"We can't just ignore this!" Snow snapped at her husband a week after the incident in the woods.

"I'm not ignoring it Snow I'm just not bringing it up every time Emma's in the room," James said

"So the fact our daughter's become withdrawn doesn't worry you?" Snow demanded

"It worries me but Emma's strong she can take care of herself."

"James! She needs to get out of the palace! At least take her with you to check up on him" Snow begged James sighed

"Fine" so half an hour later James and Emma where walking through the mines that held Rumplestilskin.

"Come to visit?" Rumplestilskin called from his cell

"Had to make sure you where still here." James answered

"Not to be rude Prince Charming but I wasn't talking to you." The imp sneered

"I was talking to Emma." Emma paled

"I know what I want dearie." He said James turned to Emma

"What does he mean Emma?" He asked her

"What's your price?" Emma asked ignoring her father

"Nothing big… I could easily get it from Daddy dearest here but he's to smart to make deals with me." Rumplestilskin said

"The price Gold!" Emma snapped

"Just keep in mind dearie I gave it to you I can take it away just as easily." Emma looked frightened

"Emma what did you do?" James asked

"She owes me a favor, a favor for saving you." Rumplestilskin cackled

"Emma?" James said turning to his daughter

"I'm so sorry" Emma cried

"I made some deals in Storybrooke he never collected and Mom needed you they were going to take Henry's childhood from him, I know it's selfish but they needed you… I needed you Daddy." Emma cried

"Women, so emotional huh Charming?" Rumplestilskin said

"What's your price?" Emma asked the imp

"My freedom"

"No way!" James cried

"She has no choice a deals a deal."

"Emma, you can't do this!" James cried

"I'm so sorry Daddy." She said before turning to the grinning monster in his cell.

"Alright Gold, set him free."

Henry crept down the servants stairs Grace trailing behind him.

"Henry where are we going?" Grace asked

"You'll see" Henry smiled as he led her to the bottom of the steps into the gardens a picnic blanket was laid out on the ground covered with food

"Oh Henry!" Grace gasped

"I hope you like it" Henry blushed

"I love it!" Grace cried just then riders raced across the drawbridge

"They have returned! Princess Emma and King James have returned!" A guard yelled Henry bit his lip.

"Go" Grace said gently

"Your Mother needs you." Henry smiled his thanks before racing away

"What happened?" His grandmother asked as Henry arrived

"Rumplestiltskin tricked Emma, he's a free man." His grandfather replied

"Emma how could you?" Robin Hood cried

"Shut up August this is all your fault!" His mother snapped

"My fault?"

"Yes your fault! If you hadn't told Graham I hadn't told my parents yet we wouldn't have gone into the woods causing the wood incident and forcing me to go visit the creepy imp none of this would have happened!" Emma yelled

"Tell us what?" James asked

"I'm not to blame Graham is!" Robin argued

"Tell us what?" James asked again

"Me and Graham were seeing each other!" Emma cried

"What!" James cried

"Oh don't be so surprised!" Emma snapped

"Stop it!" Henry cried before racing away

"Henry!" Emma yelled following him into the woods.

Meanwhile Rumplestiltskin stood before Regina who smirked

"Family troubles? Perfect." She smiled evilly

"Now give me Belle," the man demanded

"Fine" Regina sighed snapping her fingers two guards stepped from the shadows with a shackled Belle between them. Belle fell shackles and all into his arms

"Y-you did it?" She whispered

"Yes, I had to save you." He replied using his magic to unshackle her and materializing in the hall of the Dark Castle moments later. The place remained unchanged as ever as he healed her wounds were the manacles had dug into her skin Belle stared at him.

"What?" He asked her

"You just damned all of us." Came Belle's response
