Something was wrong, of that, they were all certain.
After Robyn was born, Zelena had tried her best to make amends with the people around her. Which was why she had named the girl after her father. She wanted him to know that she was not only sorry for tricking him but also that she was willing to co-parent with him, whether either of them liked it or not. She was not planning on kicking Robin our of their daughter's life.
However, a couple months after Robyn's birth he left all by himself.
Robin had tried to live in Storybrooke after his breakup with Regina, yet he just could not adjust to the modern day town. He belonged in the forest.
It took a little time, and some help from Regina and Zelena, but eventually got his hand's on a multiplication charm to use on the magic portal beans. Since then, he had taken his son and his Merry Men back to the Enchanted Forest.
Then, for one weekend every month, he and Rolan would return to Storybrooke to visit Robyn... and so his son could get ice cream with Regina and Zelena.
Roland loved spending time with both of them since they were both like mothers to him. They had changed his memories to where he remembered Zelena taking care of him and not a fake version of Marian.
Every month for a year and a half this arrangement had worked, which was why they all knew something was wrong when neither Robin or Rolan had not shown up for three months.
"Robin may not have been the best boyfriend, but he is a good father. He wouldn't miss time with his daughter if he could help it. So where the hell is he?" Regina asked as she sat in-between her lovers across from her sister and Belle, with Robyn sitting between them, in their favorite booth at Granny's.
"No idea," Zelena said after taking a sip of coffee, "but I'm honestly starting to get worried about him and Roland."
"Ro?" Robyn perked up at the sound of her big brother's name and began looking around for him.
Belle ran her hand through the toddler's hair, "Sorry little one, Roland isn't here yet." Her heart panged as Robyn's face fell.
"Don't worry, Monkey." Zelena put her arm around her daughter, "I'm sure you'll see him soon enough," she said hoping she was right.
The reassurance did not seem to help though as Robyn continued to pout.
"Hey, Robyn, look," Mal distracted the young girl by pointing to one of the coloring placemats in front of her and magically changing it to a picture of an elephant just like her favorite stuffed toy.
Robyn smiled and grabbed the nearby crayons and began scribbling the elephant green.
Belle and Zelena mouthed a thank you to Mal while all them grinned at the now distracted toddler.
"So can anyone think of a way to reach them, so we can figure out what's going on?" Emma said going back to the conversation.
Zelena shook her head, "Not unless we go the Enchanted Forest ourselves."
Maleficent looked up from watching Robyn color. "I'm worried about the boy, and his father too I suppose," she muttered that last part making the others smirk, "however, would it be wise to risk going back to the forest? We wouldn't know what we would be walking into and we do have other responsibilities here." She gestured to Robyn as an example.
"It's much safer now though," Belle spoke up. "Since we learned how to duplicate the beans from those charms you two made," she nodded to the Mills sisters. "That is how Robin has been getting here every month after all."
"Until now," the dragon said pointedly.
"Mal's right," Emma said as she took a fry from her plate. "There's no telling what may be going on back there, no way to prepare." She frowned as Regina swiped the fry from her hand and popped it into her own mouth.
The mayor flashed the sheriff a sweet smile before speaking, "I would agree if it was just Robin we were talking about. He can take care himself, but Roland is only seven."
"Exactly," the redhead agreed with her sister, "As much as I hate having to share my daughter, I miss Roland. If something's happened..." she trailed off not finishing the sentence. She and Regina both looked at each other grimly. Both of them dreaded the idea of anything happening to the boy.
Belle reached for her girlfriend's hand, "Then I guess we have a decision to make."
"Let's put it to vo..." Emma was cut off by her phone ringing. She pulled it out of her pocket and looked at the collar ID before answering.
"Hey, Dad." She was quiet for a few moments as she listened, then her eyes went wide, "What kind of portal?"
The question got all the adults attention. They all shared a look before Emma spoke up again, "Okay, we'll be in there in a few."
"What's happened?" Regina asked as Emma put her phone away.
"Not sure. He just said we all need to get down to the station. Now."
"Us too?" Zelena pointed to herself and Belle.
"That's what he said."
"Well then," Mal stood up, "I suggest we get going."
Zelena packed away her daughter's art supplies with a promise that she can play with them later. Belle stood and put the girl on her hip as Regina left the money for their meal on the table.
As soon as they were all out the door, Maleficent summoned her magic to poof them all to the station.
Once the group appeared in front of the sheriff's station they immediately entered to see David sitting at his desk. In front of him, with his back to the women, was a little boy with very recognizable curly hair.
"Roland?" both of the Mills sisters exclaimed at the sight of him.
The young boy turned and had an instant smile on his face at the sight of the women, "Regina! Zelena!"
Roland leaped to his feet so quick he knocked over the chair he was sitting in. He rushed straight into the arms of both women who had both kneeled down to his height.
"Ro!" Robyn started to squirm in Belle's arms trying to get to her brother. As soon as she was placed on the ground she wiggled between her mother and her aunt to hug Roland around his neck. The sisters laughed as they were pushed out of the way by the toddler.
"Hey, sissy." Roland giggles as Robyn nuzzles herself against him.
David had then walked over to Emma and whispered loud enough so that Mal and Belle could hear him too, "A portal opened up right outside, but he's the only one who came through. He won't tell me what happened or where Robin is."
That's when they noticed how drained Roland looked. His clothes were ruffled, which was not very surprising since he had been living in a forest. However, his eyes seemed to have lost some of their light and he looked like he had not slept in a while.
As he held onto his sister and still felt Zelena and Regina's hands on his back, he looked like he could break down from relief, as if he was being comforted after waking up from a nightmare.
The sisters must have noticed as well because they shared a look before turning to the boy.
"Roland?" the redhead asked softly, "Can you tell us what happened? Where have you been these last few months?"
The young boy looked up at them and bit his lip as if trying to fight back tears.
Zelena reached over and pulled Robyn away from her brother, which the toddler immediately began to protest, "Don't worry Monkey, you can play with Roland later. He's not going anywhere."
That must have satisfied her since she did not cry any further when her mother handed her back up to Belle. They all then turned their attention back to the boy.
"Roland, it's okay to be scared," Regina spoke softly, "but we need to know what happened so we can help."
Roland was quiet for a minute. His lip trembled as she tried to speak. All he could say was, "Daddy..." before the tears began to flow and fell forward into Regina and Zelena's arms.
"I'll leave you guys alone for a bit," David whispered again before turning to leave.
"Would you mind taking Robyn with you?" Belle asked, thinking it would be best that the girl did not see her big brother so upset.
David nodded and reached for the toddler, "Sure. Come on Robyn, we'll go for a walk while your moms and aunts talk." He reached out to take the stuffed elephant that Belle had pulled from her bag, knowing Robyn would not protest as much if she had it with her.
When David and Robyn left Regina stood and gently took Roland's hand in hers. She guided him into Emma's small office and had him sit in one of the chairs in front of the desk as she sat on the other. Zelena stood by Regina and leaned against the desk as the others went to stand on the other side of it, close enough to be there but not to crowd the boy.
"Roland darling, can you please tell us what happened?" Regina reached out to wipe some of the tears off his face.
"A lot," Roland mumbled, still looking like he could break down at any moment.
"Can you be a bit more specific sweetie?" Zelena smiled down at him to try to calm him. Though, it did not seem to work as Roland bit his lip to try to stop it from shaking.
"Roland?" Belle coaxed the boy to look at her. "You know you're safe here right? Nothing bad will happen. You're with family now," she said with a smile.
Roland finally gave a small smile back and then looked at Emma and Mal who smiled back.
"She's right, kid." Emma sat down in her chair behind her desk, "If there's one thing we're good at around here it's keeping each other safe. No matter what."
"Take your time Roland," Mal sat down on the arm of Emma's chair. "We're not going anywhere. Take a deep breathe and tell us when you're ready."
Roland nodded and did just that. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. His eyes were still watery as he began to speak more calmly than before.
"Three months ago... we went to a small village to rest and Dad thought that was a good time to go on our trip to Storybrooke. But right before he was about to use the bean...the village was attacked.
"I overheard Dad and my uncles saying their armor looked like the kind King George's armies used to wear. That they must have come back to the forest after the last curse broke and wanted to conquer all of it for themselves.
"I didn't know much about what they were talking about, but Dad kept telling me not to worry and that everything would be okay...but it wasn't.
"It was like a small war had started and my dad and my uncles fought with people from neighboring villages every day to protect those people there. The other army wasn't very big but they defiantly knew how to fight.
"A few days ago it finally looked like our side was about to win. Uncle John found where they had been setting up camp in the woods and they planned to ambush them the next day. Dad even said that we would probably be in Storybrooke by the next evening, but..." Roland sniffled as tears started to pour again.
"Go on sweetie," Zelena crouched down in front of him. "But what?"
"They left at sunrise and promised they would be back before dark...but they didn't. I waited with some of the other villagers until nightfall, but Daddy and my uncles still weren't there.
"I wanted to go...to go out and look for them but the grown-ups wouldn't let me. They made me stay there to try to sleep, but I just stayed awake all night...and then..." he swallowed and tried to calm down again.
"Then when the sun came up I was going to go outside to see if they were back yet...but that's when Uncle John finally stepped through the door...I could tell from...from his face that something was wrong...He gave me my dad's bow and quiver," Roland pointed out to the main area of the station where the bow and quiver were leaned against David's desk.
"He said that Dad fought hard and saved a lot of people and that the battle was all over and the village was safe, but my dad...," his voice cracked on the last word.
"Uncle John said the leader of the army had been shot in the leg and nobody thought he would still fight...until he reached for the bow he dropped and shot my dad in the back...He's dead...just like my mom...he's dead."
Zelena immediately kneeled down and Roland fell into her arms again as he began to sob. Regina kneeled by her sister, she held them both and ran her hand through the boy's hair in comfort. They both kissed him on his head as they whispered to him soothingly.
All the women's eyes had started to water after listening to what the child had been through. Emma leaned into Mal's side as a few tears leaked out, thinking about how yet another kid was now an orphan. Maleficent put one arm around her lover as her other hand reached out to hold Belle's who look just as distraught.
Several minutes passed before the crying began to lessen and the sisters slowly let go of Roland.
"Sweetie?" Regina spoke softly while still running a hand up and down his arm, "Can you tell us how you got back to Storybrooke?"
"Uncle John asked me yesterday if I would rather stay with him and the rest of my uncles or come back here. He gave me a couple of the beans my dad had made from the charm and said it was my decision. I said goodbye to them this morning and came here. I love them, but I just couldn't stay there anymore. Was that okay? That I came here?" he asked the question in a smaller voice as looked around the room to each of the adults.
"Of course it's okay, Roland," Belle walked around the desk and placed a warm hand on his shoulder. "You're family. You will always be welcome here."
"Belle's right, love. You will always have a home here with us," Zelena smiled at him and the smile grew when Roland hugged her again.
"Thank you," he whispered as he allowed himself to be held. He then peeked up from Zelena's shoulder to Regina. "Can we get ice cream?"
All the adults chuckled as Regina ruffled Roland's curls again. "Of course we can. Let's go."
She and Zelena held Roland's hands as they all walked out of the station. They saw David coming up the sidewalk outside and Robyn was handed back to Belle before he went back to the station.
Emma got in front of the sisters and kneeled down with her back slightly toward them, "Wanna ride kid?" Roland had always loved it with Emma gave him piggyback rides.
His smile was small but he nodded and climbed onto the blonde's back.
"Perhaps afterward we can go to the park? We can call Henry and him and Neal meet us there if you want?" Emma looked over her shoulder to look at him.
"Yes, please."
"I'll text Henry," Mal whispered to Regina, "You text Snow."
Regina nodded and happily noted that Roland's smile widened at the idea of seeing his friends again.
Later that day, with Roland's tummy full of rocky road ice cream, he and Neal were running away from Henry in a game of tag. Robyn held onto Henry's neck from her place on his back, enjoying the free ride through the park. Each of the kids was smiling, yet it was clear to the women watching them that the light that normally shined in Roland's eyes were still dimmed.
The five of them sat on a nearby picnic table, seated exactly like they were earlier at the diner.
"So, how are we gonna handle this?" Emma asked looking around at the other women.
"Well, if he's going to stay here he'll certainly have to start back to school at some point," Belle pointed out. "He hasn't been formally educated since he left for the forest."
"That's my Bookworm," Zelena smirked, "always thinking about the boring stuff. Ouch!" she cried out as her lover elbowed her.
"She's right though," Regina smiled at the two before turning back to watch the children, "but let's wait for him to adjust some. This can't be easy for him."
Zelena nodded as her grin disappeared and was replaced by a worried frown. "Should I...What do you guys think I should tell Robyn? She's bound to ask about her father at some point. She knows that if Roland is here then her father should be too. How much should I explain to her?"
"She hasn't asked yet," Belle squeezed the redhead's hand. "Perhaps she'll be distracted by her brother being here that she won't. Robyn normally plays with Roland more when they visit anyway. And if she does we'll just have to tell her the truth and remind her that she still has us, all of us."
Zelena smiled at her lover, thankful to have her in both hers and Robyn's lives. She then turned to her sister, "What about Roland? Where is he gonna stay?"
Roland had a room at both of their houses and normally stayed with both of them for a night during his monthly visits. The sisters knew that if Roland was going to adjust to life back in Storybrooke that he would need a permanent home instead of just switching between the two.
"I suggest we allow him to decide," Mal spoke up when she saw the pensive looks on her lover's and best friend's faces.
They all knew that both the sisters would love for the young boy to stay with them, as would their lovers, honestly. But ultimately it was Roland's life and he should decide, not them.
That was when all of the kids came back over to the adults, each still laughing and slightly sweaty from running around.
Neal was quick to climb up in Maleficent's lap, making the dragon smile and hug him tightly. Henry sat in the spot next to his aunt and Roland sat on his knee. Zelena felt a tug at her sleeve and looked behind her at her daughter.
"Goldfiss peez?"
The redhead grinned as she pulled out the little baggy full of crackers from her purse and handed them to the girl who had squirmed herself between her mother and Belle.
"Hey, Roland?" Emma got the kid's attention, "Come here, buddy."
Roland walked over to stand between her and Regina. As Emma placed an arm around him she said, "We have something to ask you."
"What is it?" Roland suddenly looked nervous. A small part of him wondered if the adults were gonna want to send him back.
"It's nothing bad, darling," Regina runs her hand through his hair hoping to relieve the boy's stress. "We just need to know where you would like to stay. With Henry and us," she gestured to her lovers and herself, "or with your sister, Belle, and Zelena?"
Roland bit his lip as he looked at each of them. He did not want to make any of them sad by not choosing them.
Belle picked up on the boy's fear, "None of us will be upset, no matter what you choose Roland."
"She's right," Mal said as she stopped Neal from reaching across the table to steal Robyn's snack and used her magic to conjure his own. "You need to choose the way that will make you more comfortable."
"We all just want what's best for you," Emma looked directly into the kid's eyes as she spoke. "So don't worry about anything else."
Roland nodded before looking around the table once again before turning towards Zelena and Belle. "Can I stay with you guys then, please? I've missed my sister."
"Of course you can Roland," the brunette said as both she and her lover smiled brightly, "In fact if you want we can go shopping for some extra stuff for your room tomorrow."
"I'd like that," Roland said in a stronger voice than before.
"You hear that Monkey?" the redhead put an arm around her daughter's shoulder, "Roland's going to live with us now."
Her little eyes lit up. "Really?!" she squealed with excitement when they all nodded.
All of them laughed as Robyn ducked under the table and crawled to the other side. She stood up when she was by Roland and jumped into his arms. She was much smaller than him, but it was so unexpected that Roland lost his balance and they both fell back on the grass while giggling.
Regina smiled at the sight, yet there was some sadness in her eyes. She would be lying if she said she was not disappointed by Roland's choice.
Mal was quick to reach for Regina's hand under the table and leaned over to kiss her cheek as the siblings continued to roll around on the ground. "It's okay to be a little sad Poppet," she whispered.
The mayor squeezed the dragon's hand and nodded a thank you to her.
Emma, as she heard Mal whisper to their brunette lover, leaned back a little and waited for the kids to calm down some before speaking, "Roland?" the boy looked at her. "Just keep in mind that you'll always be welcomed at our place too. You can come spend the night any time you want."
"Yeah," Henry stood up enough to see the kids still sitting on the grass, "I need someone to stay around with me to help kick Ma's butt at Mario."
Roland laughed as Emma rolled her eyes, "Thanks, I'd really like that."
"I come too?" Neal leaned his head back so he was looking up at Mal.
"You already come to stay with us all the time silly boy," Neal started to giggle as the dragon tickled him.
Regina laughed as well before turning to Emma to give her a light kiss, "Thank you, Baby." She then smiled at Henry.
She loved how both her lovers and her son were just as taken with the boy as she was. Knowing that they were willing to take Roland in with her and was still welcoming the boy into their lives made her heart swell.
"Now that that's all decided you guys should go play a little more," Zelena said as she started to put away Robyn's crackers, "We'll have to head home soon."
With that, each of the kids took off with Henry chasing after them once again
Two weeks later, Regina was in the kitchen with Henry. She was just about to take the chocolate chip cookies out of the oven when the doorbell rang. Henry took the oven mitt from her, "I got 'em. You go let Roland and the little cookie monster in."
She laughed and thanked her son as she went stepped out of the kitchen and was met in the entryway by Mal coming down the stairs and Emma walking out of the living room. All of them were smiling, knowing who would be on the other side of the door.
As soon as Regina turned the doorknob, Roland ran straight to her and threw his arms around her waist and Neal was right behind him.
This was going to be the first time Roland was staying at the mansion for the weekend. It just happened to coincide with the weekend the Charming's chose to go way to stay in a cabin in the woods, just the two of them, so Neal was staying with them as well.
All three of the women knew they were probably in for an eventful time with both young boys staying with them, yet they also knew it would be fun. Especially with the surprise, they had in store for Roland.
As the boys moved to say hello to the blondes, Zelena walked in and sat down the boys overnight bags by the door before hugging her sister. "You sure you all can handle both of these little monsters at once?"
Regina laughed as she and her sister separated, "Hopefully with the three of us and Henry we will at least be evenly matched."
"Hey boys," Mal placed a hand on each of the boy's shoulders. "You two go on into the kitchen, Henry and Regina have been working on some snacks for you."
"Cookies!" Neal yelled as he and Roland went off towards the smell of chocolate chips.
"Let's go sit down," Regina led the other three women into the living room. "Have his nightmares gotten any better?" she asked as she and her lovers sat on the sofa and Zelena in the nearby chair.
Zelena and Belle had both told the others about being woken up every night by the sound of Roland crying. Maleficent had even come over a couple days after Roland had moved in so she could soundproof Robyn's room from the outside so that she would not be woken up as well.
The first few nights Roland ended up sleeping between the two women, but then he became determined to overcome them by himself, however, he had not seemed to have any success.
Zelena shook her head sadly, "No, and he still refuses to talk about them."
"He probably thinks that if he does it will all become more real," the sheriff said softly.
Maleficent bit her lip and looked away almost guiltily as she avoided eye contact with any of the others, hoping none of them would notice her expression.
The redhead nodded at Emma, "I know the three of you will be fine, but if anything happens...?"
"We'll call you Sis, I promise."
"Thank you," Zelena smiled and stood up. "I need to get going. Belle should be back from picking up Robyn from daycare."
"Okay. If nothing happens before then we can all meet up tomorrow." Emma said as she and the others stood. She and Mal hugged the former witch before Regina left the room with her to walk her out.
"Bye, boys," Zelena called into the kitchen as she and Regina reached the door.
Both kids came back into the room to hug Zelena good-bye.
Neal wrapped his little arms around the redhead's legs, "Bye-bye Ze-Ze! Thanks for pickings me up," he said politely with a mouth covered with chocolate chips.
Zelena rolled her eyes before sliding down on one knee and placed her hands on the boy's shoulders. "You're welcome, but it's 'Zelena' little one. Say it. 'Zah-lee-nah.'"
The little boy giggled, "Ze-Ze, you funny."
Regina had to cover her mouth to smother her laugh as the redhead hung her head in defeat.
The older women looked back up at her sister, "He'll say it correctly one day, right?"
"Doubt it," the brunette smirked.
Zelena sighed but smiled back at Neal and hugged him before he ran back to his plate of cookies. She then turned to Roland, "You sure you have everything you need for tonight?"
"Yes," he nodded.
"Okay then, Belle and I will see you tomorrow love." She opened her arms wrapped the boy in a hug before she stood up, "Be good for Regina and the others, Roland. I love you."
Roland smiled up at her, "I love you too, Ma...Zelena," he blushed at his slip and quickly hugged Zelena around her waist once more before running off to join Neal.
The redhead turned to her sister with her eyes wide, "Did...did he almost call me...?
"Yes he did," Regina smiled, "Perhaps he's starting to get used to the idea of you and Belle being his parents."
Zelena grinned at the idea before another thought crossed her mind. "Are you okay with that? With all of this?"
The brunette was silent for a moment before she sighed and nodded, "There was a time when I saw myself as Roland's mother, and yes...it hurt a little when he wanted to live with you. But," she smiled and shrugged, "I'm content with being more of an aunt to him. I know that how great parents you and Belle are to Robyn and I have no doubt that you love that little boy just as much as you love her. Also," she smirked, "since I'm not his parent it gives me an excuse to spoil him more."
Zelena laughed, "I'm sure between all three of you that both of my children will be spoiled rotten." She stepped forward to hug her little sister. "Thank you, Regina, I love you."
"I love you too," she opened the door for her sister and said, "Drive safe," before kissing her on the cheek as the redhead walked out the door.
Regina quickly went to look in on the boys and saw that Henry had everything under control. She smiled at them before turning to go back to her lovers.
She walked in to find Emma sitting on the floor by the coffee table sorting a stack of board games to play with the boys later on that night. Every time the sheriff held up a game up and asked her blonde lover about it Mal would just nod her head and stay silent.
Emma heard Regina come in and looked at her worriedly as she nodded her head toward Mal, both realizing how quiet the other woman was being.
"Are you okay my cariño?" Regina sat down next to the dragon and reached for her hand.
Maleficent shook her head as if she was coming out of a trance but immediately righted herself and smiled weakly, "I'm fine Poppet."
Emma raised a brow, "Is this the part where we're supposed to pretend that we believe you?"
"Yes," the dragon mumbled.
The sheriff got up to sit on Mal's other side and held her other hand, "Well, that's not going to happen. What's up Beautiful?"
Maleficent closed her eyes briefly as she sighed. "I'm okay Kitten. Really I am," she looked to both Emma and Regina. "I just...I don't wish to talk about it right now."
Regina and Emma shared a look and nodded before the brunette spoke, "That's fine Mal. Just know that we're here when you need us."
Mal gave her a real smile that time, "I know Poppet. Thank you, both." She kissed the brunette and then the blonde laughed as Emma nuzzled into her neck when their kiss ended.
They heard the sound of young boys giggling and each of the women exchanged a mischievous grin on what they knew was coming. They had been planning it all week.
Roland and Neal appeared with Henry behind them. "Thank you for the cookies," both younger boys said at the same time.
"You're welcome," Mal grinned as she reached to wipe the crumbs from Neal's face. The sight of both of the kids smiling made her feel much better.
"Now," Emma leaned forward to with her elbows on her knees, "how would you guys like it if we all went out to play in the backyard?"
"There may be something special out there waiting for us. We got a little surprise to celebrate Roland being with us," Regina said as she placed an arm around Roland's waist.
"Really?" Roland looked to each of the women who nodded, "You didn't have to."
"We know, sweetie," Mal grinned at him, "but that doesn't mean we didn't want to get them for you." She reached over to brush some hair from the boy's face as he grinned back at her.
Neal went to stand in front of his sister and pushed on her shoulder as he jumped up and down, "What is it?!"
"Only one way to find out Little Dude," Emma grabbed her brother as she stood up only to place him on the couch where she had been sitting. "But you and Roland got to stay here with Henry for just a little bit longer."
Neal huffed and crossed his arms as he pouted. Henry and the women had the stifle their laughter at his reaction.
"Gives us two minutes and then bring them outside, please Henry," Regina asked as she and Mal stood up as well.
Henry narrowed his eyes suspiciously, but nodded, "Two minutes. Got it."
As the three women left to go outside the younger boys looked up at him, "Hey, I know just as much about what's going on as you two do," he shrugged.
Roland nodded as Neal huffed again. As they waited for the time to pass Henry had to practically hold his uncle to keep him from running outside.
When the time was up all three boys headed to the backyard. As soon as they walked out the door Henry scanned for Mal and his mothers but did not see them. He was about to shout out to them when he felt three soft orange darts hit him in the chest and stomach.
"Hey!"
He and the others heard giggling as Regina, Emma, and Maleficent all stepped out of their respective hiding places. Each had a large smile and a Nerf gun in hand.
Roland had always eyed the toys when he saw them on commercials, so the three had decided to order a few so all of them could have some fun with them.
Roland's eyes widened as he saw the three other identical Nerf guns propped next to the door. "Yes!" he barely had time to grab the toy before he was hit in the side with a dart too. "Hey!" he turned around only to see Emma laugh.
"Come on, men! It's battle time!" Henry shouted as he and Neal grabbed their guns. He did not waste any time shooting a dart at Regina's head making her shout and her lovers laugh.
All three boys jumped off the porch and went after the adults. The six of them laughed as they chased each other around the backyard until the sun started to go down.
