SONORA FEELS! Today the American and Bryological and Lichenological Society hiked a couple different altitudes at Madera Canyon. I quickly gave into my solo-hiker habits and peeled off to do the long loop. It was hot, no doubt, but the shade of mesquite and oaks and ponderosas was just enough and there was plenty of pretty things to occupy my mind. Here’s Cladonia chlorophaea (probably), a colorful baby Mammillaria cactus, the periwinkle blue neck of the Sonoran collared lizard Crotaphytus nebrius, a red flower I don’t know (@waxwingboheme do you know it?) doing tree pose in a big hat, the huge waxy flower of a giant Mammillaria, another red flower I don’t know (halp?), the most perfect Xanthomendoza lichen I’ve ever seen, and me looking super stoked in my new favorite hiking/fieldwork hat. Thanks for selling this perfect hat to me when I was slightly drunk at a beer festival @rmohats #hiking #tucson #rmohats #arizona #mammillaria #cactus #lichens #lichenology #abls #flowers #desert #sonoradesert #mycoblonde #cladonia (at Madera Canyon, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0eoxSBg71x/?igshid=5qwxhncgond0

______________________

The first three weeks in the competition were the hardest. She had to go to New York, where the competition was filmed, she had to let Henry in Boston because he had school and the competition was harder that she imagined. Some of the participants were really good, for example Belle French, but somehow, she managed to stay in so far.

In those weeks they had to pass some tests to demonstrate that they knew what they were doing there. In the first week they had to make a different type of dough each day and at the end of the week 15 participant were out. In the second week they had to make the filling, all kinds of all kinds of flavors and colors and at the end of the week another 20 participants were out. The third week was the hardest. They didn’t filmed all week just one day and in that day they had four hours to make a cake, with rainbow layers, for each layer the filling had to have another taste and the caked had to be covered in a layer of colorful fondant. And of course it had to have a good taste.

Each test was given by one of the members of the jury. The one with the dough was given by Mary Margaret, the one whit the filling by Killian and the last one was given by Mr. Gold which is why it was the hardest and why 35 of the participants left the competition. She was almost one of the 35 who left because she didn’t feel very good that day and her fondant wasn’t put very well on the cake, but when it came to choose between her and a girl from Texas, the jury (convinced by Killian Jones, but she wasn’t supposed to know that) choose her because her cake was better, it had a good taste, the layers and the filling were as Gold wanted them and the fondant was like a rainbow.

Now, in the fourth week, there were just 30 participants of 100 as they were at the beginning of the contest and Emma was one of them.

On Monday, the participants were called at a meeting with Regina. She was the producer of the show and (for reasons Emma didn’t know and didn’t care) she was also the one who presenter of the show.

“Hello. I called you here to explain what will happen next. From now on, there will be three tests for each episode. One of them will be based on your imagination, we’ll give you a receipt or an ingredient and you’ll have a time to make something with them. The second will be given by one of the members of the jury or we will invite someone to give you something to cook. When this will happen, you’ll have not three but four juries, the forth being the one we invite. The third one won’t be for everyone. On the third test will participate three of the participants who weren’t… to good, let’s say, at the other two tests. At the end of this test, one, two or maybe even all of them will leave the competition. Questions?”

Everyone looked at Regina in silence and when no one said anything she continued.

“Okay then. If no one has any questions, you are free. We are starting tomorrow morning at 10.”

Everybody prepared to leave. Emma knew she wanted to ask something to Regina she just didn’t knew if it was the right moment. So she waited until all the participants left and then she went to talk with her.

“Miss Mills?” Regina turned to her with an eyebrow raised.

“Yes Miss Swan?”

“I have a question.”

“Why didn’t you ask when I said? Maybe it’s something the other should hear.”

“It’s more of a personal problem. Please.”

“Ok, fine.” Regina said and made a sign to continue.

“I was wondering if my child can come to visit me?” Emma said softly.

“Miss Swan, you know the rules.”

“I know, I know. But I really miss him. Please.”

“If he’ll come here then the others will want the same. They’ll want their families here with them.” Regina explained to her.

“Please.” Emma tried again.

“I’m sorry, Emma.” And with that Regina started to walk away.

Emma went and sat on a chair. She started to think about Henry and how much she misses him. They talk on Skype when she can, when they finish filming for the day and Henry (who’s staying with David) is awake, but it’s not the same. She misses his hugs, his smiles, him.

Emma was so caught in her thought that she didn't realize when someone sat on the other chair beside her. That’s why she was surprised when she heard Killian talking.

“Are you okay, love?”

Over the week they developed something like a friendship. They talked between takes but never about the show It was mostly Killian who talked and Emma who listened or Killian who flirted and Emma who rolled her eyes at him and Emma who rolled her eyes at him. Ok, maybe she flirted with him for a few times.

“Um, yes.” She said without looking at him.

“You don’t look very well, Swan.” He told her.

“Well, thank you Killian.” She said looking at him this time.

“You know what I mean.” He smiled at her. “What happened Emma?”

“What makes you believe that something happened?”

“Open book, love. Tell me.”

“Umm…”

“Have a little faith, Swan. You can trust me.”

“I miss my son.” She finally said to him.

“He’s in Boston, right?”

“Yes. And I’m here and he’s there and we talk when we can, but I miss him, I miss hugging him and joking with him…”

“Why don’t you tell him to come here?”

“I asked Regina. She said he can’t come because if the others will see him here they will want their loved one here, too.” She said sadly putting her face in the hands and looking at the ground again.

“Bullshit! He is your son, Swan. He should be here with his mother. Regina can’t stop this.”

“I can’t do anything Killian…”

“Hm… We shall see about that.” Killian said winking at her. “Now come, now stop with the sad face. Go and take a walk, enjoy this free day.” And with that Killian raised and exited the room.

Later that night, she was ready to go to sleep when she heard a knock on the door.

“Um. Who is it?” She asked looking suspiciously at the door.

“It’s me, Swan. Open the damn door.”

“What the fuck?” Emma asked to herself. He shouldn’t be here. Emma looked at herself, she was in a blue night dress, very short and strapless. Well, she didn’t had time to chance so…

When Emma opened the door she found a stunned Killian on front of her.

“Uh…” Was the only sound that came from him.

“Can I help you?” She asked feeling a big strange under his eyes.

“Um yes. Put a jacket on you and follow me.”

“What?” Emma said surprised.

“Trust me. I have something to show you.”

“Can’t I change in something else?”

“We don’t have time, Emma. And I shouldn’t be here anyway…” He said, his eyes pleading her to hurry up.

“Um.. Okay.”

She took a pair of boots, her red leather jacket and the phone and followed him. They excited the building and walked to the back of the building.

“What are we doing here, Killian?”

“Relax, Swan. I’m not going to kill you.”

“Funny.”

“I have a surprise for you.”

“What is that?” She asked curious. They stopped in front of a gate when Killian said:

“Just look”

He opened the gate and she almost started to cry.

“Henry!”

“Mom!”

Henry jumped in her arms and she could swear she was never happier.

“How? What are you doing here?”

“I came with uncle David!”

“What? David is here?”

“Well, he’s not here right now, but he is here with me.”

“I told you that what Regina said is bull…. false, Swan.” Killian said.

“You did this?” She asked him.

He did not answer, he just winked at her and smiled.

She spent 30 minutes with Henry. Killian stayed with them all the time. Emma presented Killian to Henry and she was beyond happy when she saw Henry’s happiness when she presented Killian. They talked with Henry, Killian told him more about his hobby about boats (“Ships, Swan” as Killian corrected her) until David came. She was happy to see her brother there. She thanked him for taking care of Henry and when she hugged Henry for goodbye she almost started crying.

“Don’t cry, mom. You’ll see me again tomorrow. If you can.”

“What do you mean?”

“We’re staying in the city for a few days!” Henry said excited.

“What? Really?!” Emma saying looking at David.

“Yes. Why did you think I was gone? I was looking for a room at a hotel.”

“Don’t know. But what about school?” She asked Henry.

“We are on break mom.” Henry said like it was an obvious think.

“Oh yes! I forgot!”

“We should go.” David said.

“Yes, you should. It’s past bed time.”

“I’ll see you again, mom. Bye Killian.”

“Bye lad. Have a good night.”

She and Killian watched Henry and David leave after that they went together back in the building. Emma insisted that he doesn’t have to follow her back to her room but he did it anyway.

“Thank you, Killian.” Emma said when they were in front of her door.

“I told you there was a way.”

“How did you do it?”

“A man has his secrets.”

“Thank you very much, Killian. I really missed him.”

“You don’t have to thank me, love. I’m just glad I helped you.”

She looked at him. His eyes followed her moves and when she saw him leaning to her face she thought that he will kiss her. She realized that she wouldn’t be against the idea. But his lips stopped on her cheek where they stayed for a few, long seconds.

“Goodnight, Emma Swan.” Killian said looking his eyes with hers.

“Goodnight, Killian Jones.” Emma pressed a quick kiss on his cheek and then entered her room.

What she didn’t know was that Killian stayed there for a few more minutes with his fingers pressed where she kissed him.
