Emma's POV
Neal clutches to me as he dives out of his cage. I slowly raise my arms and hug him back, I didn't want this. I didn't want him.

"It's ok Emma."he whispers trying to soothe me when I needed no soothing. I just nod as mixed emotions rush through me. Ho- Killian thought he could move on from his past....with me?!

That was a lot to take in, no one has ever, ever told me something like that. I release Neal and stand up,"Come on, we need to get going before Pan finds us."I rush nervously looking anywhere but at him. He nods and crawls out of the cage following me back to my parents.

Killian kept his hard gaze locked onto the ground as he clenched his jaw. My Mom had the stare that could kill going on while my Dad looks guilty. "Let's move."I mutter pushing past all of them out of the suddenly small cave.

I take a deep Neverland breath as I come up out of the gateway to hell. My stomach felt like jello after that secret Killian exposed. He wanted to be with me, to move on from Rumplestiltskin and Milah, he wanted to change and why? Because of me?

Nobody had ever cared for me that much to forget their 300 year old past and let it go, but I had never met a 300 year old person. I take another deep breath as everyone else follows me out.

"You ok Emma?"Mary Margret asks laying a gentle hand on my shoulder. I offer her a weak smile and nod once,"Fine." But I was fair from it.

That kiss, wow that kiss, it had messed me up. I did it to prove that he couldn't get under my skin, that I was up for a challenge but it turned into something much more than that. I had opened myself up to the possibility of loving someone again in those few seconds, that's why I reacted so harshly, that's why I had pushed him away putting my walls back up.

"Emma are you ok?"Neal asks walking up out of the cave rushing to my side. I take a step away from him keeping my gaze locked on the Neverland tree,"Fine, let's just get our son."I say nonchalantly biting the inside of my cheek.

He just burrows his eyebrows nodding and follows my parents back to the camp. Once they were out of sight Hook walks up behind me slightly taking a hold of my wrist. "You alright there, love?"he asks in a whisper sending a shivers of delight or fear through my spine.

I turn around to face him not realizing how close he was until I'm completely around. You couldn't even fit a piece of paper between us.

He keeps his hold on my wrist as our eyes meet. Raising an eyebrow he smirks, his cocky pirate self coming back,"Pirate got your tongue?"he slightly chuckles searching my eyes for any reaction. His bright blue eyes twinkle mischievously as his tongue darts out to wet his lips.

I frown feeling a blush creep into my cheeks, why'd he have this affect on me?

Neal never had this, Graham definitely didn't have this. They were both sweet and kind; when we kissed I felt fuzzy and warm. But Killian is sexy and determined, when he kissed me it was like a wildfire had started.

That's why I didn't understand why him of all people. Was it the pirate in him, his looks?! What ever it was I'd never had it with someone else.

"No, I just..."I take a deep breath as Hook's unwavering gaze lands on me.
"I just want to find Henry." I finally get out. Hook raises an eyebrow letting go of my wrist,"And your mood has nothing to do with Baelfire's return?"

I bite my tongue, he just hit the nail on the head. I slowly shake my head and take a step back,"Why would it?"I ask laying my hands in my hips.

His expression turns serious as he stays were he is,"Because he left you, you thought he was dead and left that part of your life behind but now he's back."he leans back grabbing a hold of his belt buckle with his hand. I swallow a sudden lump in my throat, talk about an open book.

How can he read me so well?!  "Killian I just....."I take a deep breath as he raises a eyebrow, was I really about to do this? Closing my eyes I rush out everything,"I still love Neal but yes he did leave me jail, he got me pregnant, and then returns trying to move his way back into my life all because of Henry."

"And I understand that but he just can't become apart of our family just like that and wonder why I don't return his feelings! I don't want to be with him, I can't trust him again after everything he did to me and I-"I cut myself off as I stop from saying something I'd regret.

And with you in the middle of all this it puts a lot of weight on me not adding the fact that I've gotten feelings for you which just complicates everything!

I blink as it runs through my head, did I really have feelings for Hook? A pirate?

He had stuck with me through out everything I'd dragged him through, Neal had left me in jail. Killian had brought me here, Neal had left me in Boston. Killian had stuck with me even though I made mistakes that affected him, Neal is a mistake.

I blink coming out of my trance to see Hook staring with interest at me. He raises a dashing eyebrow and smirks,"And you...."he trails off. I blink again feeling a blush creep up on my neck. And I what?

He steps forward closing the small distance between us and raises his hand to play with a strand of my hair. "And you can't figure out your own feelings?" he asks staring at me intensely. I bite the inside of my cheek as another lump forms in my throat, it felt like his eyes were burning my entire body. The look in his eyes made my knees feel weak.

"Let me help you."he whispers glancing down at my lips. His warm hand slides up to hold my cheek gently while his hook landed on my waist. He searches my eyes for any signs of hesitation finding non. 0, zip, nada.

He closes the distances between us making me inhale sharply. Capturing my lips with his the heat travels to my lips making my toes curl in delight. I raise one hand to tangle in his hair, my other grabbing the label of his coat as I respond to his lips.

Deepening the kiss he angles his head to the left making our lips lock together even tighter. I tighten my grip on his coat as my whole body explodes in shivers. Footsteps are heard in the distance making us quickly pull apart and back away from each other.

"Are you guys coming or not?"Mary Margret asks coming around the corner. I glance over at Killian who had a hint of a smirk on his lips making me bite back a smile, his hair was a mess. "Yea, we we're talking about the cave."I say nonchalantly walking back to the trail. I feel Killian's heated gaze on me as I pass a bewildered Mom.

What had I gotten myself into?
