Two more months the Enchanted Forest had passed by. The hero's have been looking for another way to stop Zelena but with no success. Only light magic could stop the Queen's long lost sister, with fairies magic not being enough… no one knew what other light magic would work.

Belle spent more time in the library now than she had before the threat to her baby was made. She hadn't had a restful night since, books were her only solitude, for escape, and finding a defeat for Wicked Witch. No one liked to see her this way, but they all knew there was nothing that could be done to help the ease expected mother.


"Belle, Belle." Snow quietly spoke and shook the pregnant brunette awake. She found her asleep in the library curled up in a chair with a book spread across her belly... yet again.

Fluttering her eyes open at the touch she saw Snow with her 2-month-old son in her hands. "Oh, hey Snow. Hi Gabriel." She gruelingly said to the pair while taking the boy's little hand

"Another sleepless night I assume?" The princess gave a look showing her known opposition to Belle staying up reading.

"I was looking in some old books on light magic. I didn't realize how late I was up, before I knew it I dozed off." Belle didn't want to look her friend in the eye and here how she shouldn't be up all hours reading. So she kept playing with baby's hands.

"I really wish you would quit doing this to yourself. You need to rest and all this stress is bad for the baby."

Realizing Snow wouldn't give up, she looked up from her son, back to her and answered, "Well maybe I am stressing myself out, but isn't that mothers do? They worry about their children." She said a little hostile. "I'm sorry. I-just-I can't stop thinking about. I know everyone wants me to but I can't."

"I know. I couldn't stop thinking about it either. Both times." Snow White said sympathizing as she painfully thought of the times her children's lives were threatened.

"You know I am grateful for everything you, Charming, Regina, Robin, Tink and everyone else has done for me. But I guess, not matter how hard I try-I just-"

"We're not the same as having your actual family."

Belle looked away feeling guilty for the words being taken right out of my mouth. She loved her "chosen family", but nothing could replace her other family. Rumple has been gone for almost a year and he missed the morning sickness, her late night cravings, rubbing her swollen feet, feeling their child kick for the first time. He missed it all. So did Neal. Who wanted nothing more than to be there for her, make it so this child didn't grow up the way he did. As well as her father, who she really hoped would want to be grandfather. No matter of child's blood. She had to go through her entire pregnancy all by herself. Now as it drawled to end, this woman now feared she wouldn't be able to keep her promise to Rumplestltksin and have to give birth alone as well.

"Well… I think I might be able to help with that." Snow White responded taking the former maid out of her head.

"What do you mean?" Belle didn't understand what her friend was talking about.

Gesturing her head forward, Snow answered, "Come on."


As the pregnant woman followed the princess, the castle's former owner and their fairy friend waited for the two at the front of the palace. "Snow, Belle." Queen greeted.

"Regina, Tink? What's going on is everything alright?"

"Everything's fine." Snow answered for the two ladies.

"There's just someone here to see you." Tinkerbell then finished.

"Someone, who?"

Right as she finished, Sir Maurice came walking through the castle doors with Robin Hood and Prince Charming standing right behind him.

"Father what are you doing? What is he doing here?" the former maid demanded coming to the assumption her friends knew he was coming.

"Take it easy Belle." Snow put her hand on her friends arm in attempt to keep her calm.

"He just wants to talk to you." David explained.

"I have nothing to say to him!" She attempted to leave but was grabbed in protest.

"Belle please." Her father spoke up. "Just give me 5 minutes. Let me say what I have to say. Then if you don't wanna see me ever again then I will listen, I swear."

She looked over at father thinking about his request, then signed in agreement. She really didn't want to hear anything after what he said to her at his last visit, nor did he deserve to even talk to her. However, if talking meant getting him out of her hair and away from her child, then so be it. "Can you give us some privacy please?"

Her friends obeyed her request and followed out one by one. "We'll be right in the other room if you need us." Robin told her as she nodded back.

Now alone, Maurice's daughter didn't beat around the bush, "Alright, you wanted to talk. Let's talk."

"Belle. I owe you a huge apology. I heard about the threat the witch had made to you and I want to help. My behavior the last time we met was inexcusable. Your mother would've been appalled at me. And I know you, and you never would've given your heart to someone unless they truly deserved it. I know I don't deserve to, but if you let me, I like a second chance. To you, and my grandchild."

Touched by his heart felt apology, she walked forward and brought him in for a hug. "Thank you father. You have no idea how much it means to me to here you say that." She snuffled as tears drew up in her eyes. Never had Belle thought this day would come finally come. She was putting the pieces of her family back together. Now she needed to get back Rumplestiltskin and Neal.

"Come, let me take you home and help take care of you the rest of your pregnancy. You'll be safe there, the Witch won't harm you or the baby."

"Father. I appreciate the offer to come home, but I can't leave. I'm needed here to help defeat Zelena. And they're my family too."

While disappointed with her answer, he wasn't surprised by it. "I understand. But if you ever need anything; you can come to me."

"Thank you papa." Belle hugged her father once again and then feet the child inside her kicking. As if showing the two adults how happy it was that its mother and grandfather made amends. She released her hug on her father to let him feel her stomach.


"Are you insane?!" Regina shouted at the others.

"Regina we don't have any other choice. Light magic is the only way to defeat Zelena. The fairies magic wasn't strong enough. Emma is only person that can stop her. We have to get back her and the only way is the dark curse." Snow explained.

"Need I remind you price of casting the dark curse? The heart of the thing you love most! Are you prepared to give up your beloved Charming because I will not give up Robin."

"Regina, love." Robin went up to his girlfriend and took her hand. "It's okay. You can do this."

"No." Regina was beginning to tear up. "I've lost love once before. I refuse to do it again. And I certainly won't leave Roland alone."

"He won't be alone Regina. He'll have you."

"I don't care," She paused to then emphasize her final words on the subject. "I am not going to kill you."

"Regina's right. We've seen the pain of children being left orphaned. Your son shouldn't have to go through it. I'll do it." David volunteered.

"Charming-" Snow was about to advise him against it when Robin interrupted.

"Mate your in the same position as me. I can't ask you to give your family up when I can't."

"We already lost Neal and Rumplestiltskin. We shouldn't have to loose any more lives." Tinkerbell reminded everyone.

"I agree. The price to get back with the curse is too steep. Perhaps if we keep looking we'll find another." Belle tried to convince the others.

"There is no other way. Any other way is cut off, and you don't just find magic beans just lying around. We're out of time; this is my daughter were getting back to, so it's going to me. Now it's time to defeat this witch once and for all. We're going home."


The curse was to be cast, and all return to Storybrooke. But thanks to Zelena they would all loose to their memories of the past year. Belle would have no memory of her pregnancy; Tinkerbell would completely forget everything that happened with Neal. Regina would never remember meeting Robin and falling in love with, growing to care for his son. Snow would wake up with no memory of her son, or husband's great sacrifice. As she sat on the ground next to Charming's body cradled her child who cried over the loss of his father, Snow suddenly had the most brilliant idea.

"Regina. I need you to rip out my heart." Everyone looked at the woman thinking she was crazy. "Charming's right. We have been of one heart since the day he woke me from the sleeping curse. If you split my heart in my half, we can both survive!"

"Snow. I know your love is strong, but this isn't like plucking a flower. How do you know it will work?"

"Faith! Belief! I believe my heart is strong enough for the both of us."

"But if you're wrong you'll die." Tinkerbell reminded she didn't think the plan would work either

And what about Gabriel? You wouldn't let my son become an orphan I don't want yours to become either." Robin reminded the mother as he held on his own son.

"He won't, I will be okay. And if I do die, then… I trust that Belle and Regina will take care of my son. Please. Please." Snow longingly begged as her last resort.

Still unsure of this whole idea, the former Evil Queen looked to Belle for conformation. If this failed, they would be responsible for shared custody of 2-month-old boy. If Belle had the chance to save Rumple this way she would take it. Even if it meant the risk of her child; when you find something worth fighting for you never give up. "Do it Regina."

As the mother let go of her child and handed him over the next mother to be, she looked down at her little baby one more time, in case it was her last. Crying over the thought of letting her other child grow up without her. She kissed him on his little forehead. "I love Gabriel."

In a split second, Regina went into her former foe's chest and ripped out. For so long she dreamed of the day she would be holding Snow White's heart in her hand with nothing holding her back to crush. As she looked back at Robin, and Roland, she was reminded how much she changed. So she split the heart and gave other half to Tinkerbell. Wanting to have someone else with magic help put the once full heart in the two lovers bodies. As they counted the friend's watch each half dissolve in the person's bodies. Charming remained unmoved for several seconds and let out a huge gasp of breath.

The others let the Charming family have moment together while Robin wanted a moment with his lover. "Regina. I know were not going remember me when we wake up in Storybrooke, but no matter what we will find each other again. And when we do I never want to spend another moment apart again. Will you marry me?" Roland pulled his hand out behind his back and hands his father a small red velvet box. Taking it, Robin got down on one knee and opens the box showing the diamond ring.

Even if she wasn't low on time she didn't need to think about her answer. "Yes." She put the ring on her left hand and pulled him for the most passionate kiss they ever had.

"Yay, yay! Regina's gonna be my new mommy!" Roland shouted jumping up and down.

Picking up the boy, she smiled and answered. "Yes sweetie, yes I will." Was the last thing spoken. Before a cloud of smoke wisp them all away to another land.
