The next morning the loft was quiet with an eerie tension was lingering in the atmosphere, they all knew how much resided on today, bringing back one of their family all resided on a kiss, everyone knew that Emma and Killian were completely besotted with each other but that didn't mean it was definitely true love, at lot resided on today.

"Love are you okay?" Killian asked a pale looking Emma who was sat pushing some cereal around her bowl, her naturally pale demeanor made her resemble a ghost right now, not something any of her family were happy to see.

"Yeah you know just morning sickness, nerves and the fact that there is never any sunlight around here," she replied spooning the uneaten cereal into the bin unable to eat anymore with her stomach turning.

"It will all be over soon once we are back home, we can get you a proper doctor who can give you something to help with the morning sickness, then you and I we are going to get away, somewhere hot where there is going to be no drama and we can just relax as the two of us, and getting a tan wouldn't hurt either," Killian tried to reassure her and make her look forward to the future a little.

"Yeah I'd like that, I'd like that a lot but first we have to get there and I'm not going whilst I have morning sickness," Emma replied going over and curling up on the couch wishing that her stomach would settle. She had only been sat there when Killian came over with the bottle of ginger ale she started last night.

"Once you're feeling better we can get things back to normal okay? Just say when we are all ready to go," he said making room so he can sit behind her and rub her stomach hoping that it would make her feel better, truth be told he was just enjoying being able to be close to the woman he loves and his unborn child.

"Yeah will do, hopefully my stomach will settle soon, and if not we are doing it anyway, I want things to go back normal, well not normal, I could do without a disaster," Emma replied placing her hand over his and relaxing fully into his embrace.

It was a little over half an hour later when everyone else was starting to get restless around the loft itching to get back to their loved ones at home yet not wanting to rush the couple who had barely had anytime to rest or relax recently. The other four of the party exchanged looks and silently agreed to start to hurry the couple along.

"So are we going to get this spell started then, you know be able to get home in time to celebrate with everyone this evening," David asked indicating for Regina and Rumple to finish the spell.

"Yeah are you sure we are going to be safe from Hades we don't know what he has planned, for all we know he is planning to hurt us in some way when we leave this evening, I agree we need to get Killian back to life but are we sure that it's safe to leave, you know I don't want to lose the baby or any of you and all," Emma said trying to come up with reasons to stay, she hadn't had a chance to start looking for the olympic crystal and once they got back home she would never be able to find it. Once she finished speaking Killian and David shared a look and silently agreed to talk to Emma now about her strange behaviour.

"Emma can Killian and I talk to you upstairs for a moment, it's about the safety precautions we are going to put in place whilst leaving." David said indicating for them to follow him upstairs. It took a minute for Killian to persuade Emma to get up and for them to get upstairs. Once they were settled on the bed Killian wrapped his arms around Emma to try get across that they were only questioning her because they care, not to try be awkward.

"So your Dad and I have noticed that you have been acting strange since you went outside to have your alone time and we just wanted to talk to you about it, did something go on out there that you're not telling us about, the reason you have been acting differently and are now reluctant to leave?" Killian said rubbing Emma's arm with the curve of his hook reassuringly.

"Why would you say that? I've not been acting differently at all, I just don't want anyone to get hurt what's so wrong with that?" Emma retaliated pulling away slightly not wanting to let them know what had really gone on.

"Sweetheart you aren't the only one who can tell when people are lying, I know you well enough know when you are lying to me or not telling me the whole truth, and you aren't telling me the truth right now," David replied giving his daughter a stern Dad look that he missed out on giving her during her childhood.

"Okay fine maybe something has gone on but I can't tell you what it was else I am putting you all in danger especially the baby, I'm not willing to put it in danger, not at any cost and if that means we have to stay a few extra days I'm willing to do that," Emma said not wanting to tell the whole truth about what really happened when she had her conversation with Hades.

"Emma love we know there is something else and you aren't telling us the whole story, there is more to the story," Killian pushed her to elaborate on what she had already told them as he knew it was more important than she was making it out to be.

"You two aren't going to leave me alone until I tell you are you?" Emma asked and when they both shook their heads she knew she had to tell them now, "So when I went outside to think just as I was about to come in I heard a voice and it told me not to react so I didn't, but I soon figured out it was Hades. He told me I couldn't tell you else he would not only hurt the baby but all of you."

As she took a breath to pause and try get her emotions in check, the fact that she could lose those whom she loved most whilst trying to save one of them was tearing her apart more than she cared to admit. This conversation was harder than she ever imagined. Also the faces of her father and boyfriend were telling her that they knew this situation was serious and them knowing could impose more danger than they thought however this way there were more pairs of eyes on the lookout.

"During our conversation he told me that he needed me to find the Olympic crystal, I don't know what he is planning to do with it but it isn't something good and we have no way to defeat him so I need to find that crystal. There is also the fact that I have no clue if it's in the underworld or not so I can't leave until I've looked at least but this place is vast and I can't exactly have Regina do a location spell on it." Emma finished rushing her words a little at the end to get them out before she got too teary. Once she finished speaking she buried her face in Killian's chest hoping to hid her emotions from them both.

"So we go out in pairs now and search as much as we can and if we can't find it we go home as planned and do a more thorough search there, Emma we need to get home now before anything bad can happen down here." David said with Killian nodding in agreement rubbing his girlfriend's arm comforting her.

"But you guys aren't supposed to know about it, wouldn't it be too obvious if we all go out searching?" Emma questioned, she didn't want to put anyone else in danger just to find this crystal, the point was she was trying to keep them safe this plan seemed to defeat the object.

"It will be fine Em, you two can go together and pretend you are out on a walk to spend some quality time together, I'll go with Rumple who will be able to use magic to keep me safe if it's needed and then Regina with Henry who can do the same to keep him safe, it will work trust me," David explained. It took many more minutes of both the boys talking and pleading with Emma before she finally relented and agreed to the plan. Whilst she got dressed she sent both the boys, much to Killian's disappointment, downstairs to explain the plan to everyone else and get ready to leave.

They were all to go out and search five locations to cover most of the town as efficiently as possible then reconvene back at the loft around midday ready to return home, hopefully.

When midday rolled around all three pairs were back at the loft unfortunately empty handed, it was decided that they were still going to go back home much to Emma's worry as they figured they could always come back if it was desperately needed to find this crystal. Now all they had to do was reunite Killian's heart with him and hope that he and Emma were true loves.

When the spell was ready and Killian's heart had been submerged for the required amount of time all that was left to do was to place it back into his chest. Killian and Emma were spending a moment alone to say an unofficial goodbye incase it didn't work, they had already faced so much together and this was one thing that they never thought they would have to do for many years to come.

"I'll see you soon love, I have faith in us this is going to work and we will be relaxing at home in no time," Killian reassured Emma giving her what they both hoped wouldn't be their final hug.

"Yeah hopefully, if this doesn't work know that I love you Killian and nothing could ever change that, it's you and me together, a team always," Emma replied. They separated with a short but passionate kiss and walked into the living room area.

"Okay so Regina is going to return Killian's heart to him then he will go into a comatose state where he won't be able to sense anything from the outside world and time will be frozen for his body. Emma will then wake him with a kiss and we can journey home," Gold explained gesturing for Killian to go sit on the sofa so he wouldn't fall to the ground and injure himself. Emma sat herself next to him and grabbed his hand not sure if she was reassuring him or her more.

Regina pulled the heart out of spell and looked around for nods of confirmation from everyone else before she walked up to Killian pushed his heart back where it belongs. As soon as her hand was out of his chest he slumped and all of his weight was Emma no longer able to do anything other than lay there. Emma looked down at her boyfriend and couldn't help but feel her heart break a little. This was all too real, after already seeing him die once seeing him like this again crushed her a little. With tears in her eyes and gracing her cheeks she leaned forward and slowly pressed a kiss to his awaiting lips.

A pulse on energy swept over the underworld as the magic of true love changed things for the better for all the residents. It meant that changes untold to anyone would alter the future forever however, this is also alerted Hades that something was going on and he knew it had something to do with the heroes that were currently staying in his town.

Sorry for the late update thought I would have loads of time to write over summer but I've ended up busier than I normally am with work and catching up with friends of family. I'll try to get another chapter written this week but then I'm going to Florida for two weeks so I'll be able to write a little but there won't be any updates until I get back. Hope you've enjoyed this chapter and please review thank you xx
