Author's note: Computer got fried (along with my 9000 words for Lost Ones *sigh*) So I wrote this next part on my IPhone, I apologize for any grammar errors, etc. I do not own Once Upon A Time, KISS, Teen Wolf, Wizard of Oz, or anything or anyone else I mentioned I just like the idea of #SwanFire. Thank you for all your story alerts, favorites and reviews please keep them coming it looks like this will be more than one chapter, so I lied! Also, no I'm not implying that Baelfire is Henry's father but I do love when characters meet and they don't even know it, also I'm excited next season the writers said we may get to see some flashback of Emma growing up so I thought was thinking about that and wrote the next part…

When I Come Around

Flashback

Tallahassee, Florida

Twenty year old Baelfire has been crashing with a few homeless guys down the street passing through town. He did not like the bombs and war of this modern time period but he did like the new custom of Halloween. He knew he was too old for the children's custom but it somehow made him feel more at home, especially when he saw someone dress as a fairy or witch. He dawns a Teen Wolf mask along with a red and blue plaid long sleeve shirt, blue jeans, and a pair of LA Gear shoes before venturing into the night.

Seven year old Emma Swan dressed as Dorothy walks down the street. She carries a full basket of candy in her little hands excited to get back to her foster family. She can see the porch light of her family's house just down the street, almost home. Two punk teens dressed in KISS costumes step out from behind the bushes. "Hey Dorky give me your candy" said the one dressed as the Starchild. He grabbed a hold of one of her braided pig tails. The little girl slapped the teen's hand away. "No, it's mine" she said defensively. "I said give it" he grabs both her pig tails now and she drops the basket of candy. The Catman picked up the basket of candy. "What are you going to do? Use your magic red shoes to call up a Tin Man to fight for you?" the Starchild snorted. "Good one" the Catman laughed. "I don't believe in magic, but I can do this" Emma said picking her little foot up and slamming the red sparkly tap shoe down as hard as her little foot could on the Starchild's left foot. ""Ow! You little punk" he said pulling his arm back he was about to take a swing at the little girl. Emma's eyes weren't on Starchild though; she was staring up above their heads at someone dressed in a wolf mask. Baelfire gave a mighty howl from behind the KISS members. Starchild turned about to take a swing at Teen Wolf instead. Baelfire ducked and Starchild's swing missed him and his fist landed smack on Catman's arm instead. "Jerk" Catman said. Baelfire grabbed the back of Starchild's leather jacket pulling him away from Emma. He gave him a good kick in the back of the leg so the kid stumbled. "Let's get out of here Blake" Catman screamed still latched onto the candy. Starchild, Blake, took a minute to recover, glancing to see the wolf's next move. Baelfire could tell he wasn't used to having the bullying done to him. "Come on" Starchild said to Catman. He spit at the ground in front of Baelfire. "FREAK" he yelled and Catman laughed. Baelfire took a step towards the Catman. "Ah, let's go" Catman said not the fighting type. The Catman and Starchild started to run down the street with the basket of candy laughing and high fiving.

Baelfire knelt down next to Emma. "Hey Dorothy you were pretty brave there, gave those wicked monkeys a run for their money" he said in a muffled voice because of the mask. "Thanks" she sniffed trying to pick up her crushed candy. She wasn't afraid of the wolf man in front of her. She touched his mask feeling the faux whiskers and fur. "They'll be mad if I don't bring candy home, especially Terry." Emma told her wolf. Terry was Emma's father of the week, a drunken buffoon that kept her and a few other kids around for the weekly check. Of course she wasn't afraid of the wolf; the real beast was at her home he thought. Baelfire looked down at the bag of candy in his hand; there went his dinner for the night he thought as he handed the bag to Emma. "Here, and never forget you're stronger than you look. You're not a coward" he said feeling something very special about this girl. "I saw you almost take down the first guy yourself." Baelfire commented to her, wishing she could see his smile through the mask but he could not risk getting close to people. He had a mission and had to move on in the morning. Emma smiled taking the candy "thank you… "

"Fox, Michael j. Fox" Baelfire said howling as he got up and started to walk the opposite way "Bye Dorothy" he said.

Emma waved bye to him. She never told anyone about that Halloween but she never forgot.

10:15 PM - Present Day

Emma opened the passenger side door of the sheriff's patrol car. "Come on Ace" she smirked rather liking that name for him.

Baelfire willingly got into the front of the car as Emma got in on the driver's side.

"You ready? I could always drop you back off at the edge of town. You still have the choice to leave" Emma said staring at the road ahead of them. How many times had she almost left? Once. Twice. Three times.

"Would you?" Baelfire asked looking over at her as the vehicle turned off Main Street and onto Second, the street lights reflecting off her face as they drove on.

"I never had a choice in leaving" Emma could feel her wall creeping back up, she sighed and added "just because we shared a moment doesn't mean I have to tell you my life story."
"Shouldn't it? Whom better to tell then a stranger" Baelfire fires back at her watching her hands grip the steering wheel just a little tighter. He wasn't going to let her creep back under her rock and hide from the world. She might not need him but he was here now, a lost soul for her to rescue.
"But you're not a stranger. You are Gold's son from the other... Our world" Emma said hesitantly reminding herself she was a fairytale character too.
"Care to fill me in on that?" Baelfire asked "why Storybrooke is here at all"

"I think that's a question best left for the Wizard" Emma said her mind wondering on Oz for some reason. "Gold or Rumplestiltskin whoever he is brought the magic back and at least had a part in creating Storybrooke." Emma said trying to sum up what happened the best she could.

Emma parks the car in front of a few older houses.

Baelfire gets out and takes a moment to look around at the grand houses in front of him. He starts to make his way towards a house down the street. Emma whistled to him as he approached a dark blue eerie house next to a lighter colored one. "This house" she said pointing to the pink one. The house almost looked bright pink now with the fresh coat of paint and all the lights on. The house looked like it glowed, warm and welcoming. He stood there at the sidewalk taking the house in. "Pink?" he questioned eyebrow arched in a disapproving manner. He figured it was a joke and she was playing some sort of trick on him.

"Belle likes to call it salmon; it's a fresh coat too. Believe me a month ago it looked like the most haunted place on the block" Emma told him looking at the house herself.

If Belle had made it look inviting then Baelfire would make it look like home, if he stayed.

"Belle" Baelfire repeated the name "who is she?"

"She was a princess, story goes she was part of a deal to stay with him forever" Emma said leaving out the part where Regina had her locked up for years.

"And now?" Baelfire wondered what she was doing living with his father.

"He's her guardian, she lives there and works as his maid and in his pawn shop, and well they are..." Emma quite didn't know how to explain their relationship in Storybrooke.
"Together?" he asked thinking it was a bit odd his father letting her in to his house without cutting her tongue off or turning her into a snail.
"That's a good way to put it.. Boyfriend and girlfriend doesn't really suit what they are" Emma sighed, all this fairytale real world was a bit to take in sometimes.

The sheriff took a pen out and scratched some numbers on a piece of paper.

"Sheriff's office number and I wrote Granny's B&B address on there just in case" Emma said sticking the piece of paper out to him. He took it and glanced at it a moment before putting it in his pocket. Emma thought then how different he truly was from men in this world. Her bail bonders would always nip at her ankles for her real number, which she never gave out. She just wished she could help him more.
"My father did not change that much did he?" Baelfire asked sounding like a child about to be grounded for staying out too late.
"I'm not sure, truthfully I was only a baby in the other world, but that's a story for another day." Emma wished she could give him more information about Gold but without Henry's book she was without a rudder.

"Be strong. You made it to the door. He made a lot of deals, some good, some bad, and this one with the purple smoke but maybe you should ask him about that" Emma said put her hand on his shoulder and gave a little reassuring squeeze. Baelfire's dark brown ancient eyes met her crystal blue eyes again and a moment pasted between them.

"I think this is something you have to do on your own. Good luck Ace" Emma said finally releasing her hand from his shoulder.

"You can call me Bae" he said wanting at least her to know his nickname if his father and him got into a fight and he didn't come out on the winning side.

"I think I like Ace better" Emma smiled as she turned walking back to the patrol car.

Baelfire's stomach was filled with butterflies for the first time in a century.

The bright lights of the salmon color house did look inviting which was strange thinking of his father's house being welcoming instead of dark and closed off. He approached the door lifting his hand up to the doorbell but instead he decided to knock on the big wooden and glass door. A few moments past and a shadow could be seen on the other side.

Belle opened the door, wearing a blue and white sundress her brunette curly hair dancing around her shoulders. She smiled at him. "Hi! Can I help you?" she asked looking at him and then looking around a bit to make sure no one else was around.
Baelfire could see what his father saw in this princess. She was beautiful but also seemed to have a kindness about her.

"I'm looking for Mr. Gold, we have a deal." Baelfire said giving her the half truth.

"Oh? This late?" Belle asked the moon high in the sky.

"It took me a while to find the place, sheriff helped me" Baelfire answered as Belle gave him a questioning look knowing everyone in town knew where Gold lived.

"I'm Belle and you are?" Belle said stepping aside. She wanted to take a better look at him in the light of the grand foyer.

Baelfire smiled back at Belle, the girl was very enchanting "I'm sorry Belle forgive my manners, I'm…"

"Baelfire" a voice said from the doorway of the study.

Will it be a happy reunion? Thank you for reading, we'l soon find out...
