A Changing Tale

Set during episode 3x22...

As Henry sat there flipping through his book, he began to see something he never expected. It began to change right before his eyes. Words wiped clean and replaced as if a new tale was being added, only the story in front of him was the one of Snow White and Prince Charming.

He grabbed his cell phone quickly and raced into the back hall leading to the apartment Granny rented out. Settling in an alcove, he started to film the changing pages. As he did, he noticed his mother walk by with Robin Hood.

"Mom," he loudly whispered. "Mom."

She turned and approached him with her new boyfriend. "What are you doing back here, Henry? I thought you were over there enjoying the potluck."

Henry looked over at Robin. "Do you mind if I talk to my mother for a minute?"
"Of course," he replied as he placed a kiss on Regina's cheek and left.

Regina crouched down. "What's going on Henry?"

"The book. It's changing."

Regina tried to take it from him but he refused to let it go. Trying to turn the pages as needed to keep filming was difficult enough. She would just have to look from where she was.

"I'm taping the changes. I can't let it go," he pleaded.

"What's changing?"

"Grandma's story after she met Grandpa." He indicated the disappearing and reappearing words in front of him.

Regina seemed fascinated. "You know this may be why David has been unable to reach Miss Swan."

Henry was startled. "You think she fell into another portal?"

"It's the only thing I can think of that might be changing the past. Zelena's gone and for some reason after your mother stormed out she hasn't been heard from."

Henry turned the page and a picture appeared. It was his mom and Captain Hook dancing at a ball.

"Well, apparently, Hook is with her. Figures."

Henry just stared at his mom's picture. She was stuck in the Enchanted Forest again. Only this time in the past. Without any knowledge of how to get home. He hoped Killian would keep her safe, as his mother, Regina, was quite a powerful witch at the time with an axe to grind against anyone who stood in her way of killing Snow White.

Regina stood and smoothed Henry's hair in a reassuring fashion, before she straightened her skirt. "I need to go talk to Gold. Keep filming those pages. I'll be right back."

"Gold, we need to talk." Regina stood before him and Belle and indicated an area off to the side where no one congregated.

"I'm trying to enjoy the party with my wife, dearie," he sneered up at her.

"Belle," Regina changed tactics. "Do you love your husband?"

"But, of course," she replied with a smile on her face as she rested her head on his shoulder.

"Then you need to go. This is important, as what I might have to say could change the fact that you might have never been married."

Belle looked between Gold and Regina. They both nodded at her and she stood. "I guess I'll go ask Mary-Margaret if I can hold the baby."

"Thank you, Belle," Regina told her as she passed.

"Now what is so important that you sent my newly married wife away?" He indicated the seat across from her to sit.

"Emma." She sat on the edge of her chair, anxious not to be away from Henry for too long. She wasn't sure if he would still be in existence when she returned. "It seems she and Hook may have fallen into Zelena's time portal."

"And how would one surmise this, dearie?"

"Henry's book is changing." She tried to glance down the hall but too many people were in the way. "He's in the back filming the book. Emma and Hook were in there at a ball together."

Gold stood and Regina followed suit.

"Show me." He indicated he should follow her. They walked around the mass of people at Granny's in celebration of Snow and Charming's new child.

Regina was relieved to see Henry still there. She should have asked Robin to watch him, but she had been too concerned by retrieving Gold as fast as possible.

"Mom," Henry's voice shook.

Regina felt a bit of panic set in. "What is it?"

"Look." He held up the book the best he could as he still held his cell phone up taping it.

Before her was a picture of herself as the Evil Queen shooting flames at a trussed up Snow White attached to a pole.

"Well, that does not appear to be a good sign," Gold deadpanned.

Regina glared at him. His apparent need to understate the obvious had always drove her a little bit insane. "I'm well aware of what this might mean, imp."

She carelessly sat next to her son and held him close. "It'll be okay, Henry. That family has a way of screwing up lives and still surviving it all. And Hook, too."

"That was reassuring, dearie," Gold chided.

"Stop criticizing what I say and think of something. There has to be a way of fixing this." Once again she glared at him, not that it seemed to effect him in the least.

"As you said, some things work themselves out and if I do know anything about Miss Swan and the Captain, they seem to come out unscathed from the most drastic of situations." Gold pointed down at the book, as Henry turned the page. "See, dearie."

Before them was a picture of Emma hugging a startled Snow White as Prince Charming, Red Riding Hood and Captain Hook stood nearby.

"She survived." Regina could even hear the relief in her own voice. For all that she had hated Snow in the past, she was happy that she lived. If she hadn't, Regina would have never had the chance to love the boy now nestled within her arms.

"Everything okay?" Robin asked as he appeared. "It's been a while since we've seem you and Belle was growing anxious."

"Yes. Yes, everything is fine," Regina assured him with a smile.

"Mom?"

"Yes, Henry?" She turned to look at her son whom she loved so much.

"How will they get back?"

Regina glanced up at Gold who gave a careless shrug. She looked back at Henry and offered a smile she didn't feel. "They'll find a way."

She gave him a hug. It was meant to reassure him, but Regina wasn't sure who needed the contact more. She wasn't quite sure it was possible for them to travel back through time. Zelena had been the only one to figure out how to travel through time and she didn't reside in the Enchanted Forest.

"Don't worry, Mom. They'll find me again. It's in our blood." Henry smiled up at her. "We always find each other."
