DISCLAIMER: Once Upon a Time does not belong to me, but I wish it did... BEST SHOW EVER!
(A/N: This is going to be my first fanfic ever! It takes place after the episode In The Name Of the Brother. I love OUAT so I hope you guys like this. It's in Emma's POV. Chapter 1 kind of sucks, but please continue to read it gets better)
I was shocked how he just walked into Mary Margaret's apartment and threatened us like that. But I was also sort of relieved that I could get his favor out of the way and move on with my life. It gets really annoying just waiting for Gold to tell me what he wanted me to do. And even if I wasn't in his debt, I probably would help him in his conquest. I figured Mr. Gold would be a much better person if he has his son in his life right now. According to Henry's book, Gold and Baelfire were close. And with Belle in her current state, I bet he's willing to do anything to take her off his mind.
Mr. Gold had left a couple minutes before the situation sank in. I literally had to get up and leave my new family to go help him look for his. I wanted to take Henry with me and my parents too. It's hard to part with family that you have just gotten to know. On the other hand, it may be harder to part with people you have known for an eternity.
I had a couple hours to get ready. I figured Bae wasn't nearby, so I packed enough clothes to last me two weeks (without washing) plus two formal dresses, though not all of the clothes I packed were mine exactly. But when your mom wears the same clothing sizes as you, you have to take advantage of it.
"Mom, isn't that Mary Margaret's shirt?"
"Uh- no?" I immediately stuffed the shirt into suitcase and zipped it shut.
"We're going to miss you," he said lovingly.
"I'm going to miss you all too," I said ruffling his hair playfully. "But I should be back soon, hopefully."
"I'm counting on that."
"But do me a favor, Henry. Try to find Regina and tell her I'm sorry for me. I feel so terrible that we falsely accused her, and I want to make sure everything is patched up. Plus, I'll bet you'll find her quicker than we would."
"I promise," he said.
"Good."
We walked back to the kitchen where David and Mary Margaret were still debating over which house to buy, which was pointless in my opinion since there are only so many houses in Storybrooke, Maine. Plus, I kind of enjoyed living with my family, it made me feel like I always had one.
It was 11:55 when I had completely finished packing, so it was a couple minutes later when I got the kitchen. It was time to say the dreaded goodbyes. They all hugged me and wished me well. Then, the door was magically opened, by Gold of course. Though you would expect him to at least try to lay off magic for a while for his girlfriend, but I guess since she doesn't remember anything, he's taking out his anger with his magic usage.
"Swan, we're leaving."
I turned around and mouthed goodbye to my family.
"I'm all set."
We left the apartment and got into his car.
"We're going to the hospital first, I uh- I need to see...Belle before..." He stopped talking. I felt really bad for him. First his son was taken away, now his girlfriend, he was living in a real-life tragedy.
Once we made it to the hospital Mr. Gold immediately went towards Belle's room. He was probably not going to go inside, I figured he might watch her from outside the glass room. I decided to not to follow him, I didn't want to intrude on his stalker time. Plus, I had someone I wanted to check on as well.
"Hello, Love," he said as I entered the room. He looked better than the last time I saw him. There was a mischievous twinkle in his eye, and he looked well.
"Hook," I said with a nod of my head.
"Nice to see you here Swan. I thought you may have forgotten about me already."
"Couldn't if I tried."
"Am I that attractive?"
"You fail to remember that you're famous in this world," I reminded him.
"Indeed. Now, why are you here, really? I'm not conceited enough to imagine you came all this way just for an old pirate."
"Gold wanted to see his girlfriend before he leaves."
"And what do you have to do with this?"
"He's going to go find his son and I'm coming with him."
"Why you?"
"You're so bubbly and full of questions today aren't you Hook? Last time I saw you, you looked half dead. You must be recovering well," I told him
"Spending time in Neverland has its perks, quick healing is one of them. Now, love. Answer the bloody question."
"Or what? You'll 'jab me with your sword'?" I asked mockingly.
He smiled wickedly. "I just may. That would constitute for an 'enjoyable activity with a woman on her back."
That's where I drew the line. "I didn't come here to get hit on, I just came to say hi, so I'll be leaving now."
"Wait, Emma," he said. "You didn't answer your question."
"Well, I am able to leave the city without a magical potion or whatever, so Gold decided to have me along because he wouldn't have to enchant someone."
"And, you are doing this of your own volition?"
"No, not exactly, but that isn't the point."
"Well, then love, we've had a nice enough chat. Now get out," he said rather rudely. I was shocked, I mean, how rude can someone get? But I did what he wanted me to do and found myself face to face with Jefferson upon my exit of the hospital room.
Now I'm not going to pretend I like the guy at all. He fucking kidnapped me, and hit me a couple times. I don't care if he was the Mad Hatter or whatever, I mean you can't be that CRAZY in real life.
"What do you want?" I asked him. I don't like to waste time. I get straight to the point.
"A chance to speak with you."
"How did you know I was here."
"I just know things."
"Jefferson, I don't appreciate people spying on me." He didn't have anything to say to that. Creepy psycho stalker.
"I get that. I just want to apologize. I haven't really gotten the chance to since the curse, you know, broke. And Grace has been nagging me about not being nice to Henry's mom. They're really close, so I figured it might be for the best if we made up, so it won't affect our kids."
"That's the only reason why you want to apologize? It's not because you feel bad for kidnapping me?"
"I do feel bad. That's why I'm apologizing."
"I thought you said your daughter told you to," I retorted.
"She urged me to, but you know what, forget what I said about Grace. I'm sorry, okay? All I want is your forgiveness."
I kind of felt bad for him. "Fine, I forgive you," I told him. I was really surprised when he pulled me into a hug and whispered into my ear "you don't know what this means to me." But I went along with it. He's happy. I'm happy. We're all happy, right?
I walked back towards the front of the hospital where I knew Gold would be waiting. I was ready to begin my adventure.
