Hey, so the fight continues and the tension stays until someone has enough. Have fun finding who :)

Chapter 4

Over the next two days, it turned out every couple in Story Brooke, which had one magical partner, adopted Emma's and Killian's dispute of the matter of taking away the powers of their babies.

Emma had gotten a long and angry explanation from Ruby how horrible it had been for her about finding out she was a wolf when she was grown up.

Killian had gotten a lecture about children not understanding their strengths and hurting themselves by Granny.

The only couple not affected by this fight seemed to be Archie and Zelena.

"As long as we show children they are loved just the way they are and learn the way magic works and how it should be used, there is really no danger at all.", Archie assured Emma, when she met him on her way home.

Emma had enough. For the last three days, it seemed to her everyone in this town tried to lecture her about how to treat her daughter. And the only person who should discuss this matter with her just didn't talk to her.

"Leave me alone, Archie! Maybe you do mean well, but you and Zelena don't even have kids yet. You are together for a little over a year. So I don't take parenting advice from you and I don't take relationship advice from you! Good day!", she snapped at him. She stormed into the house, leaving Archie behind speechless and surprised over Emma's emotional outburst.

She waited a moment in front of the apartment, trying not to cry. The last days really had been hard. Killian only spoke with her what was necessary and didn't seem to want her to be alone with their daughter for too long. There hadn't been one kind word.

No "love", no "Swan", not even "lass". He always just said "Emma".

And he had barely looked at her. But he had never looked her in the eyes. Not that he had looked at him, that often. It just hurt too much.

Last night he had come to the bedroom at night. She had thought he would come back to bed, but he had just said: "Emma, Dawn his hungry, but she doesn't want the bottle. Could you please feed her?"

She had feed her daughter, not being able to stop crying while she had.

Only later in bed she had realized that he had heard her over the baby monitor. But he had not come to her. He had just let her cry. So she had cried herself to sleep, just like the nights before.

She was really tired as she didn't have a good night's sleep since what seemed like forever.

Emma sighed deeply, preparing herself for the coldness of the man she loved with all her heart, and brushed away her tears.

In the living room, Killian was folding freshly washed cloths. He looked up when she came in. For a moment she swore she could have seen a spark of love in his eyes, but he looked back down to the cloths, so she just threw that thought away.

"There is a plate with food in the kitchen. Henry had not eaten much for lunch so we ate early. I hope you don't mind.", he said.

"Not hungry.", she simply replied.

Killian looked as if he wanted to lecture her about eating properly, but he just sighed and said: "If you say so. It is on the counter. I will put it in the fridge and you can eat it later, when you get hungry."

Before she could return anything, he had already gotten up and was on his way to the kitchen.

She quickly put on a smile and went to greet a children.

"Hey kid, what have you done today?", she asked as she sat down next to her daughter, who smiled as bright as the sun when she saw her.

Henry got up to get something. Before Emma could ask what he was doing he was already back on the carpet and sat across from Dawn.

"School was okay. But the best thing is, we have been working on a new trick. Come on, little one, let's show mommy."

He pulled out a wand of a little blue bear shaped bottle and blew in it. Bubbles came out of the wand. Dawn laughed and sang, and more little bubbles appeared out of thin air, flying along the other bubbles. After repeating this for some times and the last bubbles had burst, Henry put the wand back into the bottle.

Emma looked at her daughter in awe. The little girl was still laughing. "You really liked that, didn't you, baby girl?"

When she looked around, she saw Killian watching them with a blank expression.

"Did you see that?", Emma asked him, a bit confident.

"It's time for her dinner.", he just stated and picked Dawn up.

Emma just pinched her eyes together, not wanting to cry in front of them.

"Alright, enough!", Henry shouted. "You two need to stop this and talk to each other. The silence treatment is not going to solve anything. You are both too stubborn for that." He looked at both of them, who didn't dare to look to one another.

"Don't you realize that Dawn has this special magic because of you guys? Light magic is created by love. She gets her magic from the strength of your true love! You are soulmates. I have the heart of the truest believer, because you loved my dad Neal, mom. But my magic is not nearly as strong as hers. Because you two belong together. And I'm not letting you ruin it over a stupid fight! So, I will feed my sister now and you will talk this out! And you will sleep in the same bed together! Because both of you haven't really slept in the last days.", Henry ordered stern before taking his sister from Killian.

He left them both stunned.

What can I, I just love Henry being the voice of reason. Next chapter will be the last one and the two will finally confess their fears to each other.

And maybe there will be more childish magic ;)

Let me know what you thought about this chapter.
