It's nights like this when he remembers life at the sea the most. When the sky is clear and the constellations shine through the artificial lights of the town, it's when his mind goes back to those days spent in the sea. When nights like this, used to drift his mind away from any though of revenge, and his only consolation after Liam's and Milah's death, where the starts shining above him and the promise of one day being reunited with them. Those were lonely nights, but a sense of hope always stayed with him in his sleep.
After meeting Emma and finding another reason to live other than vengeance, the stars started to loose their meaning, since Emma herself was now his hope. Loosing her to a curse, made him spend nights staring at the stars again, asking his brother's help to get through the pain, and wondering if she was happy.
Stars gained a whole different meaning, when he finally won Emma's heart in its totality and they broke the Dark One's curse, they spent many nights together, loving each other underneath them. Now gazing at the stars didn't fill him with hope, it filled him with memories of love and happiness. And though many just though they choose it because it was a beautiful name, naming their daughter Estella had been no coincidence.
Estella, the little princess who held stars in her bright blue eyes -even if her mother kept insisting it reminds her of the sea-, enjoyed learning about the stars as much as her brother used to do, when Emma kept sending Henry with him as a mean of entertainment. Now, there wasn't much Henry didn't know about stars; he had even helped him navigate through the sea of a land called Camelot, though no one was impressed, he's always been a brilliant boy.
Estella's eyes shine with excitement every time her dad takes her down to the beach to tell her more about the stars, and his heart fills with happiness when he realises that she's his. His and Emma's.
Estella, his little star.
Estella comes from the Latin word 'Estella' which means star. In case you didn't know.
