Look Up to the Stars (Captain Swan)

Chapter 29

Emma entered her mother's loft exhausted. She sat at the counter and sighed as her mother entered the kitchen.

"I bet Henry's really happy you're staying." Mary Margaret said.

"He is. He just... makes me think of me, when I met you." the blonde replied.

"As he asked you about his father?" she asked.

"No. Not yet. And I don't know what to tell him. His father..." she sighed once more.

"You do not have anything to tell him for now."

"Yeah. Um... talking about that, did you... go see David?" Emma asked.

"No, I... couldn't." Mary Margaret admitted.

"I should have done that. I went with Killian and told him he was my father and I just left." Emma said.

Emma still had her look down on the counter, while her mother looked at her. Mary Margaret could remember the sixteen year old Emma asking about her father.

"I did not know what to tell him..." she added.

"It's okay. It's totally okay." Mary Margaret said and put her hand on her daughter's shoulder. "I'm going to sleep."

"Yeah, me too." Emma said. She got up and slowly walked to the stairs. "Goodnight, mom."

Mary Margaret smiled. "Good night, Emma."

Emma knocked at the door of the station, where she found Graham working, probably doing paper work.

"Hi." he said. "Can I help you?"

"Well, it seems like I'm staying here so I'm looking for a job. I know we haven't talked much, but you know I have some experience and I helped with Mr. Nolan's case." Emma said.

"I'd have to look up a few things, but this isn't a bad idea." he said.

"Really?"

"Yeah. But I also need to talk to Killian about this-" he started, but wad cut by Killian entering the room at the same time.

"Talk to me about what?" he asked.

"Offering a job to Miss Swan, here." Graham answered.

"Oh. That's a great idea." Killian said.

"That's what I thought. I'll try to update you on that as soon as possible." Graham told her before getting up and walking over to the other room. Suddently, Killian's look became more serious.

"What?" Emma asked.

"Last time I saw you, you ran off because you just told you father you were his daughter." he declared.

"And?" she said. She didn't want to talk about that.

"How are you doing?" he finally asked.

"I'm fine." she told him. "You know what, Henry's probably already waiting for me, I should go".

"Swan..." he sighed.

"It was nice to see you." she added before leaving. However, she though about how nice it was that someone cared for her. She shook her head.

You're not sixteen anymore, Emma. Things have changed.

"You know, sometimes Killian takes me on his boat-" Henry started.

"His boat?" Emma asked.

"Yeah, well one like the ones at the docks, just, a small boat." Henry said. "But yeah, he took me a few times and it was fun, so I thought I could ask him if we could go all three?" he suggested.

"Oh, sure, that could be fun." Emma said before taking a bite of her pancake. "So, your mom really doesn't have any idea you're with me?"

"Council meeting. She won't be back until five." he said. Emma smiled. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure." she said.

"Could you tell me about my dad?" Henry asked and Emma couldn't have been more surprised. She did not say anything for a moment, which worried Henry.

"Your dad, he... he was a really good man. He was... a fireman. And I loved him very much, but he died, saving someone's life. He was a hero." Emma said, well lied. How could she tell that his father was the man that got her to jail? That they both were thieves, they lived in a car and he left her alone, never came back. How could she tell that his father had no idea he was a father? Henry deserved more than Neal Cassidy as a father.

The young boy did not say anything, understanding his mother's pain.

I'm sorry abou the short chapter.
You know what's really cool, if I look to the right, right now, I see a giant face of Colin on my door :3
I found OUAT posters at an HMV and I kinda started taking selfies with Colin :') (that's the pic at the top xd Having too much fun)

So, anyways, you probably want CS back right?
Cause I kinda miss writing CS and I have this idea in my head so yeaaah.
CS is life, and it's been 9 chapter, so, why not, huh?

And well I'm not really following s1, because it's much different without magic and I don't want to always have to watch the episodes to match, so yeah, I hope you still like it.

Tell me what you think xx
