Emma's POV:
I woke up and put on a long white lace dress and my white hooded cape. Killian and my parents were already downstairs getting ready with Regina. Henry was spending the day with Robin, Roland and Neal just to be safe.

I headed downstairs and found my parents and Killian.
Charming: "Ok, you ready?"
Emma: "Yeah"
My parents left and headed to the forest by the field. It was just Killian and I. Suddenly he pulled me into a hug. He wouldn't let go.
Killian: "Be careful, Swan"
I dug my head into his shoulder.
Emma: "I will"

We stayed like that until we eventually pulled apart. He left and headed to join my parents. I waited a while before I headed out and onto the field. I pretended to just walk around, I spotted my parents and Killian in the forest. They were keeping watch.

Man: "Why are you alone?"
I quickly turned around and saw him standing there. I was in shock and lost for words.
Man: "Emma?"
Emma: "I like to come and stay in the field before Henry's riding lesson"
Man: "Ah"
Emma: "Why are you here?"
Man: "Came to visit, we never got to finish our conversation...so Emma, are you having a boy or a girl?"
Emma: "Why do you want to know?"
Man: "Just curious"

Emma: "Well I don't know, it's not like there is a pharmacy around here"
Man: "Of course but there's magic"
Emma: "Who are you?"
Man: "You are just full of questions aren't you?"
Emma: "Who are you?"
Man: "You Know you can't have a conversation with someone if they say the same thing ov-"
Emma: "Who are you?"
Man: "If this is your way of trying to get me to come clean, it's not going to work"

Emma: "At least give me your name"
Man: "Where's the fun in that?"
He gave me a creepy smile. He really frustrates me. Why can't he answer one stupid question?!
Emma: "What do you want from me?"
Man: "If I were to tell you now, you'd find a way to stop me"
Emma: "Do you want my baby?"
Man: "I don't know"
Emma: "Who knows, maybe I'll give you what you want"
Man: "Oh you will, I'll see to it that you do"

He started to walk away but turned back around.
Man: "Don't underestimate me, Emma"
Emma: "I'm not"
Man: "Then tell your parents and Husband to come out from the forest"
He gave me another creepy smile and continued walking away.

I turned around in defeat. I was supposed to use the squid ink but I had forgotten all about it. But at least I got some answers. At least he talked more than last time. But now I have to find a way to defeat him.

I looked up as my parents and Killian reached me.
Killian: "What did he say?"
Snow: "Who is he?"
Charming: "Why didn't you trap him?"
Emma: "He-He asked about the gender of the baby again, I told him I didn't know...then I kept asking who are you every time he asked me a question, but he didn't even budge...then I asked what he wanted from me, he said that if he told me I'd try to stop him, and that I was going to give him what he wants...he's going to see to it that I do"

Killian: "That's it?"
Charming: "What did he say? Before he left?"
Emma: "Not to underestimate him...then he said to tell you guys to come out from the forest"
Killian: "He knew we were watching?!"
Emma: "Yeah"
Charming: "How could he have known?!"
Emma: "I don't know! Magic?"

Snow: "But if he has magic why would he wait? Why not just get what he wants?"
Emma: "He probably wants the baby...as we well know, he needs to wait"
Snow: "Kinda like how Zelena needed to wait for me to have Neal, he has to wait too"
Charming: "Great, so all our faith is on the hope that the baby doesn't come any time soon?"

Snow: "But don't you remember? Right now he's stuck!...that must be why he's playing games"
Emma: "It makes sense, and right now that's all I need"
Killian: "But Emma's eight months pregnant, we don't have much time"
Charming: "Then let's not waste it"
Snow: "Let's go inside, i still feel like he could be watching"
Emma: "Ok"

We all headed back inside the castle. This was such déjà vu.
Killian: "What if we found a way to get Emma somewhere safe, somewhere this man couldn't get to her"
Emma: "Wait, shouldn't we be concerned on why he needs our baby?"
Snow: "Not really, what good would it be?"

Emma: "We need to know his plan"
Snow: "What if his plan is Zelena's plan?...to go back in time!"
Killian: "But why?"
Charming: "I'm afraid there are many reasons for that"
Snow: "Ok, let's keep Emma in the castle, she can't leave...the sooner it gets to this baby coming the more ready he gets himself"
Emma: "So I'm a prisoner?!"
Snow: "No, we just need to keep you and the baby safe"
Emma: "What if I talked to him again?"
Killian: "No!...I don't want you near him again"
Charming: "Then we need a new plan"

Emma: "So what do I do all day?"
Charming: "Wait"
Emma: "I don't want to be completely useless"
Charming: "You won't be!...your baby's safety will be based on what you do...keeping yourself safe will keep the baby safe too"
Emma: "Ok"
Snow: "Then let's tell the guards to go on full lockdown...anyone outside the castle who isn't supposed to be must face Charming"
Charming: "Ok...Killian, stay with Emma"
Killian: "Aye"

My parents left, leaving Killian and I alone.
Emma: "Another villain"
Killian: "I think there will always be villains, but there will also be quiet moments"
Emma: "I know, you always tell me that"
Killian: "Then maybe you should start listening"
I laughed and hugged him.
Emma: "I love you"
Killian: "I love you too, Emma"
