"Thank you, Tobias," Hook nodded, Hopefully it won't come to that.
Hook bent down to scoop up his little girl.

Ariel watched him, "Yes we will keep it in mind but I am hoping it wont come to that. Thanks so much Toby." She smiled.
Nick looked a bit sad Melody was leaving but Ariel knew they needed to get home and plan. She needed to talk with him as well. They said their goodbyes and Ariel headed for home with Killian.
Melody seemed to be in good spirits as she ran around the house playing. Ariel watched her while she cooked dinner. She had time to shower off the paint at least. Killian was currently in the shower as well which kept Ariel on full alert as Melody played.

Killian came out and put on a pair of loose pajama pants and a sleep shirt before making his way downstairs.
He scooped up Melody and swung her around," Are you ready for dinner, Love?"

Melody giggled and smiled as her father picked her up.
Ariel was setting out dinner plates she was in a state of worry and was trying very hard to keep calm. "Hey dinners ready," She told them setting out the steak and veggies. She smiled at Killian happy they at least got a few moments of peace before they had to worry about Melody.
Ariel sat down, she was clearly upset and trying to hide it. Ariel wasn't a very good lair. She set out Melody's food and Killian's Steak
"At least we get to have a nice dinner, I do think Melody should sleep in our room tonight don't you?"

He nodded," it'll be like camping," he smiled at his daughter," Maybe we can set up that.. that little tent that we got her last year"
He set down his daughter in her chair and went over to Ariel and hugged her shoulders," We'll be all snug together, it'll be fun" He kissed her cheek and led her over to the table.

Ariel smiled, "That's a great idea and we can tell stories." She laughed. Killian was always good at taking her mind off things for a while.
Melody was busying herself eating with both hands Ariel watched her surprised she could eat like that and not choke.
"I still think we should pack and plan in case. We can never be to over prepared. If you sailed the Rodger would you need a crew?" Ariel asked wondering where they would find sailors they could actually trust. "I already ordered a crazy amount of supplies from the general store." She smiled.
"Either way if we have to leave for any reason at all we will have everything we need and more." Ariel felt better now and she actually ate a bit of her food instead of picking at it which was what she thought she might do.

" A crew would make things easier.... " He nodded," We can deal with that tomorrow love... I think we've been through enough today"

Ariel smiled he was right and she was pretty tired. "Yes your right lets just eat and get Melody ready for bed." Ariel finished her dinner and cleared the table.
"Can you put her in the tub while I finish cleaning?" She asked him Melody was a mess. Ariel joined them in the bathroom as once she was finished.
Melody splashed around getting water everywhere while Ariel watched from the doorway. "She loves the water." She noted coming to sit on her knees at the tub.
"I think she will be a great swimmer one day."

"Course she will, with a beautiful mermaid princess as her mother?" He grinned," She's practically one half fish"

Ariel smiled walking over to her sitting down to wash Melody's hair Ariel hummed a bit. Finishing up with Melody she actually didn't run down the hall from her this time. Once she was clean Ariel dressed her. Then carried Melody into the bedroom Killian had started setting up the cute tent they had gotten her when their little girl turned two.
"Are we really going to fit in there?" She asked enjoying watching him struggle with putting together a bright pink tent with Disney princesses on it. She had a stressful day and getting a few moments away from it was a much needed distraction. After at least a half hour of work on Killian's part it stood in their room. Ariel laughed a few times while he was putting it together and Melody ended up falling asleep in her lap.
It looked nice when he was done though and they had a ton of blankets it got rather cold in Storybrooke at night. She put Melody down between them waking her for a moment. Ariel laid down next to her and waited for Killian.
"Story!" She announced. Ariel snuggled her into the blankets more between them.
She was still hurting to know her father was gone and she would never get his acceptance of her life. Then again maybe he did accept her in his own way. She could only hope now she was worried about Melody Ariel would never sleep tonight she planned on watching Melody most of the night.

Hook smiled at his little girl and climbed into bed beside her," Aren't you tired of all my stories love?"
She shook her head and giggled snuggling into her mother.
"Hook chuckled and stroked her hair," alright... Well perhaps I ought to tell you about a place I once ventured to. It was an island that was always warm and full of treasures...."

Ariel smiled, Melody loved Killian's stories the best she was pretty sure Melody would share a love of adventure that both of her parents had if she didn't already.
She seemed to have Ariel's sense of wonderment and Killian's stubbornness yet they could both be stubborn so that would be fun when she was older. Ariel ran her hand though Killian's hair as he talked about adventures he shared on the seas.
It didn't take Melody long to start drifting off she curled into Ariel's side.
"I'm so worried about her so I'm grateful you thought of this. Other then that very nice moment in the ship this has been a really crappy day." Ariel admitted turning to face Killian.

He chuckled and kissed her forehead gently.
"I think we both needed this, at least to keep a brave face in front of Melody," He glanced down at his little girl again and sighed," There has to be something more that we can do"

She curled into Killian as she remembered all the reasons she loved him so much. He was right they had to stay strong for her if anything.
"Me to I hate seeing her suffer like this I feel so helpless and what if it get worse." Before Ariel finished her thought Melody was struggling with something.
She watched her Melody shifted and cried a little. This went on for a few moments they watched wondering if this was a normal dream or a nightmare. Melody began to struggle before sitting up and screaming. Ariel and Killian cuddled her until she stopped. "Big wolf saved me from the scary black things in the woods." She said in her baby babble. Which was saying quite a bit considering how terrifying it was. Ariel swallowed.
"A wolf saved you Melody?" Ariel asked Melody nodded as if she understood.
"Could she be seeing things that are going to happen? Could that be Toby?" Ariel asked Killian a million thought going though her head. Why was Melody seeing the future if this was a torment planned by Ursula or could she see the things because she was clairvoyant? Was this a power she had because of her magical blood line? Ariel had no idea.
"I don't understand whats happening if this is her power then where does Ursula come in?" She held Melody worried.
The rest of the night neither Killian or Ariel got any sleep. Melody woke ever hour and by the time it was morning Ariel was in a state of near panic.

The next morning Hook had deep dark circles around his eyes from lack of sleep and anxiety from the previous night. It was the most frustrating thing in the world not being able to protect his daughter from these nightmares and knowing it was only going to get worse.
He had a solution in mind- but knowing Ariel she'd never agree to it. He had a bag packed downstairs, he would leave before Ariel was up. She was showering now. On the counter he left a note....
.... but from the stairs he heard the frail tired sound of his daughters voice, calling for her daddy. he sighed and went over to her placing a kiss on her forehead. She knew he was trying t leave. But what could he say to her? Something needed to be done.
