After the party was over, Emma invited her parents over for hot cocoa with cinnamon. Emma was sitting and holding Johanna and her mother was holding Liam next to her. David had Neal and was standing and bouncing him like a pro.
"I'm sure one day I'll get the parent bounce down." Emma said, laughing and watching her father.
"Well, we'll learn along with you," Snow said, "We never got to do this stuff with you." Snow looked down at Liam sad. "I'm just glad you got a second chance at this, too."
"Me, too." Emma said, "I love Henry, and am grateful that Regina gave him a good home, but I wish I could have been there for these moments."
Just then Liam grunted with a nasty sound coming from his diaper. Snow laughed as she looked at Emma.
"Someone likes to poop in a clean diaper." Snow said.
"Looks like it, "Emma said chuckling.
Emma stood up and handed Johanna to Killian as she headed to grab Liam, then froze. She looked down at her shoes to see blood on them. Emma turned around and saw a pool of blood where she had been sitting and her mother staring at it in horror then to her.
"Emma, I think we should take you to the hospital." David said.
Emma began to get light headed as she moved to sit back down slowly.
"I think that would be a good idea." Emma said.
"I'll call Belle and Ruby, see if they can watch the twins." Snow said, "David?" She said turning to David, "Can you watch Neal? There is some pumped milk at the loft."
"Sure, you and Killian drive her." David said, "Call me and let me know what's going on."
Emma sat on a towel on the couch as they waited for Ruby and Belle to get there. The longer they waited, the more Emma felt lightheaded.
"Mom, I need to go now." Emma said, slightly slurring her words.
"I'll take you," Killian said, "I've seen you drive that moving carriage many times, I'll just go a little slower so we don't die."
"Ok," Snow said, without hesitation, "When they get here I'll meet you there."
Emma was probably more scared of dying on the way to the hospital than she was about bleeding to death at this point. When they finally got to the hospital, Emma began to feel tired.
"Emma," Killian said, nudging her as he tried to help her out of the car, "Stay with me, love."
"You got it." Emma said, her eyes fluttering open and closed.
"We need help!" Killian yelled. Everything went black.
Emma woke up in the hospital to see Killian on the bed next to hers and her mother resting her head on the bed on the other side of her. Snow was holding Emma's hand as she slept. Emma squeezed her mother's hand to wake her up.
"Emma?" Snow said groggily as she took in a breath, "How are you feeling?" She said.
"Yeah, tired, but good." Emma said rubbing her eyes, "How long was I out this time?"
"Around 8 hours." Snow said, a sadness in her eyes.
"Are you ok?" Emma asked Snow.
"I-" Snow started, but then Killian woke up.
"Emma." Killian said, running to her side, "I'm sorry, love, I tried."
"What are you talking about?" Emma said, looking from Killian to Snow.
"Liam was taken." Snow said quietly and sadly, "It seems Ursula wasn't the only person that knew about the babies nor the first who wanted them for something."
"What?!" Emma shouted, sitting up.
"Emma wait," Snow said trying to keep Emma sitting.
"For what? Some psycho to do something to my child while I sit here doing nothing?" Emma said pushing her mother aside and beginning to pull her IVs out, "I'm the Savior, what good am I if I can't even save my own child."
"She jumped through a portal." Snow said, "We haven't found a way to follow her yet, but we're looking." Snow went back to trying and getting Emma to stay down, "I promise we will find him. I know more than anyone how you're feeling right now, but we need to find a way first."
Emma relaxed against her mother's hands and laid back down, tears spilling over. Then her thoughts went to Johanna.
"Where's my daughter?" Emma said, frantic.
"In the nursery here," Killian said, "We had her brought here after Ruby was attacked. Regina put a protection spell on the hospital."
"Can I see her?" Emma said sobbing.
"I'll go get her." Snow said, tears running down her face as she walked out the door.
Killian walked over to Emma resting her face in his hands as he kissed her gently.
"I'm so sorry I couldn't keep our family safe." Killian said, "I promised I wouldn't let anyone hurt us and I failed you."
"No, don't say that," Emma said, "This wasn't your fault." Emma ran her hands through his hair, "No matter what happens, don't ever think this is your fault." Emma pulled Killian's head towards her and kissed his forehead.
Snow walked in a few minutes later with Johanna asleep in her arms. She gently laid her in Emma's arms. How could Emma be so happy and so sad at the same time. She was happy that this evil person hadn't gotten both of her children, but the ache in her heart for her son was even bigger than that.
"We're going to get your brother back." Emma said crying as she looked at Johanna and rocked her. Snow and Killian watched painfully as Emma rocked her daughter and cried.
"I'll leave so you two can have some time." Snow said, grabbing her purse and walking towards the door.
"Thank you," Emma said to her mother, causing Snow to pause and look back at Emma. "I'm glad I had someone here who knows how this feels with me when I found out."
"I know." Snow said, "We'll get him back, Emma. We'll find a way. I won't stop looking for a way."
Emma watched as her mother left the room. Looking down at her daughter, her hurt grew. So innocent, sweet, and the feminine mirror image of her brother, too. Killian saw the hurt in her eyes and kissed her forehead. Emma sucked in a shaky breath and leaned down to kiss Johanna on the head.
"I'll find our son." Killian said, "If it's the last thing I do, I'll find our son."
