The Hand Cuff

Ever since their date, Emma found Killian staying at her apartment more and more and didn't mind at all. Henry even loved having the Pirate around. Emma and Killian stayed up late and talked about everything, he even opened up more about Milah and Emma opened up about Neal and Graham. Things with Killian were just so simple and easy she loved it.

It had been a week since Emma had gotten the Sword and she hadn't received anything. She figured the secret sender had given up when the town heard about her and Killian being together. She had finally started wearing the charm bracelet with the charms on it, hoping the more she wore the meaning of the charms would come to her.

Killian found Emma standing in the kitchen, looking at her wrist again. It was something he found her doing often and he loved it. He made his way towards her and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her back to him holding her close. Emma couldn't help the smile that came on to her face as she rested back against him.

"I thought you were sleeping still." Emma said as she looked over her shoulder looking to Killian. Killian stole a kiss shrugging.

"I woke alone princess. A pirate hates to wake alone." He teased, kissing her again. Emma couldn't help but laugh against his lips, a smile on her face.

"You were sound asleep. I doubt you would have woken up if Henry was to jump on the bed." Emma told him as she turned in his arms, her hands moving to his chest as she looked up at him.

If you would have told her when she made the wish on her birthday almost two years ago, that she would be a princess, in love with a pirate and the proof of true love, she would have laughed in your face. But it was all true and she knew it. She kissed him again smiling.

"Whose bed am I jumping on?" Henry asked as he came in to the kitchen and sat at the counter smiling. He didn't like seeing his mom and Killian kiss. But at the same time, he loved seeing his mom happy and Killian smiling.

"No ones. Don't even think about it." Emma said as she turned to look at her son, smiling. Henry laughed shaking his head before standing up grabbing his bag.

"Can we go get breakfast now? I'm starving." Henry said laughing as he looked to them. Emma nodded and moved to grab her jacket, glad she had showered and dressed earlier.

"Give me a moment. A half dressed Pirate wouldn't be a good idea." Killian said giving them a smile before he headed up to the bedroom and dressed in jeans and a blue shirt before he came back down stairs sitting to put his shoes on, as Emma pulled her boots on.

Once they all had their jackets on, they were out the door and down towards the diner. Henry and Killian talked about teaching Henry to sail as they walked, Emma walking behind them smiling. How had she gotten so lucky to have a man like Killian? As they got to the diner, He opened the door for them and Henry led them to a table in back, her parents already there waiting on them.

"Morning you two." Emma said smiling as she kissed their cheeks before she sat down across from them, Killian Sliding in beside her. Henry took the head of the table spot. Ruby came by and took their order, though by now she knew it by heart.

Snow and Emma chatted about doing a picnic this weekend, something to get the family out together and have fun. Henry piped in that he wanted to Invite Regina as well as Gold, saying they were family too and they should be able to join. While Killian may have given all his revenge up, he wasn't too excited to have Gold near his family. But Snow and Emma agreed, knowing it would make Henry happy. Emma's hand found Killian's and gave it a small squeeze hoping he would relax; and Killian did, her touch always worked. . She knew how he felt towards gold but she was proud of him for putting up with him for Henry.

They ate their food and talked different things over before Ruby came over and gave them a smile.

"Emma, this was left for you last night. I wanted to make sure you got it before you left for work.' Ruby said handing her the small box before she turned and left. Like the others it was Black with the red Ribbon tied around it, the same as all the other ones.

"Oh Emma that reminds me. The charm we had gotten you came in this morning." Charming said smiling as Snow pulled out the small black box and set it on the table. Emma set down the box Ruby had given her and picked up the one from her parents smiling as she opened it. It was a small crown, with her Birth stone in the middle. She loved the other charms but this one came from her parents. It meant a little more to her. She stood up and hugged her mom and dad thanking them.

Killian and Henry smiled, knowing that all the charms they had given her were not as great as the one from her parents. Emma had help from her dad as he put the charm on for her and kissed her forehead softly, before they headed out of the diner, Emma making sure to grab the other charm. Killian and Henry walked to the bus and Emma and Charming headed towards the station, Snow hanging back to watch her family.

Ruby came out and joined them smiling as she did so.

"You think she knows its Killian yet?" Ruby asked snow grinning. They had done their best to Help Killian and were pretty shocked Emma hadn't guessed it was him yet.

"Nope. The charms all point to him. But she either isn't paying that much attention to them. Or she too wrapped up in being in love with him she doesn't notice." Snow said with a laugh as she looked to her friend. Ruby looked to snow smiling.

"Has she told him she loves him yet?" Ruby asked smiling. Snow shook her head crossing her arms over her chest.

"Nope. But she will soon. I know it." Snow said before she waved to Ruby and walked away smiling. She hoped Emma would come around and see that Killian was in love with her, as she was with him.

Emma and Charming spent the slow day working on paper work they were behind on, and talking. They hadn't had the chance to get to know each other better but now they were. He asked all about the years they had missed and Emma asked about the Enchanted Forrest. They found the conversation easy and fun, both having not laughed like that in the longest time.

Charming told her he was going to do a coffee run and he would be back soon, promising her a hot chocolate as well. Emma waved him off smiling as she finally had some time to look at the other charm she was given. She set the small box on the desk and stared at it for a moment, wondering what it would be this time around. Giving up on guessing, she opened the box smiling when she saw the hand cuff charm. For some reason, her mind flashed back to when she chained Killian up twice, a brief wonder if he would let her do that again caused her to smirk.

She put the hand cuff charm away when she heard the door.

"That was quick dad." She said smirking as she picked up some files setting them down on the fire cabinet before she started putting them away. Her blonde hair that had been pulled up, was starting to fall in her face causing her to stop and pull it up again, stopping completely when she noticed it wasn't her dad that had walked in.

"What…What are you doing here? I thought you left town?" She asked stumbling over her words. Gold stepped out of the shadows looking to her.

"I came to talk Dearie, Nothing more. We had left. But Belle missed it here. And I had to admit I did as well. So we moved back. Just me and Belle" He said as he moved to the chair in front of her desk sitting down. Emma knew her dad would be back soon so it something happened, he would be there. But for now she moved to her chair and sat down.

"Alright. What would you like to talk about?" She asked him crossing her arms over her chest to keep from reaching for her gun so quickly. While Neverland brought her and Killian, as well as her and her family closer, it caused her to see a side of Gold she didn't want to remember. Emma still had night mares about the ogres and Gold leaving her there. Thank god for Killian being quick.

"I came to apologize. I made a mistake while we were in the forest and I shouldn't have left you. I also shouldn't have threatened you either." He said as he looked to her. "When we got back, I talked to Belle and she made me realize the mistakes I had made. You are family and I should have seen that. I want to be in my grandson's life, But I know to do so I need to make things right with you." Gold said as he watched Emma. Emma refused to take her eyes off him. For one she wanted to protect her life and for another, she wanted to see if he was lying.

It shocked her to see he wasn't lying to her. But that wasn't going to stop her from asking questions.

"Why didn't you go to Regina then? She is Henrys mom by law." Emma said, though she knew it wasn't true. Regina and Emma had sat down and worked things out with each other. They agreed Henry would return to Emma, Regina would sign her rights over to Emma. But she wanted to be a part of Henrys life. Emma agreed to still have Regina in his life; she couldn't take that from either of them. Since then the Charming's viewed Regina as part of the family, even if it was still kind of weird.

"You already know the answer to that, Miss Swan." Gold sighed as he watched Emma. He wanted to force her in to seeing things his way, but he had learned Magic does nothing but ruin things.

"Saturday, we were planning a family Picnic. Luckily for you, Henry mentioned Inviting you. You are more than welcomed to join us. But I swear, you hurt my son in any way, I will not hesitate to shot you." Emma warned him. Gold nodded looking to Emma.

"Thank you. I know its taking a lot for you to have me there after everything. It seems I owe you a favor now." Gold said with a small laugh as he rose from his seat. Emma thought about what he said before she stood up herself.

"I want to cash in on that now. Killian's hand. I know you have it in your shop. I want it back and I want to know how to put it back on." Emma said grabbing her jacket.

"Well that was fast. Alright then, let's go Miss Swan." Gold said, glad to have that debt cancelled with almost as fast as he had made it. Emma left a note for her dad and followed Gold to his shop, hoping this would run smoothly.

Gold returned Killian's Hand to Emma and told her how she needed to reattach it. He thanked her for doing business and asked her to leave. Emma thanked him and left making her way back to the station, holding the bag with Killian's hand in it.

She told her dad what happened when she got back and noticed the look on her dads face.

"What? What is it?" She asked him taking a drink of her hot chocolate, though it had cooled down some.

"What if Killian doesn't want his hand back? I mean it's been 300 years Emma. Maybe he likes his hook?" Charming said as he looked to Emma wondering if she thought this out. Emma sat down in her seat realizing her dad was right. What if Killian didn't want his hand back? She sighed finishing her hot chocolate before she looked to her dad.

"I'm going to head out. I want to talk to Killian. Do you mind getting Henry after school and keeping him till after dinner?" Emma asked standing up, making sure she grabbed the bag and her new charm. Charming agreed and told his daughter to go. He kissed her head as she hugged him, praying for the best.

A|n: Whoa lots of great ideas! I have a few planned out that were mentioned but they are all amazing and I hope to get more chapters with the ideas people had! Thank you again!

As for Bringing Neal in, it wouldn't be for Emma to be confused. She's with Killian. There won't be any back and forth I promise! It would be interesting to see though!

The next chapter is actually done now, but I'm going to wait until Friday to post it! Anyways let me know what you thought of this one. Thank you all for reading and the sweet reviews!
