I'm so sorry about not updating on Sunday! I have had very little time to get onto my computer with WiFi the past few days. Also, I'm sorry for not updating for a couple weeks! I was out of town. I am also sorry to say that I will not be updating this coming Sunday because I will be out of town again.
If you have a specific scene you would like to see in the epilogue, let me know and I will see if I can write it in!
Thank you for all the love and support this story has gotten!
I do not own Once Upon a Time or its characters.
Chapter Twenty-eight
Won
Gold appeared behind Dr. Facilier. "Hello, dearie."
Dr. Facilier turned around and looked at him, losing his focus on Regina. That was a mistake. Regina's magic blasted Dr. Facilier back. He crumpled to the floor, looking helpless. "Please… stop."
Gold pulled out Pandora's Box. "Do you know what this does?"
Dr. Facilier nodded. "Please, don't."
Gold smirked. "Sorry." He waved his hand over the top of the box. The red diamond lifted up and red smoke poured out of the box. The smoke swirled around Dr. Facilier and consumed him, bringing him back into the box.
"Regina," Killian said.
Regina looked back at them. She waved her hand and they all appeared in the living room.
"Mom!" Henry exclaimed.
"Hey, kid," Emma said. She flinched in pain.
"Regina, heal her," Killian said. "Please." He set Harper on her feet.
Regina nodded and walked over to them. She waved her hand over Emma.
Emma relaxed against Killian. "Thank you."
"Emma, are you okay?" Killian asked.
Emma put both hands on the sides of Killian's face and kissed him. When she pulled away, she said, "I am so happy you're okay."
"How many times do I have to tell you, Swan? I'm a survivor," Killian joked. His expression became serious. "I'm so happy you are alright, Emma."
"Mommy? Is baby okay?" Harper asked sweetly.
Emma and Killian both laughed a little.
"Baby is perfectly fine," Emma said.
Harper clapped.
Killian pulled away from Emma and picked up Harper again. He hugged her. "I'm so glad you're alright, little one."
"Of course I'm fine. Mommy protected me; and I'm strong," Harper said.
Killian chuckled and kissed Harper's head. "That's correct, you are."
"Mom," Henry said again. He ran over to Emma and hugged her.
"Hey, kid," Emma replied again, hugging him back.
Henry pulled away. "Are you okay?
Emma nodded. "Yeah. I'm alright."
David walked over and Emma hugged him. "Dad."
David hugged Emma tight. "Emma, I am so glad you are okay. I was worried sick."
Emma laughed and pulled away. "Where's Mom and Neal?"
"Well, your mother and brother were at school until three. Snow wanted to help, but I convinced her to stay home with Neal and make sure he was safe."
"She actually listened to you?" Emma asked, laughing.
David chuckled. "Yeah, I know. Shocking. I called your mom and she should be over soon."
"Dad, it's close to midnight."
"I don't care and neither does your mother."
Emma smiled. "Thanks." She felt an arm wrap around her waist and she smiled. Emma turned around. "You sure you're okay?"
Killian nodded. "Aye."
"Did you take Harper to the hospital back in New York?"
Killian nodded. "Aye. That's where she disappeared. The doctor had quite the scare."
Emma laughed a little. "Well, you should call them and let them know that you found her."
Killian chuckled. "Aye."
"Emma!"
"Em!"
Emma turned around and barely had time to react before she was being hugged by her mother. Emma laughed. "Hey, Mom."
Snow pulled away. "Are you okay?"
Emma nodded. "Yes, of course."
Snow sighed in relief. "Thank goodness."
"Em!" Neal said.
Emma smiled down at her little brother. She hugged him. "Hey, buddy."
"Are you and the baby okay?"
Emma nodded. "We're great."
"Good!" Neal pulled away and then ran off the play with Harper.
"I hate to be the one to ruin the happiness," Killian said. "But we should go make sure that King George is still locked up."
Emma nodded. "You're right."
"And I have a way to make sure that he never gets out ever again," Killian said.
"Okay, let's go," Emma said.
Killian wanted to argue, but he didn't want to let Emma out of his sight. So, instead, he nodded. "Okay. Henry can watch Harper while we're gone."
Emma nodded and walked over to Henry. "Killian and I are going to make sure that King George is secured."
Henry nodded. "Okay, I'll watch Harper."'
Emma smiled. "Thanks."
"Be safe, Mom."
"I will." She gave him another smile before walking back to Killian. "So, what's your way to make sure that King George never gets out ever again?"
"You remember the reason I brought us to New York?"
Emma nodded. "To get that bottle."
"Aye. Well, I found it."
"Oh, and that's your plan? Trap King George?" Emma asked.
Killian nodded.
"Where are we going to put him after that?"
"We leave him in his cell and have Regina seal it," Killian explained.
Emma took Killian's hand. "Alright, let's go."
King George rolled his eyes. "What do you want?"
Killian smirked. "I wanted to let you know that Dr. Facilier failed. We won."
King George looked down. "What are you going to do with my daughter?"
"Daughter…?" Emma asked. She looked at Killian.
Killian remembered the little girl who answered the door when he, Belle, and Regina went to the Enchanted Forest to save Emma. Killian nodded. "Aye, he has a daughter, an adopted daughter. A daughter he kidnapped."
"He was locked up. How could he have had a daughter?" Emma asked in confusion.
"He escaped, with the help of Dr. Facilier, six years ago, a few months before we found out you were pregnant with Harper," Killian explained.
Emma shook her head. "That doesn't make any sense. He escaped from his cell to try and take Harper."
"I don't know how he did it," Killian said, looking at King George.
"Well, if you insist," King George said. "Dr. Facilier kidnapped my daughter's birth father six years ago. He transformed him to look like me and gave him the same memories as me. When I found out you were having a baby, I knew I could destroy your happiness to get revenge on David. So, I came to destroy your happiness. When you beat me, Dr. Facilier released me from the prison I was in and replaced me with my daughter's birth father again."
Emma looked at Killian. "We can't leave a child parentless, Killian. We can't."
"And we won't. We'll find the girl's real father and reunite them," Killian reassured.
"She's my daughter! You will not take my daughter away from me!" King George yelled.
"You kidnapped her!" Emma argued.
King George looked at Killian. "If you take away my child, I'll make sure you lose yours."
Killian glared. "Don't threaten my family."
King George looked murderous. He lunged at Emma.
Emma did what her instincts told her to do: she raised her hands and blasted her magic at King George.
King George flew back and hit the wall.
"You are not going to hurt my family," Emma said. She grabbed the bottle from Killian. "Where is your daughter's real father being held?"
King George glared at her. "I'm not telling you a thing."
"Do you know how selfish that is? If you don't tell us, your daughter will be alone. Do you really want that?" Emma asked.
He scowled. "Better alone than with someone else."
That took Emma by surprise. No parent who loved their child would want them to be alone. Emma shook her head sadly. "Your daughter is lucky that you're locked up." Emma opened the cap to the bottle and pointed it towards King George.
King George disappeared and reappeared in the bottle, a lot smaller. He banged on the walls of the bottle with his fists, yelling something that neither Emma nor Killian could make out.
Emma set the bottle down in the middle of the room and turned around.
Killian took her hand and they walked out together.
I hope you enjoyed that chapter! Remember, if there is a scene you would like to see in the epilogue, let me know in a review of a PM.
