If I considered he would give up the act for us I knew he wouldn't. Cora had a part to play in all this and I could read him like he could read me. So he went to sit down putting the act back on when the others returned. I stayed where I was seeing that Mulan and Emma were talking. Snow seemed to not remember his face so that worked in his favor. Though when Snow looked at me, she must of noticed I knew him cause when I walked walked away she followed me.

"What is it? You know this man?" Snow asked me

"I can't say." Amira said

"You're covering for his identity. Who is he to you?" Snow asked

I knew if I said the truth then I'd break a code of pirates so I just didn't say anything. I lived the pirates life and we live by a code, a promise of loyalty to the Captain. For me, loyalty was a bit more cause he wasn't just my captain but my lover. He was also the father of my unborn child so there was that which I still had to tell him. We watched as Emma and Mulan brought drinks back setting one by him and Emma interrogated him. I listened with Snow on his story about Cora and the corpses. We walked over to the group and I kept my eye on him.

"Well we need to find a way back to storybrooke, I only got about five minutes with my husband and Grandson." Snow said

"You have a grandson?" Killian said to her

When Emma grabbed him by the hair and had a knife to his neck it took everything in me not to yell stop. This was his plan, he knew how to survive that was the key to how we got through living with each other all the time. Mulan took him and started tying him to a tree and he kept to his story of a blacksmith but when Emma threatened the Ogres I had enough cutting the ropes that had him tied to a tree.

"Aunt Amira what's the meaning of this?" Emma asked

"I'm sorry Emma, but loyalty stands." Amira said

"Loyalty? Who did you swear loyalty to?" Snow asked

Killian smirked as he put his arm around me pulling me close to him and I smiled looking in his eyes. My loyalty was to my love, so yeah if someone told me years ago I'd be in love with a pirate I'd of said they were crazy.

"Well done Emma, you bested me and there's not many I can say on one hand that have done that." Killian said

Emma walked over seeing us "You're him, my aunt's lover" Emma said

"Killian Jones, but most have taken to call me by more Colorful Moniker Hook." Killian said looking at Emma while keeping Amira close

I put my hand out to Snow "The satchel, please Snow." Amira said as Snow went in the satchel bringing out the hook. She put it in the satchel then tossed it to me as I caught it glad that we had found our way back to each other.

"Thank you luv, now we need to find a way to get you back to storybrooke." Kilian said to me

"Your kidding, right? I'm not going back without you." Amira said to him

That was the truth, I never planned to return to storybrooke not until I found him but even now I found him and I still can't tell him. He looked at me though as if he could tell something was up still he led us to a beanstock still in his disguise his arm never leaving around me which to be honest I didn't mind at all considering we'd been apart for 28 years. I heard all the talking behind us as he led, they didn't trust him but I did knowing he'd never lead me to a trap. When we all stopped he got rid of that ridiculous disguise and underneath it was that leather attire I was used to him being in.

"So we need this compass to get back to storybrooke. Let's get climbing." Emma said

"Well there's one catch, there's one giant left and he enchanted to beanstock to repeal intruders." Killian said "I've got a counter spell from Cora." then made a motion to his wrist where I noticed a cuff and he showed that he had another one.

"So which one of you wants to accompany me to get the compass?" Killian asked as his eyes set on me

None of them seemed to be interested, Emma surely didn't trust him but I did. I knew this could be an adventure I'd tell our child when he or she would be growing up. I stepped close to him and he smirked at me knowing we needed to talk but clearly when we were alone. He placed my hand on his shoulder which I didn't mind at all.

"I figured it'd be you Selena, you always did like going on adventures with me." Killian said as he placed the cuff on my wrist

Mulan pulled me to the side as she handed me a bag of poppey seeds to get past the giant. I put it away for safekeeping and then went over to Killian. We walked over to the beanstalk climbing up the thing leaving my sister, my niece and the other two down below. He knew in times like these we talked about what we'd been through and things like that but this time I was unusually silent.

"Amira, luv what's wrong? Your unusually silent. You know monet men would take your silence as off-putting." Killian said

"There's a lot on my mind." Amira said

"Come on Luv, talk to me. It's been twenty eight years since we seen each other." Killian said as we continued up into the beanstalk.

"I wouldn't know where to start." Amira said

When we reached the top, I had to do this now or I'd never say anything till Cora says something. I caught him off guard as I kissed him which he kissed me back. Remember how I said he could read me well trust and believe my kiss gave hint I needed to tell him something.

"Luv, something is wrong." Killian said

"I wanted to tell you before the curse. I didn't know how to say it and I still don't know how to properly say it." Amira said

"What is it luv?" Killian asked

My mind came up with many ways of saying it but I went with a simple one "We're going to have a baby." Amira said

You could imagine all this timing but here we were going up against a giant and now he had more reason to come to storybrooke besides to find me or to Skin Rumplestiltskin. Still I felt a relief like something had been lifted off my shoulders. I don't think we need to go over all this stuff with the giant, most people don't usually make it out. We made a good plan to get past the Giant and once inside we looked at all the gold.

"wow Giants do have quite a lot of treasure." Amira said

"yes think of all the things we could take down with us." Killian said

I knew he wouldn't bring up what I said not here. No he'd wait till we were done and down with the others. Still we looked for some time before I figured it wasn't in plain sight. There was a trick wire and I grabbed.

"Selena luv." Killian said holding me close

"there's a trick wire there. be careful." Amira said

We didn't have much time and soon the giant showed up. We separated knowing he couldn't go after both of us. He fell in his own trip wire the cage landing on him. I grabbed the sword and had it near him.

"go ahead and do it. All you humans are the same." He said

"you're wrong. I'm not the bad person I just wanted the compass." Amira said

Anton passed the compass over to me. I picked it up and lowered the sword knowing this was my sisters way home, a way to have my love with me in Storybrooke. I went to walk away to find Killian when the giant stood up and opened a way to leave.

"why did you do that?" Amira asked

"you could of killed me and you didn't. Now go before I change my mind." Anton said

Killian came over seeing I had the compass and I walked with him through the way out. My mind was circling around all this knowing that the giant was nice but something told me Killian could double cross my sister for his own promise.

"luv when we get to the ground. You and I are going to have a very long conversation." Killian said to me

I knew it was coming so I didn't say anything or much at all. Still going down the beanstalk wasn't as hard as I put my feet on the ground. Snow hugged me glad I was safe and I handed her the compass.

"you got it." Snow said

"did you ever doubt me?" Amira asked

"No Ami. I didn't. I just don't trust him." Snow said

I sighed knowing my sister would never understand what I see in him. I knew that from the moment i stepped on his ship even though she encouraged me to follow my heart. I'm a pirate and I was a princess so to my sister My Captain probably isn't good enough for me. It didn't change anything but then I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Selena we need to have that talk now." Killian said

"We will." Amira said

I was afraid he was mad at me so I didn't look at him right away. We knew we had to find Cora and get the wardrobe ashes so we started walking again. Killian insisted to have us in the back of the group to talk.
