Here you go my sweets... enjoy this , it has a bit of everything.

As always please review

:)

Devin quietly seethed to himself, he watched the others as they joked and laughed around the fire. They had stopped for dinner a while back but he'd had enough of them already, he just wanted to be alone to think.

"Get back to work" he suddenly yelled out getting to his feet.

They just did as they were told slowly making their way back through the hole in the wall and disappearing into the tunnel. The minute they were out of sight Devin's hand found itself at his throat and he winced for what felt like the millionth time over the last day. The Dark One may not have actually had a rope last night when he had appeared but that didn't mean to say that Devin's neck didn't feel like he had THEN to make things worse Peter's traitorous Father had returned this morning to add insult to injury by beating him in front of the other boys... Devin was not happy about it in the slightest, they couldn't see him as weak, he was supposed to be untouchable as their leader.

He was supposed to be strong and defiant to the end but he had cried into the dirt as the Dark One's cane had hit his skin... The other boys had said nothing but he had seen the way they had looked at him, they were weighing up his worth which had left him with no other choice, he would have to teach one of them a lesson later to keep his control.

Devin was furious but knew that for the time being he would just have to put up with his injuries both from the Dark One and that wolf girl. Although if he could find a way he would get revenge on that flea ridden pest, she had left him bloodied and bruised after catching up to him the night before but he had managed to get free and right now he needed to find that gemstone as soon as possible. He didn't care what the Dark One wanted with it, all he knew was that it was his ticket home and that is where he so desperately wanted to be... he was so close.

He would be in charge and the others would look at him how they all used to look at Peter. Would the shadow man come to him too? Could he be able to start to collect more Lost Boys to join his crew?

A sudden sneer appeared on his face when he thought of the boy that would soon be joining them. Devin had snuck into the bedroom at the Evil Queen's house as Henry, Rapha and this Junior had slept and he now knew with all his soul that he HAD to have this boy. The boy that looked so familiar with his dark shaggy hair... he MUST be Captain Hook's son so taking him would be Devin's ultimate revenge and the best part of this plan was that no one would know where they had gone so there was no way that they could come looking for them.

He stalked around the fire prodding a long stick into the flames as he wondered about this "other boy" that Gold had said was of no consequence.

Who was he?

Where was he right now?

Did Gold already have him hidden somewhere?

A sudden thought popped into his head and he rummaged into his pocket pulling out the charm that the Dark One had given him.

Should he?

His hand moved back up to his throat feeling the pain once more and his decision was made, he pulled the charm over his head and made his way down the long passageway towards the beach. Maybe he did need to know more about this gem stone after all and he also thought that is was perhaps time that he got as much information about Gold's plan as he could, if that meant following the Dark One around town... well so be it.

He briefly wondered if this magic would keep him concealed from it's creator but he shoved his fear to one side, he could always say that he was looking for the Dark One to ask for further instructions regarding their plan or something equally plausible... he'd think of something if it came to it. The more he thought about it the more confident he grew in his decision, he had been foolish in entering into an agreement without knowing the full details... If Peter had taught him one thing in all their time in Neverland it was that you should never trust the Dark One to make a deal that helped you, there was always a loophole somewhere and Devin was not going to get caught out, not this time, the outcome was too important.

He gave a smirk as he picked up his pace, then whooping loudly he broke out into a run as he came into the open tunnels towards the beach, he hadn't had this much fun in ages.

"How's Old Peg Leg doing?" David asked as he stepped through the doorway carrying Junior in his arms giving Killian a playful grin

"Less of the "Old" Mate" Killian said with a wince as he pulled himself up on the bed and stifled a yawn before laying back with a sigh, he wanted to ask how David had got on talking to Gold but with the Lads here that was not an option so he just carried on with the light banter instead "But in saying that I feel every one of my three hundred plus years today. What time is it?"

"You are three hundred years old?!" Junior suddenly gasped before he got his reply

"And then some" Killian chuckled "But longevity it is not all that you would think Lad. I spent a lot of those years being miserable and a not very nice person. No Lad, you are much better sticking to what the Gods intended and being happy with it"

"When is your Birthday?" David suddenly asked with a frown as he let Junior down on the other side of the bed

"Yeah, that's a point" Emma suddenly called from the kitchen "When is it? We've never celebrated in all the time I've known you"

Killian sighed and shrugged "No idea. All I know is that I was born in the summer time"

"What? You seriously don't know when your Birthday is?" Henry asked sitting down on the edge of the bed as Junior started to give a little bounce or two

"Why?" the lad asked as he built up height "What is so special about your day of birth?"

"You get presents and cake and balloons and a party... Birthday's are great" Henry replied getting to his feet and Killian suddenly saw the box in his hand but he didn't say anything he just watched as Henry rushed over to the kitchen.

"Can we have a Birthday party for them Mom? Pleeeeeease" he begged

Swan looked up at the boy and cupped his face with her hand "Maybe we should wait until Killian is feeling a bit better before we plan any parties"

Henry looked so disappointed that Killian couldn't refuse him, he had an idea "How about to show that we are very much different people we have a party to celebrate Junior's day of Birth on one day then on a different day, maybe in a few weeks time we have a small gathering for mine although I think you may need to start stocking up on candles now if we are to have a cake on that occasion"

"AWESOME" Henry yelled pumping his hand into the air

"That, Pirate. Sounds like a very good idea" Emma said throwing him a wink just as Regina came back into the pool house grinning widely

"What sounds like a good idea?" she asked quirking her brow

"We're planning Birthday Parties for Junior and Killian" Henry said rushing up to her "Can you believe that they don't know when their Birthday is?!"

Regina looked at him with a look of understanding before looking back to Henry and crying out in mock disbelief "What? Now that's just crazy"

Killian chuckled as Henry came up onto the bed to sit cross legged and Junior dropped down next to him breathing heavily from all his jumping.

"So when do you want your Birthday to be?" the Lad asked in excitement

"I do not mind Henry. Why don't you pick... for the both of us"

"Really?" he asked in surprise looking at both of them "You wouldn't mind"

"Junior?" Killian asked turning to the younger Lad

"I would be honored if you chose for me" Junior replied with a very serious face looking straight at Henry "You seem to hold these Birthday's in the highest regard so I am happy for you to chose what day is best"

"Thanks guys, this means a lot. I'll make them the best days EVER " Henry replied looking quite teary eyed but then he was off, scrambling from the bed followed by Junior and heading back to the kitchen where Killian could see him talking excitedly to the others of his plans.

"You just made his day" Regina said drawing his attention back to her "Here, this can be an early Birthday gift"

"What is it?" he asked bringing his hand up to take what looked like a large bit of white quartz from her hand

"It's an alarm system of sorts, I had forgotten I had it until earlier" she said sitting down on the edge of his bed and taking it back to sit it on the dresser "I used to use it to let me know if my Mother was listening at my bedroom door when I had... well, you know if Daniel and I were..."

"I get it Love" Killian laughed, "We were all young once but I still don't understand how it works"

"Well I just added a bit of..." she trailed off looking towards the kitchen to make sure that the Lads were distracted before turning back to him and hissing "Devin's blood. I saved some from when he attacked you and Henry at the loft. You never know when these things will come in handy and I was right. You see now if he tries to come anywhere near this house this thing will light up brighter than the sun. So now not only can he not get in here he can't hang about outside either and believe me when I say that if he tries it, well this time I will not be letting him off so lightly. No more comfortable jail cell for that Lost one... he comes near MY family again and I will be putting him in a pine box"

"So dramatic" Killian said raising an eyebrow "But I appreciate it, thank you"

"Yes well that boy needs taught a lesson or two"

The words caught Killian by surprise and his heart suddenly lurched as Devin's voice burst into his head.

"Captain needs taught a lesson boys"

He clamped his eye shut and pulled in some deep breaths trying to stop the attack before it got a chance to start but he could feel it building as the voices became stronger. He felt the bed dip beside him then small hands on his face... it was like a soothing balm and within seconds he was breathing easily again and as the room came back into focus he could hear Junior singing to him.

"S-s-sorry" he stammered out looking up at Regina's horrified face once the boy stopped and he could breathe once more.

"No I'm sorry, I thought I was helping" She cried back in dismay

He turned his head to see Junior and Emma sitting on the bed next to him. The boy looked quite pale, the attack had obviously effected him too but he had managed to stay focused through it knowing what to do to end it "Thank you Lad"

"We are alright now" he said looking up to Regina "Don't worry Gina"

"I... I don't understand. What did I do?" she asked sitting back down, she must have jumped up when his attack had started

Killian sighed and closed his eyes "On that first night... back in that clearing Devin riled the other Lost Ones up against me. He said that I needed taught a lesson. I... when you said... before, you said..." he trailed off as his heart rate picked up a little again.

Regina looked horrified then she gave a growl "If I ever get my hands on that little... ugh... I will make him pay. I swear I will, he will wish he had never been born when I'm done with him"

"Uh Regina" Emma suddenly said pulling a frightened looking Junior into her front when a fireball suddenly appeared in Regina's outstretched hand

"Oh my God" she cried extinguishing it quickly "I'm so sorry Junior, I would never hurt you honey, I guess my magic is getting a bit stronger"

Killian watched as the lad peeked out from behind Swan's arms and gave her a little smile "I know Gina, the fire is only for the bad boys."

Regina sagged in relief before holding her hand out to him "Come on Kid, you want to help me with these cookies?"

Junior nodded vigorously as he clawed his way from Emma's arms to scramble off the bed taking hold of Regina's hand to take the final leap onto the floor. Killian sighed, the Lad was obviously already over his effects from the attack and Killian wished that it was that easy for him. He still felt a bit shaky but when Emma lay down next to him he pulled her into his side dropping a kiss onto the crown of her head.

"So much for the more focused me" he mumbled

"Hey, don't be so hard on yourself." she replied turning to look up at him "It will take time Hook"

"Aye Love" he sighed then gave her a smile "And we have all the time in the world"

"Unless another monster appears and kills us, right?" she giggled

He gave a hearty laugh bringing his hand up to his ribs to hold them tightly as they both laughed at her use of his own words but they soon settled into a comfortable silence and Killian found himself watching the goings on in the kitchen briefly, Henry and Junior looked like they were having fun as they rolled out the cookie mix.

David and Mary-Margaret had dropped down on the couch with the young Prince sitting between them, he must have woken from his nap in the other room and both parents were making faces at the boy as he giggled. Killian smiled, he felt happy... yes he was fully aware of the large bandage still taped to his head that was currently hiding his disastrous hair cut and the fact that he had nearly just had another panic attack but things could be worse.

"I need to start on dinner" Mary-Margaret suddenly said getting up "otherwise it's going to end up being another late one"

Killian expected David to stay where he was to keep the young lad entertained but he too got to his feet, instead of heading to the kitchen he came across to the bed and dropped Neal down to let him crawl over to Emma.

"Here, you can keep him amused, I'm gonna help Mom."

Emma turned onto her back and pulled her Brother up so that he was sitting on her stomach where he gave her a toothy grin as he babbled. Killian slowly shifted himself over so that he was lying on his left hand side so that he could see better and brought his hand over giving the lad a tickle under his arm. Neal squealed in delight and giggled furiously.

"Baelfire would be proud" Killian said talking to Emma but directing it at the baby in a silly voice

"Yeah he would" she said turning to look at him "He would be proud of you too Hook. You always put Henry first, that's all a Father could ask for once he's gone"

"That is all any descent Father could ask for when he is gone" Killian said with a sigh "Baelfire was a good man Swan, he messed up along the way but he was trying to do what he thought was right. My Father abandoned us to save his own hide. He didn't try and find us, he just moved on and made a new life... with a new family"

"What? You know where he went?" she asked raising an eyebrow

"Aye" and suddenly tears were in his eyes again and that damned lump in his throat was back. He hadn't talked to anyone about this but he knew now was the time, Emma deserved to know the truth "I killed him Swan, I killed my Father. I found him many years after he left us and he told me a story that I believed... I was going to help him, I had even got him safe passage away from the danger that he was now in but he had lied to me yet again."

Killian pulled in a deep breath and tried to hold it but his chest was protesting the sobs that he was trying to withhold "He had another Son... and he named him Liam... Damn it Emma, he just replaced us. How could he do that?"

The tears were suddenly gushing down his face. Emma brought the young Prince down to lie between them and turned to face him "Because he was selfish Killian but you know what? He is the one that missed out. You are nothing like him. You have taken on TWO boys and you love them to the point that you would die for them. You would NEVER abandon them and that makes you the better man"

"I killed him Swan... I killed my Father" he howled as the grief finally hit him.

Emma lent over and pulled his head to rest on her shoulder trying to give him comfort but in the next second he was trying to break free when his heart started thumping in his chest. He knew in an instant that it was not his heart but Junior's and when he looked down it was to see the lad standing at the bottom of the bed with his mouth open and tears streaming down his own face.

"You killed Father?!" he cried out "YOU KILLLED OUR FATHER"

Junior turned and ran, he ran straight out the door and down the steps disappearing from view.

"JUNIOR" Killian called trying to pull himself from the bed but he couldn't do it as his pain spiked making him gasp in agony but he just kept on trying, he had to get to the boy.

He felt Swan pulling him back down then David was there too pushing him down "I'll get him Hook just stay there, you're gonna hurt yourself"

"I need to explain" he gasped out gripping his hand to his head "Gods David, he is so confused"

"I'll be right back" David said locking eyes with him "Trust me"

Killian gave a jerky nod letting himself fall back onto the pillows as Mary-Margaret took the baby from the bed. Emma gave him a reassuring smile but he shook his head wildly at her.

"Swan go, I need you to help" he gasped "That boy can hide, he has spent his life doing so. If you don't get him quickly it will be nearly impossible to find him unless he wants to be found. PLEASE just go"

She nodded her head before dropping a kiss onto his cheek "I promise I won't come back without him"

"I'll go too" Mary-Margaret called "You might need a tracker"

"And me" Henry shouted "And I'm not taking no for an answer. He's my Brother"

Swan didn't argue she just nodded and took hold of his hand as they all ran out the door leaving Killian alone with Regina and the baby... he just hoped that they would all be back soon.

He could feel Junior's panic as his heart thumped in his chest, he tried to send his feelings the other way, the regret, the pain, the sorrow... all the things that he had felt since that day.

He had killed his Father... that was on him and no one else. How could he make the boy understand when he didn't understand it himself?

He gave a physical jump, the overwhelming feeling was fear now... what was the lad doing? Where was he?

"Talk to me Pirate, what's going on?" Regina said sitting down on the edge of the bed

He frowned closing his eyes taking in another gasping breath "I don't... I don't know. He is terrified, he doesn't know what is going on"

A sudden image of a car and the sound of a honking horn flew into his mind and he lurched forward panting harshly "He's on Main Street Regina, he nearly got hit by one of those damned car things"

Regina pulled out her cell and dialed quickly but he wasn't listening to her, he was trying to focus his mind, trying to figure out where Junior was and when a wave of calm washed through him a few minutes later he knew, that calmness came from one place only.

"He's on the Jolly" he croaked opening his eye to look at Regina who was watching him with some concern "he has gone where he feels safe. A ship is all he has ever known... he has run home"

Killian flopped back into the covers breathing heavily, now that the boy was calm his body was protesting his movements and the pain pulsed its way around his entire being but the worst part was his head. The pain was almost unbearable as he lay there but there was nothing he could do about it other than try to breathe his way through it. He could hear Regina talking to someone but she was fading fast and the last thing he heard before the darkness took him was her calling out his name in concern.

"Hook?! Killian... God damnit Guyliner, don't do this to me now... Killian..."

Then there was silence.
