Back in storybrooke.
As soon as Rumple, Robin and Snow arrived back in Storybrooke they all went their separate ways. Either to find their children or whatever Rumple was planning to do, for all they knew he could be going to make-up with Belle or starting on finding the ingredients or something else completely, they could never know with him. Right now however both Robin and Snow were concentrated on spending lost time with their children, even though they hadn't been away for long for both them it was too long to be away from their children.
As it turned out Rumple had gone straight to speak to Belle, seeing what Emma and Killian were willing to do for each other he decided that it was finally time to fully accept his feelings for Belle and be the man she knows he could be. He walked into his shop calling out for his loved one.
"Belle, Belle are you here, I need to apologise to you for everything, I promise this time I'm going to change," He called out looking round for any sign of movement, his face fell when he couldn't hear or see her and was about to walk out the shop to find her some place else where he heard her small voice from the corner of the back room.
"Do you mean it this time? How are you going to prove this to me you've said it many times before, I don't know if I can trust you and now there is more than just me to think about, I'm going to need some proof," Belle replied not moving or looking at him, unsure of what to do next.
"What if I get Killian back from the underworld like I've promised to the charming family and then help them defeat Hades, how does that sound for proof," he asked walking over to her and gently taking one of her hands in both of his.
"I suppose that's a start, what do you need help with, I can look up some stuff in the library if that would help," she replied giving one of his hands a slight squeeze in response, she knew it was a start, this was the first time he said he was going to change and offered an action to prove it.
"That won't be necessary, I know exactly what I need to do I just needed to find you and tell you, now that I have done that I can get on with starting the spell," slowly he leant forwards and kissed her on the head before walking out to start collecting everything he needed to start the spell before taking it back to the underworld.
"Emma shh love, I know you feel weak and nauseous right now but I promise it will pass, you got through it with Henry and you will get through it with this little pirate," Killian tried to calm Emma a bit before she could get herself too worked up over her morning sickness, he didn't know much about pregnancy but from what he did know her getting worked up wasn't good for the baby.
"I know but it was nowhere near this bad with Henry, I only threw up for about a week and at most twice a day, plus I didn't really feel too nauseous," she complained burying her head into his chest again.
"Why don't you try some ginger ale, that's supposed to help your stomach isn't it," David suggested from the end of the bed.
"Oh yeah why didn't I think about it earlier, I'll just get it out of the suitcase I packed along with my prenatal vitamins and anti nausea pills that I made sure I packed even though I had no clue I was pregnant," she snided back not in the mood for her dad's pointless suggestions.
"Well Regina and I were about to go out and do the location spell on Killian's heart I'll see what the pharmacy down here stocks and we will drop it in on the way round, I'm here to help don't push me away please," David replied rubbing her head slightly in a comforting manner.
"Yeah sorry dad I guess I've never been good at being sick or having to rely on other people," Emma replied pushing his hand away.
"And together that it is what we are going to change, you'll learn that we are here for you no matter what happens," Killian said ending the conversation that was going to lead to an argument or David feeling bad about Emma's past and right now that wasn't good for any of them.
"Yeah well Regina and I will be going see you guys later," David said before everyone but Killian got up to leave leaving the new parents to have some time to themselves and talk through some things before anymore drama happened.
"Things are going to change when we get home aren't they?" Emma asked killian in a small voice once they were alone.
"Yes they are Swan but you have to remember even though it's a new experience for both of us, we are going to face this the way we have faced everything since neverland, together as a family, and now this little nugget ties us together by blood," Killian replied pulling Emma closer to him and gently placing a hand on her stomach.
"I guess yeah, I just want to have no drama for a while but I guess that is impossible at the moment, I'm also scared whilst the baby is safe for now my mum was right what if something like that happened again, I have no medical care here and no that it bothers me that I could get hurt but if anything happens to the baby it would be my fault." Emma replied placing her hand over the top of his.
"Don't worry if you feel like you want to go back home you can go in a heartbeat, as much as I want you here for selfish reason and wanting experience everything of this pregnancy with you I understand you might not feel comfortable here with everything going on," Killian replied kissing her head making sure she knew he was sincere and not just saying it to make her happy.
"Okay but only if anything happens or continues to go wrong down here, otherwise despite my doubts I would rather be with you and experience everything with you," Emma finished the conversation slowly laying back down in the bed pulling Killian with her, "but for now I want to get some more sleep this baby and the lack of food is tiring me out."
"That's fine love, I'll get you some food for when you wake up once you're asleep," but Emma didn't hear him she was already fast asleep more exhausted than even she realised.
Meanwhile Regina and David were traipsing all over the underworld Storybrooke trying to follow the locator spell that Regina had cast.
"Regina are you sure you have a hand on your magic because we seem to be going round in circles, if this isn't working please let me know now so we can come up with a different approach," David snapped at her angrily getting frustrated that they weren't getting anywhere.
"Well I don't see you doing much to help, all you are doing is following me round like a lost puppy, not exactly useful," Regina snapped back, before concentrating deeply on the energy that was being emitted by the spell.
"Yeah well there isn't much I can do without magic apparently," David replied annoyed that they weren't any closer to achieving their one job, however the only reply he got was Regina shushing him and concentrating more deeply on the spell.
"Found it, you were right I didn't quite have a hand on my magic but I got it now I know exactly where Hook's heart is without using any more magic follow me," and with her assertiveness that she had never lost from her evil queen days. She led the way to where her vault resides back home and sure enough there was a similar building here but not exactly the same as the one she had at home was.
"Well there is also a shack like your vault in the underworld I do have to say whoever went to the trouble of creating this place did do a good job of replicating Storybrooke, so why are we here?" David asked looking around a little uncomfortably.
"Because this is where Hook's heart is you imbecile," Regina snapped back before opening the doors and starting to look around, in the areas where she kept her hearts back home, finally she found a small collection of hearts, however there was no telling whose was whose, especially when they all looked similar.
"Great we have his heart then so which one is it?" David said looking at the small collection with great interest.
"I'm not sure, we can take them all back now and pick up whatever it was you wanted to get for Emma on the way home, I need to identify these hearts, not only to find which is Killian's but to return the others to their rightful owners," Regina started to walk out and towards the corner shop that they were hoping would stock some stuff to help settle Emma's morning sickness.
"Yeha good idea, why don't you get straight home and I'll stop at the store, give you more time to get started," with a court nod from Regina they went their separate ways. On the way to the store David felt uneasy being alone in the underworld wasn't something that he had thought would happen, it was also something that made him feel extremely uncomfortable. As soon as he got to the store he saw it was completely different to the one at home.
"Hello sir what can I do for you today?" he was asked by someone behind the counter that he didn't recognise, mulling it over in his head he thought he may aswell ask if he knew where the stuff he wanted was, might mean he can get home quicker.
"Have you got any ginger ale and possibly anti nausea pills or prenatal vitamins?" David asked walking up to the counter tapping the tips of his fingers on the counter top.
"We have ginger ale although no idea how good it will be, no one here ever buys anything from me, they get what they need from the blind witch's, not that dead people need anything anyway, I'll show you what we have and then try to find any anti-nausea pills or those vitamins," the friendly shopkeeper said before pointing David in the right direction before turning around to see if they stopped any of the other stuff.
Contemplating how much Emma would need he decided to grab a few bottles of the screw caps so that she could drink however much she wanted and then keep the rest fresh. Walking back to the counter he saw various bottles laid out, looking through them he picked up one of each type for Emma to decide what she wanted.
"I'll take all these thanks very much for your help," David said getting his wallet out to pay but the cashier shook his head.
"No need nothing really costs money down here, just promise me that you'll do everything you can to defeat Hades," he said before waving David home with his shopping.
