Daggers

Chapter 12 Regret

In the past, the Evil Queen expected Captain Hook to kill his father. It was her evil test to see if Hook was going to be able to kill her manipulative mother. In exchange, she was meant to take Hook with her in the first curse, and give him the pleasure of killing Rumple. Hook ultimately proved he was strong enough to kill his father, but there was something that happened that Regina didn't know about. 

There was a discovery made, by Merlin, upon the Jolly Roger, dreamcatchers, several of them were hanging. Using magic, he revealed that Hook had used the dreamcatchers to take memories from himself. Looking into one of them, he viewed the past of Killian, killing his father, but before the killing, he saw something else. 

"He has a sister?" Emma asks, "Yes, that's what the memory revealed, his father, had another child," Merlin said. "Well where is she?" David asks. "That's up for discovery, but that's why he holds the regret of the past," Merlin said. "That's why he wanted to go to Hell, to get his father and brother, and probably try and find his sister," Emma realizes. "If we can find her, he may be able to let go of this," Merlin said. 

Zelena quickly enters the loft, "You better come quick," she said. The others, alarmed, follow Zelena, "She's having the baby now?" Emma asks, "How is that possible?" David asks. "Rumple of course, gave Regina a potion to speed it up," Zelena said. "We may know how to help get Killian to let go of the darkness, he has a sister," Emma explains. "Well let's go," Mary Margaret says. 

"Ok, Mary Margaret and I will go to the hospital, Emma, Merlin, Zelena, go find his sister," David said. "Excuse me Prince, it may not be that easy," Zelena said. "Well we at least have to try," Emma said. "Where's Killian?" David asks, "We don't know, Gold said he gave Regina the potion, and they're already at the hospital, they haven't called Killian," David said. 

Merlin, Belle, Henry, Emma and Zelena are searching through piles of books, "How the hell can we find some lost sister from him if it wasn't even here in Storybrooke?" Zelena asks. "Maybe she is here, do we have the town records of everyone?" Emma asks. "She would have been a child, she wouldn't have aged," Belle said. "So then perhaps she isn't here," Merlin said. "You're the brilliant one that can see things, don't you have some idea?" Zelena asks. 

"If Killian's father, had her with someone in the Enchanted Forest, she would be somewhere there, we would be searching for a child, that was roughly 10 years old before the curse," Merlin said. "So she would be all grown up now," Emma said. "Yes, but not necessarily that old," Merlin thinks. "You sense something?" Emma asks. "Well the child was made by his father and the woman whom was his true love, but I sense a spell existed over this child," Merlin said. "What kind of spell?" Zelena asks. "Something to keep youth, magic, I think the child was taken after Killian killed his father, by a witch," Merlin said.

Zelena glares at him, "It wasn't me," She snaps. "What would she have done with her? What did she want with her?" Emma asks. "To stay young," Merlin said. "Rapunzel," Belle said. "That's it, the witch took her and trapped her in a tower, using her hair to keep herself young," Merlin said. "So we have to find Rapunzel in a tower?" Emma asks. "Looks like it," Merlin said. "And then what?" Henry asks. "Cut her hair, destroy the magic," Zelena said. "Yes," Merlin nods. 

"How the hell do we get out of Storybrooke?" Zelena asks. "You," Merlin said. "Me?" she asks, "Yes, you can get us out of here with this," Merlin produces the apprentice wand. "You can summon a cyclone, we can get there," Merlin said. "Well now is your chance to help your sister," Emma said. 

Meanwhile in the Hospital 

"Ahhh!!!" Regina screams, Mary Margaret and David have arrived by her side. "Ok Regina, Breathe, good," Whale said. "How long does this take?!" Regina yells, "A while sometimes, but you're ready to push," Whale said. "This is now how I wanted this!" Regina yells. "It's ok, we understand why you did," Mary M comforts. 

Regina sped her pregnancy, and while it pained her to have the child without Killian by her side, she had motives to do it this way. "Come on Regina, almost there," Whale says. She gritted and clenched her teeth through the pain, and in her head she tried to imagine and comfort herself that this was the best choice for her and the baby. She knew Killian already had a deep feeling of attachment to his unborn child, and she hoped this would do as she intended. 

Exhaustion overcomes Regina, on the final moments as she pushes her child out. Killian on the ship, senses something that he can't quite place. He poofs himself around town to find most places empty. Gold's shop, Granny's, Mayor's office, even the Loft,  were all quiet and vacant. 

Killian poofs to Regina's house, he spots the sword on the table. It's protected by Regina's charms, but he could potentially break the spell. "Do it!" Rumple pops in, encouraging him, "Not you again, Thought I silenced you," Killian snaps. "Well time won't be so silent now, given where Regina is," Rumple says. 

"What? Where is she?" Killian asks, growing angry, "Well let's just say that things won't be too quiet in this house anymore," Rumple says. Killian thinks a moment, "A little bundle of joy tends to do that," Rumple said. Killian realizes that he's referring to the baby, "What? It's 9 months," he says. "There are ways to make that happen faster," Rumple says. 

Killian hears the quiet noises of the sword calling to him, but he's overpowered by the thought of where Regina is. 

After a tiring hour, sweaty, and breathing heavily, Regina is finally relieved. *Baby crying* "Congratulations, It's a girl," Whale hands her a small bundle wrapped in a blanket. Regina smiles, "Oh my gosh, Hi," as the infant is placed in her arms. "Oh Regina, she is beautiful," Mary M says. "Hi little one," Regina says, as she gently touches the infant's hand. The child stares at her, cracking her eyelids, revealing ocean blue eyes, just like Killian.
