Emma's POV

6:33 PM, The clock read.

"Crap," I mumbled before jamming all the reports into their files. After placing the files in my desk, I quickly walked out and locked the door.

I jogged towards my yellow bug and slammed the door once I was in. I turned the key in the ignition and drove out of the parkway.

Regina's words still haunted my mind as I drove. If only I knew who the woman was, this wouldn't have happened. If only I listened to Killian and left her there. To die.

I closed my eyes. No that isn't right, I tried to tell myself, Allowing someone to die isn't right.

"You're just like your mother, never thinking of consequences."

"Let's just hope to hell that you didn't bring anything else back."

I had a sick feeling in my stomach. "Let's just hope to hell that you didn't bring anything else back." The words echoed in my head. What if I did bring something else back? What if something from Rumplestiltskin's lair got sucked into the time portal with us? Something so dangerous that even the Dark One couldn't handle?

I shook the thought away as I parked near Mom's apartment. I hastily walked inside the building and walked into her room.

She looked up from little Prince Neal and smiled confusedly at me, "Hi Emma?"

"Hey." I breathed as I took off my jacket, "Is Henry back?"

"No, Killian's hogging him," Mom joked but then frowned, "Is everything alright?"

No, I wanted to say, I destroyed Regina's last hope of happiness by bringing back a woman from the past who ended up being Robin Hood's late wife.

And I might've brought something else from the past.

"Yeah," I lied, rubbing my eyes, "Everything's fine."

She gave me a worried look before someone banged on the door. I went to answer it, only to find Henry soaking wet and Killian grinning mischievously.

"Hello, beautiful," Killian said.

I sighed, "Henry go take a shower."

He ran inside and disappeared somewhere in the apartment. I turned to face Hook, "Really?"

He shrugged, still grinning, "His idea, not mine."

I rolled my eyes but smiled, "Sure. Well, thanks for watching over him," just as I was about to close the door, Hook held it, "Wait!"

I rose an eyebrow, "What?"

"I, uh," Killian scratched the back of his head, "I was wondering if you wanted to have a drink sometime?" His voice squeaked at the end of the sentence.

I smirked, crossing my arms, "Are you asking me out on a date, Killian Jones?"

"Oh, that's what you guys call it now these days?" Killian mumbled.

I found it adorable how Hook kept avoiding eye contact and blushing. This was the first time I've ever saw him nervous.

"What if I say no?" I began to tease.

"Well, what if I ask Tinkerbell, instead?" Hook mocked my tone.

I laughed, "OK, fine. Tomorrow at 8?"

He grinned before saying, "See you there."

I closed the door with a silly grin plastered on my face.

???? POV

I watched as the one-handed pirate walked out of the apartment building. He walked towards the docks with a grin. Now was my chance to approach him. We were alone and no one would ever know.

But I decided against it. I need more time to think out this plan. And plus, he wasn't the one she wanted. I glanced back at the building he came out of. Maybe people there would give me answers?

No, I thought, Only she knows all the answers.

I decided on following the pirate to the docks. I watched as he looked at the ocean, as if he was expecting something to be there, other than water.

After a while, I sighed, growing bored. He seemed to be thinking about a lot of stuff. I glanced at the building again, and this time, a woman with light hair was walking out.

That's her, I thought.

I dashed down the road and followed the woman as she walked down the street.
