One Big Happy Family?

Was It Just A Dream?

"What did you get our daughter for her birthday?" Snow whispered, not wanting anyone who may have been walking by their room to hear. Today was Emma's birthday and they were throwing her a surprise party. Charming hopped out of bed and pulled a huge sack that looked kind of like the sack Santa carries around- "Santa isn't real!" Snow yelled at the author. "He isn't?" Charming cried. "Anyways! Before I was so rudely interrupted!" The narrator yelled back. Charming smiled proudly as he picked the sack up and placed it on the bed, "Honey, what is in this bag?" Snow asked as she peeked in, "Bats? A sword? Brass knuckles? Boxing glo- CHARMING! This isn't proper birthday gifts for a girl." "Our daughter isn't the girly girl type and you know that. She's a hard-ass like her *cough* mother." Snow narrowed her eyes at him, "Whatever." Charming went back in the closet searching for Snow's gift, "And what did you get her?" He pulled a bow and arrow from the closet, "Really?" He smirked. "I thought it would be a nice way for us to bond." She smiled. "Anyways, I'm not the one giving her a SACK of weapons!" And they just kept being the cute couple they are. Hook was searching all over the room looking for something specific, "Neal, have you seen a small black box?" He asked. Neal shook his head, "Mate, I HAVE to find that box! It's really important. It's a gift to someone special." "Try to think of the last place you were when you had it." Neal advised. Hook closed his eyes and thought, "Living room!" He yelled before he dashed downstairs and saw his box sitting on top of the tv. He sighed in relief and grinned as he placed the box in his pocket. Don't ask me what is in the box because you'll find out later.

What's in the box!! I know you're probably wondering but all good things come to those who wait. The author was mocking the audience. "Why did we have to get her gifts again?" Cora asked Regina as they walked downstairs. "Because mother" Regina sighed, "We're all family now, whether we like it or not." "Hook isn't family!" Regina turned to her mother, "Huh. You're right. The author must've put him in the house cos she likes him." The author looked the other way as she blushed. "Shame. I could've had my own room." Cora sneered. Rumple came downstairs, "Where's your precious Belle?" Cora teased. Rumple frowned, "You know she's away at a book convention." "Oh right, forgot she was a bookworm." Rumple raised his cane but took a deep breath instead of acting upon his instinct. Neal and Henry came downstairs laughing, but not loudly, everyone was trying not to wake up Emma. Snow and Charming were walking out of their room smiling at each other and Hook was following. "Okay, so who's gonna wake her up?" Charming asked. "Oh me please!" Hook smirked. Charming glared at him but before he could answer Snow chimed in, "Sure. Make it funny." "Oh love, it'll be hilarious." He said as he crept back upstairs. He walked over to her and smiled, "Love." He whispered. She didn't budge. So he got really close to her ear and yelled, "Your parents are making tacos in your bed again!!" She jumped up swinging, hitting Hook upside the head, "Not in my bed! Nooo!!" Hook fell to the floor. When his eyes opened, he saw Emma standing over him, "Well, isn't it my lucky day. Waking up to a beautiful lass again." He grinned. "You know my husband wouldn't like you talking to me like that." Emma laughed. "Your husband?! Who is your husband?" Hook sat up confused, his head pounding from being hit. "Neal silly. You were his best man at the wedding." Emma tilted her head at him in confusion, "You must have really bumped your head there." "Uh, yeah. I think I need some water. I'll go downstairs and get some." He slowly walked downstairs, utterly confused.

"Oh hey Hook." Snow greeted him with a smile. Hook. grabbed a glass of water, "Did you know Emma and Neal were married?" He asked as he chugged the water down. "Of course. We were all at the wedding. Are you okay?" Snow gave him a look of concern. He began to panic a little bit, "Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. I think I need some fresh air." He went and sat outside on the porch, staring at nothing. He was within his mind, trying to figure out what was going on. Regina walked outside, "Honey, why are you outside?" She ran her hand through his hair. "Honey?" He jumped up. She smiled at him, "That's usually what I call you since we've been married." Hook felt his knees buckle and become weak, "You're my wife?" She studied his expression, "Hook, we've been married for 6 years now. We have twin daughters, Alyssa and Mariah. What's wrong with you?" Just then two little girls ran outside, "Daddy!" Hook looked down and he looked like he had seen a ghost. Tears began to form in his eyes, he was so confused and all he wanted to know was what had happened. "Girls, let's give daddy some space." Regina said as she ushered the girls back inside. This was too much for him to take in at once. Someone was pulling into the driveway, it was Charming and Henry. "Afternoon Hook." Charming said as he walked inside, Henry could see Hook was disturbed about something so he stayed. "Hook, something wrong?" "Henry, how old are you?" Hook looked at him. "I'm...23. Did something happen?" Henry was confused too. Hook looked at Henry, "I don't remember anything! The last thing I remember is that it was your mom's birthday 10 years ago. And I was waking her up and she accidentally hit me in the head and when I woke up, she was telling me she was married to Neal. I'm so confused Henry, please help me." He took pity upon the pirate who is now apparently a family man.

"Hook, I think you're dreaming. Wake up!!" Henry started shaking him. Hook closed his eyes and when he opened them, he saw everyone standing over him. He woke with a fright, "Wha-what happened?" "I accidentally hit you and you were knocked out for about 10 minutes. Are you okay?" Hook placed his hand on his heart, which was beating fast, "Yeah. I'm okay. I had a dream that it was 10 years later and you were married to Neal and I was married to Regina and we had a set of twins." He sighed from relief. "That sounds more like a nightmare Hook. You sure you're okay? Need some rum?" Cora laughed. Regina narrowed her eyes at her mother, "Whatever mother. I bet you still dream about Rumple." Cora blushed and Regina laughed. "Okay pirate, let's get you downstairs." Emma smiled as she helped him to his feet. Once they got downstairs Emma saw everything set up for her party, "Aww guys this was very sweet, but you didn't have-" "We did. You're our baby girl and you deserve any happiness we can give you." Charming said as he kissed his daughter on the forehead. Hook pulled the little black box from his pocket and handed it to Emma, "Happy birthday, love." She looked into his eyes and smiled softly, "Thank you." She opened it to find a fish hook. "So you'll always remember Hook." He smirked. She laughed and hugged him, "It's perfect." He looked at her adoringly and she just continued to hug him.
