A/N: I had the idea of this story during S4-A (hiatus) But until now encourage me to write it. Obviously it's an AU story, so I want to clarify something before you start reading it. The story is divided into two stages: Past and Future.
The part of the past is completely AU. After Rumple kills Peter Pan, Regina finds a way to stop the curse (Don't ask me how) So, Emma and Henry never go to NY and the others don't return to the enchanted Forest. (- And it's at this time where I place my version of the past).
A year later Zelena arrives at Storybrooke (Don't ask me how) Rumple is alive, Neal dies, Emma and Killian travel to the past and everything happens as it happens in the series again. (I hope you understand me).
I'm not a profectional writer, I'm not Adam or Eddy. So maybe I have mistakes, but I'm trying to do my best. Btw my first language is not English, so sorry for the mistakes in my grammar. I hope there are not many, but if there are any, I would be grateful if you would tell me so I could improve. Thank you!

Chapter 1
Friday January 20, 2023
Silence. That was the first thought that passed through her mind upon waking that morning. Enjoying that strange moment she closed her eyes again and let her mind wander. The bed beneath her body felt so comforting, the breeze coming through the windows and caressing her skin was definitely comfortable, but without a doubt the arm around her waist was the best part of that morning, the body that lay next to her. That body that had made her lose control the night before after a long day's work, that man who had made her forget her name and guided in a dance of emotions.
She smiled to herself, remembering that game they had embarked on the night before. She stretched lazily and could almost swear that she had purred like a cat. No, definitely those morning weren't very usual in her life. Reluctantly she opened her eyes and looked at her man.
She could not deny that she had felt a small twinge of envy when she saw him still asleep.
She moved a little closer to him and gently laid a few kisses on his cheek that followed that imaginary path that passed through his mouth, until his neck. She felt the exact moment when he woke up and she smiled to herself.
"Good morning," she said with rough voice and gave him a last kiss. He smiled.
"Good morning, love," he replied and ran her blond hair behind her ear.
The two of them looked at each other for a few seconds and kissed slowly. Killian wrapped his arms around her and stroked her hair in the same way he always did. A slow and sweet kiss that at the same time was demanding and wild.
"We can't" Emma said between kisses. She could feel Killian's hands following the path of her legs and she could certainly feel the demands of her own body, she wanted more.
She closed her eyes feeling that wave of pleasure anticipating what would happen, Killian kissed her neck while his hands explored her body "Killian, we can't" - she repeat again in a barely audible whisper.
"It's too early, she will not come" He said against her mouth and kissed her again.
They could feel the temperature of their bodies rising. The urgency, the desire and the passion. Their hands searching the body of the other and their kisses more and more urgent. God, she wanted him so much, her body wanted him so much, but she knew that if they followed, they could not stop.
"Killian ... I can't" - She took his hands and reluctantly rolled to the side of the bed "She always comes and you know it"
With an almost painful sigh, Killian looked at her for a moment. The sexy morning was over.
He leaned on one elbow and looked at Emma who was still a little flushed.
"Love, it's ..." He look at the clock that was on the small table and was almost surprised himself "... it's 7 in the morning, I'm pretty sure she will not come at this time"
"Today is her birthday and you know what that means, she will certainly come at this time. She always does it since she learned to walk and ... "
And before Emma could finish saying anything, they both heard the noise slowly approaching. A noise that was taking shape in two simple words "My Birthday"
Emma looked at Killian in that way that said "I told you"
"And I'm pretty sure she only learnedto speak to pronounce those words" - He said. They both laughed and looked at the door in anticipation.
The door swung open, revealing the little smiling blonde.
"MOMMY, DADDY ITS MY BIRTHDAY!" The little blonde screamed excitedly and ran to the side of the bed where her mother was, stretched her little arms towards her and Emma took her in her arms with ease "Mommy's my birthday!" She said again completely entranced
"I heard you baby" Emma laughed and kissed her on the cheek "How is my birthday girl?"
"Today i'm gonna be a princess, mommy" The girl said completely fascinated, her smile almost seemed to split her face and her eyes danced completely with joy.
"You already are a princess. My little princess... every day" Killian said smiling to his little girl. He took her blonde hair and passed behind her ear.
"But today i'm gonna wear a princess dress, just like mommy when she was the princess Leia" She said proud and entangled her arms over her mother's neck
"Even more beautiful, baby" Emma kissed her nose and smiled at Livie's laugh. Her five year old was so happy when it was her birthday.
She smiled remembering what Livie wanted for her birthday party. She just want a princess tea party in the Jolly Roger with "a lot, a lot, a lot brightness and pink everywhere" Those were the words of Olivia when Emma asked about her party.
"Daddy"She asked jumping from Emma's lap to Killian's lap. "Are you going to dance with me as you danced with Mommy? "
"I would never miss a dance with my little princess" Killian got up from the bed and put her on his hip, He took one of her little hands and in an almost dramatic way began a dance while humming a melody.
Livie started to laugh loudly and Emma could only smile when she saw her husband dancing with her daughter.
She was completely a daddy's girl.
"Okay you two, sorry for ruin your little dance but miss Olivia need a shower and daddy you need to do the breakfast"
Emma got up from the bed and walked over to where they stood, stretched her arms toward Olivia and the little girl immediately sit up in her mother's hip.
"Mommy..." - she begged.
"I don't wanna go to school. I wanna go with you, school is boring" - Olivia lay her head in Emma's shoulder and she made her special puppy face.
"Sorry kid" Emma kissed her forhead "I know school is bored but you need to go. You don't want to play with all your friends? Play with Opal? she is you best friend"
"But i prefer play with you and daddy" - Livie said sadly as she played with Emma's hair.
Emma and Killian looked to each other and smiled. Their five years old always had a hard time when she got up for school.
"But how are you going to remember all your friends that your party is today if you don't go to school?" Killian said looking to Olivia and then to Emma hoping that his trickery work.
"Oh God! is true, maybe they forget that your party is today." Emma said dramatically "You should go. But is your birthday, if you don't want to go, you don't have to. That can be you birthday wish"
Both parents looked the little blonde almost sure that their trickery had worked.
Olivia thought for a moment and Killian could not help but smile when he saw his daugther. She was just a verision of her Emma: her blond hair, green eyes and same way from frown when they thought of something. Definitely he loved the two women in his life, he thought to himself.
"Maybe go to school is a good idea, mommy. I can have another wish" she said slowly
"Are you sure? we can play all day" Emma said to her little one as she put her in the ground.
"No, I'm sure mommy, i wanna go to school" Livie said this time more sure about that as she wrapped her arms in her mother legs.
"Okay, so go to your room and wait for me, i'm with you in a minute" Emma said stroking her hair.
"Okay" Livie said simply and ran to her bedroom as she singing her special own song about her birthday and before she enter to her bedroom she yell one more thing "Daddy! I want my special hot cake"
Killian and Emma laughed. She wrapped her arms in his neck and she gave him a kiss on the jaw.
"She always come" she said with a shy smile
"Yeah! Well... we're lucky that you always have reason, but now..." He kissed her neck and followed the path up to her chin and then to her lips. His hands ran slowly down her body.
"What are you doing" - Emma asked between kisses.
"We have a full minute before you have to go with Livie, we could use it in a very good way" They both smiled and took a few steps back and fell on the bed.
"You have to make the breakfast" She said wrapping her legs in his torso
"I have a minute..." Both lauged. Definitely they would use that minute.

Killian and Emma had spent most of their evening decorating the Jolly Roger for Livie's party. Tiny tables set around the boat ready to have tea, a small improvised dance floor, a dessert table worthy for 5-year-old princesses and certainly all sorts of bright pink objects.
"How is it possible that the ship of a pirate captain can end this way" He shook his head placing the last couple of cups on the table. Emma smiled.
"Olivia has you trapped in her hands, Captain" Killian raised his eyebrows and walked in Emma's direction. She laughed
"Just like her mother" He said putting a quickly kiss in her lips and wrapped her in his arms "I have a weakness for blondes"
"Oh! I had lucky to be brunette" They hear a familiar voice before Emma could say anything.
"Regina" Emma rolled her eyes and looked at the woman "I thought you would come later" she took a step toward her.
"Well, I didn't want to lose this special moment when the pirate pulls out his romantic side" Regina said sneering and killian rolled his eyes and with a smile he go with her.
Emma sighed. Regina and Killian always seeking ways to bother each other with any comments, she knew it was an old habit of both and that their relationship had improved greatly throughout the years, you could say that they were friends, good friends, but they don't admit it. She crossed her arms and looked the scene with a little smile in her lips.
"Well, I thought you already had enough romanticism with your thief. But if you want I can teach him a few things, your majesty" he said almost in a whisper with a provocative smile.
""I don't like the cheap prose, but..."
"Ok guys! enough. We have a lot of thing to do..." Emma said looking at Killian and giving him more pink globes and then looking to Regina "And you need to rest. I think doctor said that"
"Agg! that doctor wants me to stay in a bed. I'm just pregnant, Swa, I'm not sick also this is the only way that he stop kicking" she said putting her arms in her belly with a nasty face.
"He? it's a boy?" Emma said as she looked to Killian with surprise.
"Yeah! today we knew" Regina whisper and looked them with a shy smile "Will be Daniel" she say slowly. Emma smiled for the name, she knew how much it meant to Regina. Daniel had been an important part in her life and name her son like him was her way of honoring the memory.
"I'm sure that child will have very lucky to have you as parents" Killian said honestly looking at Regina as Emma nodded and took his hand.
"Thank you" she said proudly.
"But the way, where is Livie? If she seen all this right now... there will any muffins for the party" Emma laughed and crossed her arms.
"Why you ask me? is your daugther" Regina said without understanding and looking at her irritated
"She was going to go with Roland after school" Emma explained as she gave a nervous glance at Killian who truck toward her and both looked to Regina.
"Yes and she did, but Killian came for her before they reached the house" She said a little puzzled to see the face of Emma and Killian.
"Me? I... I haven't seen Livie from breakfast" He said quickly when he saw the two women looking at him. Emma and Killian looked at each other and both could recognize fear in the other's face. The words weren't necessary. Both knew the other's need to run by their baby and protect her from everything. He took her hand and squeezed strong.
"So where is she?" Emma said softly.

Monday January 20, 2014
It had been a long day. A very long day that was finally over. She could feel her tired, aching body ... and hungry, she thought to herself at the feel of the knot in his stomach.
All Emma Swan wanted was to get home and lie on her bed, eat a big bowl of cereal and sleep for two weeks in a row, but being in Storybrooke all she could get was a bowl of cereal and her almost eight Hours of sleep. Except if there was a problem, in that case she had to jump her food and settle for only her eight hours of sleep. "Hell, I couldn't even see Henry"
She was definitely irritated, tired and somewhat annoyed. How could it be that in a small town like Storybrook so many problems arose. Every day, every hour, every week. The savior had no vacation, no days of rest. Even had a life of her own the savior?
She even't known in this height of the road. She opened the door of his yellow beetle and climbed into the car. In a matter of minutes she would be at home taking a hot bath, relaxing and ready to rest. Nothing could go wrong, she thought smiling to herself.
She started the car, adjusted her seat belt, and looked at the inside rearview mirror. It was at that moment when the surprise tinged her face, her eyes widened and her mouth fell a few inches.
"What the hell? " She screamed and looked at the backseat sure that her mind was cheating her. The fatigue, she had said herself.
But no, looking back, the small figure still lay on the back of her car. Her blond hair covered a large part of her face, her left thumb placed inside her mouth and her chest rose and fell constantly.
What the hell was doing a girl sleeping in the back seat of her car?
