Chapter Twenty-one

I Miss You

David and Henry walked downstairs but Killian remained upstairs. He sat down on the bed next to Emma. Snow was about to go downstairs, but she saw that Killian wasn't following. So she walked over to him and sat next to him. "You doing okay?"

Killian shrugged. "I don't know. Emma is under a Time Curse that, as of right now, has no cure other than a way that hurts mine and her daughter. And Gold is after my daughter to try and cast the same spell that will help wake my wife."

Snow sighed. That was the first time she had heard everything bad going on in just a few sentences. She put a hand on Killian's shoulder. "Things will get better, Killian. You just need to have hope."

Killian nodded. "I know. It's just hard to when your world is being destroyed by your old foe." He looked at Snow. "Thank you, your majesty."

Snow laughed. "None of that. It's Snow."

Killain chuckled a little bit. "Okay… Snow… thank you."

Snow smiled. "You are very welcome." Harper began crying and Killian tried to get her to calm down. "Well, I should probably leave you so you can get Harper to take a nap."

"Thank you," Killian said. Once Snow was downstairs, Killian began rocking Harper back and forth, trying to get her to sleep. After about ten minutes, Harper was fast asleep in Killian's arms. He gently placed her down in the setup crib. He watched her sleep peacefully for a while until he turned around. He walked over to Emma and kissed her forehead. "I love you, Emma. Wake up soon."

Killian looked at her for a moment, hoping she would wake up, but she didn't. Killian sighed and walked downstairs.

Belle looked through the last book she had in the Dark One section, which wasn't very big. She couldn't figure out how to trap Gold. The way the dwarves did it was a lot simpler than it needs to be now. Gold now has all the power of every Dark One, so it was going to be hard to trap him.

Belle read the last page and slammed the book closed. She moved it aside and set her head on the table.

"Careful, Belle. Books are very precious," a familiar voice said.

Belle looked up. She thought she was going to see Gold, but the person standing in front of her was not her husband. "King George."

The former king nodded and walked closer to the table. "Yes."

"What do you want?" Belle demanded.

The king walked over to Belle, but she backed away. "I just wanted to do this." King George pulled out handcuffs and lunged at Belle. Belle dodged, allowing George to run into a bookshelf. He groaned in pain.

Belle made a run for the door, but someone grabbed her arm from behind.

"I got you," The king said. "No running away now."

Belle struggled to get free while King George handcuffed her. He sat her down on a chair and duct taped her legs together. He put duct tape over her mouth. "Now you can't interfere with my plans anymore." He laughed as he left Belle sitting alone in the library.

"I need to talk to Belle," Killian said, once he got down the stairs.

They all looked at him.

"Why?" Henry asked.

"I need to find a way to wake up Emma as soon as possible," Killian explained.

"Killian," Snow said. "You need to let Belle focus on trying to trap Gold."

"How are we going to be able to trap Gold without Emma's help?" Killian demanded, getting frustrated.

"He does have a point," Henry said, taking his step father's side.

David sighed. "You're right. We can watch Harper-"

"No," Killian said. "Harper is coming with me. I don't want her getting kidnapped again."

"But, Hook-" David began.

"No, I'm taking Harper with me." Killian walked back upstairs and carefully picked up Harper from her crib. He set her down gently in her carrier and buckled her in. Killian grabbed Harper's blanket and bottle and put it in the carrier next to Harper. He walked over to Emma and kissed her forehead. "I'll be back." Killian walked back downstairs and saw David with his sword. "What are you doing?"

"I'm coming with you. If you need help protecting Harper, I'll be there so you can get her to safety," David explained.

"Thank you," Killian said sincerely. "Let's go.'

David opened the door to the library. "Belle!"

Killian walked in behind him. "Where is she?"

The two walked closer to the frontdesk.

Killian stopped moving. "Did you hear that?"

David listened for a minute. "I don't hear anything."

"I do." Killian rushed over to the table that had books scattered on it. He looked around and saw one of the bookshelves were knocked over. He heard a muffled scream. Killian ran behind the knocked over bookshelf. "Belle." Belle was tied to a chair. He ran over and set Harper down and started letting Belle free. He took the duct tape off her mouth and started working on the duct tape around her feet.

Belle took a deep breath. "Thank you. Thank you."

"What happened?" Killian finished with the duct tape. "David! Over here!"

David came running over and saw Belle. "Belle! Are you okay?"

"Give me the key to the handcuffs," Killian said, reaching his hand out to David.

David handed him the key. "Here you go."

Killian struggled at first, but soon he was able to unlock the handcuffs on Belle's hands. Has soon as her hands were free, Belle hugged Killian. "Thank you Killian!"

Killian, who was shocked by getting hugged, took a second to answer. "Y- you're welcome." Killian helped Belle to her feet and then he picked up Harper's car seat. "What happened?"

Belle told them the story.

"Belle, I'm so sorry," David said, pulling Belle into a hug.

"I'm fine now, thanks to you two." Belle smiled, pulling away. "What did you come here for?"

"We need to find a way to wake Emma up without having to go back in time," Killian explained.

"Did you try kissing her?" Belle asked.

Killian nodded. "Yes. I have."

Belle looked down. "I don't know." She looked back up. "I can do some research. I haven't found any on how to trap Rumple."

"Are you sure? We can help you," David suggested.

Belle shook her head. "I'm the only one who really knows where everything is, I'll be fine on my own, but thank you."

"No," Killian said. "Thank you."

Belle smiled and nodded. Killian and David left, with Harper in her carseat that Killian was carrying.

At the loft, Snow was reading through some books Regina brought her, while Henry was upstairs. Waiting for his mother to wake up.

"Mom," Henry said, taking a hold of Emma's hand. "Wake up." Henry received no answer. Henry sighed. "I love you, mom. Please. Wake up." There was still no answer. Henry sighed and stood up. He walked downstairs to sit with his grandmother.

"How are you doing Henry?" Snow asked, putting a book down.

Henry shrugged. "I just want her to wake up."

"Me too, Henry. Me too."

Emma didn't want to have these dreams. She hated it. She wanted to tell Henry she would wake up soon. She wanted to tell Killian that she loves him to. She wanted to tell her family not to worry. She wanted to hold Harper in her arms again.

Emma had been having nothing but nightmares. She dreamt of the time her and Killian were in the Enchanted Forest in the past, but they weren't able to get her parents to be together. Emma had slowly faded away as Killian screamed her name.

Emma shook that thought out of her head. She needed to wake up now, but she didn't know how.

The door opened and Killian and David walked inside. Snow and Henry rushed over to them.

"Are you guys okay? You've been gone for over an hour," Snow explained.

Killian nodded. "We're okay. I have to go put Harper down for her nap." Killian turned and walked up the stairs.

"Is he okay?" Snow asked David.

David shrugged. "He's been acting strange ever since we left the library. He must just miss Emma a lot."

Snow nodded. "I hope that's the case. It's been a few hours and Emma still hasn't woken up."

David hugged her. "Emma will wake up soon."

Killian set Harper down in the setup crib and she fell asleep right away. Killian smiled at his daughter and kissed her forehead. He stood up straighter and walked over to Emma. He sat down beside her and kissed her forehead. "I miss you, Emma."

Emma fought with all of her might to wake up.

It should work, she thought. Killian just kissed me. I should be able to wake up.

She fought and fought and soon, she saw a bright light shining through a window.

Killian rubbed Emma's cheek with his thumb, hoping she would wake up.

Killian closed his eyes, and a tear ran down his cheek. He went down to kiss her lips. As soon as his lips touched hers, he felt a force pushing him back. He opened his eyes and pulled away. He smiled wide when he saw Emma's eyes open.
