AN: So, we've come to the end of "You Found Me." *Sigh* This is the last chapter. I want to thank a few people for their continuous support. I want to thank Polkie2, paupaupi, RhizOneill, Zelda86, K, acasto03, and beckyzoso. You all are wonderful. Thank you for the continued support during "Always Find Each Other," and "You Found Me."
In other news, I do have a new story coming out. It's called "Bottom of the River." I want to thank beckyzoso in advance. The story was her idea. I also want to thank GranddaughterOfCaskettAndTivia for taking the time to beta it.
Thank you all again! ~ XOXO MAS
Chapter Twenty-Eight
The group dismounted as they approached the Troll Bridge, tying their horses up a good distance away in case there were trolls around. Killian drew he sword and Emma took up her post next to him. "We ready?"
Regina nodded, "Yes, now, once we find her, we'll control her so she keeps her pet monkeys in control and we can get them all locked up."
"Okay, so let's find her." David stepped forward.
Regina pulled out Zelena's pendant, "Elsa," she turned to the visiting queen, "did you bring what I need?"
Elsa nodded, holding out a bottle, "What's that?" Lancelot asked.
"A location potion." Regina held out the pendant and sprinkled the blue liquid over it. In moments, the pendant was floating ahead of them. "This will lead us straight to wherever Zelena is hiding."
The pendant led them closer to the Troll Bridge, forcing everyone to be on high alert. There were many threats in this part of the forest, they had to be careful. The trolls were not fans of royals, particularly since the story of how Snow and David played them and turned quite a few of them into crushable bugs had been passed down. When the pendant faltered they all stilled, "She's nearby." Regina pulled her heart out, "Come on out, Zelena. We know you're here."
A few moments later, Zelena's form appeared. "Hello, sister." Zelena drawled slowly, her attempt to unsettle Regina failing as the former Evil Queen simply scoffed.
A moment later a monkey appeared next to her, hissing at them, "Call him off." Regina ordered.
They watched as Zelena's face contorted in displeasure before she turned and spoke to the creature until it was silenced by her side. "Happy?" Zelena snarked.
Elsa stepped forward, holding out her hand, "It's okay, buddy, just a little taste."
When the creature didn't take it, Regina rolled her eyes, "Make him eat it." Zelena rolled her eyes and murmured to the monkey for a moment. The moment it ate the piece of bread from Elsa's hand, it collapsed to the ground.
"What did you do to him?" Zelena shrieked.
"It's just a sleeping spell." Elsa replied.
"You cursed him?" Zelena asked appalled.
"No, not a curse, just put him to sleep, he'll wake up in a few hours. It's just long enough to get him back to the castle." Emma explained, "Now, you're coming with us." She glanced back, "Regina, Elsa and I will escort the two of them back to the castle."
"We'll get the horses back." David pressed a kiss to the top of his daughter's head, "Killian, Robin, go with them just in case, please."
"Of course." Killian nodded, "We'll see you at the castle." Steeling himself, "Okay, ladies, do your worst." He muttered.
Emma chuckled, "One day you'll get used to this form of travel."
"No, darling, I won't, but please, go ahead." Killian sheathed his sword and held his breath. Moments later they were standing in the castle dungeon. The monkey was placed in another dungeon.
Regina placed a protection spell on both of the cells and the group moved down to the War Room to discuss the next step.
"We can put her heart in my vault." Regina offered.
Emma shook her head, "No, we have to give it back, but we keep the pendant."
"But"
"No buts, Regina," Emma continued, "we give her heart back and keep her locked away. Our biggest concern should be turning the monkey back into a human."

One Year Later
Emma leaned against Killian, a soft smile on her face as Regina and Robin said their wedding vows. She felt Killian's grin as he pressed a kiss to the top of her head. With Zelena and Walsh (in human form) locked away, the kingdom had been blessedly quiet for the past year.
The only issue they'd had since they returned from Storybrooke was Prince Hans, allied once again with Blackbeard, trying to overthrow Elsa and Lancelot. It didn't work. Elsa put all of them, along with Blackbeard's ship, in a glass bottle. She had it resting on her mantle in her palace.
Henry and Ava were so happy to be home, and both of them were very welcoming to their newest little brother, Liam. Killian was already talking about a fourth child. Emma thought he just liked to watch her waddling around, frustrated that her magic wasn't completely in her control. Killian always said he just loved kids.
"I was thinking," Killian whispered in her ear softly, "perhaps you'd like to do this again."
Emma glanced up at him, "Do what again? If you mention another baby, my body and I might have to protest a little more violently."
He chuckled, "No, three is enough. At least for now." He teased, "I meant the wedding."
Emma's brow furrowed, "You want to get married again?" She asked.
"Renew our vows." He shrugged, "Dave was discussing doing it with your mother and I thought it didn't seem like such a bad idea."
Emma slipped her fingers between the buttons on his vest, "I don't know if we need another wedding." Her eyes sparkled up at him, "How about another honeymoon?" She suggested. "Just the two of taking the Jolly somewhere away from here. Maybe somewhere a little isolated with a beach and warm water. Perhaps we could maybe lose our clothes along the way."
Killian growled softly in her ear, his teeth latching onto her lobe. "I love the way you think, darling. You really are my wanton princess."
Emma mewled softly, turning her body into him even more, "And I'd very much like to be ravished by a pirate with a very talented mouth."
"You're tempting fate with your words, my love. If you're not careful, we'll leave our children in the hands of your parents while we take our leave." He threatened.
Emma leaned away to tug on her mother's sleeve, "Yes, Emma?" Snow asked, dabbing the tears from her eyes.
"Would you mind if we skipped the reception?" She motioned between herself and Killian.
Snow chuckled, "You mean can we watch the kids until it's time for them to go to bed?" She nodded, "Of course, you and your pirate have fun. Besides, you took over the kingdom last month while your father and I took a little vacation."
Emma smiled softly, "You deserve more than just that." She admitted, "Thank you, though."
Snow laced her fingers with her daughter's, "I'm just glad we're all here and the kingdom finally seems to be safe and prosperous."
"Me too." Emma agreed. Leaning back towards Killian, she rose up on her toes, "We're all clear after this ceremony ends."
Killian tucked her firmly against him, "The bloody Evil Queen would want all this pomp and circumstance. It seems like it will go on forever."
Emma hid a snort in his shoulder. It was true, the ceremony was huge and long. "You best drop the 'Evil' part of her description, she may try to dismember you or something." She reminded him of Regina's not fully controlled temper and he chuckled.
"Too right." He agreed, pressing another kiss to her temple.
Emma sighed and leaned into him, content to wait until the ceremony was over, knowing that a night alone with her pirate was waiting for her. Glancing up at him, she knew there were many nights ahead of them. And she was looking forward to each and every one of them.
