How Could I Forget You

Chapter 8

Hook's POV

I have to figure out why Emma would leave like that. She must've left something that could tell us why she left. I try to think back at what she said on my ship. 'Um, hi Hook.' She seemed nervous. Like she had news but didn't know how to tell me. It was about the Neverland kiss but it was also something else. 'I was wondering if I could talk to you.' I already knew what she wanted to talk about, yet she changed it to Henry. 'Well about, um wow this is a lot harder than I though. About um-' her father interrupted her before she could finish. It was hard to say. If it was really about Henry it wouldn't be too hard. Talking about the kiss would've been a little harder for her but not that hard. That can only mean one thing. She came to me to tell her she was leaving. Maybe she wanted me to stop her. Or maybe she wanted me to come with her, or find her when the time was right. That hug. That goodbye. She knew it would be our last and yet she was still able to put a smile on her face. I just wish I knew why she left. 'The potion can be broken with true loves kiss.' Rumplestiltskin's words play over and over in my mind as I walk back to my ship. 'Can be broken with true loves kiss' All I have to do is find her. 'True loves kiss' And kiss her.

Neal's POV

"Dad?" Pans says. David and Mary Margret look at me confused. "What?" I say my gun still aimed on him. "What are you waiting for shoot him." My dad says. "Don't. Please. I'm Henry. Pan he switched our bodies." He says. God right now I'm wishing I had Emma's lying power. "You expect me to believe that? How do I know this isn't another one of your tricks?" I retort. "Don't listen to him." I would really appreciate it if my father would stop talking. "No it's not." He's says looking at my dad. He turns to me. "He did it right before Mr. Gold captured me in the box I swear." He tries to step closer. "Stop! Don't come any closer." "Shoot him!" There goes my father. "Maybe he's telling the truth." David says. "Hook said something about Emma having a hunch about Henry. Maybe that's why she has this hunch." "Maybe that's what he wants you to believe. If he steps over this line we're all dead." My father retorts. "Alright." I say my eyes never leaving pans. "If you are really Henry. Prove it. Tell me something only Henry will know." "I-I" he stammers "I got trapped in the mines, I tried blowing up a well, I like hot cocoa with cinnamon." "This proves nothing." My father says. "He's right Neal." Mary Margret says. "Henry could've told pan all this in Neverland." "Pan might know facts but I life is made up of more than that, there are moments. He can't possibly know all of them. Emma, the first time you two connected, not met but connected. Do you remember that?" He slightly smiles. "Yeah." "Where was it?" "My castle. Right after she came to StoryBrooke." "And what did you tell her?" "That I knew why she gave me up." "Why?" "Because she wanted to give me my best chance." I lower my gun. "Henry." "Dad." We walk over to each other and hug. Like a father and son should. This is Henry. This is my son.
