Thank you for reading, this chapter is a continuation of the last, sorta. This one is shorter than my other chapters because there is a certain idea I want to write but can't yet for reasons I will not say because of you know, SPOILERS. I don't want to give anything away! I wanna thank my friend again for letting me put her into the story. Thank you Mysteryfan1997 for your support. Thank you for reading and enjoy.

I can smell my dad cooking dinner downstairs. He's never been too good at cooking but tonight he has to make it perfect. Sadie and her parents were gonna be here in about an hour. I decided to start getting ready about half an hour ago but I can't decide what to wear, a white floral dress or a peach dress. I finally decided to go with the peach dress. I pull the dress over my head. I do my makeup and that's when dad makes himself known.

"You ready love?"

"I think."

"Good."

Dad smiles.

"Have I told you you look just like her before?"

"Yeah." I set my phone down on the vanity, and walked past dad out of the room.

He followed close behind me. and right as I stepped off the stairs there was a knock at the door.

Sadie's here!

I open the door and see Sadie standing there. Her hair was tied up into a bun. She was wearing a pair of jeans a white striped shirt and a cardigan.

"You look amazing!" I exclaim!

"Thank you, you look amazing too."

I welcome them inside and we sit down in the living room. We chat for a little bit before Dad calls us to dinner. We all sit down at the table, and my dad brings out the spaghetti. He sets it on the table and then sits down.

"Killian, this looks amazing! I didn't know you could cook." Ariel exclaims.

He chuckles. "Spaghetti is the one thing I can make."

We all laugh and it takes a minute to settle down. We served ourselves, and before long we got back into conversation. Dad starts telling Eric and Ariel about what's been happening around Storybrooke. That's when I remember something I had to tell dad.

"Dad, before I forget again, Alice texted me, she needs me to babysit for Hunter and Carli next Saturday."

"Good to know."

"You babysit?" Eric asks.

"Not often and normally only for a few people" I reply.

"We could use a babysitter every once in a while." Ariel mentions

"You have another child?" Dad says, sounding surprised.

"Yes, we didn't bring her because we didn't want her making a mess."

"If you ever need a babysitter I'd be happy to do it." I smile.

"We might ask later if you're not busy."

Our conversation shifts to my future aspirations and how I want to get a job with a higher salary as soon as I can. Sadie and I talk about Gideon starting college soon, and how I want to go with him.

"Will you be able to keep up with him?" Sadie asks.

"We've decided not to worry about it right at this moment. We're going to see how well he's doing in school before we decide what to do."

"Love, come help me get dessert please." Dad says after a few moments.

Dad and I stand up and go grab the desert. Brownies I made and some vanilla ice cream.

"Grab the rum please."

I grab a few bottles of rum, and a two bottles of lemonade I picked up for me and Sadie. I walked back into the dining room where they were waiting. Dad, using his hook, pops open the bottles of rum and hands them to Ariel and Eric. I hand the bottle of lemonade to Sadie. Once dad pops his own bottle open, he stands.

"I'd like to make a toast to Hope, and Sadie. If they wouldn't have met last night, this wouldn't be happening. I'm so grateful for my daughter. She's the one thing keeping me sober after Emma's death. Eric? Ariel? Would you like to say anything?"

"Sadie, we're so grateful for your help with Stella. We love you so much, and so because of your help we've decided to finally give you your bracelet that lets you transform into a mermaid, and travel all the realms." Ariel toasts.

"To Hope and Sadie!" We all cheer! We clink our bottles, and drink. A perfect end to a perfect night. We drink our drinks and eat dessert til we're sick.

"Well, I think it's time to go home. Thank you Killian for that lovely dinner." Eric says.

"Aye, of course."

I walk Sadie to the door. We hug and she leaves with her parents. I head upstairs, change into some sweats, put on my mom's necklace and sit on my phone. About 10 minutes later, I hear a knock on my door.

"Love, Kyrons here."

Dad leaves my view and Kyron walks in.

"Hey! How are you?"

"Good. How about you?"

"I'm doing great. What's the occasion?"

"No reason. Just wanted to hang out."

I can tell he's lying. I just don't understand.

"Kyron, what's going on? You're acting weird."

"I said it's nothing."

He turns his attention somewhere else.

"Kyron." I whisper.

He turns and his lips meet mine. At first it shocked me but after a moment I accepted it. Our kiss lasted at most one minute, but it felt like eternity. I broke the kiss and just stared at him. His deep green eyes shimmered. I guess my expression had changed from worried to shocked because he looked away again.

"I'm sorry." Kyron muttered. "I've been trying to work up the courage to do that for ages."

Heat rises to my face, and I can feel it redden. Kyron notices and wraps his arm around me. I lay my head on his shoulder and just sit there. A few minutes passed and we still hadn't moved. I was still contemplating what just happened when Kyron removed his arm.

"I did this out of order." He laughs the tiniest bit. "Would you like to go out with me this Saturday?"

"Of course I would."

We shared one more kiss and it seemed longer than the last. He broke the kiss this time, and it all seemed like a dream. He took my hand and squeezed it gently. He stood and left my room.

I fell backwards onto my bed and stared at the ceiling. I gripped onto my mom's necklace not knowing how my dad would react. I knew it wouldn't be good because I had no idea if Kyron had asked Dad about the date. I pick up my phone and dial Sadie. She picks up almost immediately.

"Hey, Hope. What's up? Did we leave anything?"

"No not at all, you remember how I told you about Kyron?"

"Yeah. What happened?"

"He kissed me, and then asked me on a date."

She screamed so loud I had to pull the phone away from my ear.

"Hope you know what this means? You have a boyfriend!"

"No, that's not what it means."

"Yes! It does! He kissed you, and then asked you out! If anything I'd think that's him asking you to be his girlfriend."

"Look I don't know if my dad knows or not so please don't mention it to him, and if he asks, you, Kyron and I are going."

"Got it."

"Thanks."

"Of course. I'd do anything to help you."

I hang up the phone and smile. I couldn't wait for Saturday. All that's left to do is to not let my dad know.
