Chapter 7

Snow walked slowly over to the wolves whispering "Please work" to herself. Henry led the Emma wolf into the back yard, whilst Snow knelt down in front of the Regina wolf. After some thought Snow agreed David had a point, she didn't want to see her daughter unhappy but Snow also worried about Regina turning evil again. The petite woman pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind as she slipped the potion down Reginas' throat. Snow took a few steps back as red smoke surrounded the black wolf. When the smoke cleared Regina lay on the floor in the power suit she was wearing before becoming a wolf. David and Snow helped a disoriented Regina to her feet.

"Where's Emma and Henry?" Regina asked once her vision came back into focus

"In the backyard" Snow answered

Regina went to walk off but David asked "Do you remember what happened?"

"I was a wolf" Regina shrugged before running to the garden

"Mom" Henry called happily running towards her. Henry tackled her into a hug, which Regina happily returned

As soon as Henry moved away a white wolf jumped on Regina

"Emma" Regina said kneeling in front of her sons' other mother

The wolf licked Reginas' hand whilst the brunette used the other one to scratch behind Emmas' ears

"We can't change her back" Snow whispered from behind

Regina stood and turned to face the two idiots

"Gold only gave us enough for one" David explained "We… well, we were hoping you could change her back"

The three of them looked over at Emma playing with Henry

"Gold said we have to change her back, before the next full moon, or she'll remain a wolf forever"

"No" Regina said "I've heard of this, when's the next full moon? Why did you save me and not her?"

Regina was clearly angry so Snow tried to speak calm

"The next full moon is… tonight, we saved you because we thought you could change her back"

A tear ran down Reginas' cheek as she said, barely audio able "I don't have enough time"

Tears also made their way down Snows' cheeks as she collapsed in Davids' arms

"What about Rubys' cloak?" David suggested

"Won't work" Regina said

Snow and David took Henry inside to explain to him what's going to happen, as Regina once again knelt in front of the wolf

"I'm sorry" Regina freely cried, stroking the wolf. Emma licked her face and made a funny face with a head shake at the taste of mascara.

"I love you" Regina said giving the wolf a quick kiss on the head, then turned around to go and find Henry.

"I love you too" A voice came from behind Regina.

Regina turned around to see Emma stood there. The brunette ran over collapsing in Emmas' arm as they both fell to the floor holding each other. Henry came back out with wet cheeks but then smiled when he didn't see a wolf, but his birth mother. He ran over and collapsed on the floor next to them. Snow and David stood watching them from the doorway at the family on the floor. All five of them had happy tears running down their faces.

THE END


Notes- sorry if the ending seems kind of cheesy. Thank you to everyone who stuck with me through the story, and thanks for the lovely reviews.
