Hello everyone!

I just wanted to apologize for the long wait but finally I managed to write the next chapter.

As always I don't own Once Upon a Time and its characters.

I'm sorry for all grammar and spelling mistakes.

Please enjoy the chapter and leave a review!

Neal was sitting in a car with dark windows right in front of the white mansion. He had been sitting there for the last two hours staring at the window of his son's bedroom. He had seen some glimpses of him when the boy opened the window to let some fresh air in. The love for his son was burning inside his heart like a fire. He wanted Henry all to himself or better said he wanted the boy to live with Emma and him.

It had been astonishingly easy to trick that brunette slut of a deputy. She had fallen asleep next to his bed without noticing that he had gotten rid of his handcuffs already some hours ago with one of her own hairpins. As soon as her kin rested on her chest he slid out of bed, got dressed really quickly and had moved out of the room. He had passed nurses and doctors without anybody stopping him which had surprised him to be honest. His first move was to steal his father's car when he suddenly noticed that he didn't know what he wanted to do next. That's why he was sitting in the car in front of the house. Suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, started the engine and drove over to Emma's apartment. He didn't hold off for long before he got out of the car and walked up to the door of the small apartment. Luckily he knew that Snow and Charming were out on one of their mushy dates and Emma had left the mansion an hour ago probably to shower and change into different clothes and therefore was the only one at the apartment.

He decided to creep into the apartment with the help of Ruby's hairpin. The Charming's seemed to believe that just because they were royals no one would break into their apartment. It took Neal less than five minutes until the door opened with a quiet click. He looked around in the room and suddenly became aware of the shower running upstairs. Just as he had imagined. He wanted to surprise and overpower her when she least expected it. He also moved upstairs and hid in Emma's bedroom.

Only a couple of minutes later the water flow in the shower was turned off and Emma stepped out of the shower. She felt completely relaxed and happy after the things Regina had said. They had determined the date for their date to be already this evening. Both of them knew that this was pretty unconventional but they had decided that they had wasted enough time already with their constant fighting. Regina had assured Emma a million times that she was feeling well enough for an unforgettable date night. They finally wanted their happily ever after to begin.

Emma dried her hair and took more time than usual to put on her make-up and blow-dry her hair. She smiled contently at her reflection in the mirror. She looked quite presentable. Humming happily she walked into her bedroom. She went over to her dresser and stared at her collection of clothes. She was unsure what she should wear that Regina would approve of and what would make her totally irresistible. In the end she decided for a black dress. Normally she wasn't very fond of dresses but for this special occasion it seemed to be the perfect thing to wear.

She quickly got dressed and checked her appearance in the full length mirror on the wall. Suddenly a figure appeared right behind her, the baseball bat her father had given to her raised high above his head. Emma gasped but before she could react the baseball bat hit her head and then everything went black.

Over at the mansion Regina was nervous. Emma was late which, in fact was nothing special but the brunette was already waiting for over one hour for the blonde. It took her a lot not to freak out over the possibility that Emma had gotten cold feet. Regina felt rejected and crossed her arms in front of her chest. She really thought that the moment they had shared earlier was special and they were both on the same page but apparently they were not.

Regina fought back tears in her burning eyes. She had to stay calm. Henry was upstairs reading some of his comic books. Regina glanced at her mobile phone for at least the hundredth time in the last five minutes but just like before there were no missed calls or text messages.

Regina sighed. She didn't know what she was supposed to do. On the one hand Regina didn't want to make herself vulnerable by showing Emma how much she meant to her but on the other hand Regina was worried about Emma because although Emma used to be always on the run when her relationships got to close she just like Regina herself had changed. Maybe the blonde was in real trouble.

Regina decided that it would do no harm to call Ruby and ask the younger brunette if she had heard about Emma's whereabouts. It took Ruby quite some time to pick up and when she greeted Regina her voice sounded tired and sleepy.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Ruby. I'm sorry if I woke you up but have you heard anything from Emma? She was supposed to pick me up one hour ago but she didn't come…Ruby? Hey, Ruby, are you there? Ruby?!" Regina asked confused.

"Oh my god." Ruby whispered, her voice sounded weak.

"What? Ruby, you are scaring me! What's wrong?" Regina mumbled.

"Oh god, Regina! Neal escaped! I don't know where he is! Oh my god, are you okay? Please don't open the door for anyone, I'm coming over!" Ruby almost screamed into the phone.

"No, Ruby, no! You have to look for-" Regina had wanted to add "Emma" but Ruby had already hung up on her.

'Please dear god, let Emma be okay.' It had been a long time since Regina last prayed to a supreme being but now she felt could need any support she could get.

That was chapter 11, I hope you liked it. Please leave a review!
