Remember Me:

Once again mad thanks to everyone who is reading, reviewing, following, and favoring this….also Regina totally would of influenced Henry's middle name to be that of her initial love…

Emma heard a knock on her door causing her to let out a sigh. Sunday was her day to relax and sleep in and boy did she want to….she just had the craziest dream. She was in some kind of forest….Kyle was there dressed in what he'd been wearing that first day he showed up and like that day they were close, too close for her own comforts and yet….

The knock happened again and she rolled over on her bed. She hoped it wasn't Henry telling her that someone from work was calling for some emergency cause while she loved her job most days she needed one more day of R and R before getting tossed back into the real world.

"Mom," Henry's voice rang out from the other side, "are you up?"

A part of her wanted to say no and roll back over but she couldn't bring herself to do that to her son and so she nodded.

"I am kiddo, what's wrong?"

There was no verbal answer however instead her door began to creek open as her son stood there with a mischievous smile placed on his lips the kind of smile that meant that he was up to no good.

"I made breakfast, I was going to bring it up here but I thought it would be less messy if I kept it in the kitchen."

Emma smiled at the sentiment as she sat up in her bed and soon climbed out ruffling her son's hair as she walked out and noticed the spread of French toast, fresh fruit, and hot chocolate with a hint of cinnamon causing her to shake her head.

"Okay kiddo, spill what do you want?" she asked as she took a seat at the table taking a sip of her cocoa.

"Who says I did this because I have an ulterior motive, can't I just do a good thing for my mom."

Emma nodded.

"You can."

There was a brief silence as she watched her son sit across from him beginning to eat his own breakfast as she ate her own before the silence broke.

"So, what do you think about Lena's brother Kyle?" he asked causing Emma to almost choke on the grape she had just popped into her mouth. Yep…. Henry did have motive after all…

Killian never did get a chance to go back and see the first of Casablanca the night before though what he did see he enjoyed. There was a kind of charm in old black and white films he'd decided and if he ever managed to come back to this realm once the Witch of the West was vanquished he thought he'd make a habit of curling up with Emma on a regular basis and immersing himself in them.

"You're still not going to tell me what she said?" he asked Lena as she cleared the dishes from their own breakfast table.

"Betraying the trust of a friend is bad forem," she said with a smile and a flick of water from the faucet in his direction.

Killian rolled his eyes at her not amused that she was turning his words against him and the water, well that was totally uncalled for and yet at the same time… it was actions like this that made him truly feel like they were siblings and at the same time it made him miss Liam. He wondered what his brother would of thought about his turn to piracy or the way he'd fallen head over heels for someone enough to cross realms and adapt to a strange new world in order to woo her.

"I suspect she talked about me….can you at least tell me if it's worth pursuing her to fall in love with me or if I should just enact plan B"

Lena knew what plan b was causing her to shake her head.

"What you're doing is fine, and who knows maybe it will be less than ten days."

At that he flashed her a smirk.

"Is this just your Good Witch optimism or is what she told you the fact that she likes me?" he asked moving from the kitchen to the couch.

"No, no, you're not going to con me now Killian." She replied now flopping down beside him.

"But I'm a pirate Eglantina, conning is in my nature."

He watched her cross her arms as she shook her head.

"So," she said changing the subject ever so slightly though still keeping the same train of thought going, "what do you plan as your next move in Operation True Loves Kiss?"

Shrugging his shoulders he shook his head.

"I don't know, maybe take her to one of those swanky shops uptown and let her pick out anything she desires."

"Clearly someone had insomnia and watched Pretty Woman last night."

Killian shrugged his shoulders so what if he did though perhaps he was letting his latest film selection cloud his judgment. Anyway his Emma wasn't the type to drop a month's pay on a pair of shoes and he doubted this Emma had been either and so he tossed the idea off the table.

"Well do you have any ideas? I'm not used to the whole courtship process especially not in this realm."

Lena simply shook her head. For someone who was not used to it he seemed to be doing an okay job as like Emma told her the day before he was making an impression on her. Promising not to tell him as much however she simply reached for her remote.

"So, what movie are we planning to watch while you figure it out?"

Picking up a DVD box that had been sitting on the table he turned it so she could see.

"Moulin Rouge, a tail about truth, beauty and above all else love, surely it will inspire me on my endeavors to win Emma's heart."

Emma tried to deflect the subject of Kyle Ward as they ate their breakfast and she began to do chores around the apartment however as she was coming back into the living room after putting a load of laundry into the wash Henry was sitting on the couch arms crossed and a stern look on his face. He was adamant about her answering his question and he wasn't going to stop pestering her until she did.

"So, Kyle what do you think about him mom?"

Emma let out a sigh as she took a seat beside her son. She knew she couldn't tell him some of the things that she told Lena the other day like how it felt like his intensely blue eyes were staring right into her soul or how his accent made her weak in the knees. Lena teased saying how she had an accent as well which had caused Emma to comment how there was just something about guys with accents that made women go crazy.

"Well, first impressions aside," she began causing Henry to nod thinking about that morning in the doorway, "Kyle is charming….definitely easy on the eyes…"

"So are you going to date him?" Henry asked eyes wide.

"HENRY DANIEL SWAN!" she exclaimed causing her son to flash a worried look after all he knew that the use of the full name meant serious business. "you did not just ask me that."

She watched her boy flash a guilty look in her direction all the while thinking about how Kyle had told her he'd come to New York in search of love. She briefly wondered if she could be that for him but laughed it off thinking that an instant family wasn't the kind of love he desired.

"I mean would you be okay if I started dating kiddo?" she finally asked thinking that she had been on dates before however nothing ever lasted seriously.

Henry simply nodded a smile on his face silently answered the question however it seemed that he wasn't done yet with his master plan as soon he was handing Emma her cell urging her to call him. Emma simply shook her head 'no' at her son's pleas not for lack of interest it was just she had another plan in mind as she ruffled her son's hair before walking into her room a playful smile on her lips.

The movie was beautiful visually, musically, emotionally beautiful as he turned off the DVD player an idea forming in his head. Perhaps he could serenade Emma, bare his emotions out to her through song maybe that was the key to her heart.

"So, do you know if she likes musicals?" he asked Lena as she shrugged her shoulders and stood up off the couch straightening herself up.

"I don't know," Lena admitted thinking about how she knew Emma but there was allot she didn't KNOW about the blonde she'd been keeping tabs on and at times like this she wish she had.

"Well here's hoping she does," he replied getting up as well about to head toward his room when a knocking sound fell on the door.

"Were you expecting someone Len?" he asked as the brunette shook her head.

"You?" she asked causing Killian to shake his own head. "It's probably solicitors; if we don't answer they'll just go away."

Killian nodded however he couldn't help but let himself be drawn toward the peephole curious as to who might be calling upon them. As he noticed a particular Blonde on the other side his heart began to race leading him to suck in a deep breath not knowing what would happen. Opening up the door he locked onto her sparkling eyes and let a smile cross his lips.

"To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit Miss Swan?" he asked as he looked over to her. Was that a hint of a blush he detected crossing her cheeks or were his eyes playing tricks upon him.

"Well Mr. Ward," she said with a smile, "I had fun with you the other night and I was wondering if we could maybe do it again?"

"Are you asking me out on a date?" he asked with a smirk wanting to know if he understood her words clearly.

"I wouldn't put a label on it but yea….I am…."

A part of him wanted to tease some more saying how it was uncommon for the woman to make the first move however he came from a different time and place and knew the rules had changed in this world for better or worse and this time….this time definitely fell into the former category.

"And when would you like to go on this date?" he asked with a curious look in his eyes.

"Well, I have to drop Henry off at a classmates to do a school project so maybe in an hour…..that is if you don't have any previous engagements."

Killian shook his head.

"I'm all yours Miss Swan."
