The Docks (a Once Upon A Time Fan Fiction)

Chapter 14

Hook leaned against the door. He felt like he had a dagger in his heart. He listened to his daughters pleas and all he wanted to do was throw the door open and hold her in his arms. But yet he was frozen and he didn't know why. He listened to his daughters desperate voice. She no longer sounded like the strong young women he remembered. She sound like a small helpless child. Her cried brought back memories of him holding a small human that barely fit in his two hands. He looked down at his hand and hook. Corey was the one who had nick named him Captain Hook. Eventually the crew began to call him it and then the name spread like wildfire. He smiled as he thought of all the memories: when he taught her how to use a sword, when she steered the ship for the first time. He almost let out a laugh as he thought of how her tiny toddler hands could barley grasp the wheel of the ship. He reached for the door handle but before he opened it. Corey banged on the door with anger.

"Coward!!!" She screamed "your nothing but a coward!" He heard the ship creak as she walked away. The pain in his chest was unbearable. He knew it was true. He was scared of the past, something his daughter could barely remember. He had gone past the point of no return. He was a coward. Calling someone a coward was something no one on his ship said. It was the biggest insult someone could give. He pulled out the picture of Milah he always kept with him. He did what he always did when he was troubled, he thought about what Milah would do. She told him what he knew he should have done all along. He folded up the picture, unlocked the door, and began to run.

He finally caught up to Corey and the Charmings. He faced Corey. She looked down at the ground refusing to look him in the eyes.

"You're right love. I am a coward. I was afraid to face you. I knew I could have gone back during the storm but I waited. I should have risked everything and gone back to you. But when I got there I was to late.. You had died.. Or at least I thought you did. I thought you died thinking I didn't love you. But I did. Not a day went by that I

didn't think about you. I was a coward back there but love, a man unwilling to fight for what he wants deserves what he gets and I know what I want.... I want you back" Corey looked up at him

Tears streaming down her face she wrapped her arms around his neck as he picked her up and twirled her around.

" my little pirate" he whispered.

As Emma watched Hook and Corey she felt David's arm go around her shoulders and pull her close. She smiled as she watched Corey. Emma knew how Corey felt because Emma had just gotten her family back too.
