AN: I do not own OUAT

A lot of you guys have been tuning into this AU lately which makes me very you guys for everybody who's followed or favourite this story. The only thing that would make me happier is if you reviewed every chapter, asked questions, and tell me what you think is going to happen. There's only a few more chapters until the curse breaks and then we get to see how Emma will react to seeing her baby boy all grown up.

I know you guys think that my story and the show are mostly the same but I promise you that I have been adding a lot of my own things in or changing somrting to be my own and I also changed the way the curse ends...a lot of you will be surprised how to curse breaks. What I do is get some stuff from the show and then piece those ideas with my ideas.

This chapter is going to to have a little bit of Swanbeliever. Also an intro to Madwolf/RedHatter.

And the story continues...

Chapter 15 Could This Be The End?

It was the last week of school. The kids were filled with joy and classes were now filled with nothing but fun and no work. Emma was sitting outside of the school with Henry, she wanted to spend some time a lone with him. Ever since her out break this morning with Killian all she could think about was how his feelings were true and he wanted to be a family with her and wanted to be happy. Henry already felt like a son to her.

"So, how's Mary-margaret?" Henry asked as he looked over to his mother.

"Other than being locked up and on trail for murder while she's pregnant, she's fine." Emma sighed, she felt really bad for her friend. She knew she didn't do it, but she had no legal proof.

Henry had a half smile, "I know it wasn't her."

"Hi, Henry." A sweet girl that looked around the same age as Henry came up to the two. Emma noticed her from the telescope that Jefferson made her look through. Grace? Paige? The girl he thought was his daughter.

"Who is that?" Emma asked curiously, she wanted to see something for herself. If she was right on this, it would be freaky...and maybe it would be the start of her belief.

Henry looked up at Emma, this was the first time she was curious about somebody that talked to him. "Her name is Paige, she's a year older than me."

"Henry, do you have your book with you? Can i see it?" She wasn't sure what she was doing. The curse possibly couldn't be real, what Jefferson told her couldn't be real. Once Henry gave her the book, she opened it up and flipped through the illustrations of princesses and princes, finally finding the page of the Mad Hatter's story. It was a man with brown hair that went past his ears and he had a young daughter...Grace. Her eyebrows narrowed, it couldn't be real...could it?

"What is it?" Asked Henry as he seen the look upon Emma's face. What was it? "Emma...are you alright?"

Emma shook herself out of her thoughts, "Hmm? Oh yeah, it's fine." She handed the book back over to him, but she just couldn't shake the feeling of something strange going on. The visions, Jefferson, Henry...the clock tower. "Hey kid, how about we go for some ice cream? Your father tells me you like rocky road."

"Yes! Come on lets go!" He grabbed a hold of Emma's hand and started dragging her down the street. He loved the ice cream shop here.

She couldn't shake it. Ever since Henry and Killian came into her life, something was off. Henry kept saying it was because of all this curse stuff, but there was no curse. It was impossible, this is the real world. She was overthinking it, she just shook her head and followed Henry, trying to forget everything that happened in the last twenty four hours.

"So, how's this going to work?" Mary-margaret asked. Emma had left to go pick up Henry at school and was suppose to be here for the arraignment but she wasn't. It was just her, David, Killian and Mr. Gold.

"You're going to go in, they're going to ask a couple of questions and you answer them. Just like what Emma already did really, but their questions may be a little...confusing to the head" Gold explained the best he could.

"Oh great...more stress" David muttered to himself as he sat waiting for the lawyers to show up to question his wife.

Killian seen the look upon his families face, he placed a comforting hand on David's shoulder, making him turn around. "It'll be fine, we all know she's innocent." David could only respond with a fake smile

Suddenly Regina walked in with an old man dressed in a fancy suit next to her. He must've been the lawyer. He look professional with his suit and his big briefcase. "Are we ready?" The old man asked. Killian recognized him by King George...the man who was responsible for the death of his brother.

Taking a deep breath, Mary-margaret calmed herself down as she was unlocked out of her cell and took into the private room her and Emma were in a couple of days ago when the murder case first started, except this time, Emma wasn't there. She sat in at the table in the chair with Mr. Gold next to her and the old man across from her.

If she was being honest with herself, the older man looked very imitating and scared her on the inside. She tried the best she could to cover how nervous she was by taking slow deep breaths, she only hoped it was working. Her baby kicked, letting her knowing everything will be alright. She smiled and placed a hand over her swell.

"Mrs. Nolan, I've done my research and I've come across the fact that a couple years ago, you and Mr. Nolan were having an affair while he was engaged to another women, Ms. Smith, the deceased" The man started having Mary-margaret nod with him in agreement. "And years later, she finds out you and Mr. Nolan are now pregnant, now how did she react over that?"

"Well, the first couple of months were alright but then she started acting strange, always around, always glaring, always trying to talk to David, started flirting with David sometimes even and then one day she showed up the the school and confronted me about stealing her life and then slapped me hard" Mary-margaret explained to the lawyer.

"She struck you in the face, was it?" The lawyer asked.

"Yes, but -"

He cut her off before she could explain herself, "That must of made you angry."

"You-You don't have to answer that" Gold interpreted. He wasn't going to let this lawyer make Mary-margaret say something that was just out of pure frustration.

"No, it's okay. I have nothing to hide," She begun in a calm sweet voice, "I was not angry, I was sorry for all the pain I had caused her over the years."

The lawyer scuffed, he didn't believe her. "Mrs. Nolan, this is not a courtroom. I'm not here to judge you, if we can all be honest, that would make this a whole lot easier."

Killian and David both looked at each other knowing this wasn't going to end well.

Regina watched as a smirk was placed on her lips, finally, it was the end of Snow White.

"Excuse me? I am being honest" Mary-margaret said, she really wasn't hiding anything.

"Shall we end this?" Gold asked, he wasn't going to stand for this.

"The ex fiance of the man you're now married to humiliated you in front of the entire school, students, teachers, everybody. Surely you must've felt some anger towards Kathryn" The lawyer explained, this was how he got to truth out of anybody he wanted to.

Killian crossed her arms and shook his head as he watched and listened to the arraignment. Deep down in the pit of his gut he knew this wasn't going to end well, but he couldn't say anything to worry David. Where was Emma?

"Yes, I was angry that she humiliated me, but-" She was cut off once again, what was the point of asking her questions if they were just going to but in.

"And did you ever think about acting on that anger?" The lawyer asked.

Mary-margaret narrowed her eyes, she was starting to panic, what was going on? "No, I would never!"

The man stared straight into her soul, he was very intimidating. "I have a hard time believing that, because you wanted Kathryn gone ever since you met David, first the affair...he went back to her before fully committing to you, and then once you get pregnant she seems to always be around and even struck you."

"I never said that! Kathryn was a good women!" She explained. This man was now putting words into her own mouth. She never wanted Kathryn gone.

Gold stood up, he had to put an end to this now. "Alright, my client is done answering questions for today."

"Your client agreed to this interview because she claimed she had nothing to hide!"

"I don't have anything to hide!" What was this man not getting? She was now getting furious and couldn't hold it in anymore. This man was intensely blaming her.

"Then what is your answer? You wanted Kathryn gone?"

Mary-margaret could feel the stress it was putting on the baby, she didn't want to stress out but it was getting hard not to. calm down baby, mommy will handle this she said to her baby. "No!"

"Even after she tried to get David back once you got pregnant? For pay back for splitting them up? After she slapped you in public?" He was now asking questions that he weren't sure were true, but if it got the truth out of her, what was wrong with it.

She sighed and rolled her eyes, she had enough. "Alright fine yes! Of course I wanted her gone! She was trying to get back into David's life! So yeah, I wanted her gone. Is that what you wanted to hear!" What did she just do. Immediately she regretted ever saying it, this wasn't good.

David looked down and sighed. He didn't believe that Mary-margaret would have went as far to murdering Kathryn, she wouldn't even say bad words about her...until now. His poor wife, he couldn't do anything to help.

Regina stared into the room through the looking glass with a big smirk on her face. Soon Snow White would be gone, locked up, never to be heard of again.

Emma sat in the parlor with Henry, both licking on their rocky road ice cream. They were having a blast, it was the first time in a while that it was just them without Killian. "So, excited schools over this Friday?"

Henry had ice cream all around his mouth, he just loved stuffing his face with the dairy goodness. "Yes! Hopefully when the curse breaks dad will get the Jolly Roger back and he'll take us sailing!" He really wanted to go on a real pirate ship ever since he found out his father was Captain Hook.

"Right, when the curse breaks." She nodded her head like she was agreeing with him, but really she didn't know what to say. Part of her was debating whether to think it was all real or not.

Cocking his head, Henry looked at her. "You still don't believe, do you?"

"It's not that I don't believe, it's just a lot to take in you know. I mean right now I believe I grew up as an orphan and had to steal and always run to survive and here you're telling me that I grew up as a princess, raised by Snow White and Prince Charming and then married Captain Hook and then birthed you right when a curse hit," She said.

"You're the savior, Emma...and my mother...I love you" Henry said, he was holding back tears in his eyes, all he wanted was for her to believe and to remember him.

Emma cupped her hand over the boys cheek and smiled, "Henry...I love you too, and even if I'm not you're real mother you're still like a son to me..."

Henry gave her a fake smile. It pained him for his own mother to say that. It wasn't her fault, obviously, but still. He just wished he could see his real mother and the real way she would take care of him. Watch him grow, everything he never got. "You're the savior that needs to save them all Emma, the whole town."

She sighed, this was a lot of pressure to think that the towns fate was being held in her hands.

Ingrid walked up to the mother and son with a proud smile on her face, she loved seeing a happy family. "Would you like any more ice cream, made right here." Princess Emma, the only one born in her family with powers...just like her. Soon they would be a family, just her, Emma and...well, that would be found out soon.

"Uh, no thanks, I think we've had enough already." She looked down at her watched and seen that she was late, very late! "Oh shoot, kid, we gotta go, I forgot all about Mary-margaret's arraignment." She picked up their things and hurried into the car. She dropped Henry off at Granny's before she went to the police station with nothing but her head spinning.

Walking into the station she seen everybody in a circle, of course she missed her friends arraignment. You could feel the tenseness in the air, something wasn't right. "Everything alright?"

"I'm afraid not sheriff...Mary-margaret let Lawyer George King get the better of her and she may of said some things out of anger" Gold explained.

Looking over to where the pregnant women was sitting on her cot with her knees tucked into her and her face hiding from everybody, Emma walked up to the cell. "Mary-margaret, we all know you didn't kill Kathryn, I promise you, I will find proof that you were framed, just have hope." Mary-margaret had just nodded without picking up her head, letting Emma turn around and face Killian.

"What is it love? Are you having doubts again...?" He asked narrowing his eyebrows. He hoped she wasn't, he hated to see her upset.

"We need to talk." She lead him out to the hallway alone, away from everybody else in the room. She needed to have a serious talk with him.

Killian gladly followed her, he didn't know what was going on. "Everything alright love?"

"Well, besides for my best friend on case for murder and your son putting a shit ton of pressure on me...I'm fine" She said all in one breath before he exhaled a breath she didn't know she was holding.

"What do you mean? Henry putting pressure on you?" He didn't understand, Henry's not a boy that would purposefully put pressure on somebody.

Emma turned around placing her hands behind her neck as she took a deep breath. "I think it's time we break it to him," She said as she spun around facing him, she seen his eyebrows narrow in confusion. "That there's no curse...it's gotten out of hand, he believes I'm the savior that can save the entire town...do you know how much pressure that puts on me?"

"Emma..." He took a breath, was he really going to do this? Guess he was. "You are his mother...you are the savior, love. Regina did cast a dark curse that brought you all to this bloody place once you birthed Henry."

"What? Are you serious? You too? You believe in all this?" She hadn't noticed but her voice was starting to rise. How could he believe this and then put more pressure on her.

"I don't believe, I know this is all real. I lived through it Emma...just look through Henry's book...go to Gold's shop, everything from the Enchanted Forest that belongs to us is there...maybe something will remind you."

"Do you have any idea how crazy you sound! Killian...you can't be serious right now!" She was looking at the man like he had two heads.

Killian rolled up his jacket sleeve to reveal the scar around his left hand. "Look, this was given to me when I came to this realm. My hand was cut off by the crocodile...Rumpelstiltskin, I'm suppose to have a hook there...but that's in Gold's shop," He began. "You have to believe Emma...the curse will never break without you believing."

"That's not going to happen, Killian." She was starting to get furious. First Jefferson was trying to make her believe when he kidnapped her, and then Henry was telling her about the curse...again, but this time saying she was responsible for everybody in Storybrooke and now Killian went crazy and is now trying to make her believe.

"You don't want to believe, do you? After everything you've been told...everything that's happened in this town with the clock moving, the mines collapsing, the visions, why can't you just do it!" He exclaimed, he was now getting frustrated towards this, he wanted his real family back.

"Because I can't do this! The town, I don't want this!" She exclaimed. She was sure that everybody in the other room could hear her, but she didn't care anymore.

Killian could feel his anger pushing through, it was over ruling everything he's worked on at redeeming himself through the years. "Well guess what, love...that's to bad, we all need you...your parents need you, princess!"

"That is crap! I am not responsible for everyone's happiness! I didn't ask for that! I don't want it!" She exclaimed, she wanted to walk out, but she couldn't, not yet.

Killian got right up close to her, close enough he could see her pupils dilate. "That's too bad love, because that doesn't change the truth, all of this, everything is real! You Emma, are the only hope we have."

Emma took a deep breath, staring right back at him. "Then you're all screwed." She walked out of the station, feeling Killian's cold dark eyes watch her. She had tears in her eyes and could barley hold them in.

As he watched her leave he was debating whether he should run after her or not. He didn't, she needed her space. He walked back into the room and now everybody was looking up at him, Gold had a smug grin, obviously he had heard what he said about him and his shop.

"Everything alright? "David asked breaking the silence.

"Super" Killian said sarcastically collapsing himself into his chair.

"Told you it wouldn't be easy to make her believe" Jefferson said with a smirk towards the pirate, he tried for twenty four hours and he still didn't even get close to having her believe.

"Hey! We did not give you permission to talk!" David shouted at Jefferson. He was going hard on him since he kidnapped his wife and unborn child.

Jefferson raised his hands in apology, "Sorry."

"Hey guys, Granny told me to bring these to you, thought you might be hungry. Mary-margaret there's a chocolate milkshake for you also" Ruby said coming in with two bags and a holder of drinks. When she turned around she seen Jefferson with his hands on the cell and looking out at her. "Oh...hello there" She put on her flirtatious smile and eyes. He was cute.

"Mi'lady" Jefferson spoke as he formally bowed.

David stepped in between them, there was no way he was letting Ruby get involved with this sick man. "Alright Ruby, Granny probably needs you at the diner." Ruby had rolled her eyes and walked up. David just chuckled and went to the bag, pacing his wife food. He hoped she would at least try to eat, for the baby.

Emma had got into her bug and drove until she found herself at the Toll Bridge. She didn't care where she was going as long as she got away. She got out and slammed her car door shut, taking out her anger. Next thing she knew she was walking over to the hole where she and...Killian had found the jewelry box in and digging through it more.

"Ow!" When she picked up her finger there was a drop of blood that splash down onto the sand. Looking down into the hole she seen a sharp piece of metal, picking it up, she examined it. The piece looked like the corner from a shovel. Strange, why would this be here? She thought. She figured she would go check out Mary-margaret and David's barn, see if there was a shovel missing a piece.

It only took her twenty minutes to get the farm house. She ran out back to the barn with her flashlight since the sun had went down now and flicked it on. Looking through all the tools they had in the barn she didn't find any sort of shovel missing a piece or anything missing a piece for that matter. Then it clicked to her...Regina.

She drove slowly past The Mayors house, nobody was home, good. Taking two pieces of wire she went out to the side door of Regina's garage and picked the lock. "It's all in the tumblers" She whispered to herself. As soon as she got the door unlocked it didn't take her long to get inside and start searching. She seen old books, bags of fertilizer and for some reason there was a strange drawing of a lion. She didn't see any shovel, she was about to give up, until she seen it. Walking over she looked closer, it was missing a piece. Taking the piece from her pocket she lined the two together, they fit perfectly. "Gotcha, Regina."

Killian walked into his door sluggishly, he just wanted to relax on the sofa and drink away the pain. He lost Emma. They had a pretty big fight, they never fought before and it scared him that they did. What was suppose to happen now? The curse wouldn't break.

"Dad? Where's Emma?" Henry asked as he looked up from his Storybook that he was reading with a flashlight. For the past couple of months Emma would come over and spend the night or at least come after work before she went home.

He walked over to him slowly with a small fake smile on his face. His hands planted in the back pockets of his jeans. "Henry...me and your...mother. We had a fight, a pretty big one, and I don't think she's coming back."

"What! Why? She can't! She's the towns only hoping at breaking them from this curse! We have to go after her, dad!" Henry pleaded, throwing the book down to the floor.

"Henry, stop!" He exclaimed at the boy, making him look up at him in surprise, he never raised his voice. "That's the thing, she doesn't want to believe, she won't, it's too much stress on her."

Henry started to feel the tears sting at his eyes. "But...I want my mom, I want to know how it feels to have a mother in my life!" He cried as the tears snuck through and formed small streams down his face.

He felt so bad for his son, he knew how it felt to grow up without his mother. He was separated from his mother when he was just a babe. "I know lad. I miss my wife" He pulled the boy in, holding him close as he listened to the sobs of his son. "I miss her so much." His voice cracked when he spoke. Now streams were going down his cheeks. He tried so hard to hold them in, but he couldn't, there was too much pain to bare.

Mary-margaret sat down on her cot, rubbing her belly. She had been crying none stop since everybody left for the night. How could she let this happen? She spoke with the anger that she held deep down, she would never hurt anybody. "I'm sorry little one, mommy failed us both" She spoke out in tears.

"Bad day?" Regina slithered like a snake as she walked out from behind the shadows of the dark room.

Instantly Mary-margaret shot up to her feet. Looking at The Mayor as she walked over to her like she was on a run way. "Madame Mayor, What are you doing here?" She placed her hand over her stomach like a protective mother, sensing something strange in the air. Threat?

"I wanted to see you while I can" She spoke smoothly as she walked up to the cage with a big wide smile stamped onto her face.

Mary-margaret narrowed her eyes, "What does that mean?"

"Simply that the trail starts tomorrow, and it wont be a long one. And you'll be sent out of Storybrooke for good, and I will never have to see you again, neither will your baby, or husband" Regina said darkly, "Oh, I want to enjoy this while I can."

"Enjoy what?" Mary-margaret was confused, what is there to enjoy about somebody being framed for murder while she was pregnant.

"Justice!" Regina spoke firmly.

"Justice?" This was when she started to feel the tears sting her eyes once again and her voice went all shaky as she tried to hold it all in. "Watching an innocent suffer?"

Regina's eyes grew darker the more she looked at her. The women who took away her happy ending. She loved Daniel! Not Snow's father! She was suppose to run away and marry Daniel but this little bitch had to see it and told Cora! Especially after she promised she wouldn't! And then her own mother crushed Daniels heart to dust in front of her and forced her to love and marry the King. "You've always seen your self that way, haven't you? Innocent"

Mary-margaret stomped up to the cell bars where she was inches away from this women. Her breathing was heavy. "I am innocent!" She pleaded for what sounded like the thousandth time she said it this week, "I don't know what this is about. I don't know what I ever did to you, but whatever it was, Regina...I'm sorry. I truly am." She started to sob, she couldn't hold it in anymore. There was too much stress on her and the baby, she couldn't handle it.

"Apology not accepted" Regina whispered to the lady.

"Please. Don't do this to me. Don't do this to my baby. I don't deserve this. I did not kill Kathryn!" Mary-margaret sobbed through her cries.

"Oh, I know," Regina said as she rubbed her hand gently down Mary-margaret's cheek. That shut her up, her mouth gaped open. Regina stopped at her mouth and squeezed her cheeks together. "But you do deserve this."

Emma was listening to everything behind the corner. She heard everything she needed to hear. "Regina! I think you should go!" She said firmly at the women as she pointed her own deadly stare at the bitch.

"Of course, sheriff. I was just wishing Mary-margaret good luck." And with that she glanced once more at Mary-margaret, giving her an evil grin before walking confidently out the station.

Eyeing up the women as she walked by, Emma got the piece of shovel out of her pocket and walking over to Mary-margaret who was taking deep breaths and rubbing her stomach. "Look, I found this at the sight where we found your jewelry box.

"A...piece of a...shovel?" Mary-margaret breathed out looking down at the piece in Emma's hand.

"I searched Regina's garage and found the shovel it belonged to" She whispered, not wanting the mayor to hear if she for some reason was ease dropping around the corner.

Mary-margaret looked up in shock. "That means...Regina did do it. "She felt like throwing up. Kathryn was the only friend Regina had. Why would she do such a horrible thing.

"I believe so, I told you to..." She was cut off by a splash of water seeping through Mary-margaret's jeans. "Mary-margaret...your water just broke!"

"I know, I've been have contracts all afternoon..." She breathed in deeply as a contraction hit her once again, making her clench her stomach. "Argh! This one really wants out!"

Emma started to panic she didn't know what to do when it came to something like this. "Um...um...okay, come on. Let's get you to the hospital." Rushing, Emma ran into her office to grab her keys to unlock the cell and then helped Mary-margaret walk out the station and to her small bug that would barley have enough room for her.

"I. Need. David!" She shouted as a contraction went on harder and more painful.

Picking up her cell phone, she seen how shaky she was, she could barley dial the number. Finally managing to dial David's number, he picked up on the first ring. "Hi, David. Meet me at the hospital. Mary-margaret's water just broke and she's going into labor!" She hung up and pressed down on her gas. Rushing to get this women to the hospital to have her baby.

Hours went by, Night went into morning and the only thing she had heard from the nurses was that Mary-margaret was eight centimeters dilated and would be ready to push here any moment. She sighed, that women was only going to be with her family for a couple of days before she was rushed back to the station and locked away. She had called the curt and explained to them that Mary-margaret had gone into labor and they understood and thankfully changed her trail date.

"Did she have the baby yet?" Henry asked as he came running down the hospital corridors and up to her with a big smile. Killian was right behind him, making Emma feel very uncomfortable.

"Oh, um. No, not yet kid," She spoke softly, "How about you go and get a snack from the vending machine." She handed him three dollars before she watched him run off once again. Standing up, she seen Killian slowly approach her. "Deputy..."

Killian sighed, she was calling him by his title now? "Swan, look, listen..."

"No! I am sick of listening about this...curse. I'm no savior. We are not married. I have no parents. And Henry, is not my son!" Before he had the chance to speak she walked off to the other end of the room and sat down, turning her head so she didn't have to look at the saddened look she caused him.

"As you wish" He whispered as he watched her leave. He wasn't able to sleep at all last night after their fight, and then hearing Mary-margaret was in labor he rushed him and Henry to the hospital. It was still pretty early and the sun didn't even rise yet.

She had heard him, and it stung her right in the heart. It was the "I love you" from Princess Bride, her favourite movie. A young maiden who becomes a princess and falls in love with her house keeper that turns pirate. How Romantic.

There was a bunch of racket coming from down the corridors. Getting up Emma walked past Killian who just kept his eyes on her and then straight over to where she heard the ruckus. She seen a bunch of doctors surrounding a patient on a stretcher. She seen long curly blonde hair. Looking closer she recognized that face. Kathryn?

Running up to Dr. Whale she got his attention by tapping on his shoulder and then sinning him around. "Dr. whale, is that Kathryn Smith?"

"Indeed it is" Dr. Whale spoke trying to get away from her so he could work on his patient.

"How is that possible? She's dead! I found her heart!" Emma was so confused. Just hours ago the entire town thought Mary-margaret, a pregnant lady was responsible for the death of Kathryn Smith when really, she was alive all along.

"I'm not sure, Ruby found her outside of Granny's, face down in the dirt. But if you please, i have to go make sure she's stable" Dr. Whale rushed past her and into the room that the others had maneuvered her into.

"I want to talk to her as soon as possible!" Emma shouted after him, hoping he heard her. Something wasn't adding up anymore.

"Ms. Swan?"

As Emma turned around with a confused look on her face she seen a nurse approaching her. "Yeah?"

"Mr and Mrs. Nolan are calling for you" She said, "They had a baby boy, when she first got here the baby seemed to have been in some kind of distress but we were happy to deliver a 8 pound 4 ounce, healthy boy." She had token her into a small room that just held Mary-margaret and David inside. Mary-margaret was holding her son wrapped in a blue blanket. She had the biggest smile with a single tear running down her cheek. David was holding the baby's head and also had the proudest dad smile she ever seen. They were going to be great parents, she could feel it.

"Hi" Emma whispered, carefully walking into the room, not wanting to make any noise to scare the baby.

"Emma" David was the first to look up, "Thank you so much for bringing Mary-margaret here. If you hadn't of happened to show up when you did, I don't know what would've happened to her and the baby. So thank you"

Emma nodded with an awkward smile. Just how she felt. "Would you like to hold him, Emma?"

She didn't know how to answer, so all she did was hold out her arms and take the boy. She couldn't say no and be rude. "He's beautiful" She said with a smile, "What's his name?"

"Well, Mary-margaret really insisted on calling him...Neal" David told her.

Neal? Now Why did that name sound so familiar to her?

"Never thought I'd ever see one of those again" Killian said sneaking up into the room with Henry beside him.

"What? A baby?" Emma asked not wanting to face him.

"No, your smile, Swan." That ended up making Emma turn around with a saddened face. Why couldn't he just go away.

Mary-margaret had a tear stroll down her face, "Soon, I wont have all this, all of you guys."

"Mary-margaret...I have to tell you something -" But before she could get it out of her mouth, the same nurse that brought her here came back.

"Ms. Swan, Dr. Whale says he's ready for you."

Gently handing Neal back to Mary-margaret, "I'll tell you later, just don't worry about anything right yet, alright?" Getting a confused look and nod from the women she walked out the room and rushed to the room that she had seen Kathryn be brought into moments ago.

"Sheriff, look who's well and awake" Dr. Whale said as he seen Emma walk into the room and march straight over to Kathryn.

"Kathryn, hi. Look I don't want this to take long, a friend of mine just had her baby," That made an angry look appear upon the women's face, wow, she was jealous of Mary-margaret, "But, do you remember what happened?"

Kathryn took a deep breath, "I don't know much, I um, was in a car accident and I remember the air bag going off, I wanted to drive through the forest before I left town. And then the next thing I knew, I was in the dark, in some basement. I didn't see anyone, but there was food and water. And then I guess I was drugged?" She said in more of a question as she looked over at Dr. Whale who nodded at her. "And then I woke up at the end of town in some field, and I started walking. That was it."

Listening closely, Emma wanted to make sure that if she smelt something or heard something it wouldn't be something that would fall back onto Mary-margaret. "You didn't see anybody? hear a voice? Smell anything? Perfume? Cologne?"

"Well, now that you mention it, I do remember getting a scent of...after shave?" Kathryn said unsure.

"After shave?" That was weird, the entire time, the evidence was piling on Mary-margaret, a girl. And then Regina, also a girl. They wouldn't wear aftershave.

"I'm sorry, that's all I can tell you, I wish I could help. But...while I was gone, you thought I was dead?" Kathryn asked confused, she didn't understand why they'd think that.

"Your D.N.A did match the heart we found. I think someone was trying to frame Mary-margaret" Emma explained slowly, not wanting to overwhelm the girl.

"But why? Who would do something like that?"

Regina walked into the station once she found out that Mary-margaret had gone to the hospital since she was in labor. She could finally have the chance to talk to that lying bastard! "You broke our deal!" She shouted as she walked up to Jefferson's cell.

Jefferson shook his head and pouted his lip. "Nope, I don't remember ever making a deal with you, your majesty" He said bowing and looking up at her with a smug grin.

"Emma was suppose to die and you were going to be sent home with Grace...oh sorry Paige!" She exclaimed annoyed.

His face fell, "Yeah well, When I was watching her, I noticed that the little boy, Henry was it? Was trying to make her believe so, I figured, what's the point of killing her when I can get back on you for what you did to me! Destroy the one thing you love...the curse."

"Oh you bastard! If you think you're going to get Grace back after this...you're wrong!" Regina spat in his face.

"Well, it appears that the curse will be breaking soon, so, I can wait a few extra days" He stated.

"days?" Regina scoffed, "You've been here, you shouldn't heard the argument between the Pirate and Princess. She doesn't want to believe, and she never will."

"Ah, but that is where you're wrong. They're true loves and true love can concur any spell, and break any curse...so if I were you, your majesty, I'd get to work, or at least build yourself some protection against the mob that'll strike towards you when they all wake up!"

Regina sucked in a breath. She wouldn't let her curse break. Furiously walking out the station she sped to her fathers resting sight and went down onto her vault, trying to find something that would make the curse unbreakable...forever.

Walking back into the room that now only had Mary-margaret and David inside holding there son, Emma had a big smile planted on her face with the good news she couldn't wait to tell. "Where's Killian and Henry?" She asked slightly saddened to see them gone.

"They left, said they were going to let us have as much time together as a family as we could get. Considering that Mary-margaret has to go back to the station after tomorrow and leave Neal" David explained with a sad look upon his face. Anybody who looked closely could see the tears stinging in his eyes.

"Oh" Was all she was able to get out of her mouth. She knew she was still mad at Killian, but she thought that he would've fought for her by now, but he didn't. He gave up on her. "Well, I actually have some news about that."

"Oh, Emma, please don't say I have to leave early. I need to send time with my boy before I never see him again!" You could see the tears start to fall down the poor women's cheeks. She was so depressed and fragile for everything she had to go threw, she couldn't take no more.

Emma shook her head with a slight smile. You could just hear the two of them sigh in relief. "Actually, Kathryn showed up...she's in the hospital."

Mary-margaret's head shot up at that. "What? Alive?"

"Yes, alive," Emma said, "And, she smelt after shave while she was kept in a basement. And considering that your basement was searched when me and Killian were there, we no longer need to keep you. We have to try to figure out who this male could be."

Mary-margaret gasped. "Did you hear that Neal, we get to all be a family together, mommy gets to take you home in her arms." Neal peaked open his eyes for a brief moment before closing them once again. He was so little and precious.

"And daddy wont have to do all the dirty diapers" David joked getting a well deserved punch in the ribs by Mary-margarets elbow, getting a grunt out of him. "Okay, nevermind, I'll help." That got a nod and smile from Mary-margaret.

Emma smiled at the happy family. At least one thing good happened, finally. Looking at the two parents with the newborn child, she couldn't help but imagine what she would be like as a mother. Would she be able to do it? She imagined her children with Black hair, green eyes, and pale skin, she didn't know why, she always just did, almost like...Henry.

"He's beautiful" Killian said as he looked down at his bride, placing a kiss on her forehead.

Emma looked up and smiled, she was happy, all the pain she endured was all worth it in the end, she had her boys and her parents with her in the room.

"The curse! It's coming!"

Everyone turned to look and see Grumpy running into the room panting. "The curse...it's here" He said through breaths.

Emma looked up and seen Killian looking down at her, this would the time they see each other for ten years, she didn't even get to hold or look at her baby once. "You have to go" Emma said as tears started to form in her eyes.

Killian bent down and kissed her once last time through his tears, "I love you, Emma, I won't stop until I find you, we'll all be a family again."

"I love you too" Emma said as she watched her pirate carry her newborn babe out of the room. She started yelling, she never got to see her baby, other than the blanket he was wrapped in. "Henry!" She yelled out. hoping her baby would her her voice.

Emma softly gasped as she watched the memory disappear from her eyes.

"Emma? Are you alright?" David asked as he watched a blank Emma look up at him.

"I-I'm fine, just need some air." She rushed out of the hospital room, down the corridors and out side into the air. What did she just see? She was just thinking about having a child with black hair and green eyes and then all of a sudden she seen Killian holding a baby...their baby...Henry. No, that's not real! It's just caused from every thing that Henry had told her! It's not real! She kept telling herself over and over again.

Henry had just returned back home with his father. They went out on the sail boat that they left docked out back. The only thing he wanted was for his mother to go with them but her and dad were still in a fight. It was only two day but they never went this long without talking to each other. She was throwing a party tomorrow night to congratulate Mary-margaret for being innocent and for also having the baby. He was going but his father wasn't, unfortunately.

"Dad, how come you haven't even tried to talk to mom yet?" He questioned.

"Lad. Emma wants me to stay away, and I'm going to do just that until she realizes what we've been telling her is all true" Killian explained.

"But you can't! You always fought for her before! Even when you two first met and hated one another! You never stopped fighting for one another! And that's what you have to do now! You have to fight for her!" Henry exclaimed. He wanted his old dad back, the fearsome pirate that got whatever he wanted.

Killian knelt down on one knee to be eye level with his son. "Henry, I've tried everything. The book, kisses, dates, everything. I even tried telling her and August and Jefferson even tried to make her believe and they didn't get close, it's over Henry. I'm sorry." He started to walk away, not wanting to continue this conversation anymore.

"What about the fearsome Captain Hook that the book describes you as? Never taking no for an answer, gets whatever he wants, not scared of anything, and never fails!"

Killian stopped in his tracks and turns slowly around with a dark look on his face. "Maybe the fearsome Captain Hook stories is just that. Stories!" And with that he walked out the door.

Henry sighed. Not having Emma in his life was really starting to get to his father. He was getting angry and upset over the simplest things. He even threw away all of the hot cocoa and cinnamon and then locked away all the pictures they had taken. He wished everything would hopefully get better and sort it self out.

"Alright Gold, I need your help" Regina said marching into the imps shop. She had checked every spell in her vault, every potion, everything. But she couldn't find a single thing that would make the curse unbreakable, so much she had to deal with him.

"Regina, I've been meaning to talk to you alone but a little something I found out the other day" Gold said limping over to the other side of the counter.

"Really? Well, mine is more important! I need you to tell me how to make the curse unbreakable, I can't have the town waking up!" She shouted. She was getting so angry and upset over this, the curse was suppose to keep that from happening. It was suppose to keep her happy.

Gold ignored her demand, he didn't want to curse to break, never did. "Tell me why. Why did you tell me Belle died in your prison when she was a live this entire time!" He shouted

Regina grinned, good, he had figured it out. "Well, it was the only way you would let me cast the curse of course. If Belle was gone you had nobody else to love in your life with that Milah being gone and all. So I wanted to cast the curse when everybody would be at their weakest."

"If you wanted me to be at my worst you could've cast it a long time ago, dear!" Gold snapped.

Regina chuckled, "Come on Gold, tell me how to make the curse unbreakable!" She demanded once again.

"Unbreakable?" Gold chuckled darkly getting a serious look from Regina. "I'm sorry dearie, but the curse can't be made unbreakable. It's weakening and there's nothing you can do about it but watch and suffer."

"Why do you want this curse to break? You gave it to me to cast, now why do you want it broken?" Regina stepped into the man's face, she needed an answer.

Gold smiled softly, he loved how she wasn't afraid of him, but she really should be. "You're a smart women, your majesty, so figure it out!" Suddenly he seen the door open from the corner of his eyes, seeing Belle...Lacey step inside.

"Am I interrupting anything?" Lacey asked as she seen her boss and the man she met the other day inches away from one another, staring deeply and darkly at one another.

"No, of course not dear, Regina was just leaving anyway." He gave her a look, "Now, if you please." That word always done it. He watched her leave and walk out the door, furious. "Now, what brings you here today, Lacey?"

"Well, I went to the bakery this morning, and when I was walking back I noticed your sign, so I thought to step in and ask if you wanted to...get luck, with me" She asked shyly, afraid e would say no.

Gold was taken back, she was asking him? "I would love to, dear, where shall we go?"

"Well, there's this place down the road called Granny's, everybody around here seems to say that's the spot to go..."

"I know where it is, and I would love to." He walked out the door, offering his arm to her. She took it and it made him smile.

"He's beautiful, Mary-margaret" Granny said as she held the new bundle of joy in her arms, "He's a prince."

"Prince Neal" Mary-margaret chuckled, "Has a nice ring to it."

Emma smiled as she looked over at the happy family. "Family" She whispered to herself. When Killian had first arrived to Storybrooke and she seen Henry and him sitting in a booth, she didn't want a family, she didn't want love, because she didn't want to get hurt anymore. But then she did the worst thing imaginable. She fell in love and got sucked into a relationship she thought would last, thought he was the one, when really, he was a psycho.

But she still loved him, and she probably always will.

"Emma! Can you take a picture of us?" David asked, making her snap out of her thoughts and take the small camera that he was handing her. The family posed all together. David wrapped his arm around Mary-margaret while she held onto a sleeping Neal in a soft blue blanket. Family. She took the picture, a flash lightening up the room.

Walking off, Emma went to her kitchen, cutting up fruits and trying to make herself occupied so she didn't think about...him. The man who stole her heart and wouldn't give it back. Henry was off somewhere talking to Marco, asking if he had any sons.

"Killian coming?" David asked sneaking up behind Emma, making her jump and almost cut one of her fingers. "Sorry"

Emma sighed before she turned around to face him, "No, no I don't believe he's coming. I hope he doesn't." She lied, she did want him here. She missed him. It's been now three days since their argument and he hadn't even sent her a simple "hey" text. But who was she to complain, she never called or texted either. She had invited Henry to the party thought, and she hoped that he would've forced his father to come, but I guess he didn't.

"Come on, Emma. We both know that's a lie. Come on, I'm your best friend, your co-worker. Tell me what's on your mind." He wanted her to say it, he wanted her to hear it. He knew how she felt and he knew how Killian felt. He didn't tell her, but the past few days Killian would text him and ask how Emma was. He even said they he would drive past her apartment to check on her. He missed her.

Putting the knife down and taking a deep breath before turning to face him, Emma could lie to herself but she couldn't lie to David. "I um...I love him."

David had a big smile appeared on his face as he took the girls shoulders. He was proud of her. "See Emma, you finally opened up to love."

"Yeah, and it sucks! Because like always I'm the one who ends up hurt." She didn't noticed but a small tear was starting to form down her cheek as her eyes stung with the salt.

David wrapped his arms around her petite body. "Trust me, Killian's hurt as well. Me and Mary-margaret are here for you. You've done so much for us the past few days, there's no way we could ever repay you."

"Oh my god, Emma. You did an outstanding job setting this up! I can't believe all these people are here for me!" Mary-margaret came up to them with baby Neal in her arms and a big smile on her face, as always.

"Yeah, well you got a lot of friends" Emma said as she turned back around to finish cutting the fruits and whipping her eyes in the process, not wanting anybody else to see her cry.

"Didn't seem like that the other day" She said looking down at her baby, rubbing his chin and giving him a smile as he opened his eyes and smiled. She looked up at Emma and seen a tear line on her cheek. "Emma? Is everything alright?"

"She misses Killian" David said, getting an evil glare from Emma. Simply he just mouth "Sorry" to her before he walked off to join the party.

"Save it, David and me already talked about" Emma said before she could get into another whole conversation about how Killian loves her too and misses her and all this shit she didn't want to hear.

"Emma, I'll always be here for you...I just wish you'd open up to me." She walked off with a saddened smile. Her and Emma never really were the closest of friends.
Mary-margaret had no problem of sharing her feelings but Emma had walls up that she only out down for certain people, she wasn't one of them.

Henry ran up to Emma with a cup of punch that was being served at the party. He had watched the whole thing and heard everything. He missed her also. Every since the argument, he hasn't seen much of Emma. He would always get excited when it came to the end of the day because Emma and his father would pick him up from school, but now it was just his father, and tomorrow was the last day. He gave her a tight hug as she returned it.

"I miss you too, kid"

Killian sat out in his truck. Looking up at the party in Emma's apartment. He just wanted to jump out and go up there, wrap her in his arms and tell her he's sorry and that he loved her. But he didn't, instead he drove off with tears in his eyes and an empty flask in his hand.

I know the ending was so sad! :( I could just imagine this in my head all happening, Emma crying in David's arms because she misses Killian and Killian watching everything from outside, wishing he had his Swan back.
