Chapter 10
Graham had saved their lives holding off Regina's men until his real employer turned them into cockroaches. "Blue!" Snow gasped. "You're alive."
"Regina?"
"There's no time." The Blue Fairy exclaimed before engulfing the young family in a dark cloud of purple smoke.
"No." The colour drains from Graham's face. It was a trick. He hasn't saved them at all.
He's sealed their fate. Snow's blood runs cold when she realises where they are. The Dark Castle. This isn't an escape. It's an ambush.
"Charming." she breathes out her voice barely above a whisper. He's holding their precious two month old who, to her complete astonishment has surrounded her family in an orb of white gold light. "She's shielding us."
David looked equally amazed but still kept his sword high and his girls tight to him. Regina had given up the pretence and spat. "You think a baby can stop me?!" Hurling a furious ball of fire she smirks, ready to hear their screams but, they don't come instead, the vengeful woman finds her own magic deflected nearly knocking her to the ground but, that doesn't stop her again and again she conjures deadly blows and again and again they are blocked with nothing more than a windy gurgle.
"Stop this Regina!" Snow pleads, seeing the woman she hoped to call mother physically consumed by her hatred. "It's not too late." David joins in. "You can still find peace."
"Yes. I'll find peace." The tortured woman said and for a moment, they thought she had finally seen sense. "WHEN YOU ARE DEAD!" Using every inch of magic she had Regina willed herself to destroy them. "We love you Emma." They said before they kissed her forehead and then each other. "I love you."
"This was their end." Snow reads "Until..." quirking her lips as their four year old interrupts.
"Then I save you Mama!" "MA! Yes, you did." Rubbing her growing son she melts when she feels her husband's kiss. "MMM. Did someone want her favourite story again?"
"Yes Papa. And then Bwue came and made you remember me." It was true, after Regina was defeated and Blue returned it was only fair to give them their time with Emma without making her relive her pregnancy. "She did MA!" Though, they still weren't sure how she managed to merge their two lives but, he didn't care as long as his precious wife and babies were with him. Safe and happy. Everyone was. Ruby and Graham had fallen in love and had three little boys, while his mother had become quite taken with their carpenter Geppetto and his boy though; she'd never admit it to them. As for Regina and his dear step-father… well, they got what they deserved but, he'd rather focus on the future not the past. Their story.
"And we all live…" They continue, watching her adorable head bob from tiredness "Happiwy Ever." Emma tries before falling asleep.
"After." Snow and Charming finish kissing her forehead before setting the book of fairy-tales down. That life is over but their new life has only just begun.
"I love you." They say every night as they kiss. "Always."
