Okay, so there are a few things in this chapter...

First off, there's the new Dark Swan poster... I'm terrified, please help me.

Second, on Wednesday July 8th, I'm going on vacation out of the country for three weeks. I'm not sure I'll have access to Internet. If I don't, I will do my best to have tons of updates for you guys when I come back. If I do have access to Internet, updates on all of my fics may take a little more time than usual. BUT I AM NOT LEAVING WATTPAD! I know a few amazing writers in our fandom have left recently, but I'm not leaving you! So if I'm not here for a while, that's why.

And finally, I have three little drabbles that were requested a while ago when I asked for some prompts. I have a few left that I'll try to post before I leave, but here are the first three.

The first was requested by QuexnOfSpades : You should do one of those plots where Emma was raised as a princess and Killian Is a pirate type thing bc I can never get enough of those.

When Princess Emma's parents had the young pirate captain, Killian Jones arrested for attempted thievery she had taken an immediate liking to him.

Now that he worked in the palace kitchen and was her personal server, so sue her if there were a few instances where Killian returned to the kitchen with kiss-swollen lips and slightly messy hair.

It wasn't like Emma's parents would ever find out. Even if they did, it wasn't like they could say anything about this budding romance. A bandit and a shepherd could hardly judge a pirate and a princess.
*******

The second and third fics were requested by sydsorbet : 1. Belle and Henry spending time together as grandma and grandson.

Belle sat in the back of the pawn shop, a cold, wet cloth in her hand as she dabbed it on Rumple's forehead. He'd been out almost an entire day now, but after Emma becoming the new Dark One, no one had come to check on Rumple. It wasn't like she could blame them, though, after all he'd done to them.

Will had come by this morning with a coffee for her, but said nothing, leaving right away. She knew they'd have to have a discussion about what was going on, now that Rumple was back and likely himself again. She didn't love Will. Belle had a feeling he'd figured it out, thankfully.

Shortly after noon, Henry walked into the shop, slowly and hesitantly.

"I came to check on Grandpa," he said softly.

Belle got up from where she sat and hugged Henry tightly. He was so big now, taller than her.

"I'm so sorry about you mother, Henry," she said sadly.

Henry sighed. "It's okay. We're going to find her. But we'll need his help," he gestured to Rumple.

"He'll be happy to help. We'll find Emma, Henry," Belle promised will a small smile, hugging him again.

And...

2. David having a thorough discussion with Killian over what he can and can't do with his daughter.

"Alright, pirate, take a seat," David stormed into the loft, Killian following him.

The prince has not taken the news that his daughter's True Love turned out to be Captain Hook very well.

Killian chuckled and sat across the living room from Emma's father.

"Alright, Dave, go ahead, let loose," Killian smiled.

David just sat there, staring, for what seemed like forever before getting up and throwing his arms around Killian in a bear hug.

To say Killian was surprised would be an understatement, though he slowly returned the hug.

"Thank you for bringing her back to me," David said after returning to his seat.

Killian blinked in shock. He was expecting a lecture about staying away from Emma or how she was too good for him -which Killian already knew- but instead he got a hug.

"You're welcome, mate," he nodded with a smile. "Come on, let's make up for lost time with her," Killian gestured to the door.

David nodded and they returned to Granny's. Perhaps there was room for two men in Emma's life after all.

I hope you liked these! Like I said, I'll do my best to get access to the Internet in the next few weeks. Until then, I love you all.
