Hii guys, back with another update. A review reminded me that Peter Pan was dead and that they brought the lost boys to Storybrooke, so in order for this story to go as planned, we will ignore that happened, hope you don't get too upset with that but one way or another SQ fics slowly become au, most of the time.

Hope you guys enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 7: And so it begins

Neverland

Little Daniel right now was on a small boat with the other guy that sort of kidnapped, named Peter Pan. He was having mixed feelings about this because it was a traumatic experience for him to get kidnapped by that older guy and now he is in a boat with a younger guy that just sends him mixed signals, sometimes he seems very nice and caring but he can throw off some creepy vibe that keeps Daniel on his toes.

"Where are you taking me?" Daniel asked, keeping himself as far as possible he could from the other boy.

"I am taking you to a place called Neverland," Peter Pan responded as he watched how they got closer to the island.

"Why?"

"Because you are a lost boy."

"I am only lost because I came here to find my mom," Daniel explained while hugging himself.

"You don't need parents, none of us do," Peter told him with a slight frown and finally looked at the blonde young boy.

"That's not true!" Daniel felt a tiny bit of courage to raise his voice. "I want to find my other mom," he said grumpily, sometimes you could clearly see his age.

Peter Pan sighed out, "then tell me why isn't she with you? Why do you have to go find her?"

Daniel frowned slightly, "because she doesn't know that I am her son."

"Look kid," Peter approached him and squat down to get on the same eye level with the blonde boy, "if she cared enough about you, she'd search for you, she'd know you existed, but she doesn't, which means she doesn't care about you," he said that seriously and he could see the wary brown eyes becoming a bit desperate, he would surely crack Daniel. "So, do yourself a favor and give up on her, because she already gave up on you," and with that Peter went back to his place on the boat.

Daniel looked down at this feet, processing Peter's information, he couldn't believe what he just heard, even though it hurt him to hear and even though it made him remember how Regina easily rejected him when he went to tell her the truth, he still couldn't believe that his other mother didn't care about him, she just didn't know he existed, once he could make her see that he was indeed her son, she'd accept him. "You are lying, I am gonna find my mom," and with that Daniel stood up and looked around the boat, ready to jump out but then he remembered he couldn't swim at all, his blonde mother never taught him how to, Henry had promised him a few times before that he'd take him to the pool one day and teach him how to swim but that never happened.

"Are you seriously thinking about jumping out of this boat? When we are so far away from the mainland? You'd either die by drowning or by a shark," Peter told him and that made Daniel gulp and think twice about what he was going to do, but he just went with his gut, not minding about the consequences, perhaps it was his blonde mother's brave side kicking in.

So, Daniel jumped, completely ignoring the fact he couldn't swim and Peter's warnings.

"You crazy kid!" Peter groaned as he approached the edge of the boat and watched Daniel struggle to keep his head above water. "You don't even know how to swim? That's just sad, come here," he stretched out his hand towards Daniel's directions, waiting for the little boy to grab it, but Daniel was determined. "Do you want to die or what?! How will you find your mother if you die right now, huh?!" Since Peter couldn't break him right away, then he was going to use this whole mom card against Daniel to get what he truly wanted for the little boy, another body to continue his deeds.

Daniel wanted to prove everybody that he could do this, that he could find his mother and that she would believe him, because everybody else has been trying to stop him or crushing his hopes and he is getting tired of it, so at first he didn't accept Peter's help but when the older boy said that if he died he couldn't find his mother, it made Daniel snap out of it and struggle his way towards Peter's hand and finally grabbing it.

"Goddamn," Peter cursed under his breath as he gripped onto Daniel's small hand and pulled him into the boat. Daniel got on his fours and coughed out the water that he swallowed and after a few seconds of calming himself down, he began to shiver, it wasn't a smart move to do this, specially at night, the water was freezing.

"Look, we are finally here," Peter told him as he looked forward and noticed that the island was very close to them, he could already see the lost boys waiting for his arrival.

"Who are they?" Daniel asked with a shaky voice as he moved his hands through his medium blonde straight hair, to keep it out from his eyes.

"They are just like you, this will be your new family now," Peter told him, and Daniel didn't know how to feel about that.

Present – Well in the Forest

"I hate this well," Emma muttered as she looked down into it, it was completely empty. Gold was still preparing the spell to send them wherever Daniel would be.

"So, let me see if I got this right. Daniel is in the Enchanted Forest, there's another child, named Fiona which is basically Daniel's twin, but they are in different timelines, and Regina was the one who carried her?" David asked while crossing his arms and staring at this blonde daughter.

"That's right," Emma replied.

"So now you two are going back in time to save Daniel and Fiona too?"

"Just Daniel," Emma said a bit angry, to be fair, she only cared about Daniel right now because it was the child she carried and loved for seven, almost eight years on her own and Gold told them, disturbing Fiona's existence in the past could affect the present severely.

"What? What do you mean just Daniel? What about our other child?" Regina quickly intervened and Emma rose her eyebrows surprised at the mayor's questions.

"So now you believe he is also your child?"

"Emma-"

"Don't Emma me, even after everything I told you, you still couldn't believe Daniel was your child, but now that you found out there's another one involved that you gave birth to, you suddenly accept the fact that Daniel is also your kid?" Emma was still mad and angry about the whole situation, that was very clear.

Regina frowned and clenched her teeth, reminding herself about the conversation she had with Snow. She had to control her tongue and her temper in order to not hurt Emma because she knew the blonde was just hurt and angry about everything and the past, that's why she was lashing out so unnecessarily. "I want to save both."

"My first priority is Daniel and that's it," Emma told her but refused to look into familiar brown eyes, because she knew if she did, she'd break. She couldn't look at Regina right now mostly because deep down she knew she would never turn her back on her kids, even though she never met one of them before.

The atmosphere was very tense, and Gold was trying to just ignore everything around him because he wanted to focus on the spell, while Snow came out of nowhere, with a big backpack and an arrow and bow with her.

"I am ready!"

Emma looked up at her mother a bit surprised. "Mom, what are you doing?"

"I am coming with you guys," Snow said, a bit excited and David approached her, ready to stop his wife from doing such a thing.

"No, you are not. Hell, I wanted to do this on my own, but I know I need Regina for this," Emma told her, and those words made the mayor feel slightly happy inside because the blonde admitted that she needed her.

"Yes, Snow, it's too dangerous, I am sure the two of them can handle this just fine," David told her as he took the bow from her hands.

"But…" Snow wanted to say something, but she didn't want to upset her daughter further, so she just looked at Regina, begging her to help Emma and keep her safe.

No words were said between the two brunettes, but Regina could clearly understand her, so she nodded and said, "don't worry, we will be fine," she assured.

Snow sighed out and approached Emma, "then take this to keep you guys safe," she said while giving Emma her arrows and her backpack, then David approached her and gave her the bow as well.

And Emma appreciated this gesture because it has been many years since she stopped using her magic, she doesn't even know if she can still use it right, so her mother's weapon and backpack was going to be very helpful. "Thanks mom," Emma said with a small smile, letting her anger disappear for a few minutes.

"Okay ladies, I am ready and remember don't change the timeline or we might as well be all doomed," Gold warned them.

"We won't mess up that bad," Emma told him while adjusting the backpack.

Gold just eyed her and then looked at Regina, her eyes seemed more determined than ever, Gold could clearly see that Regina was ready for this adventure and ready to bring back both children, and he wasn't sure if that was the best thing to do. "Please understand that Fiona is a unique character. I am sure the dark magic is still very strong within her even though she doesn't know how to use it anymore since I erased her memories, but she is still very dangerous. She still has a bad temper, just like the Evil Queen," before Regina or Emma could complain about that, he raised one of his fingers and continued, "so if by any chance she remembers everything and knows about you two, we can all be in great danger. I did this to protect us all, believe it or not."

Regina paid close attention to Gold's words and she could understand what he meant, and it was making her rethink her plans, but Emma wasn't buying that.

"That's all bull. She is still just a kid and maybe just maybe she has a bad temper because you made her like that or the circumstances you put her in, made her worse. Either way, I am going to save Daniel and bring him back," she said as she approached him and the well, fire in her green eyes.; and Regina joined her, with the same determination.

Gold sighed out after seeing in their eyes that they still had that freaking hero complex that he hated so much. "Just think about what I said," and after that, he opened the portal. "Take this," he said while removing a necklace that looked like an old precious green gem. "When you are ready to get back, active this with your magic and I will bring you guys back," he explained as he handed Regina the necklace, and she put it around her neck.

"Good luck sweetheart and bring our boy back," Snow said as she hugged David's side who had a protective arm around her shoulders.

Emma looked over her shoulders and gave her parents a smile and a nod before looking down determined at the portal. Regina looked at Emma's face, noticing that in this moment nothing else existed for the blonde but the thought of saving her son, then she looked back and saw Snow's concerned face, so she gave her a reassuring smile before both women jumped into the portal and with that they were gone.

Once the portal was closed again, Gold clapped his hands together, "well if you need me, I will be in my shop preparing myself for the end of the world," after finishing that sentence he vanished, leaving a very concerned Snow and a conflicted David about this whole situation.

Neverland

"Hello everybody," Peter Pan greeted the boys as he jumped out of the boat and with their help, they moved to shore.

They were excited that Peter was back, and they were already greeting Daniel in a happy manner because if Peter brought him, then it meant he now belonged with them.

Daniel was still overwhelmed with the entire situation and with having so many new people around him, some older than him but some with the same age as his.

But before introductions could go any further, someone that seemed completely different from everybody else because of her strong presence, approached Daniel with a wary frown. "Who is this, Peter?" She asked.

"Ah, hello to you too Fiona," Peter said with a grin, already used to Fiona's wary behavior around strangers and sometimes even around them. "This is Daniel, he will be staying with us from now on."

Daniel looked up at the girl in front of him, she was clearly older and taller than he was, but she had familiar green eyes and a wild wavy long brown hair. "Hello, nice to meet you," Daniel stretched out his hand, trying to be polite, but the girl just looked down at his hand and then turned her back on him, starting to walk away, leaving Daniel confused. What did he do wrong?

"Don't mind her, she is always like that around new people," Peter told Daniel as he put his hand upon wet blonde hair.

"Yea, she is even like that with us sometimes," one of the boys told him.

"But don't worry, she can be very nice sometimes too!" Another boy told him; a bit more cheerful.

"Now come, let's get you settled," Peter told him as he ruffled his blonde hair and began to walk into the island, all the boys following him and Daniel being tugged along by a random one that was probably around his age.

He didn't know what to expect out of this, but he had to be prepared for everything, at least the other boys seemed very nice.

And that's a wrap! Hope you guys enjoyed it and sorry for any grammar error or misspelling.
