Chapter 16: Dimensions

Killian's P.O.V

"Who's your father?" I asked. The girl looked at me and smiled sadly. Gods, that smile reminded me of my brother. It was odd, looking at her. It was like I was watching both Emma and Liam's ... Or perhaps my... Smile.

"I'm not too sure you're ready to know, Killian," she said, walking towards me, "I wouldn't want to mess up the past. Oh right, I forgot to mention that, didn't I? I'm from the future,"

"But... That's only been done once," David said. "That doesn't mean it can't be done again. Fifteen years in the future," the girl, Annabelle, replied. "To answer you question, Killian, you. You're my father," she said.

I dropped the sword that I had in my hand, and as it clattered to the ground, I heard David gasp beside me, and then I heard another voice, Emma's, behind us. "What?!?"

Emma's P.O.V

I decided that I'd had enough of sitting around all day. After I found out how I woke up, I walked in to my room, changed out of the sweat pants I'd been wearing and put jeans on. Then, I went over to the door, took my red leather jacket and left the loft, leaving Belle in charge of the kids.

She said she could handle them, and I needed to help. I felt like, between spending a week hiding after Killian was taken hostage and then being "dead" for a three days, I was being a pretty useless saviour.

I found Killian and David in the middle of the street, talking to a young girl. She looked around Henry's age, maybe slightly older. I didn't hear what they were saying at first, but when I got closer, I heard the girl say, "-Killian, you. You're my father," my jaw dropped. Killian sword clattered to the ground.

"What?!?" I exclaimed. David turned around quickly. "Emma! Wha-what are you doing here?" He asked. I ignored his question. "Who are you?" I demanded. The girl looked like she was about to cry.

"Mom?" She said, a single tear streaming down her cheek. "Excuse me? Who the hell are you?!?" I asked again. "My- my name's Annabelle. I'm your... I'm your daughter. I'm from the future..." She trailed off and started crying.

I just stared at her, my eyes opening wider in realization. She had just told Killian that he was her father. She just called me mom. "You're- we have a child?" I looked at Killian in awe.

Annabelle nodded and I instantly felt the need to walk up to her and hug her, to tell her that her mom was right here, that I'd protect her. I did just that. "I haven't seen you in seven years, I'm sorry I burst out like that," she sobbed.

Killian, who had fallen to his knees in shock slowly got up and joined us. The three of us hugged, while David looked on, a proud expression on his face. I took Annabelle by the shoulders. "What are you doing here?" I asked softly. She sighed and told us the story.

*********

"So... In your timeline, Killian gets killed tomorrow?" I asked. Annabelle nodded. The three of us were sitting on a bench in the park. "Wait... Swan, if she says I die tomorrow are you...?" Killian trailed off, knowing full-well that I knew what he meant.

"Killian! I don't know! It was yesterday!" I hit his arm lightly. "Whoa, okay, I don't want to hear about you guys doing that... I'm gonna..." Annabelle started to get up. I laughed and walked beside her. "So you came to save him?" I asked.

"Well, his death led up to everything that I just told you, so yes. I figure, if I save him, I save you all," she sighed. "It's okay. We'll stop it from happening. How exactly does he die, sweetie?" I touched her cheek gently. She was tearing up again.
