I am so sorry I didn't update on Sunday! Anyway, after this chapter there is only one more until the Epilogue. So, if you have any scenes you want in the Epilogue, let me know in a review or PM and I'll see what I can do.

Chapter Twenty-nine

Pixie Flowers

"We need to get to the Enchanted Forest as soon as we can," Emma said. "We can't leave that little girl alone any longer." Once Emma and Killian had gotten back from King George's cell, Emma went straight into brainstorming ideas on how to help King George's daughter.

Killian smiled at her. "We will. We just need to find a way to get over there."

"A magic bean?" Henry suggested.

"Does Anton have anymore?" Snow asked.

"He has one, but we need two," David explained.

"What about the portal in the Sorcerer's mansion?" Belle asked.

Regina shook his head. "We can't. After Emma and Gideon attempted to bring Hook home using it all those years ago, it sealed itself somehow."

"What if we use the Pixie Flowers?" Snow asked.

"How would that help? It only works if you're trying to find your True Love," Emma said.

Snow nodded. "Yes. So, if we find this girl's father, he can help us find her."

"That could work," Henry said.

"Aren't you all forgetting something?" Regina asked. "The Pixie Flowers only grow in the presence of great evil and last time I checked, the Black Fairy was dead."

"But Dr. Facilier was here," Snow said. "We have to try."

Emma nodded. "She's right. Let's split up and search the woods. There has to be something out there."

"Aye," Killian said.

"Shall I offer my assistance or go back to my cell?" Gold questioned.

"What is he still doing here?" Killian demanded.

"Killian, it's okay," Belle said.

"No, Belle. We agreed that he would go back after this was all over," Killian said.

"But it isn't over, yet. Wait until we reunite the girl and her father," Belle pleaded.

Killian glared at Gold. He felt Emma squeeze his hand. He looked over at her. She was smiling at him. She gave him a slight nod. Killian smiled at her. He looked back at Gold and his smile faded. "Alright, fine."

Belle smiled. "Thank you, Killian."

"Okay, we should split up so we can cover more ground," Emma explained.

"But it's late," Snow said. "And you need rest, Emma. We can continue in the morning."

Emma knew she was right. She was exhausted. "Okay."

"Gold has to go back to his prison until then," Killian said.

Belle shook her head. "No. We can trust him."

Killian was about to protest, but Emma stopped him, "We'll put a magic cuff on him to make sure."

Belle nodded. "Okay."

Regina waved her hand and a cuff appeared on Gold's wrist. "There."

Belle smiled and her and Gold left.

Emma leaned against Killian.

"Tired, love?" Killian asked.

Emma nodded. "You have no idea."

"Why don't you head to bed and I'll take care of everything else."

Emma smiled. "Thank you." She gave him a soft kiss before moving upstairs.

"I'll go grab Neal," Snow said and walked upstairs.

"I should get going as well," Regina said.

"I'll go with you, Mom," Henry said.

Regina smiled. "That's okay with me." She and Henry said goodbye and left.

Snow came back downstairs with a tired Neal and Harper following. She and David said their goodbyes and headed back home.

Harper walked tiredly over to Killian. "I'm tired."

Killian chuckled and picked her up. "Well, let's get you to bed."

By the time Killian got Harper to bed and was ready himself, Emma was already asleep. He smiled at her and crawled in next to her.

Emma felt the bed shift when Killian climbed on. She felt arms wrap around her waist. Killian pulled her back against his chest and fell asleep.


Emma and Killian dropped Harper off at school. They watched her run over to Neal and play with him. When the bell ring, they saw Ashley come out and bring her class in, including Harper.

"She'll be okay," Killian said.

"I know. She's just growing up so fast. I hate it," Emma said, not taking her eyes off the window.

Killian took Emma's hand and kissed it. "Me, too."

Emma turned around and looked at him. "Let's go. I don't want to make a little girl live without her father any longer."


They decided to split into three groups: Regina and Henry were one, Emma and Killian and David were another, and Belle and Gold were the third. Soon, they were all scouring the forest, looking for the Pixie Flowers.

"Are you sure that it was wise to let the crocodile roam free?" Killian asked as he, Emma, and David searched.

Emma nodded. "It's fine, Killian. Belle won't let him do anything he'll regret."

"She's right, Hook," David said. "Wives always are."

They laughed.

"Did he hurt you?" Killian asked after a few moments of silence.

Emma and David looked at Killian in confusion.

"Dr. Facilier," Killian tried. "Did he hurt you?"

Emma nodded, not welcoming the memories back into her mind.

Killian squeezed Emma's hand. "I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault, Killian," Emma said.

Sensing that they needed a moment alone, David walked ahead.

"How… how did you find me?" Emma asked.

"We used one of your tears," Killian explained.

Emma gave him a playfully confused look.

Killian smiled a little. "Gold had one of your tears - and I have no clue why."

"How did my tear help?"

"When magic is added to it and you put it in somebody else's eye, it makes it so that you can feel, hear, see, and smell what the person is. That's how we found you."
"Who used the tear?" Emma knew the answer already, she just wanted to hear Killian say it.

"I did, of course," Killian said, a teasing tone in his voice. "Which is why I asked if he hurt you. I… I felt pain shoot through my back and pretty much my whole body. I couldn't stand thinking that you were going through that."

"I'm sorry," Emma said.

Killian stopped and turned Emma towards him. "I'm not sorry. If I hadn't had done that, then we wouldn't have found you."

Emma smiled a little. "Thank you."

"Guys!" David called, running back to them. "I… I found them."

Emma and Killian broke out into a run, and within a minute they were standing in a field of

pink Pixie Flowers.

Emma bent down and picked one. "Now, let's go find this girl."


Dr. Facilier made one mistake: he left the fake King George in his cell at the hospital.

Regina shook the dust from the Pixie Flower into a small bottle. She capped it and handed it to Killian. "That should be enough."

Emma nodded. "Let's see if we can convince this man that he has a daughter."

"You won't need to convince him," Regina said. "I have a potion that I worked on last night that will return his memories and transform him back to the man he once was."

"Okay, then you can go in first," Emma said, stepping away so that Regina could open the door.

Regina opened the door. "Hello."

Fake King George looked up. He glared. "What do you want?"

Regina rolled her eyes. "For Heaven's sake." Regina opened the bottle for the potion and threw it at Fake King George.

He stumbled back as he transformed shapes. He looked at his hands and then back at Regina. "Where's my wife and daughter?"

Emma walked over. "Your daughter is fine. We have a way to help you get back to her." Emma paused. "What's your name?"
The man glanced around the heroes, and then looked back at Emma. "Flynn. Flynn Rider."

Hope you enjoyed that! Remember, if you have any ideas for the Epilogue, let me know in a review or PM. :)
