More Than Rubies

Chapter 25

(Emma's P.O.V.)

My face goes pale. This situation is all to familiar. My mother is pregnant. I finally found my real parents and they are already replacing me like my step parents always did. I walk out of the apartment.

"Emma!" Mary Margaret calls," what's wrong?"

I keep walking.

I'm happy for them, but can't see them right now. As I run down the road, Hook sees me.

"Swan?" he calls.

I ignore him and run until I get to the beach. I sit on the bench.

I probably wouldn't be reacting to this much if it weren't for Zelena. If it weren't for what she said. She said all my fears would come to life. How did she manage to get such perfect timing though? It's like she knew...

I put my head down in my hands. I can't deal with any of this right now. Then I feel the presence of someone sitting next to me on the bench. Hook.

"You alright Swan?" he asks.

"I'm fine," I mumble in a tone that says I don't wanna talk to anyone right now.

"See, I know you well enough to tell when you are okay or not. And right now? Definitely not," Hook says.

I don't respond.

"Swan, what's going on?" he asks.

He uses his hook to push up my chin which forces me to look him in the eye. I sigh.

"It's Zelena," I begin," she paid me a visit and told me some of we plans. But first, she found out my deepest fears through trickery. Fears that I haven't told anyone about. Ever."

His face is questioning and so persuading, so I decide to tell him.

"My fear that I will be hurt by the people I care about just like all the times before. The fear that I will be left alone," I say quieter now.

Hook nods in understanding and gestures for me to continue as if he can tell that there is more.

"And afterwards, she told me that she would turn my fears into reality," I continue, "Mary Margaret came and told me some big news. She's pregnant! See, when I was young, I had a family until they had their own kid and gave me up. And I just- I can't shake the feeling that the same thing is gonna happen again. That I will be left alone."

Hook looks into my eyes and grabs my hand.

"As long as I'm alive, you'll never have to be alone," he says.

I smile a bit through my tears and he pulls me in for a hug.

"Thank you," I whisper.

After a minute, I pull away.

"Well, I think I owe my parents an explanation," I say and giggle," I kinda overreacted..."

Hook laughs a little.

"See you later," he says as I walk away.

(Hook's P.O.V.)

I watch as Emma walks away. I'd say I did a pretty good job comforting her. She seems happy, and as long as she's happy, I am too.

When I get off the bench and turn around to go back, I hear whispers.

"Go," a familiar English accent says.

Then I see a man walking out from behind a wall.

"Hello, Killian," he says.

I look at him, stunned. Could that really be? It can't though. But it has to be him.

"Father?" I call.

He nods.
