New one shot about Killian and the picture on his phone! Just some fluff to get us all through. I am still taking requests so leave those in the comments! Let me know what fluff you need!

The Pirate and His Phone

Killian is first introduced to the talking phone by Emma and Henry. They start out simple. Just calling and texting on a phone that looked different than Emma and Henry's. It had buttons on the front versus theirs which were just a screen. "One step at a time pirate."

A few weeks later he is "upgraded" as they put it. He gets a talking phone like theirs, on the condition that he calls it just a phone. He mumbles an acceptance as Emma hands over the phone and shows him how to use it. She explains texting, emails, apps and the camera function. Killian glances over to her phone and sees that when she turns it on there is a picture of her and Henry on there.

"Why doesn't mine come with a picture like that?" Killian questioned.

"It's the wallpaper. You have to take a picture and then set it as one. People put whatever they want as their lockscreens, but I normally do something with people. For now, you can use one of the ones that comes with the phone."

Killian's lockscreen starts out as a black design that Emma tells him come with every phone. He can change it when he starts using the phone to take pictures.

Killian first changes his lockscreen a few weeks after he gets the phone. He is out on the Jolly Roger with Henry and the view is amazing. He remembers Emma telling him that people use the camera to take pictures of things they want to remember. The sight of the sea of one he will never tire of, so he snaps a picture and places it on his phone.

The ocean stays on his phone for a while. There is not much time to be changing pictures with the Snow Queen on the rampage. He still takes pictures with his new phone though. Pictures of dinners at Grannies, of the times he takes Henry sailing, and even something the lad calls a selfie. He grows fond of these selfies since he gets to be in the picture too.

Killian first uses a selfie as his wallpaper next. It is him and Henry right before they set sail on the Jolly Roger. It had become a tradition for Killian to pick Henry up from school on Fridays and take him sailing for a few hours before they joined his mothers and the rest of his family for dinner at Granny's. Killian cherished these moments with the boy and was happy to document them.

The defeat of the Snow Queen and the banishment of Rumpelstiltskin means a period of peace. Killian gets normal moments with Emma. In her words, they are finally doing normal couple things. She finally introduces him to the wonders of Netflix and he starts taking her out sailing more. On their first time sailing, just the two of them, Killian is struck by just how amazing Emma is. She is so loving of her family, so strong, so brave, and yet, she still chose to be with him. Emma leans over the edge of the boat a bit to take in the view and all Killian can think is how beautiful she is with the wind in her hair and the sunlight shining on her. Naturally he snaps a picture and sets it as his lockscreen.

Emma blushes a few days later when she turns on his phone to check the time. "You don't have to do that, you know." Emma informed him. He shook his head, telling her that it was his new favorite picture. Emma rolled her eyes and pulled out her phone. She took a picture of the two of them and joked to him that she was reciprocating the favor.

Next time he looked at her phone the picture of her and Henry was gone. In its place was the picture of the two of them.

The terror of finding the Queens of Darkness left little time for quiet moments, especially picture worthy ones. Killian still enjoyed his simple nights with Emma, casual lunches and random talks, but both of their phones staying in their pockets. They were too happy being with each other to think about anything else.

When Emma became the Dark One and cursed them all, Killian could not even think about changing his phone picture. Every time he got a text or even checked the time he was reminded of what she was-what she could be again. There were many nights where he lay in bed awake, scrolling through his pictures to remember better times with her. He looked at the pictures of when he took her sailing, the pictures of the two of them and her family at dinner, pictures of her with her brother or son. His favorite was a picture of the two of them and Henry by the water. Killian and Emma stood arm in arm with Henry in front of them. They looked like a true family.

Killian changed that picture to his lock screen and when Henry saw it, he commented that he was happy that Killian was in his family. The boy pushed him to take that next step with his mother, both of them oblivious that they had had the same conversation in Camelot when discussing Operation Light Swan. Whenever Killian looked at the picture, he was reminded of the family he had and the family he would always fight for.

The next few weeks were a blur, fighting, being the dark one, the underworld. Events blended together and exhaustion overtook everyone, including Hook. He had no clue where his phone was for those weeks, but his thoughts were always occupied by something else. Revenge, survival or Emma. Mostly Emma.

Killian proposed when all was safe again. The darkness was out of both of them, he survived the underworld, and all was well. She said yes, much to his delight. Snow took pictures of the whole thing and Killian immediately took one of those pictures for himself. His favorite picture from that day was one directly after he proposed. Tears were still in Emma's eyes as she peered up at him. He kissed her forehead and held her tightly in her arms. That picture stayed on his phone until they recreated it after their wedding.

During their honeymoon, Killian made his beautiful wife his phone lock screen, which made her roll her eyes just like the first time. He couldn't help but laugh, but there was no way he was changing it. She looked like an angel that day, all dressed in white with her long hair flowing over her shoulders. He found himself checking his phone more and more now.

Killian left that photo for a while, until there was one worthy of replacing it. That picture came when Emma gave birth to their little daughter, Evie. His girls were too beautiful not to look at all the time, even when he was at work, so of course he had to change the picture to the two of them.

Killian updated his phone again three years later after his son, Liam, dropped it. When Killian got a new one, he made what would be an embarrassing picture to a teenage Liam his wallpaper. Lucky that the one year old boy did not understand. He eventually decided to just change it to a picture of both Henry and Liam. His little toddler seemed to protest that less.

One day when Killian was at work, Emma sent him a picture that quickly became his all time favorite, and dare he say, almost provoked a few tears. His four year old daughter, Evie, and his two year old son, Liam, were each sitting on Henry's knees. Killian quickly made the picture his lock screen and vowed to never change it again.

Until his daughter Amber was born.

Thankfully, his next child, Amber, had no issue with breaking his phone. She loved the camera more than her older siblings, so more often than not, there was a picture of the little girl on her father's phone.

Snow insisted on family pictures around Amber's first birthday. As much as Killian complained, he could not upset the Lady Snow, so he did it. The pictures turned out wonderfully. Almost everyone in the family used the pictures on their phones. David used a picture of him, his wife, and their three kids, Emma, Neal and Ruthie. Snow used one of Emma holding Neal and Ruthie. Emma chose a picture of her four kids with her and Killian behind them.

Killian decided to use one with the entire family. He smiled, thanking the stars above that he was lucky enough to have a real family of his own, people who loved him and cared for him.

He stated it was his new favorite picture, but everyone knew that that would change soon.
