Chapter 5
In the Enchanted Forest Neal, Aurora, Mulan and Phillip have left the home of the Fairies and are travelling again.
"So, Neal, where are you taking us?" asks Mulan.
"Look"
Then they come to the tip of a ridge looking over a dark Castle, that is when Neal says "Welcome to the familial home"
"Rumplestiltskin's Castle, are you crazy, there could be traps in there?"
"I know that, but I also know that a way to get back to Emma and Henry will be in there, now come on"
They all walk down towards the castle and minutes later they walk into the main room, its abandoned and in complete disarray, there is paper all over the floor, chairs have been toppled over and shelved are broken.
"Doesn't look like anyone's been here in years" says Aurora.
Neal then goes over to a stand where there is a Chalice, he then notices that it is full of water, "No" he replies, "There is someone here".
Mulan, Phillip and Neal then prepare to fight while Aurora steps back a little, then seconds later an arrow hits the pillar millimetres away from Neal's head, causing him to turn around a see a man in a green hood standing on window ledge.
"What the hell man, that could've hit me?"
"I do apologise, but you are the ones trespassing".
"It is you that trespasses, this Castle belongs to the Dark One"
"He hasn't been seen since the curse hit" answers the man as he jumps off of the ledge.
"What's your name?" asks Neal.
"What's yours?"
"I'm Neal, but in this land I'm known as Baelfire, I'm Rumplestiltskin's son"
"Truly"
"Yes, now please, do me the courtesy of telling me your name"
"I am Robin, Robin Hood"
Meanwhile in Neverland Snow comes out from behind a bush wiping her mouth.
"Are you feeling ok Snow?"
"Just a little sick, I'll be ok"
"You sure?"
"Yes"
"Okay, come on, we'd better catch up with the others"
A few minutes later, they have the other members of their group in their sight but are still behind them a little.
"Are you sure you're ok Snow?"
"Yes, I'm fine. Although ... I do feel a bit different"
"Different how?"
"Like when I ...
"Like when you were ... what?"
"Like when I was pregnant with Emma"
"Are you ... pregnant?"
"I don't know, I guess I could be, I haven't had my period this month"
"We gotta make sure"
"And how are we gonna do that in Neverland?"
"I don't know, maybe we could get Regina to do a spell or something"
"Absolutely not, if I am pregnant I don't want to tell anyone just yet, especially her"
"What about Emma?"
"I might just voice it with her, see how she feels about it"
"Do you want me to help?"
"No, thank you, this is something between me and her"
Snow walks a little faster to catch up with Emma and her husband follows her.
