Emma groaned as she rolled over and hit the off button on the dream ruining alarm. Looking over to the other side of the bed she frowned noting that her handsome one-handed boyfriend wasn't next to her. Sighing she changed into her normal work office and made her way down the stairs where her nose immediately picked up the scent of cinnamon pancakes. Stomach growling she entered the kitchen and tried not to laugh at the sight that greeted her eyes. Killian was standing before the stove wearing a pink and red checked apron. She couldn't help the chuckle that escaped her throat when she saw the flour in his hair. Hearing her laugh Killian turned.
"Mornin' love." He smirked
"Morning" Emma smiled as she sat down at the table
"What's the occasion?" She questioned the pirate
"Do I need a reason to make a delicious breakfast for the best sheriff Storybrooks ever seen?" He said as he plated the pancakes and carried a plate to the table and placing it front of Emma.
"Suppose not." Emma said as she dug into her pancakes.
"Oh My God Killian these are delicious!" She exclaimed as she shoveled down her food
"Thank you Swan. Henry gave me the recipe. He's coming to see you today at the office. Called me on the phellyphone earlier. Said he needed to show us both something." Killian rambled
Emma looked concerned. "Something? Like what? Nothing to do with the Dark One stuff right?" Killian flinched as he recalled the memory of the darkness that had clouded his mind and led to his death only 10 months prior.
"I'm sure it's nothing like that love. You know how excited he gets." Emma nodded.
"We should be on our way to the station then." She said trying to hide the worry in her voice.
"Aye Swan."
The Sheriff's Station
15 minutes later Emma's yellow bug pulled up in front of the sheriff's station. Entering the office Emma smiled as she spotted Henry spinning around in the office chair.
"Having fun kid?" She asked laughing. Henry blushed
"Mom!" He groaned as Emma ruffled his hair.
"Hello Henry." Killian said as he entered a few minutes later after parking the car.
"Hi." Henry said smiling at the pirate
"You wanted to show us something mate?" Killian said getting right to the subject
"Oh yeah." Henry turned and pulled the fairy tale book out of his backpack. Turning to the back off the book he opened to a piece of strange parchment.
"This appeared last night. I was reading the book and suddenly it got really warm then this appeared." Emma glanced at the parchment covered with weird calligraphic writing with a blood red handprint in the corner.
"I can't read it" she muttered. Killian picked up the parchment and stiffened when he saw the handprint.
"Red Handed Jill." He muttered
"Who?" Emma asked looking to Henry who shrugged
"A pirate captain love. Never actually met her myself, but if the stories are to believed she is not a lass you want to cross."
"Lass? Like she's a girl?" Henry said surprised. Emma shot him a glare. Hook ignored his question and continued reading
"Aye lad. And from the looks of this, she's coming to see me."
"Why would a pirate you've never met want to meet you?" Emma asked scowling. Killian ran his hand through his hair before responding.
"Meet may be a strong term love. This is a summoning to a duel." Emma wrinkled her brows in confusion
"Come again?" She asked. Killian sighed
"She wants us to sword fight until one of us gives the other their ship." He said looking up at Emma
"Why would want the Jolly Roger?" Henry asked
"I honestly have no clue lad. But I guarantee that her motives aren't going to be good." Killian said
"Killian… This fight, Its just until one of you gives up control of your ship right?" Killian could see the worry in Emma's eyes and he inhaled deeply
"Aye love."
"Well then theirs no need to worry. I mean I'm sure Killian will get her ship in no time Mom." Henry said smiling brightly at the pirate captain. Killian nodded and cleared his throat just as Emma's phone Beeped. She sighed and read the text.
"I've got to go guys, Grumpy and the dwarfs are fighting with Will Scarlet down at Granny's."
"See you later then love." Killian said kissing her cheek. Henry made a face before hugging Emma goodbye. After Emma left, the 13 year old turned to the pirate captain.
"Talk." He said crossing his arms
"About what lad?" Killian questioned innocently
"Why did you lie to my mom about what happens at a duel"
"Wh-what?" Killian stammered. Henry glared at him.
"Okay fine. And I didn't lie to her lad, I just didn't tell her everything"
"Same thing" henry said rolling his eyes. Killian sighed
"Look lad. There's only one way a pirate takes another pirates ship in a duel. Through bloodshed."
"You mean, one of you has to die." Henry muttered looking up at the pirate. Killian swallowed
"Aye lad." Suddenly he froze.
"You have to swear not to tell Emma this."
"I can't do that." Henry said defiantly "She already lost you once."
"I know lad. Just don't tell her until we are sure that it is what the captain wants."
Henry sighed "Okay, but I am not covering for you if you get caught by Mom."
