Finding Home

I learned something a long time ago, home is the place when you leave you just miss it. And being in the enchanted forest made me miss Storybrooke, I liked having electricity, my phone, and wifi. I'm happy that everyone finally got their happy endings, but where's mine it can't just be Killian and Henry. I'm glad I have my parents but what am I suppose to do I can't be a princess or rule a kingdom when the time comes. As I walk down to my parents bedroom they are asleep, they haven't fully trusted me to leave the castle just in case the Ogres attack or something. But every night since we arrived her about 2 weeks ago I've been sneaking out to see Killian , leaving my maid to care for Henry. Of course I feel bad leaving her with him but I need to be with Killian as well, my parents need to be more trusting  I've spent 18 years without their supervision. They guards are of course sleeping so I sneak past them, when I walked out the castle doors my father is waiting for me I should have known I wouldn't get away this time. "Emma to your room now, we'll talk about this in the morning." I stomped up to my room, Killian was sitting on my balcony waiting, I ran to him and kissed him. "Sorry I'm late my father caught me hide he's coming." Killian slid down the balcony as my father walked through the door with Henry, he handed him to me. "This isn't the maid's job, she is to help you get ready not babysit Henry. We will have a talk in the morning about this so don't expect me not to tell your mother." He said leaving me with Henry, I walked over to the balcony where Killian was hanging. "Give me a minute I need to put Henry to sleep, I'll be right back I promise." I walked to the nursery I laid Henry in his bed and he began to cry. "hey baby you want a story?" I picked him back up and sat in the rocking chair next to his bed."Once upon a time there was a princess who always snuck out to see the love of her life, she had to sneak out because her parents don't trust her. The Princess grew tired of staying in the castle all day, she wanted to be out riding horses and spending time with her parents but they were always busy and didn't have time for her. She knew that she just had to follow their rules and one day they will trust her." I look down at Henry who is fast asleep, I lay him down and kiss him on the forehead. "I love you so much Henry don't ever forget that." As I turned to leave I saw Killian watching me, "How much did you hear?" He pulled me close and kissed me softly. "Everything, but Emma they are just trying to protect you. The same way you protect Henry." I held onto his hand as we walked back to my room, the sun would be up soon. "I love you Killian but you got to go my parents will be up soon and I have to talk to them about me sneaking out. I'll see you later I promise."

"I love you Emma so much"

"I love you now go please."

I left and I flopped on my bed love-struck, god I love the feeling I have when I'm around Killian. And he's so good with Henry, he treats Henry like he is his own of course we aren't ready for kids yet but at least I know he's good with them. I heard Henry cry so I ran to get him then back to my room and prepared for my lecture. A couple of minutes later my parents came in, they sat next to each other on my bed while I rocked Henry back to sleep. "Emma tell me what you were doing last night?" My mother said as she looked at my father then at me, "I snuck out to see Killian but dad caught me, and sent me to my room." They exchanged looks and I bounced Henry. "Did Killian come back?" I nodded my head hoping I wouldn't get in trouble, "I'm 18 I think I can handle myself, plus I think I know better since their isn't any contraception in this place." My father's face looked disgusted, "Emma honey we know you think we don't trust you but we really do but for right now we need you to follow our rules until we know for sure that the threat is gone." I rolled my eyes I've heard this excuse since we arrived, "I understand that you are trying to protect me but I can do it myself. I did it for 18 years before I came to you. I think I can do it again.'

"Emma that isn't our fault." My mother said her voice breaking, I didn't mean it.

"Mom, dad I didn't mean it of course it wasn't your fault I just need some space I'll take Henry with me." I didn't know where I was going to go I thought about Regina's palace and suddenly I'm there in her bedroom as she brushed her hair. "Emma what are you doing here?"

"I have no idea what just happened? What did I just do?"
