Will Hook ever find out the truth?

The answer is yes and it is about to happen right here... Hold onto your hats people.

Bit shorter tonight, I was tired.

Sorry.

May not be an update tomorrow I have a lot on

As always please review.

Killian had no idea what time it was all he knew was that it was late, he had peeked an eye open to find Emma still sitting by his bedside but she was reading by a single light on the wall and the rest of the room was in darkness. He had just closed his eye again still not sure what to say to her.

He lay there thinking to himself for a while, he had the thought that it had to mean something that Emma was still with him, surely if she wanted the other Killian she could have left to be with him but here she remained. He was just preparing himself to "wake up" so he could talk to her when the door opened and he heard David's low voice.

"How's he doing?" he whispered quietly but Killian could hear him clearly, other than his heart rate monitor there was no other sounds in the room.

"Better now, he's breathing much easier. Dad it was so scary." Emma whispered back

"Has Whale found out what happened yet?"

"Nope, he's taken bloods and is gonna run a full spectrum of tests so hopefully we'll get answers soon but he says that everyone swears blind that they never gave him anything and normally I'd say that someone was lying but I never left Hook's side and if someone had given him anything I would have seen them. I don't get it... How did he end up overdosing? Something doesn't make sense..."

"I agree... something is definitely off with this whole thing, I just don't know what" David hissed back before carrying on "Anyway I came to relieve you. Mary-Margaret wants to go and check on Regina and I knew you would want to check on Killian and Henry so I thought I could stay here with Hook. They've admitted Regina to a side room but she's not happy about it and I think Henry is struggling to keep her in line plus the kid could do with getting to bed soon so if you head to Killian's room your Mom will go to Regina's then she'll send Henry back along to you so he can sleep in the spare bed... you know there are entirely far too many members of this family in this place right now"

"Don't I know it" Swan replied and Killian could hear her getting up and moving about

"Just to let you know" David said quietly "Killian got quite upset earlier. Your Mom explained to him about Hook, she said he took it really well at first and that she was surprised at how much he understood but after a while once he'd had time to think about it he asked if we were going to send him away because we had our Killian back but don't worry, your Mom set him straight"

"God Dad, I could never send him away, I don't know what I'd do without him now"

"I know what you mean, who would have thought that "Killian Jones" could be so endearing" David laughed "Your Mom is really taken with him too and as for Henry, I've never seen him look so happy. Things are going to be good from now on Emma, you have the perfect little family there"

"I know" She replied quietly "Anyway, I'll be back in the morning, I'm pretty sure Hook will sleep 'til then anyway."

Killian could hear the smile on her face, she really was happy with his other self but right now Killian was anything but happy he just felt empty inside. He felt Emma lean over and kiss his cheek, how could she do this to him after just saying how much she cared for this other Killian?

Then she was gone and he heard David settle himself down onto the chair next to the bed. Killian tried to keep his emotions in check, he really did. He didn't want David to see that he was upset but his chest gave a lurch when he couldn't hold back a particularly hard sob and the Prince was up on his feet in seconds.

"Hook? What's wrong?"

"Just leave me be" Killian blurted out turning his head away

"Nope, not until you talk to me. You made a promise not to keep things to yourself, come on spill"

"Are you sure that it was I who made that promise?" Killian hissed turning his head quickly to look at David through teary eyes.

"What? What are you talking about?"

"Nothing... absolutely nothing. You need not worry about me anymore. I will be just fine. I have managed to keep myself in one piece for centuries I am sure that I can manage from here on in"

"You are not making any sense... I think you hit your head harder than Whale realized"

"Well in that case maybe I should just go back to sleep then perhaps when I awake this nightmare will be over" and with that Killian turned himself onto his left side groaning loudly when it pulled painfully on his sore body.

"You're really not going to talk to me?" David asked in disbelief

Killian didn't reply, he just pulled his bedding up higher bringing it up over his head hissing when his fingers got caught up in the blanket. He knew he was being childish but he just didn't care. The quicker he could get out of this hospital and could leave this whole place behind the better... He heard David sit down with a sigh and he thought that the subject was dropped but apparently the Prince was not quite done.

"Emma is worried about you, you know"

"Aye I can see, she is so worried that she went back to the other me" Killian muttered but it must have been loud enough for David to hear because he answered straight away.

"You're jealous?!" he cried out "That's low even for you Hook. Killian is scared, he has no idea what is going on and he needs EVERYONE to be there for him right now"

"Well that makes two of us" Killian huffed out in reply

"You are unbelievable" David sighed but that was all he said, it seemed that the conversation was finally done.

Killian knew he wasn't being fair, he was angry but this was not the Prince's fault, it was his own stupid fault. If he hadn't found that gem...

"Gah" he gasped out as a pain seared through his head, the room faded quickly and when he came too it was to find that he was once again on his back and it was daylight. He looked around squinting into the room as his head throbbed against the brightness, David was sleeping in the chair by the bed and suddenly he remembered the whispered conversations between the Prince and Emma last night... then he remembered the fact that he had acted like a spoiled child too. Gods, none of this was David's fault or Swan's either, he was going to have to apologize.

"Bloody Hell" he groaned when he tried to move and everything flared at once.

"Hook? You OK?" David was suddenly by his side

"Aye..." He gave a heavy sigh dropping back down onto the bed and closing his eyes "Look Mate, I'm sorry about last night, I didn't mean to take it out on you"

"You're forgiven and I get it, you're frustrated but you need to take it easy. You nearly gave me a heart attack when you passed out again. You've been through a lot just try not to let everything get to you."

"That is easier said than done..." Killian sighed again, surely David understood that this whole situation was just impossible.

"You want to talk about it now?"

"Not really..." Killian replied opening his eyes and looking at David hoping that he'd take pity on him but apparently he wasn't going to be that lucky

"Come on Pirate... you know that you can trust me. Trust me now"

Killian sighed, knowing that David wouldn't let this go... he might as well get it over with.

"You accused me last night of being jealous and you were right but how could I not be Mate? He was here with Emma when I was not. Of course Emma would want to be with him. It will just take me a bit of time to get used to things but I will not stand in her way. All I want is her to be happy and if that means that it is with this other Killian and not I, well so be it"

"Why would you think that she wouldn't want you if she had him?" David asked with a really confused look

"Well I would have thought that would be obvious... We're not really into sharing if you know what I mean?"

"I don't understand... wait...Oh my God you think that... Oh this is just too good. Were you even listening when Emma explained about Killian?" David's eyes danced with laughter and he was grinning widely

"I don't find any of this amusing Mate and I may have been in a bit of pain when Swan was explaining things. In case you had failed to notice my leg was pointing in a different direction than it should have been at the time but I got the gist of the conversation, there are two of us, surely that is all I need to know"

David just chuckled and walked towards the door "I'll be back soon. This is just too good"

"Where are you going?" Killian called out after him but David didn't stop he just called back over his shoulder

"Just wait... you'll see"

What the hell was going on?

Killian managed to raise the bed slightly wanting to be in a better position to see when David returned, he had a feeling the Prince wouldn't be returning alone. Killian was tired, he ached terribly and really did not want to deal with this right now. He briefly wondered when Whale would be back with some pain medication as he lent back on his pillows with a groan.

Next he lifted his hand up to find that there was a thick dressing taped to his palm and his fingers seemed to be smothered in a think gel like substance. He gingerly flexed his fingers and hissed slightly when they stung horribly, they were no use to try and get himself a drink so he let his hand fall back down to the bed and sighed before lifting his stump up instead. The feeling was beyond strange, he could clearly see that there was no limb there but he could almost feel a hand where there once was one, it was hard to explain and quite frankly thinking about it was hurting his head so he just let that arm drop back to the bed too

How had he managed to get back here so quickly? The last time he was here he had sworn to himself that once he was free he would not be returning yet less than six months later and here he was right back in the same bloody place.

Gods, where was David ? What was he doing that could be taking so long? The Prince seemed to be taking forever, was he doing this on purpose? When the door finally pushed open again it wasn't David but Emma who walked through and she was grinning like a fool, Killian was not amused and his scowl must have shown it.

"Don't you give me that scowl you infuriating Pirate" she said coyly then smirked as she stalked forward and before he knew what was happening she had practically thrown herself at him. The kiss was intense and as much as he had mentally prepared himself to let her be with his other self he couldn't help it when he deepened it letting his feeling for her soothe him but eventually she pulled back to rest her forehead against his.

"You are an idiot"

"I thought I was being the bigger man Love" he answered with a sigh

"Well that part is true at least." she chuckled again "You know I love you and you are stuck with me, right?"

"Swan, it won't work. I can't share you..." he shook his head and pulled away but she just carried on still smiling

"I think you'll find that you can, in fact I think you'll be happy about it in the end"

Killian was so confused and tired, he didn't have the energy for this "I don't understand Love"

"I know and that's what makes this so good. You know my Dad is not gonna let this go for a looooooong time, this is gonna be "Pink Bear" all over again"

"Let what go? Swan I am tired and in pain, are you going to explain what is going on or not?"

"Not...I'm gonna show you" she replied raising an eyebrow high on her head before yelling "DAAAAAD"

Killian looked to the door as it opened and Henry walked in grinning widely "Hey Killian, how are you feeling?"

"Confused Lad, do you know what's going on?"

"Yep" was all the boy said but he was laughing now too as he pushed the door wider.

When David walked in Killian didn't register at first what was going on, he was looking for someone else too follow, surely they were bringing his other self here. That's what this was all about after all but when Henry let the door close Killian looked wildly around trying to figure out what was going on.

"Would somebody just bloody well tell me what the hell is going on?" he yelled out in frustration.

David cleared his throat loudly and said in a harsh tone "Curb your language Pirate"

Killian's gaze moved to David about to berate him further but when his eyes settled on the Prince it was to find him holding a young dark haired boy dressed in pajamas. Killian's brain lurched and he gasped in a huge breath. As a child there had never really been mirrors around but he still recognized those big blue eyes and the scar that ran across the Lad's right cheek, this couldn't be true but his last doubts were snubbed out in the next second when the boy spoke and gave him a shy smile.

"I am pleased to meet you Killian Jones... my name is Killian Jones"
