(Killian's POV)
I guide Emma over to her bug. She seems extremely worried and scared. Why wouldn't she be? She's losing everyone whom she loves. She's going to lose me and, I'm going to lose her. No, you can't think like that. You have to be the strong one.
We reach her bug and Henry is already sitting in the back seat with his head down. Emma climbs into the driver's seat as I take the seat next to her. The drive to the Charmings' is mostly silence with a few sniffs coming from the lad in the back. I mostly just look at Emma, trying to memorize her every feature before I no longer remember who she is.
We arrive at the Charmings' and Henry quickly gets out of the car and into the building. Emma sighs and we follow him. We reach the Charmings' apartment and Emma softly knocks on the door. Snow opens it with a worried expression. Henry runs up to his room without saying a word. Emma and I walk over to the living room.
"What's going on? Is everyone ok? Why is Henry upset?" Snow starts bombarding us with questions.
"I'll answer those questions," I say. I turn to Emma. "Love, why don't you go try to give Mother Superior a call about Regina."
Emma nods her head and leaves the room. "What about Regina? What's happening?" Snow asks me.
"Well," I say taking a seat on the chair across from the couch where David and Snow are now sitting. "Regina lost her memories." They both sit there in utter shock. Snow covers her mouth with her hands and David places his hand on her leg while looking down at the floor. "I'm afraid that...." I start to say. "That one of us will soon lose our memories."
They just sit there in shock, worry and fear. "So this is really it?" Snow asks. David kisses the side of her head and wraps his arm around her.
"I'm afraid so," I say while looking down at the floor. "I better go check on Emma." And with that, I leave the couple alone on the couch. I walk over to the stairs, where Emma's sitting.
"Did you get a hold of anyone love?" I ask.
She shakes her head. "They've all lost their memories," she says. I sigh and sit next to her. She leans in and places her head on my shoulder. I wrap my arm around her. We stay there like that for a while.
"Would you like to go talk to your lad?" I say, breaking the silence.
"I think that might be a good idea," she says.
"Ok, love," I say and kiss her head. "I'll wait down here." She nods her head and walks up the stairs. I sit on one of the stools in the kitchen.
David walks over to me. "Hey," he says.
"Hey," I mumble. I take a swig of my rum.
"May I?" David asks and points to the rum.
"Sure," I say, surprised at the prince's question. I hand it to him and he takes a few swigs before returning the bottle to me.
"Thanks," he says. "Killian, can I ask you to do something for me?" He almost never calls me Killian. This is serious.
"What is it?" I ask cautiously.
"If Mary Margaret and I...lose our memories before you, can you take care of Emma for as long as you can before you lose your memories?" David asks.
"Of course, mate. I'd do anything for her," I reply, shocked at the prince's request.
"Good," he replies. Then we both sit there in silence, deep in our own thoughts.
(Emma's POV)
I walk up the stairs towards Henry and I's room. When I reach the top stair, I see Henry sitting on our bed. He still has tears dripping down his face and his eyes are red. It's hard to see him like this. I slowly walk over to him and sit beside him.
"Are you mad at me?" I ask him.
"No, I'm just sad that's all," Henry replies.
"Henry I'm so sorry about Regina. I really wish you didn't have to see that," I say.
"You don't have to be sorry, it wasn't your fault," he says.
"I know, but I still feel somewhat guilty," I say.
"Mom, are you okay?" Henry asks me.
"Honestly...no, I'm not okay Henry. I'm about to lose everyone I love, my happy ending and I just-I just," I start to say but then break down into tears. I tried to be strong for him, I really did, but it's too hard. Henry hugs me and I cry into his shoulder. I hold his head. My little boy. I pull back. "I love you Henry, so much," I say and kiss the top of his head.
"I love you too mom," he says. I smile. "Don't worry, I know that you'll find a way to reverse this."
"How are you so sure?" I ask.
"Because, heroes always win. And you're a hero, we're all heroes. You'll fix this, and we'll all get our happy endings back," he says.
"I wish I had your hope, kid," I say.
"It runs in the family," he says. I laugh. "Come on, let's go downstairs." I nod and we make our way down the stairs.
(Killian's POV)
Shortly after my conversation with David, Emma and Henry walk down the stairs. Emma has her arm wrapped around her son. I smile. They walk into the kitchen and stand next to David and I. Snow soon joins everyone in the kitchen holding Neal.
Elsa comes in with Anna's necklace, which is surprisingly unfrozen. "Elsa you did it!" Emma exclaims, grateful for some good news.
"Yes, and now this necklace will lead me to Anna," Elsa says.
"Wait, the locator potion's still on the necklace, and it works?" Emma asks.
"Yes, I believe it does. Look," Elsa lets go of the necklace but it doesn't fall to the ground. A purple magic surrounds the necklace and it begins to float away and out the door.
"Good luck, Elsa," Emma says.
"I wish you the best of luck as well," Elsa looks sincerely into Emma's and then everyone's eyes. "Thank you all." And with that, she follows the necklace out the door in search of her sister.
"Emma, your father and I have something to ask of you," Snow says.
"What is it?" Emma asks.
Snow looks at David as if telling him to start talking. "Well, you know that soon, your mother and I...won't be able to remember who we, or who anyone else is," David says, sadly, and Emma grimly nods. "And, well, we need someone to watch Neal, since we won't know who he is."
"Wait, what're you saying?" Emma asks, already knowing but asking for clarification.
Snow steps in with a comforting yet sad smile. "We want you to take care him for us."
"I-I can't take care of a child, not by myself!" Emma says.
"Yes, you can. You have to believe that you can, Emma," Snow says and places Neal into his portable-baby-seat thing. Snow goes over to Emma and holds her arms. "We love you, so much, Emma," Snow says. Tears begin to fill Emma's eyes. "And I know that you are strong enough to do this. We're all going to get through this." The tears begin to fall down both Snow and Emma's faces. But Snow tries to real them in and remain strong for her daughter.
"Your mother's right Emma. We love you and we will get through this," David says stepping to his wife's side.
Emma's lips begin to tremble. "I love you too, mom and dad," Emma says and then her and her parents hug each other.
Henry comes beside me and smiles at them. I smile too. They release each other from their hug and smile at one another.
"You can do this," Snow says confidently before her and David walk over to Neal.
Emma begins to wipe away her tears. I grab her hand and squeeze it. She smiles at me.
"David are you alright?" Snow asks.
(Emma's POV)
"David are you alright?" My mom asks my dad. I look over to them and David's holding his head in his hands. "David?Can you hear me?!" My mom asks. She looks at him in concern "David!?" She asks again. This time he looks up.
"W-who's David?" My dad asks. "Who are you? Where am I?"
"No..." My mom whispers and covers her mouth. She falls to her knees as the tears begin to fall.
"Dad?" I ask tears forming in my eyes.
"Dad? What're you talking about?" He asks. I cover my mouth too.
My mom lets out a small yelp and I look down at her. She's holding her head in her hands. "No..." I say. "Mom? Mom?!" She stands up and looks at me.
"Mom?" She asks. "Who are you?"
"No!" I scream. Tears are falling down my face. I begin to collapse but Killian catches me. "No! Mom! Dad!" I start to scream and try to go to them but Killian holds me in his grasp. "Please! No!" I scream.
"Lad, grab the babe and let's go," Killian says. Henry grabs Neal's portable car seat and heads out the door. "Come on swan."
"I can't leave them! They're my parents! Mom, Dad can't you hear me?!" I scream, crying even harder. My parents look at each other and cannot recognize one another. It breaks my heart.
"Who are you?" They ask each other. Eventually Killian carries me out the door.
