Chapter Twenty

Better

Harper cried.

"Henry! Take her out of here!" Killian yelled.

Henry nodded and picked up Harper. He ran out of the room.

"Regina, fix this," Killian demanded.

Regina waved her hand over Emma. "The magic that King George put in her is out. I don't understand."

"Fix this!"

"I'm trying!" Regina yelled. Regina waved her hand over Emma again. "There. She's not healed yet, but I sealed her last breath in her. She should stay alive until we fix her."

"What about the baby?" Killian asked.

Regina shook her head. "I don't know. We just have to hope that it's okay."

Killian walked over to Emma. "Wake up, love." Killian let out a sob. He grabbed Emma's hand. "Wake up."

Regina walked over to Killian and put a hand on his shoulder. "I'll find a way to save her, Killian. I promise."

Killian nodded.

"I'll call Snow and David." Regina pulled out her phone and walked out of the room.

Killian sighed. "I love you, Emma. Stay safe." He squeezed her hand and walked out of the room to see Harper.

"Daddy!" Harper cried when she saw Killian. She wiggled out of Henry's arms and ran over to her dad.

Killian bent down and caught Harper when she ran into him. He lifted her up and stood up. "Hey, little love, you okay?"

"What happened to Mommy?" Harper asked, ignoring Killian's question.

Killian rubbed Harper's back and swayed a little. "Nothing."

"Can I see her?"

Killian shook his head slowly. "Not right now. Mommy's tired."

"But, Daddy…" Harper whined.

"Please, Harper, just trust me," Killian said. "And… go home with Henry. He'll watch you until I get home." Killian glanced at Henry and he nodded.

Harper shook her head and buried her face in Killian's shoulder, holding him tighter. "No, Daddy. I want to stay here with you and Mommy."

Killian sighed. "I know, love, but… you just have to go home. Mommy and I will come home soon."

Harper pulled away and smiled at Killian. "You better."

Killian gave her a soft smile. "I better, huh?"

Harper giggled and nodded. "Yeah."

"I will." Killian kissed Harper's forehead. "I love you."

Harper smiled. "I love you, too, Daddy."

Henry walked over and Harper climbed onto him. She smiled at her dad and Henry did as well.

"Thanks, lad." Killian didn't wait for an answer. He turned and headed back towards Emma's room.

He walked in and saw Regina with her hands over a still-unconscious-Emma. He rushed over there and yanked Regina's hands away. "What are you doing?"

Regina looked at Killian and glared.

"She's been through enough! She doesn't need anymore magic in her!" Killian yelled before Regina could respond.

"I wasn't putting any magic in her, I was trying to figure out if there were still potions inside of her," Regina explained. "Luckily, I got my answer before you broke my concentration."

"Well? Is there anymore potions?" Killian demanded.

Regina glared for a moment more and then looked at Emma. "No, they're all gone."

"Then why isn't she awake?" Killian looked at Emma.

"The exhaustion that the potions gave Emma still remains- " she looked at Killian- "But she'll wake up soon. I promise. So, I took the sealing spell off her. She started breathing regular a minute ago."

Killian nodded. "Thank you and… sorry for breaking your-" he gestured towards Regina's hands- "Concentration."

"It's fine. Where's Henry and Harper?"

"Henry took Harper home."

Regina nodded. "I suspect that you're staying here tonight?" Killian nodded. "Well, then, I will just be on my way. I'll go check in on Harper and Henry and make sure they're doing alright. Then I'll head to my vault and see if I can figure out when Emma will wake up."

Killian nodded. "Thank you, Regina."

Regina smiled and walked out of the room.

Killian walked closer to Emma's head. He leaned down and kissed her gently. "I love you, Emma. I'll be right here when you wake up." He gazed at her for a moment longer and then sunk into the chair next to the bed. He took ahold of Emma's hand and didn't let go.

Emma's eyes shot open. She shot up in bed and sucked in a heavy breath.

"Emma!" Killian rose from his chair and stood next to Emma, still holding her hand. "Are you feeling okay?"

Emma looked around the room for a moment more before her gaze rested on Killian. "W- what happened?"

"You don't remember, love?" Killian asked.

Emma shook her head. "No, I-" She paused as the memories came back to her. She rested her hand on her stomach. "Did it work?"

"Did what work?" Killian asked.

"Regina, she took the potions out of me, did it work?" Emma asked.

"Aye, it did." Killian couldn't help but smile.

Emma's face broke out in a grin. "It worked! Our baby is going to be okay!"

Killian nodded, his smile only growing wider. "That it is."

Emma threw her arms around Killian's neck and hugged him. Killian's arm went around her waist.

Emma breathed out a sigh of relief. "We're having a baby and it's going to be just fine."

"Aye, love." Killian smiled even wider. They were having another baby! He already knew that, but he knew now that the baby would be safe. Killian kissed the side of Emma's head. "I'm so glad you're okay."

Emma pulled back. "Me, too. Where's Harper?"

Killian rubbed Emma's back. "She's at home with Henry."

Emma nodded. "Do you think… do you think I'll be able to go home now?"

Killian opened his mouth to speak, but then they heard, "Yes. You can, Emma." They looked up and saw Dr. Whale walking into the room. "You are okay to go home. Just make sure you consume lots of water and healthy food and gets lots of rest."

Emma smiled. "Thank you."

Whale smiled. "See you at the next ultrasound." He turned and walked back out of the room.

Emma looked at Killian. "I get to go home. We get to go home."

Killian kissed Emma. "What are we waiting for? Harper wants to see her mommy."

Emma smiled and kissed Killian one more time before moving off the bed.

Killian opened the door for Emma and walked inside their home as quiet as a mouse. They heard Harper's complains about going to bed too early, it was coming from upstairs. It was only 7:00 at night, Emma having slept for most of the day.

Emma smiled and gestured for Killian to follow her quietly up the stairs. They reached Harper's room and couldn't help but smile.

"- it's too early, Henry! I want to say goodnight to Mommy and Daddy!" Harper complained.

"You can say goodnight to them tomorrow night, Harp, but you need to get some sleep," Henry said.

"But, Henry!"

Emma stepped into the doorway. "Goodnight, Harper."

Henry and Harper's heads shot up. They both smiled.

"Mommy!" Harper jumped out of her bed and ran as fast as she could to her mom.

Emma bent down and caught Harper as she rammed into her. She wrapped her arms around her and held her tight. "I'm home."

"Yay!" Harper cheered. She pulled back. "You stay?"

Emma nodded. "Yes, I stay."

Harper clapped. "Yay!" She turned and looked at Henry. "Henry! Mommy stay!"

Henry smiled as he walked over. "I know. It's great!"

Emma laughed and stood up, Harper on her hip. She put her free arm out and hugged Henry. "Hey, kid."

"You feeling better, Mom?" Henry asked.

Emma nodded. "Oh yeah."

Henry chuckled. "I'm glad."
"Me, too," Killian said, finally walking into the room.

"Daddy!" Harper cheered. "Hi!"

Killian smiled and kissed Harper's head. "Hello, darling. Now, what do you say, time for bed?"

I hope you enjoyed that chapter!
