Hook fights off the lost boys one by one. It would be easier if Emma would let them actually kill the boys, but she had insisted on only knocking them out. It helped that Regina and Gold had the power to do that, but using too much power weakened them, so they were only knocking out the ones who put the others in imminent danger.
David yells, "Hook! Behind you!"
Hook turns around and his sword clashes against Felix's. Hook growls, "I have been waiting for the opportunity to fight you."
Felix smirks, "You are just in my way to the real prize. Peter was a friend."
Hook quirks a brow while blocking a thrust, "She didn't kill Peter. If you would just learn to listen, you would know that she wanted to save him."
Felix glares, "You would say anything to protect her!"
Hook sighs as he steps around the kid, "Look around. All the lost boys that we have taken out aren't dead. Look…Some are starting to wake up." He points at a few of them with his hook, "You see, I don't have a problem with killing you, but Emma, she told us not to. It really does suck. I have gotten tired of you all threatening my family."
Felix stops fighting and looks at all the other lost boys who were starting to slowly wake up. He drops his sword. He looks over at where Emma is. She was fighting against the shadow, but her movements were slowed because of her pregnancy. He looks up at Hook. She wouldn't survive this. He yells, "Lost Boys! Stand down!" He grabs his sword and runs towards her as everyone watches.
Emma didn't know what to expect from this fight or if she would even win. All she knows is she would do everything in her power to protect her family. When the shadow finally comes down to her she pulls out her sword.
She sighs, "It's about time you come out to play. I was starting to worry that we weren't friends anymore."
The shadow doesn't speak. He waves a hand a produces a sword much like hers, but black. A shadow. He swings and she block. They started out slow like they were testing the water, but the longer the fight lasted the faster the shadow moved. She wasn't as agile as she used to be. Her belly was holding her back, but she didn't give up. She was starting to grow tired and weaker. When the sword flew out of her hand and he swung forward she closes her eyes.
Felix shouts, "How dare you kill Peter!" And charges forward, blocking the strike that was inches from hitting Emma.
She opens her eyes in surprise. This was the last thing she had expected. She looks behind her and sees that everyone is motionless. The fight had stopped. She could see the look of betrayal start to rise in the rest of the lost boys. She sees their vulnerability and their need for love and protection.
Emma's head snaps around when she hears a gasp and she watches in horror as Felix falls, "Felix!" She runs over as Hook takes over the battle with the shadow, "Felix. You are going to be ok."
He looks up at her and for the first time she sees the child that just needed someone to love him in his eyes, "No, I'm not. I-I should have believed you. I am so sorry for all the trouble I have caused."
Emma shakes her head, "I get it. You have to do what is needed to survive."
He takes a shaky breath, "I forgot what it was like to be a kid. The shadow took that away from all of us. Peter was the best of us. He always made sure we were ok. He was more than my best friend. He was like my brother. When he died…"
He starts to cough violently and Emma hugs him, "Shhh…I know. I know." She kisses the top of his head, "I am so sorry I failed you."
He smiles, "You didn't. I am finally free."
She watches as he takes his last breath and lets out a sob. She looks over at Hook who is fighting the shadow. At the moment it was pretty well matched. She looks over at the rest of the lost boys who just needed a home and were taken advantage of. She looks at the people that she considered her family. She would not let this happen to them. She had been mad before, angry and upset. Now she was murderous. He couldn't play with these people and children anymore. Not if she had anything to say about it.
She stands up and walks over to Henry, "Are you ready?"
Henry nods and takes her hand, "Let's do this."
Emma and Henry walks closer to the shadow and Emma holds out her hand, "I need you to concentrate on me Henry. Focus all your energy towards me. Think of light and good things only."
Henry nods and closes his eyes. She feels the surge of energy rush up her arm and through her body. She looks at Hook, "I would move if I were you."
Hook grins and takes one last swing before he rolls away. She glares at the shadow and a blast of bright light flows out and at the shadow. They hear a peculiar yell in the air as the shadow bursts apart at its seams. Everyone ducks as pieces fly all over the place. A golden glow rushes around them and through the island. Emma turns around and laughs as she sees the beauty return. The beauty that she once loved so long ago. She hugs Henry to her side.
He smiles up at her, "You did it. I knew you would, mom."
She leans over and kisses the top of his head, "I just wish Peter and Felix could see this."
Henry hugs her belly, "I think they can."
Emma touches his cheek, "Now, let's go home."
Emma leans against Hook as the pixie's sprinkle pixie dust all over the ship. Apparently they were going to fly home…on a ship. It was a new experience for them all. She smiles up at her Captain, "We did it. We saved Henry. We saved the island and we are all in one piece."
Hook kisses her forehead, "All thanks to you. And now we get to go home and you can rest until those babies are ready."
Emma opens her mouth to say something when a stabbing pain goes through her, "Oh, God."
Hook looks at her, "Emma? What is it?"
Emma looks at her feet, "My water just broke. The babies are coming."
Hook doesn't hesitate. He lifts her off her feet and rushes down to the deck. Snow looks at him, concerned, "Is everything ok?"
Hook shakes his head, "Her…she…babies."
Emma scream, "Oh for God's sakes I am in labor!"
Snow gasps with surprise, "Ok. We can do this. Hook, take her to your cabin. Neal, take the helm! Regina I am going to need your help here! Gold make sure we are going in the right direction! Henry, get your mother water. Cold water. As cold as you can get it. David she may need you in there as well."
They all nod and run to do their perspective jobs. Hook sets Emma gently down on the bed as another contraction rips through her, "Oohhh, make it stop! I need this to stop."
Hook looks around helplessly, "Love, I don't…"
Before he can finish Snow walks in with Regina and David, "Hook, take her hand! David, take her other hand! Regina, grab a blanket!"
Henry runs in and hands Emma the water, "I hope this helps."
Emma smiles a little, "Me too. Thanks, kid."
Snow looks under the blanket, "Oh, God."
Emma yells, "Oh, God? No you don't get to say oh, God. Not when this involves me giving birth."
Snow smiles at her, "Sorry, I just have never delivered a baby. I gave birth, but… Don't worry. One of your babies is…what's the word…?"
Regina looks and pales, "Crowning. Emma you need to prepare to push. On the next contraction. Understand?"
Emma nods and starts to scream as she squeezes both David's and Hook's hands. They wince, but keep silent. Snow yells, "PUSH!"
This lasts for a few more rounds. The baby comes out and Regina grins, "It's a little girl. She is so beautiful. She has your eyes and Killian's dark hair."
Emma cries with joy as she holds her arms out, "She is perfect."
Hook kisses her forehead and touches the baby girl's small hand, "She looks just like you, love."
Emma laughs, "Except for that hair. It's just like her daddy's."
Henry steps up, "Can I…Can I hold her?"
Emma nods, "Of course. Be careful. Support the head…There you go."
Snow looks up, "The next one is coming. Are you ready?"
Emma shakes her head, "No. I don't know if I can do that again."
David touches her cheek, "You can do it, sweetie. Just a couple more pushes. I believe in you."
Emma smiles and holds out her hands. They are taken and she pushes and pushes and pushes until her baby is born. She falls back on the bed exhausted. Snow grins now, "Looks like a beautiful baby boy. He is just the opposite of his sister. Killian's eyes and Emma's hair."
Emma laughs through her tears, "Let me see." She holds out her arms and she smiles, "All my babies are perfect." She smiles at Henry and her daughter. Suddenly she frowns, "Take the baby. SOMEBODY TAKE THE BABY!"
David complies and grabs him as Emma starts to seize. Snow screams, "She is bleeding badly! We need a doctor. NOW!"
Hook runs above deck and pushes Neal out of the way. He shouts demands at Gold and Neal before they can ask questions. They hear shouts coming from below deck and decide not to argue. Henry and David run up with the babies and frantic looks on their faces.
Snow runs up with blood covering her, "I don't know if we can stop the bleeding. We need to get her to Dr. Whale."
Hook peers through his handheld telescope, "There in the distance. I see it. We should be there soon. Do whatever you can."
Snow nods "Don't worry. I won't let her die."
Belle squints into the sky as she sees a giant object, "Do you see that?"
Ruby looks up, "Oh my God is that…?"
Belle jumps up and grins, "They are home! They made it. I knew they would."
Ruby puts her arm around her shoulder, "Let's just hope they all made it."
The ship lands gently in the water and Hook expertly docks it. Snow takes the baby from David as he rushes down to grab Emma. Regina yells down at the, "Get Dr. Whale! NOW! It's an emergency."
David carries Emma down the plank and Ruby runs to her car and opens the door, "I can drive. Hurry."
They get in and speed off. Belle hangs up her phone, "He is on his way to the hospital now. Come on."
They all take off at a jog towards the hospital. Snow and Regina now hold the babies carefully.
Emma is rushed into surgery as soon as they arrive and David puts his head in his hands, not realizing that he was covered in blood. She couldn't die. Not after all this. Not when they just made it home. Not when she had two beautiful babies.
Snow, Hook, Regina, Neal, Henry, Gold and Belle run in. Snow and Regina run to the front desk and to check in the babies and rush back in time to hear Hook demand, "Where the bloody hell is she?"
Ruby is the one to speak up, "They had to rush her into surgery. They don't know how long it is going to take. It depends on the damage."
Hook crumbles to the ground, sobbing. Henry buries his face in Neal's side. Now they just had to wait and hope that Emma was strong enough to survive.
A/N: Well that was a bit dramatic. I really didnt expect that turn of events to happen, but sometimes you cant help what springs to life.
Emma is having some real bad luck. Let's hope she pulls through, huh...Even i am unsure what will happen, but my fingers usually know what they want to type before I do.
I hope you enjoy and keep up the reviews. They fuel me to keep going. Give me your thoughts. :)
XOXO
