Chapter 5

"Rumple? Henry?" Belle appeared on the stairs that led to their apartment above the shop. Their yelling had gained her attention and she went to investigate what was going on. Looking between the two as they stood glaring at each other in a standoff, feeling the tension rolling off of them in waves her curiosity was beginning to kill her. "What is going on?"

Henry's eyes narrowed, the grip he had on the vials he found in his mother's vault tightening more securely. He knew that his mom was a bit ocd but what he had found in the few hours in that vault astounded him, and broke his heart. What she had written about him, when he had treated her worse than the dirt under his shoes, filled him with guilt. He knew she wouldn't approve of what he was doing but it was for her, it was because of her love that he would make things right. That he would be her savior.

"Make a deal." Henry growled.

"Deal?" Belle questioned stepping more into the room.

Rumple glowered at the boy thinking of the many ways he could eviscerate him for having the audacity to threaten him. The Dark one. The ultimate opportunist, that played the world on a string.

"There will be no deals" Rumple smiled viciously at Henry, his voice conveying nothing but calm rationality, saneness. He had moved universes, dimensions, manipulated everyone to get his happy ending and he was not giving it up for some brat with a cause. Even if said brat was his grandson.

With a determined gleam set to his eyes Henry raised his hands up, with a deep breath he threw both vials at Belles feet screaming the words "Victoria aut mors!"

Rumple tried to grab the objects with his magic on instinct, but for once in the centuries since he has been alive he wasn't fast enough. The vials crash in a thousand shards at his Belles feet.

A pungent dark violet smoke rose from the broken vials at Belles feet twisting and expanding like a hungry anaconda engulfing her completely. A warmth that she hadn't known been missing filled the bookworms chest. Her heart and head were filled with memories of a life she had forgotten, a life that had been stolen. Replaced with a stranger instead of her true love.

"Ruby" Belle gasped out, her eyes rolling in her head as she collapsed.

With a snarl Rumpelstiltskin came full force towards the boy, completely unhinged in his rage the imps hand reached for the boy's heart. Murderous intent clearly written across his features. A bright white light of pure energy freezing him millimeters from capturing what he desired most in that moment.

"Don't you fucking dare touch my son, you son of a bitch." A cool voice growled from the shops doorway. Henry's head whipped around at the sound of Emma's voice. He wondered how she knew he was here. A million questions and thoughts running through his head at the implications of her being here.

Keeping her eye on Mr. Gold, Emma moved to an unconscious Belle to check her vitals. "Henry go home." The blond commanded as she pulled out her talkie. She didn't understand what happened but she did know that Belle was unconscious, Gold was going to de heart her son, and Henry was here in his shop after she had explicitly told him to stay away from his paternal grandfather for a few days at least while she continued to be sheriff and look for Regina.

Henry stood where he was defiantly. He knew he was in big trouble but he didn't care. What he had done was right. He knew his mother would have been proud of him for sticking to what was right. He was her little prince, the son of the Evil Queen and the Savior, it was his destiny to save his mom. His grandparents weren't doing anything about finding her, neither was Emma so it was up to him. Watching as Emma called for an ambulance for Belle and arrested Mr. Gold with her new magic resistant cuffs, Henry didn't move an inch.

"I said to go home Henry." Emma raised her voice when she had finally noticed that the boy was still standing in the shop.

"How did you stop Gold?" Henry demanded, not caring in the slightest if he sounded petulant or bratty.

"That is none of your business now get you butt home, and to your room. You are grounded" Emma growled as she dragged a cackling Gold out of the shop and into her squad car.

Glowering with a pout Henry thought about his options. Turning on his heel he exited the shop and headed home to the mansion. It was his house now and everything he needed to find his mom was there. Technically Emma can't punish him for listening, he is going home and to his room where his computer is. The savior wasn't the only member of their family that was good at finding people. He had found her after all.

Jane entered the hospital room after a long chat with the Doctor. Outside of the door way she paused to take in the sight of her family surrounding the bed of a stranger. All of her cop instincts were screaming that something fishy was going on, but until anything surfaced then what they already know Jane was going to be the rock her family needed. Entering the room as quietly as possible she went to stand next to Maura.

"What did Arthur say?" Maura asked gently.

"Who?" Jane was confused for a moment before it clicked in her mind, "Oh right, well no drugs were found in her system. No signs of assault or recent abuse"

"Recent?" Maura worried.

"He will release the x-rays they took to you once he gets them sent to the lab in Boston. He thinks she might be a victim of the terrorist group Home Office. He thought you might get a better understanding after looking at the results of the tests he had done."

"I don't doctor live people Jane you know that."

"Hey you doctor me just fine, I get a physical exam from you every night" Jane flirted with her wife earning a smack on the stomach for her cheek. Taking in the vigil position of her children as well as the longing look in Maura's eyes, the brunette sighed in resignation.

"We are taking her home aren't we," She whined.

"We can't just leave her Jane, at least until we find her family."

"Maur, she looks to be a grown woman, not a child, we cannot just take her in like a stray puppy."

"Please Jane."

"Maura no, don't give me that look, Maur." Jane pleaded for her wife to see reason, but she was resigned to the fact that once again she was going to let her have her way.

"Fine, but you're the one who is telling ma."

Maura squealed wrapping her arms around her detective in happiness. The volume of her joy disturbing both Kyle and Tanya to look over at the two with quirked brows and questioning eyes.

Shaking her head at the kids with a roll of her eyes, Jane hugged Maura tight to her with a smile. Tanya and Kyle turned back to watching the sleeping woman. Tanya and Kyle took a hand each, ignoring the other, they pondered what the future would bring. Like their mother, they wanted to save her. Though for Tanya, there was something about the woman. She wanted to be more then a protector, she felt an instant attraction to Emma. From the moment her heart pinched at the thought of her lying dead in the middle of an abandoned highway because of her brothers reckless driving, to the moment she opened her big doe eyes. Bringing the hand she held up to her lips she placed a light kiss against the relaxed knuckles of the slumbering woman. Feeling all the world like princess charming in the disney fairy tale snow white.
