Hello my pretties! Hope you all are well! Don’t worry, I’m finishing up my last chapter of my pregnancy fic, Royal Pains and a chapter of The List which should be out soon!
But until then I want to give a sneak peak to Back To You from Captain Swan Storybook Vol 2! It takes place S3E16 (It isn't easy being green) and is a deleted scene so to speak! I would categorize it as canon divergent and is of course rated M/E! This scene in particular is right after Killian drops Henry back off to Emma after talking to him about the recent death of his father!
I hope you enjoy and if you do read the rest in the link here! (My story starts on page 112) And while you're at it read everyone else stories! There is something for EVERYONE of EVERY age! Happy reading Oncers! Can’t wait for this friday to see the beautiful Colin on my screen again!
Big thanks to @juliakaze for the beautiful cover art!

“So when my dad was my age what did he like to do?” Henry asked while walking up the stairs alongside his one handed babysitter. They were headed back to Granny’s bed and breakfast after Killian had taken Henry out for the day. He naturally had a lot of questions about his recently deceased father, and Hook was the only person besides his own mother who really knew him. Killian was more than happy to help aid the boy in his grieving. There wasn't anything he wouldn't do for him or Emma.
“When he was your age he liked to draw. Create stories and illustrations. It was his escape from the real world.” He smiled thinking of the fond memories he had with Bae as a child. It was always a regret of his the way it ended between them. Killian hoped that wherever Neal was he knew how much Killian truly cared for him.
“Really?! Those are my favorite things to do! That’s so cool!” Henry sang looking up at Killian. They both walked side by side to the room Emma and Henry were both staying in. Hook was grateful to spend some quality time with Emma’s son. It was like he was getting a second chance.
“Well room 103 this is you, right?” Killian wondered bringing a knuckle up to the wooden door. He knocked three times before hearing someone move towards them. The knob turned and there Emma was greeting them with a small smile. But it wasn't her usual grin. There was something almost sad behind it.
“Mom, you wouldn't believe what we did today!” Henry exclaimed, practically jumping up and down.
“I can’t wait to hear all about it, but remember David promised to take you hunting in the morning so Mary Margaret is here to take you back to their place. I already packed your bag,” Emma gestured to Snow while handing him his bag. Killian watched his eyes light up with joy.
“Yeah! Can’t we just stay here, mom? This place is so much better than New York!” He begged his mother. Hook looked down at the floor. Emma opened her mouth to say something but she didn't quite have the right words at the moment.
“Ready Henry? Snow asked, breaking the awkward silence. His mother hugged him tight and forcibly kissed his cheek. She could tell that he was a little embarrassed. He was just becoming a teenager so public displays of affection weren't always welcome. But especially since Neal passed she just wanted to hold him and never let him go. But she knew right now it was good for Henry to be with family. Even if he didn't really know them, they knew him. The truth is Emma needed a few hours to herself. She watched her mother and son walk down the hall as she felt Killians eyes on her.
“He didn't give you any trouble did he?” She implored leaning against the door. Her curls pooled over her shoulders and her eyes looked glassy.
“Oh no, he’s a fine boy, Swan. He’s grown up so much in the last year. Soon enough he’ll be as tall as me,” He jested flashing her a grin.
She tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear as she sighed. “God, don’t remind me. Did he open up about his dad at all?” She questioned shifting her weight to her left hip.
“We had a long talk. He asked me lots of questions, mostly about Bae in his younger years. He’s okay, I think he’s coming to understand things a bit more. There were definitely some hard moments but he’s strong like his mother,” He assured her. Emma closed her eyes and let out a sigh of relief.
“Thank you, Hook. I really appreciate it,” She gave him a half hearted smile.
“Of course, love. How are you holding up?” Hook queried his worry coloring his voice unable to hide his worried tone. But as soon as those words left his lips he could see her begin to shut down.
“I’m okay, look thank you so much for taking Henry today but I’ve just been really tired lately and I think I’m just gonna head to bed early,” She stuttered nervously attempting to close the door.
“Okay, anytime love. I’m sure you’re exhausted. Let me know if you need anything,” He replied sincerely never letting his gaze leave hers. There was something behind her eyes that wasn't quite right. Maybe she was just tired like she said. “Goodnight, love,” He nodded.
