Chapter 13

Killian and Henry quickly readied the ship and sailed far away enough that the sirens couldn't sense the ship near the trident's resting place. They dropped anchor about 10 miles north, all of them being exhausted from the day.

"Henry are you hurt?" Emma asked her son.

"A little, I have some small gashes from today and a big one on my thigh."

"Come here kid, let me see."

Henry showed Emma when he was hurt and she held her hand over him, healing everything with the glow of her good magic. "Better?" She asked him.

"Much." Henry smiled at her. "Hope probably could use it to."

Emma had a terrified look on her face but nodded and headed down deck. Hope was sitting on the side rail of the ship and her mother approached her.

"Can I see your shoulder?" Emma asked cautiously. Hope nodded and let Emma pull her shirt down enough to expose her shoulder enough to where the gashes from the mermaid were exposed. "This might feel a little weird, but it'll be over in just a second ok?"

"Ok Mom."

Emma placed her hand over Hope's wounded shoulder, focusing all of her magic she had available on healing her daughter. A purple glow radiated from Emma's hand and enveloped Hope, sending a warm tingle down her whole left side.

"There." Emma proclaimed when the skin was smoothed over again. "Good as new."

Hope smiled at her mother, "Thank you. That felt better than the rum does."

Emma let out a short laugh, "Don't I know it." Emma shifted her feet and continued. "Hope, I do want to talk, but if you're not ready I understand. Trust me, I understand better than anyone. So, when you are, I will be waiting." She turned and walked away.

"Mom, wait." Hope called out as she jumped down from the railing. Emma turned and looked at her daughter with a raised brow. Hope giggled, apparently that was where she got that look from. "I've spent 20 years without you, and honestly that's long enough for me. I know this is going to be a hard conversation, but I don't want to waste any more time."

Emma gave her a bright smile. "Tell you what, let me change out of this god forsaken dress, and we will talk at dinner with your father and brother. Sound good?"

Hope nodded, and she lunged forward to hug her mother and she hesitated. This was new for both of them, and she didn't want to push it.

"It's ok, Hope. You can hug me." Emma said with a warm smile. Hope lunged at her mother and hugged her hard.

"Hopie!" Henry called out, "Come help me with dinner!"

"Ok!" Hope smiled at her mother and ran to join Henry.

Emma smiled at the sight and went down to the captain's cabin to change. As she pushed the heavy door open, she looked around the room and took in everything. Her trunks of clothing hadn't moved, and the books still lined the shelves. There were maps, papers, and quills strewn about. Pictures of the family were everywhere, and it warmed Emma's heart. Henry had taken care of the Jolly like his own. Emma made her way to a trunk and lifted out a pair of black leather pants and a white blouse. She found her black boots tucked away safely under the bed next to her cutlass. The door opened and she looked up, meeting eyes with Killian.

"Need a hand love?"

"Is that supposed to be a joke?"

Killian smiled at her and it warmed her heart as did the banter of so many years ago.

"I truly was wondering if you needed help love." Killian retorted. "The back of that blasted thing is a corset."

"Yes my dear, I would appreciate the help."

Killian came up behind her and started to unlace the corset, exposing her skin little by little. His breath caught in his throat at the scars that were now there due to Yzma's magic.

Emma heard his breathing changed and she turned around to face him. "Killian it's ok, I'm ok."

Killian shook his head, "Darling you almost died. I should have gotten to you faster."

"Hey, hey." Emma put her hand on his face. "Don't do that. This isn't like the Dark One fiasco. This was entirely out of our control."

Killian met her gaze and the fact that she was here made his emotions start to bubble up. "I've missed you, Swan."

"I missed you too." Emma placed a tender kiss on his lips. "I don't intend to miss you again for a very long time."

Killian smiled and kissed her as needy, raw, passion took over him. She responded to him just and needily as Killian hoisted her up and set her on his desk. Emma wrapped her leg around him and pulled him closer. His kisses trailed down her jaw, and down her chest.

"Killian.." Emma gasped out. She needed him so bad, but they had to stop for now. "Wait… Kids… Dinner…"

"Bloody hell." He groaned and set his head down on her chest. "You're right. I'm sorry love I got carried away."

Emma smiled down at him and ran her hands through his hair. "It's ok. You can make it up to me later."

Killian smiled and helped her up. "Aye love, I plan on it."

Emma shimmied out of her dress and put on her pirate garb as her mother referred to it. Killian gave her her hair brush and Emma brushed her hair out for the first time in years and put it in a braid. Last but not least, Emma placed Killian's ring from camelot over her head.

"Love," Killian said quietly and handed her a small wooden box. "You might want this."

Emma gave him a confused look and opened the box slowly. Inside was a white gold band with a diamond on top sitting with a silver band.

"My wedding ring." She gasped and looked up at her husband. "I thought it was lost with the curse."

"No, my love. Henry and I made sure they were safe."

Emma grabbed him by the collar and pulled him in for a kiss, full of passion and love. This kiss rivaled the first one that they shared in Neverland.

"I love you." She gasped out.

"God I've waited years to hear that." Killian pulled her in by neck and kissed her back with as much passion as she gave him. "I love you too Swan."

Emma open the box and took her rings out, placing them back on her left hand where they belong.

"Come on," She said grabbing his hook, "The kids are probably waiting."

"As You Wish."

Hope and Henry had the table set on deck with a meal that would surprise Emma. With a lot of work on saving to and a little magic, it turned out pretty good.

"You think she will like it?" Hope asked nervously.

"I know so." Henry said pulling his sister in for a hug.

Henry and Hope heard footsteps coming up from below and they turned and saw their parents, walking toward the table. Emma held onto Killian by his hook, and in his hand was rum. She had on her white blouse, black leather pants and black boots. She looked more like the mother Henry knew.

"You look way better Mom." Henry said as he approached his mother for a hug.

"Thanks, kid." Emma smiled, "I feel better."

"Mom?" Hope stepped around her brother. "We have a surprise for you."

Emma smiled warmly at her daughter. "Lead the way kiddo."

She followed Hope around to the table and her heart stopped her throat. "You guys made grilled cheese?"

"With onion rings." Henry piped in

"How?" Emma asked.

"A lot of hard work and a little bit of magic." Hope answered.

Emma smiled and hugged her kids. "Thank you both so much."

"Let's eat!" Killian shouted headed to the table.

The family sat down together to eat, and if they weren't on a pirate ship in the middle of the ocean, it would have almost seemed normal. Hope, for the first time in her life, was having dinner with her brother and her parents. The conversation was light, as Killian and Emma told stories of them and their family.

"Wait, Grandma hit Grandpa in the face with a rock?" Hope asked, choking back laughter.

"Before we went through the bloody portal." Killian responded

"After that it was a jewelry box." Emma interjected.

"Wow, When I woke up last week, I never would have thought I was the granddaughter of Snow White."

The conversation shifted after that, "Hope." Emma asked carefully, staring at her glass of rum, "I know this won't be easy, but can you tell me about your past?"

Hope took a deep breath and went into her past. This time it was easier, having told her father a few days ago. She told her mother about the foster homes. Alexander, her job, school, and her dog. She told her about everything.

Emma sipped on her rum and listened intently. Did the universe hate her family for some reason? First her, now her poor baby? When She found Yzma, she was going to make her suffer greatly.

Killian put his arm over Emma's shoulder in silent support. He knew how hard this all was to hear, especially for her. They never wanted this for her, especially with what Emma had gone through as well. Emma took a big gulp of rum before she finally spoke.

"Kiddo," She addressed her daughter. "I never wanted this for you, not any of this. When I tell you, I know how you feel, I'm not being empathetic, I really truly do."

"What do you mean, Mom?"

Emma look a deep breath and Killian poured her more rum. "When I was a baby, August, who is also known as Pinocchio, took me to the diner nearest where we came out of that tree. He and I went into a foster home. August swore to Marco that he would watch after me, but instead of doing that, he ran."

Hope nodded, listening intently.

"After that I was in and out of all kinds of foster homes. I was adopted by the Swan's, but they gave me back once they had children of their own. When I was 15, I met Lily, who is also the daughter of Maleficent but that's a different story."

She raised an eyebrow at her mother.

Emma almost choked on her rum with how much her daughter looked like Killian at that moment.

"Anyway, Lily and I got into some trouble and due to that I lost another family. I was almost adopted by a woman named Ingrid but she thought I had magic so I thought the only person who could love me was someone who was certifiably insane."

"Even though we found out later she was the Ice Queen." Killian commented

"And she cursed Storybrooke with the Spell of shattered Sight." Henry added.

"What?" Hope questioned.

"Again." Emma interrupted, "Another story for another time."

"Sorry Mom. Continue." Henry said sheepishly.

"After that I met Neal.." Emma continued. "Sorry Henry, she needs to know this part."

"Its ok." Henry commented.

"I stole a stolen car that Neal had stolen first. He was my first love, and we both lived by breaking the law. When we were in Phoenix, he had gotten into trouble and stole some watches. I went to retrieve the watches for him, and he took all but one to fence them for money so we could go to Tallahassee. When we were supposed to meet, he left me to take the fall for him and I ended up in jail. It was not long after that I found out I was pregnant with your brother. I had him in jail, and I gave him up to give him his best chance, because at the time I knew it wasn't with me."

"And when he was eight, he found you right?" Hope asked quietly.

Emma nodded, "The rest you know. But Hope I need you to understand something." Emma reached across the table and took her daughter's hand. "It was not supposed to be the same with you, we did everything we could to keep you. I want you to understand that you are enough, and you always have been enough. This curse, it was different than the first ones we went through. I would have been cursed with my parents if they had kept me. If we had tried to keep you, or bring you here, Yzma would have killed you."

Hope was overflowing with emotion. Her parents literally had to give her up to save her life. It was one thing to hear it from her father, it was different to hear it from her mother as well.

"I understand Mom." Hope choked out. "I do have one question though,"

"What's that kiddo?"

"Is the car you stole that yellow bug that was in front of the house?"

Killian almost spit his rum out and Henry snorted.

"Yes, you've been home?"

Henry filled Emma in on him showing up on Hope's doorstep leading them to Storybrooke, getting to Ruby and Jefferson, and how they rescued Killian.

"At least when you showed up on my doorstep, you weren't covered in blood." Emma shrugged. "I'm glad to hear the house is in good shape. That means we can fix it when we get home."

"Speaking of home, how do we break this curse Mom?" Henry asked.

"That is a subject for tomorrow kid. We are all exhausted."

Hope nodded in agreement. "Henry made me my own space down below with him in the crew cabin so I'm going to stay down there tonight."

"Starfish, are you sure?" Killian asked.

"Yup! We split it in half."

"Which reminds me," Henry piped in, "I owe you a game of cards."

"That's right, so we're going to turn in."

Henry and Hope bid their parents goodnight and headed below deck.

"Do you think they planned that?" Killian asked his wife with a raised brow.

Emma laughed and took his hand, "Most likely."

They walked under the stars, hand in hand and in silence. Emma was just relishing in the fact that she was back with her pirate, her love, her best friend, her husband. Emma was standing at the rail looking out at the sea, and warm strong arms came around her.

"Penny for your thoughts my love?" Killian purred into her neck sending shivers down her spine.

"I've missed you so much." She whispered. "I've missed our children so much."

"We're all together now my love. That's all that matters."

His breath against her neck was almost too much for her to handle. 20 years had been far too long. She turned in his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"What is it, Love?" Killian asked as he tilted his head.

"I think this is the part when you take me to bed like a romantic pirate captain." Emma bit her lip and looked at him with hooded eyes.

"Oh Darling." He growled and lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. "As you wish."

Killian carried her down the stairs and Emma started kissing his neck, his ear, his face, any piece of exposed skin she could reach. As she bit down on his neck softly Killian growled and opened the door of their cabin, kicking it shut behind them. He spun them around and pinned Emma against the door with his hips.

"There you are my beautiful siren." Killian glowered lowly. He captured Emma's lips in a passionate kiss as her hands came up and pushed his jacket to the ground. She started working on his vest and his hand and hook trailed up her sides and pulled her shirt up. Their kiss broke long enough for Killian to lift Emma's shirt over her head and drop it on the floor. Emma pushed his vest off and it hit the floor, as she brought her hand up to his shoulders he inhaled sharply.

"Sorry love." Killian whispered. "Gashes from a mermaid."

"Holy shit, you too?"

"Aye."

Without another word Emma lifted Killian's shirt off of him and placed her hand on his shoulder, the purple glow radiating from her hand healing him. One hand on his shoulder, the other hand trailed down the front of his chest and over the plane of his abs. He was still so handsome.

"There." Emma smiled at him, "Better?"

Killian looked at her with hooded desire. "Aye darling, much."

He kissed her hard and pinned her back against the door, his hand and hook roaming over her body. He reached behind her and unsnapped her bra with his hand and let it fall down her arms as he kissed her jaw and down her neck. He took a small step back and looked at her, chest heaving, blonde hair trailing down, naked from the waist up. With an addition of a few scars, his swan was still perfect. Killian ran his hands up her sides and picked her up as she wrapped her legs around his waist. Bare chest to bare chest Killian kissed down her sternum eliciting moans of pleasure from her. As he laid her down on the bed, he ran his hand down to her chest, massaging and squeezing a rosy peak as hook teased the other. Emma felt like she was going to spontaneously combust from the pleasure jolting through her veins.

"There's my gorgeous wife." Killian growled. "You have any idea how many times I dreamt of this? Dreamt of you?"

"As many times as me." Emma gasped out grinding herself on his thigh.

Killian groaned at her and bit his lip. His control was waning. Reaching down the massaged her where she wanted him most through her pants, causing her to moan and buck into his hand. He grinned slyly and worked her boots off of her, followed by her leather pants, leaving her gloriously naked before him.

"Gods, I've missed you." Killian whispered as he kissed her chin, her sternum, down to her belly, and down to her swollen bundle of nerves. Emma gasped and bucked her hips up into his mouth, grabbing the pillow under her head for support. His tongue started working on her, lapping her up and running between her folds. It had been far too long since she had felt him, and it felt like heaven. Killian inserted two fingers inside her and watched her face contorted in pleasure. She was close and he knew it, he knew everything about her, especially how to play her body like a fine-tuned instrument.

"Killian please..." Emma gasped out.

"What do you need my love?" He growled. "Tell me."

"Hook…"

That was all he needed to hear. Killian pressed his hook against her bundle on nerves, the sensation on the cold and his fingers became to much and she came apart and the world exploded behind her eyes, biting her lip to keep quiet as she covered his hook with her essence, grinding on his hand as he rode her through her high, bringing her back down to earth.

Emma looked at her husband and bit her lip. Without a word she hooked her legs around his and flipped them over, running her hands down his chest.

"Hello handsome." She said with a grin.

She grinded on top of his manhood, feeling how much he wanted her and he groaned with his head falling back.

"Oh you wanton thing." he growled and grabbed her hips.

Emma slid herself back and worked off his boots. She grabbed the top of his pants, loosening the laces and Killian lifted his hips so she could pull his pants off, his manhood springing free. Emma took in the sight of her handsome, naked husband. It had been far too long, far too long since she's had him like this.

"I missed you pirate." She whispered, running her nails down his chest. He gasped and arched up into her, holding the sides of the bed. Emma kissed down his neck, his chest and down to his stomach, nibbling as she went. She grabbed a hold of his manhood and ran her tongue along the tip,taking him deep in her mouth.

"Oh gods…" Killian moaned, wrapping his hand in her hair.

He watched her in awe, her perfect lips wrapped around him as her head bobbed up and down, swirling her tongue around him and stroking him gently. She felt like home, and he was in heaven.

"Emma," Killian gasped. " You need to stop. Love, please"

Emma released him with a soft pop and smiled up at him. Killian picked her up from between his legs and rolled her underneath him. He kissed her passionately and set his forehead against hers.

"I don't know how gentle I can be darling." Killian whispered

"We can save gentle for later," Emma responded, kissing him softly. "Right now, I just need you. Give me my pirate back."

He growled and put her leg up over his shoulder. Lining himself up with her entrance, he slammed into her to the hilt, eliciting a gasp from both of them. It was like him returning home. He set a slow pace, thrusting all the way in to her and back out.

"Oh God, Killian." Emma gasped out. "Faster."

Primal pirate instinct it overtook him, and his pace went from slow to fast, feeling every inch of her all the way around him. Killian shifted and put her other leg up over his other shoulder, angling deeper. Emma was close, he could feel her start to flutter around him.

"Whom do you belong to?" Killian growled between thrusts.

"You." Emma gasped.

"Louder!"

"I'm yours!"

Killian rubbed his hook against her bundle of nerves and the thrust into her hard and fast, sending her over the edge within seconds as stars exploded behind her eyes as she cried out his name. He thrust a few more times and followed her over the edge, riding them both throughout their climaxes and bringing them back down to earth. Killian gently set Emma's legs down and collapsed next to her. Both of them were panting, trying to catch their breath.

"Jesus." Emma gasped, "That was…"

"Still not a one time thing." Killian finished.

Emma giggled and rolled over, laying on his chest. "No, but it was 20 years too long."

He snorted and ran his hand through her hair. "Aye love. Worth the wait?"

She propped her chin up on her hands and looked up at him. "Always."

He smiled at her and kissed her on the forehead. She reached up and unbuckled the brace holding his hook on, and pulled it off of his arm gently. Emma got up and put the hook on the desk, cleaned herself up, and crawled back into bed with her husband. Curling up next to him, she kissed the stump of his left arm and snuggled in further.

"I love you, Swan." Killian whispered softly.

"Haven't you heard?" Emma looked up at him with a smile, "It's been Jones for a very long time." Killian smiled and pulled her up and kissed her with love, passion, and every once of how much he had missed her.

"Goodnight my love."

They fell asleep wrapped in each others arms, and for the first time in 20 years, they were home
