Captain Swan One-Shots

A Different Happy Ending: A New Beginning - Part 6a

"Well, Swan, it seems myself and Gideon managed to edge you and Alena out after all," Killian teased as he grinned at his wife.

Emma rolled her eyes and shook her head. She then told him, "You would want to brag, wouldn't you?"

"You'd do the same," he pointed out as he wrapped his arms around her waist. She tilted her head in thought for a moment.

With a chuckle, she conceded, "I guess I would," draping her arms around his neck.

Killian only hummed before he kissed her forehead. Alena then chimed in, "I think it's safe to

say that we're all a little competitive," snaking her arms around Gideon's waist.

"Some of us more than others," he teased as he nudged her shoulder with his. Alena rolled her eyes.

"Careful, m'boy, you may come to regret those words," Killian joked as he shot his daughter a wry grin. She rolled her eyes while Emma swatted his chest.

Gideon chuckled before he replied, "I don't think she'd stay mad at me for too long."

"I'm right here," Alena began, trying to sound annoyed. However, a smile soon broke out across her features.

"But he's right - I love him too much," planting a sweet kiss on his cheek.

Emma and Killian smiled at the couple. She then asked them, "What are you guys gonna do now?"

"Hmm," Alena began with a tilt of her head, "Not sure yet. But I think I wanna grab a snack - I'm kind of hungry."

"So we should be on the lookout for nachos and corn dogs," Gideon supplied as he squeezed her hip.

She only hummed before Emma spoke, "I think I might see if I can drag Killian to another game."

"You say that in jest, but I actually quite enjoyed myself," he told her as a smile made its way across his features.

Emma looked at him with narrowed eyes for a moment. She then surmised, "You seemed like you were, but I thought it might have been for our benefit."

"Perhaps at first," Killian admitted, "But once I truly got the hang of it, I realized it was rather fun."

With a smile, Emma said, "Glad you enjoyed yourself." She then added, "Maybe you'll feel the same about ring toss or whack-a-mole."

Alena scrunched her nose in thought as she spoke, "Hmm, I don't think we tried whack-a-mole. We may have to give it a shot," turning to look up at her boyfriend.

Gideon smiled at her as he replied, "I think we just might." She smiled back as she ran her hand up and down his side.

"Oh!" she exclaimed, "Before or after we eat?" He couldn't help but grin as he answered, "I guess that depends on how hungry you are."

Alena let out a giggle, and her parents soon joined with chuckles of her own. When they sobered, Killian spoke, "Whatever you two decide, there's no doubt it will be immensely fun."

Gideon began to reply when Alena threw her arms around her father's neck. While embraced, she simply told him, "Thank you."

Without hesitation or a question, Killian replied, "You're welcome, love," as he ran his fingers through her hair.

When they pulled away, Emma and Gideon both wore smiles. Hers remained as she suggested, "Maybe the four of us - five counting Henry - could have dinner sometime. Either Granny's or at the house - I'm no Martha Stewart, but I'm still a pretty good cook."
