Emma scanned the apartment with her eyes. It had been the first time in months that she'd set foot in the apartment. Being there with her family filled her with warmth and relief. As she scanned the room, she noticed a small head of black hair peeking up over the back of the sofa.

Liam.

"It's okay, love," Killian told Emma quietly. David ushered Mary-Margaret, Regina and Robin out of the room to give Killian and Emma some privacy with their son.

Using the arm that was around Emma, Killian guided her to where her son lay, fast asleep, on the sofa. Emma sat on the coffee table in front of Liam while Killian stood close to her side. She refused to let go of his hand.

Liam was still a little pale but most of his colour had come back since he'd been allowed to rest. Poor kid. The first time Emma had seen her son was through the Dark One who only felt pure hatred for this boy, but Emma felt nothing but love for the boy who looked so much like his father.

"You said he was okay," Emma mumbled, desperate to reach out for Liam's hand but she didn't dare to tempt the Darkness.

"He is. He's just resting," Killian assured Emma.

"I hate the Darkness," Emma whispered, "I'm sorry Liam."

"You can touch him, love. He's not going to break," Killian told Emma. He could feel the tension in her body and he knew she wanted the embrace their boy.

"I don't want to tempt it," Emma replied. She took one final look at Liam before standing and turning to Killian, "can I see Jessie?"

"Aye," Killian nodded and led Emma upstairs to her bedroom where Jessie was still sound asleep.

...

Mother Superior jumped at the sight of the Dark One standing at the door. Henry jumped up from the floor where he had been sitting next to Jessie's bed.

"Leave the girl, Dark One," Mother Superior warned.

"It's okay, she's in control," Killian assured Mother Superior, "give us a moment, please."

Mother Superior moved towards the door and Killian and Emma stepped aside to let her leave the room.

"Thank you for looking after her," Emma told Mother Superior.

"Think nothing of it," Mother Superior replied, her voice warming slightly.

"Mom," Henry breathed. He hadn't expected to see her so soon. Emma thought the same, she was sure that Regina would have been keeping Henry under lock and key whilst the Dark One was around.

"Hey, kid," Emma smiled.

...

Henry eyed his Mom suspiciously as it at any minute she would turn Dark again. Killian squeezed Emma's hand in encouragement and Emma returned it, assuring him that she was okay and under control.

"Is Liam okay?" Henry asked.

"Aye, lad. Just exhausted," Killian nodded.

"Is the Darkness gone?" Henry questioned. Surely they wouldn't have let Mom in the house unless it was gone.

"No, Henry. But it's under control for now," Emma replied, she wished more than anything that it was gone.

"It's a start," Henry sighed. His legs propelled him forward and he threw his arms around his Mom, forcing her to let go of Killian's hand.

"Steady, kid," Emma laughed, returning the hug. She savoured the moment because she wasn't sure when or if she'd get another one like this.

Killian left Emma and Henry to have a moment together and went to sit by Jessie. All he wanted was for her to wake up and be okay but he was beginning to lose hope on her ever waking up. He'd hoped that Emma would be able to wake her the same way she'd woken Henry, but with her heart full of Darkness, he wasn't convinced it would work. But it was surely worth a try.

Emma released Henry and kissed his forehead gently.

"I cant believe you and Killian have kids," Henry smirked.

"I know right," Emma laughed.

...

Killian and Emma were alone with Jessie who lay as still as ever, the only movement came from the rise and fall of her chest. Emma had a kind of tortured look plastered on her face. Liam was sleeping, but he'd wake up as good as new but waking Jessie up would be much harder.

"Are you okay, Swan?" Killian asked. Emma did not move from by the bedroom door.

"I did this to her," Emma whispered.

"It was the Dark One," Killian argued.

"But I didn't stop it," Emma replied.

"Emma, you cant blame yourself for this. I wasn't with her. Regina couldn't even stop it," Killian said, "this is not your fault."

"How are we supposed to wake her?" Emma asked.

"True Love's kiss," Killian answered swiftly.

"But our kiss didn't work so this one wont either," Emma said, trying to make sense of everything.

"It worked with Henry. You're haven't let the Darkness in yet so you still have a chance. Emma, we have to try," Killian begged, in a small voice, "we have to."

"It's worth a shot," Emma nodded.

So this chapter is a little shorter, I really wanted to have a chapter dedicated to the Swan/Jones family.

Thanks again!
