The numbness washed over Rose in waves. She had stopped crying which was an improvement. Pan hadn't moved an inch since he'd promise to get their daughter back and get his revenge on those who took her. Rose's eyes had never left the empty bassinet. It had been at least an hour since they had discovered she was missing. She had lost another child. It was her fault. Rose kept going over what she could have done until she didn't want to think anymore. Rose looked over at Peter. She knew what was going through his mind. He was trying to narrow down the list of people who would want to cause them pain. It was a rather large list. Who hadn't they crossed? Rose grew more and more frustrated the longer she was forced to wait. She got up and started getting dressed.

"You won't be able to find her on your own. You're too emotional." Peter stated, not even looking her way. There wasn't even a hint of desperation in his voice. He wasn't saying it because he was concerned about her wellbeing, but rather, he was stating what he believed to be a fact.

"It beats sitting around here and doing nothing!" Rose exclaimed. She felt the tears sting her eyes and she took a deep breath trying to steady herself.

"I know where to start." Pan said. Rose stopped and waited for him to continue. "We start with Blackbeard. He might have killed you but the debt hasn't been settled. You're life wasn't valuable enough to him because you didn't actually die. What's more valuable than Peter Pan's wife? One of his children and Blackbeard isn't stupid enough to try and cross Rumple."

"But what would he want with a wee babe? She's barely a month old!" Rose demanded. She could see the irritation and frustration written across Peter's face as clear as day.

"A baby grows into a child. A child he can use for labor on his ship. That's the lifetime debt he's looking for." Pan explained.

"So why go through the trouble of killing me?" Rose asked.

"He likes killing people and irritating me. He accomplished both by killing you," Pan stated. Rose look at him in mild disbelief. He continued on, "I suppose you're going to want to get the others involved?"

"No." Rose replied without hesitation.

"No?" Pan retorted, half mocking and half in genuine surprise.

"They'll slow us down with their self-righteous hero crap. We don't have time for that. We do this your way. Prove to me that Peter Pan never fails." Rose demanded. Pan smirked.

"I never thought I'd live to see the day where my Rose turned to the side of the villains and was out for blood. Revenge is a hell of a drug, isn't it?" Pan asked. He was smiling now but there was darkness in his eyes. Getting their daughter back had now become a game and may the Gods have mercy on whoever decided to get in Pan's way.

They had almost made it to the docks before Rumple and Belle had caught them.

"Where are you two going? And where's the newest addition to our so-called family?" Rumple asked. Rose tried her hardest to hold back her emotions. She let her husband do the talking.

"We left her with the Charmings. We needed some time to ourselves for a moment. You know how newborns can be." Pan lied. Rumple didn't look like he was buying it. Of course, that could have just been his natural distrust of his father.

"Where is Goldilocks?" Rumple demanded.

Rose broke down and started to cry. She buried her head in her husband's shoulder. There were few moments in their marriage where they showed this much emotion and intent to each other. Most of those moments being just recently. She could hear how fast Pan's heart was beating. She didn't have to look up at him to know that he was fighting his emotions.

"She's gone," Pan replied, his voice betraying him, "We woke up this morning and someone had taken her."

"Oh my god," Belle stated, "That's awful. I can't imagine how you guys are feeling."

"Serves you right." Rumple stated. Rose looked at her son in disbelief. He continued, "Villains don't get happy endings."

"Villains don't get happy endings?" Pan countered, "Why can't I? Every other villain here seems to have gotten one. The pirate found true love. Zelena has her child. Maleficent was reunited with her daughter. Ursula went home to her father. Even you, you insufferable brat, found someone to love you. So, I'll ask again, why don't I get a happy ending?"

Sorry it's so short but here's chapter two!
