When Henry was over to spend time with him, Neal always did his best to treat him like he was a kid. Which Neal probably thought was a lot of stereotypical stuff that he THOUGHT kids were into. He never had a happy childhood and his sister was homeless before she was 16, she had SOME idea but her family life wasn't completely a happy one, so she provided a bit of a guide, and he tried to steer things along.

So Henry got to have ice cream for dinner sometimes ("Don't tell your moms"), he got to play video games all weekend ("Don't tell your moms"), and he got to stay up as late as he wanted on school nights ("For God's sakes, don't tell you moms!")

Lily didn't care, she was the cool aunt, but sometimes she insisted on a healthy lunch of breakfast to offset the ice cream they all ate together.

She was sleeping on the couch when he came into the house to wake her up and tell her about the emergency family meeting. He saw the TV was on and scowled when he saw that she'd finally managed to beat his score on Duck Hunt.

Just the cherry topping on a shitty night sundae.

He regretted having to shake her awake, she gave a loud moan and turned over. He gave her another shake to get her up, "Come on, let's go."

"Whaaaaat?" she demanded.

"Family meeting."

"We just HAD one!" Lily protested, "Well I mean they did."

"Well, we're getting another, and this time we're expected to be there for it," he threw her boots down on the floor beside the couch, "Apparently it's all family on deck."

"Glad to see we're remembered finally," Lily sat up and pulled them on over her pajama bottoms, "I'd rather sleep though."

When the phone started ringing, Charming let out a groan and rolled over to get away from the shrill ringing, doing so nearly sent him off the bed and he caught himself on the end table and realized once again, they needed a bigger bed.

He sat up and looked around, he saw Red's things across the room and remembered that Red had moved more of her stuff in last night, they'd have to find a place for everything, but that was part of the fun of a new relationship he guessed, moving in.

Some people might think it was too soon for the girlfriend to move in with him and his wife…but Red was spending the night with them every night anyway, so it made sense all her things would be there.

"David, please!" Snow buried her head under the pillow.

He realized it was his phone and reached over to answer, "Yeah?"

"Dad, it's me."

"Hey, what's going on?"

"We're having a family meeting, in half an hour."

"Half an hour? There's three of us, Emma. And we all don't fit in the shower."

"Ew, okay, I didn't need to know that. An hour then."

"Thanks, oh will you guys have breakfast?"

"Bye dad."

He hung up the phone and went to snuggle his wife, "Snow?"

She didn't say anything. He lifted the pillow that she'd burrowed under, "Snow, we have to go, Emma's called a family meeting."

Snow groaned, "Why?"

"Don't know, guess we're all getting on the same page."

He threw the covers off, Red threw a pillow at him.

"Everyone, we have to get showered and get dressed," Charming got out of bed, "I'll feed the baby!"

Emma waited till everyone was gathered in the house before she updated everyone on what happened, from what Regina had done to Killian to Hades getting control of the heart and giving it to Zelena.

And she told them who Hades was after. She saw that her son was scared and she felt an aching in her gut.

Rumpelstiltskin toyed with his wedding ring as he looked at his wives, "So Killian is here…why?"

"To warn us"

"After Regina told him not to come back."

"I guess…..this new heart he stole overrode it somehow," Emma sat down and ran a hand through her hair, "So now we have to figure out what we're going to do now."

"Unless he DOES have his heart, and he's working with Hades."

"Why would he warn us Hades was coming then?" Emma asked.

"Maybe he's lied about a few things so when Hades arrives, he'll have caught us by surprise. Maybe it's not even Hades, maybe he's working with someone else."

Emma sighed, "Or maybe he's right and he wants to redeem himself."

Rumpelstiltskin scoffed, "You always see the best in him."

"And you always see the worst," Emma snapped.

"He's been trying to upend our happiness for months," Rumple said sharply, "With all this nonsense that our reality is fake…I wonder, dearie, if he was married to you, how much of that nonsense would he believe if I was the one saying all this was wrong."

"Perhaps it is all wrong, but it's not like it matters," Emma reminded him, "Because we've all decided this is the one that we've wanted to stay in."

"Until one day when someone gets curious at what the real reality might be…. if this is indeed fake."

"That's not going to happen."

"For you maybe," Rumpelstiltskin told her, for now."

"Can we just….," Charming started, "Focus on what the issue at hand is. If Hades IS coming and he IS after our kids, then this goes far beyond Hook."

"But if they DO have the heart, then Zelena can see what Hook sees. He's the spy, so where is he now?"

"He's been locked in a room under the hospital, for now?"

"The asylum?" Belle asked anxiously and put her hand on her belly.

"I'm having a bigger more comfortable space made," Emma explained, "It won't be like it was with you. "

Regina looked away awkwardly and tried to focus on anything else but the pregnant woman she was sitting across from.

"So, we question Hook, constantly if we have to," Maleficent said, "Until we know everything he knows."

"And we fortify Storybrooke."

"How do we fortify against a god?" Emma asked, "One that knows we're here and is pissed we killed his girlfriend?"

"I'll have to do some research," Rumpelstiltskin told them, "But I don't know how productive it's going to be."

"Luckily," Maleficent stood, "You have several magic users for wives and one bookworm that can find anything."

Belle blushed.

Emma nodded, "So, let's get started."
