@obisgirl, what I mean is Hook has a strong love for the sea. He may give up pirating as such but he’d still want to sail rather than being stuck on dry land until the end of his days. Maybe Emma and Hook could go on monthly sailing trips then both get what they want, Hook isn’t completely cut off from the sea, Emma gets to be with her family for most of the time, Henry gets chance to see all his parents if he stays behind whilst Hook and Emma are off sailing. Everybody wins.
