Killian got up extra early to get ready for work, his two loves were still asleep, Hope was sleeping in between them. He kisses his swan on the head. Emma wakes up. "Hey, you.""Hi, swan." They kiss. "I have an early shift.""Stay safe.""I will, love." They kiss. Killian did not get a call from work, he was following the plan that he, Regina and Charming spoke about last night. He drove the family car to the Storybrooke hospital to the psych ward to visit his mother in law, it is his job to make sure his family stays safe. Killian goes to the basement of the hospital. "I am here to see Snow White." He shows his sheriff badge and is led by the nurse to Snow White's cell. "Snow White, you have a visitor." She opens the door, Killian enters the psych ward room. Snow White sees her son-in-law. "Killian? What are you doing here?""I am here to see you. How are you feeling?""I want to leave here. Please let me out.""Did you realize what you have done to Emma and Hope?""I just wanted to prove to Emma that I can take care of Hope! I want to be back in her life. I am her mother, I missed everything with Emma, I want to be in her life.""Snow, you hurt my wife, son, and daughter. She doesn't trust you. You almost killed our daughter!""I want to be in Emma's life, to help with Hope!""By kidnapping her!!""That's not my fault! I want to be part of Emma's family!""Family?! Being in denial and letting your son hurt my family, that is not family Snow White! You kidnapped your own flesh and blood and almost killed your granddaughter! Your own daughter does not even trust you.""I want to get my daughter's trust again!! To be her mother, the one she never had!""Your daughter told me when she finally told you that she was an orphan, alone, and had no one, you replaced her right away by having another child!!""I wanted my own second chance to raise a baby like Emma.""You replaced her right after she is vulnerable and opened up to you for so long being closed up? Like every orphan! When she finally tells you how she has replaced her whole entire life as a lost girl, Snow you replaced her! Do you ever think why her light magic acted up when you had Leo?! She felt alone and replaced for the 1,000th time in her life by her own mother!! When her light magic was out of control, you blamed her for everything since Leo was born! You blame your own daughter for your son's crimes and you hurt her family. You almost killed your own granddaughter!! That is why Emma does not trust you, Snow White! A mother does not hurt their children or try to steal their own grandchildren!!""That is why I wanted to make it up...""Snow, this is why Emma put you in here. You need to realize what you have done to our family." Snow White begins to cry. "I want my daughter back...I want my daughter back...""If you did not kidnap your granddaughter or when she was very ill, you would not be here right now..." Snow White looks up at him. "You do not steal your sick granddaughter to get your daughter's trust back. It is clear that you still do not realize what have you done was wrong." Killian leaves the psych ward.Back at the Swan-Jones home, Henry checks on his Mom and sister, Hope was awake. "Dada?" Hope began to cry. Henry gets Hope from their bed, "Hope. Don't cry, Daddy will be back. He did not leave you. You have Mommy and me with you." Hope hugs her brother. "Henwy." "Mommy is sleeping, we have to be quiet. Do you want to play with your new toys or read a book?""T-t...""Toys? Okay." Henry carries his sister downstairs and she goes straight to her rocking horse. Henry makes sure she gets on it safely. "Hope, once upon a time when Mommy, Daddy and Henry were in King Arthur's realm...." Emma wakes up smiling hearing Hope and Henry downstairs playing without Hope being upset. She takes a shower before she heads downstairs and finds her two children in the kitchen which was a mess, Hope was covered in flour. "What is going on here?" "Hi, Mommy!" Hope hugs her Mommy. Emma smiles as she takes some of the flour off her daughter."Hi,Hopey, why are you covered with flour?" Hope babbles. "Oh really? Baking?" "Mom, Hope, and I wanted to cook you breakfast. Well, we wanted to bake chocolate chip muffins but Hope got her hands on the flour."Emma chuckles. "I know we have extra flour so you two can bake. It is in the lower cabinet." Hope babbles. "I can help you mix your ingredients, Henry is in charge." Hope clapped her covered flour hands. Emma laughs. "You are getting me covered with flour, buttercup." She sat with Hope on his lap,Henry let Hope mixed the eggs and rest of the wet ingredients with Emma's help. Henry set the oven on and with the timer and made sure of the dry ingredients were measured correctly. He let Hope mix all of the ingredients together. Henry pours the mixture into muffin pans and puts it in the oven. Hope babbles. "Hope, when it is cooked. You can have the first one." Hope smiles. "Kid, she loves baking with you.""She loves baking with both of us." Henry hugs his Mom and sister. Hope began to cry."Sweetie, are you hungry for breakfast?" She puts Hope in her high chair, makes Hope oatmeal with blueberries on top. She gave Hope her oatmeal with regular milk in a bottle. "You can have a muffin when it is done baking in the oven." Hope smiles. "Mom, are you okay?""Yes, I am." She hugs her son. "I will eat breakfast with you.""I am also thinking we can have scrambled eggs.""Sure, I can make them.""Where is D-A-D?""He has a case. He got called in really early in the morning." "I can cook scrambled eggs.""Are you sure?""Yes, Mom. I can cook eggs. I want to cook breakfast for you.""Why?""I want to practice my cooking skills." "Okay." She sits down next to Hope who was covered with oatmeal and blueberries. "Hopey, are you enjoying your breakfast?" Hope smiles. "Yes, you are." She kisses Hope on the cheek. Hope reaches for her Mommy, Emma puts Hope on her lap and she drinks her bottle. Emma kisses Hope on the head, Hope still loves to snuggle with her. Henry cooks his Mom scrambled eggs and sets her plate. "Thank you, Henry.""You are welcome." They ate breakfast. Hope was squirming around in her Mommy's lap. "Hope, what are you doing little sis?" Hope babbles "Trying to go play?""I do not want your sister to get flour all over the house. Hope, you need a bubble bath. Melody is coming over to play." Hope screams. "Mom, she is very excited to have her best friend over.""Yes, she is very excited." Henry cleans up the kitchen as Emma brings Hope upstairs. She runs Hope a bath and Hope tries to escape the bathroom. "Oh, no, little duckling, you are not getting flour all over the carpet." She takes Hope's clothes off and puts her in the tub. Hope squealed playing with her bath toys and the bubbles. Emma smiles and thinks about how much of her daughter takes after her Daddy, a little pirate. The doorbell rang. Henry went to answer the door; it was Ariel and Melody. "Hi, Ariel. Hi Melody." Melody babbles. "Hi, Henry.""Come in. Hope is taking a bubble bath. She got into flour while we were baking muffins." Melody babbles. "Yes, Melody, you are here to play with Hope." Ariel kisses Melody on the head. Emma brought down Hope changed into her ducking dress. "Hi, Ariel.""Hi, Emma.""Mel-Mel!""Melody is here to play with you, sweetie." She lets Hope walk to Melody and the two friends hug. "Hope, you and Melody can play with your toys." Hope leads Melody to the living room. The timer went off."Mom, I got it." Henry goes into the kitchen. Hope and Melody were playing with toys. "Mom, they are ready.""Ariel, I will be right back." She goes into the kitchen and smells the baked muffins. "Henry, they smell delicious.""They are still hot." They watched Hope sharing her toys with Melody. "Hope loves sharing her toys with Melody.""Yes, she loves playing with her best friend." Emma gets a phone call from Killian, Henry goes into the living room. "Hey, how is work?""How..how is Hope?""She is playing with Melody. Are you okay?""Rough case. I just want to check on Hope.""She is happy playing with Melody...Are you okay?" Killian sighs. "No, you are not. Do you need me to come in?""I..." Emma goes to the backyard. Hope does not see her Mommy and begins to cry. Henry holds his sister. "Hope, Mommy is only in the backyard." He shows their Mom by pointing at her by the window. Hope still was crying. "Hopey, the muffins that we baked are ready to eat. I know Melody wants to try your baking."Ariel gets her daughter. "Hope, I know Melody wants to try your muffins that you and Henry baked. they look really good." They bring the babies in the kitchen.Emma was in the backyard. "Killian, you are scaring me. Please tell me. Where are you?""I just need a lunch break with my swan and family.""Are you working now?""Yes, but after lunch, I just want to be with you." "I can come to work. You need me." "I just want to be with my family at Granny's for lunch.""Killian, we will meet you for lunch."Killian smiles."Aye, I cannot wait.""Are you going to tell me what is going on at lunch?""Yes, love. I will.""You promise?""Yes, swan. I can go to you like you come to me.""We will meet you at Granny's later.""I love you, Emma.""I love you, Killian." They ended their phone conversation and returned to the kitchen seeing Henry, Hope, and Melody enjoying chocolate chip muffins at the kitchen table. "Mommy." Hope reaches out for her Mommy."Hi, baby. Are you enjoying your muffin?" Hope babbles. She takes Hope out of her high chair and lets her sit on her lap. Henry gives his Mom a muffin."Melody is enjoying her muffin that her best friend made. Henry told me that Hope helped him bake also gave me the recipe." "Hope loves cooking and baking."Melody babbles. "Yes, Melody we can have the same muffins at home." "Emma, is everything okay?""Killian called, he wanted to check on Hope.""Dada.""We are going to see Dada later." Hope babbles. "Ariel, I know where the girls want to play next?""Where?""The Jolly Roger.""Wawa! Wawa!" Hope and Melody scream at the same time. "I will take that as a yes." Emma and Ariel both laughed. They got ready to go on the Jolly Roger. "Hope, you are going to play with Melody on the Jolly Roger?""Henwy." She hugs her brother."We can play H&H time later. I know you are going to have fun with Melody. " He gives his sister to their Mom. "Mom, I know Hope will have fun.I have to do online work.""We will see you later." Emma and Ariel walked down to the docks carrying their daughter. Hope squirmed out of her Mommy's arms. "Mommy..Wawa...""Yes, sweetie, we are going into our second home. You are going to play on the Jolly Roger." Emma sets down Hope who leads Melody around the Jolly Roger, climbing onto ropes, barrels, and boxes. Hope babbles, Melody cannot climb. Emma sets Melody onto the box. "Hope, Melody cannot climb like you can yet sweetie." "Mel-Mel." Hope hugs Melody. Emma smiles and takes pictures of Hope and Melody hugging and playing around the Jolly Roger, which Emma was loving."Emma, Hope is less upset than she was yesterday at her party.""Hope always is happy with Melody. She is having fun with her best friend.""That is why we decided to stay a few more days, I know Melody will cheer up Hope at her birthday, yesterday and today.""Thank you for staying in Storybrooke a little longer.""Emma, when Belle told me what happened, I wanted to help out. I knew Melody always makes her happy." They watched their girls play. Hope would come to her Mommy to make sure she was there."Hopey, are you having fun with Melody?" Hope smiles. "You are having so much fun.""Tay.""I am not going anywhere. I am staying right here watching you play with Melody." Hope hugs her Mommy. She kisses Hope on the cheek. Hope smiles and goes back playing with Melody. Killian decided to drive to the Jolly Roger to clear his head after what he went through with his mother in law at the psych ward of how much she thinks about his wife than his daughter's safety. He arrives at his second home hearing babbling, he smiles seeing Hope and Melody playing around the Jolly Roger. Hope sees her Daddy and runs to him, Emma smiles. "Dada! Dada!" He kneels down and scoops Hope into his arms. "Hi, little pirate. Are you having fun playing with Melody?" Hope babbles. He gave Hope kisses her on the head as she was hugging him. "Hope missed you this morning.""Aye, I can tell." "I hope you don't mind, I had a feeling hope and Melody will both have fun on our second home."Killian smiles. "It is our second home, you don't have to ask me to have play dates on our second home. I can tell our little lass is having fun.""Dada?" Hope squirms and he puts her down."Yes, Hope?" Hope takes his hook and leads him to Melody, where they had a little fort with Hope's toys in it with a blanket on top of boxes. "Little love you and Melody have a fort?""Mommy!""Aye, Mommy made you a for you to play in." Hope joins Melody back into their fort. Killian kneels down. "You have your toys in there too?" Melody and Hope both babble. Emma wrapped her arms around her husband's waist. "She takes after her Daddy.""Aye she loves her second home as her Daddy and Mommy." They kiss. Melody began to cry. Ariel takes Melody from the fort. "It is your naptime." Melody cries more. "Mel-Mel.""She is okay, Hope. She just needs her nap." Emma picks Hope up. "Melody is okay, sweetie. She is just cranky needing her nap." Hope puts her hand on her friend. "She will feel better after she has her nap, Hope. I know Melody had so much fun with you today." Hope smiles. "Emma, we need to do this again very soon.""Yes, they love their play dates." Hope babbles. "Melody says bye-bye to Hope." Melody cried more. Hope began to cry. Ariel and Melody leave."Hopey, Melody will play with you again." She hugs her daughter. "I know you love playing with your ocean princess best friend." "Little love, do you want to show me your fort?" Hope stops crying. Killian and Hope go into the fort, Emma takes pictures of Killian and Hope playing in the fort. Emma and Killian smiled at each other seeing their daughter happy. "Mommy.""Emma, Hope wants you to join us in the fort." Emma smiles and joins them in the fort."Mommy." Hope hugs her Mommy."I am here to play with you and Daddy." They played with their daughter until Hope fell asleep. "She is fast asleep.""Aye, it is our little lass's naptime." Killian holds sleeping Hope."Do you want to tell me what happened?" She hugs her husband. Killian got sad. "You can tell me. Do you want to talk at home? I can make us hot rum""Hot rum?""Yes, you look like you need it.""Swan, you know me so well by now." They got Hope and the diaper bag and walked home together. He settles Hope into her crib. "Dada and Mommy are home with you, we love you so much." He puts her two Pluto dolls next to her and went downstairs to the living room, Emma had hot rum in a mug for herself and flask for him waiting for him on the couch. "Hot rum? Captain"Killian smiles. "Thank you, swan.""You are welcome." They kiss. Emma took a sip of her rum. "Mmm...I have not had rum in such a long time.""You have not has rum since our honeymoon?""Yes. I did miss drinking rum with you." "Aye, you always drink with me."Emma smiles. "Yes, I never wanted to drink with Neal, I did not trust him.""You drank rum with me in Neverland.""Because I trusted you. I trusted you ever since you turn your ship around and you brought us to save Henry and you helped us to get our son back to a place where you hate.""That is why you trusted me.""Yes, you helped me save our son." She hugs him."Aye, I hate when Greg and Tamara kidnapped him. Even though I worked with them, I knew they were not trusting people. They had no idea they were working for, it was the blood green devil.""We got our son back together.""Aye, that is why we make a great team, swan.""Yes, that is why we are team Captain Swan. Now, please tell me what happened this morning," She looked at eyes with kind patient eyes waiting to ready to listen to him.Killian knew he needed to tell what happened and she won't be mad at him. "The case was about our Hope...I went to visit your mother...it was part of my plan with your Dad and Regina to make sure she realized what she has done to our little lass. She did not realize what she has done to Hope was wrong, Emma...All she thought was about you not about Hope. She does not realize that almost killed our daughter. We have this long fight, no matter how much I fought defending Hope like you have in your arguments with her..." Killian sighs. "I felt like you, who could not get the true facts through her head. Now, I know how you feel every time, you fight with her." Emma holds his hook. "It is bloody awful, it is like shouting in a room where no one is listening to you, I bloody hate it. I am sorry Emma that every time you defend us your family to her she does not listen..." Emma hugs her husband. "Killian, I get the strength to defend my loved ones because I want to protect my family. I always have you one my side which makes me protect our family from my mom easier. You are always there for me. I am there for you. I especially love it when you defend me and our family." "I will always be on your side defending your and our family." Emma hugs him. "Thank you for defending our family today. Knowing my Mom did not change and still where she is...makes me feel safe for Hope.""Aye, you are welcome, Emma. She is not getting out until she realizes what she has done to our Hope. Hope is safe at home with us." He kisses Emma on the head. Henry arrives home from visiting his other Mom at her office and goes upstairs knowing his parents were talking. He sees Hope awake. "Henwy!""Hi, Hope." He takes Hope out of her crib. Hope hugs her brother. "You want to do art with me, little sis?" "Art!" Henry takes Hope to his room to work on an art project. "Mommy...Dada...""They are downstairs in the living room, Hope. They are both at home. You and I are going to have H & H time, we need to make Auntie Allison a birthday card.""Auntie.""We are going to Auntie Allison's house for her birthday party later." "Ookie.""We are going to have cake at Auntie's house." Hope babbles. "You want to have a cupcake?""Yes.""Me too, Mommy made extra cupcakes." Henry takes Hope into the kitchen and they both had cupcakes. Killian and Emma heard them in the kitchen. "I will see what our kids are up too.""Aye, I will put Hope's kitchen set together." Emma hugs her husband. "You can always talk to me...""I know, swan. I can always talk to you about anything." They kiss.Killian goes to Hope's room as Emma went into the kitchen seeing her two children snacking on cupcakes. "I see cupcakes.""Mommy!" Hope showed Emma a cupcake. Emma chuckles and kisses her on the cheek. "Enjoy your cupcake baby girl.""Mom, we have eight more left.""I am not surprised." "Mommy..." She shows Hope her cupcake."You want me to have a cupcake?" "Yes."Emma takes one and eats it. Hope clapped her hands. Emma smiles knowing her daughter wants to join them eating cupcakes. "Mom, what time are we going to Aunt Allison's house?""She texted me this morning to come over at 6:00 pm." Hope babbles. "Hope had fun with Melody on the Jolly Roger." Hope babbles. "Hope and Melody had a fort.""Awesome." He goes to his sister. "Did Mommy build you a fort?""Mommy." Emma holds her daughter and Hope babbles telling Henry about her playtime on the Jolly Roger. "Oh really? You were climbing on everything with Melody?""Kid, she was telling Melody to climb, Ariel and I helped Melody catch up to Hope." "Dada?""Dada is upstairs, sweetie." Hope began to cry. "Hopey. We are going upstairs to see Dada. Don't cry." She cleans Hope's face from the frosting and takes Hope up to her room seeing Killian working on a pink and purple kitchen set with plastic forks, spoons, toasters, pots and pans, microwave, oven and a mini-refrigerator. "Hope, Dada is building your kitchen set. Killian, how is it going?""I am almost done, I am adding the toy foods." Emma smiles. "Dada!" Emma sets Hope down and she runs to her Daddy."Hi, little love." He scoops Hope into his arms. "She was looking for you, Killian.""Little love, Dada did not leave you." He kisses her on the head. "You want to help me put your toy food in your kitchen set?" "Dada!"Killian smiles. "You can stay with me." Hope grabbed two of her plastic toys. "Banana...""Nana...""Peas.""P..." Killian smiles love teaching his little love new words. After Killian was finished building the kitchen set, Hope was babbling away and exploring her kitchen set. Emma took pictures of Killian and Hope and went downstairs. Henry was downstairs working on his homework. "Mom?""Yes, Henry?""Can you help me with my homework?'"Sure, kid." Emma sits down next to her son and helps him with his homework assignment until it was time to leave for Allison's house. She goes upstairs finding Hope and Killian playing with her kitchen set. "Killian, we should be getting ready.""Aye, yes. Hope we are going to Auntie Allison's house." Hope screams and runs to her Mommy."Hopey, you are excited to celebrate Allison's birthday?" Hope babbles. She holds her daughter. "You need a clean diaper before we go, little duckling." Emma changes Hope diaper while Hope was babbling away. "You had fun playing with Dada?""Dada.""Dada is the best!" She tickles Hope and gave Hope raspberries on her belly making her laugh. "Mommy!""Hopey!" Hope laughed. She hugs her daughter. "My little girl." She kisses Hope on the head and sees Killian with his iPhone taking pictures. "You like what you see captain?""Aye, do love seeing my two loves playing and smiling." They kiss. Hope laughs. "You think Dada kissing Mommy is funny little love." "Killian, I think Hope wants us both to kiss her." They gave her kisses on her cheeks at the same time, Henry heard Hope laughing and took a picture of his sister with their parents. Emma drove her family over to her best friend's house. "Auntie.""Yes, Hope. We are here to celebrate Auntie Allison's birthday. Do you think she will like our gift?" "Yes." Henry takes his sister from her car seat and takes her out of the car. Killian got the birthday gifts from the trunk. "Swan, all of these gifts are for Allison?""Yes, they are all for her. She helped all of us and we want to make her birthday special." "Auntie...gift.""Hope, you can hold Auntie's gift. You can give it to her." They went to the Cameron's house door. Killian held Hope and let her ring the bell. Lizzie answered the door. "Hi, Auntie Emma. Mommy is in her room.""Is she okay?""I think so. Come in.""I am going to check on your Mom." Emma goes upstairs. "Hope, we are going to play in the living room. ""Aye, Hope has her Jolly Roger bunny.""Great, Jolly Roger and Rainbow can play." Killian carries Hope following Lizzie. "Henry, can we play video games?""Yes." Henry and Connor go upstairs to his bedroom. Emma enters Allison and Ted's room and finds Allison crying in their bed. "Allison. Why are you crying?" "Emma." They hug."Hey, what is wrong?" "I...I..." Emma hugs her best friend. "What happened, sweetie?""I..I had a rough night last night...you were right, Emma... I was pregnant. I had a miscarriage.Dr.Claire took care of me today." Emma hugs her best friend and lets her cry into her. "Ted is the only one that knows besides you.""I am right, here. You are going to be okay." Killian noticed Emma and Allison were upstairs for awhile when Emma came down. "Killian?""What is wrong with Allison?" She took him away from the children. "Allison had a miscarriage last night.""Bloody...""She puked on the way home on Sunday, that is why I drove her car. I had a feeling she was pregnant...last night. I want to help my best friend of all times to have one on her birthday.""That is awful.""Have you seen Ted?""Connor told me he was getting Allison's cake. Do the kids know?""They do not want to be upset, Lizzie and Connor.""I will keep an eye on the kids.""Thanks. I do not want Allison to be alone." Emma returns to Allison and hugs her. "Emma?""Yes, Allison?""How did you get through yours? I mean you had two of them...""By talking to my husband, crying it out, taking it easy, hugging both of my children, having my husband taking good care of me and my best friend being there for me. I also knew that my children both needed me and that I am not going to go anywhere. I am going to be there for you.""I cannot believe that it happened...you were right...I am older than you that is why I was in denial...then I got happy about being a Mom again...then I lost it last night." "Allison, you are an amazing mother to Connor and Lizzie. You are the best doctor in town. You are an amazing godmother to Hope, who you always protect and save Hope. Hope loves her Auntie so much. Technically Hope is your daughter not biologically.""Hope is my goddaughter, I love her.""You can come over to play with her anytime. You can call me when you need me. I can help you in recovery. You are my support system. I am your support system." Killian brings up Hope was crying. "Emma, Hope wants her Mommy and auntie.""Auntie...gift." Killian sets Hope on the floor. "Auntie!" Emma puts Hope on the bed."Be gentle to auntie, sweetie. Allison, Hope personally wanted to give you her gift to you.""Awe, Hope. Come here." Hope gave her gift to Allison. "Thank you. Can I have a hug?" Hope hugs Allison. "You give the best hugs, Hope. I need your hugs today. You can snuggle with me.""Yes." Emma smiles and goes to Killian."Swan, I got a phone call from your Dad.""About Ted?""Yes, he was drunk in the Rabbit Hole and started an argument.""He is taking it hard. I do not want Allison's birthday ruined.""Aye, I will talk to him. I know how he feels.""I will stay here to keep an eye on Allison and make her birthday special." Killian leaves the house. Emma goes downstairs to Henry. "Kid.""Mom, where did Dad go?""He went to get Ted...""What is going on?" Emma whispered to her son, "Allison had miscarriage."Henry got sad. "No, on her birthday!""Yes, kid. Her and Ted are taking it really hard. Dad went to help,Ted. I need your help.""What can I do?""You can bake Allison's birthday cake.""We can give her our presents to her with the cake.""Yes, you can have Connor and Lizzie to help you.""I can do that. I know Allison needs you.""She always helps us and we will help her." Henry baked Allison's birthday cake with Lizzie and Connor. Emma texted Killian about resolving the cake issue and joined Hope and Allison on the bed. "Hope, Mommy is back.""Mommy...auntie.""You are happy to have our girl talk?" Hope claps her hands. Allison smiles. "You are just happy to have extra time with Auntie Allison." Hope smiles as Allison gives her kisses on the head. "Auntie....gift!" "You want me to open your gift?" Hope clapped her hands. Allison opens her gift which was an Alex and Ani bracelet that had two charms, auntie and godmother. Allison was in happy tears. "Aww, Hope." She hugs her goddaughter. "I love my new bracelets. I am going to wear them right now." Allison puts them on her wrist. "It fits perfectly." Hope babbles. "Hope loves jewelry like Killian and I." They continued to talk. Killian drove the yellow bug to the Rabbit Hole bar, where he saw his father in law with Ted. "Killian. Good that you are here.""I know why Ted is acting like this, Allison had an unexpected miscarriage last night..it is also her birthday."Charming was concerned. "How is Allison?""She is devastated, Emma and Hope are with her while Henry is with their children. I am going to talk to Ted, I know how he feels.""I know you will help him. My daughter is helping her best friend.""Aye, Allison saved my family countless times, now we are helping her." Killian joins Ted at the bar. "Hi, Ted.""Killian...""I came to your house, I had a feeling you were not buying the cake. Emma is with Allison. We know what happened. We have been through it twice over the last year. Both times we didn't know we were expecting...""I was surprised to see the blood...I did everything that I can to help my wife. I just feel awful.""I know the pain, feeling like you are helpless seeing your wife in so much pain and you cannot do anything to help her with the pain. You just got to be there for your wife and help her in recovery.""How? It is my wife's birthday and this happens." He took a sip of his beer." I know Emma got through it twice with me on her side and with Henry and Hope showing their extra love and care for Allison. You need to be there for your wife, Ted. She needs you right now." he takes the beer away. "Starting you, not drunk in front of your wife. Especially on her birthday." Robin enters the bar. "Killian, is everything okay?""I need your help to escort Ted home, he is Allison's husband.""Dr.Cameron?""Yes. They had a rough day.""Alright, I can do that." Robin joins them in the car. Ted was crying. "Ted, you can show your feelings to Allison." He drives them to the docks."Ted, another way to vent your feelings. You can scream it out, which helps me. My daughter's mother is Zelena.""That crazy former witch who morphed into Charming and kidnapped my niece?!""Who is your niece?""Hope! That is freaking awful. She almost killed Hope.""Trust me mate, Zelena went into the past morphed herself into my ex-wife, for months, tricked me having sex with her and got her pregnant and revealed who she was when Emma, Lily and Regina came to warn me. I had no idea for months. She tricked me to get Regina away from me which did not happen.""That is messed up. Zelena is a nightmare.""Aye, you do not want to parent a child from a crazy witch." "You made me feel a little better,that is much worse. Killian, how do I help Allison?""Just being there for her. She needs you now more than ever." "I need to go home to be with Allison.""She has you, your kids, Emma and I for support.""You also have me, Ted.""Thanks, Robin. We need to go out for drinks.""Aye, mate. We should. I just cannot be around Henry and Hope." "Why?""They both have issues with Zelena...""I understand.""Killian, let me know if you need anything.Regina tells me what has been going on with Hope with Zelena and Snow White. I am helping by keeping Rowand away from Zelena.""Aye, I appreciate that,Robin. Ted, we should be heading back, you do not want Allison to worry.""We should be going back.""Ted, Killian see you both around." Robin headed back to town and Killian drove Ted home. Lizzie sees them enter. "Dad! Dad!" She jumped into Ted's arms. "Henry, Connor and I baked Mommy's cake.""That is great,Lizzie.""Yes, we are about to decorate it. Mommy is still in your room.""Mommy is in pain. We need to help her feel better.""I want to help, Mommy.""We are going to help, Mommy. First we need to make her birthday special." Ted joins Henry, Lizzie and Connor in the kitchen as Killian goes upstairs to check on Allison and his two loves. Allison and Emma were talking. Hope sees her Daddy and gets off the bed and runs to him."Dada! Dada!" He scoops Hope into his arms. "Mommy...Auntie.""You are having girl talk with Mommy and Auntie Allison?""Yes." He kisses Hope on the head."Killian, is everything okay?""Yes, love. Everyone is here." They kiss. "Allison...""Your daughter and wife are cheering me up.""Aye, if you need anything you can call Emma and I. We are there for you.""Thank you." Henry opened the door, Lizzie, Connor entered with Ted with their homemade cake. Ted, Allison, Connor and Lizzie sat on the bed with Allison. Henry to video. Everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to Allison. Allison was in tears, everyone around her love her. "Mommy make a wish." Allison hugs her daughter and blows out her candles. Everyone clapped. Henry was holding his family gifts for Allison."Al, do you need Tylenol?""Ted,I am good for now." She hugs her husband. "I just need you here." He kisses her on the head. "I am going to help you." Emma and Killian smiled at each other knowing Allison is not alone."We are all here for you Allison.""Auntie!" Emma lets Hope go on the bed and hugs her auntie."Hope is here for you, Aunt Allison."Allison smiles. "Thank you, for this. Especially in this rough time." Hope stuck her hand into the cake."Hope!" Hope puts the frosting hand in her mouth. "You cannot do that.""Emma, it is okay. Hope chose her part of the cake." Hope babbles. "Is it good?" Hope smiles with her face covered in vanilla frosting. Ted cut up the cake for everyone, Emma had Hope on her lap. They gave Allison her birthday gifts. It was getting late, the Swan-Jones family had to leave. Allison walked Emma carrying sleeping Hope to the door. "Allison, you should be resting.""I know but I need to walk for a little bit." They hug. "Thank you for helping me today.""You are welcome. Hope and I will visit you tomorrow.""Are you sure?""Killian and I are going to help you.You are always helping us. You are part of our family, our Swan-Jones family, we help each other." "Emma, what are you doing with Killian on your anniversary in two weeks?""We are not sure yet... Hope will freak out if both of us leave her.""If you need me to babysit, call me." They hug. Thank you for coming.""If you need anything call me, I mean it, you helped us, we are going to help you." They hug. "We are coming over tomorrow. Text me if you need anything from the store." "I will." Emma puts Hope in her car seat and join Killian in the front of the yellow bug. Killian drove his family home. He holds his wife's hand knowing his wife was worried about their family friend.. "She is going to be okay, Emma." "I know." They returned home. Emma puts Hope to bed in her crib. "Sweet dreams, baby girl. I love you so much." Emma took a shower and got ready for bed."Mom?" Henry was crying. Emma hugs her son. "I feel so sorry for Aunt Allison, having a miscarriage on her birthday.""I feel awful too kid. Having a miscarriage, not on your birthday sucks but having on a birthday that makes it worse. She has Ted, her kids, you, Dad Hope, and I to support her." They hug. Henry went to bed. Emma joined Killian on the couch, who was drinking from his flask. "You want some?""Yes, I really need it." She drank some of his hot rum. He wrapped his arms around his wife."You did an amazing job today, swan. You were being the nice caring helpful woman I fell in love, more than every day."Emma smiles. "I just did what I could to help my best friend who needed me. I mean she helped me when I had my own two mis-miscarriages... I am not sure if I helped Allison the right way. I know what she is going through...""You helped her, she knows that she can go to you. You made her birthday happy as she could be.""Now, her birthday is a reminder of a miscarriage." He kisses Emma on the head."She is not alone, Emma. She has so many people who love her and going to be there for her.""You are right. I am going to help her."Aye, I am going to help her and ted. Ted, Robin, and I formed a men group.""Oh really?""Aye, yes. Robin shared his experiences with Zelena. I feel bloody awful for them too. With our help, they will get through this.""Yes, they will." They kiss and snuggle together knowing they are going to support their extended family just as they should, team Swan-Jones way.
