*Emma's POV *

I woke up early a few days later, half asleep until I saw the bassinet was empty. I sat straight up, finding Killian still asleep but no baby anywhere in the room. I got up as fast as I could, pulling on Killian's shirt from last night and running down to Henry's room where he should have been sleeping but finding no sign of him or Rebecca. I ran to every place Henry liked to go but found nothing, running back to the bedroom.

"Killian!" I shook him harshly. "Killian, damn it! Wake up! The kids are missing!"

"What?" He mumbled sleepily, his eyes going wide when he registered what I'd said and he sat up quickly. "Bloody hell, how long have they been gone? Did you check Henry's room?"

"Of course I did!" I yelled in panic as he got up and yanked his pants on. "I woke up maybe fifteen minutes ago and I've been searching for them since!"

"Okay, love, let's calm down and think," he said as calmly as he could, putting his hand on the small of my back to try to soothe me. "Have you checked with your parents? Maybe they took them somewhere."

"No, but wouldn't they have told us?" I asked anxiously, taking his hand as we walked quickly to find them. They were in the dining room with my brother, quietly talking as they ate. "Hey, uhm, you didn't take the kids somewhere or something did you?"

"No," my mom shook her head, her tone changing when she saw our faces. "Why? What's going on?"

"They were gone when we woke up," Killian answered for me, pulling me close when I started to break down. "There's no sign of them anywhere."

"Your highness," a guard broke in, addressing us all. "Your son was spotted in the village, appearing to be holding your daughter and being dragged towards the docks by a man. Shall we go after them?"

"Of course you should go after them!" He snapped. "What kind of idiots are you people!" We rushed upstairs to get dressed and ran our after the guards. They were all standing at one of the peirs, a ship just barely out of the dock. "For God's sake, don't tell me they got away! You incompetent morons!"

"Killian!" I yelled over him. "Get yourself together and let's go after them before they get too far!"

"Bloody hell, you're right," he said and we took off towards the Jolly Rodger. "Now I'm the incompetent moron."

"I don't have time to scold you right now," I said as we quickly undocked the ship and went after them. I heard a scream that could only belong to my daughter, freezing in place for a moment before grabbing a sword and putting it through my belt. "Screw it."

I tied my hair up and dove off the side of the ship, ignoring Killian yelling at me. I swam as fast as I could, desperate to get to my children. I found a rope and climbed up the back of the other ship, being as quiet as I could when I landed behind the helm. There was only one man up there so I quickly put a sleeping spell on him.

"Mom?" I heard a whisper to my left, looking over to see Henry in the corner with Rebecca whimpering in his arms. "Did you swim here?"

"Of course I did," I whispered back, slowly moving closer to them. "I had to get to my kids. Killian is right behind us on the Jolly Rodger. Now why the hell did you leave with whoever took you?"

"It was Neal," he said quietly and Rebecca went quiet when she finally saw me. "He said he was going to take Rebecca either way and I couldn't let her go alone. He could have hurt her."

"You're such a good kid. Stay here," I sighed, hugging them both and kissing Rebecca's forehead before standing up. I pulled out my sword, creeping up behind Neal and pressing it into his back. "Alright, you son of a bitch, turn around."

"Is that..." he trailed off as he turn, a smug smile on his face. "It is. Emma. Can I help you?"

"You took my children," I growled, turning my sword to dig it into his neck. "And for that, I should kill you, but I'm not as low as you. So when my husband gets here, we're taking our children home and you're going to sail away and never come back. Are we clear?"

Neal said nothing and a moment later a plank fell between the deck and the Jolly Rodger. Killian came on board, pointing his sword at him as well.

"The lady asked you a question," he snarled, glancing at me. "Are the kids alright?"

"Henry?" I called and Henry came nervously next to me. "Please take your sister to the captains quarters of the Jolly Rodger and lock yourselves in so you stay safe until we get there."

"Now are we finished here?" Killian asked angily once the kids were safe. "Because our children need breakfast and quite frankly, I'm tired of looking at you. You go and never come near us again, or you'll get the same fate as the last person who threatened this family."

Without another word, we backed up onto Killian's ship and threw our swords down. Killian went to get us out of there while I rushed down to the captains quarters. I was glad to find the door locked, unlocking it with my magic and going in quietly.

"Kid?" I said gently, hoping not to startle them considering Rebecca was whining again. "You two alright?"

"We're fine," he said quietly as he came out of the corner. "But I think baby sister wants her mom."

"Does she?" I asked as I gently took her in one arm, knowing he was holding back. Rebecca calmed down and I wrapped my free arm around Henry, making him quickly cling to me. "I think both my kids want their mom right now, don't they?"

"Mhmm," he nodded, letting me bring them to the bed and hold them both in my lap. "I'm sorry I let us get kidnapped and now I'm being such a baby."

"Oh, kid, you're never too old to want your mom to hold you," I assured him, kissing the top of his head. "And I always will. None of this is your fault. You did a great thing going with your sister to keep her safe and I can't thank you enough for that. I'm just so so glad you're both alright."

"Thanks mom," he sighed as he relaxed. "Is dad mad?"

"Killian?" I asked as I looked down at him, still not used to Henry calling him that. "He's upset, but not at you. He loves you just as much as he does your sister, he could never be really angry with either of you."

"She's right, lad," Killian said as he came in, meeting Henry halfway for a tight hug. "Thank god you're alright. I should have killed him where he stood for doing that to you."

"I'm fine," Henry told him when he started to check him over. "And I didn't let them touch Rebecca, I swear."

"I trust you," Killian nodded, fixing his hair so he could see his face. He looked over at me as I fed Rebecca quietly, a smile coming to his voice while I let them have their moment. "It looks like your mother has her under control. Why don't you and I go back up and get us home?"

I heard Henry run up on deck and soon felt Killian lift my chin, his eyes carefully checking me over before he pressed a gentle kiss to my lips. He knelt to check on Rebecca, her eyes moving to him as she ate. He smiled and that made her smile, breastmilk getting all over her and I. He chuckled, kissing her forehead and my lips lightly before going on deck with Henry to get us back home.

As requested by Jurnee700 , an update. It's not great, I know, but hopefully it's something to tide you over. Later, loves!
