"Belle, Belle are you in here," Rumple called out again looking for his wife to say a proper goodbye before he left to go back to the underworld, they were finally getting back on track after he has now realised that that he really did love her and it was the power that he had had for so long and he would have been lost without it, before he was forced to give it up, now he would never take it back.
"Yeah I'm here just sorting some stuff out in the back," Belle called back whilst sorting things into different boxes ready to be put on certain displays later.
"Okay I'm going back now and as soon as I can safely make sure everyone gets home I am on my way back to you, I promise you this time no deals no dark magic just me helping our friends and family," Rumple promised her before giving her a chaste kiss and leaving to go back to the underworld.
Upstairs in the underworld loft the trio were all curled up together in the bed with Emma asleep Killian and Henry were talking quietly about something they could do for Emma to help cheer her up. The peace that the three of them had created was quickly disrupted when Regina let the door slam behind her with her arms full of the hearts and then only a few minutes later david came in and just neglected to shut the door like normal, this in turn woke Emma up from her peaceful slumber.
"Mm swhat's going on?" she questioned still half asleep snuggling further into Killian's chest.
"Nothing Swan it was just your father and Regina returning home you can go back to sleep if you want," he reassured her that nothing bad was happening.
"It's fine I should probably get up try to eat and help you guys figure some stuff out, I can still help even if it means not leaving the apartment much, just let me wake up properly first," she replied mumbling into his chest.
"Okay but could I get up to go make you some food, we need to get some nutrients into you love, as best we can," Killian replied giving her one last kiss on her head and pulling Henry downstairs to give her a minute alone.
It was at least ten minutes later when a figure slowly padded its way down the stairs rubbing her eyes and trying to smooth down her hair a little. Once down the stairs she made her way over to the closest chair and curled up into herself.
"Here you go love eat as much or as little as you want and here's the ginger ale and vitamins that your dad picked up for you," Killian said placing a plate of food down in front of Emma.
"Thanks babe, where are we up to with our plan for defeating Hades and getting you back home?" Emma asked to everyone else in the room wanting to be involved with everything still, it was at that point that Regina walked into the room carrying a slightly darkened heart having overheard Emma coming down and asking the question.
"Well I still have no clue how to defeat Hades but this is Killian's heart, so Rumple should be back soon then I guess we start discussing ways to defeat Hades or at least just get out of the underworld then come up with a plan in Storybrooke," Regina said locking Killian's heart in a safe with blood magic so no one else could get it.
"Sounds good to be the sooner we get home the more medical care we have available for Emma, I vote we wait for Gold and then get the hell back home," David voiced his opinion straight not wanting anything to happen to his daughter or grandchild.
"Yeah what dad said I just want to be with Killian so I don't mind where we are too much, also I need to be alone for a little while think some things over does anyone mind if I go for a ten minute walk," Emma said nibbling on her toast feeling a hundred times better than earlier.
"I'm not sure Em Hades is out there and you're in a vulnerable state right now, I would feel better if someone went with you," David replied rubbing his daughter's arm trying to comfort her whilst she nibbled on her food.
"I know but I'll take my gun with me and only be out for ten minutes, dad please I need some time to think things through alone and also need some air, I'll only be ten minutes max please," Emma replied giving her dad the puppy eyes knowing that he couldn't resist them.
"Fine but I'm timing you 10 minutes and I want you in sight of the window, as soon as you're over ten minutes or I can't see you I'm coming out and looking for you," David laid the rules down in his dad voice showing that they were non negotiable and if she really wanted to go out this was the way it was going to be.
"Alright fine I'll do that if you don't constantly watch me from the window because that's creepy," Emma agreed before pushing the rest of her food away and going to put on some different clothes trying to help her feel more like herself again for a little bit.
"I don't like the thought of her going out there mate, even with your rules I don't trust the underworld anything could happen," Killian said to David not wanting his love to go alone especially after what happened with her and the baby yesterday.
"I know but you know Emma and if we try stopher she's just going to find a way to do it anyway," David reminded Killian before giving him a reassuring pat on his arm letting him know that nothing was going to happen to her.
As Emma walked down the stairs Killian walked over and took her into the bedroom for a quick chat before she went for her walk.
"I know that you need to go out and have your time alone with just your own mind, but please be careful any sign of danger I want you to come straight home or if you feel anything to do with baby, I know I'm being overprotective but I don't want you to end up down here too," he explained carefully pulling his arms.
"I know Killian don't worry I'm going to follow all the rules I just want to be outside by myself for even a few minutes just to process my thoughts, I'll be back before you know it," Emma replied giving him a quick kiss before walking out of the room and then the flat. Once she was out of the flat she walked to the bench at the edge of the woods that could still be seen by the windows of the house. She had been sat out for just over 5 minutes finally processing through all her thoughts before she heard a rustling in the bushes behind and before she had the chance to turn around the voice behind the rustling spoke.
"Don't turn around you are to act like I'm not here else that baby in your stomach will never get to see daylight," Emma's hand moved to cover her stomach as an act of protection but other than that she showed no sign that there was someone behind her.
"Now you will do as I say, when you go back to your little cosy home you will not tell anyone of this conversation ever, and you're going to make sure that you find something called the olympic crystal and deliver it to me," the mystery voice said in a tone that made Emma know that he would have no qualms about hurting her baby if she didn't do what he asked.
"How do I know who to give it to once I've found it if I don't know who you are?" Emma asked willing to do anything to protect her children.
"It's time we formally met I'm Hades, now go back home and remember not a word is to be spoken of this conversation," with that she knew that Hades had left and took a minute to collect herself and walked back to the flat trying to stop her hands from shaking.
