Chapter 1: Strange Dream

Henry pounced up out of bed when he heard the buzz from his nightstand go off, it was his tenth birthday! Finally! Henry said to himself as he ran out of his bedroom and down the hall. Jumping onto his father's bed, "Wake up! Dad, It's my Birthday! Wake up!" Henry shouted excitedly while jumping, trying to get his father out of bed.

Killian's face was still in the pillow, "Nope, I could've sworn your Birthday was last year" Killian teased.

"Well, that's kind of the things with Birthday's they happen every year" Henry said with a big smile.

"Oh, is that so?" Killian asked his son as he jumped up, knocking Henry on his back and started tickling him.

"Dad! S-stop...it" Henry demanded as he laughed, he was a very ticklish boy. He couldn't stop.

"Nope, these are your Birthday tickles, lad" Killian said laughing along with his squirming son as he tried to get away.

"N-no more" Henry gasped.

Killian stopped, "Alright, that's enough for now, how about a special Birthday breakfast, for my special Birthday lad?"

Henry beamed, "Chocolate chip pancakes with hot chocolate topped with whip cream and cinnamon!" He ran down to the kitchen, grabbing everything him and his father needed.

Smiling Killian walked down to the kitchen, following his son. He reminded him so much of his mother, he had her emerald eyes and her strong confidence, every time he looked at Henry he could see Emma, just waiting on the day that he sees her once again.

"Dad?" Henry said as he placed two mugs on the counter.

"Hmm?" Killian snapped out of his thoughts, "Oh, yes, breakfast right, how about you start the cocoa and I'll do the pancakes? What do you say, Lad?"

Henry nodded, he liked moments like this with his father. Most of the time he was working, but not today, today was Henry's special day and his father was begging to get today off for weeks now. Pouring a pack of hot cocoa mix into each mug he took their kettle and poured in the boiling water, watching as the mugs filled and steam rolled off the top. He finished the beverages off with a swirl of whip cream and a pinch of cinnamon.

Killian had just finished the pancakes, it was a lot easier to get around using these modern electronics since the wardrobe's magic had given him his other hand back, temporarily. He couldn't imagine what it would be like to cook with a hook. Placing the two plates of pancakes down on the table, that already had just enough syrup. "So, what did you want to do for your Birthday this year?"

Henry thought about it, there wasn't much to do, all he wanted was to spend it with his father. "Well, I was thinking we could go grab a cupcake from Tommy's Bakery, bring it home, and you could tell me about...mom."

Killian's eyes widened, his head shot up, looking at his boy. "Your mother? Aye, I figure we could do that."

"Really? Thank you dad!" Henry beamed, clapping his hands together as he dug into his pancakes and hot cocoa.

He knew this day was going to come, but why today, he hated to even think about the last moments he had with Emma, they haunted his dreams every night. He couldn't wait to hold her once again in his arms after all these years.

"You have to go" Emma said as tears started to form in her eyes.

Killian bent down and kissed her one last time through his tears, "I love you, Emma, I won't stop until I find you, we'll all be a family again."

"I love you too" Emma said as she watched her pirate carry her newborn babe out of the room.

Killian shook his head, getting rid of the memory and focusing on his son. He grew up so fast. Today was going to be a good day, he could feel it.

Emma woke up once the bright shine from the window hit her face, she groaned pushing her body under the blankets. She could never catch a break, it was wake up, work, eat, go home and repeat, everyday. Once her alarm started to make that irritating sound she sat up and pressed the stop button.

Once she was able to push herself out of bed she walked over to her small bathroom and started to take a shower in the small space she had that you could barely move in. Getting out she dried herself off, let her hair air dry, slipped on jeans and white tank top, and then walked over to the door to slip on her black leather boots and red leather jacket.

The autumn air was getting colder each and everyday, sooner or later it would start snowing, the earth letting everybody know it's that time of year again when you start shopping for Christmas presents for your family...family. Emma scoffed at that, she never had a family who loved her and she never would.

Walking into the sheriff station she seen her deputy, David, was already there with his wife, Mary-margaret. Of course like every morning they were making out on his desk.

"Get a room" Emma called out as she walked into her office.

David pulled apart from his wife, laughing as he helped her up. "Sorry, Emma, guess we got carried away there" He said laughing.

Emma narrowed her eyebrows, "This happens every morning when I come in here" Emma said with a soft chuckle.

"If you had a lover or family that you had to leave every morning until close to midnight, you would too" Mary-margaret told her.

Emma's face fell, ignoring her comment she just walked into her office, pulled out a file and started writing information down.

"Emma, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that" Mary-margaret said.

"No, it's alright, I've always been alone, I'm use to it" Emma said, pretending like it didn't bug her, but really that's all she was able to think about now.

Mary-margaret looked over to her husband and gave him a half smile, "Well, I should get home now, bye" She said turning to David and placing a soft kiss on the side of his cheek.

David watched as she left and then walked to the doorframe of Emma's office, crossing his arms.

Emma looked up, "What?"

"Oh, come on, Ems, don't you ever think about you being happy some day? Having a family? Getting married?" David asked.

"Nope, I'm not really the family type, I've always been alone, that's how I've always survived."

"Alright, well, I still count you as a daughter in my books" David said as he turned away, walking over to his desk and sitting down.

"How's that going by the way? Any luck with Mary-margaret?" Emma asked, she knew the deputy and his wife have been trying to have a baby for years, but they were never able to conceive. They'd go to doctors and they'd tell them everything looked fine and it shouldn't be a problem, but it was for them.

David spun around in his chair, "No, not yet, we've decided to take a break from it for a while, we can't take anymore of the pain we feel when we only see that one red line."

Emma nodded, there wasn't much she could say, she never experienced that sort of thing. In her younger days she thought of having a family of her own, so she opened up to people and started going on dates, but that was quickly turned around.

Unlocking the door to his house, Killian and Henry burst through the door laughing about the amazing day they just had. First they went to Central Park and fed the ducks, then they went to the arcade and played some skee ball, then they got some fro-yo and then finally stopped to get Henry's birthday cupcake, this year it was chocolate, usually it was vanilla. These were the times he loved, spending time with his son and seeing him having a good time and laughing.

"Remember when that duck slipped on ice and fell face first" Henry said cracking up even more.

Killian laughed along with his son, placing the cupcake box down on the counter. "I'm glad you had fun, lad" He said, taking out the cupcake and placing it down on the counter as he stuck a blue star candle in the frosting. He lit a match and was about to ignite the candle.

"Wait! You're suppose to tell me about mom first" Henry stopped him before he had the chance to touch the candle.

"Right" Killian said waving the matching out and placing it in the sink, "Alright, lad, sit down for this."

Henry sat down, getting ready to here about his mother, his father was never able to say anything about her before, every time he asked he'd just push it to the side and say another time.

"So, what do you wanna know?" Killian asked sitting down next to his son.

"How did you meet?" Henry asked.

Shit! Killian said to himself, he was never able to make up a story on how they met for the ten years he had his son, he couldn't really tell the real story, or Henry would think he was just crazy. "Well, um...your mother was a sheriff and well, she thought I was a criminal and was lying to her about who I was because she had this superpower that would detect whenever somebody lied to her, so she tied me up to a bloody tree" That was the best Killian could do without fully lying to his son.

Henry started laughing, "A tree? Seriously?"

"Yup, your mother was a stubborn lass, but that's why I loved her" Killian said smiling, remembering the time he had first met the love of his life.

"I already told you, I'm just a black smith" Killian Whinned.

"Sure you are," Emma said whistling loudly as a loud roar was then heard, "You won't talk to us, maybe you'll talk to the ogres as they rip your body to shreds" Emma said as she started walking away with her mother and her two friends.

"What if he's telling the truth?" Aurora asked as she looked back at the man.

"He's not" Emma stated firmly.

"Good for you! You bested me, I could count that many of people on one hand!" Killian exclaimed as he watched the women turn around and walk back towards him.

"That suppose to be funny? Who are you?" Emma asked one last time.

"The name's Killian Jones, but most people tend to call me by my more colorful moniker...Hook"

"Did you guys ever get married?" Henry asked.

Killian snapped out of his flashback and turned back to his son, "Oh, uh, yeah, we did" Killian nodded.

"What was she like?" Henry asked.

Killian got a smile to his face, "Your mother was stubborn, very confident, she didn't take no for an answer, she was the most beautiful lass I ever met, she was my true love, she always knew how to cheer me up, and everything she did was to only protect her family, especially you, Henry."

Henry smiled, "Why did she leave?"

Killian gave his son a sad smile and held back the tears in eyes, "How about blowing out that candle now?" He said ignoring that question, as he got up and moved the chocolaty treat to the table, igniting the candle.

Henry looked at the flame, closing his eyes, he made a wish and blew out the candle.

"What did you wish for, lad?" Killian asked.

"If I told you, it won't come true" Henry said.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door, Killian turned his head and started walking over, when he opened the door there was nobody there just a simple box that was addressed to Henry, it didn't say who it was from.

"Looks like somebody sent you a Birthday present" Killian said placing the box down on the table.

Henry smiled as he started opening up the box, there was a lot of tissue paper at the top but once he got to the bottom, there was a book. Picking it up he opened it, on the first page somebody wrote in sharpie "Storybrooke."

"What is it?" Killian asked.

"A Storybook" Henry said.

"Does it say who it's from?"

"No, it just says storybrooke on the first page, it looks like somebody wrote it there."

Storybrooke? Killian never heard of such a place his ten years being in his realm, was that where his family was? "Hey lad, why don't you go get ready for bed, there's school tomorrow"

Henry smiled and placed the book down on the table as he ran down the hall and into the bathroom where he brushed his teeth and put on his pajamas.

Once his son was gone Killian grabbed the book and started flipping through pages, immediately he noticed this wasn't just a regular storybook, this was him and Emma's story. The first time they met, them falling in love, getting married, and then...Henry.

He stopped to the page that had him holding Henry and Emma laying on the bed next to him, exhausted from just giving birth. He rubbed his hand along the page, a tear starting to form in his eyes. He missed her so much, god did he miss her, but he knew it was only a matter of time before they were together again.

"Dad? I'm ready" Henry said walking over to his father.

"Oh, yes, you know what? How about I take you on a father, son trip?" Killian said.

"Like right now? As in I don't have to go to school?"

Killian laughed, "Aye"

Henry beamed and started jumping around as he ran upstairs to pack his bags.

"I'm coming Emma, I will find you, I will always find you" Killian whispered to himself as he looked down at the silver wedding band he had around his finger.

It was getting late and Emma had just finished driving around town one last time making sure nothing was out of the ordinary. Clearly seeing that everything was alright, she stopped into Granny's to get her grilled cheese, she was craving one all day.

Walking in Ruby smiled at her, "Hey, Em, the usual?" Ruby asked already knowing what she wanted.

"Please" Emma smiled as she sat down on one of the bar stools.

"So? How was today?" Ruby asked placing the grilled cheese down on the counter.

"Same as always" Emma said as she took a small bit from her grilled cheese.

The bell above the door went off, indicating somebody had just walked in.

As Emma turned around she seen a young boy and an older man. The boy looked tired, he was already in his pajamas, he had dark brown almost black hair, green eyes and skin white as snow. The man how ever looked dark, his hair was midnight black, just enough scruff was along his jawline, he wore a black leather jacket, with black shirt and black jeans.

"Who are they?" Emma asked turning to Ruby.

Ruby shrugged her shoulders, "This is the first time I seen them" Ruby said as she also watched as the man and boy walked over to the back of the diner, "He is kind of cute don't you think?"

"The boy? Yeah he's definitely cute" Emma said.

"No! The man" Ruby said hitting Emma on the shoulder.

"Meh, he's alright" Emma said.

Ruby smiled at her friend, she didn't understand why she didn't like men. She hasn't seen Emma around any man and close to them since, well, since...ever.

Ruby picked up a note pad and pen and started her way over to the man. "Can I get you anything?" Ruby asked.

Killian looked up, it was red, the she-wolf, this was the place his family was put, thank god! If he drove three hours in a hot truck for nothing, he would of been pissed. "I'll just have a coffee...black" Killian said.

Ruby nodded and wrote it down, "What about you hun? Anything you'd like?"

Henry could barely keep his eyes open, he was so tired, it felt like he was up for years, "Chocolate milk."

Ruby nodded and walked back over behind the counter where she passed the cooks the order.

Emma was watching the two, something inside of her wanted to talk to them but the other half of her was saying not to.

"Go!" Ruby demanded her, "You're the sheriff, you gotta make sure they're not some bad guys" Ruby joked around.

Emma smiled and started her way over to the table, as she got closer her heart started to pound and her palms got sweaty, she was nervous, why was she nervous? "Hey" Emma said with a smile as she looked at the boy and man, "My name's Emma, I'm the sheriff of Storybrooke."

Killian looked up, his eyes wide. Emma? Omg it was really her. He forced himself to hold make tears, she didn't look a day older from the last moment he seen her. "H-hi" Killian stuttered.

"So, what brings you and your son to this small town of ours?" Emma asked.

"It's my Birthday, dad wanted to bring me on a father son trip" The boy said excitedly.

"Well, I say your father chose the right place then" Emma said smiling down at the young boy.

Oh my god, she would of been the best mother to Henry if she was able to be there, Killian thought. That cursed Regina! She was going to pay for what she did to his family! Thanks to her, Henry grew up without a mother!

"It's actually getting quite late, do you know anywhere we could lay our heads down?" Killian asked, trying to avoid eye contact with the women, he couldn't look up at her, it was too much.

"Yeah, of course, if you just walk in back there's an entrance to a Bed and Breakfast, Granny should be able to assist you there" Emma said.

"Thanks" Killian said with a smile.

"Well, I should be going now, I've got an early morning, goodnight…"Emma waited for the man to say his name.

"Uh...Killian and Henry"

"Goodnight...Killian and Henry" Emma walked away, those names seemed so familiar to her. Shaking the feeling off of her, she waving goodbye to Ruby and went home where she would once again be her lonely self.

Henry had just laid down, he was exhausted, immediately he fell asleep next to his father. The bed was so soft and the blankets felt like they were made from a the fur of the softest animal alive. Slowly falling into a deep slumber.

Henry felt warm, he was wrapped in a soft baby blue blanket. He opened his eyes for just a second, he seen his father, he was cradling him, keeping him safe. His father had a single tear fall from his eye.

"The curse! It's here!" Henry heard a man shout as the next thing he knew a door was heard, slamming against a wall.

"Henry!" He heard a women call, it was his mother, what was going on? His father was running down a dark hall, carrying him away, two men dressed in black armor chasing after him. The next thing he knew everything went black.

Henry shot up from his dream, gasping, he had sweat dripping down his forehead. What was that? He asked himself, it seemed so real.

"Henry?" Killian asked as he turned around seeing his son sitting up in the bed, "You alright?"

"I...I had this dream, you were there, and me and this other women, everything seemed happy, you were holding me in a baby blanket, you had a tear going down your cheek, but then the next thing I knew a man came in yelling about some curse and then you started running away from these two men, I heard the women call my name...I think it was my mother" Henry explained to his father.

Killian looked at him, he had the dream of the day he was born, he heard his mother call for him when he was being swept away. "It was just a dream, lad" Killian reassured him, almost having a tear escape his eye, "Come here."

Henry scouted over, closer to his father where he felt protected. Henry fell asleep once again, this time dreaming about a small town off of main called Storybrooke.

So what did you guys think? Do you think Henry having the dream was just a coincidence? Or is he going to figure out somethings weird about this town, Storybrooke? What do you think Killian will do about Emma not remembering? Tell me everything you guys think will happen next. Also if you have any ideas, let me know. Thank you. Until next time.
