Emma's POV
I was sitting with my parents talking when I looked over and saw that Hook was leaving. He had a look of utter despair on his face, one that made my heart ache at its very core. Had I done something wrong? I couldn't just let him leave like that. Not with out an explanation as to why he was leaving. I walked quickly over to him and grabbed his arm in order to stop him. He turned and looked at me. "Swan, is there something I can help you with?" He said in a bitter tone. I was shocked at how he said this. I thought we were friends. I shook it off and asked the question that had been beating at the back of my head for the last few minutes, "Why are you leaving?" He didn't answer. He looked like he wanted to so badly but he just couldn't bring himself to say the words that he needed to say so desperately. I stepped closer and after checking to make sure no one was looking, placed my hand on his chest. I felt my cheeks turn bright red as his heart beat uncontrollably beneath my hand. "You can tell me," I whispered, "Whatever you need to say you can tell me." His gaze turned from the ground up to me and once again burnt into me, the blue in them intensifying as he did so. "Emma I-" He paused for a moment and looked around the crowded restaurant. I guess he decided that he couldn't say what he needed to around all of the people because within the next second he had grabbed my hand and pulled me outside. What was he going to say?

Hook's POV
I pulled her to the side where no one could see us and took a deep breath. I didn't plan to tell her how I felt about her but her curiosity felt almost like a challenge like she was just daring me, daring me to tell her the truth. It wasn't long before I closed the gap between us. I backed her up against the side of the building and placed my hand and my Hook on either side of the wall behind her so she was completely boxed in by my much larger frame. I could tell by her face that I was making her uncomfortable but I couldn't have that space between us anymore, that dreadful space that always seemed to keep me from her. I had so much that I needed to tell her but in this moment all I wanted was to feel her breath against my skin, to run my fingers through her long, silky, golden hair and that I did. She was reluctant to give into it at first but after a bit she melted into my embrace and took me in just as I had taken her in. I felt my knees start to buckle as her hand wrapped around my head. Then, before I even had a chance to prepare myself she pressed her lips against mine gently. I pulled away after a few seconds. As much as I wanted to just stand there and kiss her I couldn't, it was time for me to throw away my pride and tell her the truth. "Emma," I whispered, looking deep into her sparkling eyes, "Before we came out here I was about to tell you something. Something important." I could see her face light up with that same curiosity I had seen in the restaurant. "What is it?" She asked. This was it. I had to let go of all my fears, about rejection, about heart break, I had to tell her how I felt. Almost as though I was telling her something of no importance the words slipped out of my mouth without a second thought, "I'm in love with you."

Emma's POV
My heart stopped. I couldn't believe what I had just heard come out of his mouth. He's in love with me? How do I even respond to that? My mouth opened but no words came out. I had been rendered completely speechless. I mean I just met Hook, I was just fighting with him last night and now he had fallen in love with me? Don't get me wrong last night with him had been amazing but I just became a mother and now he wanted me to be a girlfriend too? It's just too much. I don't even know if I have enough room in my life to love another person. His eyes were so focused on me that I thought they were going to drill a hole right through my head. I know that he wanted me to say that I loved him too but I just couldn't. I just started to like him. I knew that the words I was about to say were going to crush his heart but I needed to say them. I cared too much about him to lead him on. I lifted my hand up and caressed his face gently I felt tears burning at the back of my eyes. I didn't want to tell him what I knew I had to. I didn't want to hurt him. A tear finally broke free and dripped slowly down my cheek as those two cursed words came out of my mouth, "I can't." He didn't say anything back. He just wiped away my tears, kissed me one last time and walked away, leaving me alone with my guilt. What had I just done?
