Gold and Belle take Henry to his shop while Emma, Hook, David, and Snow run down to the mines. Regina leads since she can sense the magic.
Emma frowns, "I can feel it. It's like the oxygen is being sucked out of the air."
Regina nods in agreement, "It is starting."
Snow bites her lip, "How are we going to stop it?"
Regina looks back worriedly, "There is no way to stop it. Once it has been triggered…"
Emma gasps, "So we are all going to die. And Henry…" Hook grabs her hand in comfort, "He is going to be alone. I can't leave him alone! I can't!" She touches her stomach when she remembers, "Oh, God!"
She looks up at Hook and sees the same fear running across his face, "I have to get you out of here."
Before anyone can say anything they see the gem floating in the air. Regina steps forward, "I can slow it down. Make it so you all can escape."
Emma shakes her head, "No. I am not leaving you here. Henry has already lost his father. He is not losing a mother as well!"
Regina cries out, "I know, Emma! But there is no other option! What else can we do? Even I do stop it, I will die."
Emma steps forward, "I have magic, too. If we both do this, then we both should survive."
Hook looks at her with terror, "No! Emma, you can't. I won't let you do this."
Emma touches his cheek, "I have to, Killian." He nearly breaks at hearing her say his real name, "We will be fine. I promise!"
To everyone else that sounded like she was just talking about her and Regina, but she knew Killian would understand her true meaning. And he nods reluctantly as he steps back. Emma walks over and stands across from Regina, "Ready?"
She nods and they both close their eyes and put their hands over the gem. Magic comes off their fingers and their heads fall back. They are both breathing heavily and can feel themselves being drained. Suddenly there is a noise and they are thrown back, falling into unconsciousness.
Belle is sitting on the couch trying her best to comfort Rumple. After all he had gone through and now this. His head was on her shoulder and she was running her hand over his hair. Henry was in the front of the shop. She had protested, but he said he needed a moment alone to think.
There was a sound at the front of the shop and both Belle and Gold jumped up. Henry yelled and then the door closed and everything went silent. Gold limps forward, "Henry? Henry!"
Belle opens the curtain to an empty shop, "He's gone." She turns to Gold, "Someone has taken him."
Gold buries his head in his hands and screams angrily. He looks up, "Come on. They will pay."
Emma wakes up and looks around. Snow and David start to sit up slowly near the wall and Regina was already on her feet. Emma looks for Killian and starts to panic until she hears a grunt behind her, "Well, that was bloody painful!"
She turns around laughing and hugs and kisses him, "We are alive! We are fine."
He smiles and pushes a strand of hair behind her ear, "Aye, love. It seems I shouldn't doubt you."
She shrugs, "Well, that's a given."
David steps forward, "Alright you two. Break it up."
Emma rolls her eyes and takes her father's hand to get up. They all make their way out of the mines and back to the street when they see Henry struggling between two figures. "HENRY!"
Tamara turns and Emma starts running as the others fall close behind. Tamara, Greg and Henry are almost to the edge when they throw a bean and a portal opens up. They jump through and disappear. Emma screams and David has to physically hold her back from jumping as they watch the portal close.
She falls to her knees, "HENRY! No!"
Regina falls next to her and hugs her close as they both sob. David hugs Snow and they both cry over the loss of their grandson. And Hook just stares on in horror.
Gold steps forward, "Emma…"
Emma stands up and grabs him by the front of his shirt, "How the hell did this happen, Gold?! You were supposed to watch him! I trusted you to keep him safe!"
Snow puts her hand on Emma's shoulder, "Emma… let him go."
Emma does as she says and slaps him hard across the face. Belle gasps and Gold puts a hand to his face and adjusts his jaw. Gold looks back up, "You put a little magic behind the swing, dearie. If I weren't magic myself, there would be a bruise."
Emma starts to lunge forward at him but is held back by Hook, which surprises everyone on the dock. Emma turns on him, "What the hell are you doing?"
Hook smirks, "As much as I would love to see you beat his ass, something tells me we need him to save Henry."
Gold nods, "If we can find a way to make a portal…"
Hook grins and reaches in his pocket, "I was saving this for a rainy day. Seems today is that day."
They all look in his hand as he holds it open. Snow gasps, "Is that…?"
Gold smiles, "A magic bean. What are we waiting for?"
Emma felt weak. Too much was happening around her and she feels the nausea build up and runs to the side of the dock and loses her lunch and possibly breakfast. Belle helps her up and when she turns around she seems them all look at her with concern except Hook who walks over and takes the hand Belle wasn't holding.
Belle looks at her, "You have to tell them. Before the journey. They need to know."
Hook nods his agreement, "It is the safest way."
David frowns, not liking the secrecy, "Tell us what?"
Emma swallows the lump in her throat, "Well, I found out recently, like just recently, that I am expecting…" She looks at Killian, "Killian and I are expecting…Oh screw it…I am pregnant with Hook's child."
David's face turns redder than anyone has ever seen it and Snow chokes on a cough. Regina and Gold were the only ones that didn't seem that shocked by it.
Gold looks on at them with a bored expression and sighs, "Can we just get on with this?"
They all nod silently and walk to the Jolly Roger. Gold turns to Belle, "I need you to stay here and keep an eye on things."
Belle shakes her head, "No. I want to go with you."
Gold touches her cheek, "Someone needs to stay back and tell everyone what has happened and make sure that everything stays safe."
Belle nods begrudgingly, "Ok. Come back to me and be safe."
They kiss and Gold walks onto the ship, "Where to?"
Emma frowns, "Where do you think?"
Hook heads to the helm, "Off to Neverland."
Emma lies in the in the Captain's quarters and tries to keep from crying. Everything had gone to Hell in such a short time and now they were in a place she never wanted to be. How could this be happening? She hadn't been strong enough to stop it.
Hook enters the room and lies next to her, "Emma, I am so sorry. I don't know what I can say to make this better."
She looks over at him and puts her hand on her stomach, "I am so scared that all this is going to hurt the baby. I just…I can't…I don't know. I feel as though I am about to lose everything that I have ever loved."
Hook puts his hand on top of hers, "I will protect the both of you with my life and I will find Henry! You are not going to lose more than you already have. I swear that to you."
The tears she had been holding back start to fall, "But you are part of that. I can't bear the thought of losing you either. This all is too much."
Hook pulls her in for a sweet kiss, "We are stronger together than we are apart. We will do this."
She smiles, "I hope you are right. We better get back up there. I think I am ready to face it again." She closes her eyes, "I can't believe I am back here."
Hook stands up and pulls her up along with him, "Neither can I, lass. But we will survive."
They walk up to the deck hand in hand and Hook lets her walk over to the side as he walks to the helm to take over for a while. Snow and David walk up to her.
Snow sighs, "I know how hard this has all been and you can't blame yourself. It wasn't your fault."
Emma slowly turns to look at them, "I don't blame myself. I blame you. You keep saying that good always wins, but not in my world. That hasn't been my experience."
David frowns, "It's that Pirates fault."
Snow turns on him, "Get the hell over that, Charming." She turns back to Emma, "It has been our experience. Let us impart our wisdom…"
Emma cuts her off, "We are the same age. We have the same amount of wisdom. I just need you to stop, ok? My only goal is to get Henry back and start my family with Hook and this baby."
Snow steps back and nods. David takes over the helm reluctantly to let Hook talk to Emma.
He puts his hand around her waist, "Are you ok, love?"
Emma shrugs, not really knowing the answer, "I just hate how infuriatingly optimistic those two are. I just need it to stop so I can breathe."
Hook smiles, "I am always here for some skepticism. And a good laugh."
Emma grins and kisses him when they feel the boat jar. Emma stumbles and Hook catches her. He looks up at David, "What the hell did you do, mate?"
David scowls, "I didn't do anything, Pirate!"
Gold appears in some strange attire and Regina frowns, "Uh, why the costume change?"
Gold smiles, "Well, I am going to find Henry. And the dark one attire will help with the natives." Before anyone responds a swirl of smoke appears and he is gone.
Emma groans, "Well isn't that just great. Bastard!"
The ship jars again and Hook rushes to the helm, "You obviously don't know what you are doing up here."
Emma races to the side, "It isn't him. There is something in the water." Snow and Regina rush to her side, "Oh for heaven's sake, are those mermaids?"
Hook yells, "Hold on everybody. We are in for a bumpy ride."
They all take a hold of something and David rushes to a canon and starts shooting it into the water. Snow finds a net and throws it over, "I caught one."
Regina rolls her eyes, "Just one!" She magically creates a ball of fire, "Here. Move aside."
She starts throwing them and the mermaids slowly back off. "There they are gone."
Emma shakes her head, "Not all of them." Regina magically beams her on board, "Well that was cheating."
Regina smiles and they all look at the lovely creature before them. Hook yells again, "Get that thing off my ship!"
Snow yells back, "No maybe she can help us." The mermaid blows on a conch shell and a storm starts to brew, "What did you do?"
David walks over and pulls out his sword putting it to the mermaid's neck, "Stop this storm!"
The mermaid laughs and Regina leans closer "Do it, Charming! Belay the bitch!"
Snow screams, "Charming! No!"
David hesitates and pulls back the sword. Regina glares, "What the hell?"
Snow glares back, "We can't just kill her. She may be the only one that can stop the storm!"
Regina laughs, "She isn't going to do that! We are no longer in Storybrooke! Those rules don't apply here!"
Snow steps towards her, "I should have known! Once the evil queen always the evil queen."
Regina's eyes widen, "How dare you!"
The mermaid speaks for the first time, "You all are already dead. You will kill yourselves!"
Regina waves a hand over her and she turns to wood, "There. That's taken care of."
Snow gasps, "What did you do?"
They all turn to see a giant wave coming at them and David runs to the helm to help Hook. Snow glares at Regina, "This is all your fault!" And to Emma's surprise Snow punches Regina in the face. And Regina retaliates.
Emma yells, "Stop!"
David screams, "How dare you lay a hand on my wife."
Hook laughs, "Let them have it out, mate."
David turns on him, "I am not your mate! Especially after what you have done!" He then punches Hook in the jaw and they start to grapple.
Emma runs up to take the helm and shouts at them all to stop. No one listens and she looks around as the storm get worse. They were causing it. She lets go and yells as loud as she can, "Hey! You need to stop. We are causing this storm with all this fighting."
They all ignore her and she runs to the side of the ship and stands on it, "Hey! Listen to me!" A line snaps and hits her, making her fall into the water. Everyone on board turns and runs over, screaming her name. David hops up to dive in but Snow yells, "No you can't jump in. you will drown."
He looks back, "If I don't, then she will."
Hook grabs a rope, "Tie this around your waist and we will pull you to safety once you got her."
David takes it and does what he says. He dives in and hits the cold water looking around for his daughter. He sees her floating and unconscious and swims as fast as he can towards her. Once he has his arms around her, he surfaces and yanks the rope to let them know they can pull them up.
Once on deck he lays her on top of his lap, "Come on, Emma. Breathe."
Hook watches all this as if he is far away. He couldn't lose her. She had to breathe. She had to. Come on, Emma. "Dammit, Emma! Bloody breathe already!"
Emma starts coughing up water and they all let out the breath they had been holding. She looks at them all as the sun comes out, "I told you."
David laughs and pulls her to him for a hug. Snow kneels down and joins the hug with relief. She pulls back and points a finger at Emma, "Emma Swan! You need to be more careful! Especially with that baby inside!"
David stiffens at the mention of the baby and Emma grins, "Calm down, David. It's not like I don't already have a son."
David scowls, "Yeah, but that wasn't with a pirate."
Emma shakes her head, "No that was with Rumpelstiltskin's son who, by the way, sent me to jail for a crime he committed. So…which is worse?"
David rolls his eyes, "I guess you have a point there."
Regina helps Emma up, "You just have bad taste in men, apparently."
Hook mocks a look of insult, "Hey! I am standing right here."
Emma grins, "Yes you are." And she runs to him and gives him a big kiss.
Hook smirks at David as they break apart and David growls, "Watch it, Pirate."
The storm did too much damage to the ship so they have to go onto the island with some of the old resentment flaring between Snow, David and Regina. Regina gestures to the ship, "We don't have to do it this way. I can fix the Jolly Roger. My magic is strong enough."
Emma turns to her, "Save your magic. We are going to need it. The shadow already knows we are here. It's time we stop running." They all look up at her in surprise, "This land is run on belief. All of us have been too busy being at each other's throats once we got here to be true believers. I was as wrong as anyone else. It's time for all of us to believe. Not in magic, but in each other. I know there is a lot of history here. A lot of hate."
Hook shrugs, "Actually, I quite fancy you from time to time when you're not yelling at me." He gets the desired effect when she tries not to smile at him.
She rolls her eyes and continues, "We don't need to be friends. What we need to get Henry back is cooperation."
David gestures to Regina, "With her?" Then to Hook, "With him?" Hook raises a brow at him, "Oh, come on. We have to do this the right way."
To everyone's surprise, Emma says, "No, we don't. We just need to succeed. And the way we do that is just to be who we are." She point to David and Snow, "A hero." Then to Regina, "A villain." Then to Hook, "A pirate. Doesn't matter which because we are gonna need those skills whether we can stomach them or not."
Regina sighs hating to ask this question, not wanting to ruin the only friendship she had, "Then what is your skill, Emma?"
Emma looks at her and puts a hand to her stomach, "I am a mother!" Snow snaps to attention at that, "And now I am also your leader. So you can either help me get my son back or get out of the way!"
She pulls out her sword and walks away. David smirks and follow behind along with Snow. Hook stands back for second beaming with pride for Emma. She really did know how to take charge. That was one of the things he had fallen in love with. He looks at Regina and shrugs following suit. Regina looks down and puts her hands in her pocket as she starts to walk forward.
A/N: So i just want to say that I really, really want Captain Hook and Emma together on the show. I like Neal and all and I want him to be happy, but they just dont have the chemistry that I love so much about Captain Swan. They challenge each other and make each other better. I love that in a relationship.
Ok sorry. I just had to get that out there before i explode. This might not be the exact reaction you wanted when they find out about Emma being pregnant, but it is still the beginning. As you can see, David is still simmering and something is bound to push him over the edge, right? And Snow being her calm self tends to get in the way of that.
A couple things I took from the show that i couldnt part with was the fight scene. I love when people's emotions get the best of them. And the speech that Emma gives when they arrive on shore. I had to watch that over and over again because I loved it so much. I couldnt leave it out. Some parts are a little different to go more with the story line.
One more thing we are going to see more of the evil queen being her evil self by simmered down. I know i am telling you a lot, but i want you to stay excited and know what there is to look forward to. Sorry for rambling...Some of you probably dont read this anyways, which is fine. I get it.
Enjoy and Review
XOXO
