My Happy Ending, Part 3

Isn't she adorable!! ^^^^^

            

Emma and Killian were almost asleep - they were both pretty tired. One would think that since there hadn't been any villains since Gideon's defeat, things wouldn't be as crazy.

No such luck. Their daughter, who was now six, kept Emma and Killian on their toes. While she was a very sweet little girl, she loved to experiment with magic. That made for some very sticky situations. At times, she was definitely more pirate than princess.

Just as Emma and Killian had drifted off, they heard, "Mommy, Daddy?"

They sleepily and slowly sat up before Emma asked, "What is it, kid?"

"I want a story," Alena responded.

"And what story would that be, love?" Killian asked.

Instead of replying, she ran over to the side of the bed and held up a book. It was the book that Henry had made for her when she born, aptly named the Princess and the Pirate.

Emma and Killian smiled at their daughter before he told her, "Good choice, love."

Alena returned her parents' smiles in response.

Killian then grabbed the book and handed it to his wife before lifting Alena and placing her in his lap.

The dark-haired girl immediately grabbed Killian's hook and brace from the nightstand and put her hand in it.

"Look! I'm a pirate princess!" she exclaimed. It was then that Killian and Emma noticed the tiara on her head.

"That you are," Emma agreed as she stroked her daughter's black curls.

Killian then tried to remove the brace and hook, only for Alena to protest, "Daddy, I want to wear it while Mommy reads the story," furrowing her brows in a way that reminded him of Emma.

Emma then intervened, "We know you do, kid, but we don't want you to accidently get hurt or hurt me or Daddy."

"Daddy wears it all the time," Alena argued.

"Aye, love. That's because I've had it for a very, very long time," Killian explained.

The little girl sighed in response. As Killian began to stroke her hair, he suggested, "How about I wear it, and you can hold on to it."

Her blue eyes lit up as she smiled and told him, "Okay."

He then took the brace and hook and placed it over his stump. Once in place, he wrapped his arm around his daughter, who instantly took the hook in her small fingers.

"You can start the story now, Mommy."

"Sure thing, kid," Emma replied with a smile.

She opened the book and began, "Once upon a time, Snow White and Prince Charming were finally going to get their happily ever after, after years of battling the Evil Queen.

Their bliss, however, did not last long. The Evil Queen, with the help of the Dark One - otherwise known as Rumplestiltskin - was planning to enact a dreadful curse. A curse that would take away the happy ending of Snow White and Prince Charming, as well as the rest of the inhabitants of the Enchanted Forest. The curse, which would create the picturesque town of Storybrooke, Maine, in the Land Without Magic, would cause the beloved fairytale residents of the Enchanted Forest to forget their former lives in whatever capacity Regina wished. The curse was said to be unstoppable.

All hope was not lost, however. Snow White was pregnant, and she and David were to have a beautiful baby girl. Born of true love, she would possess the lightest of magic and would become the Savior. Her destiny was to bring back the happy endings of her parents, as well as everyone else. She would do so by breaking the curse with True Love's Kiss.
