First off I just want to say thank you for all of the lovely reviews. Thank you for those of you who have followed and favorited this story. I hope that you like this new chapter. Thank you for reading and reviewing.


"You bitch! You betrayed me!" He yelled as he grabbed the blonde by her hair and slammed her head against the porcelain basin sink.

Blood splattered the concrete walls as Emma cried out in agony and pain. He took his belt off and stripped her of her clothes as he beat her body with the cold metal part of his belt.

"You will not make it out alive darling. I will destroy you!"

A few more punches were thrown in Emma's face and body. She felt so weak and like her life was draining out of her; but she needed to see her daughter get saved. She needed to know that her baby girl would finally be safe.

Ian stood over the blonde's barely breathing body; his hands shaking out of pure fury and anger. Reaching to his hip he grabs his pocket knife and flicks it open. He drags it along her body leaving a light pink welted line.

He can hear the first door being opened and he knows he doesn't have much time. He takes the blonde into his strong embrace and holds the knife to her neck as the second door is opened.


"Boston PD! Drop your weapon and step away from her. Put your hands in the air."

He grips her harder and she lets out a gurgled cry as the blade goes slightly into her neck.

"Ian, let her go. It's over." Officer Graham speaks in a firm tone as he grips his gun in his hand. A swat team is right behind him and he knows without a doubt that he will get this young woman and her child out of here alive.

It happens all too quickly, the knife slides right into the blonde's neck as her body falls to the floor. Shots are fired and with a loud thud Ian collapses in a puddle of his own dark red blood.

The closet door opens and Ember crawls out the phone still in her little hand. She crawls over to Emma and cries loudly as officer Graham picks her up into his strong arms. "Mommy! Wake up Mommy!"


Regina is in her car already driving to where Snow and Charming live. Her hands are still shaking from hearing everything that happened. She still can't shake hearing that little girl crying. She hopes and prays that Emma is still alive.

Snow and Charming both get into her car and it's apparent that they are both worried and eager to get answers.

"They found Emma and she is being treated at Boston Memorial Hospital… along with her daughter…" Regina paused. It was a shock to her that Emma had a daughter; but she was sure that the blonde's parents' would be even more shocked and worried.

"Daughter…our baby has a daughter? How old is she? Was she hurt?" Snow rambled as more tears fell down her cheeks.

"Yes, she must have gotten pregnant by the man who held her captive. When I was on the phone with Ember she sounded to be around two years old; but a very smart two year old. I'm not sure if she was physically hurt." The brunette said as she kept her eyes on the road. In twenty minutes they would be reunited with Emma and for the first time meet a very brave toddler.


Regina pulled out her phone and saw that officer Graham was calling her. They had just arrived at the hospital and she didn't know where to go.

"Mayor Mills? This is Officer Graham with Boston PD and I have Ember here in the children's unit. In the ambulance Miss Swan verbally gave consent that her daughter would be placed in your custody. The doctors have discharged her as physically she is fine other than being underweight."

Regina nodded her head as she gripped her phone harder in her hand. "I'm on my way. What about Emma? How is she and where is she? Her parents are here."

He paused as he walked away from the sleeping toddler and walked over to the door, "Emma Swan is in surgery and will be placed in ICU… if all goes well. Mayor Mills, it does not look good for Miss Swan. She might not make it."
