We Can Last Forever
Every little look inside your eyes
Is all it takes to make me realize
We can last forever.
With every little moment we can share,
Gonna let you know how much I care;
I'll always be there….
Chicago – We Can Last Forever
When he was three years old something strange started happening to Jonny. He discovered that when he talked to insects or reptiles, they talked back to him in his mind. One evening while he was outside playing 'Old West' in the yard he felt something brush against his leg and looked down to see a garter snake there. His mother couldn't see the snake since he blended into the grass and she was sitting on the patio while her husband cooked dinner.
"Hi."
Hello, little one.
"What'cha doin?"
Just wandering about a bit. These grounds are quite comfortable for me to wander around in.
The snake sensed that the child was one of those of legend, possessing the ability to befriend and communicate with animals. The town's resident veterinarian Doctor Doolittle had that ability.
"Yeah my daddy takes real good care of it when he's not havin ta listen to people 'plain about their problems all the time."
Who is your daddy if I might ask?
"Umm…his name's Archie Hopper here but Sella says he useta be a cricket named Jiminy."
So your father was once an insect? How?
"Umm…he got 'chanted by the mean Blue Fairy and the goat lady but my mommy kissed him an turned him back into a guy."
I see.
"What's your name?"
I don't have one.
"M'gonna call ya Zach. Ya like it?"
Yes…I do like it.
"You wanna stay with me?"
Your parents won't mind? Some of them dislike snakes.
"You're not like the bad snakes and bite people and give em poison, are ya?"
No. Frogs, rats and insects are what I feed on and I'm not poisonous.
"Okay….you can sit in here till we get in the house." Jonny pointed at his hat.
"Jonny, Sella, time for dinner!" they heard their father call from the kitchen. Jonny scooped up his hat with Zach curled up inside and ran into the house. He hid the snake in his room not wanting Pongo to get at it.
He was so excited about his new friend that he didn't eat as much as he usually did at dinner. Archie looked up from his plate. "Are you feeling okay, Jonny? You've barely touched your food."
"M'not hungry Daddy."
Marie arched an eyebrow. "Are you sure, sweetie?"
"Uh-huh."
His parents looked at each other. Their son only ate lightly when he was ill. Marie felt his forehead for any signs of a fever.
"Mommy, I not sick!" he protested.
"Didja sneak some of Uncle Rumple's cookies again?" Gisella teased. Rumplestiltskin always baked his Golden Delights cookies for the family's Sunday dinner and always sent a batch home with the Hoppers. Jonny had a habit of eating too many of them between meals.
"Nuh-uh," the boy protested. "Just not hungry s'all."
"Well, don't think you'll be spending all night eating junk food," Marie warned.
Jonny knew Zach had to be hungry but he wasn't sure what to feed him. They didn't have any rats in the house; his Uncle Rumple always said rats lived in filth and their house was never filthy because his mommy and Mary Poppins kept it clean. He would have to ask the snake after his parents tucked him in.
The snake educated the child as best he could on his dietary habits and curled up on the pillow above the toddler's head so that he wouldn't get hurt if Jonny had to change sleeping positions during the night or the child wouldn't get hurt since he had a tendency to bite if he were attacked.
I've already eaten so you can go to sleep Jonny.
"Okay. Night Zach."
Good night, little one.
"OH MY GOD! Archie, there's a SNAKE! A SNAKE! In our son's bed!" Marie screamed in horror when she went into her son's bedroom the next morning to wake him up, bringing her husband running down the hall into the child's bedroom along with Gisella.
"Mommy, he's a good snake, he only eats frogs an' stuff, he's not poisonous, his name's Zach." Jonny informed them.
"Cool! You can hear what he says?" Gisella asked her brother.
"Yup."
"Whoa! It's like Crocodile Hunter!"
"How...how is this even possible?" Marie gasped.
"I used to be able to talk to all animals when I was a cricket Marie," Archie answered.
"Yes...but...snakes?!"
"Snakes are good, Mommy. They eat rats an' stuff." Jonny put in petting Zach who was now curled around his wrist.
"Y...You don't want to keep it, do you?"
"Maybe Jonny has magic like Adriana," Gisella remarked.
Her son gave her a puppy dog look.
"I don't know..."
"It seems harmless enough, Marie. But I expect you to take care of it Jonny...no letting it wander loose and scaring people," Archie advised.
Marie glared at her husband. She despised snakes as much as she despised insects.
"Mommy, he's my friend . . . and he won't bite anybody less they try to hurt him . . .or me." Jonny held the snake out to Marie. "Wanna pet him? He's smooth, not slimy."
She cringed. "I fall in love with a former cricket and now our son is a snake charmer..."
Archie looked thoughtful. "Maybe we ought to call up Rumple and tell him."
"Yes...we better." Marie did reach out and touch the snake for a moment and realized her son was right but she still wasn't comfortable with the reptile in the house.
They should have expected their son to have some sort of magical ability, after all he was a true love child and his father had broken one of the most powerful curses in all the realms.
"Mommy, and guess what else? I talked to a moth last night . . .and a firefly!" their son declared brightly.
"What!?" Marie almost passed out. "I...insects..."
"He's like Bug Boy!" Gisella yelled.
"We are not going to have insects all through the house!"
"Awww! But some of them are nice!" her son cried.
"You warmed up to a cricket darling," her husband reminded her.
"There's a difference...you were an enchanted insect...not born one!"
"So just talk to 'em outside," Gisella suggested.
Marie sighed. "Jonny, no bringing them in the house unless you have to, please?"
"Have you talked to any of the crickets yet, Jonny?" his father inquired.
"Not yet but I'm gonna today. Only ya can't eat 'em, Zach!"
The snake hissed a reassurance and looped himself around the boy's waist, like a living belt of bright colors.
"I'll go with you then."
Archie was curious about his son's new talents and wanted to see them for himself.
"Okay! Now I want some eggs n'cheese an' sausage, please!" The child jumped out of bed wearing the living snake belt over his cowboy pajamas.
"All right, all right, I'm going!" his father chuckled and followed his son downstairs to the kitchen.
"Snakes…insects…my house is going to become a pit stop for the…ohhhh I don't even want to think about it!" Marie cried, throwing up her hands in despair.
The Golds arrived after lunch. Rumple barely got in the door when Jonny ran up to him with Zach coiled around his wrist, "Lookit Unca Rumple. I have a new friend. His name's Zach!"
"I see that. Your daddy said you can talk to him and he talks back to you."
"Uh-huh. I can talk to other stuff too like bugs."
"That's so cool!" exclaimed Adriana. "Wait'll I tell the Happy Army!"
Belle grinned at her sister.
"Not…one…word!" Marie said through gritted teeth.
"Oh, come on Marie. You have to admit it is a bit ironic….your husband used to be a cricket and now your son can communicate with them…and reptiles."
"All the things that either scare me half to death or give me the creeps!" she moaned.
"You wanna meet Zach?" Jonny asked his cousin.
"Uh-huh."
The two toddlers raced upstairs to Jonny's room. Jonny took Zach out of his cage and handed him to his cousin. The snake draped itself over her shoulders like a shawl.
She is a special child too with the ability to heal.
"Yeah I know. Driana can heal her Happy Army when they's sick, right Driana?"
"Is he talkin' about how I help people not be sick or have frownies?"
"Yeah. Somethin like that."
"Marie seems a bit put out by all this," Rumple remarked to his brother-in-law.
"She doesn't like snakes any more than she likes insects. She almost killed me with that damned broom if you remember."
Rumple giggled. "Of course I remember, dearie. She's going to have to get used to it just like I have to get used to everything Adriana does. I'm just curious to see what abilities the others will have."
"I'm almost afraid to find out."
Later that night the family gathered outside and watched with wonder while the toddler sat on a blanket in the grass with Zach and his father and spoke to all the insects that came to him like they were humans themselves, assuring them that they were welcome in their yard whenever they wanted to visit.
Archie smiled, recalling the nights he spent outside alone as a boy, listening to the crickets chirping, finding a few hours of peace in his otherwise lonely existence. Now here he was…years later, a man with the beautiful home, a successful medical practice and a wonderful family. He couldn't have asked for more.
"…ARCHIE!" His wife's terrified screams woke him out of a deep sleep later that night. He jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom and slipped on the towel Marie placed on the floor beside the shower stall.
"Marie….what's wrong?" he asked when he grabbed the towel hook and pulled himself to his feet. He opened the stall door and found his wife standing in the corner shaking.
"Get it out of here! Oh God…get it out!" she moaned, pointing at Zach on the floor near her feet. "He knows that thing is not supposed to be out of its box so what the hell is it doing in my shower?"
Archie groaned. "Come on Zach," he urged. The snake slithered over to him and wrapped itself around his arm. He went down the hall to his son's bedroom and flipped the light switch. The lid to Zach's cage was off. "John Wayne Hopper, you have some explaining to do."
The toddler sat up and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. "Daddy…what'cha doin with Zach?"
"What was Zach doing out of his cage? He scared your mother half to death!"
"Ummm…ummmm…"
"I told you if you wanted to keep Zach in the house, he had to stay in his cage at night. Now why was the lid off?"
"Ummm…I forgot to put it back on."
Archie put the snake back in its cage and replaced the lid then sat on the bed beside his son. "Jonny, didn't we have a discussion about being responsible when you have a pet?"
"Uh-huh."
"Then can you tell me how letting the lid off of Zach's cage is being responsible?"
"Ummm…s'not."
"No, it isn't," Archie agreed. "A lot of things could've happened and none of them good. If you can't take care of him like we asked you to, he's going to have to go back outside."
"Daaaa-dddyyy! I don't want Zach to go back outside!" he wailed.
"Then you need to remember that he has to go back in his cage at night or when you're not around."
"Okay…"
"I mean it," his father insisted.
"I won't forget, Daddy."
Archie kissed his son's forehead and ruffled his hair... "Okay, pardner, get some shut-eye."
"Night, Daddy."
When he returned to the bedroom his wife was standing in front of the bed with a blanket and pillow in her hands and a scowl on her face. "You, Archibald Hopper, have a date with the couch tonight!"
"What?! What did I do?"
"You were the one who talked me into letting that…that…thing in our house. Where is it going to end up next? In our bed!?"
"I had a talk with him about that and he's promised me it won't get loose again."
"You're still going on the couch tonight, mister! That damned thing scared me half to death."
"Marie darling, be reasonable."
"Out! Or it's a week, cricket!"
"Damned stubborn woman! I'll give you half the night…half the night and you'll want me back in bed," he challenged.
She crossed her arms over her breasts and glared at him. "Oh, is that so? I slept alone a long time before you came along so don't think I can do it again!"
"You hate going to bed angry as much as I do," he argued. "All right my goddess, if that's the way you want to play it, fine. But you'll want me back in bed before the night's over."
She thrust the pillow and blankets at him, and gave him a shove out the door, slamming it behind her. He shook his head and went downstairs to try to make himself comfortable on the couch though he knew his neck and back would be sore in the morning.
Upstairs in the bedroom, Marie tossed and turned, trying everything she could to make herself comfortable but it was no use. She missed sleeping in her husband's arms or even curling up beside him but most of all she couldn't stand going to bed angry with him over something silly. She may not have liked having snakes and insects around but they made her son happy so she had to get used to it and as her husband pointed out many times he was once a cricket and she did warm up to him.
She got out of bed and went downstairs. Her husband lay on the couch asleep. She could tell from the position he was in that his neck and back were going to be sore and crawled onto the couch with him.
"I missed you," she murmured.
His eyes fluttered open. "Does this mean we can go back to bed?" he asked hopefully.
"Call it a compromise. I can't sleep when you're not there to hold me."
"Damned stubborn woman," he muttered. He wrapped his arms around her and fell back to sleep. They could be uncomfortable together.
Though it wasn't officially their 'date night' Archie and Marie wanted nothing more than to go to the Chicago concert they talked about before they got married but having Jonny so soon after put their plans on hold for a while. Marie kept checking the band's website to see if they would post a date for a show in Maine but she never found one. Instead they started focusing their search on areas close to them and discovered the band would be in Boston with Reo Speedwagon, another favorite band of theirs.
They'd given Mary the week off to take a little vacation of her own and Rumple and Belle offered to watch Jonny and Gisella while their parents were out of town. They booked themselves into the same hotel they planned to stay in before their elopement plan was foiled and wouldn't return home until sometime the following day.
"All packed up, Princess?" Archie asked Gisella. She pointed to the suitcase on the floor. Archie picked it up, gasping. "Sella, what did you put in here?" Your whole closet? You're only staying at Uncle Rumple and Aunt Belle's for the night, not a week!"
"Ummm…well, I didn't wanna forget anything…"
He opened the suitcase up, frowning. "You don't need all these things, just your clothes, Rose, Major Tom, and your Nintendo. Belle already has these movies at the house for Adriana. No need to bring yours along, now take some of that out of there before I dislocate my shoulder."
"Okay," she grumbled. When nearly all of the items were out of the suitcase she looked up at her father.
"Better." He kissed her cheek. "Let's go round up your brother."
"….Jonny….come back here!" Marie cried. Her son was running around the yard pretending he was Sheriff Woody from Toy Story chasing the toy torturing kid Sid.
"You not gonna strap me to a rocket cause I'm gonna send ya into orbit!"
"Jonny, let's go. You need a bath before we go to Uncle Rumple's."
"Mommy, m'playin!"
"You can chase Sid when you get back. Now come on…you're all dirty and you need a bath."
"Don't wanna bath!" he protested.
"John Wayne Hopper, do you want a date with the corner?" she threatened. "You have till the count of three to come over here."
"Awww!"
"One…"
"But Mommy!"
"Two!"
"Wanna play!"
Archie came outside just in time to see his son in the middle of one of his tantrums. "Jonny, bath time. Now," he said firmly.
The toddler crossed his arms over his chest and glared at his father. "No!"
"Oh no. We're not having that." Archie picked his protesting son up and carried him into the house. He certainly had the Bordreaux temper and rebellious streak like his mother but he also inherited his father's compassionate nature.
"Daddy…..I don't wanna bath!" he wailed.
"Do you want to go around looking and smelling like you fell in mud hole?"
"Yeah!"
"Well, you're not and you won't get to play with Adriana or the Happy Army if you're all filthy. You know how Uncle Rumple is about dirt in his house."
"And do you want me and Daddy to take custody of Duke for a week…or even Zach?" his mother added.
"Noooo!"
"Then let Daddy get you cleaned up."
"Okay!" he sighed. "Can I have some toys in here, Daddy?"
"All right but you're not staying in here until you look like a raisin." The toddler dumped all his Toy Story figurines in the tub and played with them while his father washed the dirt off him. "Good gods, Jonny! What did you do? Roll in it?"
"Was playin ambush."
"And who were you trying to ambush this time?"
"Jesse James. M'gonna catch 'im an throw 'im in jail an then m'gonna strap that mean Sid to a rocket an send 'im inta orbit! Daddy, can ya tell me 'bout the big mud fight again?"
His father chuckled. "I've told you that story at least a dozen times!" A small pair of blue eyes so much like his own gave him the puppy dog look. "Oh, all right. We were camping out in the forest near Avonlea when a pink carriage came along and in it was one of Mommy and Aunt Belle's old enemies, a nasty harpy named Axelle Villette…."
An hour later they got their son dressed and drove him and his sister over to the Gold house.
"At least this time you're not trying to go to Boston to elope," Belle teased. Marie swatted at her.
"No…but if we decide to renew our vows we just might do it anyway."
"Have a good time, dearies," Rumple said. "And don't worry about the wee ones….we'll keep them in line."
"Famous last words," Archie joked. "Now you behave for Uncle Rumple or you have dates with the corner when you get home…understood?"
"We will," Gisella promised. "Won't we, Jonny?"
"Yup!"
Archie picked up Gisella and hugged her. "We'll see you tomorrow, Princess."
"Have a good time, Daddy."
Archie kissed her cheek and set her down then picked up his son and hugged him too. "See you tomorrow, pardner."
"We gonna play Old West tomorrow, Daddy?"
"Yes, but I want to be the sheriff this time." Archie chuckled.
"Nope. Yous gotta be Jesse James so's I can hunt ya an toss ya in jail."
"What if I get my girl to spring me?" Archie winked at his wife.
"Then she's gonna go t'jail too."
Archie pretended to pout. "Sure…ruin my fun!" His son smirked.
"We'll see you tomorrow," Marie hugged and kissed both of her children and they got in their car to drive to Boston.
The couple could hardly contain their excitement. They were going to be hearing two of their favorite bands playing their favorite songs separately…and together in the same night.
"If I don't hear our song I'm going to be very disappointed," Marie said when they found their seats in the Blue Hills band Pavillion. "I don't give a damn if Peter's not the one singing it….I just want to hear it!"
"They're supposed to be playing a song from the new album too."
"Only one? It's probably 'Now'….the first single but why not 'More Will Be Revealed'. I love that song!"
"So do I, darling but most of their fans like to hear the old ones too."
"I'm not a big fan of some of those 'old ones'…just the ones on the hits playlist you have on your phone. Now if they played all the stuff from the 80s and 90s, I'd be happy!"
Archie laughed. "You say that about REO Speedwagon too...and Journey…."
"Don't sit there and tell me you won't have a conniption if REO doesn't play 'Can't Fight This Feeling' when I know it's your favorite."
"What I love even more is the memory I associate with it…" he murmured.
She didn't need to ask what it was, she already knew and could picture it in her mind….their honeymoon, dancing together as he sang it to her…
REO Speedwagon played first, bringing smiles to their faces when they heard the opening notes of 'Can't Fight This Feeling' five songs later and again Marie was taken back to that night in Athens and in her mind she didn't hear Kevin Chronin's voice but her husband's though the song ended a bit early for them that night in a most pleasant way as the desire they'd been feeling all day reached its breaking point and they retreated to their bedroom.
REO Speedwagon performed eleven songs then retreated backstage to allow Chicago their opportunity to play for their fans. The couple knew it was not the same lineup they were used to hearing on some of the albums but it didn't matter. They just wanted to hear 'their song'.
As Marie suspected, the band did play some of the older songs she never listened to and a few that she did, only smiling when she heard the opening notes to the band's new song, 'Now'.
"If there's something you want to say
Then say it now
If there's someone you want to love
Then love them now
You don't want to miss all this
Cause it would be biggest mistake of your life
To never try!" Jason Scheff sang energetically.
That was us….three years ago, Archie thought. He could just imagine what the bassist would think if he knew he was singing to one of the fairy tale characters his children watched in movies.
"Kind of reminds you of us back then…doesn't it?" Marie asked her husband.
"Yes it does."
They and several other members of the audience began clapping in time with the music and Jason's vocals.
"If there's a song you wanna sing then sing it now
If there's a life you want to live then live it now…." Jason continued.
"'Cause it'll be gone, hold on
Don't you let your second chances get away, don't wait…" founding member Robert Lamm chimed in, earning applause from the crowd and the three lead vocalists began to sing the chorus together.
"'Cause now
This is the time we must start living in
Let's make a change while it's not too late
Let's make a place where love is happening
The world is going by
There's no greater time than now…"
The song seemed to speak of all of the people of Storybrooke, their lives torn apart by two dreadful curses over thirty years ago and tossed into a land they were unfamiliar with but with time standing still for so long they learned how to adjust. They didn't realize until the appearance of Emma Swan that they were all missing a crucial part of their lives…the ones who made them complete. Along with one of the curse casters, the exiled princess took a chance on believing in magic and restored everyone's memories so that they could take back their happy endings. As long as the second curse remained in effect, five couples in particular still stood a chance of losing everything. And on Archie and Marie's wedding day, they shattered that second curse and all the loves that were lost were rediscovered and new ones began.
The crowd applauded and cheered when the song ended and the opening notes to the next song began.
"Archie…." Marie whispered, tears coming to her eyes.
"They're playing our song…" he murmured.
Marie rested her head on her husband's shoulder while put his arm around her shoulders and drew her closer as they listened to Jason Scheff singing 'their' song, reliving some of the best moments of their lives in their minds.
"You know our love was meant to be
The kind of love to last forever…"
They went back to the Enchanted Forest when he was still a cricket and she was still known as Belle's former lady-in-waiting, a ruined woman who no longer believed in love was for her…
"No, Jiminy…love's not for me. It never will be."
"What if someone proved to you it would be? Would you take the chance?"
"Why are you asking me this?"
"Because I think that's what is missing in your life…a man to love you…and a father for your daughter."
"Well I won't find him here…if I ever will so there's no sense thinking about it!"
"What do you mean?"
"Rumple….he said in another land I would find a man who would love me and Gisella….but it's too much to hope for!"
"And I want you here with me
From tonight until the end of time…"
Once again it was their wedding day and they were in Rumple's backyard, she costumed as the Greek goddess Aphrodite and he as Adonis, at last speaking the vows that would bind them together; heart, body and soul forever…
"Archie...when I first saw you in our land...I made the mistake of thinking you were just an insect...something to smash with the broom. But in the time you were in Rumple's castle I got to see there was more to you but we didn't have enough time to find out if we could be more than that to each other. Then...the night you walked into the Foxtrot...and I saw the man behind the cricket I couldn't remember I felt drawn to you...though I didn't know why...
Before I met you, I thought true love was possible...for everyone else but me. I was a ruined woman…in both lands...but you knew that...and loved me anyway. And every time I gave you a reason to walk away, you came back. You came back because you didn't see me as a ruined woman...you saw me as someone who was given a bad hand in life and survived it and in its darkest moments you were there with me...giving me the strength I needed to pick myself back up after I'd been torn down…
You once told me that I teach the torches to burn bright but it's you that teaches them to burn bright for me…just when I think I'm lost in darkness…you light my way home…I love you Archie Hopper and I am going to spend the rest of my life making myself worthy of the love you've given me…"
"On our first actual date I told you I had a speech prepared for you…but for the life of me I still don't remember it now because I don't think it would've been what I wanted to say anyway." He gazed into her eyes before he continued. "You never thought true love was possible for you...and I didn't either...for me. I didn't think anyone could love me...first being the son of con artist parents...and then later as a cricket. And then a goddess walked into my life...
Even when the curses came and separated us...my mind may have forgotten you but my heart never did. I decided that night after we met at that damned club...scared as hell as I was...that if I didn't at least take a chance with you...I'd regret it for the rest of my life. And I still say it's you who teaches the torches to burn bright...for me.
When I start second guessing myself your light is all I need to see to restore my confidence that I can be the man I've always wanted to be. And now I am. I love you Marie Bordreaux...I always have...and I always will..."
"You should know everywhere I go
You're always in my mind, in my heart, in my soul…"
They were back in their suite in the Grand Bretagne in Greece during their honeymoon, enjoying their first evening alone since their wedding night.
"I'm corrupting you again."
"Now who's doing the corrupting, my goddess?"
"I'd fall from the highest pedestal for you, my Adonis…"
The scene changed and they were now in Rome standing before the Fontana Di Trevi after having gone to the opera house to see a performance of Turandot, Archie tossing a handful of coins over his shoulder into the fountain in the hopes that they would someday return and as a donation to the country's poor.
"Baby, you're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me sayin
No one needs you more than I need you…"
They were still in Rome, on the floor in their hotel, having just dealt with a terrible bout of nausea together, realizing that it was caused by something other than an exotic disease, their arms around each other and tears in their eyes when they realized their dream of having a child together would at last come true….
"I'm going to have our baby, Archie…"
"I love you!"
"I love you!"
"And I know, yes I know that it's plain to see
We're so in love when we're together
Now I know that I need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time
You should know everywhere I go
You're always on my mind, in my heart in my soul
You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration…"
They went back to the night of their first official date at Rumple's cabin, their first kiss…and the night they finally admitted their true feelings for each other.
"W...Where have you been all my life?"
"Nowhere I wanted to be."
"You know where I've been..."
"And it doesn't matter to me. How many times do I have to say it for you to believe it?"
"Maybe a few more..."
"I'd rather show you..."
"…Marie…"
"Yes…?"
"I love you."
"I love you too, Archie…."
"…When you love somebody till the end of time
When you love somebody
Always on my mind
No one needs you more than I…"
Back in the present, not caring what anyone else in the audience thought, Archie cupped his wife's face in his hands and kissed her.
"I'll love you till the end of time, my goddess…" he murmured.
"And I'll always love you, my Adonis…"
They found it ironic that the musicians in this land sang of everlasting love so often but there were so few couples fortunate enough to find it. They were torn apart by a curse and the obstacles they'd faced more often than not tore lovers from this land apart but they were a testament to the ultimate truth in every fairy tale….true love did indeed love conquer all.
