No Way Home

Chapter 2: Killian's Plan

Killian's POV

I woke up the next morning determined to find a way to stop Emma feeling so worried. We were staying at Snow and Charming's castle until tomorrow so I was sure that I would be able to find something for Emma to do.

I could see Hope moving around in her crib, she always woke up early just like me and completely unlike Emma. I got up carefully so that I didn't wake up Emma. Walking over to Hope I saw her smiling up at me.

"Hello princess." I picked her up out of her crib utterly mesmerised by how adorable she was. She was the spitting image of Emma and there was no other way I would like it. She had beautiful blond hair and the most amazing green eyes. "How can we get Mummy to stop worrying, huh princess?"

She looked up at me with the biggest smile. Then without warning she scrunched up her face and started crying.

"Shh princess, please." I wasn't sure what to do but I did know that I didn't want Hope to wake Emma up. "Please, you don't want Mummy to wake up do you. What is it, what do you want?"

Emma's POV

I wake up to the sound of Hope crying. Preparing my self to get out of bed I hear Killian talking to Hope.

"Darling I know you want Mummy but this is not the way to get her to stop worrying. If you wake her up then I will have to work extra hard later. So please could you shh for Daddy?

I had to stop myself from laughing. Hope was almost two months old and Killian still wasn't quite sure how to handle her when she was crying. But I was intrigued by what he said about working extra hard later.

I sit up in bed just as Killian turns around.

"Emma. I am sorry did Hope wake you up? I told you to be quiet so that we didn't wake her up Hope."

"She did but its ok. She probably is just hungry, is that right baby?"

I took Hope from Killian and started feeding her.

"You are trying to stop me from worrying?" I ask Killian, wanting to know what he was talking to Hope about.

"Well I thought we could have a nice relaxing day here before we go home tomorrow." he replied.

"Ok so what do you have in mind?" I want to know exactly what he is planning to do.

"Well I thought we could go to the library with Hope. They have found a bunch of books about The Land Without Magic so I thought maybe we could look through them. I know all about the history of the land I grew up in but I don't know too much about the land you grew up in."

"Ok. That sounds cool. I don't know too much about that world either, I never really paid attention."

I finished feeding Hope, then me and Killian get dressed and go to find some food before we got to the library.

Killian's POV

After we had eaten we started wandering to the library. It took us a while due to the size of the castle but eventually we got there. We walked in and looked around in awe. There were so many books here. I looked at the rows of books looking for one about The Land Without Magic when Emma called me.

"Killian, come here."

I walked over to where she and Hope were standing.

"Look, its a history of monarchs around the world."

"Oh that sounds cool." I opened the book to a random page and began to read. "Crowned on 10th July 1559, Francis II became king of France after his father Henry II was killed in a jousting accident. He ruled with his wife Mary, Queen of Scots until his death on 5th December 1960."

"I've  always wanted to go to France." Emma said.

"Really?" I asked her, she had never told me this.

"Yeah. Everybody went at some point it was the cool place to go."

"Well maybe at some point I can take you."

"You would do that?"

"Of course. You, me and Hope can all go and maybe you could invite Henry as well."

"I love you." she said, kissing me.

Emma's POV

At that moment the door opened and Henry walked in, followed closely by Ella and Lucy.

"Hey Mum." Henry said spotting us.

"Hi kid. Watcha doing?" I asked.

"Lucy wanted to find some new books to read, so I thought we could see what they had."

Lucy started running towards us, so I gave Hope to Killian so that I cold give her a big hug.

"Hi Grandma. Is that Hope?"

"Yeah, you want to see her?" I asked.

"Yes please."

I took Hope from Killian and walked over to a chair with Lucy. I sat down next to her and helped her hold Hope.

I looked up from my daughter and granddaughter to see Killian and Henry deep in conversation.

Henry's POV

I walked up to Killian as Mum took Lucy to see Hope.

"Is everything ok with Mum?" I asked.

"She's worried because with the realms being united she thinks something bad is going to happen and she is not going to be able to protect Hope. And she is worried because she missed everything with you and now she gets to experience it with Hope but she can't stop wondering what it would have been like if she had kept you."

"Oh, right."

"Hey Henry, I have an idea. Could you watch Hope for a bit and I will take your mum on a walk."

"Sure. Killian you can tell my mum I don't blame her for missing my life, she just wanted to protect me just like she will with Hope. And she will be the best mum to my sister because she is already the best mum to me."

"I will tell her that lad, and thank you for the help."

Killian's POV

I walked over to Emma to tell her my idea.

"Hey love. Hi Lucy. Emma, Henry is going to look after Hope for a bit while we go for a walk."

"Ok. Are you sure its safe?"

"Henry can look after her and he will make sure nothing happens to her."

"I can help protect her Grandpa." Lucy said.

"I know you can lass." I told her.

Emma got up and walked over to Henry. She didn't seem to want to leave Hope but I knew that going for a nice walk would help. She gave Hope to Henry, kissing her on the head before grabbing my hand as we walked out the door.
