Chapter 2: According To The Devil There's Hell To Pay
No One's Pov
"You hot head! You're crazy if you think Killian is yours! He belongs with me and my son!" Emma shouted in his face but he was unfazed, in fact he looked amused.
"Hot head? You can do better than that Emma. And as much as I'd love to hear all the zingers you could come up with I'm afraid I'm hear for business and not pleasure" He pushed Emma aside like she was nothing and once again moved towards Killian who pushed Henry behind him as Hades got closer. But before he could reach him there was a twinge and an arrow met his shoulder. He stared down at it like was a bug then looked up to see Snow White stringing another arrow while Prince Charming drew his sword, they both stared at him coldy.
"Get away from them and stay away"
"Oh please" He pulled the arrow out and ignited it, causing it to burn in his hand until the ashes slipped through his fingers.
"As I said I'm here on business. Captain Hook here has cheated death, he came back without his life being traded for another and that is a big no no. Plus he chose to have Emma Swan kill him, that is a fair death and I'm here to see it through. But don't worry, Henry will be safe and sound"
"No! If take my dad then you'll have to take me too!" Henry shouted at Hades and to make a point he grabbed his hook and stares him down.
"Henry!" Emma, Snow Charming gasped in surprise and Regina said it with a slightly scolding tone.
"But Henry what if I told you that you could have your real father back?"
"That's not possible, my mom told me that Neal isn't even in the Underworld" He turned to Emma for confirmation and she nodded and stepped forward.
"It's true, he told me himself that he wasn't because he didn't have any unfinished business"
"True but since you didn't play fair I decided that I would level the playing field by doing the same. So I gave Baelfire some unfinished business, the family he was deprived from"
"I admit that a part of me will always love Neal but he knew what I was doing when I entered the Undeworld and he knew that he couldn't stop me. I told him our son was happy and that's all he needed and as much as it would be good for Henry to truly get to know his father Killian has done a wonderful job" Emma confessed.
"She's right. I love Neal but I love Hook just as much" The trio smiled at each other then turned to stare collectively at Hades with a glared but he only laughed.
"As sweet as that was Henry wasn't the only person I was talking about, remember he does have a father" Everyone stiffed at that, they knew what was going on now. This time it was Hook who spoke up.
"The crocodile came to you didn't he? He offered me up in exchange for Baelfire to come back" Hades responded with a slow clap.
"Bravo, very good Captain. I guess that means you can come out now" Everyone looked to the pond to see Rumplestilskin emerge from behind a tree, and he had the dignity to look a little ashamed. That look became stronger when he look over at Belle and saw her tear stained face. With one look at her former husband she moved closer to Killian.
"So Gold you made a deal with the Devil to kill Killian in exchange for your son. So who are you going to sacrifice to bring back Peter Pan? Me? Emma? Henry?"
"You don't get to judge me Regina, you would have done the same thing for Henry" Gold sneered at her but she pushed it off.
"No I would have done what Emma did, I'm no evil anymore unlike you"
"Blah blah blah, can we move this along? Okay here's the deal everyone: I will bring back Neal Cassidy for exactly 24 hours and in that time you will decided whether or not to take me up on the deal Rumplestilskin offered. If you accept I will restore Henry Mill's heart and take Killian Jones back with me, leaving Mr. Cassidy behind and keeping the balance. But if you refuse everything will stay as it is and Neal will go back to where he once was. Be warned though, this is a one time offer. I will be back tomorrow but until then I leave you with what I promised"
Hades turned around and the boat reappeared carrying Neal. They switched places before the boat took off yet again and the mist vanished. Once he made sure the threat was gone he ran over to embrace Emma and Henry, Killian moved over to David and Mary Margaret to give them a small amount of privacy. When they saw the defeated look on his face they both placed a hand on his shoulder in comfort. Killian's insecurities were showing and he was fearful that he would send him back to the Underworld, even after all they went through to get him back.
"Hook" a voice spoke out to him. He looked up just in time to be hugged by Neal. He hesitated for a moment before wrapped his arms around him.
"Bae" He whispered more to himself then Neal. They pulled apart but kept a hand on each other's shoulders.
"Thank you for looking after Emma and Henry" Killian smiled at him.
"It was no trouble Bae, I love them"
"We love you too Killian" They said in unision. That caused the close knit family to laugh together until they saw Gold approach.
"Bae" He moved to hug his son but he held up a hand and stepped back.
"How could you do this Papa? How could you have Hook killed to get your power back? And how could you offer him up on a silver platter to Hades to bring me back? I've been gone a few years now and while I may not be alive but I was happy where I was, especially because I knew that Killian was taking care of Emma and Henry"
"But Bae they are your family, not his. You deserve to be with them instead of him" He gestured to Hook with a disgusted look which him, Emma and Henry returned.
"That's not your choice to make and Hook is not replacing me. I know that they think of me and I know that they still love me. Plus they both love him and I know he loves them more than anything, hell that's why he told Emma to kill him! They deserve each other and I am not taking away the family that they built. You made this deal for nothing!"
Neal put his arm around Henry who was still grasping Killian's hook who's hand was being held by Emma who was joined by her parents and together along with the rest of the town they began to trickle out, planning to return to Granny's to finish their party.
They left Rumplestilskin behind.
"I will get you back Bae, no matter what it takes"
