Astrid sat at the table in between her five year old and Emma as David kept piling endless amounts of pancakes in front of them.

Zephyr was currently eating some green grapes as David added one more pancake on Emma's plate, "Here you go."

"More pancakes." Emma remarked, "Usually, I'm lucky to get a lukewarm cup of coffee on your way to work."

"Can't a father cook for his daughters?" David also remarked while Astrid happily dug into her pancakes on her plate.

"Sure, but I'm the Savior, not a Romanian power lifter," Emma commented and glanced over at her sister who currently held a big mouthful of pancakes in her mouth.

"Speak for yourself," Astrid remarked as she chewed the mouthful in her mouth.

David chuckled and kissed both of their heads, "Enjoy your breakfasts."

"This is about Hook," Emma started as she looked over at their father who was currently facing the stove.

"No..." David also started, his back still turned, just as Snow cut in, "David."

David sighed and moved his hands over his hips and faced Emma, "Fine. It's about Hook. With him moving in, things are gonna be different. We're not gonna see you as much."

"Killian being here is not gonna change anything," Emma assured, "You can come cook me breakfast whenever you want. These leftovers, however, will probably last the next month or so."

"Again, speak for yourself," Astrid repeated as she dug into some more pancakes. "Mm."

David smiled at his daughters as Snow spoke up, "This is good. And things are getting back to normal."

Zephyr spoke towards his mother, "We're the normal ones, right?"

Astrid chuckled some and ruffled her son's hair, "In this family, we're anything but normal, which I find to be good."

The five year old grinned just as Henry stepped down the stairs and entered the kitchen, "You ready for your first day back at school, Grandma, and your first day of school, Zep?"

"You know it," Snow smiled as Zephyr nodded and added, "I guess so."

Regina, Robin, and Dr. Jekyll then entered the house as Astrid helped her son slide his backpack on and remarked, "Oh, Thor, this can't be good."
