Charlotte's POV

Bam We landed quickly and my knees buckeled beneath me. My bad knee gave a prick of pain. I could pretty much walk now, but I was definitely still injured. I looked around. We were somewhere I had never seen before, surrounded by trees. I think it was the outskirts of Storybrook. Tiger Lily appeared suddenly next to my dad, followed by Neal and Jason, and then Robyn and her dad. We all stood up and brushed ourselves off. Robyn walked about 25 yards away.

"Guys, look." she exclaimed. I couldn't run, but I fast-walked with the others over to her and looked off the edge. Below us was Storybrook. I could see everything from here! In the distance, I could see our grey house. A bit closer was Granny's and outside was, wait! It was the legendary (in Storybrook) yellow bug parked just outside Granny's. I never thought it would be so good to see that old car. Mom rarely drives it anymore, but she never wanted to get rid of it, she said it was too big of a part of her past. I guess without dad and I here, there's really no reason for her to drive an SUV, though.

The good news is, we could now see a clear path down to the town. It was about a 30 minute walk and we were all quiet most of the time. Poor Tiger Lily hung back the whole time. I know it must be hard for her, seeing all the excitement in all of us, about to see our family, while she is one step further from finding hers.

We finally reached the town, and we were a block away from Granny's when I started getting butterflies. I can't believe I did it. I survived, and I brought back my dad! We turn the corner and I could see through the window. My mom was sitting at a table with Zelena and Regina and Uncle Daniel. Next to them was another table with grandma, grandpa, Henry, and Violet. I raced the stairs (as fast as I could with my injured leg) and threw open the door. "Mommy! "I shouted. She looked up and covered her mouth.

"Oh my God, Charlotte! " She jumped up and ran to me. She hugged me like never before and kissed my forehead. "Oh honey I love you so much." All the guilt I had tried to keep out flooded my brain. My poor mother. She was the best, most hard-working, and caring mom I could ask for. And I repay her by going off without telling her on and life-threatening mission. All I told her was that I was OK. How does that help? On top of all of that. I left her alone, without dad, to worry and be sad all by herself.

" I love you too mom" was all I could manage.

Then she let go and ran towards dad. "Killian! "

"Swan ". He embraced her and lifted her off the ground. "I, love, love, love, love you so much "I heard him tell her. "Oh, me too Killian, me too." They kissed and then he held her face in his hands and pressed their foreheads together. "I never meant to leave you and I hope you know that I'm always here." "I do "she said and kissing him again.

Most girls my age that their parents were gross, but I thought mine were wonderful. I wanted a marriage just like there's. I stepped forward and hugged both my parents again. I love them so much. Then, I felt arms grab my waist and hug me. "Lottie! "It was my brother, Henry.

"Henry! "I had to stand on my tippy toes to kiss him on the cheek. "I'm so so sorry I delayed the wedding! "

"It's fine, I'm just glad you're safe. "Then he walked over and hugged my dad. I gave a big hug to Aunt Gina and Aunt Lena cried again and had to run to the bathroom to stop mascara from running down her face. I also hugged my grandparents, and reminded them that what got me through was the thought of their unwavering hope.

I noticed Tiger Lily. She was sitting alone at the bar. I walked over to her.

"You should be enjoying your family, not joining my pity party. "She said.

"Well, I couldn't be a pity party. You've never been to Storybook, right? Why don't we take advantage of it, and let me show you around town, introduce you to my family. She gave a slight smile.

"Maybe, but I think I'll call it a night. See you in the morning "she stood up and left. I guess she was staying at Granny's motel.

The next morning was the big day. We all drove over to the rooftop venue ( also where my parents were married) for the wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony and Henry and Violet were so in love. I danced like crazy with all of my family at the reception we all celebrated our homecoming and the beautiful couple. At about 11 o'clock, we finally got home. Right away, I changed into a T-shirt and sweatpants, and my mom immediately took off for 5 inch pumps. I was getting ready to get in bed when my mom called me downstairs. I slowly got up and walked to the kitchen. My dad was standing there too.

"Yes, mom? "She gave a big smile. "Well, I have some news. I didn't want to spoil Henry's big day, so I didn't tell the whole family, but I wanted you to to at least know."she paused and looked us both and I. "While you two were gone, I found out I'm pregnant. "

THE END

Thank you guys so so much for all of the follows and reviews I've gotten. I know it doesn't seem like much but it really means a whole lot to me. This technically is not the last chapter, I have one more, but it is from all of the teens POVs of when the reunite with their families, so it won't continue with this story. Yes, Emma is pregnant again!! I know it's almost kinda ridiculous, but I honestly could resist. I am writing the next story currently, and it will be set at the end of Emma's pregnancy and after with all the same OCs and characters. I am also working on oneshots for cs at the time that I'm SUPER excited for :) Thank you so much for reading! Please review and tweet me at @EllaHill_Crouch
