Bad Doesn't Always Mean Evil
As Doc glanced out the window he saw inevitability. This great force of change that can't be stopped. It was something that on any other day and in any other place people would stop and stare at, not in fear as they are doing in this forgotten land but in wonder of it size and beauty. Though as these people understood the graveness of the giant purple cloud rolling in on them its ascetics were quickly forgotten. Doc knew that time was of the essence as the cloud was getting closer as every second passed.
"Push!"He screamed.
The answering scream was of a much louder and painful variety.
On this grave day and at this grave hour, the only good fortune that came with the date was to be the birth of Emma, daughter of Snow White and King David.
Another scream tore through the room.
"Come on your almost done!" As soon as Doc called that to Snow White, no later than a second afterward, could the head of Emma be seen.
After a short time and a lot more pain, the daughter of Snow and David finally was out of her mother's womb. She then took her first breath outside, and immediately started wailing at the top of her lungs. At that very same moment Snow had a similar problem as she too screamed.
Doc gave the baby to an assistant and ran over to the screaming woman. As he was about to check on her he noticed the problem immediately.
"She's still having contractions I think another baby is coming!"
"What do you mean you think?! What are you talking about?! What's happening?!" Although Snow said this with an enraged tone her eyes betrayed her fear. If there was to be a second child, then how would she protect two children with only one wardrobe?
"We're sorry we didn't know!" Doc seemed panicked, which did nothing to ease Snow's worry. Seeing the reaction his panic was causing Doc took a deep breath and immediately calmed down.
Five minutes later and Snow White and David were now the parents of twin baby girls.
The Blue Fairy made her presence known by coming through the door just as Doc started cleaning the baby. She was supposed to be with the fairy's preparing, but this seemed more important at the moment, and she came as quick as she could.
"Were sorry we didn't know you were having twins." Snow's eyes shone with hope at the Blue Fairy's entrance hoping that maybe both of her daughters would be able to escape Regina and her wrath.
It was not to be though.
Sensing the question the Blue Fairy continued, "I'm sorry there's nothing we can do." The Blue Fairy had shame clear in her eyes as she explained this.
"Please, please, please there has to be something you could do, anything, PLEASE?!" With every word she uttered Snow sobbed more and more until she was a crying screaming mess.
Through it all David did the only thing he could, holding and comforting his wife. David also looked at the Blue Fairy with pleading eyes.
"There is something," at those words both parents seemed to straighten up with hope. "It is however very dangerous and I don't know if it would even work."
They wouldn't back down from whatever challenge comes their way to save their child.
"What is it, why not say something earlier, and why can you only use it now." David said with confusion, his eyes narrowed suspiciously.
"This… method of saving her… I don't know what would happen exactly. Just that she wouldn't be here anymore. The only reason I even have enough power to do it is because she's so small. It was a last resort for when nothing else worked. Thankfully though we found the tree and made the wardrobe. Now, because of this new development it is the only way to save both daughters. Alice's destiny has yet to unfold." If it had been any other day they probably would have recognized the knowing way she uttered the last sentence, but they did not.
As the Fairy was concluding her explanation, Doc went over to Snow and handed her the twin girls. Snow looked down at them as they snuggled deeper to her and her eyes again misted up, though this time in joy. David too looked down at them with a proud happy smile, but his eyes still had worry in their depths.
They both looked up at the Blue Fairy, though Snow did hold the girls slightly tighter to herself almost as if she didn't want to let them go.
"What are you talking about, what other way?" David demanded getting back to business.
"I would transport her away. The only problem is I don't know where."
Both parents looked slightly horrified at the prospect. At least with Emma they had a slight idea of where she was going. Yet now with their other daughter, they would have no idea, would she end up somewhere safe or even have someone to take care of her as she grows older?
The resounding thought through both parents' minds was "Better the devil you know." At least with the Blue Fairy their daughter would have a chance and they knew that she was trying to protect her as best she could given the circumstances.
With Regina there was no chance her 'take away all the happy endings' isn't exactly a nice prospect, so everyone knew something terrible was about to happen.
"Okay." Snow uttered softly almost inaudibly as she looked down at her babies.
"Please just… give us a minute?" David asked just as softly as his wife.
With that the Fairy went away to give them some privacy.
"Are you sure?" David started.
"Yes. I didn't even know there was another way. I still don't understand why the Blue Fairy would hide this."
"I was wondering that too, do you think that there's more to this than what she's saying?"
"I don't know, why would she lie? Whatever happens I just don't want her to be hurt, either of them. So if there's even a chance, a tiny iota of hope that the Blue Fairy's solution will work, then I'm going to take it." If one was to look at Snow White's face now all they would see reflected is protection and her unwavering will.
"Ok."
Although her husband now agreed, she still didn't look any happier with the Blue Fairy's idea.
"We never named her."
"I chose the name Emma, why don't you choose her name, Snow."
After a moment's hesitation, she looked down at her daughters and said, "Alice, lets name her Alice."
David just smiled in response.
The Blue Fairy, sensing that the conversation was over came back to the bed.
But before she could utter a word, Snow interrupted her, "We'll do it, but first I need you to make her a blanket like Emma's but with her name 'Alice' on it. I may not be able to raise her but I sure as hell am going to name her "
The Blue Fairy did as she was asked, and after a moment of thought gave a small protection charm to the baby.
The Blue Fairy thought to herself 'This should protect her for a little while since I don't know where she'll end up and she may need it.'
She gently took Alice out of Snow's arms. With every passing second more pain flashed on the Queens face as slowly she let go of her daughter. This may be the last time she would ever get to hold either of the twins.
The Blue Fairy held the baby close, and slowly gathered all the magic she could reach. Then with one thought Alice, daughter of Snow White and David was sent to the unknown. Alice's last moment in Fairy Tale Land that day would be of the Blue Fairy as she fell bleeding from her nose and ears and the screaming cry of her mother vibrating in her ear as she vanished.
AN:
Hi I'm pretty new to writing so go easy on the reviews. Only wrote one other fic and deleted it, would've sent that to a special corner of Hell for how horrible it was but, I couldn't get around to it. Anyways that was a couple of years ago and a whole other fandom. Reviews are welcome but not enforced so no holding chapters hostage. All I ask is for constructive criticism. 'While you die in a hole you bastard, Salinger is rolling over in his grave' is funny, it's also not helpful, but hey I don't judge do what you like. Anyways if anyone could Beta that would be greatly appreciated as this chapter is not so please excuse mistakes. Next update should be a week at the very most. Yes this will have a pairing pretty sure I already have who she's gonna be with. Warning: It will be Femslash
