Again thank you so much for the review, follows and favourites. Hope you like this next bit.

on another note how sweet was that moment on the stairs! I hope there will be more of that.. If cant believe there is only one more left :'(

It felt like they had been at the hospital for A lot longer than they actually had. All of them waiting for any news regarding the stranger who had arrived in town.

This was what most of them were thinking about anyway. Except David, of course he was worried about the outcome. But something was bugging him, something Gold had said earlier on in the evening.

Snow was beside him. "Do you know what Gold was talking about.. About someone owing him a favor?"

"No, I can't imagine someone in this room willing to make a deal with Gold. That is unless..."

"Unless what Snow?"

"They didn't understand who they were making a deal with."

"Well that could be any of us if it was before the curse broke. But Why do I get the feeling I am not going to like the answer when I find out."

"You think it's Emma?"

"Of course I think it's Emma. She would do anything for anyone else. Even make a deal with him. I'm going to find her. Maybe I am wrong."

David found Emma coming out of Hook's room

"Is he saying much?" Catching Emma by surprised

"No, he being his usual unhelpful self."

"You look tired, how about we go and get a coffee?"

"Actually I was thinking about going outside to get some fresh air."

"Great ill come with you." David wasn't giving her a chance to get away from talking.

Once they were outside Emma immediately felt better the gentle breeze cool enough to wake her up without being freezing cold.

"What is on your mind David?"

"Is it that obvious?"

"I think I am learning your's and Mary Margaret's traits"

"Well as you brought it up there was something I wanted to ask you about. The favor that someone owes Gold, you know who that is?"

David could feel it in his gut that it was Emma, but was hoping that he was wrong that she would say that she didn't know anything about it. Please don't let it be her. He thought

"Ah that, yes it me."

"Emma" he squeezed his eyes shut "how could you be so stupid?" It was the first time David was actually angry with her, not because he was mad that she had made the deal, it was because he knew the consequences of making a deal with Rumplestiltskin.

"Hey, it's not like I knew it was him I was making a deal with.. I had to, to help Ashely and her baby."

"Ashely?"

"Oh right err Cinderella... Apparently. Gold had made a deal to..."

..."To take the baby. Some things never change. Tell me exactly what was said with Gold, there maybe a way to get you out of it."

"The deal was that if he left Ashely and the baby alone.. I would owe him a favor. I really didn't think much of it at the time... But even if I knew who he was I would have stilled helped Ashley keep her baby."

"I know you would Emma, and it's wonderful that you want to help people. But you are the last person I would ever want to make a deal with Rumplestiltskin, promise me that before you ever go to him again you will talk to your mother and me.

"David I really don't think that."

David grabbed her shoulders and pulled her to face him "No Emma, you have to promise me that."

"Gee ok I promise. Don't you think that you are worrying a little too much about this right now."

"Emma" his tone softer "I will always worry about you. I am proud of you though, the lengths you go to, to save someone you barely know."

Emma started to feel the cold, or at least that is what she was telling herself. It definitely wasn't because she felt goosebumps at what David had told her.. Definitely not.. But that was the first time someone had ever told her that they were proud of her..

"We better go back your mother will be worried where we are."

The walked silently back to the hospital each thinking their own thoughts about what was said outside. If Emma had been walking with Mary Margaret, her mom wouldn't have stopped talking. In that moment Emma noticed that her and David were very similar and it was nice knowing where she got some of her traits from even if she hasn't grown up with them.
