This is it :( I can hear my heart breaking.

Emma's P.O.V.

I woke up in my bed alone. The sheets were much colder than last night, and no light poured through the windows. I squinted my eyes at the clock. 5:00 am. What in the world was Killian doing up this early? I could hear quiet chattering from downstairs and got up to investigate.

There was a quiet pitter-patter as I came downstairs. I looked behind me and froze in my tracks.

Henry and Killian were sitting on the couch, with Henry's feet in Killian's lap. They were both fixed on the TV, with Killian occasionally asking questions about the characters on the screen. I quickly realized that they were watching Peter Pan, and the cruel adaptation of the pirate was on the screen.

"What do you mean I wear hats with feathers in them, lad? And that hair… where are all my rings?" Killian continued to question as Henry continued to laugh.

"This is the Disney version of Peter Pan, Killian. It's not accurate, don't worry," Henry quickly explained.

"Well whatever this 'Disney' thing is, I certainly disagree with it. I am much more devilishly handsome than this fool," Killian complained. I snickered quietly until I joined them on the couch, right on the other side of Killian, in my pj's. "Well good morning lass," he said as he kissed my cheek.

"Good morning. What's got you two up so early?" I asked curiously. Killian looked over to Henry, who nodded eagerly.

"We're going sailing, darling," Killian said as he turned his head back to me with a cheeky grin. I raised an eyebrow at the two of them and their smug grins. It was then that I realized they were both dressed, Killian choosing his pirate garb minus the long coat today. I sighed at the two troublemakers.

"Fine. Let me get dressed, then we can go grab a hot chocolate or a coffee from Granny's." I stood and walked to my room, not believing that I was going sailing with my pirate boyfriend and my son, aboard the Jolly Roger. I threw on a pair of jeans and a red tank top. I brushed out the tangles from my golden blonde hair and grabbed my black leather boots. I stumbled downstairs while putting them on- I hadn't fully woken up yet. Killian was leaning on the kitchen counter as Henry went on and on about the tales of Captain Jack Sparrow and the Dread Pirate Roberts. Killian nodded as Henry carried on. I leaned on the counter next to Killian with a small smile. "Ready?" I asked my pirate and- unfortunately- future pirate. They both nodded eagerly and I grabbed the keys to the apartment. I walked out with the two of them close behind me.

"Now since your mother was so smart last night, the car is down by the docks, so we'll have to walk," Killian explained to Henry behind my back. I flipped a glare to him over my shoulder, which he replied to with a charming smirk of his own.

"I don't mind the walk too much. It's not terribly cold outside right now anyway, which is a nice change," Henry explained to Killian, who ruffled his hair. I couldn't help but smile at how easily those two fell into friendship. My heart skipped a beat when I realized that Henry could one day call Killian 'Dad'.

I walked into Granny's dinner, finally awake after the early morning summons. Ruby looked shocked to see me, her red cloak hanging over her shoulders.

"Emma? What're you up to at," she paused to glance at the clock, "5:30 am? There's no danger running the streets, I promise," she said with a smile laugh and tugged at her red cloak slightly. I returned the smile as Killian and Henry stepped in behind me.

"Well someone decided that we were going sailing today, and I do believe this requires some coffee, or maybe some hot chocolate," I explained, looking at the other two with sideways glances. Ruby smiled knowingly.

"Coming right up." She sauntered back to the kitchen to make the three hot chocolates while we sat at the bar. Henry spun on his stool, his smile beaming with excitement.

"I can't believe I get to sail a pirate ship," he whispered excitedly. Killian chuckled lightly.

"Well lad, we'll see how the weather is. That will decide how much time behind the helm you get," he explained gently. Henry nodded enthusiastically. Ruby plopped three to–go cups of hot cocoa on the bar.

"Three cups of hot chocolate, all with cinnamon and whipped cream, to-go," Ruby declared with a smile all too cheery for 5:30 in the morning. I set the money on the counter and turned to leave the diner and head to the docks. As the three of us walked toward the ship, I couldn't help but smile and the pirate and my son as they walked ahead slightly. If Henry teased Killian, he teased back, and vice versa. It felt normal to me, even comfortable. Killian fell so easily into our little family, as if he had belonged all along. He has belonged all along, I suddenly realized. We were True Loves. Soul mates. Partners. Lovers. Best Friends. And for the first time in what felt like forever, I was comfortable with putting a few labels on the relationship I had with Killian. It finally made sense.

Killian took Henry's hand and helped him aboard the ship. He followed Henry up the gangplank as I followed Killian.

"Back on this boat," I said with a sigh, not intended to offend. I ran right into the back of Killian and began to lose my footing. I yelped as I suddenly slid off the plank and into the freezing water with a splash. I popped back up instantly, shivering and clattering my teeth. "Hook!" I screamed. "What the hell?!" He leapt back down to the dock and helped fish me out of the water. There was a colorful smile on his face. I would've smacked it off if Henry hadn't run to the side of the ship to watch.

"Ship," Killian said suddenly as he helped me stand.

"What?"

"She's a ship. She doesn't like to be called a boat, love," Killian teased, now wrapping an arm around me and my shivering form.

"Thanks, jackass," I mumbled under my breath, but loud enough for Killian to hear. "If you hadn't stopped I wouldn't have fallen." He picked me up suddenly, making me yelp as he carried me aboard the Roger.

"That's what you get for calling her a boat," Killian repeated, still wearing a smug smirk. I punched his shoulder, which made him pretend to drop me. I instantly threw my arms around his neck, finding my body warming up when it was around his.

"Mom! Are you okay?" Henry asked, running towards us. I nodded slowly.

"Yeah, just soaking wet and frozen, thanks to our genius captain here," I explained, shooting a glare at Killian. He chuckled before addressing Henry.

"Lad, why don't you make sure the deck is a tad bit neater? Some of the boxes and buckets were knocked over last night with the weather," Killian explained as he surveyed the deck. Henry nodded, eager to have a job. Henry took off while Killian shifted me in his arms. "Now let's deal with you, lass," he said as he carried me below deck and into his quarters. "Gods you're freezing Swan."

"I-I know," I chattered. I nestled closer to the pirate in hopes of warming up, but he set me down on his bed before going over to a trunk. I was tossed a pair of leather pants and a loose white shirt.

"Put those on, and when you're done I'll find a way to deal with your clothes," Killian explained as he turned his back and stared out the back window.

"And you're just going to stand there?"

"Does it bother you, love?" Killian asked with a smirk, looking at me out of the corner of his eye. I couldn't bring myself to say no, so when he turned his back, I started striping the wet clothes off, save for my underwear and bra, which thankfully weren't as bad as my shirt and jeans. I dumped my boots onto the ground and shimmied into the leather pants he'd thrown at me.

"Where'd you get these clothes anyway?" I asked curiously.

"I've been a pirate for centuries Swan, I've obviously grown at some point in my life," Killian replied with humor. "Not to mention I've had the odd female crew member before, once or twice." I slipped into the white shirt and rubbed my arms. I was feeling warmer already. "It'll be nice weather for sailing, love," he said as he turned around and looked at me with one of the biggest grins I've ever seen. "And don't you look just ravishing," he said as he stepped over to me. We dove in for a quick kiss before taking a step back. I picked the sopping wet clothes off the floor and held them up in question. He hummed a moment before taking the tank top and jeans from my hands and walking over to a bucket. He placed his teeth on one end of my shirt and his hand on the other, slowly squeezing the water out without taking his eyes off of mine. He repeated this process for my jeans. He dumped the water out of my boots into the bucket and handed me back the shoes. My clothes now hung from a beam in his cabin to dry fully. He began to walk past me and toward the deck until I stopped him.

"Wait, I didn't tell you I was done changing. How'd you know to turn around?" I asked curiously. He chucked before turning slowly to face me.

"Darling, that window is so clean that it serves as a better mirror than a window," he whispered with a wink before turning around. I glared daggers at the back of his head.

"What happened to being a gentleman?" I yelled after him.

"I'm always a gentleman. I admired not only from a distance, but rather subtly, don't you think?" Killian replied without turning around. I opened my mouth to yell back, to say that he had violated my space, until we came face to face with Henry above deck.

"Mom, you look really great," Henry said in admiration as he examined my outfit. I chuckled lightly and ruffled his hair.

"Thanks kid. Are we ready to head out, captain?" I asked, deciding to yell at the pirate for his actions later. Or perhaps I could just punish him for it…

"The term is 'set sail', darling," he replied. The glimmer in his eye told me that he knew exactly what I was thinking about. I scowled at his impish smile. "Let's go lad," he ushered to Henry to follow him to the helm, but not before giving me a dark look that read 'I'll deal with you later, you little minx.'

The two of them were soon behind the wheel of the Roger, and I stood gazing fondly from the deck. The wind chilled me only a little, and I was busy drinking away Killian's hot chocolate, since mine was now floating around in the Storybrooke harbor. He didn't seem to mind; he was too busy training his pirate to be. Henry now wore Killian's long leather coat, which on him, hit the deck it was so long. The sleeves were pulled up a tad as Killian taught Henry how to sail the massive ship. As we sailed across the ocean, Killian sauntered over to me slowly.

"You trust him alone already?"

"Lad's a natural," Killian replied. "C'mere lass, you've got something on your lip." Before I could think, he'd pulled me into a kiss, licking greedily at my top lip. I didn't have time to react before he pulled back and licked his own lips slowly, giving me chills that definitely weren't from the cold. "I believe it's called 'whipped cream'," he explained before sinfully licking his lips again. I glared at him.

"My son is aboard this ship. Watch it, pirate," I said.

"Aye, love, he's the only thing stopping me right now," he said as he glanced over his shoulder at Henry. I poked him in the chest.

"Watch it." I walked over to Henry and stood behind him, setting a hand on his shoulder. "How goes the sailing?"

"Amazing! I love it," Henry replied. I could already see pieces of Killian in him. Great… a pirate before he's even 14. "We should do this more often, mom," Henry begged, focusing his eyes on the sea. I nodded and chuckled.

"We'll see kiddo," I said as a hooked arm came around my waist.

"'We'll see'? Lad, you are welcome aboard my ship any time you'd like," Killian said, setting his only good hand on Henry's other shoulder. Henry smiled widely.

"Thanks Killian," he said. Killian pulled me close against him as each of us had a hand on Henry's shoulders. I felt his lips brush against my ear.

"Is this what family is love? It's been so long," Killian asked quietly, out of earshot of Henry.

"Yes Killian," I replied, "and it's only going to get better."

This feels kinda weird to be done.
