Neal looked around the library as he sighed softly keeping his fists in his pockets. "It's ok. It's not your fault" Neal said, smiling softly at Belle as she gently squeezed his arm. Neal had made a vow not to let himself get upset, but, that hadn't worked out too well, once she mentioned the gifts that his papa had given her. "It seemed pretty easy that night" Neal said, blinking back the tears. "I'm learning that now, but, what was I supposed to think for all those years when I grew up alone after being abandoned." Neal said, blinking back tears once again. "It won't do much good now though. I saw that man once too." Neal looked up at Belle. "I'm trying to I swear." "I used to believe there was. That I was able to bring it out in him, but, when he chose that dagger over me it made it harder to believe." Neal's gaze moved to Belle's hand as she touched the side of his face. "I really want to believe that." Neal, more then anything did. "Forgot about what?" Neal asked as he watched Belle move behind her desk, looking for something. Neal moved towards the desk as he wondered what it was. "Oh, um..." Neal said confused as he took the box from Belle. "So he kept my stuff, even after he let me go that night?" Neal asked.

Neal waited to see which one of them came out from the back. Seeing that it was Belle made Neal smile softly, but, also nervous at the same time. This woman Belle, was obviously important to his father, and, this made him worry. Since he hadn't felt important to his father, and, yet this woman was good enough to be in his life when he wasn't. That moment on the docks when he hugged his father for the first time in so long was something he hadn't been expecting Belle to be a part of too. “Hey Belle.” Neal said, glad that she had changed what she called him from Baelfire to Neal. That was his name now, except for when it came to a select few people. “Yeah, I realised that too.” Neal smiled softly at Belle. “Um, well I haven't really got any plans tonight. Coming by the manor sounds alright. I've heard of that yeah, but, can't say I've tried it for real. It's ok, chicken Parmesan sounds fine to me.”Looking at Belle, Neal smiled nervously. He wasn't sure what to do right now. “Oh, ok then.” Neal said, sighing sadly before preparing to leave. “Really? I mean ok” Neal said, as he began to follow Belle to the entrance. Looking around the shop, Neal sighed silently. Ever since coming to this town, he still hadn't known who this stuff had once belonged to, and, he hadn't really cared. Neal felt more comfortable not knowing who he took this stuff from. “Woah, it's nice.” Neal said, looking at the library. Hearing her next words, Neal raised his eyebrows in slight surprise. “No, he didn't tell me that.” Neal said, watching her open the door, and, then made his way inside. Neal felt a pain on his heart as Belle spoke about what her and his father had back in the Forest. “That must be nice. Him giving you more stuff then he ever gave me. The two of us had a bit of a distant relationship by the end though, so it doesn't surprise me much. Just proves how much he cared and where his priorities were. Drops me through a portal, gives you a library. Two even” Neal said, sighing softly and sadly as he looked down at the ground, blinking back some stray tears. Belle French |

No matter what Neal wanted to believe, his papa would always be the Dark One. But, what he wondered was would that man be his father again? After these centuries, Neal only wanted his father back, even if he didn't know it growing up. "I'm glad you're not lying to me papa. So you are dealing with it?
Yeah, I'm staying here for as long as Henry needs me around. Trying sounds great to me. I need to be sure of that.
Lunch sounds nice papa."

EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS, HAPPENS BY DESIGN. AND THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT. Ever since the return from Neverland, Neal had felt strangely more at home in Storybrooke. The whole vibe, and, after everything that happened back on that island with his father had given him a new perspective of where he belonged.
Neal knew that this time around though, he would be getting more then just his papa. He would be getting his papa's girlfriend Belle as well. He didn't know that much about her, or who she was. Besides the story he knew from this world of Beauty and the Beast. But, Neal could sense there was more to her then that, and, he wanted to find out what it was. If she would be up for it, that is.
He had heard from around town that Belle could usually be found one of two places. Either in the local library, or with his father in the shop. Neal just hoped that, when he got there that Belle would actually want to see him, and, try to get to know him. Since Belle had signed up for his papa, and, not him. Would she be just like all the other foster parents he'd once had?
Neal stopped by the Diner to pick up a hot cocoa and a tea, before making his way to the Pawnshop, if Belle wasn't here, and, his papa was, well, that wouldn't exactly be the worst thing in the world. At least he didn't think so. Soon, he spotted the Pawnshop up ahead, and, he smiled softly. There was something in his heart that was dragging him there, like it was trying to tell him where he really belonged.
Reaching the door, Neal used the side of his body to open the door, hearing the bells above the door chime. “Hello? Is anyone in here?” Neal called out, waiting for one of them to answer. The door was open, so, obviously one of them was here. Now he just had to wait to find out which one. template by Margie @ Adoxography 2.0 |

EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS, HAPPENS BY DESIGN. AND THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT. Neal kept his face resting in his hands, as he sat on his bed in the Bed and Breakfast. Feeling his papa's hand on his shoulder, Neal resisted the urge to nudge it off. Right now, he kind of needed to know his father was there, and, he didn't want that feeling to disappear. When his papa hugged him, Neal placed his face onto his shoulder as he wrapped his arms around him. After so long, Neal was finally hugging his papa again.
“There's so much you don't know papa. You were all the father I ever needed, before that dagger. I don't know if I want to risk giving you a chance again. I mean, after what happened the last time and everything, I don't know if I'm ready for that. After being a lost, unwanted little boy who didn't really matter for so long.” template by Margie @ Adoxography 2.0 |

EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS, HAPPENS BY DESIGN. AND THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT. "Don't you get it papa? I never saw you as anything like that. Well, up until that moment when we were over that portal. You were just my father."
Yeah I remember papa. Well the difference is I wouldn't let someone make me do that. So, you were afraid of becoming the father I loved again? And abandoned me for it? Regretting it is one thing, actually doing something about it is another. You wouldn't have had to find me if you had just come with me in the first place.
"What I had to endure growing up was that I was no-one's choice or no-one's real kid anymore. I wasn't even special to anyone anymore"
"I wish that were enough this time papa."
Neal felt his eyes tearing up as he sat down on his bed at Granny's, resting his face in his hands. His whole life from the moment he was 14 had been lonely and he'd been nothing, but, a lost boy.
Maybe one day he and his papa could fix their relationship, which was why he called his papa anyway. template by Margie @ Adoxography 2.0 |

I THOUGHT PIRATES ONLY CARED ABOUT THEMSELVES. YOU HAVE MUCH TO LEARN BOY Bae knew that it could be easy to trust someone, as long as they told him the truth from the start. It was the thing that started to rip apart him and his father. The trust issues between him and his father were unimportant and irrelevant now, this was about him and this pirate. His question about how much older he'd have to be was one he awaited an answer for. "Really?" Bae asked, waiting for a confirmation.
He didn't know whether he wanted an answer to that question. The one thing Bae wanted was a family of his own, he had had the Darlings, but, he was always just going to have been an add-on to their family. Bae had seen them as family, and, would've always been. But, there would've always been that feeling in the back of his mind like something was missing from his life. It had always just been him and his papa for as long as he could remember. That was what his family was, and, the family he wanted back.
His walls had broken down completely as he collapsed to the ground, feeling his heart break all over again. His father had been the one to take his mother away from him. On some level this pirate had started the whole thing, but, his papa had been the one to take her away for good. Now he never even knew if his mother actually was going to come back for him, if he was good enough for her. To come back for him, giving him a chance at a real family. Bae felt the tears escaping his eyes, as he broke down completely, the walls making him completely vulnerable for the first time since being abandoned.
Bae looked up as he felt Hook's hand on his back. He slowly felt himself calming down, but, he sniffled softly. "I think I've realised that he isn't who he claimed to be. But, he had been once." Bae said, softly. Looking up at Hook, Bae tilted his head "Really? Because my father made that same promise once. How can I know that you never would. And that you'd never hand me over to Pan and his lost boys if the situation arose, to choose between yourself and me?" Bae had to be sure that this time he actually wouldn't be abandoned, and, that when a family promise is made, it would be kept. template by Margie @ Adoxography 2.0 |

EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS, HAPPENS BY DESIGN. AND THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT. “That's the point. I don't know if I can.”
Neal knew that things with his father might never exactly be perfect again, but, maybe now for once he could actually listen. He had spent his whole childhood wondering what he would do, and, what he would say when, or if he ever saw his father again. He had questioned everything in his head so many times, but, now the fact that he was getting the chance to do so was making things even worse. It made things harder.
He couldn't even use saving Henry as a distraction because his son was safe. And so was his father. Pan was captured, and, out of the way.
Neal fiddled with his hands nervously, as he just stood there thinking about where to start. “Papa, being back on that island, on Neverland. It got me thinking about what happened in my childhood. Growing up without you, and, all the pain I went through with the knowledge that you abandoned me.” template by Margie @ Adoxography 2.0 |

EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS, HAPPENS BY DESIGN. AND THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT. Bae could sense that on some level this actually could be Wendy for real, but, he couldn't let his heart believe that. He couldn't let himself have the hope, when it came to this island. Because Pan and his Shadow knew how to mess with these lost boys heads. A part of him wanted to rush over and help Wendy with her ankle, but, if this was Pan and he got closer who knew what would happen. The bow and arrow sat in his hand, but, he kept bouncing it up and down as if trying to figure out whether he should use it on her or not. He could sense that Pan's shadow may not have hurt itself while in Wendy's form just to mess with his head, but, at the same time it also might have known exactly how to bring out his caring side when it came to his family. Pan and his shadow was smart, but, so was Bae. He'd been on this island for a while now, and, he wasn't as naïve as he'd been when he first landed on Neverland. Bae watched with raised eyebrows as she went to sit down on the floor of the jungle where they were.
Most of the kids from that world knew it, of course at the time when he'd first played it he hadn't. But, that was because he wasn't from their world originally. The game had been fun, especially for someone like him who hadn't had many friends before arriving in their house. Bae was now questioning why someone would come back for him, since he hadn't even been good enough for his own father to choose over a dagger. So, why would someone who he wasn't even a blood member of their family come back for him? Bae kept his gaze on Wendy, refusing to believe that she was actually here. That his happiness had finally found a way to actually stick with him this time, and, that he actually had family. If this was all a part of Pan's plan, then it was a cruel joke, playing with his mind and giving him false hope, then he would find a way to repay the favour later on. Bae asked the question out loud to Wendy, and, his gaze stayed on her as he waited for her answer.
“It's just hard to believe you know. Family's important to me too.” Bae said, leaving off the rest of where his thoughts had taken that.
Bae knew that, once lava was mentioned that she was telling the truth. It gave his heart an ache that he hadn't felt since he went with the Shadow that night. They had taught him every rule they had for the game, as they tried to make him a happy kid. There was no way that Pan knew about that game, the kid was good, but, he wasn't that good when it came to figuring that stuff out. Secrets of the life out there in the real world without any magic. Lowering his bow and arrow, Bae couldn't stop the smile on his face as the tears came to his eyes.
“Yeah, that Shadow can be a bit of a pain when it comes to dropping people. When I first went that night, it dropped me into the Neverland seas, nearly drowned me.” Bae admitted, chuckling softly for the first time in a long time.
Bae didn't care how she looked, it couldn't be any worse then the day he showed up in her house with torn clothes, and, dirt everywhere. Bae now had no doubt that this was Wendy for real right in front of him. There was probably some things that Wendy could've said, that probably would've made him still think it was Pan's mind game, but, the mention of lava had been something that Pan definitely wouldn't have known.
“Oh yeah of course.” Bae said, lowering the bow and arrow and rushing over to her, taking her up in the biggest hug that he could. It gave him a feeling of warmth that he hadn't felt since flying off with the Shadow that night. template by Margie @ Adoxography 2.0 |

EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS, HAPPENS BY DESIGN. AND THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT. Sitting on his bed, Neal ran his fingers over the old scars on his wrist. Memories coming to his head from the London workhouses, and, Neverland. The place he'd once again escaped after voluntarily going back there to save his family. His sleep hadn't helped, but, it hadn't mattered, since his papa had woken him up with the knock on his door anyway.
He never actually expected his papa to come, or minded being called at that hour that he had been. Most people had reacted in a different way, yelling at him for waking them up, and, punishing him later on for it. A small smile grew on his lips, as he saw his papa standing there, before letting his papa inside his room.
Neal now realised that he was closer to having a family complete, which included his father now. He remembered all the times when he awoke from nightmares, hoping his father would be there for him. But, he never was. Neal, on some level just wanted to hug his father, like he had on the Jolly Roger, but, he wasn't sure he was ready for it just yet.
He was about to speak, but, his papa started to first. “I know papa. I'm kind of glad I called too. Well, while you figure it out. Why don't you let me say what I have to say, maybe in the moment you'll figure it out?” template by Margie @ Adoxography 2.0 |

YOU HAVE A DAD NOW. NOW AND FOREVER. I'LL NEVER LEAVE YOU Neal knew the temptations of that island, and, how the lies and betrayal that came with it could stick with someone. He had once believed Pan's words too, believed every word. That he was special to the island, and, that's why the Shadow had chosen him. Neal knew that when it came to magic, you always had to check the fine print of everything. His papa had reminded people of that fact, everytime he had made a deal back in the Forest. But, on some level, it had it's upside too. He had found out what his real purpose was, and, he'd gained allies in Regina and Emma. And he even, on some level had started to bond with both his father and Hook again. And he had finally freed Wendy, and, was able to hold her in his arms again, saving more then just one member of his family during this trip. Neal had wanted to be nothing like his father, and, be a good person who put others before himself. He wanted to be a hero of his own. And do something that his father hadn't done. Choose his family over anything else. Which he had done on multiple occasions.
Sitting there on the edge of his son's bed, Neal smiled softly as Henry opened his eyes. “Hey there buddy.” Neal said, so happy to just be able to sit with his son. Neal didn't want his boy to exhaust himself, but, he also wanted to get the chance to be with him. Something that the two of them hadn't gotten a lot of was time together. He'd never had the chance to know him for most of his life, the curse and having to make the decision to leave Emma didn't help with that. But, they were together now, and, that's all that mattered to him. They were the only real family each other had, Neal didn't know what to do about his father yet. He hadn't been there for most of his life when he needed him the most, but, now he was here. That wasn't the part to focus on, he would focus on being there for Henry in any way that he could, and, spending his time with him. “I think we're off of Neverland seas, but, we aren't quite at a safety distance just yet.” Neal said, softly stroking his boy's hair. “You were sleeping for a while, but, you'll be safe now I promise.” template by Margie @ Adoxography 2.0 |
