Chapter 12: Valentines Day Loven

Killian and Henry were enjoying a nice family dinner at home. Emma gave him and David the day off, saying there wasn't anything for them to do and they could have time off to spend with their families. But one person was missing from his family, Emma. She was the one that insisted to spend time with their families and she's not here completing it.

"So," Henry started as he swallowed the last piece of fish that sat on his dish, "What are you doing with Emma on Valentines Day?" Henry questioned. If his father made Emma fall in love with him on their date and he kissed her, the curse would break.

"Well ladd, I want to give her the best night of her life, I want to show her the way I feel about her, and hopefully if everything works out as I plane on it, the curse will hopefully break" Killian explained to him with a big smile.

Henry smiled, it wouldn't be long until they were a full family again. "I hope you're right."

Killian smirked and raised an eyebrow, was his son really doubting him. "Oh, I'm always right. Captain Hook never fails."

Emma was sitting up in Mary-margaret's room at her snow white vanity that sat in the corner of the small bedroom. She was letting the women due her make up for her date with Killian tonight, she had plenty of dates with the man in the passed four months since he had arrived but tonight was special, just something about it felt different to her. She was wearing a lose peach dress that went down to her middle thigh, her bodice clung tight to her as below her waist flowed freely, and to top it all off she wore the necklace that Killian gave her for Christmas. Her shoes were two inch heels that matched her dress and her hair was done up in a fancy pony tail.

"Alright, I think we're all done" Mary-margaret said as she swiped once more across her face with some blush and then stood up looking down at the blonde. "Beautiful" She gasped.

Emma smiled, she never had anybody call her beautiful before, well that was a women at least. Every moment she spent with Mary-margaret, they seemed to grow an even closer bond, almost like mother and daughter. "You, didn't have to do this."

"Are you kidding me! I don't have a daughter to do this with yet, I'm happy I can do a simple thing with you" The women smiled as she held out her hand for Emma to take. "Now come on, he should be here soon!"

Being pulled down the stairs and thinking off everything that could occur tonight she was to caught up in her thoughts she didn't hear the laughter of the men from downstairs. When she got to the bottom of the steps she looked up and seen him, he was handsome and look so...delicious. Wait, no, Emma, you can't think like that, not yet. He was wearing a fancy black shirt that clung to his body with a pair of his best black jeans and loafers.

Killian approached her with a sexy smirk, it was Valentines Day and he waited long enough to celebrate the touchy, lovey holiday with her. "Here you are, Swan" he said holding out a bouquet of red roses.

Emma giggled, "Wow, you really went all out. They're beautiful thank you" She smiled at him before he looped his arm and she tucked her hand in between, having him lead her out to the truck she was now so familiar with.

"Sure you don't want me to drive?" David yelled out from the front step, watching the couple walk off.

"I can take care of myself!" Emma shouted back with a smile. There was David, being the protective father type to her even though she wasn't his daughter.

"Don't worry mate, she's in good hands!" Killian shouted back as he turned his head and shot a wink over at the man who seemed to grit his teeth and give him a death stare.

"After you mi'lady" Killian said with a small bow as he held open the door to let Emma walk in a head of him.

Emma looked around stunned. Killian brought her to a pretty fancy four star Italian restaurant on the water front. They were seated at a table that Killian had reserved for them. He made sure their was a candle lit at their table that was looking right out at the sky that lit up with fire as the sun descended behind the horizon. Killian pulled out her chair and let her seat like a gentlemen before he move over to be seated himself. "Wow, you really did go all out."

"It's Valentines Day love, now what do you say, shall I order us some drinks?" Killian asked with a smirk.

"Just one glass, we don't need to go over the top tonight" Emma said looking down at the menu that healed more than just lasagna and grilled cheese.

"Why love? Afraid you'll find me even more irresistible after a few libations?" He asked with a sexy smirk and a raised eyebrow as he licked his bottom lip, he seen how it effected Emma and he wished he could do a lot more than just effect her for a brief moment.

Emma smiled at him, he was a cocky guy and that's what she loved so much about him, and the way he smirked with his eyebrow raised while he licked his bottom lip. She was starting to feel hot which wasn't good, her and Killian haven't yet had sex with each other but the more time they spent together the more she wanted to. "No, I just don't want whatever decisions we make tonight be off of the alcohol we consume."

"Ah, so you're saying we might do something tonight?" He asked with a wink and another smirk, it was his signature move and Emma always seemed to love it.

She kicked him lightly under the table but he ended up grabbing her by the ankle before her toes could even come in contact with him. His skin was warm and it sent a shiver through her entire body. Tonight had to go by fast or Emma might be finding herself in an awkward situation. "I'm not saying it will happen, I'm just saying if something happens."

"You're not denying it though" Killian said with another wink.

As the night went off and Emma and Killian finished their glasses of champagne and their meals, they were stuffed. Emma had the pasta while Killian had the culatello. for desert they shared a strawberry short cake and took turns feeding each other as they looked into one another's eyes and drifted off to another realm.

Killian could feel the way his brain would wonder to other things he tried not to think about whenever she sucked onto his fork for a moment too long. This was killing him, but he couldn't force her, he never forced a lady in bed, not even in his pirate days. He was always a gentlemen. "Come on Swan, I have one last surprise for you."

"David, where are you taking me?" Mary-margaret asked as she followed behind her husband in the darkness in the middle of the forest. He said he wanted to show her something but they had been walking for almost twenty minutes and he still didn't say where they were going.

David paused and looked around, "It's just over that bend, come on!" He walked a head of her and started walking behind trees.

"David!" She ran after him to turn behind some trees and found David standing in front of a small gazebo with lights handing down, rose petals on the table that was set in the middle with candle light and soft classical music played in the background. "Oh ,David, it's beautiful."

"Sit down, tonight it's only going to be you and me. No disruptions, nothing. This is our last Valentines with it being just me and you." David sat his wife down, sitting a silver tray with a lid in front of her he lifted the lid to reveal lobster ravioli. "Your favourite my Queen."

Mary-margaret giggled and blushed as she placed a kiss on his lips and smiled with the biggest smile. Suddenly she gasped and placed her hand on her stomach.

"What, what is it?" David asked suddenly started to get worried. She took his hand and placed it on her stomach, immediately he felt what she was gasping about, "Is that?"

She nodded, "Our baby."

Killian had taken Emma to the sail boat that sat at the dock in back of his house. He had set a small blanket on the floor for them to lay on and star gaze. He was telling her the stories of the constellations, just like the ones Liam told him. He missed his brother more than anything but he knew that he was looking down at him right now, hopefully proud of the man he was today. Proud he was able to get out of that big dark patch in his life.

"What about that one?" Emma asked as she pointed up at the constellation for Andromeda.

"Ah, that is a fascinating tale, Swan" Killian begun as he looked at the stars that a lined perfectly, "Andromeda was the daughter of a King called Cepheus and a Queen Cassiopeia. One day Cassiopeia's hubris leads her to boast that Andromeda was more beautiful than the Nereid. So Poseidon sends the sea monster Cetus to ravage Andromeda, so she was stripped naked and chained to a rock as a sacrifice but was saved by Perseus the son of Poseidon."

Emma listened carefully, she found it all fascinating that every star out their had it's own story. "Wow, that's very interesting, do you believe in all that?"

"Well, the tales had to come from somewhere, right?" He asked as he pointed up at a constellation, "That's my favourite, Gemini, the twin brothers Castor and Pollux. They were mothered by one single women, Leda, but both had a different father. In one night Leda got impregnated by Jupiter in the form of a Swan."

Emma chuckled, "Wow, that must've been hard to explain to the family" She joked.

Killian smiled as he looked up at her, he loved her laugh and her creamy smooth skin and the way it glowed in the pale moons light. "You're beautiful" he whispered into her ear making her turn her head towards him and stare deep into his eyes. In what seemed like just a matter of moments they were joined together by mouth and tongue with Emma sitting on top of Killian and him wrapping his good arm around her waist, pulling her closer.

At first it was gentle and slow. Then the kiss turned heated. He felt like he was about to spontaneously combust. The lost for his Swan flared with in him. Their mouths met again and again in desperation as he picked her up and laid her down on her back so he was the one on top. He slid his hand down. He was desperate to have her now and wanted to see if she was ready too for him. His hand rested just above her sex, he didn't want to touch her if she didn't want him to. "Emma" He whispered softly as their lips separated apart.

"Please Killian, I need you" Emma pleaded with absolute sincerity. She felt as if she would break if he didn't touch her soon. They waited long enough for this.

"Are you sure you want this? We don't have to do this yet" Killian asked, he couldn't ever forgive himself if he done this to Emma when she wasn't sure, especially since she was cursed and didn't know this wouldn't be their first time. They had a son for crying out loud.

Emma smiled and nodded, "I'm positive Killian."

That's all he needed. Gently he slid two fingers inside her, he found her dripping wet. "All ready wet for me Swan" Killian whispered into her ear as he started to place soft gentle kisses along her jaw and down her neck where he met that one spot that made her let out a soft moan. He continued to pump slowly in and out leisurely, curling his fingers enough to brush where he knew she wanted him.

"Killian, more" Emma cried out between her moan as she shifted her hips up towards him trying to create friction, telling him what she wanted.

Looking down once more at her beautiful emeralds, so much lust behind them. He smiled warmly at her. He removed his fingers from her warmth and licked her essence from them. "Gods Emma, so yummy and pure" He said as soon as his fingers were clean. Emma almost came at the erotic nature of that simple gesture. She tried to buck her hips up once again having a chuckled softly, deep and dark escape from his throat. "We've waited long enough, haven't we love?"

"Fuck me, Killian" Emma whispered up into her loves ear, she wanted him more than ever right now, and she was going to get him.

That was all the permission he needed. He quickly got up and unfastened his jeans and pulled them down as fast as he could along with his shirt. Before he knew it both him and Emma were both bare to the night sky, good thing Henry went to Graces for the night. He lined himself up at her entrance and slowly pushed forward. They both let out a soft moan. He sucked that sensitive pulse point once again, having his name slip from her beautiful mouth.

"Killian, don't stop" She begged as gentle as she could as she felt him thrust into her, going deeper each move.

"Love, you feel so good" He cried. Her walls felt like haven squeezing his length. She felt a familiar feeling in her belly. It was building. She knew she would go off the edge at any moment now.

"Harder!" Emma pleaded.

Killian snapped his hips harder into hers, giving her exactly what she had wanted. He bent down and placed a searing his to her gentle lips. She wrapped her legs around him, getting him to go even deeper, hitting her g-spot with ease. It took him by surprise when she rolled them over so she was now on top. Killian brought his hand to her hip dancing a long with her. He didn't imagine this was what it would be like the first time in tens years...to him, for her it was the first time, which upset him.

Emma's orgasm hit her out of no where. His name and other words of endearment fell from her lips. Emma's moans soon set him off and before he knew it he was pushing her down on her back, pushing out and thrusting forward as he spilled his seed all above her wetness.

He leaned down and kissed her one last time before collapsing down beside her, taking his arm around her petite waist and pulling her against him as they lay their in peace. Listening to the waves splash against the side of the boat and making them rock. They laid out their until Killian felt Emma's breathing slow down, he looked down and she was asleep. Carefully picking her up he brought her inside and and laid her down onto his bed under the covers as he slipped in behind her and pressed he firmly against him. "Goodnight swan. I love you"

Emma fluttered open her eyes and stretched. The activities from last night suddenly washed over her and she felt amazing. She was so relaxed and calm, that's what she needed, to get laid. feeling eyes on her she looked over to her side and seen Henry staring down at her, watching her every move. Killian was sat at the table sipping on coffee with a huge grin on his face, he was trying not to laugh. "Henry! What are you doing here?" Emma exclaimed as she grabbed onto the blankets and pulled them passed her chest.

"Grace's parents brought me home this morning, you must've been very tired, it's almost lunch" Henry told her as he walked over to the kitchen to grab himself a bagel.

Looking over to Killian she gave him wide eyes. She was nude in bed with her clothes probably still in the boat form last night and all she had to cover herself from Henry was a thin blanket.

Walking over to her he sat down on the bed, placing a kiss on her forehead he slipped her peach dress under the blankets. He had retreaved them early in the morning before Henry had gotten home, it wouldn't be good if she had to walk around in the nude. "Good morning love, did you sleep well?" He asked with a smirk, obviously picturing her what she looked like under the blanket.

Emma smacking his arm and quickly went under the blanket to pull her dress on. Once that was done and she got out of bed and walked into the bathroom where she could at least clean herself up a bit so she didn't feel so gross but as she did she almost fell back on the bed from how sore she was, it felt like the first time she had sex in a while. "Ouch "Emma let out as she tried to walk normally to the bathroom.

"Don't hurt yourself love, can't have you getting bruise" Killian joked as he sent a smirk down at her with a wink. He felt proud of himself, after all these years, he could still pleasure her.

Henry watched as Emma walked over to the bathroom, obviously she was in pain he could tell. "Dad, is Emma alright?"

"She's fine, she just had a, uh, a fun night" He told his son as a scream was heard from the forest. Looking outside he didn't hear anything, he ran out and heard the scream again, it was coming from the East. Running as fast as he could he jumped over the fallen logs and under the slanted trunks until he came to where he seen feet popping out from behind a tree. "Hello? Who's there?" Walking closer it was the last person he expected to see passed out cold on the forest floor.

Emma rushed out the bathroom as soon as she heard the screams and Killian rushing out the door. "Henry, what was that?"

Henry shrugged, "Maybe it's Ruby, maybe she's remembering."

"Remembering what?"

"Being Little Red Riding Hood" Henry answered.

"With the little red basket?" Emma chuckled at that, "Yeah, she seems like a bad ass." The only story Emma knew about Little Red Riding Hood was that she wore a red cape and was stalked by a wolf on the way to Granny's house who she later found out ate her Granny and tried to eat her.

"She is. She just doesn't remember how cool she is or what she's capable of. But it's true" Henry told her as she sighed and looked over as the door was being flung open with Killian carrying a limp body, it wasn't a women so it couldn't be Henry's theory, it was a man. Rushing over she helped Killian pick up the man and put him into the back of the truck with Henry jumping in back as well. Getting in front she seen it was Will, great, she forgot all about him. He had a deep gash on the side of his head, she hoped it was nothing too serious.

"Well, he's bruised, scratched up, a little dehydrated...what'd you expect?" Dr. Whale said as he looked over Will who was sitting on the bed, fully conscious now but didn't seem like he understood what was going on.

"He has a cut on his head" Emma stated as she looked at the doctor. He was the most stubborn man in this town, he would always be flirting with women and it was disgusting.

"Well, he obviously hit his head on something maybe as he was walking around the forest or when he fell" Dr. Whale said.

Will placed his fingers over the cut, it had stopped bleeding once they got to the hospital. "What's going on? Why am I at the hospital?" He asked obviously not remembering anything that was going on.

"Will, I found you unconscious on the forest floor, do you remember what happened before that?" Killian stepped a head, placing a hand on his nephews shoulder.

Will looked at him like he was a ghost or some mystical monster that was just discovered. "Who the bloody hell are you?" He asked. Who was this man? How did he know his name? Why was he even here?

"You don't remember me?" Killian asked narrowed his eyes. The man who survived the curse and still had his memories couldn't handle a hit to the head? He lost all his memories. Will shook his head and Killian suddenly felt sadness swipe over him, just when he thought he as getting his nephew back.

"Is everything alright? We came as fast as we could!" Mary-margaret shouted as her and David rushed into the hospital room to see Killian, Emma, and Henry all standing their around Will and Dr. Whale. "Emma, why are you still wearing...oh never mind" It clued in why Emma was still wearing the dress from last night, she hadn't planned to stay the night.

David looked over at Killian with a stern look. He crossed his arms over his chest and shook his head.

Returning with a smirk, Killian felt awarded.

"I think Will should just go home and get some rest, he's probably got a minor concussion but nothing to serious" Dr. Whale explained.

Emma nodded, she wasn't going to arrest this man if he didn't remember anything. She knew he wasn't lying, she used her superpower. "Alright, thanks doctor" Emma said kindly to the pervert. "Come on Killian, bring me home, I need a shower."

"I bet you do" Mary-margaret said with a wink at Emma.

Henry narrowed his eyes, why was she talking like that? Emma just needed a shower what was so strange about that?

Will watched as the group left. Who were they? He didn't remember them, the only person he knew was his girlfriend Alice who was at home probably worried out of her mind. The last thing he remembered was going out to search for a Valentines Day gift and then there was nothing but blackness.

Killian and Henry brought Emma back to her apartment and they were both sitting at her island in the kitchen while she went to have a shower. Henry had never been inside of her apartment before but he could see that it was very small. Not even close to the size of the castle she lived in, the entire apartment must of just been the size of her and his fathers bedroom. She didn't even have a TV, what kind of person didn't have a TV! Well, that was easy for him to say, he grew up with electronics, people in this town didn't, well they though they did.

"So, your plan didn't work about breaking the curse last night" Henry said out of the quietness that crept through the room.

"No ladd, I didn't, something came up, but I promise you, the curse will be over soon. But I don't know what else to do" Killian said, wanting to get any suggestion out of Henry.

Henry thought about it for a moment, what was something they didn't already try? They had plenty of dates, plenty of kisses, Henry even told her about the things that are changing and she's even seen somethings like the clock tower starting to work. She even seen memories but she didn't accept them. "Maybe if you uh...tell her the story?" Henry said in more of a question than a statement.

"Tell her the story? You know that might just work actually. Tell her the story of what she knows deep down is true."

Suddenly Emma came out of the bathroom dressed in jeans and a blank tank top drying her hair off with a towel. "The story of what?" She asked. She had heard that Killian wanted to tell her a story but she didn't exactly understand what she was suppose to know what true deep down inside her.

"Well, I should go..." Henry darted out of the apartment as quickly as he could. He didn't want to interrupt the moment and destroy The Savior from believing. If he was gone it would be a better chance at the curse breaking...he thought. He ran down the street to the one place he could go when he knew he and everybody else was welcome. The heart of Storybrooke. Granny's.

"So, what's this story that I should know is true?" Emma asked as she threw the wet towel back into the bathroom and walked over to the couch as she sat beside Killian.

Killian wrapped his arm around her shoulder, holding her close and feeling the warmth hat radiated off her body from the shower she just got out of. "Just listen carefully love." He sat up straight and looked down at her, looking into her emeralds the same way he did last night. "Once upon a time, there was a princess that found a pirate that made a deal to kill her and her family but instead the princess tied him to a tree and he was forced to tell her about the witch that he made this deal with and how she wanted a compass to take control over the land. So the pirate helped the Princess and Queen retrieve the compass before the witch, but the witch showed up and tried to take it from them. The pirate and princess who had feelings for each other started to sword fight because neither one wanted each other to have the compass so when the pirate could've killed the Princes, he didn't he crushed the compass in front of the witch where she stabbed him with his own sword, he was dying but then something magical happened from the Princess...she had magic. healed the pirate and that's when they knew they had feelings."

Narrowing her eyes Emma remembered the dream she had the night before Killian had came back home. He was telling her the story of it...of her dream. "How do you know about my dream?"

"What dream?" Killian didn't understand, he told the real true story about how he met his one true love.

"The dream I had before you returned from the hospital...I was a Princess and you were Captain Hook and Mary-margaret was my mother Snow White and then...everything you just described happened." Emma explained the best way she could, she didn't understand, could he see in her brain?

Killian chuckled. "That's no dream love, that is all real."

"Right, I think you've been listening to Henry too much" She joked with a slight laugh escaping from her throat.

"Alright well how about the one where a Princess gave birth to a prince and didn't even get the chance to hold him because they were separated from the curse The Evil Queen had cursed to get her happy ending?"

Emma stood up and walked over to the kitchen, pouring herself and Killian a cup of steaming hot cocoa. "Yes now I truly believe you've listened too much to Henry, he already told me that story Killian, I'm the princess and he was the Prince that I never got to hold, trust me I think I would remember giving birth."

A loud crash was heard from the kitchen with a loud scream as Killian turned his head and seen Emma clenched her stomach in agonizing pain. He ran over to her and took her hand trying to speak to her but she wouldn't answer. What was happening to his Swan?"

"AH Killian! He's coming!" Emma shouted as she squeezed Killian's hand so tight he almost shouted in pain himself. Her hand still resting on her stomach as she felt the pain shoot through her.

Who? Who's coming?" Killian asked loud enough through her screams, hopefully loud enough for her to hear.

"Henry!" She shouted once more before everything went black before her eyes.

"AHHH!" Emma shouted as Killian placed her down on their bed, "HE'S COMING!"

Killian stood beside her, patting a cold cloth on her face, he hated to see her in pain. "You can do this, love!"

"Emma?" Snow came running into the room with Charming behind her.

"Mom! Dad! Emma shouted as she pushed, this was the worse pain she ever went through.

"Emma, you can do this, we love you, we're all here" Snow reassured her.

Emma nodded, gripping Killian's hand harder as she pushed, and pushed, and pushed, she yelled one last time as she gave one last big push. She heard her baby crying as she looked to the side and seen Killian holding their baby boy.

"He's beautiful" Killian said looked down at his bride, placing a kiss to her forehead.

Emma looked up and smiled, she was happy, all the pain she endured was all worth it in the end, she had her boys and her parents with her in the room.

"The curse! It's coming!"

Everyone turned to look and seen Grumpy running into the room panting.

"The curse...it's here" Grumpy said through breaths.

Emma looked up and seen Killian looking down at her, this would be the last time they see each other for ten years, she didn't even get to hold her baby once. "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."

"Emma! Emma!"

Emma's eyes shot open, what did she just see? It seemed so real to her, but it couldn't be real, she never had a baby before. Killian and Henry's story must've gotten her so worked up that she ended up passing out from over thinking everything they said and she must've dreamt it. Then her eyes went wide and was met with the beautiful blue ocean she thought about everyday. She was laying on the kitchen floor, why? "Killian? What happened? Why am I on the floor?"

Instantly he scooped her up in his arms, "Oh my god Emma! You scared me love! You fell on the floor and started screaming in pain saying that Henry was coming."

"Henry?" Weird she didn't remember any of that, she just remembered pouring hot cocoa and then everything went black and then she seen that vision or memory or dream...whatever it was. Her head was started to throb, "I think I need to lay down for a bit." She was helped up by Killian and he carried her over to her bed where he laid down with her, stroking her hair and calming her down, making sure she wasn't hurt.

Ruby handed Henry his hot cocoa that she topped with whip cream and cinnamon and gave the boy an encouraging smile. Something was wrong she could tell but she didn't want to ask what because really it was none of her business. She walked off and looked back noticing Henry sighed and placed his face in the palm of his hand, leaning up on the table, not sipping on his beverage.

"That hot cocoa's not going to going to drink itself" August said sitting down next to the boy he was told to stay away from. He could tell that something was wrong with the boy, he was pouting like a lost puppy. "What seems to be the problem?"

"Just a family thing" Henry said trying to explain his feelings the best way he could without saying something about the curse that would just making August think different of him, "Aren't you suppose to stay away from me?

August sighed, "Yes, your father made that very clear." He rubbed his cheek that was starting to just heal up. Killian had cracked him a good one, he fractured his jaw. "But I'm here to help with your little family issue and to be honest you're not going to find anything at the bottom of that mug."

"Then where?" Henry asked licking some of the whip cream that was on top off.

Looking over August noticed that Henry had the Storybook he had stolen from him months ago in his bag. He wondered if the boy noticed what he had added inside, he hadn't heard anything about it. "That book in you bag. You know I'm a writer, so I'm partial to finding my answers in the literary form."

"It's just a book" Henry sighed not taking his eyes off the counter and still slouching into his hand. He just wanted his mother, he wanted to know what it felt like to have a mother in his life. His father never had a girlfriend when they lived in Boston and he always wondered why. Then he figured out about his family history and knew his father was only waiting to be reunited once again with his mother.

"Is it?" August asked as he was answered with Henry nodding his head, "I think we both know that's not the case. Can I get a water please?" August asked the waitress as a tall glass of H2O was placed in front of him as Henry turned slowly in his bar stool to face him.

"What do you know about it?" Henry questioned. Did this man figure out about the curse? Was he the one that stole his book and figured it all out? So may things were going through his mind and he was starting to panic. He hopped this wasn't a bad guy that was working with The Mayor aka The Evil Queen to destroy the curse from ever being broken.

August turned to the boy with a raised eyebrow, "I know it's a book of stories."

Henry gave the man a 'you're not serious right now are you?' look. The man pointed out the obvious. "Aren't all books?"

"Stories that really happened" August said emphasizing the word really as he looked down at the boy with a straight face and a straight look.

"You think my book is real?" Henry suddenly felt the urge to want to get closer to this man, so he did. He wanted to make sure he was hearing him right...he believed.

"As real as I am. Let's just say I uh - I'm a believer, and I want to help others see the light. That, my friend is why I'm here."

"Me and my father are already trying to do that. He's at Emma's apartment right now to make her beleive. He's telling her the entire story" Henry told the man, they didn't need his help, they were under control with this already.

August leaned forward. "A story wont make Emma believe. Besides I'm not here to make her believe, I'm here to make her forgive me, but that's been hard lately with her spending so much time with her husband."

Henry looked at August, he really did know everything. Who was he and what did he need Emma to forgive him of. "How will she believe then?

"Emma will only believe when she really wants to, she needs the proof" August explained to the boy.

"Last time I tried to get proof me, my dad and Emma were almost smooched by an old mine collapsing" Henry explained thinking about that time when they first came to town and his father was a deputy and the ground had collapsed due to old mines underground.

"There are less dangerous places to look." And with that August opened up his bag to reveal the book even more than what he was already showing. He got up and was about to leave when he seen Henry immediately take out the book and started looking through the pages. Searching, for anything that could tell him how to break this curse or at least make Emma believe.

Will knocked on the door to the one person he thought would be able to help him right now with his memory loss. Dr. Hopper. He needed to see if there was a way that he could be able to help him, maybe channel him somehow to see what had happened while he was blacked out. The curly red headed man answered his door with a smile on his face.

"W-Will, what. What brings you here?" Dr. Hopper asked curious. He never thought Will scarlet would ever be one to show up at his office door.

"Dr. Hopper I need your help. I blacked out and now I don't remember anything that happened during that time. I need your help to help me remember" Will pleaded with sadness in his eyes. Why could he remember! He only blamed himself, maybe if he wouldn't drink so much this wouldn't of happened.

This was different, he never had anybody come to him before because they couldn't remember anything. "Oh ok well just go lay down on the couch. Relax, I'll be there in a moment."

Will walked over to the couch and laid down, closing his eyes and taking slow breaths trying to relax himself as much as possible. Before he knew it he heard the doctor siting down on the leather chair across from him opening up his note pad and clicking his pen. "Alright, Will, Listen very closely, can you hear me?" Will nodded for yes. "Good. Okay, I want you to go back in your memory, back to the last thing you remember. Tell me - where are you?"

"In my apartment, the night of Valentines Day, I went out to get Alice a gift" Will answered softly to where it was almost a whisper.

"And do you remember anything after that?" Dr. Hopper asked.

"Yes, I went in the woods to clear my head of some family issues and then I started tumbling down a hill and then the last thing I saw was some girl" Will whispered out as he seen the visions appear.

"You're quite clumsy for a solider" The women said as she brought her sword to the mans throat.

"And your quite...young to be a murder" Will sputtered out as he seen it was a girl that looked like Alice...exactly like her.

"A murderer?" The girl breathed out and rolled her eyes, "Is that what the Queen of hearts is saying about me now?"

"That and a few other nasty words as well, but given the circumstances I hope she's wrong" Will said looking up to the girls brown eyes.

The girl stepped back and lowered her sword allowing for the man to stand back up, "She's wrong. You need to be a little bit more selective from whom you talk order from solider."

"I'm not a solider" Will said brushing himself off.

"Then who are you?"

"I don't have to tell" Will said. He couldn't come out ad say the nephew of Captain Hook. Everybody who he had a good conversation with would always disappear every time he told them was his care taker. The blood thirsty Captain Hook.

"Alice!" Will shouted as he looked around and seen Dr. Hopper was shacking him.

"Sorry Will, I had to wake you, you were going to deep" Dr. Hopper explained.

Will rushed out of the room, not caring anymore. He had to get home and see Alice, he had a lot of explaining to do for his disappearance for the last two days.

There, that was another chapter. I hope you enjoyed it. I know it was very short, but I didn't have a lot of ideas for this one and plus I start work tomorrow and I wanted this chapter up fast. The next upload should be up this weekend hopefully, I start my first day at work tomorrow and I work eight hours a day so the uploads will be a bit slower until the end of summer.

Remember to REVIEW! I only got two reviews last time which was a little disappointing, I thought there would be more lol.
