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.
Chapter 2
16 years later. The Enchanted Forest. The Castle Dungeon.
The now 29-year-old man walked silently in the maze that was once his grandparents' castle dungeon. He kept his hood low over face careful in case there was any flying monkeys about. 'Flying monkeys' he scoffed in his head. He had grown up watching the fairy tales of the Wicked Witch of the West from Oz and her little flying monkeys. Even if his life consisted of fairy tales-his family members where the fairy tales themselves. But to see it actually true and have them be keeping his family locked up. It would be insane to any normal person. But to him it was reality.
He walked quickly hoping to hurry up and get his family out before his mother began to realize that he wasn't there. He knew that his little brother, Liam, couldn't possibly come up with a good excuse. He was suddenly glad that he hadn't brought Liam along. His brother was to small -even at 15-and he didn't want him to face the danger that he was putting himself into by trying to break them out. He was always very protective of his little brother. That might be because Liam didn't have his father and he stepped in just a tad. He felt bad for taking Killian's place but every boy needs a father. He knew that, he didn't have one until he was 11. And then he lost him soon after that.
By then he had reached the hall that held his grandfather's cell. The place where everybody from Storybrooke was being held. His mother had spies in the castle everywhere. But she still decided it wasn't safe to get them. He thought better.
He kept his hood low. He wanted to surprise them but he knew that he was going to have to get at least one of their trusts. He knew that Killian would be the best. He could see them know. But they hadn't noticed him yet. He could see all of their weapons-including his stepfather's hook and his grandfather's sword. He went to grab the hook of the wall. He was going to use the hook to unlock the gate. There was a special part in it that could unlock any lock. His stepfather had taught him one day when he was still with them and his mother was at work. It was a special skill known to few.
Unfortunately when he was grabbing the hook, he bumped it into another thing. It making a loud clang, gathering the attention of everyone in the cell.
"Hey! What are you doing with my hook?" Killian said loudly. There was mummers of agreement from all but one. His father, but he didn't let that bother him now. He had a mission to complete.
"Be quite! If you want to get out of here you are going to be silent." The man said fiercely. They all shut up quickly. Wanting to get out of here. He couldn't blame them most of them had been stuck in here for 17 years. He grabbed the hook and pressed the hidden notch to bring out the lock pickers. As he did this he heard Killian gasp surprised. He remembered Killian tell him that he was the first person he showed how to do this and knew that Killian would make the connection soon.
After he picked the lock he said to them. "Be quiet and grab your weapons quickly. I expect to hear not one word said. I will answer your questions once we are farther from here. OK? Nod!" They nodded quickly. They all went to grab their stuff except Killian who was clutching what looked like his mother's old red leather coat that they had assumed Killian took when we couldn't find it. Killian walked right up to him and looked him the eye. He knew. The man smiled and quietly said "Later". The man handed him his hook.
"Now. Follow me. Quietly." The man said.
One Hour Later. Half way to the Beanstalk.
"OK. It has been an hour and we are far from the castle. Tell us what the hell is going on." Neal asked aggressively. "You knew something about the pirate's hook and that makes me less inclined to trust you."
The man shook his head sadly. "I do not have time to explain everything to you all right now. Nut Hook trusts me and if you trust him you can trust me. Isn't that right Hook? And if you don't trust Hook," he looked at Neal, "trust one of the people trusting him."
"Oh hell yeah. I trust you." Killian said loudly. "That trick with my hook I taught to few people. And I know exactly who you are." This time he was smiling largely.
"OK. Now let's hurry up. My mother doesn't know I came to get you and I don't think my 15 year-old little brother can keep up the cover I started. She is going to be beyond pissed." The man said. He laughed when he saw Killian's eyes widen and his mouth drop opens when he said little brother.
"Let's go." He said with a chuckle in his voice.
One Hour Later. Bottom of the Beanstalk.
"This is the same beanstalk from the time I came here with Emma." Snow said, her voice filled with longing for her daughter. Little did she know her daughter was closer than she thought.
"Aye. It is. This is the place where we got the compass." Killian said, his voice filled with remembrance.
"Yes. This is where my mother decided to set up camp. We knew that it would be a good place and that not many people would think to check an empty Beanstalk. I hope you guys are up for a climb." The man said as he began to climb the stalk.
Everyone began to follow except Neal. The man saw this and jumped down. Still keeping his hood low. "If you don't want to come with us up the stalk then you better be ready to go back in that cell until the witch is defeated because I defied my mother's orders to come and get you and I won't do that again. So start climbing!" the man said to Neal harshly. The next thing the man knew Neal was climbing the stalk.
He looked around and saw no others left there. He began to climb after all of the others.
45 Minutes Later
As everyone reached the top they climbed in the door and looked at the ginormous giant world. Everyone from Storybrooke looked at the castle in awe-except Killian, who had been here before. The next thing they knew the door was opened and a women and a teenager came out. When they saw the man they rushed to him and gave him a hug each.
"You are so lucky I kept your mother in a meeting while you were gone. And then when she was out, you're brother sad that you were sick and didn't want anyone to bother you." The woman said in a rush. Snow realized that it was Aurora.
"Aurora?" Snow asked hesitantly.
The woman looked up and gasped when she recognized some of the people there.
"Snow!" she said as she rushed to hug her. "Oh. We have missed having you here." Then she turned to the man. "This is what you went to do! You broke them out of the jail. How?! Not even your mother could figure it out. My lord. You are truly one amazing boy."
The whole time that Aurora was talking to the man, the teenager was hugging the man and staring at Killian.
"People this is my little brother Liam David. And of course you know Aurora." The man said as he hugged Liam back. No one but Liam, Aurora, and the man saw it but Killian smiled widely at the introduction of Liam.
"We still don't know who you are! So, who are you?" Neal asked harshly.
Aurora gasped and looked at the man. "You did not tell them who you are. How on earth did you get them to trust you?" Aurora asked with Liam nodding along.
The man smiled. "No. I didn't. But Killian knew who I was. I did the hook tick that he showed me all those years ago. He taught it to only me, so when he saw me do it he figured it out." The man started to laugh. "Then if the trusted him they had to trust me. Well they didn't really have a choice unless the wanted to stay in that cell. You know the cell that my mother's parents put by dad's father." By the end of this sentence he was nearly rolling on the floor from laughing so hard.
Then Snow and Charming made the connection. They both gasped and ran to give the man a hug. He stopped laughing and gave a small simile before rushing to give his grandparents a tight hug. The next person to hug the man was Killian.
"I got to say, I missed you kid." Killian said using his wife's nickname for the boy.
"I'm sure you did, Killian. We do have some sword lessons to finish though." The man said chuckling. Killian smiled and nodded his head.
"Yeah Hi? We are still confused on who the hell you are." Neal asked scathingly.
Right. First Killian meet Liam David. My little brother he is 15." The man smiled as Liam and Killian went off to talk about 5 feet away. "Anyway my name is….." he was cut off.
"HENRY DANIAL MILLS SWAN!" The shout rebounded across all the halls.
Aurora, Liam, his grandparents, and Killian all let out a laugh as the saw Henry shrink down and then try to hide himself behind his grandfather.
Everyone who had not connected it all looked shocked and stared at Henry. But he wasn't looking at them he was staring at the woman with blonde hair that had come storming out of large building.
Cliffy! HAHA! I will see you all tomorrow. But I do have a question for you. My best friend and I were arguing. We have almost nothing in common and she thinks that gaming is better than Fanfiction. I would like to know your opinions. No hate will be given but I would like your opinions to rub it in her face. Anyway please review! And thanks to reviews I have gotten so far. I have 5.
