Through the portal

Fernanda asked for a oneshot of Snowing's reactions had David not been able to stop Emma being able to jump through the portal to Neverland.

Emma felt her heart fall through her stomach as Greg and Tamara jumped with Henry into the swirling green vortex.

"No, no!" She called out. She only had one shot at this. She wasn't even thinking. All she knew was that her son had been taken, and she wasn't going to let him go. She sprinted away from everyone else towards the portal. David tried to grab hold of her, but he was too late. Emma slipped through his fingers and jumped in behind the others, into the unknown. Seeing Emma jump, Snow lunged forward and tried to follow, but David was quick enough for her. He wanted to jump through as well, but he knew it wasn't a good idea.

"Let me go!" Snow demanded, but it was pointless, the portal had closed. David let Snow go, and they both just stared out into the water where the portal had been moments ago.

"We lost her." Snow said, heartbroken. "Her and Henry both."

"No, we haven't. We might not know where they've gone, but we will get them back, Snow." David insisted. He refused to accept that he had lost his family. "We will find wherever they took them and bring them home with us."

"Of course we will. Like Hell am I letting them take my son." Regina growled. Snow and David still didn't exactly trust her, but if teaming up with her was their best shot at rescuing their loved ones, then they'd work with Regina.

"They've taken Henry?" Came a voice from behind them. Rumplestiltskin walked up with Belle.

"Gold. You're the Dark One, you have to know a way to follow them." David said.

"I don't. I spent a lifetime trying to jump realms." Rumple reminded him.

"I think there might be another way though." Belle said. She gestured out to sea, where the Jolly Rodger was appearing back on the horizon. David felt his insides clench. He detested the idea of being on board that ship with that dastardly pirate. It didn't seem like they had much choice though. The Jolly Rodger was capable of sailing through realms, he could take them where they needed to be. Rumplestiltskin could guide them. Neither Snow nor David liked the team that seemed to be setting up to go with them to save Emma and Henry, but they were prepared to put their differences aside. What was important now was saving their family.
