The Jolly Swan Surprise.

Ever since he'd started putting the finishing touches on his boat, Hook had been planning this party. When he realized it would line up perfectly with a certain someone's birthday, the plan was immediately modified.

The food he'd arranged from a local cafe was fairly simple, cut up fruit and vegetables with a variety of different sandwiches and meat pies, as well as some modern snacks like potato chips and the curly fries from the boardwalk. To drink, there was a juice and sodas as well as a fully stocked bar, all courtesy of funds from Hook's new job...not that he'd told anyone he'd gotten a job. It wasn't like there was any piracy to be had in Darrow and he would rather not have to put Emma in the position of having to arrest him.

He'd conspired with Henry, Charming and the others from their realm to make this a surprise for Emma. Some of the food was sitting on the table on deck but must of it was in the galley by the bar. In the center of the table under the deck was a cake made by Henry surrounded by cupcakes (There were some apple tarts, donated by Regina, but that had mysteries disappeared. Overboard. It's what the queen got for trying to clean his boat. It was perfectly clean thank you very much).

Hook had made sure to invite has many of both of their friends as possible and had them all gather on deck at the time Henry was supposed to bring Emma to the docks. There was a drape covering the name on the back of the boat. He was dressed in his pirate best, with his red waist coat and hook polished to a shine as he stood on the dock, two glasses of champagne perched next to him on a post.

[backdated to October 23rd. The boat looks like this yacht though the furnishings inside are much more rustic and only half the cabins have beds, the others are storage. The plumbing and electricity do work, but there are no TVs or anything by way of modern convenience outside of the galley.]

"As strange as it sounds, I'm probably slightly more forgiving of Gold," he says, though slightly is a bare measure and it's only barely. "Between saving me from the dreamshade and giving me the locator to find Snow, there's at least something in there to keep me from immediate rage, though he does like to stress that, doesn't he." And David is all too aware that things only happen because Gold wants them to.

"Maybe we should focus on the here and now?" he suggests. "Past errors don't make for good current friendships."

"I think we can manage both," Emma replied, tilting her head and studying Henry for a moment. She'd expected this to be harder, somehow. More awkward or...something. After the Walsh disaster, and then they'd lost Neal...apparently this was another example of Emma worrying more than was necessary, but that was her job as a mother.

"And, hey, maybe if you wanted to learn how to sail, that'd be okay," she added with a warmer smile. "So long as you wear your lifejacket. And do not engage in active piracy." That was a joke. Mostly. The stolen boat aside, it wasn't as though there was booming trade in piracy here in the city, unless illegally software and music counted.

"If I hadn't, Henry would've never been born," Emma pointed out wryly. "Look, I get where the concerns coming from, but I trust our son. And I trust Killian."

And that, as far as Emma was concerned, was that.

"All that and then some, though I feel like agreeing with that last part is borderline incestuous," Emma quipped, wrinkling her nose. "So subject change. You do realize you're technically standing on Captain Hook's ship, right?"

He laughs. "I gotta say, that is pretty fucking cool," he says. "But I'm more fascinated by the fact that you and Captain Hook are, like, seeing each other." That is pretty fucking interesting, in Delsin's opinion.

Emma wasn't interested in being friends with Gold, truth to tell. Something about him had never sat well with her and never would. But David had a point. "I gotta admit, seeing Regina in the past, it really made me realize how far she's come."

"How do you think I feel," Emma pointed out, blushing slightly. "I grew up watching the same movies you did. I mean, you get used to it, for the most part, but every so often there's a moment or two." Usually they hit when they were making out (which was not something she needed to burden Delsin with). It was great, and then from nowhere, Captain Hook just squeezed my butt.

She just hoped Killian interpreted her barely smothered giggling as ticklishness and not borderline hysterics brought on by the realization of how ridiculous and insane her life was.

"And I trust you," Regina said with emphasis. That hadn't come easily, but it was there now. So yes, that was that.

"I hope you like your present. It's hard to figure out what to get for the other mother of your son," she mused with a wry smirk. "Good alcohol has to be appropriate."

"From nearly killing you with her soldiers when you were a baby in my arms?" David poses, the bitterness long buried, but still there. He wishes he could be as forgiving as Snow, but he's not. He's still too stuck on aspects. "Then again, King George is just as vile in my mind. Our family really has a lot of enemies, when it comes down to it."

If this guy doesn't know his mom used to be a thief and was in jail once, Henry won't be the one to tell him. Sure, she wouldn't encourage lawless behavior, but he knows she's not super strict about stuff that might not be technically legal, as long as it isn't hurting people.

"I can totally keep a secret," he grins back, his curiosity piqued.

He didn't talk about it much, but his dad was, of course, always on his mind. But he was also 13, and old enough to realize that sometimes, even if you wanted something to work out between two people, it wasn't a guarantee. If his dad was still alive, he wasn't sure they'd even be together now. Because she liked Hook a lot, and he knew Hook liked her, too.

But his feelings about his dad were very much a personal thing. Missing him and grieving him were things he did on his own terms, and he could separate that from what was happening in their lives now. His mom deserved to be happy, and he knew it took a lot for her to let someone get close, so he didn't want her to lose that with Hook. The only thing he really worried about was her getting hurt. He liked Hook, and the uncertainty about things that might happen in the future shouldn't stop his mom from taking this chance, but he could still just...be watchful.

"I can promise to wear a life jacket, but no promises on the piracy thing."

It was still a little surprising, but Emma would have hope that by this point Regina would have realized she wouldn't let anyone around their son if she thought for a moment they'd hurt him in any way.

"Good alcohol is always appropriate," she agreed with an amused smile of her own. "Especially for the parents of teenagers."

"I do feel like I've been drinking more wine since he officially exited the 'pre-teen' stage," Regina said with a wry smile. "I think we have a son who is very much both of us, and I can't decide if that makes me more worried or less."

Emma wasn't about to make excuses for Regina's past behavior, she so she merely gave her dad a quick side-hug. "She saved Neal," she did point out. Maybe it had been a group effort, but it had been Regina's use of light magic that'd won the day.

Emma laughed and trapped him in a playful headlock, mussing his hair. "Brat," she teased, kissing the top of his messy hair. "Just remember that if you end up in jail, I'm calling Regina to make your bail."

"I know," David promises with a firm nod of his head. "Trust me, it's complicated and I'd much rather it be simple, but I understand that Regina has a place in our family and I definitely want to encourage her to be on our side. Things are better that way."

"I could probably horrify you with stories of my own teenage antics, but I'll spare you," Emma quipped. Of course, she hadn't had people in her life that loved her, like Henry had. Hadn't had a home, safety, security, all of that. It didn't guarantee that Henry would be a perfect child, of course, Emma would've actually been a bit sad if he never got into any trouble. But still, it made a huge difference.

"Please do," Regina smirked in return. Though, she hadn't been an angel. Had Cora not been so severe in her punishments, Regina would have attempted to get away with quite a bit more. But the evidence of her attempt at rebellion once was on her upper lip.

"He'll be a teenager, he'll do things we don't approve of. But he has a good heart, and a good head on his shoulders. I think we'll get through it just fine."

"Mom," he pouted playfully. "She'd probably make me stay there overnight so I'd learn my lesson." Well, probably not really, though there was a slim chance of that.

"I'll be good," he promised.
