Ch27 - Patrol

We walked out of the station and across the lot, climbing into the car; I grinned when my dad slipped in behind the wheel. He turned to me and spoke.

"I was thinking we could drive through Main Street, past the docks and go to the town line"

I nodded in agreement, before speaking.

"Sounds good to me dad, but let's try not to come across a new villain, an ice wall or a freakin' time portal on this patrol; because, I like everyone else is happy that Storybrooke has managed to stay peaceful for this long"

He laughed, before starting the car; once we made it out of the parking lot, we headed in the direction of Main Street. We took our time, glancing left and right as we drove down the street; we then made our way to the docks, I grinned when I spotted the Jolly.

We then eventually got to the town line, we stopped; parking at the side of the road, we sat in a comfortable silence, it only broke when my dad spoke, I could hear laughter in his tone as he did.

"Do you know, I can't get that image of cartoon Hook out of my head; I'm sure it wasn't easy for you to keep a straight face either"

I laughed softly, I took a breath; before speaking.

"It was kind of difficult, and because I grew up in this world; I knew about those movies, so when we had to go to Neverland to save Henry and during our trek I briefly mentioned the cartoon to Killian. So when Henry text me this morning, Killian was still asleep; so I had to wait until he was up to show him, and Henry being the thoughtful kid he is wanted me to be one to show Killian the image. When I eventually did, I wasn't completely surprised by his reaction; and well that's when I decided to ask if I could show it to you. Because he got to mock the cartoon version of you, so it was only fair that you got the same opportunity"

My dad smiled, before laughing softly.

"So I'm guessing that the movie he features in isn't accurate?"

I nodded, before speaking again.

"Yeah, Peter Pan is the hero; and Hook is the villain, who's also afraid of a crocodile. And if I remember correctly, the crocodile was the reason that Hook lost his hand, and he's also afraid of the ticking of a clock"

My dad turned to look at me, a small smile formed on his lips; he took a breath before speaking.

"Pan's a hero? Wow! Maybe it would be best to not let Hook watch that movie, but the question is are you going to tell him about it? You know the whole crocodile, being responsible for his hand being taken thing"

I smiled softly, before shrugging.

"I don't know dad, I mean; I know deep down that I should, but I don't know how he's going to react to the whole crocodile thing"

He nodded in understanding, he placed his hand on my arm; he cleared his throat before speaking.

"If you tell him, it means you won't have to show him; do you think his reaction will be good or bad?"

I shrugged again, taking a breath; before I answered.

"I guess I could tell him about it, and you're right as he probably won't want to watch it after I explain the plot; and I honestly don't know what his reaction will be"

He nodded, before starting the car again; we then headed back into the town, we stopped outside Granny's. We got out of the car, I then lifted my phone out of my pocket and called Killian.

I held my breath, waiting for him to answer. I smiled when I heard his voice.

"Hello love, are you still at the station?"

I replied.

"Actually my dad and I went on patrol, but we've finished; we're at Granny's if you want to join us?"

I could hear the smile in his voice when he spoke again.

"Sounds good to me Swan, I'll see you in a few minutes"

I smiled.

"See you soon Killian"

We ended the call, I then headed into the diner; I spotted my dad sitting at our usual booth. I smiled, as I sat down facing him; I took a breath, before speaking.

"I called Killian, he's going to be here in a few minutes; would it be ok if we had lunch and then I headed home with Killian? I'm going to tell him about the movie, and it would be better if we were at home"

My dad nodded in agreement.

"Yeah that's ok, I'll cover the rest of your shift; because this is one conversation that the patrons of Granny's shouldn't overhear"

We then sat in a comfortable silence; as we waited for Killian to join us, after a few minutes I heard the familiar jingle as the door opened.

I smiled softly, as Killian made his way over to our booth; he sat down beside me, he leaned down and kissed my cheek. He then turned to greet my dad, we placed our order; and while we waited, I spoke.

"So after lunch, I was thinking we could go home together; my dads going to cover the rest of my shift, because there's something I want to talk to you about when we get back home"

I felt it as Killian shifted slightly to look at me, he quirked an eyebrow; before speaking.

"Is something the matter love? Why can't we talk about it here?"

I smiled softly, taking a deep breath; before speaking.

"No, nothings wrong; it's just what I want to talk about, well it's not something that everyone here needs to know"

He looked at me, his expression changed; he titled his head, before speaking; frustration in his tone.

"Emma, just tell me what's going on?"

I swallowed softly, before speaking.

"It's about the image that Henry sent me this morning, it's from a movie called Peter Pan. But that's not what I wanted to tell you, so can you please wait until we get home?"

He relented, and just in time; as our food arrived. We ate in silence, my dad smiled at us; before insisting that he was paying for our lunch.

Killian and I then headed home, my nerves getting the better of me; once we got there, we made our way over to the couch. We sat down, I reached out and placed my hand in his.

I took another breath, before speaking.

"So what I'm about to tell you, isn't easy; and I want you to promise that you'll let me say what I need to say, before you say anything"

He nodded, watching my face; before smiling assuringly at me.

"Ok so the movie is called Peter Pan, it's another movie that Walt Disney did. I've been torn between telling you and not telling you, but my dad convinced me that it was the right thing to do. I want you to remember that you're nothing like that cartoon and that I love you. But you're not going to like this, because in the story Peter Pan; well he's the hero, and you're the villain. But to make matters worse you're also afraid of a crocodile..."

He interrupted me.

"I'm not surprised, as he's the reason I lost my hand"

I took another breath, before speaking again.

"Well you're not going to like this when I tell you, that the cartoon version of you gets his hand taken by a crocodile as well..."

I heard as his breath caught, he cleared his throat; before speaking.

"Is this why you didn't want to talk about this at Granny's?"

"Yeah, I thought it would have been better to have that conversation here; and my dad thought so too, we just didn't want the other patrons to overhear that particular detail of a crocodile taking a hand"

His expression changed again, and I noticed it was unreadable.

"I guess I should be grateful, and I'm sorry for my outburst of frustration; you were just trying to protect me, and I love you too Emma. Thank you for telling me, you have saved me from having to watch it"

I smiled softly, before leaning up; softly brushing my lips across his, we sat like that for a few minutes that's when I tried to lean back to see his face.

I gasped softly as his lips pressed firmly against mine, I temporarily broke the kiss; so that I could move to straddle him. We both groaned slightly, before the kiss deepened...
