"Jen, are you ready?" Adam knocked on the door and Jennifer walked out of hair & make up, flashing a smile at him as they began their walk to set.
"Of course I'm ready Adam, I'm with the fans on this- it's about time." They both laughed but Jen stopped when she saw Meghan shooting her a concerned look. Jennifer had been avoiding her since the cast Christmas party where she accidentally had too much to drink and accidentally revealed way too much to her dear friend.
"Got a minute?" Jennifer didn't have chance to answer as Meghan pulled her away from Adam and closer to her own trailer.
"Don't be long Jen, filming starts in 10." Adam called back to the two, chuckling as they caught up on what they had missed over the holiday period.
"How do you feel? And I mean the real shit, not whatever you've been feeding everyone else for the past TWO YEARS!" Jen broke their eye contact to stare at the floor, she really had told her friend everything.
"I'm fine. I don't even know what I was saying Meg, blame the tequila!" Jen tried to joke herself out of the situation but the many years of friendship meant that Meghan saw straight through her lies.
"I'm fine, honestly. I only cried over my pathetic excuse of a love life twice over Christmas. I was too busy to think about it really, too busy seeing family. Now I'm back, I'm back to Emma Swan mode. I can't afford to think about this right now, this is a big scene!" Jennifer looked at her watch and went to walk away, but Meghan still followed.
"You're made of hard stuff little J-" Jennifer smiled at the nickname, it came after they spent the first series of filming getting to know each other and binge watching Gossip Girl on Netflix.
"As long as you're okay! That's all I wanted to know. Look babe, you're one of my best friends. I don't want you losing yourself over Mr Blue Eyes. I can't see you get hurt, you need to move on from Colin." Jennifer smiled at Meghan as they reached the set, handing her the coffee she was holding and drinking in her words. She said it as if they had broken up, when they have never been together. Hell, he was married!Jennifer stood in the sidelines as Josh and Colin finished their scene together.

"What exactly are you asking me Killian?" David refused to tear his eyes away from Hook, someone he once considered to be an enemy.
"I'm asking for your blessing to ask for your daughters hand in marriage." David would be lying if he said he wasn't enjoying watching Killian squirm under his glare, but he eventually managed a smile.
"And I was starting to believe you'd never ask! Of course Killian, you're already part of the family. But hurt her, and I will torture you in way worse ways than any creature or being in the underworld ever could." They shook hands and Killian wiped away the layer of sweat that had appeared on his forehead.
"I would never. If I ever hurt Emma, you wouldn't be able to punish me anymore than I would punish myself. Would you like to see the ring? It was my mothers." Killian reached for the ring that was safely in the breast pocked of his beloved leather jacket.--
The camera panned out as Colin was showing Josh the ring, and the director shouted CUT.
"Hey hot stuff." Colin walked over to Jen and beckoned for her to take his arm, a tradition of his if they were to start a scene together. He lead her over to set on the docks, just in front of the ships. Jarad joined them as he too was in these scenes.
"Are you ready?" Adam asked the trio and they all smiles at him, Jared giving a thumbs up sign just as Colin shot a wink in Jen's direction.--
"Killian, what are you up to? Can I take off this blindfold? I was supposed to meet Mom and Neal!" Killian continued to pull on Emma's arm and stopped when he he stood next to Henry.
"Now my boy, I have a very special mission for you."
"Henry is here? Oh Killian, take this blasted thing off of me!" Henry smiled at his Mom but turned back to Hook, a slight hint as to what was about to happen.
"Before I do anything else, I wanted to speak to you. You know I love you, and your mother very much." Killian's eyes were already shining with tears.
"Well, obviously. You've proved that enough times!" Henry rolled his eyes. Killian reached to his back pocket and pulled out some paper.
"Now please, don't think I am replacing Neal. I know he's your father and I know how much you love him. I'm not asking for an answer straight away but I know in this world, this is kind of a thing." Killian looked confused and thought back to when Belle made the suggestion months prior to this moment, just after Henry had asked for his contact details for some school form in which he needed the details of a third parent or guardian.
"I think of you as my boy, and I know you said it was okay when I asked you how you thought about it. So I was thinking maybe you might like to sign these?" Killian handed over the papers to Henry, who quickly read them.
"What are they? Can I take my blindfold off? I'm going to kill you Hook!" Emma grumbled as she couldn't see the exchange between her son and boyfriend, but she felt herself pulled into a three-way hug.
"Of course I'll sign them, Dad." Emma felt Henry start to cry and felt for his face, knowing that Killian had handed Henry adoption forms. The couple had spoke about it for months, Emma agreeing it would be the right thing to do for their future as a family.
"Oh Henry. We love you. Now Killian, take this off me!" She tried to undo the knot herself but it was too tight. Bloody pirates.
"Almost time love, there's just one more thing I need to do." He smirked at Henry and waved his hand, Henry watching as the two disappeared into a puff of blue smoke.
Killian finally took the blindfold off of her eyes, and Emma found herself in a forest that she recognized oh too well.
"Is this? How?" She looked at her surroundings, which confirmed that she was in fact in the forest in Neverland where they had shared their first kiss all those years ago.
"Aye love. I spoke to our lovely friend, the Queen. She gave me just enough magic so I could get us here and get us back, it's a special place for both of us." Emma locked her eyes with her lovers, and before she knew it; he was kneeling before her.
"Emma Swan, from the day I met you, I knew I loved you. You saw the good in me when nobody else did. I didn't know the true meaning of family until I met you, and your boy. And now I can't imagine life without either of you." Emma had tears openly flowing down her cheeks, her whole body shaking.
"I feel the same, you are my family and I wouldn't have it any other way. Colin, you're always on my mind and I cannot count the amount of times the thoughts of you have kept me awake. All I want is to hold you in my arms and never let go, I-"
