Chapter 37

Emma's heartbeat accelerated and her breath caught in her throat for a moment, even though every nerve in her body told her to stop kissing Killian it somehow felt so right. Yet a huge part of her knew that this was so wrong, he wasn't hers, he was Regina's and she knew that the two of them belonged together. She knew that she had far too much baggage to be with Killian, but for those moments, that felt far too short, Emma let herself forget about her past, and let herself focus on kissing the man that she had secretly loved from the first moment she had laid eyes on him.

However all too soon Killian ended the kiss and began coughing, and when Emma took her first breath she also began coughing, the room was very smoky now and glancing out the door she discovered the fire was right outside.

"Maybe I could find a fire extinguisher," Killian said pulling his shirt over his mouth and nose to help him breathe, Emma did the same thing and began helping him look.

"I don't think that we're going to find one in here," Emma said before beginning to cough once again.

"Just keep looking," Killian urged.

Emma nodded her head as she continued looking around the room.

When Nicole and Jay walked inside they were both slightly surprised when Emma wasn't in the kitchen sipping a cup of tea, like she did every morning before she went off to work.

"Is she possibly still sleeping?" Jay asked confused.

Nicole shrugged, "I'll go check," she said handing him a sleeping Sarah, before walking to the basement door knocking on it.

"Emma?" She asked when there wasn't an answer, "Emma?" She asked again opening the door a crack, "Emma, are you here?" She asked walking into the apartment, something she would normally never do, but her gut told her something was wrong.

When Nicole saw that Emma's bed hadn't even been slept in her heart sank a little bit, she knew that she was probably being silly, after all Emma probably just went to work early. However as she walked back up the stairs the words out of Jay's mouth made her heart stop, "Emma's wanted by the police for kidnapping a child!"

"What?!" Nicole asked shocked running up the stairs and into the living room where Jay was watching the T.V, and sure enough there was a picture of Emma on the screen and next to it was a picture of a little boy.

"Emma would never kidnap a child…" Nicole said, "She couldn't."

The screen then changed to a brunette woman, with tears in her eyes, "Emma, please just bring me back my son," the woman, whose name was Regina begged, "I know that you're his birth Mother but I've raised him for the past ten years. He's mine, and you have no right to take him from me!"

"I didn't know Emma had a child," Jay said.

"Neither did I," Nicole said.

Nicole kept watching the T.V, the knot in her stomach getting worse, something told her that Neal was behind this, but she knew that was impossible.

"What do we do?" Jay asked.

Nicole shrugged, "what can we do?" she asked, "We don't even know where she is…"

Jay put his arm around Nicole the two of them continuing to stare at the T.V.

Emma and Killian sat down on the floor, both of them struggling to breathe, Emma closed her eyes, but Killian took her hand squeezing it, "stay awake, he urged.

"But I'm so tired…" she whispered.

Killian coughed before speaking again, "I know," he whispered, "but you have to."

Emma looked at Killian tears falling from her eyes, "I hope that Henry's OK…"

"I'm sure that Victor, Terry, and Chris are taking good care of him."

"I just hope he gets back to Regina…" Emma said.

"Why… why did you give him up for adoption?"

Emma coughed before looking away from Killian, "I was scared…" she admitted, "I wasn't ready to be a Mother."

"Did it have something to do with Neal?"

More tears welled up in Emma's eyes, she looked at Killian, "I don't really want to talk about this right now…" she said before beginning to cough harder, they were running very low on air now.

"Sorry…" Killian apologized before beginning to cough as well.

The smoke in the room got thicker by the second, after a few minutes neither one of them could keep their eyes open. However just before they lost consciousness the door flew open.

"Ms?!" A male's voice said, "I'm going to get you out of here!" He said and then Emma felt someone picking her up.

Mary Margaret, Regina, Ruby, David and James all sat in Granny's diner feeling defeated.

"I'm starting to think that I'll never find Henry…" Regina whispered.

Mary Margaret put her hand on top of Regina's, "don't lose hope," she urged.

"But we don't even know where Emma took him!" Regina said tears falling from her eyes, "or if she's hurt him."

"You think she would hurt him?" David asked.

Regina shrugged, "she was being hunted by the cops for being a murderer," she pointed out.

"I thought you didn't believe that." Ruby said.

Regina sighed running her hands through her hair, "I don't know what to believe anymore!"

"The police will find Emma," Mary Margaret said confidently.

Regina let out an annoyed grunt before standing up, "I can't deal with all of your hope right now!" She screamed before storming out.

"Oh poor Regina," Mary Margaret said sadly, David reached across the table taking her hand, Ruby sighed walking back up to the counter to get a refill of her coffee, James decided to leave the restaurant. The two of them were still pretty heartbroken that Mary Margaret and David were definitely falling in love.

Emma was surprised when she felt cool air on her face and could all of a sudden breathe normally, for a brief moment she was certain that she was dead. However when she opened her eyes she discovered that she was laying on the ground with an oxygen mask on her.

"It's OK," the paramedic leaning over her said, "you're OK."

Emma focused on her breathing, looking around, there were lots of cops and paramedics huddled together, and then there were firefighters spraying water on the building that was almost burned to the ground.

Emma's eyes bulged out of her head as she realized how close she had come to death, "you're alright," the paramedic said calmly.

"Ki…Killian…" Emma whispered.

"He's fine," the paramedic said, "just rest."

Emma did her best to relax, but as she looked around she discovered that a lot of the cops were staring at her making her feel uneasy. Her gut told her something was very wrong, especially when she realized that she couldn't see Henry.

After what felt like hours the paramedic took the oxygen mask off of her and allowed her to sit up.

"How are you feeling?" He asked.

"I'm fine." Emma said.

"Do you think you can stand?"

Emma nodded her head, and after the paramedic stood up he helped her up, keeping his hand on her back until he was sure that she wouldn't fall.

"You good?" He asked after a few moments.

Emma nodded her head, and then he took his hand away.

"Emma!" Killian said walking over to her embracing her in a hug, "are you OK?"

"I'm fine," she said, "Have you seen Henry?"

Killian shook his head looking around, "he's probably with one of the other guys."

"But where are they?"

Killian squeezed her tighter, "don't worry, we'll find them."

Emma continued looking around, her heart beginning to beat quickly when two police officers walked over to the two of them, "are you Emma Swan?" One of them asked.

"Yes…" Emma said confused.

The other officer took her arm.

"What are you doing?!" Killian demanded.

"I'm afraid we're going to have to take you to the station for questioning."

"What?" Emma asked confused, "What have I done?"

"You're wanted in the kidnapping of Henry Mills."

"I didn't kidnap him!" Emma yelled, "Neal did!"

The officer gripped her arm tighter, "you're also still wanted in the death of Taylor Cassidy, now you can either come with or without handcuffs."

"Emma's innocent!" Killian yelled.

"I didn't do anything!" Emma insisted, but she let the cops take her to their car, not wanting to have handcuffs put on her.

Killian watched as Emma got closer to the car, feeling helpless looking around he hoped to see Terry, Victor, or Chris but they were nowhere to be seen, "bloody hell…" he whispered, he wasn't going to let Emma go to jail. Taking a deep breath he walked over to the cops that were holding onto Emma's arms, and pulled her away from them, before quickly hitting their heads together knocking them unconscious.

"Killian?!" Emma said shocked, "What the hell are you doing?!"

"Just come on!" Killian said taking Emma's hand, surprisingly none of the other cops had seen what he had just did, but he knew that wouldn't last long.

Emma and Killian ran into an alley hiding behind a building, both of them slightly more out of breath because of all the smoke that they had inhaled.

"Are you insane?!" Emma demanded after a moment.

"Would you have preferred me to let you go to jail?"

Emma sighed shrugging, "prison might be the only place where I'm finally safe from Neal."

"What?" Killian asked slightly shocked.

Emma looked away from Killian, more tears welling up in her eyes.

"Please talk to me!" Killian begged taking her hand, "Let me help you."

"You can't help me…" Emma whispered, "no one can…"

Killian put his hand on Emma's face gently turning her head to face him, "You can talk to me."

Emma stared into Killian's eyes, which were full of a mixture of concern and compassion, which took her off guard, she had never really had someone care about her this much before.

Emma took a deep breath before she began speaking, "Remember inside the building when you asked me why I gave Henry up for adoption?"

Killian nodded his head.

"I wanted to keep Henry so badly," Emma whispered tears falling from her eyes, "I loved him from the first moment I discovered that I was pregnant… but I knew that Neal wasn't going to stop looking for me, and I couldn't raise a child on the run."

"Is Neal Henry's Father?"

"I think so," Emma said.

"You think so?" Killian asked.

Emma scoffed, "I really don't want to get into this with you," she said peaking around the corner, no cops were walking down the alley, at least not yet, "do you understand that you just assaulted two cops so now you'll be arrested as well?"

"Once we find Henry he can tell the cops that you didn't kidnap him, Neal did."

"That still doesn't change the fact that you assaulted two cops!" Emma hissed, "Why did you do that anyways?!"

"I made a mistake in believing you were guilty ten years ago, and I've never forgiven myself for that."

Emma looked at Killian a little shocked, before turning away, "I'm not worth saving…" she whispered, "not anymore."

Killian leaned in once again kissing Emma's lips, "yes you are."

Emma couldn't help herself as she leaned in kissing Killian, she knew that she was being stupid right now, but she couldn't help the way she felt.

"Ah here you guys are!"

Killian and Emma both abruptly ended their kiss, neither one of them had heard the footsteps coming down the alley.

"Chris!" Killian said relieved.

"Thank God you guys are alright!" Terry said.

"And you found Emma!" Victor said.

Emma looked at the three of them figuring that these were the guys that Killian had been talking about, her heart sank when she realized that Henry wasn't with them, "where's Henry?"

Victor, Chris and Terry all looked down embarrassed.

"Tell us!" Killian yelled.

"We were standing outside, when Neal and Tamara came running out, and before we could react she hit the button on the remote… and when we came to Henry was gone and the building was on fire." Chris said.

"No!" Emma cried covering her mouth as she began to hyperventilate as she began worrying what Neal could possibly do to Henry.

"Emma!" Killian said putting her hands on her face, "breathe," he urged.

"He'…ll… ki…ll… hi…m!" Emma managed to get out between breaths.

"No he won't," Killian said pulling her into a hug, "we'll find him, I promise," he said rubbing her back in an attempt to calm her down.

Mary Margaret took a deep breath as she walked up to Regina's door, she felt terrible for how upset she had made her earlier, so she had decided to come and apologize.

"Regina?" She asked after there was no answer, deciding to open the front door, which was unlocked, "Regina?" She called again.

Walking in she walked up to Henry's bedroom, where Regina usually was, she had been spending a fair amount of time up there since he had gone missing. However today she wasn't in there.

Walking down the hallway Regina glanced inside Cora's bedroom, which was also empty.

When Mary Margaret walked down the stairs she glanced in the kitchen noticing a book on the table, walking over to it she glanced at the title, "once upon a time" she said as she opened the book gasping when she saw herself on the first page.

"What the hell?" She asked flipping to another page, where she found David, as she continued flipping she saw herself kissing David, she saw herself with Regina and Cora. She saw her Father in a coma she saw Gold, as a dark one giving her a potion. Finally she saw herself giving birth, to a baby named Emma and then Cora casting a spell on everyone.

"What the hell are you doing here?!"

Mary Margaret gasped jumping and turning around coming face to face with Cora, she glanced at the book and then at her, "you are just such a noisy little bitch aren't you?"

"What?" Mary Margaret asked confused, "What is this book?"

Cora slammed the book shut, "nothing you need to worry about."

"Do you know something the rest of us don't?!" Mary Margaret demanded.

Cora laughed, "of course not!"

"It seems like you do!" Mary Margaret screamed grabbing the book, "I'm going to go show this to everyone!" She screamed running past Cora.

Cora watched Mary Margaret running to the door, she laughed "sleep," she said waving her hands and making her fall to the ground fast asleep by the front door.

"Oh, Mary Margaret," Cora said walking over to her bending down and picking up the book, "you're such a stupid woman, you should really learn to mind your own business." She said once again waving her hands and making Mary Margaret disappear.
