The next morning Emma woke up to an empty bed, and she didn't hear Gold anywhere in the room. She got up to check Rae, and when she didn't see her baby in the crib she got a little nervous. Emma rushes down the stairs and finds Rae sitting in her baby swing, and Gold putting breakfast on the table. Emma lets out a relieved sigh of seeing her daughter safe and sound.

Gold turned around and smiled at Emma and went over and kissed her lightly. Gold could feel that she was tense, and he knew why. He knew that this was a tough trial with Emma after being the way she was for so long.

"Morning sweetheart. Sorry for the scare sweetheart, I just wanted you to get some rest." Gold said

"You shouldn't have to apologize." Emma said

"I know but this is going to take a while to fix Emma you know that." Gold replied

"Yeah I know. So after I see Archie today I was going to visit my parents." Emma said

"That's great. I think you should take Rae with you. It has been a while since they got to hold or play with her." Gold said handing her a plate of food

"Yeah that would be good." Emma said

"Emma?" Gold asked as Emma was playing with Rae

"Yeah?" Emma replied

"Friday night how would you feel about just me and you going out on a date?" Gold asked

"I would really like that. How long has it been?" Emma asked

"Since what sweetheart?" Gold asked sitting at the table

"Since we... since we had sex." Emma asked bluntly

Gold almost choked on his coffee not really expecting that question "Umm its been about six months Emma because 2 months before Rae was born we didn't really have sex, and then with the distance between us. So I'd say about six months." Gold answered honestly

"Wow six months." Emma said

"Why do you ask?" Gold asked

"Well I just got the idea that it was a long time, and when I walked into the kitchen I kind of just wanted you to take me right here and now." Emma said taking a bite of her food

"Okay well maybe this Friday than." Gold said seductively

"Yes that sounds great. Okay well I have to get dressed and go see Archie. I'll be back before you have to get to the shop, and I will take Rae to my parents" Emma said

"Sounds good to me luv. Alright well I will clean up down here and then I will give Rae her bath, and have her ready by the time you get here." Gold explained

Emma just smiled and got up and went over to Gold, she kissed him passionately and did not want to stop. She ran her hands through his hair, and that made him kiss her harder, and he had his hands firm on her waist. It took Rae starting to cry for attention to bring them out of their passionate embrace, and they were both flush when they separated. Emma laughed at their daughter, and then went up the stairs to get ready for the day.

Emma was out the door and off to see Archie, and she was really nervous about seeing her parents today. She was on her way to Archie when she saw Hook walking out of Granny's and talking on his cell phone. Emma waved at him, and he smiled and waved back. Hook walked up to her with his hands in his coat pockets smiling shyly at her.

"Morning Emma." Hook said

"Morning. You look very chipper this morning." Emma pointed out

"Yeah I suppose I am, it has been a good morning so far. Everything is going well here now, and working out very well." Hook said

"Well I am glad that everything is going well for you. You know you and your wife should really come to dinner with me and my boyfriend. I know you mentioned that you don't really know that many people here." Emma suggested

"Sure we'd love to. How about Saturday?" Hook asked

"Sure that will work. You know I never expected Captain Hook to act so civil." Emma admitted

"Yeah well I portrayed a bit nastier than I really am. There is just one man I would never be civil to, and he will pay for what he did soon enough." Hook said

"You know if you kill someone I will have to arrest you." Emma laughed

"Oh I'm not going to kill him. My presence will do the trick as will my wifes, he believed her to be dead." Hook said

"Well I hope that everything works out then." Emma laughed

"Oh it will sooner than anyone may think." Hook admitted

"Alright. Well I got to go, so I will see you Saturday. Here is our address and we will see you there at seven?" Emma asked

"Yeah that sounds good to me. We will be there on Saturday." Hook said

Emma said goodbye to Hook and then went to her appointment with Archie. Emma went and sat through her appointment, and she told him all about the morning she had. Archie told her that it was good that her sexual feelings for her boyfriend were coming out because that meant other things were on her mind. He also told her that it was a good idea that she was taking that big step and leaving Rae for an entire night on Friday. Emma sat there and listened to everything Archie was telling her, and she knew that she would be better soon enough.

After her appointment she went back to her house to get Rae. When she got there Gold was just finishing putting some clothes on the baby, and talking to her. Emma smiled at the sight before her, and just watched as Rae smiled up at her daddy. Emma and Rae left the house 20 minutes later, and headed off to her parents place. She had not really seen or talked to her parents in months, and she had a lot of making up to do. She knocked on the door, and saw the surprised look on her fathers face when it opened. He just stared at her, and then let her inside.

"Hi." Emma said shyly

"Emma? What are you doing here?" David asked

"Umm.. Well I thought I would drop by, and apologize." Emma said

"For what?" David asked again

"For how I have acted. I've kept your granddaughter from you. That is not okay, and I almost left Gold the other day. He forced me to get some help, and at first I didn't want to, then I went to see Archie." Emma said taking a seat on the couch across from her parents with Rae in her arms

"Emma is everything okay?" her mother asked

"I am going to be. I found out that I had post partem depression, and when Rae got sick it got worse. I had a talk with Gold last night, and then we sat with Rae for a long time just staring at her. He told me that I haven't really let you near her. So I thought that I would bring her by with me today." Emma said

"Oh Emma. I am glad that you are getting the help you need sweetheart." Mary said

"Yeah well I am working on it but in the mean time I am trying to distance myself a bit. Getting back to doing things at a normal pace. After this I am going to take Rae to her brother. Or brothers I guess." Emma said about Henry and Neal

"That's good. Can we hold her?" David asked

"Of course." Emma said smiling handing her daughter to her father

"Actually could you guys babysit her for us on Friday?" Emma asked

"Of course we can. If you're sure." Mary said happily

"I'm sure about it. Archie says it's a good thing that these feelings are coming back, and that I feel the need to go out. So Gold wants to take me out for the night, and see how it goes. I will try to keep the phone calls to a minimum." Emma joked

"I'm very proud of you Emma. We would love to watch her for you." David said hugging his daughter

Emma stayed at her parents for a couple of hours just talking, and playing with Rae. Once they left they headed over to see Henry, and Neal for a little while. Emma told Henry that it would be his choice when he wanted to come back home with her, since she wanted him to make sure that he wanted to be home. Emma had a lot to prove to him, and she knew that. So she finally made it home, and she was extremely tired by that time. Her and Gold sat on their bed with Rae, and Emma fell asleep with her in her arms. Gold just smiled, and then laid down in bed with her. He fell asleep quickly, and in peace with both his girls by his side.
