How about that last episode? Anyone else almost cry when they found out who was in the witch's cell? I fell off my couch cause I was so happy.

Hook's P.O.V.
I knelt by her side and watched her lie peacefully in sleep. I ran an ungloved hand through her hair with disbelief. Gone. She was gone. She'd slipped through my fingers just like that. I laid a hand on her arm; she was ice cold. I shrugged off my leather jacket and slipped her arms into it so she wouldn't freeze. I picked up her broken body and started to walk back to the place we were staying at.
Since it was so late, there were far fewer people on the street. Although I did gain a few strange looks, a few whispers, murmurs and such, I carried her with pride. I pushed my way into the large building and to that magic box thing. I pushed the button that Emma usually pushed with my fake hand and waited for that weird dinging noise. Once I heard the noise, I stepped into the magic box and pressed 7. I waited for it to let me out onto the floor we were on. I carried her over to our room and paused at the door. I had no key once again. I managed to get myself in like I had earlier that day by toying with the lock and door handle (Pirate's secret, sorry). I closed the door behind me and laid her down on the bed.
I sat next to her with a deep frown. I noticed a silver chain protruding from the pocket of my coat. I slipped my hand inside and pulled out my necklace. I gave a weak smile upon seeing it again. I clasped it onto my neck without hesitation and sighed.
This wasn't the way I wanted her to find out. Not like this. I didn't want all of this mess with Colin and such. I wouldn't ever want to bring her pain or suffering, and I especially didn't want to put this curse upon her. I twirled a strand of her hair in my fingers with another depressing sigh. I sat against the backboard of the bed and laid her in my lap. Her back rested against my chest and her head laid on my right shoulder. I wrapped my arms around her waist and gave a squeeze.
A light caught my eye. Her charm was starting to glow a silvery white color. I looked down at the half a swan on my neck. It glowed the same color. True Love...
I titled her head up and kissed her lightly. I suddenly felt electricity surge through my body, a sudden feeling shattering the silence. Emma's eyes opened widely and she gasped for air. She looked around quickly, as if not knowing where she was. Her breath was quickening. I placed a hand on her waist.
"Easy, love. Breathe," I said into her neck. She calmed down a bit. "You're ok. You're going to be ok Swan," I said. She whipped her head around to face me.
"Killian?" I smiled widely with a sigh of relief.
"Swan." She tackled me instantly in a warm embrace, throwing her arms around my neck. She straddled my lap and held onto me. I wrapped both arms around her waist and she backed up to look at me.
"Look, I'm really sorry for what happened. It's just that I've been broken for so long and I don't know how to trust and I-"
"Emma," I said, stopping her in the middle of her words. I leaned forward and pressed my lips to hers. I felt her settle into my lap even more so and all her tension seemed to vanish. We put everything we had into that kiss, a kiss of true love. After oxygen became a necessity, we broke off with smiles. "Try something new, love. It's called trust," I said and held her close. She nodded against my chest.
"Maybe it wouldn't hurt to give it a try," she said, her eyes peeking up at me. I smiled warmly down at her and pecked her cheek.
"Now perhaps you could slip into something more...comfortable and we could get some...sleep," I said, throwing in a wink with a trademark grin. She slapped my shoulder lightly.
"A pirate kicking a woman off his lap. There's something new," Emma said to me. I raised an eyebrow.
"A pirate, m'lady? I believe a gentlemen would be the correct term." I yanked her close to me again, her ear right by my lips. "Or perhaps, with time, prince would fit me even better. What do you think, princess?" I whispered into her ear.
"Killian!" Emma yelled out, backing up quickly with an unpleased smirk on her face. I gave her my own grin in return.
"Only kidding darling. But I must say, you look absolutely ravishing in that coat," I said flirtatiously. She looked down at herself, as if now finally realizing she had my jacket on.
"It's rather heavy. How do you manage with this thing on?" Swan asked curiously. I quirked an eyebrow in amusement.
"Pirate's secret love. Maybe someday you'll learn," I explained, now crossing my legs on the bed. She smiled widely.
"Will you actually teach me?" She asked, almost suggesting that I was too lazy to teach her.
"It would be bad form to lie, love," I said. "I think you'd make a fine pirate darling," I continued. She flashed a grin at me.
"Maybe someday. But right now I think you need to go take a shower or something," she said, arms crossed over her chest.
"Care to join me?" I offered. She raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, I don't think so. Go on, I'll wait up for you," Emma said and plopped down on the couch. I hopped off the bed and walked into the bathroom to use the magic shower device.
Back in Storybrooke...
Henry's P.O.V.
The three of us huddled around the phone in the kitchen. I'd been waiting for this all day. Mary Margaret dialed Emma's number.
"Hello?" I heard.
"Hi Emma," Mary Margaret said.
"Oh, hi Mary Margaret," Emma replied. There was a bit of a silence after that as we all looked at one another.
"How's it going?" Mary Margaret finally asked.
"Uh, good. Am I on speaker?" Emma asked quickly. David sighed and I started to laugh. I looked at Mary Margaret with an 'I told you so' look. She glared at me.
"Hi mom!" I finally said with a smile.
"Hey kid. How's school?"
"Good. We miss you here!" I exclaimed. Emma chuckled quietly.
"Well I miss you too. Is David there too?" Emma asked.
"Hey Emma," David replied.
"Hey David. How's the station?"
"Slow. Which I guess is a good thing," David said with a small laugh.
"So how's Boston? Did you find him yet?" Mary Margaret asked eagerly.
"Yeah, actually I did," Emma explained, a hint of mischievousness in her voice. David looked at Mary Margaret and whispered something. "I can hear you whispering. What?" Emma asked.
"What's his name? What's he like? C'mon Emma, I wanna know all about him!" Mary Margaret exclaimed. This was it!
"He's a really great guy. Don't worry, you'll all get to see him again tomorrow night when we get home," she said. I smiled widely. I knew it. Mary Margaret's mouth hung open and David laid his head down on the counter and sighed.
"Again? What do you mean again?" Mary Margaret asked loudly. I heard Emma chuckle.
"Oh, I gotta go. I'll talk to you guys later. I love you!" Emma yelled before hanging up the phone. Mary Margaret didn't move. She just stood there with the phone in her hand, staring at David.
"Told ya," I said with a wide grin. David looked at me.
"Can this family tree get anymore tangled up?" David asked with a light humor in his voice. I smiled back.
"Henry, we understand if you're upset, because we know Neal is your father and now you more than likely have Hook-"
"Are you kidding?" I said, interrupting Mary Margaret. She stopped with a confused look. "I'm more than excited! I get a pirate for a step-dad and my mom will be happy. I love Neal too, but I've been waiting way too long to go sailing with Killian," I said with a larger than life grin. David and Mary Margaret smiled at one another.
"Well, we'll see what Emma has to say about that when she gets back," Mary Margaret said and started to clean up the kitchen from dinner. I smiled and plopped down on the couch, beginning to count the hours until my mom and Killian got home.
Emma's P.O.V.
I was snuggled up to Killian's side. We were both in much comfier clothes now and exhausted.
"How're you feeling darling?" Killian asked as he continued to run his hand through my hair. I hummed in contentment.
"A little sore, but other than that I've never been better," I replied. He pecked the top of my head.
"What do you think your parents will say?" Killian asked me quietly. The quiet wasn't necessary, as we for once weren't running from some evil force or some mythical creature, but it was comforting.
"I'm not sure. I think they're on to us," I replied.
"How well does your boy keep secrets?" Killian asked. I rolled over and leaned up on my elbows, giving him a curious look.
"Pretty well, but depends on the secret I guess. Why do you ask?"
"He may have known something longer than you darling," Killian replied, the incoming moonlight lighting up his blue eyes even more so.
"What are you talking about?" I asked again. He smirked.
"Your lad caught me wearing my charm one morning. He knew days before you did," he explained. I raised an eyebrow.
"You told Henry before you told me? Is that why Henry tried to convince me to find the other half?" I asked as the pieces finally slid into place and it finally all made sense.
"Perhaps lass. Perhaps," Killian replied.
"So who did the X charm belong to then?" I asked, trying to finish the puzzle at hand.
"It was Milah's. I only wore it because I was waiting for the perfect time to tell you. I believe it was an X due to the fact that she left Rumpelstiltskin for me instead. She was considered a traitor to many people, including Baelfire," Killian explained as I felt sick. A chill ran down my spine. "You alright love?"
"I'm fine." He must've felt my chills and shudders.
"No you're not. Was it something I said?"
"Neal. What're we gonna do about him?" I asked while biting my lip. He sighed heavily.
"Don't worry about him lass."
"What's Henry going to think? He's got two dads and two moms," I said, for the first time actually analyzing Henry's unfortunate situation.
"Darling, Neal and I get along fine if that's what you're asking," Killian said. I shrugged.
"Do you think he'll be ok?" I asked with a serious voice. Killian nodded in return.
"How about this. When we get back, you, Henry and I will take the Roger out for a sail. Your lad has been after me for months about learning how to sail that ship," Killian suggested. I smiled.
"That sounds perfect," I replied. I leaned forward and placed a chaste kiss on his lips. "Just promise me something."
"What's that, sweetheart?"
"You won't turn Henry and I into pirates." A chuckle left his lips.
"Darling, as much fun as that would be, you have my word."
Omg I'm like so sorry I fell off the face of the earth for like, ever. Hopefully this chapter will gain your forgiveness? Maybe? (:
