I wrote this story long ago but never thought it was good enough to post but then a certain follower of my other's stories offered to read it and told me to post it so here it is. More chapters to come soon x

Henry POV

"You're going to hell," Mary-Margret voice traveled up the stairs, stopping me in my path. I had just woken up after I cried myself to sleep a few hours ago, I had full intent to go downstairs to my family, but this new development made my blood run cold and my feet stick to the ground like glue.

"The Underworld," My Mom's voice replied emotionally.

'The underwor- What?'

My thoughts screamed in my head, a few hours ago, I had left my Mom in her house for some time alone; I thought she would be safe but I should have known better than to underestimate the Saviour losing her true love. Yes, I said it true love, if they weren't then I'm not the author.

"That's quite a distinction." David replied. I couldn't see them but I could feel the tension physically sitting in the air. You wouldn't believe the famous Prince Charming ever becoming friends with Captain Hook let alone best 'mates' and I knew he's staying strong for everyone, but was breaking on the inside.

"I'm getting him back. This isn't fair to Killian," A felt more tears well up in my eyes, and a silent one run down my cheek, "Gold tricked him. Everything he gave up was based on a lie." I clenched my fists together, anger running through my bones.

"Emma, you know how this works? It's a one for one trade. To bring him back, someone else must die."

"You just got back from being the Dark One. You can't give into darkness again."

"I won't. I'm giving into love," For a second, I felt my heart flutter, my Mom, Emma Swan was finally giving it to love.

"I'm doing this right; I'm taking a page out of your book. You two share a heart, so will we"

"It could work!" My other-Mom Regina said, sincerely. As much as she would deny it, she really did care about Emma and they were close friends; in their odd little way.

"It will work" Mom replied with just as much determination as she did all those months ago, before this whole mess started. An awkward tension fell over the group as they decided their next move.

"We need a name!" I said announcing myself to the group when I reached the middle of the stairs, they all jump slightly startled by my voice.

"Henry, how long have you been standing there?" Regina asked.

"Long enough," I replied strongly but the way all their faces fell when they saw my tear stained cheeks showed they knew full well I was screaming on the inside. "We need a name!"

"Henry, you can't come!" Regina, David and Mary-Margret all replied at once.

"Why not!" I shouted back. Everyone stared at me in shock, it's very rare I raise my voice, but this was something I would fight for; no matter what, "I have every right to save him along with you. I've been with them every step of the way."

"Henry-" Regina started to argue back but I cut her off.

"No! If anyone knows more about their relationship, then them it's me. They've meet 4 different times all in with different realms and realities, they kissed about 25 times, held hands well over 30 times, hugged 24 times, said I love you 5 times and my favourite fact have had only one date to be exact in three years."

I'm meet by silence so I continued, "He helped me get over my dad. Took me sailing. Saved me from my almost flying monkey step father,"

"Excuse me?" David said, turning to face his daughter head on with his mastered dad face.

I rolled my eyes at him and ignored him. "We fought together past two guards, taught me to win dice and he was the only one who didn't over react about Violet. He gave his life to save our family which he's only really known for 3 years." I looked across the room to see my Mom staring sadly and lovingly at me at the same time, she knew we were close but didn't know how close till just then and she began to cry again as the pain in her heart grew.

"Henry?" David said in disbelief, "I had no idea"

"I'm supposed to be the truest believe! I'm supposed to be the author! And with that I can't get one wish. I know I should want Neal back but I don't! I want Killian Jones back! I just want my dad back," I sobbed the last part out as I lost control over my emotions and broke down where I stood. I heard Regina and Mary Margret gasp at my sudden revelation but I can't see them through my tears. Before I knew it, I felt myself being pulled into my Mom's loving embrace and I buried my face into her blonde locks.

"Oh Henry," she whispered to me, she pulled me back so she could look me in the eye and used her thumb to wipe away my tears even though her still fell.

"You can come under two conditions," I smiled weakly at her, "one: you stay close to my or Regina the whole time and two…. And two you promise to say that to Killian as soon as you see him because I think you might just make the big scary pirate cry," she watery laughed out.

"I promise Mom," I said, "Now for the name?"

The rest of the group chuckled slightly knowing my passion for operation names.

"You choose Henry?" Regina said, giving me a loving smile.

My smile grew as I walk over to my back pack and pull out a newspaper page, "Operation Light Swan Part II," I said handing the page over to Mom.

"What was the original Light Swan?" Mary-Margret asked, smiling at the new found hope we all had.

I turned to Mom expecting her to explain it, but she's staring at the writing one the page, "It's what me and Killian called when we looked for a house for us in Camelot."

"As in your house?" David asked turning to his daughter put pulling up short at his daughters shocked expression, "What's wrong, Emma?"

"Operation Swan-Jones?" Emma asked, looking up at me shocked.

I smiled timidly at her, "Don't ask me, that was Killian's operation Mom not mine"

"He was going to propose?" she whispered in disbelief before breaking down again and surprisingly Regina pulled her into a tight hug, whispering soothing words into her ear as Robin wraps his arms around the pair of them. I turned to my side where my Grandparents pulled me into a tight hug between them. It only lasted a few Moments when Grandpa pulled away slightly to pick a folded piece of paper that had fell from my bag to the floor.

"Henry, I believe this is yours," he said handing it to me.

My forehead crinkled in confusion as I open the page and I felt my tears return when I saw my name printed at the top of the page in the distinct hand writing of Killian Jones. I gasped and stumbled back on a nearby chair.

"Henry?" my Mom called, "What's wrong?"

"It's Killian," I whispered so quietly I don't think they heard me but they did, "It's a letter."

I wiped away my tears and started reading.

"Henry,

I'm guessing I owe an explanation and if your reading this then my plan obviously worked. I knew straight from the moment your mother turned me in the meadow back in Camelot that the only way this was going to end would be if one of us died and a bloody hell wasn't going to let it be Emma.

I did terrible things to each and everyone one of you, and you need to know I never -not for one minute- believed a word I was saying. The only way to save you all was to lie, to pretend, to hurt you all.

I tricked Emma into to returning to Storybrooke knowing it was the only way for my plan to succeed. She did put a kink in my plan with the whole memory thing, but hey when does Emma ever follow plans…. Anyhow once I regained my memories my plan continued and well you know the rest.

I know I should be writing this to Emma but I can't bring myself to write it so my bloody brilliant Author I am telling you and I only ask one favour.

You have always been like a son to me and now I need you to step up lad and look after your mother because knowing her, her armour is back up and I can't let her do that so you must remind her off the good in the world no matter what. Tell her not to let all my hard work go to waste, not like my rum.

What do I always say? The Dark One lies, the Dark One tricks. Well that is what I had to do… I had to play the part.

I am so sorry for everything Henry but I had to save you, I had to be the hero for a change not the villain.

Killian Jones"

I finished the letter and looked up, everyone had tears in their eyes, and small smiles on their faces. I looked back at the letter and notice a small envelope attached which said Operation Swan-Jones written on it so I walked over to Mom and had her the envelope and with a sad smile she emptied the content onto the kitchen side. A ring fell out with a small note attacked saying: "the one around your neck is your protector and the one here was our future. Now it will be your reminder."

Mom grasped the ring and pulled it close to her chest and her eyes closed as the tears built back up. When she opened them again she reached for the ring that hung around her neck and pulled the chain off, I thought she going to add the new ring to it when she turned to me and placed the chain around my neck, crouching down in front of me so she was having to look up and the new ring sitting in its rightful place on her left hand.

I stared at her with wind confused eyes. "This ring was Liam's" she said softly holding it in her fingers, "It the reason Kil… it's the reason Killian believed he survived. And now it will protect you forever just like it did for him."

"Mom I can't" I said in disbelief.

"Killian would want you to have it Henry. You meant the world to him." Mom pulled me tight to her body and I cried silently into her chest. She stroked my hair softly and looked up to the rest with determination in her eyes, "Killian thought he was saving us. He pushed everyone away. He lied to me just to save me and now Gold has taken that from him. And I bloody well want to slap him right now for it. The Dark One lies, the Dark One tricks!" she scoffed and everyone chuckled slightly before she looked back down at me and me up at her and she said quietly, "We will save your father Henry. We will save my Killian."

However, Robin pointed out the one obvious we all forgot about, "Forgive me if I'm being the obvious but how does one get to the underworld"

"Gold!" My Mom's said together.

'We will find you Killian. Just hold on, we are coming for you'
