-Underworld/ Hades hideaway-

Hades is holding the photo from the book showing him and Zelena. He wants Rumple to hurry up with the portal to Storybrooke. Combining their powers and using Rumple's Dark One blood will be painful, but Hades is holding the contract that will allow him to take Belle's baby if Rumple doesn't go along. Hades demands Rumple use the portal to snag Zelena's baby. If he delivers her, he'll rip up the contract and Belle can keep her baby.

-Storybrooke-

Belle delivers formula for Neal and Baby Hood to Mother Superior who is acting strangely. It turns out Mother Superior is actually Zelena and she's come for her baby. Zelena picks up the baby and Mother Superior and Belle demand Zelena put her down. Meanwhile in the Underworld, Rumple and Hades are opening up the portal right below Zelena's feet. Belle grabs the baby and falls through, quickly followed by Zelena.

-Underworld/ Hades hideaway-

But much to Hades' dismay, no one appears through the portal and he wants to know where Zelena's baby is. Belle, Baby Hood, and Zelena don't know where they've landed until Zelena notices the red sky and figures out they're in the Underworld. Zelena realizes that means Hades is the one who made the portal because he wants her baby. Belle, not believing Zelena is trying to protect them, runs off with the baby.

-Azalea's Pov-

"Riveting tale, Snow likes oatmeal. Is my morning breakfast there too?" Hook asked as he, Regain, Hook, Emma, Henry, Azalea, Alex, and Hercules looked over the new pages of the storybook. "Henry, I thought you were going to use your Author powers to get us to defeat Hades." He said, handing the book over to Azalea's waiting hands. "I don't even remember writing this. I just woke up and had it done." Henry said. "That's completely normal for any Author Henry. Don't let Hook bother you because he's getting impatient." Azalea said, smirking at the pirate. "Okay, well maybe if you focus harder." Emma suggested. "Oh. So, you're all Authors now?" Henry asked with sarcasm. He gathered the book from Azalea with anger. "I'm going my best, okay?" He said before storming upstairs. "Now we have two teenagers on our hands." Regina said, rolling her eyes. "I was never that bad...was I?" Azalea asked. "Was? You still are a teenager." Emma said. A knock came from the front door. "We have a visitor...in our underworld apartment?" Regina asked as Robin went to answer the door. He jumped back when he saw Zelena was on the other side, and she didn't look happy to be there. "So, someone finally did you in." Regina said with a smirk. Hercules took Azalea's shoulders under his arm. The girl's heart fluttered, blushing at how protective he was being. "Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm very much alive." Zelena said with a frown. "How did you get here?" Azalea asked. "Through a portal...and I didn't come alone." Robin stepped up, "Who else is here?" He asked. "Our baby." Zelena said with a frown. "And she's in danger." Azalea stepped up pulling a flower from her crown. "You probably need a location tracker spell then."

Azalea lead Zelena, Regina, Robin, Alex, and Hercules through the town as the glowing flower lead them to the missing baby. "Can you please tell me what you named our baby? Probably something dreadful like Brittany, or Nancy, or...oh, God. Not Marian." Zelena said, not caring how uncomfortable everyone was with her presence. "I haven't named our child yet. I need to get to know her first. Which I have been too busy to be because I'm protecting her from you." Robin said, practicing his patience. "You know Zelena, I used to be just like you." Regina said. "Oh please, don't flatter yourself." Zelena spat. "Geez, I thought our family history was complex." Alex whispered to Azalea. The girl smirked as she wordlessly led the group on, one of her hands in Hercules. The flower stopped glowing and Azalea stopped walking, looking around. "The spell stopped, the baby must be close." She said looking around. "Belle?" Regina asked, pointing up the street to where the woman was walking with a bundle of blankets in her arms. "Belle, is that you?" Robin called out. The woman looked up from her arms and seemed shocked to see us. "You have her?!" Robin asked in excitement as he ran to the woman and took the baby from Belle's arms. "Hey. Yea, she's fine." Hercules smiled at Azalea and kissed her cheek. "Good job, you." Azalea blushed wildly and Alex rolled his eyes with a smirk as Robin reunited with his baby. "Thank you." Zelena said, stepping up to Belle as Robin and Regina looked over the baby. "We need to get back home. I don't like the idea of you being out in the open with Peter Pan looking for you." Hercules said. The others agreed and so everyone headed to the house, excluding Zelena.
