I'm so sorry I didn't update yesterday, the day just got away from me. Anyway, this chapter is based in season six, episode 5 Street Rats, when they were in the crypt and found out that Aladdin was dead. In the show, Killian didn't stay in the crypt to talk to Emma, but I really wanted him to, so that is what this chapter is about. I loved the SwanBeliever moment in that episode, though, I just wanted to write this

Thank you for all the support on this story.

I do not own OUAT or its characters.

"Mom, does this mean…?" Henry asked, not wanting to even say the word.

Emma looked at him for a moment, her expression still. "I don't know. I think I need to be alone for a minute."

Henry nodded and followed Regina and Jasmine out.

Emma turned back forward and stared at the wall.

Killian turned to leave, but stopped and looked at his True Love. She looked scared. He couldn't allow that. He sighed and stepped forward until he was next to Emma. "We'll find a way to save you, love. I promise."

Emma jumped a litte. She hadn't expected Killian to stay and talk to her. She kept her eyes glued on the wall. "Aladdin's gone. He was a saviour. So am I. I'm going to die." She felt a tear slip down her cheek.

Killian stepped in front of her and wiped the tear off her cheek. "No, you're not. I won't let it happen."

Emma looked at him. "You can't do anything about it. No one can. I'm destined to die. I have to die." She looked down. "I have to leave my family." She looked back up. "And you." Another tear slipped down her cheek.

Killian pulled Emma into a hug. "Hey, hey. It's okay. Nothing is going to happen to you."

Emma clenched Killian's jacket in her hands. She buried her face in his shoulder and cried. She released everything she had kept in the past couple days.

Killian smoothed her hair. "Shhh. It's okay."

Emma pulled away and stepped back. "No, it's not! How could you say that?"
"Emma-"

"Henry's going to lose his mother!" Emma exclaimed. "My parents are going to lose their daughter. Neal is never going to know his sister! How is that okay?"

Killian took her hand. "It's not okay, but it also isn't going to happen."

Emma took a deep breath. She took a step forward. "I'm going to lose you." She said it in a whisper, it being barely audible.

Killian shook his head. "You will never lose me, just like I will never lose you because you're not going to die."

Emma's hand started shaking, visions of her future flashing through her vision.

Killian took her shaking hand into his own. "Emma?"

Visions of her getting stabbed crossed her vision. Emma stumbled back, hand flying to her stomach where the sword stabbed her in her dream.

Killian stepped towards her, worry filling him. "Emma, what's happening?"

Emma's look was distant when she looked at Killian. She tried to step forward, but she just tripped over her feet.

Killian caught her. "Emma?"

Her vision cleared up and she looked at Killian. She sucked in a heavy breath. "I… I had another vision."

Killian's heart clenched. She's had to go through that by herself for days. He pulled Emma into a hug. "I'm sorry."

Emma shook her head and leaned into Killian. "There isn't anything you can do."

Killian knew it was true and he hated it. If they knew who this villian under the hood was, Killian swore that it would be dead by now. He held on tighter to her. "I will make sure that Henry never loses either of his mothers."
Emma smiled a little. "I love you." She immediately tensed up when she said it, not having said it since everyone got back from the Land of Untold Stories.

Killian smiled and rubbed Emma's back. "I love you, too."

Emma relaxed.

Killian pulled away and kissed his True Love. He smiled when they pulled away, his forehead resting against hers.

They heard footsteps.

Emma pulled away and stepped in front of Killian. She held up her hands when she was able to make out a figure in the dark. "Who's there?" Her hands started shaking.

Killian moved from behind his love and stood next to her, sword in hand.

The figure stepped into the light, revealing a man. The man nodded towards Emma's hands. "From one Saviour to another, that is no fun, is it?"

"From one Saviour..." Emma's eyes widened. "Aladdin?" Her hands fell to her side.

The man nodded, eyes cast down. "Yeah. That's me."

Killian sheathed his sword. "We thought you were dead."

Aladdin shrugged. "I never intended to reveal myself, but after hearing you two…" He reached into his pocket and pulled out a leather cover. "I couldn't keep these to myself." He held out his arm towards Emma.

Emma reached out to take them, but Killian pushed her arm back down. "What is that?"

"They're what I used to stop my fate. They're called the Shears of Destiny." Aladdin went on to explain what the shears did and how he used them.

Emma reached out and took the shears from Aladdin.

"We can save you," Killian whispered.

Emma shook her head. "We can, but we won't use these."

Killian looked at her in surprise. "Why not? We can save you before you're even in danger."

Emma put the shears into her pocket. She looked up at Killian. "We can't. What if another threat comes to town? I won't have my magic. I won't be able to protect anyone."

"We could protect them. Regina has magic. We could make do. Emma, if this is the only way to save you, we have to do it."

Emma shook her head. "No, we can't. We'll find another way for me to defeat my fate." Emma put her hands on Killian's cheeks. "I promise."

Killian sighed and rested his forehead against Emma's. "I won't let you die. That's my promise." He pulled away enough to kiss Emma. It was quick, Killian not wanting to make Aladdin uncomfortable. When he pulled away, he took her hand and they faced Aladdin. "Thank you, mate."

Aladdin nodded. "Well, have a nice day." He took a step back.

"Hold on," Emma said. "You're coming with us. Jasmine has been looking for you and you're going to go to her."

"Mom, what if those things are the only thing that can save you?" Henry asked, voice filled with worry.

Emma reached across the table and took Henry's hand. "It won't be. We'll find another way. I promise."

Henry looked down. He smiled and looked back up. "I'm going to hold you to that."

Emma laughed. "Okay. If I break that promise, I'll buy you a months worth of Granny's hot cocoa with cinnamon."
Henry chuckled. "Sounds good."

"We should put those things somewhere safe," Regina said. "It would be bad if they got into the wrong hands."

Emma nodded and looked at the shears in her hands. "Yeah." She looked at Killian and held the shears out to him. "Here. Take them and hide them somewhere no one will find them." Killian looked up at her. "I trust you."

Killian looked at the shears and carefully took them into his hand. He put the shears in his jacket pocket and looked up at Emma. "I trust you, too."

Emma smiled.

"Well," David said and rubbed Emma's arm from behind, "we'll get through this."

"We always do," Snow added.

Emma smiled when she felt Killian pull her back against his chest that night. Emma had gone to bed a half hour prior, but couldn't sleep, worried about Killian.

"Where did you go?" Emma asked, not turning around.

Killian breathed in Emma's scent. "I got rid of those blasted shears."

"Thank you," she said softly.

Killian kissed the back of Emma's head. "Of course."

"I'm glad you got rid of those. It would have been really bad if they got into someone else's hands."

Killian tightened his grip around Emma. "I would have never let that happen." And I still won't.

Emma snuggled closer to Killian. "Goodnight, Killian."

"Goodnight, love."

Killian didn't go to sleep until he heard Emma's quiet and steady breathing. He pulled his True Love closer and made a silent promise to never let any harm ever come to her.

I hope you enjoyed that chapter! The next chapter is kind of a sequel to this one. Oh, Happy Canada Day for any Canadians out there; and Happy Independence Day for any Americans out there! :)
