Epilogue

"I'm going after her." Killian stepped around where Lily had disappeared.

"We don't even know where she went. How are we going to get there?" Emma said pulling him back.

"Emma, our daughter just went through a portal with the Dark One's son and you expect us to just do nothing." He couldn't save her. Lily had gone through the portal with Alex and who knows if she was ever coming back.

"He's not the Dark One anymore and I know you're scared, I am too. But we have to trust that she'll be alright." Emma said trying to calm him down.

From the background they both heard shuffling.

"What do you mean my son went through a time portal?"

Gold got past everyone to where Emma and Killian were standing.

"Where'd he go? What happened?" Gold demanded.

"That's what we want to know. All we know is that Lily said Alex had a revengeful plan and when we came to stop him he was creating the portal and Lily jumped after him."

"He was able to create a time portal all by himself?" Gold proudly asked.

"This isn't the time to be proud. Our kids are missing!" Killian yelled.

"For once we're in agreement and on the same side. I am not losing another son." Gold replied.

"Okay so what do we do?" Emma asked.

"I-don't know." Gold answered now lost in thought.

"Mom? Where 's Lily?" Three year old Liam hugged his mother's legs.

"Liam I thought I told you to stay with your grandma" she said picking him up into her arms.

"Don't worry lad. I'll find her." Killian answered ruffling Liam's short blonde curly hair.

Regina walked in. "Okay so I gathered every spell book I could find that could help us figure out what Alex might've done."

"Thank you, Regina." Emma took the books but flipped through them with a confused face.

"For Lily...anything." Regina answered.

Neal and Henry ran in.

"Okay so we found what might be drafts of his plan in his room, but-"

"You broke into my house?" Gold narrowed his eyes at his grandson.

"It's not breaking in if we're family right?" Henry smirked.

"Also it's an emergency here." Neal added.

"I let them in." Belle said walking into Gold's arms.

"We have to find Alex. He's just confused."

"Together we'll find him." Gold reassured her squeezing her hand. Their only son had caused all this trouble but neither was angry. They only had fear of never seeing Alex again.

"Anyways but none of the pages explain how he made the portal. We do know he's going to Storybrooke about 15 years ago." Henry said.

"Great. Who knows how the hell we're gonna get to the past?" Emma exclaimed pacing back and forth.

Neal, who was now 16, hugged Emma.

"Don't worry Sis. We just gotta keep looking."

Emma nodded and everybody went back to flipping books until a flash of blue interrupted them.

Alex and Lily tumbled through onto the floor.

"Lily!" Her family yelled.

"Alex!" His family yelled.

Both ran to hug their respective family.

"How long were we gone?" Lily replied.

"A couple of hours." Neal answered.

"It's been days for us. Even though I might've just saw you I missed you all so much. The past versions of you are too confused." Lily said causing everyone to laugh.

"And Neal you were such a cute baby to carry." Lily moved on to hug him.

"You saw me as a baby. Aw man that's so weird. I'm you're uncle. You're not supposed to see baby me." Neal said embarrassed.

"You're my uncle too but I saw you grow up." Henry poked fun at Neal like he always did. Sometimes it was really fun being older than his uncle.

"Henry! You were my height. No. We were the same height for once. I'm gonna miss that, but I missed you more"

Henry now 27 spun young Lily in his arms.

"I missed you too kid."

"Alex we were so worried. You're okay?" Belle ran to hug him.

"I'm fine, Mom. I almost made a mistake, but I didn't. I missed you so much."

Gold embraced his wife and son. They were a small family but they were a happy family.

"I'm going to use my powers for good only. I'm going to be a hero." Alex stated and this made his parents smile proudly.

"We know you will." Belle nodded and caressed his face.

Alex motioned for his dad to bend down.

"Since I know how to create time portals now maybe I could create one for us so that we can go visit my brother Neal whom I never met." Alex whispered in his ear.

"Maybe we could do that." Gold nodded with tears in his eyes not quite believing Alex wanted to give him a chance to see Baelfire again.

A little blonde boy raced into Lily's arms.

"Liam! You weren't in the past at all. I think I missed you the most."

Liam only giggled not understanding what Lily meant.

"Me love you Lily." Liam hugged her.

"I love you too brother." Lily hugged him harder.

"Lily" Regina stepped forward.

Lily looked up and ran to hug her.

"Aunt Regina. I missed you too. The past version of you was really confused about me."

"I mean the savior's daughter from the future calling me Aunt? I can imagine how skeptical I was."

Everyone laughed.

"We're glad to know you're safe." David told her.

"Of course I was safe. I was in the safest hands. All of you. Although you doubted me you knew that you felt the family connection and tried to keep me safe and feel at home." Lily smiled.

Alex walked over to Emma and Killian.

"I'm really sorry for causing all this trouble. And for hurting you when I went back in time."

Alex apologized not expecting to be forgiven yet. However, Killian surprised him by patting him on the back.

"It's okay lad. You've made a mistake but if you recognize it and apologize for it well that just makes you a brave smart man."

This made Alex smile gleefully. "Thanks!"

For a few moments everyone gathered around listening to Alex and Lily talking about their adventure. Suddenly, Emma stepped back.

"What's wrong love?" Killian asked.

"I'm remembering our engagement...when you asked me to marry you."

"Well that's very sweet of you but why are you thinking about that now may I ask?"

"No no. It's...a different memory. It feels...new."

Killian thought for a moment. "I feel it too, but I'm remembering it differently."

Lily jumped at both of them from behind.

"You're welcome." Lily said obviously proud of herself.

"But wait. How did you do that?" Emma asked the twelve year old who only smiled at her.

Present Day (A couple of months after Lily & Alex left)

"I told you I didn't want anything for my birthday." Emma whined as she fiddled with the red box with a yellow bow.

"Can you please just open it love?" Killian whined back.

"Fine. But I'm just saying you didn't have to go through so much trouble."

Emma untied the ribbon that made the bow and lifted up the red lid. Inside the contents jingled. Emma placed her hand in and retrieved a set of keys.

"You got me a car?...Wait a minute these are my keys."

"I was going to get you a car but then I figured you wouldn't trade that yellow bug for anything so I said why not just gift her the keys."

Killian laughed as he saw Emma's unimpressed face.

"I'm only kidding."

"Well you're right. I wouldn't trade my car for anything...it holds too many memories."

Killian understood. "I know which is why you're using that car to drive us somewhere"

"Okay...where are we driving to?"

Killian got up from the couch and starting walking out. "It's a surprise."

Emma rolled her eyes and stood still for a moment trying to guess places they might drive to and then just followed him.

After many turns and Killian constantly directing her left and right Emma was getting annoyed.

"Can you just tell me where I'm going?"

"There on the right." Killian pointed.

"The docks? We could have gotten here in 5 minutes."

"But then it wouldn't be a surprise now would it?" He stepped out of the car.

Emma crossed her arms and walked slowly behind him. She wasn't sure what she should be expecting.

"Behold." Killian smiled.

"Is that the Jolly Roger? But I thought you couldn't find it. How did you?"

"Well a little flower I know told me how I could get it back."

Emma raised her eyebrow then widened her eyes.

"A little flower? Lily? This is the secret she told you that you wouldn't tell me?"

Killian shrugged his shoulders. "Sort of. There's more to it. But yes she told me where the Jolly Roger might be located and I asked Ariel for assistance."

Emma laughed. "So is my gift the Jolly Roger?"

Killian ran his hand on the smooth wood his ship.

"I thought of that at first. But I thought of something better. I'm giving it to Henry."

"You're giving the Jolly Roger to Henry? Wow. I'm sure he'll love it. But why? You don't want your ship anymore?"

Killian walked over a few feet.

"Actually I bought a new ship. Emma, meet the Savior Swan." He pointed towards a ship that was very alike the Jolly Roger except it had the Savior Swan in white letters written in the lower side.

"Woah. You named your new ship after me."

Killian nodded. "And after it's new captain. Captain Swan. What do you say? Would you be the captain of the ship along with me of course?"

"Yea." Emma said still in shock.

"Well come on then. Let's climb aboard." Killian offered his hand in helping Emma jump on.

"I don't even know how to sail a ship." Emma looked around touching the ship that was now hers.

"I'll teach you. Just like I taught Henry." Killian grabbed her hand.

"You know I love you right?"

"I mean you say "I love you" to me every day. Do I know it?"

Emma laughed at Killian's face.

"Yes. And you know I love you too." Emma said leaning closer to Killian.

"Well then I want to ask you something."

"Okay. What?"

"Since we have this new ship. Would you go on more crazy, danger searching, adventures with me?"

Emma placed her forehead and his forehead.

"I would never imagine my life without the adventures."

Killian smiled.

"One more thing. When we go on these adventures I don't always want to call you captain."

Emma laughed. "Right. You can call me Luv like you always do."

"I have something else in mind."

Killian reached in his jacket pocket and revealed a small velvet box. He placed a single knee on the deck of the ship.

"Emma, will you marry me and let me call you my wife on these adventures that I hope never stop."

Future Again

"You didn't have to change that about the past." Killian answered as the memory lingered. He'd never told Emma that this was how he had always wished their engagement would have gone. He was happy that Lily was able to do this but he wasn't sure how Emma would react.

Lily shrugged. "I know how you always said you wish you'd found your ship earlier so I thought why not help you find it sooner and ask mom to marry you how you always wanted."

"You wanted to ask to marry me on your ship?" Emma asked. She didn't know about this.

"I thought it would be more memorable if I asked you like that." Killian answered quietly.

Emma leaned over to kiss him on the cheek.

"It didn't matter how you asked. I wouldn't change my answer."

Emma leaned down to look at her daughter and kissed her head.

"But thank you for giving us a chance of an even more beautiful moment."

"Happy one day early anniversary!" Lily yelled with her hands in the air.

Killian laughed.

"Now I'm wondering what our gift would have been if you hadn't been to the past."

"Oh Dad. You know I would probably have made you relive that whole scene anyways some other way."

They all laughed.

"Well just wait until your mother sees my gift."

Emma shook her head. "Can't be better than mine."

Killian raised one eyebrow. "Oh really?"

"Oh yeah. Just wait for it." She winked at him.

Lily rolled her eyes.

"Let's go home. The time traveling has made me tired." She took Liam's hand and walked in between her uncle, Regina and older brother. They followed Lily's grandparents and her parents followed behind them arm in arm. She looked over to her left as she saw Alex walking in between his parents. She waved at him.

"See you tomorrow."

He waved back.

"A new adventure awaits for us."

He was right. An adventure and many more and it was going to be great because she had a best friend to enjoy every moment of it and large family that who would support and protect her.

Thank you for reading. So I was planning on creating a series of one shots on the future life of Emma & Killian with the kids but I haven't decided if I would write it or not. Let me know if you'd be interested in reading it though.
