True Love: God Approved

Chapter 13

* Writer's POV *

"I already told you," Regina sighed, so frustrated with them she could snap. "The only person I've ever known who was able to use mirror magic to look across realms was Emma, and obviously she's not here, so I can't help you."

"What about Rumple's crystal ball?" Zelena suggested, rocking baby Robin gently. "If we can break into his shop we can try to use that to find them."

"Except we'd need Emma for that too," her sister shook her head. "Almost anything that'd help us right now, requires the Savior's light magic. I have no idea how we're supposed to get them back."

"Get who back?" Henry asked as he came downstairs in his pajamas, looking at everyone's tense posture and pained expressions. "Wait, what'd I miss? I thought things were looking better, who's missing?"

"Emma and Hook disappeared along with the Jolly Rodger," Snow finally told him and his face fell as his stomach dropped. "We're doing everything we can to get them back, but we don't even know what world they're in."

"What if I could write it?" He asked and everyone looked at him in shock. "The way I did in the Underworld. What if I could write where they are so we could find them?"

*Emma's POV *

"So," Anna prodded once she got me alone and we were looking through gowns for tonight. "You said the whole heart thing was only the beginning. What else has happened since we left?"

"Well," I took a breath, summing up what happened as simply as I could and trying not to let her see the tears in my eyes. "And then I had to, uhm, kill Killian, so yeah, it's been a long few months."

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry," she said as she pulled me into another hug. "Wait, if you had to kill him, how is he here?"

"I went to the Underworld after him," I said quietly, trying to focus on all the dresses instead of reliving those awful moments of holding him as he took his last breath and saying goodbye to him on that elevator. "I couldn't save him so he made me leave him behind, but after he helped us defeat Hades Zues brought him back and he scared the hell out of me at the cemetery."

"So when did he propose?" She asked and I looked up. "Sorry, the ring kind of gave you away."

"Oh," I laughed a bit at myself as I twisted it around my finger. "Yeah, I guess it would. It only happened a few days ago, so I'm not really used to it."

"Only a few days ago?" She asked with confusion. "After all of that, he waited until a few days ago?"

"She scares easy," Killian's voice came from the doorway as I laughed at her look of utter shock. "I had to make sure she was ready."

"True," I agreed as he came to wrap his arm around me and kiss my cheek. "Oh that reminds me, mom already wants to start wedding planning, but I told her I had to talk to you first."

"Whatever you want, love," he said and squeezed my hip. "As long as I get to marry you, I'm not worried about anything else."

"Cute, but you're not getting out of this," I teased him, bumping my shoulder against him and making him grin. "I'd be happy with our family on the deck of your ship, but you know my mom so you're going to have to have an opinion here."

"We'll figure something out," he assured me, unconcerned. "For now let's just get home, alright?"

"Sounds about right," I sighed, looking back at Anna. "You can pick whatever dress you want me to wear, I'm just going to get cleaned up before the ball."

"Alright," she nodded, still watching our interaction with a small smile. "I'll pick something and bring it to my room, just put on a robe or something when you're done and you can come get ready with me and Elsa."
