Chapter One, Separated Loved Ones

"No. No! Emma! Emma!" Killian shouted as he watched the black smoke carry away his fiancée, the mother of his child, and his one true love. "Where is it taking her?" Snow asked concerned but Killian wasn't paying anyone any attention as he stepped forward to pick up the dagger that now had his beloveds name written across it only to be stopped by David and Robin. "Get off me!" Killian growled as he shoved the two men off of him. "Watch it Pirate! Or I'll use your hook to show you your intestines." Regina snapped as she stepped toward Killian her hand at the ready.

"Well, what's stopping you?!" Killian growled not carrying about the tears rolling down his cheek. "Because of you your Majesty the darkness has taken them. Because of you I might never see them again, but I'll be damned before I let any of you stop me from bringing my fiancée back!" Killian pushed past them and picked up the dagger but as he went to call out his beloveds name David stopped him yet again.

"Them? The Darkness only took Emma." David asked stupidly looking at Killian confused. "No." Snow gasped looking at Killian her hand covering her mouth. "Killian," Snow said placing a hand on his arm. "I'm so sorry." Her own tears threatening to fall. David looked from his wife to the pirate that had won his daughter's heart in confusion until he realised what Killian had said to Regina and Snow's reaction and everything fell into place. "YOU!!" David shouted at Killian drawing his sword. "Charming stop!" Snow shouted startled at her husbands reaction.

"He got my daughter pregnant out of marriage and he proposed to her without gaining my permission. He's nothing but a pirate!" David shouted outraged. "DAVID!!" Snow shouted shocked at his behaviour.
"I LOVE EMMA AND I LOVE OUR CHILDREN AND NO ONE! NO ONE IS GOING TO STOP ME FROM GETTING THEM BACK!" Killian shouted at them glaring at David as held the dagger out in front of him Emma's name shinning in the light of the street lamps. "Dark One I summon the!" Killian called out into the night hope shinning in his eyes but she didn't appear. "Dark One I summon the!" He called out again but still Emma did not appear. "Why's it not working?" He asked frustrated.

"After years of hunting Gold for revenge did you learn nothing about the dagger?" Regina scoffed.
"You can summon the Dark One from any corner of the world." Killian replied frustrated he just wanted Emma back so he could make sure she and their babies were alright. "Well there's your answer then she's not in this world." Regina told them sinking Killian's hope before he pushed it away to be replaced by determination he would stop at nothing till he had Emma safely back in his arms.

"What's the matter? What's happened?" Henry asked concerned as he looked at his angry grandpa who kept throwing Killian glares of utter hatred, upset grandma and Killian who still had tears running down his face though there was fear and anger flicking across his face and Henry knew instantly something had happened to his mum. "Mum. Where is she? Killian?"
"She sacrificed herself for Regina lad, the darkness has taken them. I'm so sorry we wanted to tell you and now. Now I may never see them again." Killian said as he too a long drought of rum from his canteen.

"What's going on?" Belle asked worried for her friend.
"I'd proposed to Emma earlier today and we were about to tell everyone earlier and, and she's nearly three months pregnant with twins. I'm sorry lad." Killian said looking to Henry sadly.
"You're going to be my new dad?" Henry asked.
"Aye." Killian said taking another shot of rum.
"And I'm gonna have a new brother or sister?" Henry asked when Killian nodded again Henry smiles widely. "Cool. Now we just have to get mum back."

"Yes but we don't know how Henry." Regina told her son sadly.
"What about the Apprentice surely he would be able to help." Henry tried and with that they all left for Gold's shop.

'I really could curse that blasted pirate sometimes.' Regina thought as they all ran on to the Main Street hoping they could stop Zelena in time as the green twister was getting closer. "Zelena!" Regina called out Zelena turned to face the group that ran towards her smirking. "Your too late sis, I'm going to Oz where you'll never get me or this baby." Zelena called happily thinking she'd won as she lowered the wand. "If there's one thing our family likes to do is exploit pain." Regina smirked as she took the wand off of her sister and forced her into Granny's with the rest of them.

"Do you think you can change it to take us to Emma?" Snow asked Regina as she held Neil close to her chest.
"I can. I just need one of Emma's prized possessions and it'll lead us straight to her." Regina told them as she pulled Emma's baby blanket out of her bag. "Emma's baby blanket." Snow gasped. Regina threw her look and raised the wand ready to cast the spell only to be interrupted by three of the dwarves running into Granny's, Grumpy in the lead shouting twister. "We know we called it but you have to get out of here Grumpy." Snow told them as she bounced Neil up and down to soothe him. "No way sister Emma was one of us and we're sticking by you this time to get her back." Grumpy told her firmly glaring at her as if to dare her to try and stop them but Snow just smiled happily at her friends as Happy and Doc agreed with Grumpy's sentiments. "Though it is embarrassing missing all the adventures when people ask how was it and we tell them we weren't invited." Grumpy added grumpily.

"Just be quite and hold on to something." Regina snapped as she waved the wand over Emma's baby blanket a couple of times, the blanket  glowing a bright gold colour as the twister hit Granny's lifting it out of the ground and carried it away to Emma.
