"Mom come on It's time to cut the cake" Henry motioned over to his mother.

Emma was sat at a long table that could seat at least 13 people. It had a white table cloth draped over it, with pale violet flower arrangements .In each spot there was a small paper name placements. Each one had familiar names on; on her right were her mother and then her father. She could see Henrys name two places down from her on her left and had assumed that further down the table would be Regina, Robin and Roland. However there was not a name placed beside her. Emma looked around in confusion wondering who the seat belonged too. She also couldn't make out what the rest of the name placements to the left of her said, so that wasn't much help. She continued to look around and saw all of her friends and family heading in the same direction. However she noticed that everyone was wearing either suits or fancy dresses. She was puzzled at the thought of where she could be. Emma then looked down to see she was also dressed rather fancy. She had on a long white gown. It was sleeveless and had a high neckline. Emma assumed it was made of a sheer fabric; it was embroidered with small pale blue flowers at the top that gradually became less as it went down and it gathered just above the waste. She was at a wedding, but not just any wedding, her wedding. Emma got up and began to follow everyone in the direction they were going. She could see Henry stood next to who she assumed was her husband, but she was unable to get a glimpse of his face as people were stood in the was. Henry was motioning her to hurry up. She was just about to reach the table and see the face of her husband to be when a bright light began to fill the room and she felt a strange pain in her left arm. The last thing she saw was Henry waving at her and smiling.

Emma woke up to find she was lying on her left arm. She looked over to see Neal lying on his back; lifting himself up.

"We moved again, didn't we?" Emma asked, knowing what the answer was by the lack of feeling she had in her arm.

"Yep. And just when I thought we would get some sleep." Neal replied now on his feet. "Come on lets hope we're in a time where my father feels generous."

Emma and Neal began to make their way towards Rumpelstiltskin's castle in hope he would help them find a way back to their son, before time shifted again. The walk was long and they spent most of the time in silence. It wasn't that neither had anything to say; it was that they just didn't have the words. After everything that had happened between them, saying sorry didn't cut it. It wasn't that Emma was mad a Neal, she was just frustrated; at what had happened before they nearly got swept up into the curse and the fact that she was still unknowingly travelling through different times with no hope of return to a place she thought, maybe, she could call home. Emma's mind started to wonder off; thinking about times her and Henry spent together in New York and how she wished more than anything to be back there with him. But in the back of her mind she couldn't stop thinking about what she saw. The image of her future self, and what Neal. "She looks happy" She really did. Emma wasn't an unhappy person, just one who, in her short 30 years, has been through a lot. With a past like hers, she never thought a happy future was possible. Emma wondered how she got there, or will get there. But more than anything, she wondered who was making her that happy, who was she talking to? Emma came to realise that Neal had come to a halt.

"There it is the dark One's castle" He said motioning to the rather large castle in the distance.

"Little more imposing than a pawn shop." She said turning her head to face Neal "So what do we do now? Open the door and introduce ourselves. Hey were from the future" she unconvincingly mocked.

"Yeah" Neal laughed "He would turn us into snails on the spot."

"I prefer mice" A voice came from behind them. "But what ever you wish" Emma and Neal turned around quickly to see Rumpelstiltskin, in all his crocodile skinned glory. Neal sighed; he had hoped he would never see this man again. Emma's face filled with shock, and a small amount of excitement. Neal was right he was nothing like Mr Gold. Emma thought this was glorious. Neal however did not have the same feelings towards the, once good man, in front of him. Rumple lifted his hand as if to cast a spell. Neal could tell that this would not end well for them if they did not speak up now.

"Hey hey wait" Neal pleaded. "We need your help" Rumple pulled his hands back to words himself.

"And why would I help you" He squeaked. Neal didn't have an answered. He didn't know what he could say that would make his father believe them and help them. Just then Emma spoke up.

"Because if you don't you'll never see your son again." Rumple was taken back by Emma's comment. His face began to fill with confusion.

"What do you know of my son?" He questioned pointing to Emma.

"His name is Baelfire, you are planning to intact a curse in hopes of reuniting with him" Emma quickly responded. Neal looked between her and his father hoping this would work. However before Emma could say anymore, rumple interjected.

"Well who told you that?" He stepped back wiggling his fingers "What are you some kind of which"

"No I'm not a witch. I'm the one who breaks the curse so that you can find him" Emma replied shooting a quick glance at Neal. Rumple noticed but his attention was straight back on Emma. "I'm the product of true love"

"Well that's speculation" Rumple said unconvincingly; looking Emma up and down. "Part of my plans, but I haven't done it."

"You will and you will succeed." Emma concluded. Neal noticed the change in his fathers face. It seemed to soften, he know it was working; he believed them. But that didn't stop him questioning them further.

"But if that true" He started. "Then that means" Before he had time to finish his sentence Neal spoke.

"We're from the future" Rumple quickly turned his head to face Neal.

"But time travel hasn't been done dearie" He informed, waving his hands around.

"Yeah well someone cracked that code" Emma said in a defeated tone. "But we do need your help"

"Help?" Rumpled asked the let out an exaggerated giggle. "You need my help" A smile growing on his face; he stepped closer to Emma "Then answer me one question: do I find my son?" Neal tensed up. He could tell Emma was beginning to feel uncomfortable by her growing silence. The smile on his fathers face disappeared.

"Answer me!" Rumple demanded.

"Yes, you find him" Neal stepped forward trying to worn the dark one away from Emma. He stood back; his smile returned.

"Bae" He said softly while looking at Neal. An ache formed in Neal chest every time his father said his name. It reminded him of days before the dark one. But seeing him now made it worst. To see that his father, who was so far along in to the dark one curse, to see this creature that didn't resemble the man he used to know one bit. But when he said his name, he became his father again. He could see how badly he missed him and how hard he had tried to get him back. Neal wished more than anything that he could tell him who he was, but knew it could jeopardise getting back. He just nodded his head in response.

"I find Bae? How?" Rumple asked looking back at Emma. She looked to Neal as if to ask should she tell him. "Wait, don't tell me" He said shaking his hands before either could reply. "If I succeed I don't want anything in my head that might through it off"

"Good choice now will you help us get back?" Neal interrupted. Rumple looked back at him. He looked him up and down with a confused look on his face and if he was trying to figure out where he knew him from.

"Do I know you?" he asked looking down on him.

"No." Neal lied.

Rumple lead Emma and Neal to his castle. He had agreed to help them, but of course at a cost. Not that he had told them that yet. As they walked through the doors to the main room of rumples castle Emma thought that she should thank him.

"Thank you Mr gol- Rumpelstiltskin for believing us. I know that time travel is hard to swallow" She turned to Neal, who had a confused look on his face.

"What are you doing?" he whispered so only she could hear.

"I don't know, trying to be nice" She murmured back.

"What are you two muttering on about" Rumple asked turning his attention to the couple.

"Err nothing, just-" Neal began but was cut off by the sound of someone entering the room behind him.

"Oh Rumpelstiltskin you're back." A young woman in a blue dress spoke. Emma turned to see who it was. Her face filled with the biggest smile. She looked over at Neal too see his reaction to the women who was soon to become his step mother. His smile was just as big as hers. "Do you, eh, need anything?" Belle asked. But before rumple could answer Emma spoke.

"Belle." She said in awe of the woman.

"Sorry do, do we know each other?" Belle asked; confused by the young blonde. Emma automatically realised her error.

"Oh sorry no" She looked down "Mr- rumple- the dark one, erm told me about you" Rumple came up behind Emma. Neal tensed up hoping this hasn't screwed up there plan.

"Did he?" Belle said with a smile.

"No" Rumple interjected quickly; looking at Emma in disgust. He then turned back to Belle and started to shove her away. "Go away and er read a book or whatever it is you like to do. Come back and clean later" He then turned back to what his chair.

"You could ask nicely" Belle responded.

"I could also turn you into a toad." He shot back. Neal shock his head, he couldn't understand how belle had fallen in love with him. And as if by magic Emma said exactly what he was thinking.

"It's a miracle you to fell for each other" She quickly looked up at Neal knowing that once again she had made a mistake.

"What? You trying to tell me I fall for the help?" Rumple once again puzzled by what Emma was saying. Neal quickly spoke up.

"Yeah she's got an odd sense of humour, now why don't we get back to what we came here for." He said trying to change the subject. Rumple looked up at Neal; there was something familiar about the man but he just couldn't figure out what. He turned his attention back at Emma and looked at her with squinted eyes before speaking again.

"So how did you get here in the first place" He asked taking a seat. Neal reached in to his bag and pulled out Zelena's pendant.

"Well it wasn't technically us. It was a erm witch." He said placing the pendant on the table. "But however she did it, this thing keeps glitching. Sending us to different times" Emma and Neal both waited in silence to hear rumples response to Neal almost unbelievable story. He picked up the pendant and studied it for a moment before wiping his hand across it. A light appeared from it and Neal grabbed Emma's hand in fear that they were moving time again. However when the light disappeared they were still stood in rumples castle.

"What did you do?" Emma questioned letting go of Neal's hand.

"Oh, just a quick freeze spell. You won't be moving to any other time; other than the one you wish." He said proudly. He sat in silence a few moments longer; looking at Emma and Neal. "Alright then. You better go." He said standing up and turning to exit the room. Neal and Emma looked at each other in confusion.

"Hey no you said you would help us." Emma argued. Rumple just laughed.

"And I will. But you didn't really think I would just help you for nothing, did you?"

"You son of a bitch." Neal muttered under his breath. Emma turned and placed her hand on Neal's arm.

"Shh, it okay will figure it out." Neal didn't calm down

"What do want!" He demanded.

"Oh a feisty one aren't we." Rumple giggled. "Don't worry I don't want anything from you. It just want you to watch something for me."

"What do you mean?" Emma asked.

"Just make sure everything goes to plan." Neal looked at Emma knowing she was thinking the same thing.

"Where is it exactly you want us to go?" Neal spoke. Rumple moved closer and put his arms out in front of him. Two invitations appeared. Neal and Emma both took one and began to read.

"You see I have a little curse I need enacting, and tonight's the night the threat is set." He said wiggling his head to himself. Emma looked at Neal in shock when she realised where it was he wanted them to go.

"Snow white and Prince Charmings wedding?" Emma questioned; not sure if she was scared or excited.

"Why who else. So do we have a deal?" Rumple joked, knowing the answer would be yes. Neal looked at Emma and if to confirm whether she was okay with this. She nodded.

"Deal."
