Chapter 21: Product of True Love
Prince Charming and Cyrus returned to the castle after an afternoon of sword fighting practice in the forest.
"Where did you learn to fight like that?" Charming asked.
"I learned when I was young." Cyrus said.
They were greeted at the castle doors by Snow and Alice, who were smiling happily.
"What's going on?" Charming asked.
"The Blue Fairy was just here." Alice said.
"She told us something wonderful." Snow said.
"What did she say?" Cyrus asked.
"We're both pregnant!" Alice said.
Charming and Cyrus both happily smiled and hugged Snow and Alice tightly.
"We've got less than nine months left." Charming said.
"Our babies will be here in around nine months." Snow said.
"I know." Charming said. "I mean we have nine months left to defeat the Wicked Witch. I won't have my child born in a world where she's a threat."
"Have you heard the news?" Zelena asked Rumplestiltskin in his cage. "Snow and that Alice girl are both with child."
"So?" Rumple asked.
"So both of these babies are the product of true love. That means I have two babies to choose from. I guess I'll just take whichever one is born first." Zelena said.
"You won't be able to go back in time." Rumple said.
"I will once I get all my ingredients," Zelena said, "and my genie of course."
