"Wait, are you serious?" Robin asked as his smile disappeared. Regina nodded.
"Can we come up yet?" Killian shouted up the stairs. "I don't want to intrude on a make out session of sorts and burn my precious eyes!" Regina rolled her eyes.
"Yes, you can come up," she said answering in the same amount of sarcasm as Hook carried in his tone. Multiple footsteps fumbled up the stairs as they all scurried to see Robin.
"Robin, welcome back, mate," Hook said shaking Robin's hand and giving a light smack on his shoulder. He nodded at Hook in a friendly matter. Everyone greeted him, welcoming him home.
"Thank you all its really lovely seeing you guys, but I must help Regina find Henry... and Neal of course, so I'm going to gather up the Merry Men and get started in the woods," he turned and faced Regina, "would you like to come with?" He asked.
"Of course," she said, "I need something to do. Might as well start in the woods," she smiled sadly up at him. Emma leaned slightly closer to Killian.
"Shall we get started?" David asked pulling out his sword. "Im going to find the dwarfs, they know every route to the mines," he turned out the door.
"I suppose since I'm Mayor, I should warn the people," Mary Margaret stated, "I'll call a town meeting." Mary Margaret then left with Emma. Belle headed towards the library with Killian. Regina and Robin were headed out the door when they heard a bloodshot scream. Robin's eyes filled with panic at the sound of the somehow familiar scream.
"Marian?!" He yelled running out the door towards Granny's with Regina on his tail not far behind.

Emma and Mary Margaret went back to the Mayor's office and called a town meeting. It would be about an hour before the meeting occurred. Emma and Snow sat on the couch waiting. Snow raised her coffee cup to her lips. Scrunching her eyebrows, Emma turned to her mother.
"How do you do it?" She paused as Snow set down her coffee cup and rested her hands on her knees giving her daughter full attention. "How are you so strong all the time? Don't you wonder if you'll never see your son again?"
Snow pondered a moment before replying, "hope," she smiled reassuringly.
"How do you have hope all the time, aren't you a little bit worried?"
"Of course I'm worried, Emma. I love my son and grandson. The reason I'm so filled with hope is because of you, Emma."
"Me?" Emma gestured at herself.
"Yes... you see when I put you in that enchanted tree and sent you to another realm, a helpless little baby, I thought I would never see you again. The thing that kept me going was the hope that one day you would find your father and I... and you did. So, I believe that you will find your son, Emma. All you need to do is believe in yourself and have hope," Emma's eyes filled with tears and on cue, Snow got up and hugged her tightly. "You're the savior, Emma, but most importantly, you're my daughter and I love you." Mary Margaret let go of Emma. "Now, let's get everything aligned for the meeting," Mary Margaret claimed reaching for her confidential papers. It was time to tell the people what they were really up against.
