Let's Save Our Son

"In order to bring Henry back, the Savior must travel to the very edge of Neverland and find the golden knife hidden in a safe guarded by creatures you've only experienced in nightmares. That's the only way to slay Pan now that he's become immortal." Wendy explained to the group.

Emma had her face buried in Neal's chest as he held on to her. She clung to him in fear of loosing him again. Tears stained his shirt but he didn't care.

Emma turned to look at Wendy with tears streaming down her face. "When can I go?" She asked.

"Whenever you're ready. I suggest taking someone with you who can fight." Wendy explained.

Emma sighed, knowing she only had once choice. Neal could fight, but not enough to slay a beast. Charming and Snow had to figure out a way to get off the island and Emma knew Regina would stay with Henry. That left Hook.

The pirate smirked at her. "Looks like it's just you and me Swan."

Snow and Charming handed Emma their weapons. "Good luck sweetie." Snow said kissing her head as Charming did the same.

Emma gave them a slight smile. "Let's take a short rest, we've all had a long day. An hour or so won't change anything." Emma cried at the end.

Neal instantly held her close as she cried for their son. Neal started to cry too. He missed Henry. He had missed Emma. He even missed his dad.

"Let's all get some rest." Regina said and wiped some tears. She stood up over Henry and put her hands over him. A white glow surrounded his body.

"W-What did you do?" Emma asked quietly.

"It's a preservation spell. To keep his body preserved until we get his heart back." Regina explained sadly.

Emma and Neal walked closer to their son and kissed his head softly.

Soon everyone had laid down and fell asleep except Snow. She sat up strait and looked at the stars above their makeshift campsite near Skull Rock.

"You still up?" Snow turned to see Charming behind her.

"Yeah, I couldn't sleep. I'm worried about Emma going alone with Hook." She explained.

"Emma's a smart girl. She'll be ok." He promised as he pulled his wife in to his arms. "And I know Neal is going to give Hook hell about trying anything on Emma before they leave." Charming said with a laugh.

"Neal's good for her. I can tell how much he loves her, he gives her the look you give me. Love." Snow said and kissed her husband.

"I love you." Charming said as he pulled away. Soon they too fell asleep.

Emma awoke with a start. It was a little bit lighter outside. Probably around 6am. She turned over slowly to face Neal. She poked his nose and he started to move.

"Neal, it's time. I have to go." She whispered.

Neal's eyes fluttered open and he nodded with sadness.

Soon everyone was up and Emma took Hook to sharper their bladeson the sharp rocks.

"You ready for this Swan?" He asked.

She sighed. "It's the only way to get my son back, I have to be ready."

Hook leaned closer to her. "You'll be ok Emma." He said and stepped closer.

"Please Hook, I can't do this." She said and pushed him away. "Let's just go."

Emma and Hook walked silently back to the makeshift camp, not saying a word to each other.

Neal gave Hook a look and walked up to him. "No funny business Hook. You help Emma get the knife. You bring it back and we save Henry. Got it?"

"Yes Baelfire." Hook said with a smirk.

Neal went back to his spot and Emma set down the weapons she had been holding, walking over to her parents.

"I'll be back soon. Don't worry about me." She said and hugged them tight.

"We love you Emma." Charming said and smoothed her hair.

Emma smiled and walked over to Regina and Henry. She knelt down beside his small body.

"I'll save you Henry. I promise." She said and kissed his head. She then stood back up, smiled at Regina, mouthed a 'thank you' and walked over to Neal.

"Promise me you'll be careful around Hook. He's not as sweet as he seems and..and..just promise me you'll be carful Emma. I love you and I've never stopped. You and Henry mean everything to me." Neal confessed and grabbed her hands.

Emma stared at him and pulled his lips onto hers. Neal instantly kissed her back. Emma had missed him so much.

She pulled away and said simply, "I'll be carful and I'll see you again when I save our son. I love you."

Emma and Neal smiled at each other. Until Hook cleared his throat.

"Sorry to interrupt this love fest but we need to go." Hook said with jealously in his voice.

"Good luck!" Wendy chirped from beside Snow.

"Ok then. Lets go save Henry." Emma said as she grabbed the weapons and the two of them entered the endless forest.
