Twists of Fate

Chapter 27

Happy Once Day! Are you also all dead because of Colifer Con yesterday? They're so adorable.

And about what Jen said at the panel about the proposal being interrupted...Do you think that Emma will give Killian the ring back today? I do would like to get a second proposal(which could be written by Jane(6x15)), but I also don't think I can handle a "break up" I'm so conflicted.

Killians POV

Suddenly the doorbell rings. Weird. Swan just left. Did she forget something? But why the bloody he'll would she ring the bell? Its her house.

It must be Swna though. Who else would come here when Emma isn't here. Henry's in school. No one would visit me. Everyone just thinks of me as a dirty pirate. No one wants to be friends with me.

Everyone but David. I know he likes me. He would never admit it though because he doesn't like me being with Emma. He thinks, that she deserves better than me and she does, but I sometimes am selfish. I could never let Swan go. I love her too much.

When I open the door, I instantly regret it. Its this weird Cuddy person, who believes that she's my mother. But she isn't. My mom is dead.

Cuddy: "Hi. Please don't close the door again. I just wanna talk to you. Please listen to what I have to say."

Killian: "Why would I do that?"

Cuddy: "Please, Killian."

Killian: "Don't call me that."

Cuddy: "But it's your name."

Killian: "Yeah, but no one calls me that except my Swan. Its Hook for everyone else."

Cuddy: "I won't call you that. Its not a pretty name. Why would you wanna be called that anyway?"

Killian: "Its none of your business. If you want me to listen to what you have to say, you're going to listen to me too. This is my house. I make the orders, you follow them."

She nodded, so I stepped aside and let her enter the house. We went to the kitchen together and sat down on the table. I got my rum since I will really need it, if she actually plans to convince me, that I'm her son. I'm not though.

Killian: "So you wanted to talk. Then talk."

Cuddy: "As you know, in your mother even though you seem to not believe me. But that doesn't change that I am in fact your mother, Killian."

I look at her with annoyance and anger. If looks could kill, she'd be dead by now.

Cuddy: "I came here to convince you of that. Since you won't believe me when I tell you things, I brought you something. You'll recognize it, I think."

She pulled out a ring from her pocket and gave it to me. Surprisingly I do recognize this. But does that prove, that she's my mom? No. She could've stolen this.

Killian: "How do I know, that you didn't steal this?"

Cuddy: "I can tell you a story about it. When you and your brother were still small, I always told you, that this ring is an heirloom of my family. I also always told you, that one day I am going to give this to one of you, so that you can give it tk your true love."

I remember her stories about the ring clearly like it was yesterday. It was always the only time me and Liam got to spend time with our mom. Dad always made us watch him work, so that one day we could do it for him.

Killian: "Mom?"

She smiles and there are a lot unshead tears forming in her eyes. I stand up and walk over to her, hugging her tightly. I missed her so much.

After our hug she pulls away from me and we sit down again, but this time next to each other. She smiles at me and never lets go of my hand.

Cuddy: "So what have you been up to since my 'death'"

Killian: "Are you sure that you wanna know? Its not pretty."

Cuddy: "I don't care. I wanna know how you've been. I missed out on so much of you life. I wanna at least know what haopened, when i couldn't be there for you."

So I tell her every little detail of my long life. I tell from Neverland, Liam, being a pirate, Gold, Milah and finally about Emma and how she's changed me.

Cuddy: "So you really do love her, huh?"

Killian: "Very."

My mom smiles at me and takes away her hand from mine. She grabs the ring, that is still lying on the table and places it in my hand.

Cuddy: "Then I guess, that I know exactly where this belongs."

Killian: "You're giving me the family heirloom?"

Cuddy: "Yeah. As promised."

Killian: "I dont know...."

Cuddy: "You don't wanna marry her?"

Killian: "I do want to marry her, bit I'm not so sure how she would react if I proposed to her. She's been through a lot. Also I would have to ask her dad for his blessing and he isn't exactly my biggest fan."

Cuddy: "Don't worry. Its her decision. Not his. And she won't be the problem. I've seen the way she looks at you. Its the same way you look at her."
