Previously
In Rumplestiltskin's old jail cell. Where everyone was being held.
"Oh. You can take my hook but there is no way you are getting this jacket! This is all I have left of my wife."
The shout was sounded around all the halls. The loudest in the jail cell where everyone from Storybroke was being held.
Everybody looked up shocked. Finally someone spoke up. It was Neal.
"That sounded like Hook. And if it was, when the hell did he get married?" Neal said surprised.
There was mummers of agreement from everyone. Whether which question who knows.
The next thing they knew, the cell door was being opened and a man clutching something red was thrown in.
Chapter 1
Rumplestiltskin's jail cell
The man laid there for a moment before he began to get up. But had trouble because the flying monkeys had taken his hook-leaving him with a stump hidden by his jacket-and that he was clutching what looked like a red jacket tightly to his chest.
Snow and Red rushed to help him up. When they got him up he did not look up but continued to clutch the jacket close to his heart and look down with tears running down his face. Snow recognizing him and realizing that he must be going through so much pain after being separated from his true love, her daughter Emma, hugged him tightly.
Everyone realizing that it was Hook felt their hearts go out to him. All the women-even The Evil Queen Regina-went to hug him with Snow. David otherwise known as Prince Charming and most of the other guys went over and patted his back. All except Neal AKA Bealfire. He didn't like the pirate before it was known that he was Emma's true love and now he certainly didn't like Hook now. The man had stolen his mother and then the women he loved. He was positive that in the year he had been with them he had also stolen his place in his son heart. That Pirate had stolen everything that mattered to him.
Back in New York With Emma and Henry
After about two hours crying into the pillow and hugging each other tightly. Emma and Henry got up and went into the kitchen to get some hot chocolate with cinnamon. They thought it might help calm their emotions. It was something they loved - they had both gotten it from Snow. They sat on the couch and tried to keep their tears at bay. Then something that Killian had written on the note clicked in her mind. The gift.
"Henry? In Killian's note he mentioned something about a gift for you. What was it?" Emma asked her voice thick with tears. Henry's eyes widened and then the tears began to spill out. He held out a finger, signaling that he would be back in a moment. He ran into his room and then he came out holding something that she could not see properly. When he sat down she saw black leather. That was when it clicked. Killian had left his black, leather, pirate coat for Henry. He knew how mush Henry had liked his coat and must have thought that it would be a good gift. It made her heart swell with love for her husband and her eyes fill with more tears (if that was possible).
She hugged her son tightly and put her hand in the jacket. 'I will see you again, Killian' she vowed to herself.
Back in Rumplestiltskin's jail
After the hugging fest had finished Snow and David each held on to Killian and lead him over to one of the rock stoop that was in the jail cell. Snow put her arm around his shoulders and just held him. Like any mother would. And to tell the truth Killian thought that having Emma's family with him was the next best thing he could get if he couldn't get her.
After 5 minutes of just being held Killian began to stop crying and took a few deep breaths. He knew these people were very inquisitive and knew that they would have a lot of questions. He looked up, his eyes stopping on each and every one person in that room. He took another deep breath.
"OK. I know that you all have questions. You are all very inquisitive. Just lik-"he cut off, not wanting to say his wife and step-son's names.
Everyone gave a little chuckle. Snow started the questioning.
"We heard you say something when the monkeys were dragging you down here. You said wife. Did you and Emma get married?" she asked, her voiced pained. She had already missed the first 28 years of her daughter's life and she hopped that she didn't miss her only daughter's wedding.
"Yeah. Yeah we did about a month after the curse hit and took you all back here. We knew that I wouldn't be able to stay there long. We wanted to do everything we could fit into the time we had. We didn't want a moment wasted. We were both sorry that none of you were there. But it wasn't anything fancy. Hell it was in the court-house and the only person there besides the priest and an old lady from the building (acting as the witness) was Henry." Killian said his voice sick with sorrow at knowing that he may not see his family for many years if ever. He clutched the jacket tightly.
Neal felt his heart clutch. Now he know that he truly had lost everything to the Pirate. His son had most likely called the Pirate dad too. He'd lost everything. All to a pirate with one hand.
"How's Henry? Is he ok?" Regina asked her voice laced with hurt, love, and concern for her adopted son.
Henry's fine. Better then fine. He misses you all and told me to send his love over. He was a very energetic boy and he loved being able to go all over New York City. That's where we decided to live after you all disappeared. That place is a very nice city. And I will tell you getting used to that lands customs was very hard and confusing. But luckily I had Emma and Henry to help me and they were very patient." He felt his heart swell with love and sorrow as he talked about his family.
The rest of the day in the cell was spent with everyone asking about what had happened when he was in New York City. And in reverse Killian asked about what had happened since they had been here. He learned that the green lady was The Wicked Witch of the West from a land called Oz. He had a chuckle when he heard that because that was one of classic movies that Henry and Emma had made him watch.
Back in New York with Emma and Henry two weeks later
Emma had been sick for 3 days and couldn't figure it out. Henry had been great at taking care of his sick mother. He had been getting her soup and making sure she took her medicine. He had been the perfect little nurse.
The next day she say the calendar and it clicked she was late. When Henry was at school she got up out of bed and went to the drug store on the corner. 20 minutes later she had her answer. She was pregnant.
She had a baby growing inside her for the second time. She was going to be a mother to a little baby and there was no chance she was giving this child up. This child was going to end up growing up without a father. She knew that Killian wouldn't want her to bring this child to the Enchanted Forest before they had the chance to grow up in this land without magic. He had said that in his note about Henry and he knew that if he knew about this child that it would apply to them as well.
She knew that she wouldn't see her husband for at least 16 years. She wasn't going to drag her child to the Enchanted Forest when they were young. She had been there when she was 29 and she still had nightmares. It scared her.
She had no idea about what was going on in the forest but she hoped that they could take care of it while she took care of her children. It broke her heart but she had to do it. It was for the well-being of her children.
She hoped her family knew how hard it
was to leave them there to their own defenses but she couldn't drag her children in to a world where she had no idea about what was going on. She had no idea what evil they were facing now. It hurt her having to do this but it was the best thing that she could do. She just hoped they would understand.
A.N. Sorry if you don't like how I portrayed Neal/Bealfire but I just really don't like him. Never have and probably never will. I totally ship Captain Swan. Please review the ones I have gotten so far made me very happy. I should have another chapter up tomorrow.
