The loft
Emma sighed lying her head down on her crossed arms. She was vaguely aware of Mary Margaret placing a cup of hot cocoa with cinnamon in front of her, but she didn't take it.
"Thanks Mom." she muttered. Mary Margaret smiled sadly as she sat down beside her daughter.
"Emma, he is going to be fine." she said soothingly as Emma sat up and glared at her
"how can you always say that? You don't know that!" she spat instantly regretting the words. Mary Margaret took a deep breath before responding.
"I have h-"
"hope. I know." Emma muttered. Suddenly the phone rang causing both of to jump. After fumbling around in her pocket for a minute emma answered it.
"hello?" she asked
"Emma. It's David." Emma frowned at his tone.
"Whats wrong? What happened?" she rambled
"I'm at the hospital with Killian. He's alright, just kind of beat up." emma dropped the phone at his words
"hello? Emma? Can you hear me?" Mary Margaret grabbed the phone of the floor and continued the conversation. Emma was lost in her own thoughts. Mary Margaret startled her when she touched her arm.
"do you want to go to the hospital to see him?" she asked already knowing the answer. Emma nodded standing to grab her red leather jacket and keys with Mary following her.
"ya. Lets get Henry from Regina and robin first though. Emma said softly.
-magical time gap to hospital →
Emma was twitching her thumbs and jumped up when Dr. Whale entered.
"where is he? Can i see him?" she asked
"he's stable… he just started to wake up. Room 112." he said as the blonde began to quickly pace down the hallway.
"so, whats the verdict doc?" david asked whale sighing.
"three broken ribs, a sprained ankle, and a broken nose. Luckily he does not have a concussion. He will be sore but will be fine" whale said as he looked at the charming family and Henry. Clearing his throat he added. "now if you'll excuse me i have some other patients to tend to." once whale had left, Mary Margaret turned to David.
"where did the other captain go? I mean she clearly did some damage." she asked. David sighed
"honestly, i don't know. I was too busy calling an ambulance for hook. By the time i turned around both she and her sidekick were gone.
"she must think he's dead." Henry said after a moment causing both of his grandparents to look at him startled.
"why on earth would you say that Henry?" Mary asked shocked
"killian told me. In order for a pirate captain to lose a duel and give the other control of his ship he had to die." Henry muttered. David rubbed his temples
"did you tell Emma this?" watching as Henry sheepishly shook his head.
"Killian made me swear not too."
Mary Margaret cleared her throat.
"so let me get this straight. We've got a blood thirsty pirate captain on the loose, who attacked Hook and we don't even have a motive? She asked.
-break to killians hospital room
Emma took a deep breath before pushing the door of the room open. Greeting her was a pirate captain smiling painfully.
"hello love." he rasped. "come to handcuff me again? He questioned raising his eyebrows. Emma laughed softly as she recalled this similar situation after the car accident. So much had changed since then.
"afraid not captain." she murmured sitting next to him. "how do you feel?" Killian chuckled before wincing at the pain.
"honestly love, its my pride that hurts most" Emma nodded
"how did you let a 13 year old beat you?" she teased. Killian looked up at her with a somber expression before responding
"She distracted me. Reminded me of something i had hoped to forget." at Emma's questioning look he continued.
"you have to understand love, i am not this man anymore." Emma smiled and nodded
"it was decades ago. Me and some of my men were heading to a tavern when out of no where this man comes up and struck me. Said i killed his father. I was angry love. Wasn't thinking straight. I killed him. But just before he did, i asked him his name. It was Liam Brennan Jones. I killed my brother." Emma looked confused
"I thought Liam died in neverland." she stated watching Killian hesitate
"He did. My father had another child with a different woman. That's why i killed him." hook murmured looking up at emma regret filling his eyes. Emma squeezed his hand reassuringly before looking confused.
"What does this pirate captain have to do with that? She questioned. Killian inhaled sharply
"Captain Red Handed Jill is Liams daughter. She wanted to avenge both her father and grandfather I expect." he said rubbing his bandages nose Emma frowned letting the information sink in.
"that would her your niece." she said softly.
"aye. Though i doubt she knows that." killian murmured softly.
