...Killian Jones Goes to School: Part 1/1...

Killian entered the kitchen and placed a kiss on Emma's cheek as she stood at the stove making pancakes.

"Good morning, love," he said.

Emma turned toward him, smiling. "Morning. Are you ready for today?"

Killian sat down across from Henry. "As ready as I'll ever be I suppose."

Henry stabbed at his pancake and grumbled, "This is going to be so embarrassing."

"Hey," Emma said warningly, shooting him a glare. "Be nice. This is all new for Killian. I expect you to be supportive and help him adjust."

Henry rolled his eyes in typical teenage fashion. "Mom, do you have any idea how hard freshman year is? I've been there a couple of months and I'm still figuring things out. Still trying to fit in. I don't need my mom's live-in, centuries old pirate boyfriend drawing attention to me."

Killian shrugged. "Not to worry, lad. I have no intention of embarrassing you."

Henry eyed him warily. "I know you got excused from wearing the school uniform, but you're not wearing that, are you?" Henry asked, gesturing to his usual attire of black jeans, dark shirt, vest, and black leather jacket.

Killian glanced down at his clothes. "What in bloody hell is wrong with my attire?"

"You look like a reject from Grease."

Killian's brow furrowed and he looked to Emma for help. "What?"

She simply shook her head as Henry went on, gesturing to the sword hanging by his side. "And you definitely can't wear that."

"Why the devil not?"

"No weapons allowed on school grounds."

Killian lifted his hook. "And what about this?"

Henry shrugged. "I guess they'll make an exception for that. Just don't fillet anyone."

Killian sighed heavily as he looked up at Emma. "Love, perhaps this was not my finest idea."

Emma leaned down close to him and stroked his cheek. "It was a great idea and I am so proud of you. You're going to do great."

Killian removed his sword and laid it on the chair beside him, as Henry ate his pancakes in mopey silence.

Emma went to the refrigerator and pulled something out. She smiled brightly as she placed the item on the table in front of Killian.

"I got you a little something for your first day. I found it online," she said.

Killian grinned as he looked at the lunch box that was made to resemble a treasure chest.

"Thank you, love. It's perfect."

"I even packed it with your favorites for lunch."

"You didn't have to go to all that trouble, Swan."

"I wanted to," she said sweetly.

Henry's mouth hung open wide as he stared at the lunch box. "You can't carry that around school!"
