Ingrid knew the moment she approached the Ice Palace that people had been there. She sighed as she marched in, and immediately saw Sidney unconscious on the floor.

Ingrid with a wave of her hand poured ice cold water over him. He leapt up with a shout, scissor swinging out in front of him.

"Calm down, you foul." Ingrid sighed haughtily.

"I had her!" he shouted angrily.

"And now, you've lost her."

"Someone snuck up on me."

Ingrid rolled her eyes. "I think you might have reached the end of your usefulness." she coldly said, raising her hand.

"Wait!" he shouted, backing away, "I got the cuff on her."

Ingrid's lips curled into a smile.

She closed her eyes and began to mutter words quietly. Ice flew from her hands into the air, and out of the palace.

She opened her eyes and looked at Sidney.

"Now what to do with you?" she smiled, gliding towards him, and running her fingers down the side of his face.


Regina had managed to get Cassandra back to the mansion, she was still breathing heavily, but had calmed down a lot since her panic attack in the forest.

Emma, David, Snow and Henry, were waiting for the two of them inside. Cassandra poised on the porch. Regina put her arm around her.

"Are you okay?" Regina worriedly asked.

Cassandra gripped her arm, and looked into her eyes intently.

"I have to know that you are willing to do what it takes to stop them. Even if it means hurting Emma." Cassandra said seriously.

"It won't come to that." Regina forced a smile, and tried to lead Cassandra inside.

"But if it does." Cassandra insisted, pulling Regina back.

"Yes, I will do what's necessary." Regina quietly replied. She pulled her arm away from Cassandra and headed inside.

Cassandra took a moment to steady herself before she followed Regina, closing the door gently behind her.

Henry appeared in the hallway, as Cassandra arrived and wrapped his arms around Regina tightly.

"I'm fine." she whispered, holding him close. She gave his hair a light ruffle, releasing him. He smiled up at her, then looked round her towards Cassandra, who was standing awkwardly watching their exchange.

"I'm going to call Robin." Regina smiled, heading into her study.

Henry approached Cassandra, hand outstretched to her.

"Thank you for saving my mum and granddad." Henry said, trying to sound as grown up as possible.

Cassandra smiled, it was strange seeing him like this, so young, trying to act grown up. So unlike the serious man she knew, who only had rare flashes of fun.

"That's why I'm here." she replied, taking his hand gently, and shaking it quickly.

He smiled, and gestured for her to follow him through to the living room. She felt butterflies in her stomach, but she went to his side and followed him.

"So, what am I like in the future?" Henry asked, as Cassandra came to his side.

Cassandra let out a laugh, then steeled her face. "You're different. We're close though."

"How close?" Henry gently asked, he wanted to know more about the future, but so far his family was keeping silent about anything to do with it, or Cassandra.

Cassandra glance at the floor, stopping before the living room door, where the voices of Emma, and her parents could just be heard.

"Cassandra?" Henry asked cautiously.

"Call me Casey," She smiled, opening the door, "Brother." she whispered the last word, as she headed into the room.

Henry stood stunned for a second, then followed her in.


Regina dunked a towel into a bucket of cool water, then ringing it with her hands, dabbed at the screaming woman's forehead. Marion was running around preparing the things they needed for the birth.

Henry burst into the tent with more towels and a bucket of water.

"Where's Whale?" Marion asked, taking the towels from him.

"I don't know, no one has seen him, since..." Henry trailed off, looking to his mum, who was gripping the woman's hand, as she left out another scream.

"He's out drinking isn't he." Regina sighed, giving her hand a squeeze, she let go and headed over to Marion.

"Can you deliver the baby?" Regina asked quietly, Henry came close to the two of them.

"If there are no complications..." Marion nodded.

Regina looked at the cuff on her wrist, anger bubbling inside of her. She knew what day it was, knew why no one was really interested in being sober, but life had to go on.

"Mum." Henry quietly said, standing by the tent door.

Regina went to him, taking his hand in hers.

"What is it?" She smiled.

"Roland wants to visit the grave with the others." Henry gently said.

Regina nodded, it was the one year anniversary of the great battle, a year since Robin, Snow, and so many others had been killed. It made sense Roland would want to make the trip with the camp to the grave. She felt a lump in her throat though, the grave was not in the protected area, the risk was great.

"It is Marion's decision." Regina replied.

Henry nodded, "I am going irregardless."

Regina closed her eyes, composing herself. She nodded. Henry had grown up so much in the past year, and she knew she could not stop him.

"Just be careful." she whispered, "I'll try join you, if the baby has been born."

He wrapped his arms around Regina, they hugged, as the woman let out another scream.

"Marion," Regina called, Marion headed towards them, as Regina and Henry left their embrace. Regina squeezed his hand, then giving a smile to Marion, she headed over the woman in labour.

"Have you thought of any names?" Regina smiled, as she placed a renewed damp towel on her head. She was trying to ignore the slightly raised voices of Marion and Henry.

She smiled, "If it's a boy Callum, if a girl Cassandra."

Regina forced a smile, the idea of the name Cassandra immediately reminded her of the secret that the three women in the tent were keeping.

Before Blue had disappeared she had cast a multitude of spells to try and reverse the curse of the three witches, one had resulted in a prophecy of a saviour, born on the anniversary of the curse. Only the four of them knew about it. They knew the idea of another saviour would make the remaining residents nervous, especially after what happened to the last saviour. Regina refused to allow a child be raised knowing they would one day have to save everyone, it wasn't fair to put those expectations on a child. The others, except of course Blue, had agreed. Blue however was gone before anyone knew that Belle was pregnant.

Belle had only discovered herself the day Will Scarlet died. She had lost so much, with the disappearance of Rumple, and the death of Will.

"They are beautiful names, Belle." Regina smiled.

Belle was hit by another contraction. Marion rushed to her side. Henry appeared beside Belle, as Marion began to prepare herself for the arrival.

"I can't wait to meet them." Henry smiled, kissing his sort of Grandma on the head.

"Light a candle for us both." she started to smile, but it quickly turned to a grimace.

Henry gave her hand a squeeze and left the three women alone.

The labour which was nearly in its sixth hour, came to an end swiftly after Henry had left. Marion smiled as she washed off the baby, and handed it to Belle, wrapped in a blanket.

"It's a girl." Marion smiled.

Belle rocked the baby, tears of joy streaming down her face.

"Oh Cassandra, you are loved and wanted." she whispered, kissing her daughter's head.
