10 years later

God it's been what nearly 12 years since I've seen Emma, I've finally started to give up hope. Elsa and I traveled to so many different islands, went on countless expeditions and came out empty handed. My Emma, my love, is gone forever.

I'm in the dinning hall with Elsa and Aqua and we are all just sitting together enjoying breakfast. That's when Elsa clears her throat. "Is there something wrong dear?" I ask and she smiles. "Well you know that it's our lovely Aqua's 16th birthday in two weeks." I nod and look at Aqua. "My princess, 16 years already?" Aqua nods. "And what that means is that we will have to throw a grand ball in her honor, of course it won't compare to her 21st but this will be significant after all." I nod.

"Of course, invite the whole kingdom, everyone must celebrate my daughters 16th birthday." Aqua smiles. "Thank you dad," she says as she comes over and gives me a kiss on the cheek. "And don't worry husband of mine, I will be in charge of everything." I smile. "Thanks dear." She smiles. "Well if you'll excuse me Aqua, husband of mine, I will go and start with the preparations." I nod.

She walks away and I sigh. Aqua sits back down and gives me a glare. "Dad?" "What?" "Why don't you have a child with Elsa?." I gasp. "What?" She nods. "It's just I really want a little brother or sister, I'm alone here." I sigh. "Aqua you know, that.." She nods. "I know you still love my mom but dad you haven't seen her since I was 2, I don't even have a memory of her." I sigh.

"Sweetie, I'm sorry I can't, I love your mother." She nods. "Well can you tell me more about her?" I nod. "Well she's just like you, you have her spirit and heart." She smiles. "Oh she loved you so much." She nods. "I wish I could meet her, it sucks that I sometimes feel that Elsa is my mother instead of her." I sigh.

"I'm sorry sweetie, that was my fault." She shakes her head. "No it wasn't, it was just life." I nod. "Well you best get going you have riding lessons." She nods. "Dad?" I nod. "I love you." I smile. "I love you too." She smiles and walks away. I sat there and thought about what Aqua had said, she wants a little baby brother or sister. I would have been more than happy to give her that if Emma was here.

I made my way out the balcony and stared out to the town and the sea. Maybe I should start a family with Elsa, I mean Emma is gone, I've tried to find her but had no luck. I made my way to the Elsa's drawing room. I opened the door and I see her gasping as she was looking down at the table. I see she nodded at the maid and the maid walked away.

"What is it dear?" She smiles. "You're never going to guess.." I smile. "Wait before you start, I want to..." I go up and I kiss her. She gasps and kisses me. "Let's have a family," I say and she backs away. "What?" I nod. "Yes you deserve an heir too, so why not?" She smiles. I start to kiss her and made my way to her neck. That's when she pushes me away.

I stood there completely baffled. "Elsa what's wrong?" She sighs. "As much as I would love that, you can't." I sigh. "Why?" "I found Emma." I gasp. "What?" She nods. "I was gathering intel and apparently some people did see your ship go down in the storm and they more or less can give us new clues as to where the island is at." I smile.

"Are you serious Elsa?" She smiles. "Yes I told you I would keep my promise." I smile the sigh. "God Elsa you deserve someone better than me." She smiles. "No you've been nothing but good to me Killian." I smile. "Well let's get going, maybe we we can bring Emma home before Aqua's birthday." I smile. "Thank you Elsa." She nods.

"I'll go prepare everything my husband, you go let Aqua know and so she can prepare for the voyage." I nod and give her a kiss. "Thank you." She nods then walks away. I make my way down to the stables and I see Aqua in her riding gear and is brushing her horses hair.

"Sweetie, I have good news." She smiles. "You will let me go out with Tyler?" I give her a straight face. "No, never, you will never go out with him." She sighs. "Well it was a worth a try." I shake my head. "Like I was saying I think Elsa has found the location of your mother." She gasps.

"Really?" I nod. "We will prepare a ship and make our way over there." She smiles. "When?" I smile. "As soon as we get everything ready." She jumps. "Finally after so long I will meet my real mother," she says as she looks at her bracelet. "I know I don't know her but I can't wait to meet her." I smile.

"She will love you my dear Aqua, so go on and ride, I will tell your maid to prepare your stuff for the voyage." She smiles and gets on the saddle. I walk both of them out and she rides off. I smile. Finally a glimpse of hope, now I can be reunited with my love, my Emma.
