Emma stepped out onto the street taking a couple of breaths trying to steady her racing heart. It took a couple of minutes for her mind to catch up with everything that had went on in the last hour or so. She wasn't sure it was a good idea to trust Mr gold but at the end of the day he did owe them a great deal. A wave of nausea washed over her within minutes causing her to sway slightly on the spot.

Emma stared off into the distance lost in her thoughts instantly remembering the events of Camelot so vividly. Although a dark cloud had been hanging over them it still felt like at the time they had all grown closer in a way. Killian had been alive and by her side fighting to make sure the darkness didn't win no matter what. Even if it was a lie in the end and she had used her dark powers to create a second dark one the one thing he hated with all his might.

She knew deep in her heart that there would be a price to pay for them both becoming the dark one but still she went ahead not quite ready to loose another person in her life. It may have been for selfish reasons like Killian had stated while stood in the cabin of the Jolly Roger on their supposed date.

The words that he had spoke had quite literally ripped her heart in two it urged her to continue with the plan that she formed in her head. Emma gasped at the feel of a hand on her arm at the smallest of touches and quickly snapped out of her thoughts. She turned her head to the side to see the worried face of Mary Margaret.

"Hey Emma what's going on?". Emma plastered a fake smile on her face within minutes trying to make out everything was actually okay. "Please we only want to help". It was completely pointless lying or trying to avoid the question because it would catch up to her in the end. Plus she was done with all the secrecy and trying to battling things on her own those days were in the past now.

"Okay but you have to promise not to overreact". Mary Margaret nodded a small reassuring smile crossing her face taking a step forward like it was a secret. "There's a way to save Killian and bring him back here". Emma prepared herself quickly for her mother reaction on the things that she was planning and the repercussions that would be surely named.

"How?" She blinked quite confused leaning forward and bowing her head staring into her daughters eyes for answers.

"By going to the underworld with the help of Gold". Emma took a step back putting some distance between them holding her breath.

"On your own, you can't". She shook her heard against the idea of her doing this alone with out the support of the family and friends. It reminded her of the years they had missed so many milestones and lost love.

"Mom I can't drag you down again especially after everything with the dark one". Emma let her eyes fall to the pavement in shame of the past few weeks of her being possessed by dark magic.

"We want to help please". Mary Margaret pleaded reaching out her hand and placing it on her arm. "Why don't we just go back to the loft and discuss this". Emma sighed deeply knowing it was pointless argument that she wasn't going to win without an discussion.

"Fine". She muttered nodding her head and meeting her eyes for a couple of seconds. Mary Margaret smiled widely stepping forward and slinging her arm around her waist in a sideways hug leading her slowly down the side walk. Emma leaned into her touch enjoying the comfort for the first time in awhile. She walked beside her letting her lead the way home.

It wasn't long until they were stopping in front of the building and pulling the door open and making their way inside. They entered the building and walked up the stairs to the front door finding it already open. David was sat on the sofa with baby Neal in his lap waving a rattle in front of his reaching hands. He turned his head glancing in their direction as they entered the room.

"Hey". Mary Margaret smiled widely at the sight of her son and rushed over quickly scooping him up into her arms. Emma pulled out one of the stools in front of the island and perched herself on top watching the scene sadly. David caught his wife's eye and they shared a silent conversation for a couple of minutes.

The thought of making a quick get away crossed her mind to avoid the topic of conversation that was bound to be brought up in the next few minutes. Emma fixed her eyes on a point in the room not wanting to meet her parents eyes just yet. It felt a lot like she was a child or a teen about to be scolded for something that had happened.

"Is everything okay?" David inquired turning his head and looking in her direction. There room fell into silence Emma not willing to speak up and voice what she was actually planning.

"Well?" He urged looking between the two woman wanting some kind of answers.

"Emma is planning on going to the Underworld alone". Snow spoke up gently bouncing baby Neal in her arms.

"Do you think that's wise?" David frowned standing from the sofa and crossing his arms over his chest.

"I figured it was something I have to do alone after everything I can't drag you away from this". Emma motioned with her hands to Baby Neal who was completely unaware and more interested in his rattle.

"We won't let you face this alone". David nodded in agreement placing a hand on his sons back.

"I don't know how long it will take it could be weeks, months even you'll miss more time with Neal". Emma argued tears filling in her eyes from the emotions bubbling inside of her.

"We will find a way we always do please". At that moment Henry wandered through the door followed by Regina, Robin and a crying baby.

"Hey mom, grams and gramp". Henry spoke cheerily waving his hand in the air and slumping onto the sofa.

"Are we missing something?" Regina raised a eyebrow in question towards The Charmings. Snow walked to a distressed Robin and gently offered to take the upset baby to help calm her down after passing Neal off to David.

"It's not like it's a secret anymore you might as well know I'm going to the underworld to rescue Killian". Regina sighed deeply resisting the urge to shake her head in disagreement.

"I found out that the sacrifice he made was pointless Gold found a way to gain all the powers of the dark one". Emma felt the anger building inside of her at the events of that night. She clenched her fists trying to control the Magic threatening to come to the surface.

"I see it isn't a place I recommend but that's just me". Regina shook her head glancing towards Henry who was eagerly watching and listening to the conversation.

"I have to do this I owe it to him". Emma half whispered dropping her eyes to the ground.

"Then we'll come too". Snow spoke up confidently looking round the room for support.

"If your going I want to come too". Henry chirped up shooting a look at Emma to back him up on the matter.

"This isn't a game it's dangerous". Regina spat stepping closer to Robin for support or some form of comfort it was unclear.

"I know but I wanna help". Henry pleaded shuffling to the edge of the sofa.

"So are we all going? Because arrangements will have to be made for the children". Snow carefully handed the now sleeping baby back to Robin. Regina let her eyes roam around the room waiting patiently for a answer.

"I'll see if Belle can take care of the children while we're away". Snow padded across the room towards the kitchen counter and scooped up her phone. Emma was truly speechless at the fact the situation was quickly becoming out her hands, the room was starting to spin.

She clenched her fists and sprang up from the stool bolting in the direction of the stairs needing some space. By the time she reached her old room the sobs were racking her body, wrapping her arms around herself she slumped onto the bed. She took deep breaths hiccuping loudly through her sobs trying not to choke on the air.

"I wouldn't recommend going to the underworld especially from what I've heard". Emma looked up to see Regina stood at the top of the stairs a faint smile crossing her lips.

"Is that suppose to be comforting?" She wiped the sleeve of her top across her eyes hiccuping.

"I'm not going to sugar coat it the place isn't exactly a must go, your not quite sure who you'll meet from your past". Regina crossed the small space and took a seat beside the saviour on the bed.

"I know but I still have to try it wasn't right the way his sacrifice was dismissed". Regina nodded folding her arms in her lap and sitting up straight staring ahead.

"Do you think this will give him redemption?" She turned her head glancing at the saviour.

"I have to try I owe it to him especially after everything and I just can't ask them to come not when I don't know how things are going to turn out". Emma sighed ringing her hands together staring down at the floor.

"I don't think you have a say in the matter so I think you will have to deal with it". She nodded biting her lip clenching and unclenching her fists feeling the buzz of her magic.

"So your okay with Henry coming?" Regina sucked in a deep breath shaking her head and getting to her feet from the bed.

"I'm not happy about it". Regina wandered towards the stairs reaching out and taking the banister."I will however do everything in my power to protect him". Regina disappeared down the stairs gracefully. Emma knew it was a loosing battle there was nothing she could do about it, completely out of her power.
