Chapter Fourteen
Dr. Facilier
"Who?" Regina asked.
"Dr. Facilier," Henry said. "He's a magician. Haven't you guys seen The Princess and The Frog?"
"The what now?" Killian asked.
"Nothing, but he's another character from one of the books that I found in the library in New York."
"He's the one who turned the Princess into a frog right?" Regina asked.
Henry nodded. "In the Disney movie, yes."
"Stop talking nonsense," Dr. Facilier demanded.
"What do you want with my wife?" Killian shouted.
"Oh, so you're the pirate Emma Swan married," Dr. Facilier said.
"Jones," Killian muttered.
"And, no need to worry, I'm not going to hurt your wife, well, not too much anyways. It's your unborn child that's going to be hurt." Dr. Facilier laughed.
Killian was about to lunge at him but Henry grabbed his arm. "Don't."
Killian nodded and stood straight. "Why do you want my baby?"
Dr. Facilier smiled. "I am so glad you asked! Because now I get to keep that a secret. You get to wonder why for days, weeks, maybe even months, but you will never know why I want your baby."
"Killian!"
Killian turned towards the metal door. He had heard Emma's voice. Muffled and quiet, but Emma. "Don't worry, Emma. I'm going to get you out of there!"
"No, you won't," Dr. Facilier said.
Regina threw a fireball at Dr. Facilier. "Think again!"
Dr. Facilier looked back just in time to see the fireball crash into him. He flew through the air and hit the wall behind him.
Regina marched over to him and waved her hand. A black cuff appeared around his wrist. "There. That should hold him."
Killian ran over to the metal door and started yanking the handle, trying to open it.
"Killian, hold on. You don't want to break the handle," Regina said. Regina waved her hand and the door disappeared.
Before Killian had time to react, Emma jumped on him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in his shoulder. Killian wrapped his arms around her. "I'm so glad you're okay."
Emma just held onto Killian tighter.
"Sorry to break up this reunion, but we should probably get out of here before he wakes up," Regina said.
Emma sighed and pulled back. She smiled at Killian. "Thank you."
Killian smiled. "I will always find you."
"I know," Emma said, smiling.
"Let's go," Regina said.
Emma looked at Regina. "Shouldn't we lock him up?"
Regina nodded. "Yes, and I will."
"Do you need help?" Emma asked.
Regina shook her head. "Your magic is unpredictable."
"How?" Emma asked.
"You're pregnant," Regina said. "That makes your magic unpredictable."
Emma nodded. "That explains why they didn't put a magic cuff thing on me."
Regina nodded. "Yeah. Now, go see Harper."
Emma smiled. "Thanks." Emma took Killian's hand and the two walked out.
"Mom," Henry began.
"Go, Henry," Regina said.
Henry shook his head. "I'm not going anywhere."
Regina smiled a little. She turned back and faced Dr. Facilier. "He'll be awake soon. Give it 5 minutes."
Henry nodded. "Well, then we have 5 minutes to talk about whatever we want."
Regina nodded. "That we do."
"Emma!" David wrapped Emma in a hug. "Thank goodness!"
Emma laughed a little. "Yeah."
He pulled away. "You probably want to see Harper?"
Emma nodded. "Yeah."
David smiled. "She's up in Neal's room, playing with his toys."
Emma smiled and gave her dad a quick hug before running up the stairs. Killian followed.
Emma reached the top of the stairs and walked down the hall to Neal's room. She could her Harper's quiet voice. She walked to the doorway and smiled as she watched her daughter play.
"She's adorable," Killian said. He stood next to Emma, arm wrapped around her waist.
Emma nodded. "Yeah."
Harper looked up. "Mommy! Daddy!" She ran over to her parents and Emma lifted her up and wrapped her in a tight hug.
"Hey, baby girl," Emma whispered.
Harper smiled. "Hi, Mommy." She pulled back. "Is baby okay?"
Emma nodded. "Yeah, baby is okay. Daddy was there to protect baby and me."
Harper clapped. "Daddy's a hero!"
Emma laughed. "He sure is." She looked over at Killian. "Does my mom even know what happened?"
Killian shrugged. "I don't know. I didn't tell her and I'm not she if your father did or not."
"Well, I guess we'll find out when she gets back," Emma said. Emma kissed Harper's head and rubbed her back. She held her close. Killian put his arm around Emma.
They stood like for a few more minutes, then they heard, "Emma!"
Emma and Killian turned around. Emma smiled she shifted Harper one side and held out her other arm.
Neal ran into her and wrapped his arms around her middle. Emma wrapped her arm around him. "Emma!"
"Hey, kid," Emma said.
"Hi, Em," Neal said.
"Emma, honey, I was worried sick!" Snow yelled as she ran around the corner.
Emma set Harper down and her and Neal ran in his room and played. Emma stood back up just in time to see Snow ram into her, wrapping her in a tight hug.
"David told me! He wouldn't let me come home! Are you okay?" Snow rambled.
"I'm okay, Mom. I promise," Emma said.
Snow smiled and sighed in relief she pulled away and looked at Killian. She walked over to him. "You."
"Uh…"
Snow wrapped him in a hug. "Thank you! You saved Emma twice in the past couple days!"
Killian nodded. "She would've done the same thing for me."
Snow nodded and pulled away. "Of course she would!"
Emma walked over to them. "Yeah, I would." She smiled at Killian and he smiled back.
Snow sighed. "We need to figure out how to stop this guy - whoever he is."
Killian nodded. "Aye. Agreed." He put his arm around Emma and a hand on her stomach. "He is not getting this baby."
Emma nodded and put her hand over Killian's. She looked up at him and smiled.
He smiled.
"Mom! Dad! Grandma! Come down here!" Henry's voice called up the stairs.
Emma smiled. "Looks like the kid needs us."
Killian nodded. "Aye, let's go."
The two walked to the stairs, hand in hand, Snow trailing behind them. They walked down the stairs and saw David, Regina, and Henry sitting on the couches.
The three walked over to join them, Snow sitting next to David; Emma and Killian sitting next to Henry and Regina.
"Did you lock him up?" Emma asked.
Regina sighed. "I… we… thought we had him… but…"
"What happened, Regina?" Snow asked.
Regina sucked in a breath. "He disappeared. He's gone."
