Everything isn't the same

Chapter 5 - The Apprentice

Caitlynn had decided to help her parents with Elsa, she had realized that Elsa really didn't harm to them all and had brought her daughter with her as well as Gold was busy in his shop. Aubrey was playing with her dolls by her grandparents as Caitlynn sat by the table with her mother and Elsa, waiting for more books.

"Census records from the first and second curses." Mary Margaret explained to Elsa, holding Neal in her arms. "If Anna's ever in Storybrooke, we'll find some trace of her here."

"Your curses are very thorough." Elsa comment as Caitlynn rolled with her eyes.

"That's just A through E." Mary Margaret told her.

Just them, David walked with more books in his hands. "Here are the rest of them."

Then Emma walked into the room as well, with a pretty dress on. "Okay. I want honest opinions. What do we think?"

"Aunty, Emma looks pretty." Aubrey told her aunt.

"What my daughter said." Caitlynn comment, even though she didn't really like the pirate, her sister likes him, so she had to deal with that.

"Wow." Mary Margaret comment, amazed.

"What your mother said." David comment, looking at his daughter.

"Is that just the corset?" Elsa asked, clueless as Caitlynn snickered at little. "Where's the rest of it?"

"This is the rest of it." Emma said, looking down at her dress.

"Someone's sister is going on a very big date tonight." Mary put Neal into the cot.

"Let's not oversell." Emma waved it off as then Mary Margaret grabbed a camera and took a picture of her as she comment. "Wow, I really need to get my own place."

"Yes, you do sis." Caitlynn comment. "That why I went to live with my husband, when the first curse broke." Then she noticed that her looked sad. "I didn't really know you mom, dad." She smiled at her parents as they smiled back at her.

Then David comment to Emma. "Cut your mother some slack. It's not like we got to send you to a ball."

"You sure you guys don't want help?" Emma asked, unsure. "Maybe I can get Hook to stay in for the night."

"My sister put her wedding on hold because of me." Elsa told her with a small smile. "I don't want anyone else to stop living their lives on my account."

Then the doorbell rings as Mary Margaret comment. "Here we go."

"Okay." Emma whispered as she walked towards the door and opened it, seeing Hook standing there.

"Uh..." Hook looked at her, smiling as he held something behind his back. "You look stunning, Swan."

"You look..." Emma was lost for words.

"I know." Hook smiled at her as he walked into apartment. "Now that I'm settling into this world, I finally thought it was time to dress the part."

Hook pulled his arm forwards as he was hold a rose, where his hook ones was, there was his hand replaced, Emma didn't noticed as she took the rose. "Wow, you really went all out."

"Uh, Emma?" Mary Margaret looked at his hand.

Then, Emma noticed that he had to hands now. "Is that..."

"Mine?" Hook nodded to her. "Yeah. The Dark One kindly restored what he once took from me. It seems he has indeed changed his ways." Caitlynn smiled at that as then she didn't know that was the real reason why his hand was back.
