Flashback - Storybrooke - Years Ago...

On the Jolly Roger, Killian trained Henry in sword fighting. Brooke stood at the helm with Alicia by her side, watching as Henry got the upper hand.

"Always, watch the blade, I got it," Henry said.

Emma arrived on the ship with August, "Wow, I'm impressed. You fight like your grandfather," Emma.

"Mom, we're practising," Henry said.

"Auntie Em! Uncle A!" Alicia ran down the downstairs to the deck and ran into August's arms.

August picked her up, "Hello, you," August said.

Killian disarmed Henry, "Actually, we just finished. As I told you, always keep your eyes on the blade," Killian said.

"What's the point? I'm never gonna be good enough," Henry said and walked off.

Emma walked to Brooke and the twins looked at Henry as the men joined them, "What's going on with him lately?" Emma asked.

"I think you know, Em... He's almost grown," Brooke said.

"He's about to leave home, isn't he?" Emma said.

"Aye," Killian said and wrapped his arms around Brooke's waist.

"I'm gonna go talk to him," Emma said.

"What, to stop him?" August asked as he held Alicia in his arms.

"I missed so much already, I don't want to..." Emma said.

"This isn't an ending, Emma... There's more to come," August said.

"But we don't know for sure, what if I don't get a second chance?" Emma said.

"It's gonna be okay, we have something to make things a little less terrifying," Brooke said and looked at Killian, "If you're okay to part with it?"

"For you, aye, I'll part with it," Killian kissed her cheek and walked over to a chest and pulled out a small bottle.

"A little bottle of rum? Because I wouldn't say no," Emma said.

"It's a little bottle of magic," Brooke said.

"You speak your message in here, add the name of your favourite pirate, drop it in the water before you can say 'Yo-ho-ho', it'll find the person you seek," Killian said.

"A message in a bottle," Emma said.

"Yep," Brooke said, "Ain't he sweet at times?"

"Watch it," Killian smirked at Brooke who giggled.

"Thank you, hook," Emma said.

"Look, he's grown into a fine young lad and he's lucky to have a mother like you," Killian said to Emma.

"He's lucky to have a pirate like you as an uncle," Emma said.

"Thanks, lass," Killian said, "He's gonna be fine," Killian said.

Brooke walked to them with August and looked at Emma, "Trust me Em, you've done amazing with the years you've had with him," Brooke smiled, "And I know, the four of us will be here again with Alicia."

"Oh, don't talk about Licia leaving the ship, Lyn," Killian said and the other three laughed at him.
