been days for her had only been a couple hours maybe for them. It only took a second for her to spot her parents and a couple more to cross the room and throw her arms around both of them. It was a little awkward with the baby and they were both a bit shocked but this time there was still love despite it. They knew who she was.

"You weren't answering your cell, we were worried." Her dad told her with concern. If he only knew that that should be the least of his concerns.

"I'm fine, I'm home." She told them both and those words had never felt so good.

Henry jumped out of the booth and came to give her a hug as well. She hadn't realized how much she'd missed him too until now. Not much time had passed here but she could have sworn he'd grown another inch.

"I missed you, kid." She told him and gave his shoulder an extra squeeze before she went back to her parents. "Mom, Dad, I missed you."

They probably didn't understand why she missed them so much or why she was so emotional. But that didn't stop them from holding her just the way she needed right now. All the hurt from the past few days of being with them but not being with them was pushed away with their arms holding her close.

"Emma, are you sure you're alright. You look like you haven't seen us for days." Her mom asked when they separated and they took seats at their booth.

"That's probably because I haven't, not really." She admitted and waited for Granny to finish passing out the cocoa before delving into the story. "Zelena's portal opened and Killian and I went through it. We ended up in the Enchanted Forest, right next to a tree with a wanted poster."

It wasn't long at all before Henry started reading along in his storybook as she continued. And sure enough there was a struggle in David's chamber instead of an armed carriage robbery. But some things could never be changed as her mom still managed to hit him and leave a scar.

Then Henry turned the page and she saw something she wasn't expecting. Before there was just a picture of David and Abagail looking bored and a few paragraphs about David's thoughts on the female bandit he was determined to find. But now 'Leia' and 'Charles' had front stage as they danced at the ball. Killian was smiling and she was laughing. To know that that moment was forever captured and part of not just the book but her parents' story was overwhelming.

"Wait, you're Princess Leia?" Her mom asked.

"Nice alias." Henry teased.

"I was in a pinch." She replied in self-defense but she was too happy to be back to take any real offense.

Of all the princesses at least she picked one that could handle herself and wasn't a damsel in distress. Not to mention Leia fell in love with a man that was a bit of a pirate in his own way.

"Well, there you go. You're officially one of us." Her dad stated and sent her a warm smile.

"A fairytale princess at last." Her mom added proudly.

"Yeah, and as my first 'princessy' request, I would like to know the name of the baby." She stated with a mock air of authority.

And like a true king her dad gathered everyone's attention.

"The arrival of our new son has been the cause of great joy for our family. And we hope you can share in it as we name him for a hero, well two heroes actually. They've helped save every one of us over the years. We all love them and they in return have loved us back and in a way opened their home to us with their hospitality. And one of them has always been a remarkable to Snow and me as well. And the other is like a grandmother to us all."

"People of Storybrooke," Her mother continued. "It is with great joy we introduce you to our son…Prince Lucas."

"To Granny and Red!" Her dad toasted as everyone in the diner clapped in congratulations.

"It is so nice to meet you, Lucas." Emma said with a smile as she reached across and let her brother grip her finger in his tiny little hand.

"That is such a cool name. Can we call him Luke for short?" Henry excitedly asked his grandparents and it was impossible to miss the mischievous hint in his smile.

"I don't see why not." Her dad shrugged as it dawned on her why Henry was so excited.

"Well, I do!" She emphatically stated. "You have got to be kidding me."

"What?" Her mom asked in concern.

"Hello, if we call him Luke when I'm Princess Leia…what's next Darth Vader starts terrorizing Storybrooke?" She pointed out in exasperation.

"I don't think you have to worry about that, Emma. That would make me Anakin Skywalker. And while I am very skilled with a sword and I would do anything to protect my family I wouldn't turn to the dark side to do it." David reassured her but she didn't appreciate his patronizing.

"Well, while you guys show off Prince Lucas, I'm going to go make sure Han Solo hasn't been frozen in carbonite." She stated sarcastically and headed outside to find Killian sitting with his flask at one of the outside tables.

"Hey, what are you doing out here?" She asked as she took the seat next to him, at the same table they'd sat at a few days ago with Henry after he got his memories back. Or was it a week ago now?

"Just enjoying the peace and quiet after dealing with a panicked and confused woman." He replied quietly and took a sip from his flask.

"Yeah, sorry about that." She said and gave him an apologetic smile.

"It's alright, love. How were things with your parents? They announced the name of the little royal I take it from all the cheers a few minutes ago."

"It felt good, being back here, but even better to see them again. And my little brother's name is Lucas, after Granny and Ruby for being there through all these years. Little do they know, Ruby also helped save their daughter." She told him. "I didn't get to go over the entire story with them, but we're in the book now. Rumpelstiltskin said that everything besides our little adventure would go back to normal. Do you think that it is?"

"He's right. Otherwise I'd remember that damn bar wench I kissed." He stated, still put out that once again he was forced to forget time spent together with her.

"How would that prove anything? It could have just been the curse."

"If it was the curse then why didn't I also forget you when you knocked me out at the lake? The curse aside, love, I would have at least recognized you when you found me after Cora's attack. Or when you kissed me because I know how you kiss and I would have gone after you in the past. But I didn't. My life went on exactly the same as before."

"Yeah, must have been the rum." She nodded sympathetically.

Before she and Henry left Storybrooke last year, the thought of forgetting her parents and Killian hurt. But she never really forgot Killian just their more recent time together. And the past was buried in the back of her mind until he showed up, bringing it all to the surface. But he had truly forgotten for centuries. And even though he remembered their past, he'd probably never remember what took place with the 'bar wench'.

"You know, earlier at the inn in the Enchanted Forest, I told you I had a confession to make. But then we got sidetracked. With Hook, I wanted to know how he got the hook as a way of flirting. But now I want to know, what really made you leave the Jolly Roger behind? I know you said curses work differently than magic beans but you wouldn't have just abandoned her and left her to chance. And you've skated around the question every time I've asked before."

"Well, the curse was coming. I ditched my crew and took the Jolly Roger as fast and as far as I possible could to outrun it." He replied and she didn't detect a lie.

"I know you're a hell of a captain but there's more to it than that. How did you get to me in New York?" She asked, knowing he was still trying to avoid the real answer she wanted.

"Once I was outside the curse's purview, I knew that the walls were down. Transport between the worlds was possible again; all I needed was a magic bean."

"Those are not easy to come by." She stated, knowing from personal experience. If they never found one the first time, and it took stealing from a giant the second, how in the realms had he done it now?

"They are if you've got something of value to trade." He told her and looked down at his hand, avoiding her eyes.

"And what was that?" She asked with a smirk, humoring him and waiting for him to get to the point.

"Why the Jolly Roger of course." He stated with a bittersweet smile, looking her dead in the eyes.

"You gave up your ship for me?" She whispered.

Twenty-twenty hindsight it made sense and she felt stupid for not putting the pieces together sooner. Of course he would do something like that for her. She'd lost track of how many times he'd told her that the Jolly was no longer his home and that she was.

"Aye," He replied with a single nod.

That simple gesture of confirmation filled her with an overwhelming amount of emotions. She wished that he didn't have to give up something he held so close to get to her. But she knew he'd do it a hundred times over and it was that realization that filled her heart with even more love for him. And just as natural as that decision must have been for him, she leaned closer until her lips reached his, kissing him and letting him feel every ounce of love she had for him.

"Emma! What are you doing here?" David asked, a bit startled, when he opened the loft door the next morning. "I mean it's good to see you. Did we have something planned that I forgot?"

"No, Dad, nothing planned." She shook her head and tried not to laugh. "Just thought I'd bring breakfast over for you guys. I also want to talk to Mom. She up?"

"Yeah, she's getting your brother dressed." He replied after covering up a big yawn.

"He keeping you guys up late?" She asked even though the answer was very clear.

"Late nights, even earlier mornings, you name it."

"And he's not even the one breastfeeding him in the middle of the night." Her mom stated as she entered the kitchen. "Morning, Emma. Where are Henry and Hook?"

"I bought a cell phone after we defeated Zelena, and being as Storybrooke technically shouldn't exist, it didn't arrive until now. So they went to pick it up as a way of father-son bonding." She answered and grabbed a bear claw out of the bag she brought from Granny's.

"That should be nice for the two of them." Her mom nodded and passed Lucas off to his daddy.

"Yeah, and I was thinking Dad and Lucas can have a little bonding time too while you and I go out together. Zelena's been taken care of and who knows how long we'll get to enjoy the quiet time." She suggested to her.

"Oh, I loved to, but…"

"No buts, Mary Margaret, it's a great idea and you're going. Luke and I will be fine for a couple hours. You and Emma go do…whatever it is girls like to do. I've got it covered." David told her.

"See, he's got Lucas covered. And I promise we'll stick to Main Street, Dad will keep his phone nearby, and we'll be back by noon I promise."

"Okay, you're right and I've got to do this some time I guess. Just let me grab my coat." Her mom sighed and gave in.

"I forgot to tell David that I used up all the wipes this morning and he needs to get a new pack!" Mary Margaret stated in a panic as soon as they got across the street from the loft.

"Mom, I think he can figure that out." Emma reassured her and couldn't help but laugh a little.

"Right, sorry, this is supposed to be about us." She apologized and shook her head. "So, what do you want to do? To talk about?"

"I thought this would be a good time to fill you in on the past I had with Killian. You know, girl talk, like we did when you were just Mary Margaret my roommate. I know we've been meaning to, but after what happened in the past, I don't want to put it off any longer."

"What hap…that's right, that was you. Oh I am so sorry." She said and gave her a crushing hug. "You shouldn't have had to see that. And when Blue changed me back I…oh, Emma."

"It…it's okay, I knew you didn't know. If anything it just made me more determined to get back, so we could do this." She told her and took a deep breath then gave her a smile.

"I love you, Emma." She stated and gave her one last squeeze then pulled away. "So, you went through a portal, met Killian, fell in love, got engaged, got married, came back to our world, you had Henry, and you two are true love. Now, give me the details, like I did when I had feelings for your father during the curse and went out with Whale."

"Okay…I'd still rather not think about that last one." Emma cringed; glad they weren't still hugging when she said that. "Anyway, I remember the first time I got sick on the Jolly Roger. Killian was worried I'd gotten pneumonia but it was just a really bad cold. He moved me from my quarters to his and forced me to stay in bed for a week. At first I felt like crap so I really appreciated it but after two days I was ready to slap him. Actually I did."

"Sounds like your father during the first few months of both pregnancies. He insisted I eat toast in bed every morning before I did anything else to prevent me from getting sick. Well, I didn't get sick as in throwing up, but I did get sick of eating plain toast constantly. So, one day I threw it at him and yelled at him for feeding me like a prisoner." Her mom told her, and they both started laughing. "He learned his lesson after that. And with Lucas he was still overly cautious, but he didn't force feed me the toast."

"Ugh, I can't imagine what Killian would have been like if he was around." She shook her head. "Actually I do know. He'd drive me crazy. But somehow I still wish we'd had that experience, you know."

"Yeah, I know. All those years I felt I missed out with you, I always thought about your first steps and first word. I didn't think about things like squirming during diaper changes and the restless nights. But it's worth it." Her mom nodded and Emma could see the bags under her eyes and was about to offer to babysit when…

"We're under attack!" Someone, who could only be good ol' Leroy, yelled.

There you have it folks, the newest addition to the Charming family has a name! I got the idea while writing Charles and Leia at the ball which made me wanna watch Star Wars and I just couldn't pass it up because I'm mlre of a geek than I realize. No offense intended to anyone who likes Neal though. And I hope you liked the ending. I intended it to be more CS fluff but that scene is already perfect so why fix what ain't broke? And I've been meaning to do some mother-daughter stuff for a while. Next Monday's chapter is called Learning and involves a cell phone, a bet, a girl who doesn't get bothered by the cold, and some overdue father-son time with Killian and Henry. So please review I really appreciate each and every one, thanks so much you guys!
