Oh, goodness! Last chapter! Here we go! This is the longest chapter I've written for this story, so I hope you like it!

Epilogue

Emma shot up and breathed in heavily.

"Emma, sweetheart, what's wrong?" Killian asked, worried. He had woken up as soon as he heard Emma wake up.

Emma put her hand on her large stomach. "It's time."

Killian's eyes grew large. "Now? You're not due for another week!"

Emma held back a scream. "Well, this baby seems to think otherwise." Emma, not being able to hold it back anymore, let out a small scream.

"It's really happening."

"You think?" Emma screamed.

Killian fumbled for his phone. "It's okay, Emma. I'll call your parents-"

"Henry can call them!" Emma shouted.

Killian nodded. Henry had come done for the summer. It was the beginning of August and it seemed that the end of Henry's summer vacation was going to be interesting.

Emma smiled as she opened her eyes. She immediately heard Killian's voice, "... your mother is the best mother you could ask for, my son. Consider yourself lucky to have her." Killian smiled down at the baby in his arms.

"Can I hold him or have you gotten too attached already?" Emma teased.

Killian looked up at Emma and smiled at her. "I didn't realize you were awake, love." He stood up and walked over to Emma. He kissed her head.

Emma smiled. "I just woke up."

Killian gently passed their baby boy over to Emma.

Emma kissed his head. "Hi, Liam. How are you doing?"

Liam yawned as he snuggled closer to Emma's chest.

"Mommy?"

Emma looked up and saw Harper and Henry at the door. She smiled. "Hey, kiddos, come in."

Harper smiled and ran in. She went and stood next to Killian, who picked her up and set her on his hip. "Is that the new baby?"

Emma nodded. "Yeah, this is your brother, Liam."

"After Dad's brother?" Henry asked.

Killian nodded. "Aye. Liam was a strong and brave man, just like this little one will be."

Emma smiled. "He'll be just like his dad."

Killian smiled at his wife.

"Can I hold him?" Harper asked sweetly.

"Of course," Emma said. Killian set Harper down next to Emma. Harper moved closer to Emma and held her arms out. Emma set Liam in Harper's arms carefully, still supporting him.

"Make sure to support his head," Killian added.

"I know, Daddy," Harper said. She smiled down at her baby brother. "Hi, Liam. Why are you so tiny?"

Emma and Killian smiled.

"You know, we have a good Mommy and Daddy. They love us and give me ice cream. Henry's good, too. He's your brother, too, but he's old. He likes to hangout with girls, too. Daddy calls him a lady's man, but I don't know what that means. Mommy says it means that girls think Henry is nice and funny and cute. Henry's nice and funny, but he isn't cute, that would just be gross."

Emma, Killian, and Henry all laughed.

"What?" Harper asked innocently. "It's true." She looked back at Liam. "Daddy has a boat. It's really big! We go ride in it sometimes. It's really fun."

Emma loved the way her daughter talked to Liam as though he knew exactly what she was talking about.

Liam yawned and scrunched up his nose. He started crying.

Harper looked at Emma, panicked. "What happened? Did I do something wrong?"

Emma shook her head. "No, baby. Not at all." She carefully took Liam from Harper and began to calm him back down.

Harper looked at Killian. "Is he okay? Is he hurt?"

Killian shook his head and picked Harper back up. "No, darling. He's just hungry." He glanced at Emma and then looked back at Harper. "Why don't you, me, and Henry go get some lunch from Granny's and, when we get back, we can eat with Mommy?"

Harper nodded. "Okay."

Killian leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on Emma's lips and stood back up. "Be right back, darling."

Emma smiled at him. "Be safe."

"Of course, love. Always." He walked out of the room, Harper on his hip and Henry following.

6 months later

Emma opened the door and shrugged off her snow covered jacket. It was February, so of course it was cold, but Emma couldn't help but hate it. She hated how cold Harper was everytime she got home from school. Or how Liam would cry in the middle of the night because he was cold.

"Careful, Li. I don't want you to fall," Emma heard Killian warn.

Emma looked up and saw Killian and Liam on the floor in the living room. Liam was standing, holding Killian's hands for support. He giggled.

"Yes, Li. Good job," Killian praised.

Liam giggled some more.

Emma smiled and kicked her shoes off before walking over to Killian and Liam. She kneeled down next to Killian. "Hey, Li."

Killian smiled at Emma. "How was work?"

Emma shrugged. "Boring. No more villains to fight."

"That's good to hear," Killian said, looking back at Liam.

"He's getting better," Emma noted, smiling at her baby boy.

Killian nodded. "Aye, and he's getting closer to saying his first word."
"I can't wait to hear his little voice."

Liam giggled more and lost his balance. He fell back on his bum.

"You okay there, lad?" Killian asked as he pulled his son into his lap.

Liam put his arms out towards Emma. "Mama."

Emma's face broke out in a grin. She reached for Liam and held him. "That's right, Li. I'm Mama."

Liam smiled and clapped his little hands. "Mama!"

Killian tickled Liam's back. "Good job, my boy."

Liam looked at Killian. "Papa."

Killian smiled even wider then he already was. He kissed Liam's head. "Aye, that I am."

"Mommy! You're home!" seven-year-old Harper squealed as she ran down the stairs. She ran as fast as she could and jumped on Emma's back, wrapping her arms around Emma's neck.

Emma laughed as she sat up straight. "Hey, baby girl. How was school?"

Harper pulled away and ran in front of Emma. Then she ran and sat in Killian's lap. "It was so fun! I got to draw a picture using markers!"

Emma gasped dramatically. "You did?"

Harper nodded. "Yeah! It was so fun!"

3 months later

"I know you didn't do Mommy and Me classes with Harper when she was a baby, so I don't know what you're going to think about this," Snow said to Emma as the two sat in a booth at Granny's for their monthly lunch date.

"Spit it out, Mom," Emma said, smiling.

"Ashley was getting a bunch of Moms and their kids together for a day at the park. It would be great experience for Harper, and Killian could watch Liam."

Emma didn't know why, but she started to feel a bit uncomfortable. "Mom…"

"I know. I'm sorry, but Ashley was so excited about it and she wanted to know if you would go."

Emma took a sip of her hot chocolate before answering. "I don't think so. Sorry. I just… that's not my thing; and I'd rather spend a day with my family than with a bunch of other people I barely know."

Snow nodded. "I get it. I agree."

Emma smiled. "Thanks, Mom." She checked her watch to check the time. "Oh, gosh. I need to get back to the station. My lunch break's over."

Emma and Snow said their goodbyes and went their separate ways.

On the walk to the station, Emma couldn't help but try to remember the last time she spent the whole day with Harper. It had definitely been before Liam was born, which was nine months ago.

Emma thought about doing Ashley's thing, but if she was going to spend time with Harper, she wanted it to be just the two of them.

Emma smiled to herself. She would have to talk to Killian about it, but she knew he would definitely be okay with it.

A few hours later

"Hello, love," Killian said as Emma stepped through the door that night.

Emma smiled at him. "Hey." She took off her shoes and jacket and walked into the kitchen. Killian was working on dinner. Emma walked over to him and stood next to him.

Killian turned his head towards her and kissed her softly. "How was work?" He turned back to focus on stirring the dinner.

Emma shrugged. "Work. Anyway, my mom brought something up at lunch."

"What was that?"

"She wanted me to do some activity with a bunch of the other moms in Storybrooke with Harper."

Killian chuckled and shook his head. "Your mother won't stop asking you to do that stuff until you agree at least once."

Emma groaned. "I know."

"Harper's seven, too," Killian said. "I don't think she would want to spend the whole day hanging out with toddlers."

"I don't know, Killian. She might. She spends half her day with Liam."

"But he's her brother."

Emma nodded. "Anyway, it got me thinking: I haven't had a day to spend just with Harper since before Liam was born."

Killian thought about that for a moment. "That's true."

"So, I was thinking that on Saturday, I could just spend the day with Harper and you could spend the day with Liam?"

Killian smiled. "That sounds great."

Emma grinned. "Good. Where are Harper and Liam, anyway?"

"Liam is asleep, and Harper is playing upstairs."

Emma kissed Killian's cheek and then walked upstairs to see her children.

Three days later

Harper was in a deep sleep when she heard, "Time to wake up, kiddo." She opened her eyes slowly and smiled when she saw her mother kneeling next to her bed.

Emma smiled. "It's time for Harper and Mommy Day."

Harper rubbed her eyes and sat up. "Harper and Mommy Day?" she mumbled.

Emma nodded. "Yeah." Emma pulled Harper's blanket back and Harper swung her legs over the edge. "Come on, let's go eat and say bye to Daddy and Li."

Harper slowly got off the bed. She took Emma's hand as she stood up. The two walked downstairs, hand in hand.

"There are my girls," Killian said as he saw his wife and daughter walk down the stairs.

Harper giggled. She ran over to Killian who picked her up and set her on his hip. "It's Harper and Mommy Day."

Killian smiled. "I know. Are you excited?"

Harper nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah!"

Killian kissed her nose. "Brilliant. Now, you and Mommy need to eat so you can go have lots of fun." Killian walked over to a seat and set Harper down in it so she could eat.

By the time it was time to go, Liam was bursting with excitement. He had found out that he was going to spend the whole day with Killian while Emma was with Harper. Killian had negotiated with David and he was taking over Killian's shift at the station today.

"Bye-bye, Mommy!" Liam pushed Emma's leg as she stood in front of the door. "You go bye-bye so Papa and Li have day 'ogether."

Emma bent down and picked up her baby boy. She kissed his cheek. "Love you, Li. Have fun with Papa."

Liam nodded and squirmed out of Emma's grip. He stood on his feet and hugged Harper. "Bye-bye, Harpy."

Harper hugged Liam adorably. "Bye, Li. Have fun with Daddy."

Emma smiled at her kids and then looked at Killian who stood right beside her. She kissed him quickly. "See ya tonight at Granny's."

Killian smiled. "I love you. Stay safe."

"I will. You better, too."

Killian chuckled. "I wouldn't have it any other way."

Emma laughed and gave him another soft kiss. "I love you, too."

"Mommy! Mommy! Let's go!" Harper shouted. She grabbed Emma's hand and drug her towards the door.

Emma laughed again. "Okay. Okay. I'm coming."

"Bye, Daddy!" Harper yelled. "Love you."

"Bye, little love. Have fun," Killian called back.

The door opened and the two girls walked out, Emma closing the door behind them.

Harper skipped down the porch steps and only stopped when she reached the bottom. It wasn't too cold outside, so she was only wearing a light jacket around her.

Emma took her hand.

"Where are we going, Mommy?" Harper asked.

"We are going to go have some fun," Emma said.

Harper giggled. "But where?"

"You'll see."

Harper giggled again and skipped alongside Emma as she walked. They walked until they reached the beach. Emma smiled at the way Harper's face lit up.

"Are we going to swim?" she asked, excited.

Emma laughed and shook her head. "The water is too cold to swim in, but I have another idea."

Harper started bouncing on her feet. "What is it? What is it?"

Emma lifted her hands and faced the water. She started moving her hands up and the water on the shore started moving up with her hands.

"Whoa," Harper whispered.

Emma laughed and pulled her hands towards herself. The water followed suit. Emma pushed her hands in Harper's direction and moved her hands in a circular motion. The water started to slowly swirl around Harper.

Harper jumped and clapped excitedly. She could see a few little fish swimming in the water, looking confused.

Emma's smiled never faded once that day. After spending a little bit more time on the beach, Emma took Harper to the park. Snow had ended up being there with Neal, so they stayed there until lunch. Afterwards, Emma took Harper to have lunch at Granny's. Then, to get ice cream at Any Given Sundae that was now being run by Hansel and Gretel and their father. Then they walked around the pond and fed the ducks, Harper insisting that the ducks were starving. At 3:00, Harper was dead tired. She fell asleep against Emma on the bench at the pond. At 3:30, she woke up and had the energy of a cheetah. Emma took her to the library and showed her some of Henry's favorite books and then read her a couple children's books. Then, Harper begged to go see her grandfather and the station. So, naturally, they did. By 5:05, Emma and Harper arrived at Granny's to meet Killian and Liam for dinner.

"Daddy!" Harper squealed when Emma and her walked into Granny's and saw Liam and Killian. She ran over to her father and hugged him as best as she could.

Killian chuckled and ruffled her hair. "Hello, love. How was your day?"

Harper pulled away and looked up at Killian. "It was so fun! I got ice cream!"

"Did you now?"

Harper nodded enthusiastically.

"Mama!" Liam exclaimed. He clapped his hands and waddled over to her.

Emma smiled and picked him up, pulling him into a hug. "Hey, Li."

Liam rested his head on Emma's shoulders. "Hi, Mama."

Emma kissed his head and then walked over to Killian and Harper. Harper was now sitting in a booth, pretending to read a menu, even though she already knew what she wanted.

"Did you have fun with the lass?" Killian asked.

Emma nodded, rubbing Liam's back. "Yeah; and I'm sure Harper will tell you all about it over the next thirty minutes."

Killian chuckled. "She probably will."

"What about you? Did you have fun with Liam?"

Killian nodded. "Aye. We spent most of the day in the backyard. He loves playing on that playset your father and I built."

"Of course he does. He's got a little adventure in him." Emma smiled. "Wonder where it comes from."

Killian grinned. "It's truly a mystery."

Suddenly, Harper slammed the menu onto the table. "Mommy," she groaned, dragging the name out. "I'm hungry."

Emma laughed. "Okay. Let's eat."

So, the rest of the night was spent eating food and listening to Harper take about the day.

2 years later

"Harper! Liam! Come down here, please!" Emma called up the stairs.

She heard a faint, Okay, and then heard two sets of feet come bouncing down the stairs.

"Mama!" three-year-old Liam squealed. He ran over to Emma, who picked him up and kissed his head.

"Hey, baby. What have you been up to?" Emma asked. Emma ruffled Harper's hair.

"Me and Harp play my ships!" Liam exclaimed happily.

"Did you now?" She smiled at Harper.

"Why did you need us?" nine-year-old Harper asked.

Emma took her daughter's hand. "Dad and I need to talk to you." Emma started walking towards the living room, Harper following.

"I didn't do anything!" Harper shouted.

Emma laughed. "That's not what we want to talk to you about."

"Oh." Harper sat on the couch. "Then… what?"

"One second." Emma put Liam on the couch next to Harper. Emma stood back up. "Killian, come on!"

A moment later, Killian came walking into the the room, two wrapped boxes in hand. He handed one to Emma.

"Presents!" Liam said. He clapped his hands. "Yay!"

Emma and Killian laughed.

"Yes, Liam," Killian said. "They are indeed presents; and they are for you."
Harper smiled. "Thank you!"
Emma passed the present she was holding to Harper, while Killian passed a present to Liam. Emma pulled her phone out and started recording.

"Open them," Emma said.

Liam and Harper wasted no time ripping open their presents. When all the wrapping paper was gone there was a T-shirt.

Harper unfolded hers and read it aloud, "Dealing with twin siblings is hard, but I make it look easy." Harper looked up confused. "What does that mean?"
"Harp!" Liam shouted. "What mine say?"

Harper took Liam's shirt he had in hand and read it to him, "Being a big brother is a real job, and I rock that job." Harper looked even more confused. "Mom, Dad, I think you bought the wrong shirts. Liam isn't a big brother."

"He is, though," Killian said.

Harper looked confused for another moment before her eyes went wide. She jumped to her feet. She looked at Emma. "Mom! You're having a baby?"
Emma nodded. "I'm having twins."

Harper clapped and jumped up and down. She looked at Liam. "Liam! Mom's having twins!"

Liam smiled and clapped. "Twins!"
Emma stopped the recording on her phone and slipped it into her pocket.

Harper immediately hugged Emma, Liam following suit. "This is crazy!"
Emma laughed. She shared a looked with Killian. "Yeah, it is."

Killian smiled. He wrapped his arm around her waist.

"Dad, did you know?" Harper asked.

Killian chuckled. "Aye, I did."

"How?" she asked.

Killian shrugged and ruffled Harper's hair. "I just knew."

Harper laughed. "This is going to be so awesome!" Her face became serious.

Emma lifted up Liam and set him on her hip. "What is it, kid?"

Harper looked up at her parents with wide eyes. "What if we can't tell them apart? They're twins!"

Liam clapped. "Twins!"

Killian chuckled. "We'll know, Harp; and if we don't, we'll make them wear name tags."

Emma laughed.

Harper shrugged. "Sounds good to me. Can we eat, now?"

5 years later

Emma smiled as she finished tying the back of Harper's dress. "You look so beautiful, sweetie."

Harper smiled and looked in the mirror. "I like the dress. It's blue."

Emma laughed. "Well, I should hope so. You picked it out."

"Without my permission," Killian said, walking into Harper's room.

Emma rolled her eyes. "Don't be so ridiculous, Killian. It's just a dance."

"Exactly. I seem to remember that you hadn't gone to your first dance until you were thirty," Killian said.

"That's different."

"How so?"

"Well, first off, it was a ball," Emma said, "not a dance. Also, I was thirty."

Killian nodded. "Exactly my point! She's only fourteen!"

Emma rolled her eyes. "Make sure Liam and the twins are in the car and buckled. I told them we could eat at Granny's after we dropped Harper off at the school."

"I think I want to be a chaperone at that dance."

"Dad!"

Killian turned around to see Liam running up to him. "Yes?"

"Leia and Luke have gone crazy!" he shouted.

"What happened, Li?" Killian asked with a sigh.

"They got into the flour!"

Killian's eyes blew wide. "The flour?"

Liam nodded. "Yeah! It's everywhere!"

Killian pushed past Liam and rushed downstairs, Liam in tow.

Emma and Harper laughed.

"Now," Emma said. "Let's get some mascara on you before your dad finds out."

Harper laughed. "He's going to notice."

"Nah, he'll be too exhausted after dealing with the twins."

Harper laughed.

Meanwhile, Killian rushed into the kitchen.

2 years later

Emma finished curling Harper's hair and set the curling iron down. She smiled. "You look beautiful, Harp."

Harper blushed. "Thanks, Mom."

Emma began to help Harper put some makeup on. Harper was still learning how to use makeup and everything, Killian had done everything in his power to stop Emma from teaching Harper how to use it. He still thought that his baby girl was too young for makeup.

"Does she really have to wear that?" Killian asked, walking into the bathroom and leaning against the wall.

Emma shot him a playful glare and then went back to putting the makeup on Harper. "It's fine, Killian. Don't be ridiculous."

"I'm not being ridiculous. I'm being logical," Killian stated. "Our baby girl is only sixteen, she shouldn't be wearing that."

"I'm not a baby, Dad," Harper said, rolling her eyes.

Killian walked over and kissed her head. "You'll always be my baby girl."

Harper smiled.

Emma pushed Killian away. "Go wait downstairs for Tim. He'll be here soon."

Killian rolled his eyes, earning a glare from Emma. "Alright, fine. Sorry, love."

Killian turned to walk out, but stopped when he heard Emma say, "And don't go all overprotective-Dad-mode. He's a good kid."

Killian smirked at her. "Can't make any promises."
Emma smiled and rolled her eyes, turning her attention back to her daughter.

Killian smiled and walked out. He almost tripped when he saw Liam race past him. "Liam, get back here."
Liam stopped in his tracks, knowing he did something. He slowly backed up and parked himself in front of Killian. "Yes, Dad?"

Killian rose an eyebrow. "Did you finish your homework?"

Liam rolled his eyes. "It's Friday, Dad. I don't have homework over the weekend."

"Did you do your chores?" Killian asked.

Liam nodded. "Yep."

Killian smiled and ruffled Liam's hair. "Good. Now, go play."

Liam smiled and ran downstairs to watch TV.

"That's my sword!"

"No, it's mine! You broke yours!"

"Not uh! I broke your sword!"

Killian sighed and walked into his twins' bedroom. "Leia. Luke. What's going on?"

Leia and Luke were both holding one end of a plastic sword, trying to pry it from the other's grip.

"She stole my sword!" Luke yelled.

"He stole my sword!" Leia yelled.

Killian rubbed his head. He walked over to the sword that his children were still yanking on, and grabbed it. "Whose sword is it?"

"Mine!" they both yelled.

Killian was going to say something, but there was a knock on the front door. Killian dropped the sword and ran downstairs, yelling, "I'll grab it!" He needed to get it before Emma and Harper came downstairs.

Killian put a look on his face that he hadn't used since he was a pirate. He opened the door.

Tim was wearing a white button up shirt with a blue tie. He had one arm behind his back and the other hand was fidgeting nervously on his leg. "Um, h-hi, sir - Mr. Jones."

Killian folded his arms across his chest. "So, you're the boy that courted my daughter without asking her father first?"

Tim didn't meet Killian's eyes. "I-I apologize. Y-your daughter is just v-very beautiful."

"I know that," Killian said harshly.

Tim looked about ready to run. "O-of course you do. Y-you're her f-father."

"Oh, Tim! You're here!" Emma said as she walked down the stairs and walked over to the door. "Come in." Emma pushed Killian out of the way so Tim could walk in. "How's your mom been?"

Tim smiled, feeling a little better now that he wasn't alone with Captain Hook. "She's great."

Killian knew that Tim was a good kid. He and Harper had grown up together. Emma and him were good friends with Ashley and Thomas, so, naturally, their kids grew up to be best friends; but Killian didn't like how good of friends they were.

"Tim!" Harper exclaimed. She ran over to him and hugged him.

Killian nearly punched Tim when Harper kissed his cheek. Killian clenched his fists and glared daggers at Tim.

Tim pulled his arm from behind his back and handed Harper a small bouquet of blue tulips (they were her favorite).

Harper smiled. "Thanks, Tim. They look beautiful."

Tim smiled.

Killian cleared his throat, earning everyone's attention. "So, Tim. What are your plans for tonight?"

"Um…"

Emma shook her head. "Don't worry about him. He's being ridiculous. Go have fun."

Harper smiled. "Thanks, Mom."

"Be home by eight," Killian said.

Emma rolled her eyes. "They can be out later than that."

"Fine. Eight thirty."

Emma just let out a small laugh. "Just be home by ten."
"Ten?" Killian almost laughed. "You must be mad."

Emma shot him a glare.

Usually, a glare from his wife was enough to make Killian shut up, but not now. "Eight thirty."
Emma looked back at her daughter. "We'll see you at ten."

Harper smiled and hugged her mom. "You're the best." She pulled away and looked at her dad. "Dad?"

Killian finally tore his glare away from Tim and looked at Harper. "Eight thirty or else you're grounded."

"Killian," Emma warned, fighting back a smile.

Harper gave Killian a sweet smile. "I love you, Dad." She hugged him. "I'll see you at ten." She pulled away quickly and grabbed Tim's hand, pulling him out the door. "See ya!"

Killian stepped towards the door, but was yanked back by his wife. He turned around and glared at her. "You are mad! You're letting our baby girl stay out with that boy until ten!"

Emma rolled her eyes. "They're good kids."

"I know Harper is, but I don't know anything about that Tim boy."

"Oh, please, Killian. You've known him since he was born."

"That doesn't change the fact-"

"It's mine!"

"No, it's mine!"

Emma and Killian both sighed as they turned to see their twins running down the stairs.

"Mommy! Tell Luke that the sword is mine!" Leia yelled.

"Dad! Leia stole my sword!" Luke shouted.

"For the love," Killian groaned. "Whose sword is it?"

"Mine!" they both yelled.

Killian smiled. He had an idea. "Luke, you can have the sword. Leia, come with me. We're going to teach you how to fight with a real sword so that no boys-"
"Oh, no you're not," Emma said. She looked at her twins and pointed upstairs. "Both of you. Upstairs. Now. Sort it out yourselves."

The seven-year-olds groaned and stomped upstairs.

Emma turned and looked at Killian. "You are even more ridiculous than David was!"

Killian shrugged. "David couldn't do anything about it. I can."

Emma shook her head and fought back a laugh.

Killian took Emma's hand. "Why don't we go make dinner for ourselves and the rest of our family?"

When Harper got home that night, it was 10:01

"You're late," she heard an angry voice say.

Harper rolled her eyes as she walked into the living room to see her parents sitting there. Emma was smiling, but Killian looked angry. "By one minute."

"Don't roll your eyes at me. What could have possibly made it so that you couldn't get here on time?" Killian demanded.

"Oh, stop, Killian. It's fine." Emma stood up and smiled at Harper. "How was it?"

Harper smiled. "It was awesome! We went to dinner-"
Killian cleared his throat and stood up. "You, young lady, need to go to bed. We can discuss your punishment in the morning."
"Punishment?" Harper asked.

Emma shook her head. "Your dad is being ridiculous. Go get ready for bed."

Harper smiled at her and gave her a quick hug. She kissed her dad on the cheek and then walked up stairs.

Emma looked at Killian. "You are just like David."

"Harper was late."

"By one minute." Emma's face softened. She stepped closer to Killian and put her arms around his neck. His arms immediately flew around her waist. "Killian, she's not going to be your little girl forever."

"She can be, but that Tim boy has to go."
Emma smiled a little. "You're impossible."

Killian smirked. "But you love me for it."
She laughed and kissed him. "Come on, let's go to bed."

2 years later

"Harper Snow Jones."
Harper stood up from her seat and walked up onto the stage. She received her diploma from the principal and shook her hand, smiling. Harper walked across the stage, looking out and smiling at her family as they snapped pictures.

Harper went and sat with the rest of her classmates, sitting next to Tim.

When all the names were called, the graduating class threw their hats up into the air and went to find their family members.

"I'm so proud of you!" Emma exclaimed as she wrapped Harper into a tight hug.

Harper smiled and hugged her mom tight. "Thanks, Mom." She pulled away and turned to her dad.

Killian smiled and pulled Harper into a hug. "Look at that, you graduated after all."

Harper laughed. "Yeah, I did."

"I am very proud of you," Killian said. He pulled away.

"I'm not so little anymore, huh, Dad?" Harper teased.

Killian smiled. "You'll always be my little girl."

Harper just smiled. She felt someone run into her side and hug her. She laughed and looked down, wrapping her arm around Liam's shoulder. "Hey, little bro."

Liam looked up at her. "You're not allowed to go to college."

Harper smiled. Ever since both of them could remember, they were best friends. They

spent almost every minute of everyday together. "I won't be leaving for another few months, Li."

"Still."

"Harper!"

Harper looked up and saw Leia and Luke running over to her. They wrapped her in a hug the moment Liam pulled away.

"You were great!" Leia exclaimed.

"You were awesome!" Luke added.

Harper laughed. "Thanks, guys."

They both smiled up at her before they pulled away and let Emma and Killian talk to Harper.

"So, what are we gonna do now?" Harper asked.

"What are we going to do now?" Killian teased. "What is there to possibly do?"

Emma smiled at him.

Harper pushed Killian's shoulder. "Come on, Dad. Tell me."

Killian smirked. "I can't. Your mother swore me to secrecy. You have to ask her."

Harper looked at Emma. "Mom?"

"You'll just have to wait and find out," Emma teased.

Harper let out a playful groan. "Come. On."

Emma and Killian laughed.

"Just follow us," Emma said. Emma grabbed Luke's hand and Leia's hand, pulling them along with her. Killian, Harper, and Liam followed them.

When they got to the car, they piled in. Emma and Killian had decided that they needed a bigger car after they found out they were pregnant with Leia and Luke. So they got a white suburban.

Emma and Killian got in the front seats. Emma turned around and looked at her kids. "Is everyone buckled?"

They nodded, hardly paying attention to their mother, and then went back to talking.

Emma smiled and turned back around. "You think she'll be excited?"

Killian nodded. "Oh, yes. They haven't seen each other in months."

"I'm glad we had the other kids reunite with him first, I want this to be a special moment between him and Harper."

"As do I," Killian said. He started the car and headed towards Granny's.

Harper loved her family. She was extremely close with her parents and probably even more so with Liam. She loved Leia and Luke, they were her baby siblings, well, that's what she thought of them as. There was only one person that was missing from her graduation: Henry.

Henry and Harper were close, too. Whenever he came to town, they spent the majority of that time together, but Harper hadn't seen him in months. He's been travelling around with his wife and kids. Violet was his wife and he had two children: Eva, who was his 5-year-old daughter, and Morgan, his 3-year-old son.

Harper smiled when she saw her dad park in front of Granny's. It was her favorite place.

"Come on, guys," Emma started, "Let's go eat. I'm starving."

They all climbed out and walked into Granny's Diner.

Harper gasped. "Henry?"

A man turned around and smiled. He nodded. "Yeah."

Harper smiled and broke into a run. She ran over to Henry and hugged him.

Henry laughed and wrapped his arms around his sister. "Hey, Harp."

Harper pulled away. "You came?"

Henry nodded. "I wouldn't miss this for the world. I am so proud of you, Harp."

"Thanks. I'm so glad that you're here."

"So am I."

"Aunty Harper!" Eva squealed. She ran over to Harper. She jumped up and down until Harper picked her up.

"Hey, Eva. How are you?" Harper asked.

"Good. Daddy said that you are done school."

Harper smiled. "I'm close to finishing. I still have to go to college."

Eva clapped. "Yay!"

"Aunty!" Morgan exclaimed.

Violet walked over to them with Morgan on her hip. "Good job."

Harper smiled at her. "Thanks."

"Now," Emma said, walking over to the other part of her family. "Let's eat."

2 years later

"Dad, I don't know how to tie this," Liam said as he looked down at the tie in his hands.

Killian stood from his place on the couch and walked over to him. "Ah, those things. I had a rather hard time learning how to tie them when I came to this world; but don't fret, it is rather easy when you learn how to do it." Killian tied the tie for Liam. "There you go."

Liam smiled. "Thanks, Dad."

Killian quirked an eyebrow. "You alright, Li? You don't seem like yourself."

Liam shrugged. "I'm fine."

Killian smirked. "You're a dreadful liar, just like your mother."

Liam smiled. "She was only bad at lying when it came to you. You could always read her, but no one else could."

Killian nodded. "It's true. Now, tell me what's bothering you."

Liam sighed. "It's just… it's kind of dumb."

"Nonsense. Whatever is bothering you is not dumb."

"I've never been to a dance before," Liam rushed out.

Killian smiled. "Do you remember how Henry and Violet met?"

Liam nodded. "Yeah. They met at a ball in Camelot." Liam realized where this was going. "Dad…"

"Hey, it could happen to you, too, my boy. You could meet the love of your life-"

"Killian, not this again," Emma complained, walking into the room. "He's fourteen. He doesn't need your speeches about dances."

"Thanks, Mom," Liam said.

Emma smiled and brushed some of the hair out of Liam's face. "You look handsome."

Liam blushed.

"Are you ready to go?" Emma asked.

Liam shrugged. "I don't know."

Killian patted Liam on the shoulder. "Come on, be excited! You could meet the love of your life!"

Emma and Liam both stared at Killian as if he were a mad man.

Killian chuckled. "Henry did and he was thirteen, even younger than you, Liam."

Emma rolled her eyes. She looked back at Liam. "Come on. We need to get you to that dance. Go get your jacket."

Liam nodded and ran off to his room.

Emma smiled at Killian. "You're so ridiculous."

Killian put his arm around Emma's waist. "I speak the truth."

"You were so protective when Harper started dating, why not with Liam?"

"Liam has some pirate in him. He can take care of himself," Killian explained.

"So could Harper."

"Yes, but I have told Liam time and time again that before he courts a young lady, he needs

to ask her father. Harper's boyfriend failed to do that."

"You did, too. I don't think you asked David before you 'courted' me." Emma smirked.

"Aye, because I knew that no matter what your father said, I wouldn't run from you."

Emma smiled and gave him a quick kiss. "I know. Now, let's go take our son to a dance."

One year later

Emma wrapped Harper in a hug, trying to hold it together. "I can't believe it! My baby is married!"

Harper laughed. "I know, Mom. Me neither."

Emma pulled away. "You deserve this, Harper."

Harper smiled.

"Aye, your mother is right, you do," Killian said, walking up to the newly wed. "You deserve all the happiness."

Harper hugged her dad. "Thanks, Dad."

Killian kissed the top of her head. He pulled away. "It feels like just yesterday I was holding you in my arms in the delivery room."

Harper pushed him playfully. "You're so dramatic, Dad."

"Harper!" Liam came running at Harper, wrapping her in a hug.

"Hey, Li."

The now 15-year-old Liam was the same height as Harper, and it killed Harper. She hated seeing her little brother so grown up.

Liam pulled away. "When are you going on your honeymoon?"

"Next week, why?" Harper asked.

Liam smiled. "Thank goodness! We can spend a whole week together before you leave!"

Harper smiled. "I would love that."

"Liam, I don't know if I like that idea," Tim said, coming up behind Harper and holding her hand.

Liam laughed. "Well, you're gonna have to deal with it, Tim."

Tim laughed. "If I have to."

Killian had grown to like Time over the past few years. He had never broken his little girl's heart and he and Liam had a great relationship. He couldn't have asked for a better son-in-law.

Killian clapped Tim on the shoulder. "You're a lucky man, Tim."

Tim smiled. "I know."

"And never forget it, or so help me-"

"What he means to say," Emma interrupted. "Is that we are glad to welcome you into the family."

Killian still had random outbursts of protectiveness when it came to Harper and Leia. "That's not what I was going to say."

Emma smiled at him. "I know."

"Harper!" 12-year-old Luke and Leia called. They ran over to Harper and hugged her, pushing Tim away.

Harper laughed. "Hey, guys."

Leia looked up at her. "You look so pretty! I love your wedding dress!"
"Thanks, Leia."

"I still think that you should've wore the armor Grandpa got you for your birthday," Luke said. "It would've looked way cooler!"

Leia hit Luke's shoulder. "No! You don't wear armor to a wedding!"
Luke shrugged. "I think I would've been cool."

Leia rolled her eyes. "You are so dumb."

"Right back at you," Luke muttered.

"Okay, okay," Emma said. "Why don't you two go find your friends?"

The twins smiled and ran off.

Once they left, they all laughed. They were used to the arguing of the twins and today was no different.

Henry walked up to Harper, Violet in tow. He hugged Harper. "I'm so happy for you, Harp."

Harper smiled. "Thanks, Henry."

Henry smiled as he pulled away. "We'll let you guys talk. The kids are hungry."

Harper laughed. "Okay, see you at dinner."

Violet gave Harper a quick hug and then they turned and left.

Later that night, they all gathered at Granny's for dinner. Granny's was full of friends and family. It was packed.

Finally, they all found a table to sit at and sat down for dinner.

Killian stood up, gaining everyone's attention. "I just wanted to say a few things in honor of Harper and tell a few stories. Harper has not had an easy life. Before she was born, she was in danger, but we found a way to protect her because she is loved so unconditionally. A few years later, she was in danger again, but we still found a way to protect her and she us in many ways. Harper, you are so loved and your mother and I couldn't be prouder of the woman you've become." Killian held up his glass. "To Harper!"

"To Harper!" everyone shouted.

Liam then stood up. "I… uh… I wanted to say something, too. Harper is my older sister. She has always been there for me and she is just awesome. Although I am not happy that I have to share her with yet another person, I am glad that that person is Tim. He's nice and pretty cool too." Liam nervously held up his cup. "To Harper and Tim!"

"To Harper and Tim!"
Liam sat back down next to Emma. She smiled at him and kissed his head. "You did great."

Liam smiled. "You think you can top that?"

"Oh, you bet I can," Emma laughed. She stood up and smiled. "I know, I know. There's been two speeches already, but there's probably going to get fifty of them tonight so get comfortable." Granny's was filled with laughter and then Emma continued, "Harper was the sweetest kid you would have ever met. She was a little shy, but after she warmed up to you, she was a handful." Emma laughed a little. "But, then she entered her teenage years and, oh boy, you better be glad you weren't there during her melt downs." Emma paused and let people laugh. "But, Harper always apologized in the end. She was a good kid, and still is; and, like Liam, I don't want to share her, but I have to let her keep brightening up other people's lives." Emma held up her glass. "To sharing!"

Everyone laughed before saying, "To sharing!"
Emma sat down and smiled at Harper.

Harper smiled back and stood up. "I have to say something now." She smiled. "My family is just amazing. They were so supportive and wonderful throughout my entire life and I could not be more grateful. There is one exception to that though: when I met Tim, my dad was furious. If you saw him when he first met Tim, you would never have guessed that he wasn't Captain Hook." She laughed. "But, even then, Dad was still supportive, even though I got grounded after pretty much every date; and then there's my mom. She is the most amazing woman you will ever meet. She is kind, funny, and supportive. I could not have asked for better parents. I am lucky to have been born into this family." Harper raised her cup. "To luck!"
"To luck!"
After about a dozen more speeches, and a long dinner, it was finally time for the dancing part of the night. The first dance was between Tim and Harper, but the second dance was the Daddy-daughter dance.

Killian and Harper danced across the floor, laughing and talking quietly.

"You are quite the dancer, aren't you, lass?" Killian chuckled.

"I had a good teacher," Harper said. "You."

Killian smiled. "I couldn't not teach you how to dance. What kind of father would I have been if I didn't teacher you?"

Harper shrugged. "You would've been the same."

"But you wouldn't be this good at dancing."
"That would've been fine with me."

Killian kissed her forehead. "But not fine with me. Your mother and I have taught each one of you how to dance and I intend to do the same with my grandchildren."

Harper raised an eyebrow, a little trait she had gotten from her father.

Killian chuckled. "I know you, Harp. You love kids. Ever since you were little you've wanted kids."

Harper smiled. "Yeah, you're right."

"Of course I am. I always am."

Harper laughed.

"Promise me something, Harper," Killian said.

"What is it?" Harper asked.

"Never ever be torn away from your family."

Harper nodded. "I promise."

Killian smiled. "There are the exceptions of if you get kidnapped by an evil monster or something, but we'll find you. We always do."

Harper smiled and hugged her dad just as the song came to an end.

So, that's the end of the "Separated/Torn Apart" series. I hope you have enjoyed reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it, which is obviously a lot.

This is the first story that I've written that has gotten over a hundred reviews! So thank you so much! I have loved reading all of the reviews!

Thank you to everyone who read, followed, favorited, and reviewed this story! It means the world to me!

I don't think Emma and Killian would ever name their twins (if they had any) Luke and Leia. I just thought it would kind of funny and cute, so I hope you like that little addition, or additions. :)

Please review and let me know what you thought about this story! I'm so sad that this series is over, as it as been my favorite to write; but I will continue to write, just not in this universe.

Thank you so much! :) :)
