Chapter sixteen

"One more push," Whale shouted over the pregnant woman's screams.

"You're doing great," Charming assured, not even wincing as the brunette squeezed his hand tighter, though he would be sure to check for broken bones later.

With a final scream, Snow back against the bed, to be met with the wailing of her new-born a moment later.

The second time mother allowed tears to run down her face as she laughed in joy as Whale announced, "He's a boy!"

Snow was about to turn to David and then Emma, to show how happy she was, until a burst of line shot through the room, and in what could only be described as a two second mind grain, she felt all of her memories just return.

From her position leant against the wall, Emma looked at each person in the room as they all appeared to be registering some new information. She knew exactly what that light meant and she wanted to know exactly what they remembered and how it could help Regina, however, as soon as she was about to begin her questioning, a green smoke consumed one corner of the room.

"Congratulations," Zelena sneered, Whale was frozen in place with a green glow around him and she began to make her way towards him.

Emma looked to the former Queen of Hearts who seemed to be finally coming out of her memories, she expected her to do something way more powerful than she had learnt yet, but the woman didn't even raise her hands.

"She can only be defeated by light magic," she sighed.

The saviour rolled her eyes, though she was glad that they seemed to be remembering useful information.

Raising both of her hands, little orbs of pure light appeared and she aimed them straight at the witch, "stay away from my brother."

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Zelena laughed, causing the blonde to hesitate, "if you care for your child, you would put your hands down."

"You can't hurt Tamsin," Emma replied instantly.

"I believe you have more than one child, saviour," Zelena laughed manically, and a moment later a brunette teenager appeared in front of her.

Henry's eyes darted around the room as he took in his surroundings.

Whale was frozen in place holding a new born, Charming was clutching the hilt of the sword that he had hung at his side but seemed aware that it wouldn't truly help. Gold and Cora had defensive stances but at the same time seemed aware that they would be completely unhelpful.

Emma was the only person who was taking any kind of offensive, but as her father's sword came flying out of his scabbard, despite his physical efforts to halt the magic, and lined up with his throat, Emma dropped her hand in defeat.

"It's truly a shame that you have been so ill-prepared for all of this, isn't it, saviour?" Zelena glowered, "my little sister could have given you better tutelage and you might have actually been able to protect your son. Then again, she did have to take rather drastic measures to protect my dear niece."

Emma swallowed hard against her anger, her fists shook violently, she seriously wanted to kill this witch, but she very much doubted that she would be able to do anything faster than the red head could flick her wrist and slit Henry's throat.

"What do you want?" the blonde asked through gritted teeth.

"It's simple, you must wear this," Zelena waved her hand and a black band appeared floating in the air in front of the saviour.

Emma instantly knew that it would render her incapable of performing magic, she also knew that she was the only person in Storybrooke who would currently be able to defeat the Wicked Witch and protect her brother. However, as a small drop of blood splashed upon the blade and Henry whimpered in pain, the blonde didn't hesitate in grabbing the band and slipping it onto her arm.

Zelena smiled broadly and walked over to Whale, going for the child in his arms.

"Don't touch him!" Charming shouted, but was instantly paused by a light shimmer of green.

"As charming as your persistence is, you should really face that I win," with that, the witch grabbed the new-born and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

Charming and Whale were instantly set free, but neither of them felt any better for it.

The sword fell loudly to the floor and Henry ran into his mother's arms, eventually he pulled back and Emma looked between her clearly devastated parents.

She swallowed hard and began to say, "I'm sor…" only to be cut off by her mother.

"This isn't your fault Emma," Snow replied as tears ran down her face.

The blonde nodded solemnly and turned to the two magic experts behind her, "how do we get him back?"

"We need a light magic user, someone who uses dark magic cannot harm Zelena, they would also be unable to remove that band," Cora sighed.

The saviour allowed her head to fall into her hands in defeat, but Charming said, "we could use another opinion."

"I am not in the mood to listen to the fairies," Emma sighed.

Charming shook his head and he looked at Snow who nodded in agreement, he knew what he was about to suggest should terrify any parent, but he just knew that it would work.

"From Regina."

Emma blinked a few times, she was sure that the labour process must have sent her father insane, as much as she wanted Regina back, she thought that the priority right now would be her little brother's life.

"She was able to protect Tamsin, which must have been a form of light magic, she is clearly capable," Cora realised, her voice containing an odd edge of pride.

"Am I the only one who sees the major issue with this plan?" Emma asked, she didn't want to say the word 'coma' in the midst of this terrible situation, but she did feel like she had to remind them.

"She doesn't have a heart," Cora allowed, "but your parents made quite the astonishing discovery, True Love's are capable of sharing one heart."
