Emma stood grinning to herself as she pushed the door open a fraction and popped Pink Bear's head through the gap.
She spoke in a silly voice and said "Hey there, Is Junior Jones is this room?"
"AYE... Hello Pink Bear, I am Junior" she heard him cry out in reply
But when she pushed the door open and stepped inside he wasn't on the bed where she expected him to be, he was standing in the middle of the floor leaning heavily on a set of tiny crutches with a nurse kneeling next to him. Emma's heart skipped at the sight of him but his grinning face was enough to remind her that he was fine, or he would be.
"Guess who wanted to come and see you?" she grinned crouching down next to him "and look at you! I think this is our first P.B. photo, what do you say?"
He nodded his head and immediately started trying to turn around. Emma had to hold back a laugh when his little tongue poked out in concentration but in seconds he was standing holding out his arms for the bear with his crutches tucked under his arms.
"Come on P.B." he said to the Bear when Emma handed him over "You need to smile for Momma now, we need a good photo picture for Papa"
Emma grinned and looked up at her Mom and Henry who were sitting by the bed before taking out her cell. The nurse shuffled backwards so that she wasn't in the photo and Emma snapped off a couple of shots before declaring that it was done.
"May I see Momma?" Junior cried out excitedly
"Sure kid" she replied going over to him but when she showed him the photo the smile slid from his face and she was suddenly concerned "What's wrong Junior?"
His little fingers came up the the small screen and ran over where his face was, he looked up and met her eyes "The bad boy did that, he hurt me. He was hurting Papa too and I just wanted to make him stop"
"Hey, it's alright. He can't hurt anyone anymore" Emma found herself putting her cell on the floor and pulling him into her arms.
The crutches clattered to the floor but she didn't care, Junior needed a hug more right now. She felt him snuggle into her neck along with Pink Bear and give a heavy sigh before he mumbled "I missed you when you were gone Momma"
"I missed you too Kid but I came back" she sat back and held him in front of herself letting him sit on her knee as she crouched there "And I brought P.B., he was getting lonely in that dark cupboard all by himself."
Junior smiled at the bear then declared "Well he doesn't have to be lonely anymore, he is going to have a better life, he is going to have adventures beyond his wildest dreams but most off all he will have a family"
"Yeah he will" Henry suddenly said coming down next to them both "He can even have his own bunk in our room"
"Truly?" Junior asked in awe and when Henry nodded Junior added "Thank you Brother, P.B. appreciates that"
The Nurse gave a little laugh "OK Junior I think we should maybe get this finished then you and P.B. can have a rest, what do you say?"
He gave a nod of his head and held out the Bear to Emma "Can you keep him company Momma?" then he looked to P.B. and spoke again "I will just be a few minutes. I need to do this then we will be together again, OK Kid?"
Emma grinned up at her Mom again who was smiling widely too, Junior was just too cute for words. She got up and made her way over the the empty chair next to her Mom but Henry stayed by Junior's side giving him words of encouragement as he hobbled back and forth across the room. In less than ten minutes he had mastered the crutches and was moving around with ease.
"I am going to use the facilities" he suddenly cried out taking off across the floor
Henry went after him and chuckled "I'll make sure he doesn't break anything... on himself or in there"
The Nurse smiled widely and turned to Emma before heading to the door "That's one determined Kid you've got there, he's gonna be just fine. I can recommend to Dr. Whale that he can go home tomorrow"
"Thank you" Emma burst out grinning from ear to ear
"Hey, I didn't do anything, he's the one doing all the hard work" the Nurse replied with a shrug "Your kids are so sweet, you're one lucky woman"
"Thanks" Emma replied seriously and then the nurse was gone, ducking out of the room with a smile on her face.
Emma could hear much hilarity coming from in the bathroom as Junior gave a squeal over something, she just shook her head and laughed glad that he was happy.
"How did you get on with Belle?" Mary-Margaret suddenly asked in a whisper
"We found him" Emma replied with a frown as she sat back on her seat still looking towards the bathroom door but she suddenly turned "Believe it or not he was actually trying to help"
Mary-Margaret's eyebrows just raised but she didn't say anything so Emma went on to explain what she had seen on the wall in the clock tower but they were interrupted when Junior came back into the room and hobbled his way over.
"May I go back in my bed please Momma?" he asked in a small voice as he looked up at her "I am quite tired"
"Sure kid" she replied quickly shoving P.B. into her Mom's hands and scooping Junior up into her arms.
Again the crutches clattered to the floor but she just stepped over them and settled Junior in his bed before turning around and taking P.B. back from her Mom and snuggling him into the Kid's side.
"You OK?" she asked rubbing her fingers down his face
He gave a nod pulling P.B. in tighter with a little frown on his face "My leg just pains me somewhat"
"I know but it will be better before you know it" she replied with a smile "Why don't you and Henry read P.B. a story
Junior grinned "He would like that, he has never had a story before"
"Really?" Emma asked in mock shock "Well, I think it's time you guys fixed that, don't you?"
Henry grinned too as he climbed up onto the bed and lay down next to Junior clutching onto The BFG, he let Junior snuggle into his side before he opened the book and started to read. Emma's chest puffed with pride, she had the best kids in the world right here. She quickly pulled out her cell and snapped off another couple of photos, P.B.'s first story was not something to be missed, this was a milestone in any "kids" Bearhood.

Killian woke feeling slightly strange, his head was quite muddled and his limbs felt heavy, like they often did after an attack.
What the bloody hell had happened?
Then he remembered... David had brewed the tea!
He squinted into the dim light to see the man in question lying in his bed quite obviously asleep, what time was it?
He gave a frown and craned his neck to look at the cave entrance, it couldn't be that late, he could see daylight coming from outside. Maybe the Prince was just tired, it had to be hard on David looking after him like this.
Killian lay for a few minutes just looking around the room until he realized that he needed to pee, he looked back to David but suddenly he was unwilling to wake him, he could surely do this by himself so with gritted teeth he managed to pull himself up and turn on the bed so his feet were on the ground. He gripped onto his left arm to stop it moving about too much while he sat letting his ribs and hip settle. He also realized quite quickly that he was still missing his pajama pants but he knew that putting them back on was beyond him so with a sigh he looked about for the pot that David had used over the last couple of days to find it over by the door... already full.
Killian growled deep in his throat... his eyes danced back to David but again he refused to wake the man, he would just need to shuffle his way to the cave entrance. He felt a lot better and figured that as long as he took his time he would be fine so he shuffled himself forwards but just as he was readying himself to pull himself upright he pulled in a deep breath and it caught in his throat. He was suddenly caught up in a coughing fit and his ribs were on fire but it passed quickly and he was happy to find that his rib pain settled quickly too.
"Gods" he whispered giving a little cough to try and clear his throat, now he needed a drink.
There was a cup on the dresser and Killian reached out to tip it slightly to see if there was anything inside. He could feel that there was something in the bottom so took hold of the edge of the cup to bring it closer. Once he got a better grip he lifted it quickly taking a huge mouthful, he swallowed half of it down before suddenly realizing his mistake and spitting the rest out on a wide spray... it was the brewed tea, why had that been left by the bed?!
He was suddenly panicking that he had taken too much again remembering all too well how quickly he had succumbed to it's effects when David had given it to him earlier. His heart pounded in his chest and he wasn't sure if it was just from his worry or if it was from the tea but after a few minutes he found that he no longer cared as his worry faded away.
He looked around again and suddenly thought it would be a very good idea to put his pajama pants back on, it couldn't be that hard surely. They were on the back of the chair just in front of him and he managed to reach forward to grab them only being distracted briefly by his huge looking hand. He grinned widely to himself as he brought the pants back over laying them on his legs and smoothing them out a bit before trying to put them on.
He managed to get his feet in without too much issue but when it came to pulling them up he ended up sliding off the bed to land on his ass with a thump. He gave a giggle bringing his hand up to cover his mouth and shushing himself, he didn't want to wake David after all.
He sat for a few seconds just giggling as he looked across at David who was still sleeping before remembering he still had to pee and that his pajamas were still around his ankles.
"OK Pirate... get yourself together man" he hissed to himself as he managed to twist around and claw his way up onto his knees only to fall face first into his bedding, he laughed at his own clumsiness and muttered with a huge grin on his face "Ow"
He could feel his ribs pulsing and the pain in his shoulder but it didn't seem to concern him anymore, it wasn't really pain... he was tough, he would survive, he'd had worse. Killian found himself breathing deeply against the mattress as he lay there with his knees still on the ground suddenly not really sure why he had wanted to move in the first place... this was quite comfortable.
"I needed to pee" he suddenly burst out loudly before clamping his hand over his mouth again.
He kept it there for a few seconds before pulling it back slightly and trying to shush himself again but his eyes fell on his hand once more and he was suddenly entranced by his unusually large digits. He frowned and pulled it back a bit trying to focus his mind, why were they so big?
"HOOK!" David's voice suddenly sounded out in the room and Killian clamped his eyes closed and brought his hand up to cover his head.
"Just lie still... he won't find you" Killian giggled to himself suddenly reaching out to try and bring the blanket up over his head. He grinned to himself again as he managed his task, David would surely never see him now.

David peeked open his eyes and squinted a bit, what was that noise? He turned his head suddenly thinking that Hook was maybe puking again but the sight that met him was not what he was expecting.
Hook's bare ass was hanging over the side of the bed while the Pirate seemed to be waving his hand about in front of his face as he lay across the mattress.
"HOOK!" David yelled out jumping to his feet and rushing straight over
"Just lie still... he won't find you" Hook giggled pulling the blankets up over his head and suddenly David's panic was gone.
He put his hands on his hips and shook his head before pulling back the blankets to reveal Hook grinning like a fool
"Hook are you high?"
"NoPe" Hook replied popping his P before turning his head slightly and peeking open an eye "I am most definitely low... so low in fact that I can see right up your nostrils"
Hook was giggling again and David found himself grinning too "If this is what Neverberry tea does I think we should maybe lay off of it for a while"
"Nooooooooo" Hook drawled back suddenly trying to move "It's good stuff, you should have some... although I think I spat the last of it all over the floor when I realized what it was I was drinking... I may have had slightly too much"
"You don't say" David chuckled back but then he looked to the dresser and inwardly cursed himself when he realized that he'd left the cup with the brewed tea there before his meltdown, that had been stupid. He was just lucky that Hook hadn't drank all of it and passed out again... he had been sleeping, Hook could have stopped breathing and he wouldn't have known!
David felt slightly sick at that thought.
He looked back to Hook who was grinning again but then the Pirate gave a slight frown and dropped back onto the mattress and mumbled
"David"
"What?" David asked stepping forward to try and help sort Hook out
"I need to pee" but then his frown disappeared and he was grinning again "Can you give me a hand... get it... a hand... because I only have one... that makes it funny"
"Hilarious" David chuckled back as his worry lifted a bit, Hook was fine "Come on, let's get you up then you idiot"
He bent down and quickly pulled the pajama pants up before taking hold of Hook under his arms and pulling him upright. The Pirate gulped in a few breaths, he suddenly looked quite green around the gills and let out a long groan.
"Why is the room spinning David, can you make it stop? I don't like it"
David just shook his head and sighed before practically hauling Hook back up and tossing him back onto his pillows.
"OW" Hook mumbled clamping his eyes closed and David felt a bit guilty when he saw the Pirate's hand make it's way up to his ribs but within seconds he was grinning again as he suddenly started to sing.
"SHOW ME THE WAY TO GO HOME
I'M TIRED AND I WANT TO GO TO BED
I HAD A LITTLE DRINK ABOUT AN HOUR AGO
AND IT'S GONE STRAIGHT RIGHT TO ME HEAD..."
"Yeah it has" David muttered stopping Hook's singing but bringing back his grin.
David rolled his eyes and turned to fetch the pot so Hook could pee only to find that it was still full, unwilling to leave the idiot alone he just grabbed another one and headed back over to the bed to find that Hook had dozed off... David was very tempted to leave him but the thought of sorting out a wet bed in the near future was one step too far.
"Hook, wake up" he said sitting down on the edge of the bed.
Hook squinted up at him and gave a huge sigh "I need to pee"
"I got that" David chuckled before just getting on with it.
A few minutes later he had deposited the pot next to the first one then tucked Hook back into the bed. A smirk came to his lips as he stood watching the Pirate examining his hand... he held it above his head for a few seconds studying it carefully but before too long he just let it fall letting it clatter onto his face eliciting another "OW". David chuckled and was just about to tell Hook to go to sleep when he spoke.
"David?"
"Yeah"
"I love you" and that damned grin was back and he was giggling again obviously looking for a playful fight.
Without missing a beat David fired back "I know"
Hook's giggles ended instantaneously and his mouth snapped shut but David just lent forward and straightened out his blankets and whispered "I guess that makes you the Princess tonight... now go to sleep before you embarrass yourself any further"
