I do not own Once Upon a Time.


Six months later.

Killian was able to reform The Lost Boys and booked a free concert in the park. And it was a packed house. Good music was able to bring people together. It felt good to play music, he never wanted to stop doing what he loved. And he knew his brother was looking down, proud and happy for him. That was all Killian evert wanted in life. A purpose, a passion and a love.

Neal was fully enjoying the concert from backstage. Sophia was dancing and he couldn't stop himself from joining in. But then he looked around, where was Tara?


The sound guy was confused when he was handed a disc. But he had learned a long time ago not to question her.


The song was just ending as Tar walked out onto the stage. She had a microphone in her hand and butterflies in her stomach. She did not expect to be this nervous. "You guys sound great." She said to Killian, Will and… she still unfortunately hadn't learned the names of the other two members. "Ladies, not hard on the eyes, is he? Well, you have to get through me first." Tara told the audience.

"Someone already got past you, sister. I'm taken. Sorry, ladies." Killian said.

Tara stared at him. What? When had that happened? And who? He motioned to the first row and Emma waved.

"Oh, looks like I owe someone $5." Tara said under her breath.

"You put bets on it?" Killian sounded shocked.

"Yes. And back to why I am on this stage, you need a woman's voice here…" She picked up a guitar and slipped the strap over her head.

"Tara, what are you doing?" Killian wasn't sure what was going on.

Tara only shyly grinned as the music began to play. Killian instantly recognized it. "There's a low rock wall, by the Cliff of Mohar…"

Killian couldn't believe his eyes and ears. Tara was singing, for the first time since Graham's death. He had to keep a grip on his emotions, which was the hardest thing he had ever had to do. He looked across the stage and saw Neal fighting a losing with his own emotions. Sophia just stood there, stunned. She had no idea her mother could sing.

Killian's fingers found the strings of his own guitar. He had to be a tiny part of this.

"You're never die because you'll live on inside me…"

The song ended and the front two rows, the ones reserved for family and friends exploded with applause. They understood how important this moment was.

Tara smiled through her happy tears and tried to run off the stage.

But Killian wasn't having it. Not yet. He grabbed her arm. "Do a duet with me?"

"I was only planning one song…" Tara was being honest, ease back in to singing. Plus, she owed her husband and daughter a hug.

Killian didn't let go of her. "When the storm is raging and thunder rolls…"

She knew that song but really? Singing in Gaelic was not easing back into it. But the words filled her mind and she couldn't help herself.

Graham would be proud of her as he looked down. So was Liam and her father. She had finally let go of the past. And Kilian had hope for a wonderful future.


OMG Tara is finally singing again.
