I could feel my legs running as fast as they could away from something from a danger that was unknown to me. All I could feel was searing pain running throughout my body, I knew that help was necessary and I needed to get to the end of the darkness if I had the chance of surviving. With each step I took the pain got worse but I couldn't let myself stop each cramp that ricochet up through my body only made me fight harder until I could no longer fight it anymore. As I hit the floor the only pain that was left was in my stomach. Something was wrong, I needed to get up and keep running to save my child but as soon as I tried to get up I felt myself being forced back down by hands on my shoulders but there was no one else around. Slowly there were little white dots appearing in the darkness slowly getting bigger and bigger until I could no longer see from the brightness.
"Emma, wake up," I heard a frantic voice shouting down at me and my shoulders being lightly shaken whilst keeping me lay on the bed. However all I could think about was getting out of there, get away from the danger that was threatening to harm my baby, whoever it was that had a hold of me was not going to be able to keep me there.
"Get off me I need to get out of here, I need to save my baby," I screamed out half from the desperation to try get somewhere safe but half from the cramps that were still pulsing through me, however slowly everything was coming into focus and I remembered I wasn't in the dark space that seemed to have no end I was in underworld surrounded by family. The family that was all know looking around at me in shock and concern at the latest remark.
"Swan you need to calm down, shh it was just a dream, a bad dream that's all, you just need to relax a little and everything will go away I promise you Swan," Killian said slowly wrapping his arms around me running his hand over my hair trying to get me to relax even though he didn't know what had got me so worked up.
"Killian it wasn't just a bad dream, it hurts, my stomach hurts," I turned around so my face was buried in his chest hiding my face so no one else could see what I was feeling. It seemed that whilst I was asleep he had showered and been healed by someone as he smelled fresh and no longer had cuts and bruises all over him. I winced again balling his shirt up in my hands as another cramp ripped through me.
"What baby were you on about? We really need to get you to a doctor sweetheart," My mum came over to sit on the bed but not before Henry pushed her out the way and put a hand on my back rubbing it slowly, he was obviously worried and not used to seeing me like this, there is also the small matter of the fact he was one of the few that knew that I was pregnant and also knew that this could be bad for the baby.
"Mum what's wrong? Is it the baby? We need to get you back to Storybooke," he spoke almost so quickly that we couldn't understand him.
"Can someone explain what baby this is?" My mother spoke up again clearly completely confused by the whole situation. I looked up at Regina momentarily indicating with a nod that she was okay to tell them then burying my head back in Killian's chest to hide how much the now slightly dulling pains were affecting me.
"Well earlier today when Emma, Henry and I were in the flat after we kicked you all out we found out the reason that she was getting sick, Emma is pregnant so it's just morning sickness that is making her sick, and now something could be wrong with the baby judging by Emma's current state," she looked around trying to gage everyone's reaction.
A tense silence had taken over the room and despite the comforting movements from my son and boyfriend I couldn't quite calm myself down to the point of reasonable thinking, something was wrong and I needed to find out what.
"Well then half of us need to go back to Storybrooke with Emma and get her the medical care she needs and the other half stays here to find a way to get Hook home and defeat Hades," Snow stated as if it was the most obvious solution and that no one could disagree with it, there was one small floor, I wasn't leaving Killian anywhere at this moment let alone the underworld.
"I'm not leaving him down here no matter what it means for me and the baby," I replied looking up to try show how serious I was but failed when my face betrayed the pain that I was in, no matter what I wasn't going to leave him here, I couldn't bear to lose this baby but losing Killian would be even worse, not that I didn't trust my friends and family to get him home but i couldn't bear to be away again after everything that we had been through already.
"Emma you need to think about the baby, we will get Killian home but what good will that be if you're both left regretting a decision for life because you didn't get the proper medical attention," Regina tried to point all the positives out but nothing could sway my mind.
"I'm staying no matter what, if you're that worried about me find out a way to do all the medical checks here, we have exactly the same facilities here as we do in Storybrooke except Doctor Whale isn't here and I'm sure between us all we can work out what to do with everything," I said holding on to Killian tighter to make sure they wouldn't tear us apart.
"Well I guess we could but it would be best for you to get back home Emma, if you're determined to stay here but we are giving you every test possible at the hospital here and only when they all come back normal are you allowed to stay here, if you're going to be throwing up or in pain all the time you'd be more use back at home then," Regina snarked realising that they weren't going to break my stubbornness on this.
"Great, I think I just stressed myself out too much and then I kinda had a horrible nightmare and it must of pushed us over the edge and unsettled him, I had it with Henry too sometimes but not as severe," I tried to explain and reassure everyone. Even though I was putting across a brave face and good show for everyone else, inside I was dreading what these tests might say.
"So now we are all going to the hospital because you two didn't think about protection whilst exchanging bodily fluids as the dark ones," Rumple grumbled obviously hoping that now we had Killian that it wouldn't be long before we all be back home. Now there was more to worry about, getting Killian a heart back and then find a way to portal home.
"Well my daughter and possibly grandchild is in danger so obviously I'm going, and everyone here is family, and family helps when others are hurt," Mum said not happy with how he was acting.
"Mum it's fine if he doesn't want to come he doesn't have to go, someone needs to work out how we are going to get home and get KIllian home so he might as well stay here and get working on a plan," I said slowly pushing myself to the sitting up position taking deep breaths to try ease any nausea or dizziness that could present itself.
"Okay fine if you insist but we should get going now if you're up to it, the sooner we can run the tests the more we will know," as I was helped to my feet and supported by David and Robin i secretly thought to myself it must be the first time that my mother the eternal optimist had been thinking pessimistically.
Trying to find a way to get us all to the hospital quickly also brought up another issue, Regina could only transport two others by magic as she still didn't quite have the same control over it as she did in Storybrooke. Of course it was insisted that I chose who was going with me but there was only one person I knew I wanted to be with right now and that was KIllian so making the decision was easy.
Once we got to the hospital we thought that would be it Regina, Killian and I could all finally find out what was going on and hopefully fix Killian's injuries whilst we were here, but of course this is the underworld nothing can ever go to plan.
Sorry this chapter isn't the best I was just trying to get it done for you at the end as I've been totally lacking in motivation recently. Anyway I'm going to start on the next chapter and hopefully that will be better I'm planning for some more interesting stuff to happen or at least start happening soon. Thank you for reading and please review positive or negative I love hearing any feedback people are willing to give me.
