The dark Lilith [OUAT Peter Pan X oc]

Chapter fifteen

''You okay, Dad?'' Emma questioned as David was pacing in front of Emma, who sat on top of the kitchen counter. Lillian sat on the dining table, reading another book to find a solution for the sleeping curse David and Snow were currently under. 

''I don't know.'' He answered, standing still for a second before pacing again. ''So... Hook, he... killed my father?'' Emma gave a slight nod, causing her father to rub his temple. ''Okay, that's a little tough to process.''

''I was hoping I wouldn't have to tell you.''

''Where the hell is Hook anyway? He didn't have the guts to come and tell me himself?'' David nearly spat out, Lillian rolled her eyes at that, of course he didn't want to face David, he killed his father. If Lillian had, she would crawl away in a hole and never come out. 

''There's more.'' Emma spoke up, stopping her father's pacing. ''Hook... he... left town.'' Lillian's head snapped up at those words, raising from her chair as she looked at Emma with disbelief written all over her face. 

''What?''

''We had a big fight about him hiding this, and I told him if he wasn't ready to trust me, that...that we shouldn't talk for a while, so I guess he wasn't ready, because Leroy saw him on the docks, and he got on the Nautilus and just ... sailed away.''

''Emma, I'm so sorry.'' David answered, pulling her into a hug. 

''Thanks, Dad.''

''He ... He's gone?'' Their eyes turned to Lillian, who they had forgotten about that she was even there. The tears sprung into her eyes as she stared at the father-daughter duo, shaking her head in denial before David walked towards her, allowing her into his arms and sobbing into his shoulder. 

Lillian sat on top of the desk in the police station, her hands skimming over a few pages before throwing them back onto the desk.

''I can't believe none of this was ever digitized.'' She spoke up, leaning back on her hands as David raised his shoulders. 

''Well, most of these files were created with Dark Curse technology, so...''

''Time to fix it.'' Lillian answered for him, extending her arm to take a file, grinning at the pages that were in there. 

''If busywork helps, busywork it is.'' 

''It is not busywork. It is necessary, and it beats chasing down dwarfs.''

''Debatable.'' He simply answered back before they heard Regina's voice pipe up from behind them, Lillian smiled at the older woman. 

''I've got just the thing to mend a broken heart.'' She spoke up, holding a small paper in her hands as she gave a proud smile. 

''Whatever spell that is, I don't want it. I'm seriously not in the mood for magic.''

''Well, who said anything about magic?'' she rolled open the paper, showing a coupon instead of a spell. ''It's a -for- drink coupon at that new pub. Aesop's Tables.'' after a small silence, she raised her shoulders. ''It'd be a shame to waste it.''

''Really? You think half-priced liquor is the way to go?'' David asked, his eyes skimming over the paper, Lillian snatching it away from him. 

''I certainly do. We need a ladies' night out. Me, Lily, Emma and... Snow.''

''Remember she's in a sleeping curse? She's at home asleep.'' Emma spoke up, her eyes eyeing the paper in Lillian's hands, causing the teenager to look up and passing it to her. 

''Well, she doesn't have to be asleep.'' Regina answered, her eyes roaming towards David, who's eyes became wide. 

''Oh, come on. I just woke up.'' When Regina and Lillian looked at him, he sighed and shook his head at them, starting to walk out of the station. ''I guess she doesn't have to be asleep.'' Regina smiled at the blonde as Lillian already jumped of the desk. 

''I can't.'' Emma spoke up. ''I'm about to go on patrol.'' She than turned to Regina. ''And shouldn't you be trying to break that curse?''

''Well, I'm working on it, but I could use a break. We all could.'' [Sighs] ''I know you're hurting. And I know you're trying to hide it because you're... Emma. -- But you can't just run from this.''

''I didn't run. Hook ran. So, there's nothing more to say.'' She spoke up as she sat down in front of the papers, Regina now playing with the paper in her hands, turning to Lily who pursed her lips together, raising her shoulders in defeat. 

Lillian sat on the couch next to Peter as he played with a strand of her hair, the twins were playing on the PlayStation in their room, leaving their parents some rest. She had an open book on her lap, but she was no longer paying attention to it, for now, she was just enjoying the feeling on Peter sitting next to her. 

''It's a shame that Emma didn't want to go to that pub, you could use a break.''

''Oh Emma is going.'' When she saw the frown on Peter's face, she chuckled. ''Regina and snow got an idea to get her there anyways.''

''Than why didn't you go?'' she raised her shoulders as she leaned her head onto his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat. 

''I simply didn't feel like it ... It's nice to be home for a change.'' She smiled at her husband. ''To be with you again, it's been too long that I could just stay at home and ... '' 

''Do this?'' He asked before softly kissing her on her lips, earning a small chuckle from her, before it got interrupted by two voices. 

''Ewww.'' The two of them pulled apart, their heads turning at the voices, Liam and Luna standing there, looking disgusted at their parents. ''That's gross.'' 

Lillian opened her arms, smiling at her kids before they rushed to the couch, Liam crawling under his mother's arm and Luna being pulled in by her father's arms before he kissed her hair. Her bright blue eyes stared up to him before flattening down her light brown, straight hair.
