This will only be a 3 chapter story! Maybe an Epilogue if requested :)
Chapter 1
Sobbing against the woman's hands as the brunette cups the blonde's face, Emma shakes her head abruptly. "I can't..I can't..do this..not without you..please.."
Swiping a tear away, Regina takes a breath while looking teary herself. "You have to Emma..for me..for the little one..plea-"
Crashing into her girlfriend, the blonde clings tightly while sobbing into the Mayor's shoulder. Holding onto her, the brunette rubs Emma's back then kisses her temple before whispering in her ear. "I love you so much. I promise you a good life but you won't remember any of this..this town and everything, everyone will no longer exist..it will be as though you never came here.." Biting her lip as her voice breaks, Regina clears her throat. "The only thing you will have..will be our baby..and you are going to be the best mother any child could wish for and you will love them enough for the both of us. Now, you need to go.." Nodding seriously, the Mayor pulls back then cups the blonde's face again before planting a soft lingering kiss to her lips then moves away completely.
Staring at the brunette, Emma lets her lip tremble as she sniffles then backs up towards her bug before climbing in and starting the engine. Peering briefly through her mirror at her girlfriend, the blonde attempts to hold the image of the woman's face in her mind as she drives across the town line, soon disappeared as though it had never happened with no sign of a town behind her but just a long, never ending road.

5 months later.
Laying stretched out upon her bed, Emma yawns as she lifts her head to peer down towards her protruding tummy. Placing a protective hand on the bump, the blonde smiles to herself before speaking. "What shall we do today kiddo? Mommy can no longer work as she is too fat and well..as much as I would love to lay in bed..even that would get boring so what do you-" hearing a sharp knock on her door, the blonde raises an eyebrow and manages to lift herself up off the bed then walks out of the bedroom and through her apartment before reaching the front door. Pulling it open, Emma raises an eyebrow curiously at the leather clad man stood before her. "Hi? Can I help you?"
"I believe you can love. The names Killian and I have come to bring you home"
Sniggering at the clearly crazy man, the blonde rolls her eyes then goes to close the door. Watching as a foot is wedged in the way, the blonde looks wary. "Look I don't know who you are or what your deal is but if you don't leave I'm gonna call the cops.."
Sighing, the pirate places a hand on the doorframe to prevent the woman from shutting it any further. "Emma.."
Eyes widening, Emma backs up feeling slightly scared. "How..how do you know my name?.."
"Because I know everything about you including your parents and how you got that baby there.."
Scoffing, the blonde crosses her arms in defence. "Well one I don't have any parents so you're wrong and two, I think a lot of people would know how to get a baby when a man and a woman-"
"Except that baby was not conceived that way...and you my love are certainly not a lover of men but of women and one in particular...Regina"
Looking rather cross, Emma shakes her head in disbelief over how rude the man is being. "Who the hell is Regina?"
"Well she was your girlfriend..and the other mother to that child there.." Gesturing to the blonde's bump, Killian then continues. "She had to give you both up to prevent something bad for happening..only when she did..it created something else and now everyone is back in good old Storybrooke safe and sound but without their memories..it's like the Queen's curse all over again except this time, her majesty also has no memory"
Playing along with the theory, Emma raises an eyebrow again. "If that is true how comes you have memory?"
"Because I left the Enchanted Forest before anything could happen.."
"Oh whatever. Leave now before I call the hospital to have you committed, let alone the cops.."
"I can't do that love. They need you. Regina needs you" procuring a vile from his pocket, the pirate holds up the purple coloured liquid. "You need to drink this and all will be clear"
"For the last time, I do not know a Regina! Plus if you think I'm stupid enough to drink a god damn potion of some kind when I'm 8 months pregnant you have another thing coming mister" staring angrily, Emma grips the front door again to close it.
"There's the Emma Swan we know and love. feisty as ever.." Watching as the blonde grabs hold of the phone, Killian quickly holds his hand up in defence. "The baby blanket!"
Holding the phone to her chest, the blonde frowns. "What?"
"Your baby blanket..the only thing your parents left you..its..its...cream with..purple embroidery on it..around the edges and your name is also in the corner"
Emma backs up even more startled. "How did you..I have never shown anyone that before!"
"You did. In Storybrooke to your family and to Regina, you even asked your mother to make a new one for your baby" Hook explains seriously.
Beginning to get upset over a mix of hormones and the memory of being abandoned, the blonde shoves him back and slams the door shut.
"Swan!" Sighing again, the pirate leans against the frame. "Listen you must believe me in some sense that it's true otherwise you would have called the cops on me as soon as I came. Can you tell me that you honestly remember how you came to be here and who is the other parent to your baby?"
Sniffling, Emma wipes her face then opens the door again. "Maybe everything isn't as clear as it seems but if you think I am taking that potion.."
Hook lifts the vile again and looks at it. "Here. Look, what if I drunk some first? I honestly wouldn't endanger a pregnant woman and least of all you because there was a time that I wanted to be with you and would wish so much that the baby you are carrying could have been mine but now all I want to do is help you. I've seen how happy you can be..you were in your element about starting a family and not having to do it alone like you are now" having turned his attention back to the blonde, the pirate waits for an answer.
Nodding slowly, Emma watches as the man swigs back some potion then smiles. "See? If it does nothing then at least we tried what's the worst that could happen?"
Frowning uncertain, the blonde reaches for the bottle hesitantly taking a deep breath before drinking it while holding her bump. "..oh my god.." Eyes widening, Emma looks around confused then rubs her forehead as she meets Hook's gaze. "I..what..lets go"
Smirking at the fact she's back, the pirate gestures towards the woman's current attire then waits while the blonde changes into some clothes and follows him out.

Pulling up outside the diner, Emma parks up the bug then peers through the window at the establishment. "This feels..strange..but good at the same time. They really won't remember me?"
"Sorry love.."
"What about Regina..has she been okay at least?"
"I'm not sure..before I left the forest she was having a heart to heart with your mother..literally. Your mother was trying to stop Regina from burying her own heart as her majesty said she couldn't deal with the pain and loss.." Hook replies honestly.
"Now she doesn't know who I am..and you are sure you have no other way to get more potion" the blonde questions looking desperate.
"No love. It was given to me by your parents..before the second curse"
Trying to take it all in, Emma sighs then climbs out of the bug. Making sure the pirate is following, the blonde turns towards the door looking nervous as she steps inside and scans the diner which is rather busy. Biting her lip, the blonde holds her bump within both hands as she spots the brunette Mayor exit from the back and take her place upon her usual stool before she had a family and moved to a booth.
Feeling a set of eyes on her, Regina glances towards the door to witness the blonde stood beside the pirate. Rising from her seat once again, the brunette strolls over with purpose causing Emma to gulp while appearing heartbroken at her lost love.
"Killian may I have a word please?" Raising an eyebrow at the blonde stranger, Regina steps off to the side.
Muttering under his breath so only Emma hears, Hook goes to meet the demanding woman. "Why does she only call me by my name in a cursed state..."
Crossing her arms defensively while staring Emma up and down, Regina questions the pirate. "Who is she? I know the people of my town and she does not belong here.."
"Well actually..you see.." Trying to come up with an excuse, Hook responds. "She's a friend of the family..and she had been driving for sometime and she needed a rest because as you can see she is ready to pop Madam Mayor"
Scolding him, the brunette holds her tongue and simply nods. "Very well..."
Watching from a distance, Emma rings her hands together nervously while feeling herself panic. Trying to calm down, the blonde rubs her tummy with a frown at feeling a twinge. "Erm...Killian?"
"Yes love?" Looking over his shoulder, Hook looks wide eyed at how the blonde doubles over. "Emma?!"
Feeling the pirate take hold of her arm, Emma looks at him completely petrified then glances down towards the puddle on the floor. "Oh god..no..not now.."
