Hey guys! I know, it's been forever, but I will reward your wait with cuteness!
"You have brought company." Rumple said, without looking up from his work. Averianna came from the other room.
"I was just informed I went my father level crazy." Averianna stared at her future self, eye brow cocked and hand on her hip.
"It's best not to pretend you don't have that in you." Avery shrugged. "And I am having no party to the company. Emma and The Pirate are taking full responsibility for the consequences."
"So… is that to help us get home?" Emma asked, pointing to the magic Rumple was conjuring.
"Oh heavens no…" Rumple giggled. "You will have to figure that out on your own. No… this is memory erasing potion." He held the vial up. "We know too much about the future. Wouldn't want to mess anything up."
"Fair enough. Send us into the vault." Avery shrugged and with a wave of his hand they were transported.
"Where are we?" Emma asked.
"Dad's vault. Much cooler than Regina's. Its door less and windowless."
"Why?" Hook asked.
"It holds the magic that is too dangerous or unpredictable, even for him." Avery shrugged, knowing exactly what to try first.
"Oh." Hook said dropping the unconscious woman Emma saved and picked something up. Emma hit Hook.
"She just said 'To unpredictable and dangerous, even for him'. Him meaning her completely powerful and dangerous and unpredictable father." She stared at him. Hook just scoffed and put the urn down.
"Got it!" Avery said, climbing down from a latter, holding a wand.
"A wand?" Emma was not impressed.
"Used to murder a fairy." Avery smiled, Emma looked shocked. "What, I tried to be vague."
"I know. Come on, I want to go home." Emma sighed. Avery concentrated and the wand began to light up. Then it stopped.
"What happened?" Hook asked. Avery looked up at Emma.
"I can't do this alone." Avery said.
"Then we're stuck here." Emma shrugged.
"Seriously… that's your answer." Avery yelled at her.
"Zelena took my magic. What do you want me to do?" Emma said back.
"Drop the act. I know magic, and everything that she had done is now undone." Avery lifted her eye brow.
"Avery.." Emma started. "Seriously, Hook. You were there, help me out here."
"I am siding with Avery, love." Hook shrugged.
"I don't know if it is self-doubt, or you just want to be normal. Either way, you don't have time for either. You won't be normal, Emma. It will never happen. Get. Over. Yourself. If not for yourself, remember… we have children!" Avery pushed her.
"Fine." Emma said. The two women grabbed the wand and it immediately lit up and opened a portal.
"Hook, go." Avery ordered, then turned to Emma. "I'm proud of you, kiddo." She looped her arm. They smiled at each other and jumped into the portal, then something yanked Emma's arm from hers. "Emma!" she screamed. She thudded on the floor of the barn. She sat up. "Emma!" just then Emma landed ontop of her. "Ugh!"
"Sorry Avery." Emma said.
"Uh, huh… get off." Avery pushed Emma off her. "What happened?"
"You Dad held me back. But he took the potion. So… it's ok." Emma said, helping Avery up.
"Alright… well I have a son to get to. So you two should deal with her." Avery pointed to the woman and she checked the time and disappeared then reappeared at the spot where she knew her father's and Belle's wedding was going to be at. When her magic cleared, a strange wave washed over her. "That bitch!" her past self didn't take the potion.
"Avery… where have you been? Are you okay?" Her father and Archie were staring at her.
"Umm.. nothing." Avery smiled and magically changed her outfit to her dress and stood next to her father, taking her baby in her arms. "Hey sweetie." Avery hugged and kissed the infant. She looked up and saw Belle walking up the path with her father. "How did she manage that." She whispered to her dad.
"Your guess is as good as mine." He mumbled back. When Moe handed Belle over Archie started the ceremony. Keegan had the rings in the pocket of his little suit, which Rumple took out of his little pockets, because the ringbearer was busy sleeping on his mother. Rumple slipped the ring on Belle's finger and Belle slipped one on his.
"The bride and groom have written their own vows." Archie smiled.
"Belle… when we met, My walls were up, but you broke them down. You brought me home. You brought light to my life and chased away all the darkness. And I vow to you, I will never forget the distance between what I was and what I am. I owe more to you than I can ever say. How you can see the man behind the monster, I will never know. you have always seen the man behind this monster. You are the bravest and kindest woman I know, not only in accepting the faults in this old beast… but accepting both of my children. With all your heart. I have made many mistakes and have many regrets, but I will never make the mistake of letting you go again, and I will never regret this day." Avery began to tear up at her father's very honest words
"Rumplestiltskin, this thing we have, it's never been easy. I've lost you so many times. I've lost you to darkness, to weakness, and finally, to death. But now I realize, I realize that I have not spent my life losing you. I've spent my life finding you, and being there for your children has been the light of my life. And now, we can be there for our grandchild… together." Belle and smiled at the silently crying Avery, Archie put his arm around her. "That monster's gone. The man beneath him may be flawed, but we all are. And I love you for it. Sometimes the best book has the dustiest jacket. And sometimes the best teacup is chipped." Belle smiled at her husband. The tears down Avery's face were now constant tears.
"You may now kiss your bride." Archie smiled. The couple kissed. "And I am proud to present Mr. and Mrs. Gold." Gold turned to his daughter and held out and arm.
"You alright, love?" he wrapped his arm around her and wrapped it around her. Taking mind of the baby in her arms.
"I'm fine." She sniffled. "Arch… we are not doing that at our wedding."
"What did we do?" Belle giggled.
"You said the thing.. with the cup." Avery cried again. Her parents chuckled at her. Moe came forward and put an arm on his daughter and peeked over at Keegan.
"So this is my great grandchild?"
"Yes." Avery shifted the still sleeping baby.
"Maybe, after the newlyweds return from their honeymoon, we can all have brunch?" Archie nodded to Moe. "I'm sure he'll be awake then as well."
"I would like that." Moe's eyes glistened as he touched the little baby's hand. "I would like that a lot."
"So…" Gold started as the group walked him and his new wife to their car. "When are you making an honest woman out of my daughter, Hopper?"
"As soon as we can get a second to breathe." Archie nodded. "We were going to start planning but between a wicked witch and this little surprise… forgive us." He smiled. "Plus, Mary Margaret would be upset if she couldn't help plan a big todo."
"I would be offended too." Belle said. "I want to do the dress shopping and cake and everything."
"I'm not taking your name." Avery jested, trying to stop crying.
"Hell… I'd take your name." Archie joked, everyone laughed. They arrived at the Cadillac, which was donned with 'Just Married' on the back. Moe kissed Belle on the cheek goodbye. Avery and Archie hugged them both. After they drove off, Avery turned to Moe.
"We were going to magic, want a lift?" Avery asked.
"No thank you. I drove, and I think I should just head home." He nodded.
"So where were you?" Archie asked when they were alone.
"I went back in time." Avery said, hugging Keegan closer.
"Oh. Cool." He kissed her forehead.
"It's sad that I can say that and it be completely normal." Avery stared at him, Archie just laughed.
"It's part of the reason that I love you, my heart. That and the strange magic and the evil villains."
"Please Archie… Don't try to seduce me. We already have one child. We should wait until we're married for another." Avery rolled her eyes. "Or dad will probably kill you."
"Well… I like to live dangerously." He chuckled in her ear.
"Oh?"
"Yes. I don't use the little cup when I take cough medicine." He nudged her. Avery laughed and looked at the baby.
"Mommy and Daddy are so going to embarrass you when you get older."
Told you! Cuteness! A little Rumbelle cuteness and cute nerdy Avery/ Archie love! Their kid is going to be soooo cute!
