Note: So this definitely won't be happening in season 7. I still have no idea how the time jump, or older Henry and Lucy are going to work, so I didn't even attempt to work any of that in. I just really wanted to show how Emma and Killian will always be connected, no matter what, and will always find their way back to each other. I am hoping the show finds a way to demonstrate this in season 7 somehow. So that's what the goal of this fic was. Hope you enjoy it! ~Steph

...One Call Away: Part 1/1...

Killian felt the sun on his face, beckoning him awake. He slowly rolled over and pried one eye open. His eyes scanned the small, plain bedroom. Brow furrowing, he sat up and surveyed his surroundings more thoroughly. His brain told him this was his bedroom, but something didn't feel right. He looked down at his left hand and stared at it for a long moment, as if it was foreign to him. He lifted his right hand in front of his face and wiggled his bare ring finger. Why did it feel like something was missing from it?

Killian shook his head, feeling more disoriented by the moment. Was he hung over? He couldn't recall drinking anything. Perhaps he had blacked out. He reached over to the night table and picked up his wallet. He opened it and stared at it for a long moment, as if seeing it for the first time. His eyes moved to the license inside. It read Devin Cooper.

Devin Cooper. Devin Cooper. The name rolled around in his head. He knew it was his name. It had to be. The picture alongside it was certainly him. Then why did it feel so unfamiliar?

Emma was living a nightmare. She had gone to sleep feeling like the luckiest woman in the world. She was happily married to an amazing man with whom she shared two incredible children. But when she woke up the following morning, her world was turned upside down.

Killian was gone. She frantically searched the house, called his cell numerous times, visited all of his normal haunts, and called all of their family and friends, but no one had seen him. And, to make matters worse, Regina and Rumple were also missing. Everyone guessed it was another curse, but who cast it was unknown. And, at the moment, Emma didn't care who was responsible this time. She just wanted her husband back.

She stared at her wedding ring as she squeezed her eyes closed, tears burning her lids. She could still hear the wails of their eight year old daughter and six year old son as she explained to them that daddy was missing. Killian was an amazing father, just like she always knew he would be. They had built a wonderful life together. Ten happy years filled with incredible memories.

Of course, it hadn't all been smooth sailing. There had been the usual curses to break and villains to battle. Just like any marriage, they had their hard times. But they were few and far between and they always worked through them together, emerging stronger than before.

And then, in an instant, he was ripped away from her, from them. Their family was torn apart. Emma didn't have any idea where her husband was, but she knew one thing for sure. She would stop at nothing until they were reunited.

A sudden thought hit her and she jumped up from the bed. She hurried over to his chest that sat in front of the window and knelt down in front of it. She lifted the top and dug through it. A smile slipped across her lips when she found what she was looking for: the conch shell Killian had used to communicate with her when Gideon had banished him.
