The Captain's Daughter

Outside Storybrooke

David was freaking out cause not only was Emma going, she was taking Henry. He shook his head. Hayes. He snapped and I looked over from the breakfast bar. Yes? He nodded. I know, you have your own problems going on right now, such as your father being in the hospital and all, and you yourself just got released. Why do I feel like there is a but somewhere in there. Because I need you to go, to protect Emma. Protect me? David I'm a grown adult. And Hayes is younger than me. I just turned ten, you do not turn eleven till another 29 days or so. I said looking at Henry. Also if she crosses the town line she'll become Daenerys all over again. Not exactly. I said looking at Emma and she frowned. What do you mean, not exactly? Trust me, and like I said, I don't trust him enough to let you go on your own.

So Rumple got there and found out Henry and I were both going. But how is she going to leave without losing her memory? He asked and I smirked. Wouldn't you like to know. Yes, I would that is why I asked dearie. I smirked some and shook my head. I'm not telling. I said and Emma sighed some. Anyway David went to threaten Gold about him going out there with his family, but turns out he was an I quote giving a request. Well I'm glad you see it that way as a deal, because if all else fails that's why I'm sending Hayes. I rolled my eyes and headed out. We got into his car and I put my music in. I looked at my phone and bit the inside of my cheek. I didn't want to leave dad, but also I knew what had to be done. I felt Emma tap my leg and I pulled my ear bud out. Yeah? What's your name? Hayes Breena Jones, my father is Killian Brennan Jones, I'm ten years old and I'm currently on my way to my first airplane ride. Emma smiled at me some.

We were arriving at the airport and Emma sighed. Ok, Hayes, Henry listen up. I looked up and so did Henry. We are doing travel buddy system, you two are travel buddies, at all times stay with them, if one of you gets lost I expect both of you to be lost. Are you and Mr. Gold travel buddies? Henry asked and I shook my head. No they're adults, they don't need the system. I said as Gold parked. Anyway we got out and went inside. Emma had to get two tickets. One for me, one for Henry. Anyway we got the tickets and Emma  sighed. I'll hold onto Henry's and- I can hold onto mine. She frowned some. I'm used to being responsible for my own things. Don't lose it. She said and I nodded before sticking it in my book, and putting it in my backpack, as we made our way to the security check. I kept an earbud in but started getting my stuff off. Jacket, shoes, belt necklaces, finally I took my headphones off. I sat my stuff in a bin and watched as Henry stepped through. I swallowed and the guy nodded. Step through. I started walking and sighed as it didn't go off. I grabbed my stuff out of the bin and went to the chair and started putting my shoes back on. I stood up and nervously watched as Gold stepped through without the shawl. Do you smell that? I ignored Henry some biting my left thumb nail. Come on Emma. I muttered and sighed some as she got the shawl back on him. I sighed as they came up. Nice going Emma. I said and she smirked some putting an arm around me. You doing good? I nodded and she smiled some. Good. Hey guys! We looked up. they have a Cinnabon! Henry said running off.

I sat at the gate waiting to board and I kept looking at my phone. What is it? Emma asked and I sighed. I'm wondering if I should try to call dad. Oh, Honey, they released him from the hospital. How long has he been out? Since this afternoon, Mary Margaret said he's being very cocky and has a flirtatious attitude. So he's being normal. I said and she frowned. Really? That's normal? For the captain, yes. I looked at Rumple and I nodded. Yeah. Well, I guess that makes you happy. I shrugged as I stood up. Hayes? Bathroom. I said before walking off. I got into the bathroom and turned on the water. I splashed some water in my face trying to calm down. I missed home, I missed dad. I looked up in the mirror, some water fell off my nose before I dried my face. I pulled dad's ring out and looked at it. Hayes? I looked up at Emma. Are you ok? Nervous about flying I guess. I said and she sighed. You're home sick. I nodded and she hugged me. It's ok, I promise. We moved as the door opened. Oh sorry. The woman said and smiled some. You have a lovely daughter, looks just like you. I raised my eyebrow and looked at Emma as she smiled. Thanks. She said before walking out.

I had to sit in the row in front of them. I had a window seat at least. Hayes? Did you pack gum? I asked and she nodded Archie said you were a power chewer when you were nervous. She said handing me a pack of gum. Thanks Em. I said and she smiled. I'm right here if you need something. She said before I turned back around. I held onto the arm rests extremely tight as we started taking off. I closed my eyes and just tried to relax.

These things catch more than dreams.
