There's always a chance! Captain Swan fanfiction

The day before the surprise....

Emma's pov

I was wondering what the surprise was. I only had to wait until tomorrow. I went down to the Jolly Roger to find a pirate, freaking out. He saw me and calmed down. Hold on. How late am I? Weird. I'm early, it's probably nothing, I'll ignore that. As usual we had breakfast, when I was about to leave I was presented a gift basket with a note, I'd read it at home. I went home and emptied the gift basket. Chocolates and a very large bear. My mother walked in and I asked her about this.

"Oh, Emma. You've got a secret admirer. There should be a note to tell you!" Snow squealed with delight as Emma fumbled with the note. It read: ~Hi, Swan. I hope you like it.~ 

I immediately knew who had given this to me. I handed the note to Snow to read and she seemed happier than me. I just went and stared at everything for a while.

Hook's pov

I hope she got the note. I made it very obvious. I walked around the room thinking of my plan and then I had an idea. I went down to find her good friend, Belle. "Hey! I need your help on something!" I screamed.

"And why should I help you? You tried to kill me, twice! Twice! Not just once! TWICE!" she shouted back. I whispered my plan into her ear. "OH! Ok. Yes, I can help you then! Sorry for screaming at you," she told me.

"Thank you," I told her. That day we spent the entire time looking through shops and stores. When we came back to my ship, we had a dozen bags full. She even helped me blow balloons ,hang up decorations and when it was finished, my ship looked nothing like it did before. I thanked her again for her help and she left.

The next day.....

Nobody's pov

Today was the day, everything was set up ready and Emma went downstairs. "Sooooo...what's the surprise?"Emma asked.

"That's later on...you just have to wait a little longer," Snow replied.

"I wish you'd wait 'til I was dead...."murmured David.

"Huh? Why?" she asked.

"Don't worry about it. Just carry on with your day!" chirped Snow.

Emma went to the docks for breakfast as usual, when she got on the Jolly Roger, Smee was scrubbing the deck and it was really well done. It was shining and she could even see her face in it. She walked down the ladder, everything was clean and neat. Hook walked out his cabin and invited her in. Food was already on the table and white and gold decorations were strung here and there, balloons scattered everywhere. "Is there a birthday party here I'm missing?" Emma asked as a joke.

"No, something even better! Hopefully..." the 'hopefully' wasn't even heard. He sat down and ate in silence as Emma talked. He wasn't really listening though. Instead he was worrying. When they finished Emma stood up to leave.

"I have to go now, my parents have said a surprise was planned today! I wouldn't want to miss it!" she said cheerfully and headed for the door. That was his queue. "Also, thanks for the gift!" she smiled. 

"Your surprise! Yes! I know! It's here!" he informed her.

"Really?!"

"Yes, of course, love!" he replied. He quickly went into a room and came out, hands behind his back.

"Emma.." he said slowly.

Emma's pov

Emma? He never called me by my first name. It was always my last name or a nickname. I started to panic but soon calmed down. He looked me deep in the eyes. I tried to look away, it was really uncomfortable and awkward. He smiled when I looked at him but it soon faded away as I turned my head around. He took me by the hands, it was really weird and then I looked at him. He smiled and said five words that changed my life. He dropped something. A bouquet of assorted flowers.

"Oh...anyway! What's the surprise?" I asked hoping to change the subject and really hoping this wasn't it.

"Sorry to disappoint you, this is the surprise.." he answered heartbroken. 

"Umm...can I have time just to process that. Can you just give me a week. Thank you!" I told him running out of there.

The next day...

I refused to go back for breakfast. My parents asked what happened and I told them everything. They for once, just let me be. They told me, "There's always a chance".

I saw him at Granny's his blue eyes now black. I didn't even know that could happen. I just felt so bad. I went to talk to him.

"Hey!" I tried to brighten his mood. No reply... I left with my food, went up to my room and cried for a whole hour. I wasn't disturb, not even once. But there's always a chance so I stopped crying and thought about what I would say next week.

Hook's pov

She saw me at Granny's, I was eating her favourite; grilled cheese and onion rings. I have to admit, that's a pretty sad thing to do. She tried to cheer me up, it brought too many memories, I was depressed now. She took her food, turned her back to me and left. I watched her leave and noticed she stopped outside to peer in another time. I don't think she saw me but I saw her, her makeup was ruined and her cheeks were stained with tears. I felt bad and I knew she did too. I couldn't cry, not a single tear. I paid Regina handsomely after Emma left my ship that day. I told her 'I want you to find a spell, that will temporarily stop me shedding any tears' she did. My eyes will be black for the time being, it should only last until Swan gives me a real answer, then I'd have to pay more if she turned me down. Again....

Next week...

I waited on my ship for her. She should've finished eating and be on her way now. She was finally here. "So..." I started waiting for her to say something.

Emma's pov

I quickly finished breakfast, put on my clothes and went through with the usual morning routine. I went to the Jolly Roger to give my answer. I saw him on the deck waiting, his eyes were blue again. That's a good sign. I found him and met his eyes. "So..." he started awaiting my response.
