Of course things just get worse or Lexi. David came over after the breakfast and dropped a bomb on Lexi.

Breakfast at Granny's

"I don't want her near my family."

"Snow, she's Henry's mother and Lindy's. She's going to be part of our life and our family." David said calmly although he was slowly losing it. This had been going on for a while and he was starting to lose his patience with his wife.

"Mary Margret, it's fine. Lexi is our friend, she's allowing me to see Henry whenever I want to and she doesn't even have to do that. She could have had me arrested because technically I'm not supposed to be anywhere near Henry until he's eighteen."

"You'll have him back Emma. You were in a bad place and you saw no other option. I'm suing her for custody. Not just of Henry for Emma, of Lindy too then we'll never have to see her again."

"What?!" David and Emma shouted together.

"Snow, have you lost your mind? Lexi is Lindy and Henry's mother. Lindy is only four days old. She still needs Lexi. Henry doesn't want to lose anyone in his family."

"Also, I can't sue her for custody. I gave up my rights, I can't take him away. If Lexi were seen as an unfit mother, then Henry would be put back in the system. Also you can jeopardize u David's chances to see Lindy. Even if you were to win, you'd have custody of Henry and Lindy not me and David."

"We'll get both of them just wait and see."

"That woman has lost her mind! They're my kids! I may not have given birth to Henry but he's mine as much as he is Emma's. She's not getting either of them! There my kids!"

"I never said she would get them. There's nothing she can show that will deem you an unfit mother."

"You better be telling me the truth. Henry and Lindy are my kids and I'm not letting your lunatic wife take them from me!" David went over and knelt in front of Lexi.

"I won't let her do that. I'll talk to her all I can. Emma won't let her do it either. I'm going to try to talk her out of it. I'll do my best."

"I'll fight her tooth and nail. She won't take my kids!" Lexi said sternly. David took her hands into his.

"No one is going to take our kids." Lexi looked at him when he said 'our'. "Yes, I said our kids. Henry and Lindy are as much mine as they are yours." Lexi nodded and hugged David. David hugged her back and for a minute it felt like everything was back to normal. David knew he was supposed to love Snow but maybe he wasn't. After all, the woman knew would never try to take a child away from its mother.

Regina smiled as she held the red glowing object. This is how she would take away Snow White's happy ending. By making all of her family hate her. She couldn't kill them all. Even though she was called the Evil Queen, harming a child is a line even she wouldn't cross. Henry was a child and she wouldn't harm him. Making Snow's family hate her was just as good. David would go back to Lexi, Emma and Henry wouldn't want to see her, and Snow would be alone once more. Everything would go back to the way it was supposed to be. How wonderful it would be when Snow lost her case and her child and grandchild and husband wanted nothing to do with her.

The next couple of weeks were hard on everyone, Henry especially. He had several interviews a week and had to make sure he never missed or replaced one word at any of them. Lexi was having trouble handling Lindy and the court dates. She had to leave Lindy with Rumple and Belle while she was in court. She stumbled into the shop one day after court.

"Lexi. What happened?"

"She's winning."

"What?"

"She's winning. Snow's winning. Her lawyer is saying there's no way I can care for them because I am one on maternity leave and two David makes more money than I do. With both his and Snow's incomes they can provide a more finically stable home for them. I'm going to lose my son and my daughter."

"No, no you're not. Don't worry I'm not going to let that happen. You're going back in a couple of weeks from maternity leave and money can't buy love."

"It can buy everything Henry and Lindy need."

"You have me to help you. I'm not going to let her take them. She has no legal right to Henry or Lindy."

"But David does. David doesn't want them to lose me but he has legal right to both of them."

"David has not seen his child! Being blood does not give you legal right!"

"Rumple, he was there when she was born, he stayed with me in the hospital, and he came to see her the day after the curse broke. He's been in her life." Belle came out with the baby who had just woken up. "Hi Belle." She walked over to her brother's girlfriend and took her daughter. "Hey there princess. How was your nap?" Lindy snuggled against her mother and put her head on her shoulder, still sleepy. "I guess it wasn't enough. Perhaps if you stop waking up three times a night we'll both get more sleep." Lexi rubbed her daughter's back. Lindy nuzzled her head on her mother's shoulder. "Let's put you back down for another nap then I can talk to Uncle Rumple and Aunt Belle some more." She went into the back and put Lindy in the pack-n-play that Rumple had bought for his niece. She slowly left her daughter and went back to the front. She got a surprise when she walked out. She saw David standing the shop. "David, what are you doing here?"

"I wanted to see how you were doing?"

"How I'm doing? Your wife is this close to winning this case and taking my children away. How do you think I'm doing?"
"I know you're upset and angry and I am too…" Lexi could see that he wanted to say more but didn't want to in front of Rumple and Belle.

"Guys, you give us a minute?"

"Just call if you need us." Lexi nodded and Rumple and Belle went into the back. Lexi turned back to David.

"What else did you want to say?" David walked over to her and looked at her. She raised an eyebrow with question. Suddenly, he grabbed her and kissed her just like he did on their fake wedding day twenty-eight years ago. Lexi was too confused to do anything else other than kiss him back. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck. It was when he tangled his hand in her hair she realized what they were doing. She pushed him away and covered her mouth. "David, we can't do this. You're married."

"I don't want to be married to her anymore. I want to be married to you again." Tears sprung up to Lexi's eyes.

"Don't say things you don't mean." She pushed him towards the door. "Good-bye David." She pushed him out the open door then closed and locked it. She sunk down the door while sobs racked her body. She felt arms circle her and turned around to cry into her brother's shirt. Just when she thought life couldn't get any worse, he sprung that on her.
