This chapter is for tomorrow, since I will be unable to post tomorrow. Thanks for the wonderful reviews! I will post a couple chapters as soon as I am able! Enjoy a little bit of Daddy Killian in this flashback the morning following Colette discovering her magic! It's Kendra and Liam's eighth birthday!

CHAPTER SIXTEEN-The Enchanted Forest, On the docks, About eight years into the future

"Are you really going to teach Colette and I how to sail The Jolly Roger and we get to spend the night out on the open sea?" Kendra skipped alongside her father.

"Isn't that what you wanted for your eighth birthday, my little swan?" Killian swept his daughter into his arms.

"Aye, but won't Liam be left out? It is his birthday too!" Kendra giggled.

"You know your brother doesn't like sailing, and besides, your grandfather is taking him and Neal out on a camping adventure of their own, on dry land, where he feels more comfortable," Killian told her.

"There's Aunt Belle and mother! I wonder where Colette is." Kendra looked around the head of the dock for her best friend.

Belle was clearly upset, and Emma was doing her best to comfort her.

"Kendra, love, why don't you go board the ship? Mr. Smee will make sure you can get up the gangplank just fine." Killian placed Kendra down, and she took off for the ship. "What happened?"

"Killian, that storm yesterday, that was Colette," Emma said quietly.

"What?" Killian looked at Belle, who nodded.

"She got upset last night and her hands started glowing. Next thing I know the storm started. I yelled for her father's help, he has her right now. He said she was developing magic and that he could get it under control. I didn't know what else to do. She doesn't even know that he is her father. Emma is going to come with me. I have to stay at the Dark One's Castle temporarily while she is there. I didn't want to disappoint Kendra, but I don't see any other option right now," Belle choked back tears.

"I'm sure Kendra will understand. Just be careful around the bloody Crocodile. He may say he's changed, but we all know how that turned out last time." Killian clenched his jaw. He did not want Emma anywhere near him, but he knew Belle needed someone with her right now.

"Also, Killian, Rumple said to keep an eye on your two. They have quite a large chance to develop magic of their own in the coming years," Belle said.

"Aye, Emma and I have talked about that possibility before," Killian sighed. One thing was for sure: if one or both of his children did end up having powers he would definitely not send his son or daughter to the Crocodile for magic lessons. If Emma did just fine without them, so would their child.

"Go, take Kendra on her birthday trip. I'll be just fine." Emma kissed Killian before she and Belle started heading back towards the castle to get ready to leave for the Dark One's castle.

"Give Colette my best, love!" Killian yelled as he turned towards The Jolly Roger. He smiled when he saw Kendra sizing up the crew, trying to stake her claim on her position on the ship. Most of the men seemed to be playing along with the eight year old.

Kendra beamed at her father when she saw him board the ship. "Daddy, the crew says I've got the makings of a pirate captain!"

"Slow down, love! You can't be a pirate without one of these first." Killian reached behind a crate, pulling out a beautiful, handcrafted cutlass.

Kendra squealed and took the sword from her father. She carefully took it out of its sheath, tracing her hand along the engraving, My Little Swan. The silver handle itself was in the shape of a swan, with pearls and aquamarine gemstones gracing its form. "I finally get a sword of my own! It's much better than the ones we have at the castle that you've been training me with!" Kendra started walking towards the crew sword at the ready. "Who's going first?"

"Kendra Swan Jones! Let us at least get out to sea before you start cutting down my crew." Killian smirked. "Do you want to help hoist the sails?"

"Where's Colette? She was supposed to be coming." Kendra pouted, giving her father big puppy-dog eyes.

"Colette…couldn't make it. You can see her when we get back." Killian promised, hoping that she actually would be there when they returned.

"Oh, okay. Where are we going to sail to?" Kendra asked, pushing back her disappointment.

"Well, your grandfather has some business in Arendelle that he wants me to attend to, which about a half month round trip. Is that okay with you?" Killian knew that a longer trip would be better and he hadn't been to Arendelle since everyone had been back in Storybrooke. David had needed someone to reestablish trade with Queen Elsa, and now seemed like a good time to do so. Kendra needed to learn trade business, since that is what she would most likely be dealing with when she became a captain of her own ship.

"I've never met anyone from Arendelle! Let's hoist anchor and set sail! To Arendelle!" Kendra pointed her new blade out towards the open sea.

"You heard the captain!" Killian chuckled. "Drop the sails! We are headed to Arendelle!"
