{Writer's POV}
Present Time

Killian and all his crew arrived two days before Emma's wedding with August. But little did he know that he was in for a huge surprise, and not only a wedding, but a daughter too.

Emma was walking hand in hand with August, who was carrying Caroline in his other arm. They were visiting the village, as they usually did, it brought them closer as a family.

Caroline and August were quite close, since he is the only father figure she's ever had, aside from David of course.

Neither of them knew they were being watched by the one and only Captain Hook.
He felt only one thing at that moment. Rage. He never thought it would be this hard to see Emma with another man, and a little girl. Hook had no idea who she was, and then a thought crossed his mind.

It was Emma and August's daughter. If it hadn't been for Smee, his most trusted crew member, placing a hand on Killian's shoulder to stop him, he would've already be next to Emma.

He never even analyzed coming back to Mist Haven. He never analyzed how he would feel seeing Emma with another.
It felt worse than anything he had ever experienced.

Emma and August were chuckling as Caroline told a joke and she laughed really hard at it. It was a joke without sense, but of course made the little toddler laugh her pants off.

Killian was pissed at the situation, of course he was happy for Emma, she was happy, or so it seemed. But he wanted her to be happy with him, not with another man. But he knew better than to interfere with that happiness. He left Emma when she needed him there. He left her and nothing would ever change that.

Emma liked this walks since it brought her closer to August, maybe not to the point of loving him, but surely to be happy to have him and take care of her and her daughter.

"What are you thinking about, Emma?" August asked her softly as he looked down at her.
"Nothing important, just that I'm happy" She said, and it was true.
She just really hoped, from the bottom of her heart, that someone would interrupt her wedding, she loved August but not the way he deserved, she liked him as a friend and he already knew that.

"I'm happy, too." He smiled and she smiled back at him as she rested her head on his shoulder and he smiled at this as they walked together.

A wave of jealousy hit Killian and stood up to go get Emma back but before he knew it Smee was once again interrupting him.

"Stop, Captain. I know you want her back" He said, he was the only one who Killian told about Emma. "But this is not the way"
"Get off my way, Smee."

"Captain, just wait 'till the wedding"
Killian sighed and nodded in defeat.
"Okay, you're right"

The following two days were hard on both of them, Killian wanted to be with Emma so bad. And Emma was trying to prepare mentally and physically for her wedding.

And then, the wedding day finally came. Emma was ready and checking herself on a large mirror, looking for any imperfections.

"Emma, dear, you look so beautiful" Snow said, with a smile and a single tear falling down her eye

"Emma, dear, you look so
beautiful" Snow said, with a smile and a single tear falling down her eye.

"Don't cry, mom" Emma said. She wasn't feeling emotional, not at all. She knew this was it, she was getting married and there was no going back. For a princess it it impossible to divorce and of course, in a land such as Mist Haven, that was pretty much impossible. A divorce could never happen, much less to Emma.

"I'm so happy for you, Emma" Her mom told her.
Emma just nodded and faked a smile.
Snow knew Emma didn't love August.

"Em, I know you aren't happy to marry August, and I know that you miss Killian, and as much as it hurts me, he left you, Em. He became the most feared pirates of all. And he's probably never coming back, I know this words hurt you, I know it. But you got to move on, sweetheart. I would love if it was Killian instead of August that you were marrying, but August is a good man who loves you and cares for you and little Caroline." Snow finished her speech as tears were falling down Emma's rosy cheeks.
"I know he cares for me, mom. I know he loves him, and I love him too, just not the same way. I appreciate him as a friend and I'm afraid I'll never move on from Killian, he was my first love and will always be." Emma finished with more tears.  

Snow hugged Emma tightly, and Emma hugged her back. Snow hated seeing Emma like this, happy but not completely, since before she was born Snow always dreamed of her daughter marrying her true love, just like Snow did, and it broke her heart that it wasn't coming true. 

They pulled back and each wiped their tears off as they heard a knock and David came in.

"Emma, you look gorgeous." He smiled and Emma smiled back.

"Thanks, dad" she said and they hugged quickly.

"It's time Em" She nodded and he took her hand as they all walked out and to where the wedding was being held.

The wedding was going on perfectly fine.

"Speak now or forever hold your peace..." The marriage officiant said the line he has said too many times before, and as usual, he was about to proceed since no one ever interrupted a wedding.
"Now-" he started but was interrupted by the doors being slammed open.

A dashing, blue eyes pirate standing there with a smirk. Everyone's head turned to the doors to see who dared interrupt a royal wedding.

Emma's jaw was now on the floor, she couldn't believe her eyes.
Killian held Emma's gaze and if he looked at her any longer he would drill a hole on her head.

His smug smirk instantly turned into a soft smile as he saw his dear Emma surprised and tears in her eyes.

She knew best than to run into his arms, she was mad, furious, at him for leaving her alone, with their child. But she couldn't help it. She left all the convincing she tried and heard of other people saying that he never loved her, that he was never coming back and much more horrible words, behind her and she instantly ran into his arms.

Hugging him as close to her as it was humanly possible and hid her face where his neck and shoulder met as she was now silently crying.

He hugged her so tight that he thought he was going to break her, but she hugged him just as tight, so he knew she was okay. She was okay and in his arms. He hid his face in her hair and closed his eyes.

Everyone was silent, they all knew who he was. Snow and David were so surprised that they didn't know what to do. David didn't know if to call the guards, everyone wants to catch Hook, he's committed many crimes such as robbery and murder. But he knew it would break her daughter. So he stood still, not doing anything.

August was still in shock, he wasn't dumb nor stupid. He just put two and two together and realized that it was him. It was Killian. The man who had hurt Emma too much. And he wasn't letting him take the woman he loves away from him.

Everyone started whispering as they weren't in shock anymore and make Emma realize what was really happening. She slowly pulled back enough to fave him but still be in his arms.
Emma really didn't care what everyone else thought or said.
"What are you doing here?" She asks nearly over a whisper that Killian had to listen closely to get what she said. Hurt was so evident in her voice that if someone didn't notice it they would most likely have a listening problem.
"I came back for you"
He said strongly as he pulled her in for a slow but passionate kiss.
