(This is my second fanfic, and it's probably just as bad as the first one. None-the-less I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it. The chapters are short and the plotline is weak, so I apologise for that. Try and enjoy anyway. This is an alternate ending.

I do not own any of the characters; they belong to JM Barrie and his wonderful imagination. Oh, and Great Ormond Street Hospital I think. Anyway, the characters aren't mine, but the plotline is, unfortunately.)

Chapter 5 (the happy ending version)

James had kissed Susannah before leaving the room and ordering his crew to sail the shi back to London. James stayed away from his cabin. He felt that he'd change his mind if he went to see her before they reached her home. An hour or so later the ship was gliding over London once more. They sank down to the Nursery window. Jason ordered Smee to retrieve Susannah. She came out; her face red from crying. She looked at Hook and fresh tears started to spill. Jason walked to her, and enveloped her in a tight embrace, not caring that his crew was watching.

"Please James. Let me stay with you. Let me go back. I don't want to stay here. I don't want to live in the real world. I don't even want a university degree anymore." Susannah begged.

"No Susannah. This is what I mean. You're giving up on real life. You deserve a chance to live a real life. You deserve better than me. You deserve better." He told her in soft tones.

"Better! How can anyone be better than you? I love you Captain James Hook, no-one else. How can you do this to me?" she screamed in anger, thumping her fists lightly against his chest. Hook just stood and took it, feeling her anger with each connection. The crew watched, astounded, as a young girl hit their captain.

"I have to. Do you think I want to do this? I love you too…but you can't stay with me!" James exclaimed, pushing her away. "Please. Go. I'll come back someday."

"When is someday though?" Susannah asked, drying the tears from her eyes.

"Soon." James replied before leaning down and kissing her passionately holding her in his arms. The crew, embarrassed, averted their eyes; not wanting to watch their Captain's display of affection.

James pulled apart from their embrace and whispered.

"Now go."

Susannah sighed, squeezed his hand one last time, and then walked off the deck and into the Nursery through the open window. She turned around. The ship was already moving away. She waved at James, who smiled weakly and waved back.

"Don't forget me." She called out.

"I won't." he cried back.

"And come back for me. Don't leave me here alone my entire life. I'll wait for you. Don't make me wait forever." She added.

"I won't. I'll come back. I love you!" he shouted as the ship lifted into the clouds, and he was gone from sight.

Susannah broke down crying. She stayed by the Nursery window for several hours, crying. Once she felt she had no more tears left she got into her bed and fell asleep, hoping tomorrow James would return.

He didn't come the next day. In fact, a fortnight passed before he returned. He did come back though.

It was late at night and Susannah had just returned from a night out on the town. Ever since he left, she'd been trying to drink her sorrows away. Over two weeks her marks at University had dropped considerably, and most of her teachers guessed it was heartbreak.

Susannah stumbled into the nursery, leaning on the doorframe. Her white shirt was unbuttoned enough to reveal a lacy pink bra underneath. Her hair had come out of its ponytail and her mascara was running down her cheeks. Her skirt had a stain on. One of her shoes was missing; the left one.

Hook saw her and thought she was beautiful.

Susannah walked over to her bed; more like crawled, and sat herself down. Her head was pounding. She put her head in hands for a few minutes and remained silent.

Hook just watched her, intrigued.

Then Susannah lifted her head. She was crying. And moaning incoherently. Then, Hook managed to hear several words.

"Why….James….me…stay….you…go…..not fair." He guessed it was an entire sentence that she just couldn't manage to say properly due to the several units of alcohol in her system.

James stepped out of the shadows and silently approached Susannah. He walked directly in front of her and lifted her head with his hook; pressed gently under her chin, and wiped her tears with his left hand.

"James!" Susannah exclaimed in a questioning manner. He nodded and she jumped up. His appearance had a sobering effect upon her. She leaped forward and hugged him.

"Oh James." She moaned as she inhaled the scent on his jacket. He smelt of gunpowder and manly sweat. He smelled gorgeous. "You came back."

"I promised I would. I didn't know how long to stay away, but with each passing day it became harder and harder…and eventually….I changed my mind." He explained.

"Changed your mind?" Susannah repeated hopefully.

"If you're willing to…would you…return to Neverland…to spend your days with me…as my wife?" Hook asked, going down on one knee and taking a lovely silver ring out from within his jacket.

Susannah gasped and clasped her hands over her mouth.

"Of course I will!" she exclaimed, pulling James off the floor and kissing him passionately on the mouth. James wrapped his arms around her, tasting her mouth.

The couple stood there for several minutes, holding each other and kissing. Eventualy they broke apart and hook slid the ring on her finger, before kissing her hand. Then he led her to the window by the hand and opened it.

"Come on…our carriage awaits." He joked, gesturing to the ship waiting outside with all the crew on; smiling happily as they guessed the outcome of their captains proposal was a good one.

"Carriage?" Susannah replied mockingly. "Why, James….I think you'll find this is a ship. Not just any ship. It is the Jolly Rodger, the ship belonging to the infamous Captain James Hook."

"Oh?" James murmured seductively in her ear. "And what can you tell me of Captain Hook?"

"He is the right person for me, and I for him, and we're going to spend our days together aboard the Jolly Rodger in Neverland." She whispered in his ear, before stepping on board ship with James; leaving Susannah's old home behind them.

And that is exactly what they did. Their lives were fruitful and loving. They had several children. Peter Pan and Hook made amends. Everything in Neverland went wonderfully. And James and Susannah lived their lives with one another; each one part of the same jigsaw puzzle.
