Wish

Chapter 6 Occupy

"Are you hungry?" Regina offered. "Should we check the ship for another message from Papa?" Molly asked. "We can do that today," Killian assured. 

Regina and Killian didn't have a chance to discuss anything as they were keeping a close eye on Molly. Killian would have taken Regina aside if it was something urgent about the man he was able to at least see or possibly engage with. 

"So you were alone with Henry?" Molly inquired. "Yes, for ten years," Regina confirmed. "And you're three hundred and never had any kids?" Molly asked Killian.

"Uhhh not that I know of," Killian joked. Regina rolled her eyes at him. "Right, pirates, plundering and pillaging," Molly stated. Killian looked at her a bit startled. "What? I'm sixteen, I know how men can be with women," Molly said. 

"Ah, I see," Killian nodded. "Especially pirates," Molly nodded. "She has a point," Regina defends. 

"Right, well no doubt that's why your Papa probably isn't in a hurry to marry you off," Killian said. "So are you going to have one?" Molly asked.

"Have what?" Regina shook her head. "A baby, you know you two, a Molly," Molly smiled. "Oh, umm, well funny we actually started talking about it, when you showed up," Regina informed her. 

"Really?" Molly smiled. "Yeah, well if our wish versions had a Molly, almost seems like we're destined to as well," Killian smiled. 

"Good," Molly smiled. 

With Killian taking Molly to check the ship for the bottle, Regina felt she should go look into some things that Molly described when her mother was killed.

"Well what did you figure out?" Zelena and Emma both met Regina in her vault. 

"Well a bright light suggests something similar to true love, which of course would make sense given it was her mother," Regina said. 

"You're thinking it's more than that?" Emma asked. "Well I'm thinking it was some sort of protective spell brought on by her sacrifice," Regina said. 

"So what? The child is immortal?" Zelena asked. "It would be something very rare, but it's possible," Regina said. "Does she have magic then?" Emma asked. "I'm not sure, I have to find out," Regina said. 

"Ha-Ha!" Molly mocked on the ship, as she twirled around catching Killian's sword, and flying over him holding onto the rope on the main mast. "Bloody hell, child is good," he muttered. 

Of course he wasn't going his full force on the petite girl, but all the moves, she was indeed besting him. 

"Come on old man!" Molly mocked. "Oh really? You talk to your Papa at home like that?" He playfully scolded. 

"Well you may not have grey yet, but we know you're over two hundred," She teases cutely. Killian moved forward, and Molly had every inch of the ship memorized just like him and her Papa of course. 

Regina showed up at the docks and saw the pair clanging swords together. 

Her heart somewhat skipped a beat and she couldn't decipher if it was because of the idea of having a daughter of their own, or seeing Molly so joyous. 

She paced towards the ship, and stopped, hearing a shuffle towards the boathouse, and something fall, making a clanging sound. 

Turning back, she felt the need to investigate. Pushing open the boathouse, she looked around, and didn't see anyone, but her instincts were telling her something was off.

Looking around a bit, it remained silent and it was indeed empty from what she saw. 

Deciding nothing was there, she began heading out and heard a clang as she stepped. Looking down she lifted up a small dagger. She furrowed her brow examining it, feeling nervous about it just laying there. 

She assumed this dagger falling was the noise she heard after the shuffling of someone. She peaks out the doors, and sees of course a perfect view of the Jolly Roger where Killian and Molly are. 

Regina realizes that someone is clearly after Molly, or Killian for all she knew. 

She heads to the Jolly Roger and paints on a happy face as she walks to them. "Well besting him yourself?" Regina asks. "The child is very good," Killian said. 

"That didn't answer my question," Regina muses. "I think I bested him, but he won't give up," Molly said. "You didn't disarm me child," Killian mocks. "I backed you into the corner," Molly argues. 

"Fine, you bested me," He says. "How many people is that now?" Regina asked. "Listen I can count who has bested me on one... you know what I mean.." Killian scoffs. Molly giggled. 

"Did your Papa write back?" Regina asked. "Yes, he said clearly he won't worry and will probably have all white hair soon enough, and that he hopes I hurry back," Molly said. 

"I wanted to try something," Regina said. "What?" Molly asked. "Here just give me your hand," Regina offered. 

Killian watched as Regina took Molly's hand in hers, and had a thoughtful expression on her face. "What are you doing?" Molly asked. "Just seeing something," Regina assured her. 

Flashback -- A Week before (when Molly arrived) 

"What are you doing up?" Killian asked, as he sat in the kitchen of Regina's. "Hard to sleep when she's not here." Henry said, placing the book down. 

"So you looking at her Evil half or her?" Killian asked nodding towards the book. "Both," Henry admitted. 

"I can't sleep myself," Killian said. 

"Where do you think they were sent to?" Henry asked. "I'm not sure, all the realms out there that exist, and alternate realms, anything is possible," Killian said. 

"Yeah, think they'll be back soon?" Henry asked. "I'm sure they will, the pair usually get through things like this," Killian assured.

"Actually, right now, maybe," Killian observes the light in the distance in the forest. 

Killian and Henry headed out to meet Regina and Emma as the light was indeed the wardrobe bringing them back from Wish Realm.

As Killian and Henry left and shut the door behind them, the book shook softly on the counter, and flipped open, pages moving in a flipping motion on their own, and lighting up, before becoming silent, and shutting again by itself.
