New chapter


Neverland, present day.

-"This is very…dark." David said as he got out of the boat, following the others.

-"Well it's Neverland." Hook said.

-"How are we going to find Henry in this place?" Emma asked looking around. "It's just trees and wait…more trees."

Regina sighed putting a hand on her forehead.

-"Are you ok?" David asked sliding a hand on her back.

-"Yes…It's just…She's right! This forest is gigantic. I don't know how we will find him."

-"Well Hook and I have been here before." Neal said. "I know Pan…I know where he hides himself."

-"What are we waiting for?" Emma said as she started walking.

Neal grabbed her arm.

-"It's not a good idea to just go there and ask for Henry…"

-"What are we supposed to do?"

He sighed.

-"There is a fairy who lives on the island. Find her. She might be our only chance to defeat Pan. I, in the meantime, we'll try to locate their camp. Once I have I will come and find you. Give me two days."

Emma nodded.

-"Hum…" Regina started. "I'm not going to just go around looking for a damn moth while Henry is in danger."

-"Neal is right!" Emma started. "He knows the place. He'll go reconnoiter the area while we look for that fairy.

-"Luckily I know her too."

They turned to face Hook.

-"I can guide you to where she lives."

-"Fine! But if in two days we haven't heard from you…I'll go find him myself!" Regina said.

And on that note, she started walking towards the forest. David and Hook followed her only after the pirate sighed in exasperation.

Emma turned to face Neal.

-"Don't worry. We'll get him."

-"Yeah…Just…Be careful!"

Neal smiled before he left by the other side of the forest.

Emma felt a hand on her shoulder. She closed her eyes for a second before she turned to look at her mother. The brunette had hopeful eyes and it annoyed Emma. How could she be like that? All calm and everything while she was responsible for Henry being missing. She swallowed back the anger. She is your mother and I think she loves you more than anything. David's words rang in her head. She sighed.

-"We should go before we lose them." She said simply and they both walked through the forest catching the others.

They had been walking for hours. Long hours and Regina felt like her body was slowly sinking into the ground. She was tired, sweaty and…she was in pain. Her back, her neck…She didn't want to stop. Just the thought that her stopping might have Henry spending one more minute with this Pan made her sick to her stomach.

-"Are you ok?" She heard David asked.

She nodded weakly.

-"I…" David turned towards the rest of the group. "We need to take shelter for the night."

-"Wh…Why?" Emma started but she immediately stopped when her eyes laid on Regina.

-"I'm fine." The brunette insisted still walking but her head started to spin and she had to put her hand on a tree not to fall.

-"We're stopping!" David said more authoritatively.

-"Yes he's right, love." Hook started. "You look like hell."

If eyes could kill, Killian would be dead by now. He raised his hands in defeat.

-"There!" Emma said pointing at a small clear space. "We can camp here."

David put Regina's arm around his neck and he helped her move. Once they settled he sat next to her.

-"Here! Drink that!" He said giving her a bottle of water."

The brunette sighed but she took it and drank the liquid. She put a hand on her stomach and rubbed it.

She was realizing that maybe she should have stayed in Storybrooke. Who was she kidding? She was pregnant. She was seven months pregnant. What made her think that she would be able to go on a trek? The only thing she was doing was slowing them down into finding Henry.

-"Regina!" She heard and she jumped a bit.

She turned to look at David's worried eyes. She tried a smiled but failed.

-"Did you hear me?"

She shook her head.

-"The…" He looked towards Hook. "The pirate, I guess, and I are going to see if we can find anything to eat."

-"I'll come with you!" Snow said taking her bow.

Regina threw her daggers.

-"I…I'm the best archer here." The princess said. "I'm coming with you."

-"Ok!" David said.

He leant towards Regina and pecked on her lips.

-"Just rest here. I'll be back in no time."

-"Fine!"

The three 'hunters' rushed in the forest and Regina leant a head on the tree trunk. She closed her eyes trying to ease her mind a bit but Emma's voice ruined the moment.

-"Do you think we'll get him back?" The sheriff said sitting next to her.

Regina turned her head to the side.

-"I want to believe that we will."

-"You sound like…" Emma stopped herself realizing what she was going to say.

-"Snow." Regina finished bitterly as she looked at a random point in the darkness. "I'm guessing it's side effect of screwing her husband."

-"Why do you always have to be so defensive?"

-"Comparing me to this little brat have that effect on me!"

Emma sighed annoyingly.

-"I…Sorry!" Regina finally said after a few minutes of heavy silent.

-"Never mind! I understand." She turned to look at Regina. "How is she?"

-"I don't know."

-"What do you mean?"

-"I…I don't feel her. It's like…" She felt tears pricking her eyes. "I just hope she is just sleeping or that it's an effect of the curse Rumple cast on her."

-"Reg…"

-"Don't!" Regina said coolly. "She'll be fine."

They were all sleeping. Everyone but David. He just laid there, an arm wrapped around Regina's figure, his nose buried in her neck. He hadn't say anything not to worry her but…this whole thing freaked the crap out of him.

He knew she was hiding things from him but he never realized how big those things were. He was Prince Charming. He freaking was Prince Charming. And Regina was the Evil Queen. Like normal!

He turned to lay on his back, careful not to wake up Regina and got up. He closed his jacket and went further into the woods. He needed a time to process the whole thing. To process the fact that he had an almost thirty year-old daughter and that he was dating his grand-son's adoptive mother. 'There's nothing weird with that!' He tried to convince himself. 'Nothing.'

-"Can't sleep!"

David jumped and turned to face Snow White.

-"You neither!"

-"I lost the habit of sleeping on the ground I guess." She said chuckling.

David raised an eyebrow.

-"When Regina was after me…I used to live in the forest."

-"Oh!"

She gave him a small smile.

-"It's weird to be the one everyone hates. It's more of a Regina thing!" She stopped to look at David. "I…I'm sorry. I didn't mean…"

-"It's ok! I know not a lot of people like her. I was at the diner when everybody snapped at her, remember?"

-"I…" Snow lowered her head.

-"It's ok! I understand things better now…I guess."

He ran his fingers in his hair. He was stopped in his track when he felt Snow's hand on his arm.

He looked into the brunette's eyes and what he saw made him uncomfortable.

-"Mary I…"

-"David, give us a chance. I can make you remember everything that happened. What we meant for each other."

-"I…" He grabbed her hand in his. "I love Regina."

The princess shook her head causing the prince to sigh.

-"She tried to kill me David. Me and countless other people."

-"I know…She told me."

-"And still you love her." She said angrily.

-"I'm sorry to hurt you…I've never meant to but I'm not going to apologize for loving her. We should…We should go back to the camp."

And with that he left the princess.

When they arrived back at the camp, they were all awake and David caught Regina's pained eyes.

He went towards her and sat next to her.

-"Hey!"

-"Hey!" She said softly.

He kissed his cheek.

-"Are you feeling better?"

She nodded.

-"We just talked." He whispered in her ear causing her to close her eyes.

-"I…I know."

She looked up at him and smiled.

-"I'm just a bit…"

-"Worried about Henry."

-"Yes."

-"Come on, let's go find the boy." He said standing up.

He helped her up and put a hand on her stomach.

-"So, if everyone's ready…Shall we?" Hook said.

-"Look who is there!" They heard and they all turned to face a young boy.

-"Pan!" Hook said.

-"Where is my son?" Emma said pointing her sword towards the man causing the lost boys to get out of their hidden place, arrow pointed towards them.

-"Careful love," Hook said to Emma.

-"I'm not afraid of a bunch of kids with pointy sticks." Regina said building a fire ball.

-"It's not the stick but the poison they were soaked in, you need to be scared of."

-"You'll never find him." Pan said with a smirk. "Henry is well, don't worry. He's just starting to feel at home…finally."

-"You little…" Regina started throwing a ball at Pan.

The lost boys arched their bows and started throwing their arrows at them while Pan disappeared not after throwing a defiant scowl at Emma.

Emma started attaching one of them while the others took care of one of them own. Using that much magic exhausted Regina but she didn't let it show. She was going to get her son's back at whatever cost.

After a few minutes all the lost boys vanished.

-"Are you ok?" Regina asked David.

-"Yes. You?"

She nodded.

-"Everyone is ok?" David asked looking around.

They all nodded but Emma.

-"Emma?" Snow asked.

-"We still don't have Henry!" She shouted.

-"But we'll get him."

-"How do you know that?"

-"I…" Snow tried backing away.

-"Let's just keep going." The sheriff finally said as she started walking.

Regina turned to David raising an eyebrow.

-"Go, I'm coming."

Once they were all out of sight, he rose his shirt and revealed a very bad cut on his flank. 'Damn!'


I hope you liked it :)
