Emma followed her parents into Granny's Diner hand in hand with Killian after her parents. Once she entered, the entire diner went quiet. Emma looked around at everyone, expecting their mouths to be hanging open disapprovingly, but instead she saw all smiling faces. Red handed her parents and Killian glasses of wine and Emma a wine glass with grape juice. David walked to the center of the room and then turned to look at his daughter as he raised his glass.

"Emma, I remember the day you were born as if I had been in a coma since it happened and have only known you for 4 years." Everyone laughed. "All jokes aside, when your mother was pregnant with you, we used to talk about the future. We would talk about what you would look like, whose eyes you would have, whose hair you would have, but we also talked about the kind of woman you would grow into. You would be kind, smart, funny, and would always fight for what you felt was right." David took a step towards Emma. "We may have missed raising you, but you still became the woman we always thought you'd become and we couldn't be more proud." David turned around to face everyone else. "This party marks a new chapter for our family. It is a chapter of new love and new life. It symbolizes a chapter of hope…" David quickly wiped a tear away. "To Killian and Emma." David stepped off to the side and looked to Snow.

Snow moved forward and looked at Emma. "Emma, I know that you see yourself as someone who doesn't get a day off, who can't enjoy happiness because you feel like there will always be trouble around every corner. I know how you feel because I used to feel the same way. And yes, since I can remember, there have always been villains and danger everywhere I turned, but until I realized that I needed to have hope, I was always running and in fear. This is your happy ending. This is what I've wanted for you since the moment you were born. Enjoy this. Savor it. Because this is what will get you through the times when it seems that all hope is lost." Snow looked down and Emma could tell she was trying to hold in her tears. She took a deep breath in and looked at Emma. "To Killian and Emma." Snow faked a smile through her tears.

The rest of the party was uneventful, everyone seemed to be having a good time mingling and chatting. Emma sat at the counter, a cup of hot cocoa in front of her when a gust of air came from the entrance as the door opened. Emma turned to see who had come in and her eyes fell upon a very wet Eric and Ariel. Ariel looked very concerned as her eyes found Emma and ran over to her.

"Emma, you're ok?" Ariel said confused.

"Um, yeah?" Emma said, looking at Ariel for more information.

"It's Ursula, she-" Ariel started.

"I thought Ursula was a myth?" Snow said looking from Emma to Ariel.

"That's what I thought, too." Ariel said, "But she most certainly isn't and she's after Emma's babies."

Regina stood up and walked over to where Emma, Snow, and Ariel were standing.

"Why?" Regina said, "Is she planning on some kind of curse?"

"See, mom, this is why I always worry." Emma said looking down at her belly and then to Snow.

"We'll keep you safe." Snow said.

"How? For how long?" Emma said frustrated, "I can't just hide and run forever, eventually evil is just going to win-"

"Good always wins," Emma heard Henry said from across the room as he made his way to her. "Just have hope, mom."

"I'm tired of having hope," Emma said, "I'm tired of fighting, of losing the people I love." Emma's eyes were beginning to glaze from her trying to hold her tears in. "Things were finally good and now I face what you faced twice," She boldly looked at her mother, "I'm going to lose my babies, but against my will this time." Emma got up and stormed off to go to the bathroom. Emma was standing in front of the mirror bracing herself up with her hands and looking down at the ring on her left hand. This was how it was always going to be for her, for her family. They were always destined to have danger threatening their lives and their happiness. The bathroom door slowly opened and in stepped her father.

"This is the women's bathroom," Emma said, wiping the tears from her eyes and she turned and leaned on the sink, crossing her arms.

"A sign isn't going to stop me from talking to my terrified daughter." David said, tilting his head at an attempt to get Emma's eye contact.

"There's no point, I'm going to lose my children anyway." Emma said.

"We don't know that." David said rubbing her arm, "You still have what, like 6 months left in your pregnancy, maybe a little less with twins?" David turned her to face him. "That gives us plenty of time to figure out what she wants with them and how to defeat her." David smiled as Emma finally made eye contact, her eyes wide with terror as the tears flowed down her cheeks. David wiped her wet cheeks with his thumbs. "You'll see, you will not me losing your babies. We'll keep you and them safe." Emma wrapped her arms around her father. This was the first time since she had known they were really her parents that he had truly felt like her father. The age difference had always thrown her off, as well as everyone else, but right now, in this moment, he was her daddy, the man that could calm your fears with his fearlessness.

Emma and David walked out of the bathroom as Ariel was talking to Snow and Regina. Ariel looked up and ran to Emma.

"We need to get you to safety," Ariel said, "Somewhere Ursula would never think to look."

"Where?" Emma said, looking from Ariel to Snow and Regina.

"You'll be moving in with me." Regina said, obviously not super happy about it.

"You?" Emma said giving Snow a wary look.

"Exactly." Regina said, "No one would expect you to be living with me and I can protect you there."

"Is Killian coming with me?" Emma said more pleading than asking.

"Ugh, I suppose," Regina said, "but if you two plan on doing anything there, I'd prefer not to hear it." Regina looked over to Henry. "And I'm sure Henry would prefer not to hear it either."

Emma chuckled, "Yes, your majesty." She said jokingly. Regina was not amused.

The party was officially over as far as Emma was concerned. Why would we be celebrating when there was someone out there trying to harm Emma and her twins? Emma went to begin gathering the gifts that she somehow wasn't aware she would be getting. Before she was able to pick any up, they vanished before her eyes.

"What the-" Emma said staring at the table the gifts had been sitting.

"They're back at my place." Regina said. Emma spun around to see her smirking coyly, and then clasped her hands together. "You shouldn't be lifting anything anyway."

Emma rolled her eyes. She had a feeling this whole tell-the-pregnant-lady-what-to-do thing was going to get really old, really fast.

"I've taken the liberty of getting all of your stuff over to my house as well," Regina said turning to walk out, "Your room is upstairs at the end of the hall." Regina walked out with her empty glass dish that had carried her famous lasagna.

Emma tried as hard as she could to hug everyone, taking a little longer to hug her parents, before she ushered Henry out and walked out with Killian hand in hand.

They all got into the bug and Emma started the car. She sat in silence as she drove to Regina's house parking just a few feet away from Regina's car.

"Are you ready?" Killian said, grabbing Emma's hand.

"As I'll ever be, I guess." Emma said getting out of the bug and they all went inside.
