Chapter 5

Emma awoke in Killian's arms, blinking at the glaring sun.

"Emma!" She heard Mary Margret gasp.

"Mom!" Henry shouted as she sat up and was tacked in a hug.

Killian sat up next to her and looked around frantically. "Emma! Where are they?!" he said fearfully.

"Whatever you're looking for is a remnant of the spell," Regina said from behind them.

"Spell? What spell? Where are the children?" Killian demanded

Emma reached out to take Killian's hand with tears in her eyes, "They weren't real?" She asked.

"What the Bloody Hell is going on?" Killian insisted again.

"You two were placed under a curse by Maleficent." Regina explained. "A version of a sleeping curse, which is her specialty."

"I don't understand." Emma said as Mary Margret and David sat on the edge of the bed.

"It wasn't REAL, Miss Swan." Regina said again.

"But they WERE real!" Killian insisted his voice thick with tears.

"I'm afraid not." Regina said with a bored tone.

Killian stood abruptly, dropping Emma's hand and bolting from the room. She would follow him in a minute, but she need more information. "You couldn't be a little more gentle, Regina?" Emma said sarcastically. Regina just shrugged. "Can you be a bit more specific about what happened?"

"Emma honey," Snow decided to take over the explanation. "Maleficent's curse was designed to keep the person under it forever by creating a dream environment. The spell taps into what the person desires the most, things they may not even realize they want. The person is kept so happy in the dream that they don't realize what it actually is. If they can't wake themselves from the spell, then they end up wasting away."

"Mom, what happened? What did you dream?" Henry asked her.

Emma pulled Henry into a hug as she tried to figure out what to say. It was hard to explain to a room full of her family what apparently her deepest desires were. "It was so real. We were just living a normal life together. We had two….two children and…." She stopped, her voice breaking. "I held them and kissed them and loved them. How was it not real?" Emma shook her head to compose herself. "How long?"

"You were under the curse for almost a week. Right after Ursula left." Charming answered. "How were you able to break it?"

"We had a feeling that something was wrong. I could hear you all occasionally, I just didn't realize it was you. It ended up being Henry though." Emma turned to look at her son. "You told us to believe and everything came together. We remembered what was missing and the curse broke."

"Emma," Mary Margret looked at her daughter. "We're working on a plan to find and defeat Maleficent and Gold. You should go find Killian."

Emma looked at all the people surrounding her and tried to smile reassuringly. "We'll be back," she said and left to find him.

He was by the dock near the Jolly, as she had expected. His hook was dug into the railing and his head was cast down. "Killian?" Emma reached her hand out to touch his shoulder.

"Was it really just a part of a curse?" He asked her, his voice thick with emotion. "I remember holding them, Swan. How were they not real?"

Emma took a deep breath, trying to think of how to explain everything to him. She fought through her curse memories and her real ones. "Killian," she said entwining her fingers with his. "Just because they weren't real, doesn't mean they can't be. You told me I was your happy ending." Killian's back went rigid as she continued. "That's the night Maleficent cursed us. You left before Mary Margret explained what the curse was designed to do." Killian turned to look at her. "It made us dream our deepest desires, Killian. US, not just you. I wanted that life too." She continued with tears in her eyes.

"I want you, and a life together. I want those children. I want my happy ending and it is you, Killian. I love you and that wasn't part of the curse, it was what the curse finally showed me."

Killian looked at her with wide eyes full of tears. "Gods, Swan. You have no idea how long I've wished for that." He leaned down to claim her lips in a passionate kiss.

They broke apart, gasping for air, and Emma rested her forehead on his. "They might have been part of a curse, but that doesn't mean they can't be real someday." Emma said eyes shining. "We're going to beat these evil bitches and have our happily ever after."

"As you wish." Killian replied, smiling down at her.

Epilogue

Exactly one year after defeating Rumpelstiltskin and the Queens of Darkness, the Charming family, Regina, and Robin gathered at the hospital. They sat around the waiting room anxiously. Down the hall, Emma laid panting on a hospital bed as Killian brushed damp hair off her face.

"Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Jones" a nurse said as she turned around. "You have a beautiful baby girl."

"Aye, that she is," Killian said carefully taking the pink bundle from the nurse and turning to Emma.

"Hello Melanie," Emma said beaming down at her tiny daughter. "It's about time we saw you again."

Killian placed a kiss on Emma's brow and smiled down at his wife and daughter. "You are so beautiful, Little One, and so very real." Killian looked into Emma's eyes, "Thank you, my Love, for making my dreams come true."

"Our dreams." Emma insisted and turned her lips up to meet a gentle kiss from her True Love.
