Chapter 7

Gibbs kneelt down behind the chair and tied the last knot to keep Rumple in place, bound to the chair so he couldn't get up if Cora tried to use his dagger to control him.

"Dude where did you learn to tie knots?" Neal asked Gibbs upon seeing the really tight, fancy knot he had tied with the rope around Rumple's middle.

"Marines" Gibbs grumbled as he got back up to his feet, his knees protesting such movement.

"You were in the marines, cool, I was thinking of enlisting once" Neal nodded.

Gibbs looked at him a little surprised "What stopped you?" he asked as he admired his handy work.

"Ugh, I met someone and things didn't really go to plan" Neal explained avoiding the looks he was getting from his father and David, all three of them knowing that they were talking about his past with Emma. "So what unit were you in?"

"I was a sniper" Gibbs told him.

"Oh" Neal nodded with a little gulp, maybe Gibbs wasn't as weak and defenceless as they thought he was.

Snow then walked into the dark, back room, "The potion will be done in an hour or so" she answered the question they'd all been wanting to ask.

….

Meanwhile Jenny and Emma were working on the potion in Gold's back room, the blond looked at the redhead for a moment, she really didn't look that much like Cora or Regina but there was something about her, something that told Emma she was part of their family but she wasn't like her mother or sister, she was good, she was different.

"So…" Emma tried to start a conversation "You're from there then" she continued.

"Yeah" Jenny answered without looking at her, keeping her eyes on the potion. "But it was many many years ago that I left" she continued "In fact I barely remember what it was like"

Emma nodded "So why'd you leave?" she asked.

That's when Jenny turned to look at her "You know my mother isn't a nice women" she told her "I tried to get her to change that, to put her heart back inside her and she banished me to the everlasting forest" she took a breath "After a little bit of walking, Rumpelstiltskin appeared and we made a deal, he would take me to another land where I would be safe if one day I would come and help him face my mother and keep his family safe" Jenny finished.

"Wow" the hope nodded slowly.

"Why are you helping Rumple?" Jenny asked her after a moment, she having told the blond something about her so she thought Emma owed her some information.

Emma took a breath before she began to explained "Neal is my son's father so Gold is his grandfather, I didn't know who Neal was when we were together, not until the other day when I went with Gold to find him" she continued "Henry's legally your nephew"

Jenny looked at her a little surprised "Really" she smiled, she loved children, although doubted she would ever have any of her own as Jethro probably didn't want children after what had happened to Kelly.

"Regina is his adopted son" Emma told the redhead.

"He a good kid?" Jenny asked.

"The best, but then I'm a little biased" the blond almost laughed before turning to the potion in front of them "How much longer do you think it will take?" she asked her.

Jenny checked Rumple's old potions book in front of her "Another hour at least" she told her.

…

Regina sat behind her desk in her black and white painted office, watching her mother stare at the dark one's dagger, her mind reeling from seeing Jenny and her own sister having held her at gun point "Mother" she tried to get Cora's attention.

"Yes my darling" Cora smiled at her daughter.

"You told me Jennifer died in a horse riding accident" she said having been young when Jenny had 'disappeared' and surprisingly not having much memory of her although she thought she should have.

Cora walked over to Regina and reached out to caress her daughters cheek "I had to protect you from her" she told her, "She wanted to brain wash you, I wiped almost all your memory of her for a reason, I did it for the best for you" she explained but Regina flinched away from her mother.

"What do you mean brain wash me?" she raven haired women asked.

Cora stood up straight and ran a hand through her auburn hair "She thinks magic is evil, that we're evil" she told her youngest daughter "Don't you see she's on their side?" she asked her, "She's going to help them protect that Imp and keep Henry away from you"

"No" Regina's eyes began to water and she stood up, shaking her head "She wouldn't do that" she said.

"She has Regina, Jennifer is not on our side, she's not who you think she is" Cora told her daughter, "We have to get rid of her if you want to get henry back"

"How?" Regina asked her.

"We'll get Rumple to kill her" Cora told her.

…..

After the potion had been made and poured into a heart shaped container and tied with string to go around Rumples neck, meaning that he was safe from Cora's control, he made arrangements for everyone to spend the night at his small manner home.

Jenny and Gibbs were set up in one of the guest bedrooms, Snow and Charming in another, Emma in a smaller single guest room and Neal took the sofa, everyone was exhausted.

"Jen" Gibbs said her name as they both lay side by side in the double bed.

"Mmm" Jenny mumbled, her eyes fluttering open, her green meeting his blue.

"Why didn't you tell me all about this sooner?" he asked her, his voice still uncharacteristically soft and gentle.

Jenny sighed "You wouldn't have believed me" she told him.

"I would ha…"Gibbs began but Jenny cut him off.

"You didn't when I told you today" she reminded him seeing the hurt that flicked in his eyes, she reached out and ran her hand down his face and his hand shot up to grab her hand and entwine their hands "I wanted to protect you from her" she told him after a moment "And I couldn't even do that, she's just more powerful than me"

Gibbs' only response was to press a kiss to her hand that was entwined with his.

"I think you should go with Ruby" she told him "Mary Margaret told me she's guarding Henry, she can look after you too" she still couldn't bare the thought of him being hurt or killed because of her.

"No" Gibbs told her "I love you Jen, I'm not going anywhere, I'll be by your side not matter what, I don't care what your mother does" he told her.

Jenny smiled at him before reaching over and pressing a quick kiss to his lips "I love you, so much" she told him before hugging him close, both taking comfort in the beats of each other's hearts.

TBC…

I don't actually know how big Rumple's house is, I mean I think we've only seen it in skin deep when Mo French steals stuff from his house.

Anyway I hope you guys like this, once again Fashiongirl97 you are amazing!
