So, this picks up exactly where the last chapter ended. I hope you like it. It's a bit sad at the end (i think), there will be crying. And Killian and Emma might not be the only one's to fight over this matter.

Oh, and Tom is the baby son of Regina and Robin. He's one and a half months younger than Dawn.

Chapter 2

Later the doorbell rang again. After calling Emma and Killian, Snow had also called Regina. When Regina and Robin entered, they instantly got the bad vibes in the room.

"What is the matter? You said there was an emergency, so let's get right to it. I have other things to do, too.", Regina started, annoyed by the call. It was usually nothing and she knew Snow was always a bit overanxious, but wouldn't leave her alone before she had from Regina what she wanted. So giving her that was the fastest way to have her peace.

Robin went to greet their son, who was still busy trying to sooth his little sister. But with all the bad vibes in the room, Dawn just felt uncomfortable and wouldn't stop fussing. And her brother just felt as uncomfortable as she did.

"Well,", David started, as no one else seemed to attempt explaining, "we just found out Dawn has magic. And we hoped you had some advice as you grew up with magic."

Regina eyed her goddaughter in surprise and walked over to her. "Wow, she is just seven months old and already showing magic. This is quite unusual. I was about eight or nine when my parents first learned I had magic. But I hated magic at that time and didn't let it come out until I was 16 and Rumple taught me."

Killian visibly tensed up as Regina went to pick up his daughter, but Henry gave him an encouraging look as he handed his sister over to her. So Killian got a bit more relaxed. Right now, he didn't know who he could trust around his daughter, but he didn't have the slightest doubt about Henry. And he wouldn't let Regina hold Dawn unless he trusted her to not take Dawn's magic away.

"Well, well, sweet girl, why don't you show your auntie Regina what you can do?", Regina whispered to the little girl, not paying attention to anyone around.

She went to the couch to get Dawn's stuffed seal and held it in front of Dawn, near enough for her to see it but far enough so she couldn't get it with her hands.

After a few attempts to reach the toy with her hands, the little girl made it appear in her hands with a cloud of white smoke.

"See, this is not good.", Snow interrupted. "She shouldn't be able to do it. She's too small to handle something like that." Snow's arm was wrapped around her daughter, who was sitting on the couch, her concerned and terrified look never leaving her little daughter.

"Regina, please, you need to do something. You have to take away her power.", Emma begged her, desperation and tears shining in her eyes.

Killian's and Henry's protest was loud, but stopped by Robin's interference. "Don't you think this is a bit drastic?"

Regina looked proudly at her husband for being so understanding.

Then he continued: "Maybe Dawn's powers can just be blocked. You know, for a few years until she is old enough to understand them and is able to learn them."

Snow and Emma nodded, happy about Robin's suggestion, seeing it as a good compromise.

Regina just eyed her husband in disbelieve. "Why should they do that? Magic is not bad. And the worst thing you can do to the girl is suggesting her magic is something to be held back. Something to be ashamed of."

Now Robin looked at his wife, not getting her words. "But magic can be dangerous."

"Only if you don't know how to use it. And she will learn that. Her powers are still growing, anyway. I doubt she would be powerful enough to do something bad.", Regina retorted.

"Well, but we don't know that. So it is the safest way. I can understand that Emma wants to do that. She doesn't just have Dawn to think about, but also Henry and his safety.", Robin replied, getting upset.

"So you say, if Tom will show to have powers, you want to take them away from him?"

"No, just block them out for some time."

"That is just as bad! And blocking out magic for years and weaken the powers or even break them entirely. Who could do that to a child?"

"Well, we are not talking about Tom now!"

Henry sighed, feeling miserable. Both his pairs of parents fighting, screaming at each other, just because his sister would rather be with him than with their grandmother. He should have just taken his sister with him to Regina's and there would have been peace. It would have come out eventually, but maybe not with him and his sister Dawn around. At least his baby brother Tom wasn't around to her it.

As her godmother was shouting with her husband, Dawn started crying again, silencing the adults once more.

Regina shook her head and went to give Dawn to Killian.

"I will see what can be done for the protection of Dawn. And I'll talk to my sister. I think she showed her magic right from the day she was born. Maybe she has some ideas."

Killian took his daughter in his arms and exchanged a look with Regina. Gratefulness was written all over his face.

"Thank you, Regina.", Emma said in a weak voice. Regina just gave her a look, then went to the door and retoured coldly. "I'm not doing it for you, Miss Swan."

An awkward silence laid between Killian and Emma for the rest of the day.

Henry had insisted on coming home with them, though it was his day with Regina. Regina had had no objection to his plan, as she thought it would be good of him to support Killian at home. She was busy being in her vault with her sister, working on some solutions, anyway.

When it was time for Dawn to sleep, Emma picked her up to carry her to her room.

"I'll feed her and lay her sleeping, so say good night.", Emma said.

Henry kissed his sisters cheek and winked at her, making her giggle.

Killian watched his wife and just said: "Shouldn't I do that? Aren't you afraid she will blow up the nursery?" Emma looked at her husband in shock. This was not his light teasing tone.

"You know she still gets breastfed in the evening. So unless your enormous ego can grow you breast, I'll feed her and bring her to bed.", she hissed before storming of.

"Was that necessary, dad? We'll never convince her to let Dawn keep her magic if you snap at her like this.", Henry reproved him.

Killian didn't even look slightly guilty. "How can she think her own daughter is dangerous? She hated her own mother for doing that. So how can she…" He just shook his head to calm himself.

"I'm afraid your mother is beyond reasoning. We just have to wait and see what Regina comes up with. That's our only chance."

Later that evening, Emma had just settled in bed, when Killian entered the bedroom.

He went straight to the closet to change into his pajamas.

Emma set down the books she was reading and turned to her husband.

"Killian, can we please talk about this? I don't want to fight with you.", she begged. She was really desperate. Just a few hours ago they had laid her, making love and now they were not talking to each other. No hugs. No kisses. No nicknames. No love-filled glances. No affection at all.

Just now she realized she needed his love like breathing.

He supported his weight with his hand and hook on the mattress and looked her deep in the eyes. "Have you changed your opinion, Emma?", he asked with a serious voice. She just shook her head. "Then I have nothing to say to you."

And to her shock, he took his pillow and his blanket and left the room, without saying another word. Emma was still looking to the door in horror as the door opened again and Killian came back. Relief washed over her. But he just reached for the nightstand, taking the baby phone. "You tucked her in, I will get up, if she wakes.", he explained in a distant tone.

Emma reached out to hold him back. "Killian, please!", she begged desperately, her voice trembling from the tears filling her eyes. He just freed himself from her grip. "No, Emma.", he said without looking at her.

As soon as the door closed again, Emma began to cry.

Killian held his hook against the door as he heard the woman he loved cry on the other side of the door. He wanted to be with her. Wanted to comfort her. Kiss away her tears. It was so hard to be away from her. This was the first night they would not sleep in the same bed, since she had been back from the hospital after giving birth to Dawn.

But no matter how much he loved his wife, he had to fight for his daughter. She was precious and her magic was a gift. And if he went in there to Emma, maybe she would be able to talk him into blocking their daughter's powers. That, he couldn't do.

Let me know what you think about it. Next chapter will not be much happier, but we'll get there.

Next chapter should be up tommorrow, my account just didn't work the last days :(
