My Captain

Dad?

*Emma's POV *

Killian and I were on our way to meet Henry, Rebecca in her carrier wrapped against me. She started to fuss and he offered to go get her blanket, giving me a deep, lingering kiss before running back to the castle. I smiled to myself, moving her to my chest to soothe her a bit.

"Emma!" I heard a strangely familiar voice call and turned around. "Thank god I found you."

"Neal?" I said quietly, completely confused and taken aback. "W-what are you doing here?"

"Looking for you," he said simply, suddenly realizing I was holding a baby. "Woah, your mom had another girl?"

"What?" I asked, confused. "No, my brother is with them, why?"

"Really?" Now he was the one confused. "Then who's baby is that?"

"Umm, mine," I said awkwardly. "This is my daughter, Rebecca."

"What? Who did you..." he looked down at her when I moved her back to her carrier, his eyes widening as he probably registered the bright blue of hers. "No... Please tell me you didn't-"

"Dad!" He was cut off by Henry yelling, turning to see him running straight to Killian. "I knew you'd come home!"

I smiled as they shared a tight hug, seeing both of them fighting tears. Neal was in shock next to me, his mouth actually hanging open as he watched them. I felt bad for him, but I was just too happy to have my family back together.

"Smart kid," I smiled as I walked over to them and Killian's arm immediately snaked around my waist. "We really should listen to him more."

"Hey, mom," Henry grinned, eagerly taking Rebecca from her carrier just as I was pulled into a deep kiss. "Hey, baby sister. Do you have a name yet?"

"Aye, that she does," Killian answered when we our lips separated. "Meet Rebecca Jones."

"No," Neal snapped loudly and we all looked up, Rebecca starting to fuss again. He came towards us angrily and I quickly took her back to hold her to me, Killian's arm tightening. "This isn't how things were supposed to end up. Henry calling this pirate 'dad'? Emma, what the hell are you doing with him?"

"Neal, calm down," I said gently, rubbing Rebecca's back to try to calm her. "We're all in a bit of shock here, so why don't you just come back to the castle with us and we'll all talk."

"Not until you tell me what's going on," he yelled, making Rebecca scream even louder as Henry flinched back into me and I wrapped my free arm around him. "I can't have missed that much!"

"Mate," Killian said sternly but quietly, putting his other hand on the baby's back with mine. "You need to be calm. You're upsetting Rebecca and Henry. Just come with us."

He didn't say a word but followed us, fuming the entire way. We went to the study and all sat down, Henry staying curled into my side and Killian keeping me as close as possible. Rebecca finally calmed down so I let her lay in her carrier, her head by Killian as he put his hand on her which calmed her further.

"Okay," I sighed, wrapping one arm around Henry and twining my fingers with Killian's at my waist with my arm supporting our daughter. "Go ahead and ask."

"What the hell did I miss?" Neal asked, his anger practically tangible but his voice lower. "When I died you had just been engaged to a flying monkey and now you're, I'm assuming by the ring, married to the pirate and you have a baby. Not to mention that my son is calling him 'dad'."

We filled him in bit by bit, trying not to overwhelm him. Henry had never seemed afraid of anyone, but the more we talked, the angrier Neal got and the more Henry clung to me. Apparently I wasn't the only one nervous about him coming back from the dead.
