"Maybe it's destiny"

Serious business

The blonde woman opened her eyes wide open as soon as she felt the sun rays that entered the room from the open window across her bed teasing her eyes and making sleep something impossible. She shifted on her bed and rolled to her side trying to find Killian's hand to hold and kiss. Nothing... she sat upright on her ass to realize that she was alone in her bedroom.

Killian's working clothes were missing, so was his black envelop that he always carried around. Since he was the chief of all the agents in their town Boston he needed to carry evidence and proof all day long with him just in case. She couldn't even remember how many years she had been doing this job but at least it wasn't something all new and scary when she arrived at Boston.

She had lived in a huge town before, since she was not part of the enchanted forest or storybrooke right away, so it was pretty easy for her to adjust into her new environment and move on. The whole moving on thingy was the toughest part. Leaving her parents behind for once again pained her the most. She lost them once and now she lost them twice.

Deep inside her she was pretty sure that they were gonna find each other again like they always did, but she didn't want to get her hopes up. She preferred to live in misery and think that her parents were just vanished. It was more painful but more relaxing to her soul...  she didn't have something to wait for. That way no one could crush her dreams and hopes again...

Anyway, her work history as a sheriff back in storybrooke made it easier for her to get used to her new job, and earn a high place in her job section as well. Killian from the other side chose the easy way for once again. He was the perfect man for the chief role. He was once a captain, he knew exactly how to give orders and he was loving it as well.

The minute he had walked into the interview he just winked at a couple of ladies with those lovely and magnetizing baby blue eyes and that was it. He then had to say a few words about how much he loved to be the leader of the pack, and how much he hated crime and injustice and the job was his.. he earned it with his unbelievable ability to lie without anyone noticing.

Being a former magic creature counted as a skill. He had seen things that an ordinary human brain would never understand or believe. If you think Killian Jones was irresistible in the magic realms you have no idea how women loved him in the ordinary world.

He never missed home. He never felt like storybrooke or the enchanted forest were home. He always thought that home was were emma was! And that might be true... he never missed a thing from their old way of living. He had lost so many things back then, plus he had caused so much pain and misery to people and himself that he didn't want to remember all these black days. He preferred to enjoy his life as a normal human being. Being a captain and most of all being Captain Hook could be exhausting sometimes.

So... Emma swan and Killian Jones seemed to be enjoying their current life style. The only one suffering was Henry.. Henry Mills. He had changed since their arrival in Boston. He was not the chatty little boy he once was. He had no dreams and hopes for a happy ending. He was quiet most of the time and elusive. Emma was having a pretty hard time to read him at first but then she knew.

It wasn't storybrooke that he was missing like crazy but it was Regina. His mum..
Unfortunately there was nothing emma could do in order to help him get better... as the years went by, Henry slowly accepted the fact that he was never gonna see his other mum again and that he had to adjust to his new life and move on like everyone else did. He couldn't stop thinking about her though.

He needed to know that she was at least okay. But there was no way to find out... five years later he's still struggling with his own thoughts but at least he's better. Her managed to socialize in school, meet a couple of people and feel like he finally belonged somewhere..
