I Finally Found You (1)

20: And Then There Were Three

(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.
