warning: spanking in this chapter, don't like, don't read

Kila held onto her father tight and hid her face as Hook explained the situation that was uncovered recently to the Charmings even though she didn't want him to. He deamed it necessary however. She took to hiding her face when she became slightly mad at her father. Although all were sympathetic and shocked at the retell, David was most empathetic, being affected by the poison so recently as well.

"Oh my God," Emma said in almost a motherly concern. Upon hearing the saviors voice, Kila unhid her face and reached out to her, wanted her attention now. Emma quickly abliged as she swept the girl from Hook's arm and cuddled her.

"We need to discuss this with Gold," Snow said, eyeing the young girl with worry.

"Snow's right," David chimmed in. "She seems ok for now but we need to get the antidote as soon as possible."

"Yes, but I know the crocodile won't give in to my demands," Hook said in his annoyed voice he gets when having to talk about Rumpelstiltskin. "Perhaps you could help me persuade him. I don't care if I even have to make a deal with him. I need that antidote."

"There will be no need for deals. Neal told him to help us so he will but we need to know how bad it is to get the correct dosage," Emma informed them as she tried getting a look at the poison. Kila squirmed from her advance.

"Noo..." she whined. Kila was not too happy at the moment, listening to everyone talk about her like she wasn't in the room. She also just wanted Emma to hold her; she didn't want to move or for them to see her marked skin. It was slightly embarrassing and awkward, having them actually want to help her. She had done everything for herself in life but now others were there to care for her. That was something she would have to get used to. But for now, she would continue to be stubborn.

"Woh, it's ok, kid, I just need to see how bad it is. We want to help you get better." She tried again only to have the young girl push her hands away forcefully.

"Kila, that's enough," Hook spoke up. "Let Emma see." Kila made an unhappy grunt at her dad's slight scolding. Again, the savior tried and again Kila pushed her away.

"What is it, honey?" Emma asked in her mom voice.

"I don't want you to look at it. Leave me alone," she said grumpily. Her behavior could also be contributed to how little sleep she received during the night.

"I get it but it's necessary. Please don't push my hands away again, got it?" she tried with a slightly sterner voice. This did nothing to deter her cranky behavior as she openly smacked Emma's hands with a loud snapping noise when she tried caring out the simple task the girl made more challenging by the second.

"Ow," Emma said out of surprise. The others grew surprised as well and David and Snow stepped out of the room, unsure of how Kila's disobedience would be handled. They didn't want to make Kila feel uncomfortable or embarrassed. If Emma was that age and acting in that manner such as hitting her mother (although Emma wasn't technically Kila's mother) they both knew how they would have dealt with it.

Over his initial shock, Hook plucked Kila from Emma's arms and stood her firmly on the ground.

"You will not strike at Emma, young lady. Do you understand me? I don't know what's going on with you but I'll warn you now; it had better stop." The emotional, tired and cranky little girl just huffed, unsure of why she had done that, especially in front of her father and to Emma, the closest thing to a mother she had. She was too worked up in her emotions to feel sorry just yet. All she felt was a twinge of anger. She should be the one to decide who looks at the poison marks. She had made her own decision all her life. So why couldn't she now?

"Kila, do you understand me?" he repeated.

"No," she huffed, "I don't want her to see. I didn't want you to tell anybody. I just wanted you to help me..."

"I had to tell somebody in order to help you. I can't make an antidote for you, only Gold has done it and he will not give it to me. I needed help getting you well and I understand that you're upset but that does not give you the right to treat Emma that way."

"But..." Kila started.

"No, you are not going to try to justify your bad behavior. Apologize this instant," he ordered.

"No," she said very strong willed. She reminded Hook of his younger self and he knew his older brother, Liam, would not have allowed him to act this way so he could not allow her to do so.

"I think I'm going to step out for a bit," Emma said as she sat the little girl down and followed the footsteps of her parents.

"What did you just say?" Hook asked, incredulously.

"No," she repeated with attitude.

"I hope for your sake, young lady, that is just the poison talking. Go apologize to Emma."

"Why? Who is she to me?" she said and her choice just kept pushing Killian to punish her.

"Emma is...she's... very important to this town and will be in our lives, hopefully. You will treat her with respect like I told you as part of the rules. Do not make me implicate consequences." Hook stood over his daughter as he said this, looking very intimidating.

"No," she said less boldly but Killian had had enough of her incompliance. He took his disobedient daughter by her arm as he sat down and pulled her over his lap. Kila could not believe what was happening. She didn't want a smacking.

"I warned you," was all he said before she felt the first sharp smack.

"Ow! Don't."

"Something you're going to have to understand, Kila Jones, is you do not make all of the decisions around here. I am your father and you will learn to obey me," he said sternly as he continued swatting her backside.

"Ok! I get it! Please stop, daddy!" she cried.

"Are you going to apologize to Emma and stop with this disrespect?" Killian asked, hoping she would agree so he could stop. He really hated this; he didnt want to punish her especially seeing how sick she is but she has been asking for boundaries since she arrived and he would give them to her.

"Yes! Yes, sir! I will, I promise!" He gave her three final smacks before setting her upright and pulling her into a hug.

"Good, now I want you to apologize to Emma and if you ever do anything like that again you will be back over my knee. Is that understood, Kila Liann?"

"Yes, sir," she answered, a little thrown off by the second name. "Liann?" she questioned.

"Emma told me how you didn't have a middle name so I created one for you kind of after my older brother, your uncle, Liam."

"Where is he?"

"He died, love, from the same poison affecting you as we speak. That's why I was upset to learn I didn't notice your symptoms. I should have but I didn't and for that I am sorry. I need to get you well, baby girl, so please no more fighting me on this matter, please?"

"Ok, daddy," she said as he pulled her into a hug.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

"We need another antidote," Emma informed the broker, Mr. Gold.

"Why? Your father seems perfectly fine," he said in his usual tone.

"We don't need it for him, it's for someone else."

"Who, may I ask has been inflicted exactly? You Miss Swan?"

"No," Snow spoke up, "Hook's..."

"Oh it's for him, is it?" Gold cut her off. "Well if he is the one that's suffering this painful death, allow me to watch."

"Rumple!" Belle chastised.

"It's for his daughter, Kila," Emma explained.

"Ah, the newest arrival, of course," he said plainly. "The offspring of my most hated enemy. Excuse me if I'm not jumping to help."

"Rumple!" Belle exclaimed again. "She is only a child. Help them, please. Bae would want you to."

"I would want him to what?" Baelfire asked, coming out from the back room of the shop. "Papa?"

The dark one did not answer so Neal turned to his stepmother who he had grown very close to.

"Mama?"

"You would want your father to help Kila, Killian's daughter, since she has been infected with potion from Neverland," she explain. Neal, in his deaged 14 year old body, made an annoyed face at his father before Gold conceded and gave the group the potion. After being reunited in Neverland and returning home, he had agreed to let Rumpelstiltskin changed him into a child, the child he had lost. Everything seemed to run pretty smoothly this way since Henry also agreed to the change. He wanted his father and grandfather to be happy. Besides, it seems as though he has found the father he had always wanted in Hook.

"Thanks!" Emma called as they raced back to Kila and Hook.
