No Way Home

Chapter 1: The Truth

Emma's POV

"Emma!" 

I heard Killian calling my name, but I was so focused on Hope that I didn't say anything.

"Emma! Where are you?"

"I'm here." I said.

"Why are you out here, love?" Killian asked.

"Hope was fussy and I just wanted some peace and quiet." I replied.

"Ok. Well everyone is trying to find you."

"They are?"

"Yes they were worried for you and no one knew where you had gone."

At that moment Hope started crying. I could here other people calling my name now so we got up and started walking back to the party to celebrate Regina's coronation. As we walking I rocked Hope to try and get her to stop crying.

"Emma!" My mum came running towards me. "There you are. Where did you go?"

"I went outside to be with Hope. She was crying and I just needed a bit of time away from all the noise." Killian put his arm around me.

"It's ok, love" Killian tried to reassure me.

"I'm actually quite tired and I should be getting Hope to sleep, so I'm going to head upstairs."

"Ok. Goodnight Emma."

"Goodnight. Congratulations again Regina" I then walked upstairs to the bedroom me and Killian were staying in with Hope.

Killian's POV

"I'm gonna go check on Emma."

"Ok. Thank you for finding her Killian." Snow looked at me. "I don't know what she would do without you."

I started walking upstairs wondering what was going on with Emma. She had been so worried since Hope was born. We hadn't had any real villains since the Black Fairy and any that we had she had sorted them out before very long. I guessed it was just because she wanted to keep Hope safe but I already knew she was already doing that, and as much as she constantly told me she had no idea of what to do with Hope since she didn't raise Henry, she was the best mother to Hope.

I knocked on the door of our bedroom not wanting to barge in.

"Who is it?" I heard Emma call.

"It's me, love" I answered.

She opened the door.

"Killian. You don't need to knock this is your room too." She said opening the door wide enough so that I could come in, then shutting it behind me.

"I wanted to knock because I didn't want to come in if you didn't want me here."

"I will always want you here. You are my husband." She said giving me a kiss.

"Are you ok, love" I wanted her to tell me what was happening. I knew something was going on because she is an open book. I had finally broken down all of her walls and I was left with only the most amazing person.

"I'm ok." She saw my face and sat down on the bed. "I just want to protect Hope. I know that there haven't been any real villains, but with the realms united who knows what could happen and I don't want anything to happen to Hope."

"I understand love. Protecting our daughter is a very important job, but if anything happens you have to remember that I am here too. I can protect her as well. I will protect you and our family with all that I am."

"Just don't die again." She says.

"I will try not to."

I wrap my arm around her and she snuggles into me.

"Is there anything else, love?"

"Well, there is one other thing. I've been thinking about it for a while."

"What is it Swan"

"It's Henry. I just feel so bad. I missed him growing up, then he found me and we spent a few years together but then he left to find his story and now he is so grown up. He has a wife and his own daughter. I missed everything. I missed him growing up and I missed him becoming an adult. I try not to think about it, because now I have Hope and I will get to experience everything with her. But I can't help imagining what it would have been like if I had kept him."

At this point Emma was crying into me. I ran my hand through her hair trying to calm her down.

"Emma. Henry doesn't blame you for giving him up. He understands why you did it. And he understand why you could not stay in the other realm with him.  He didn't want you to be in danger. He loves his sister and I know he will try to keep her safe as well. He loves that you get to raise Hope for her whole life." I lifted her head up so that I could look into her eyes. "Swan you are the best mother to Henry, and he knows it. He knows that if you could have kept him you would have but it wasn't the right choice for you or him."

"I just wish I could have kept him."

"But then you wouldn't have your life now. You wouldn't have met me. You wouldn't have Hope. And you wouldn't have your family."

"Your right. I may wish that I could have kept Henry, but you and Hope are two of the best things that have every happened to me and I wouldn't change that for anything. I love you."

She kisses me and we fall onto the bed. I guess we were making more noise than we thought because Hope started crying. Emma got up to go see what Hope wanted.

Emma's POV

I walked over to Hope's crib.

"Hello, princess. Mummy's here." I pick her up out of her crib and walk over to the chair in the corner. I sit there rocking her in my arms to try and get her back to sleep. I lookup from Hope and see Killian still on the bed looking over at us. I stand up and walk over to the bed, sitting down next to Killian. I snuggle up to him and he puts his arm around me. 

"I love you Swan."

"I love you too."
