I've been wanting to try writing in 3rd person for a while now but never really got round to it or had the time to sit and think about it but now I do so I'm going to try, if it goes horribly wrong then I'll go back to 1st person or if people comment and let me know what they prefer then I'll stick to that style mostly.
As Regina made her way back to the loft the whole town was eerily quiet, she was used to Storybrooke being a quiet town but something was different round here, they had seen how many people there were in the underworld but no one ever seemed to be around, especially when the visitors were walking about. In typical snow fashion she was on Regina with questions as soon as she entered the hallway of the loft she was bombarded with questions.
"What's going on? Hows my daughter? Did they say what's wrong? Where are they why aren't they with you?" Snow questioned.
"They are all fine at the moment, stress and physical exhaustion has caused a tear in Emma's uterine wall and therefore, she had cramping but she has been given some medication to help ease the pain and help mend the tear but as long as she takes it easy she will be fine," Regina explained to everyone.
"So as long as we look after her and make sure that she doesn't stress too much then they are both going to be okay?" David asked holding on to Snow trying to keep her and himself calm.
"Yes that is exactly what I'm saying, but what I want to know is has anyone figured out how we are getting home?" Regina asked looking at Gold expectantly.
"For us yes it's just a simple matter of getting a boat which I can do at any point, but for Hook it's another matter, we need his heart and some ingredients to make a spell, I have the instructions but some of the stuff is back in the real world so I guess it's going to take a little while to get them all," Gold explained to everyone from the corner.
"Well that's great news with Killian being found and everyone safe Emma can go back with me and help look after Neal whilst getting proper medical care, and a few others can go back to make sure Storybrooke is still okay then the rest stay here with Killian and defeat Hades," Snow stated wanting nothing more to get her daughter and grandchild home and safe.
"I don't think that's going to work Snow, Emma isn't going to leave Killian and Killian won't want to be without Emma and his child especially when it isn't set in stone that the child is going to survive," Regina stated to the rest of them knowing Emma and her motives better than anyone else there.
"But wouldn't she be safer up there with proper medical care and she wouldn't have to stress about Hades because Hades would be here not there," Snow retaliated everyone obviously trying to get their own way.
Slowly, things began to escalate at the loft and the debating, of where Emma would be best, escalated into a full blown argument. Meanwhile at the hospital Emma had just woken up after having a chat with Killian about what they were going to do and how they were going to face everything, then emotionally tired and drained she fell asleep with Killian running his fingers through his hair.
"How are you feeling now?" Killian asked Emma after she had fully woken up and was laying down with a hand gently resting on her stomach staring absentmindedly at the ceiling.
"Better, the cramping has stopped, but I erm I kinda want to see my family, well Henry mostly let them know I'm doing better and get over the fussing," she replied turning to face him slightly before continuing,"but I'm not sure if I'm up to the walk home, are you okay to carry me?"
"Of course I can, come on let's get you back to your family and tell them what our next steps are," Killian picked her up whilst speaking and slowly started the walk out of the hospital towards the loft. Both were alert and on the lookout for Hades and any other potential dangers that could present themselves on the way to the loft.
"Emma do you want a big family? I mean obviously we will have to see how it all goes with this one but I want to know whether you want a big family or not?" Killian asked when we were about two hundred metres from home.
"Erm I'm not sure, to be honest growing up I never wanted children, I didn't think I could be a good mother after the way I grew up but maybe I could I mean Henry is okay but then again a lot of that is down to Regina so I guess the answer is we will see because I'm not sure yet," Emma replied nervously playing with the hem of the t-shirt she was wearing.
"Okay yeah that makes sense, let's talk about it when we get to that point for now this baby and Henry is enough," He replied opening the door into the building, "do you want to walk in? People might fuss less than, and I know you hate the fussing,"
"Yeah that sounds good," KIllian set Emma down on her feet supporting her waist so they could walk in together, however what they walked into wasn't what they expected to find. Emma and Killian stood there shocked at the arguing that was taking place before their eyes.
"Emma is going home with me and that's final," they both heard snow say before finally they alerted their presence to the room by clearing their throat watching all six heads turn to face them in surprise.
"Emma please tell your mother that you won't be going home with anyone who's going back and that I'm right and you won't leave Killian," Regina looked pointedly at emma as she spoke then back to Mary Margaret giving her you'll see I'm right look.
"No you'll see that I'm right and Emma think of what's best for the baby, she'll go back home and help as much as she can from their," Snow replied, with both of them obviously not going to back down and the tired look on everyone else's faces Emma saw that it would have to be her that intervened and no one else could help. Preparing herself to for the fight she was undoubtedly going to have to enter to solve Emma took a deep breath.
"Emma erm we've found a way to get Killian back but the only way is for some of us to go back home and some to stay here, your mother thought that it would be best if you went home, Regina is saying that you won't leave and the rest of us say its up to you and whatever you want so?" David explained going and hugging Emma before picking her up for the second time that day and laying her on the couch.
"I know that I will be staying here because there is no way in hell I'm leaving Killian, the baby and I are fine, and as long as I don't do anything too strenuous then it will stay that way so everyone can stop worrying, and I'm not in the mood to argue about this I'm tired and want to sleep," Emma told them all before curling up on the couch facing away from everyone signalling that her decision was final and that no one could change her mind.
"Right then with that decision made we should probably make is when are we going to be heading back, the sooner the better right?" Snow asked Gold itching to get back to her son and embarrassed that her old step mother knew what Emma needed better than she did.
"Yes the sooner that we get the potion made and get Hook's heart to it the better and easier it is for me, I will arrange a boat for two hours time and see you all at the docks to go over the plan one more time," with that Gold walked out the apartment to put a few extra little things in place whilst he was gone.
"You should start getting ready to leave guys, thank you so much for doing all this, I'm going to take Emma to be as it will likely be more comfortable for her than this couch, thank you once again," KIllian bent down and carried Emma up the stairs gently laying her in bed so he didn't wake her and Snow and Robin got ready to leave.
I don't know what you guys prefer with chapter lengths but if you want longer/shorter chapters or if you just like them the way they are let me know. So the two questions on this chapter what's your preferred chapter length and preferred 1st or 3rd person. Thanks for reading and sorry for the longer wait I had my school holidays and went away with a friend so didn't have much time to write.
