Ch39 - Murder Most Foul

After speaking to August, I left; making my way back to my place, I took the steps one at a time. Tensing when I heard muffled conversation coming from inside, I opened the door slowly; only to be greeted by my dad, Regina, Henry and Killian.

I spoke.

"What's going on?"

My dad answered.

"We're celebrating"

Celebrating? I spoke again.

"What exactly, are we celebrating?"

Henry spoke this time.

"You mom"

My dad handed me a glass, I smiled; before thanking him, my gaze drifted to Killian. He smiled at me, and my heart stopped; god, did I miss that smile.

I smiled again, as my dad lifted a glass; off the table, before speaking.

"I wanna say something...Emma I am so proud of you, for what you did tonight" I smiled, as he sighed; before continuing. "Defeating Gideon, reminds us; that, with a little bit of hope, nothing can tear this family apart"

I smiled again, before signing internally; my mom should be here with us, she shouldn't be under some sleeping curse.

My attention was drawn back, as my dad raised his glass; he spoke.

"I'd like to make a toast...to family"

We all spoke.

"To family"

I laughed softly, as the relief of being home; sunk in, as I watched everyone, I looked at my dad. I cleared my throat, before speaking.

"Thanks dad, it's good to be home"

I kept my gaze on his, and I noticed that his smile; didn't reach his eyes, that's when my heart clenched, he was missing the same person I was...mom.

I continued.

"Are you ok?"

He answered.

"I wish the entire family, was here"

I spoke again.

"I know, we're gonna break this curse; I got my future back and now you and mom will too"

He nodded, before answering.

"Right, of course"

I felt someone looking at me, I turned; smiling, when I realised it was Killian, I looked at him while smiling again.

Regina cleared her throat, I looked at her; she smiled softly, while placing her arm around Henry, she spoke.

"I'm sorry, but I need to get home to Robin; I'm going to help him acclimate to our world, is it alright if Henry stays here tonight?"

I nodded, before thanking her for saving me again; she smiled, hugging Henry before she left. Henry moved towards me, hugging me as he did; he spoke.

"I'm glad you're home, mom"

I smiled, before answering.

"Me too kid"

He smiled, before speaking again.

"I have some homework, so I'm gonna call it a night"

He spoke to my dad and Killian, as he passed them; they patted him on the shoulder, my dad ruffled his hair, before he went upstairs.

I grinned, before moving to stand beside my dad. I huffed out a laugh, as my dad pulled me into a hug; he placed his hand, on the back of my head.

I smiled again, while leaning into it; I peered up at Killian, smiling softly. I heard my dad sigh, before he pulled away; he spoke.

"I'll see you both in the morning"

I nodded, before thanking him again; he smiled, before leaving. I watched, as he headed out the door; before turning back to face Killian again.

I sighed, before speaking.

"So?..."

He nodded, before answering.

"I believe you mentioned something about telling me, what happened to us in that other realm"

I sighed, before speaking again.

"Right, maybe we should sit down and get comfortable"

He nodded again, before leading me to the couch; I sat down, and waited for him to join me. I took a breath, before speaking.

"So I guess, I should tell you who I was; in the other realm"

He answered.

"That would, be a good place to start love"

I nodded, before telling him everything.

"I was a Princess"

He quirked an eyebrow, before speaking.

"I hate to break it to, you love; but you are a Princess"

I sighed, before explaining.

"I know, but this was slightly different; I was a Princess, because the curse that sent me to this world never happened"

He nodded, before encouraging me to continue.

"My parents...well that realms version of my parents, they defeated the Evil Queen; and when Regina showed up, my dad...no, Princess Emma's dad, immediately went into action. And when she was finally able to convince me, that's when the spell was broken, and I remembered everything"

He nodded, before speaking.

"So how did you come across Robin?"

I sighed, before answering.

"Well, while I was still Princess Emma; Regina sought out Rumplestiltskin, who gave us a bean to get home, but before we could jump into the portal, Robin stopped us"

He interrupted me.

"I'm sorry love, if Robin stopped you from jumping into the portal, how did you get home?"

I smiled, before speaking again.

"I'm getting there...So after Robin stopped us, I remembered there was someone who could help us, and since we were in the Enchanted Forest, I knew August would be there too. So Regina and I tracked him down, and at first he wasn't too happy about helping the Evil Queen; but he eventually agreed, so he and I went to an enchanted grove, to find a tree to create a wardrobe..."

He spoke again.

"A wardrobe?"

I nodded, before answering.

"Yeah, just like the one that sent me here when I was a baby" He nodded, and I smiled softly; when it dawned on him. I continued. "So, he got to work; and he and I talked, he asked me what being a saviour meant, it was strange talking to him...it was almost like having my friend back, even though I knew he wasn't real, and then we were interrupted, when a scoundrel showed up"

He quirked an eyebrow again, before tilting his head; he then spoke.

"I think you mean dashing rapscallion, darling"

I laughed, before answering.

"Nope, he was definitely a scoundrel"

He looked at me, before he laughed; he spoke again.

"So tell me, what was I like?"

I took a breath, before answering.

"Well as I said earlier, your hair was grey; it was a little longer, than it is now. You had to flip it out of your eyes, when you challenged August to a duel. You still liked rum..."

He interrupted me again.

"Nothing, wrong with that love"

I laughed, before continuing.

"Let me finish...you also enjoyed dessert; you had the cutest pot belly, you tried to rescue me, but I kept trying to tell you, I didn't need to be rescued...and you also called me, by the wrong name"

He looked at me, before speaking.

"What, do you mean; I called you by the wrong name?"

I sighed, before speaking.

"You called me Enya"

He looked at me, before answering.

"My sincerest apologies love, I..."

I interrupted him, this time.

"Killian, you have nothing to apologise for; if anyone should be apologising, it's the Evil Queen. She's the one, that created that world; she sent me there, because she thought that's what I wanted...but she's wrong, the life I want is here, with you"

He nodded, before leaning in; he placed his hand on my cheek, he spoke softly.

"I'm glad to hear that love, but promise me something"

I nodded, before answering.

"Anything"

He spoke again.

"Promise me, that you'll tell me what to do; or where to look for you, if another genie appears"

I nodded, before whispering. "I promise" I then leaned in, placing my lips on his; in a soft, reaffirming kiss...
