Chapter 16:

Emma knew they weren't supposed to see each other, but she just couldn't stay here and do nothing when she knew he was not alright. The fact his mother showed up really turned everything upside down. Killian was lost right now, not knowing what to do or even who he was, after he learnt his mother was a royalty. And Emma understood that. She really did.

"She apologized for leaving me. But I can't forgive her just yet. I mean, you know my past love. You know what I went through, what my father did to me. I was abandoned. Twice. Royalty or not; she could have took me with her. I felt like I was the reason of her departure. I was just a kid, how could I not think that? She's one of the reasons I became selfish. Milah just increased it." Killian said, watching his hands. She had never seen him so vulnerable, he had just broken his walls entirely, completely, and he had never done that before.

"But you are not that man anymore. I'm sure you never really had been. It was just a hard and dark part of your life. Don't let the fact your mother's here get you down. You should tell her how you feel. I think you should give her a chance. Not forgive her entirely, I understand it's too soon. But everyone deserves a second chance, right?"

"Maybe you're right. You know, I just learnt my mother was a royalty" he said and she nodded. "What does it make me? A prince or a bastard? Because my father was certainly no prince…"

"I think… No… I'm not going to offend you right now. Not the time" Emma teased.

"What was it you were about to say Swan?" Killian inquired, his playful smile back on his face.

"You're not going to like it"

"Pray tell"

"I was going to say… A Prince. Because it is obvious you already are a bastard" she grinned and he smirked.

"I was expecting more coming from you Emma. I'm really disappointed" he replied, putting a hand on the wall at each side of her head, blocking her between him and the said wall.

"No way Jones. No kiss. Not before the wedding, you were not supposed to see me, but you did. No kiss" she smile and he pulled back, knowing Snow would kill him if he did "You should go talk to your mother. I'll see you tomorrow" she said, pecking him lightly on the cheek.


Killian took a deep breath before pushing the doors. All the faces turned to him and he cleared his throat before asking his future parents-in-law a moment with his own mother. They nodded and left the room, leaving the both of them alone. There had been an awkward silence before his mother apologized again.

"I know you're sorry and I accept your apologies. I don't forgive you. I'm not saying that. I'll need time. I've felt guilty for your departure all my life. I thought I was the cause of it. I was angry with you, still am. Because of that I became the man I never wanted to be. Emma is the reason I'm not like this anymore. I only have one question. Why? Why coming back after all those years?"

"I was planning to come back when you'd be older, but when I did, you were gone and so was your father. I looked for you ever since, I never stopped. When I heard you were the one the Princess was with, I came to the Kingdom. And when I heard you were getting married, I decided to come to the King and Queen to see you. I am so proud of you Killian. There's not a day I did not regret leaving you. I should have taken you with me. You would have received the education you could have needed. Grow up as the prince you are" his mother said.

"I grew up as a pirate and received the best education I could from the most honourable man I've known. I never thought of being a prince. I never thought I could be one. The positive aspect in this entire story, is that without you leaving, I would have probably never met Emma. So I guess I need to thank you for that."

"You are a prince. I'm sure you would have met Emma one day or the other. True Loves always find each other. You are going to be a great king one day and you and Emma are going to be awesome parents. Better than I was. I'd understand if you can't call me 'mom' or 'mother'. It's understandable that you'd prefer to call me Esmeralda" she shyly smiled.

"Thanks. For your comprehension and know that it warms my heart to know that you looked for me. I… I'd like it if you could attend to the wedding tomorrow."

"Of course, I'd love to. You are my son, how could I not say yes?" Esmeralda pulled him in her arms and he hugged her back, tears rolling down each other cheeks. He couldn't believe his mother was back. Killian finally let his happiness of her come out. He eventually pulled back and invited his mother to take a walk, trying to talk about their lives, the time they lost. Trying to build a mother-son bond. And Killian, even if still mad at her, decided to put his anger away and enjoy the moment.
