Here it is! The epilogue! I wasn't going to write one but I had a lot of people asking, so here it is! I was waiting to post it until the new year. I hope everyone likes it. This is the last of anything with the story, as far as I'm concerned.
My other story, Rumplestiltskin Must Die, is wrapping up soon as well, for those of you who are reading it. And I will be starting a new story some time after that one ends called Rose. Feel free to leave a comment! Or twenty comments! :)

Epilogue – 5 years later
Lacey
She was out in the woods alone, near the old wishing well, thinking.
Well, partially thinking. She was trying to conjure up a cloak for her newest little brother's birthday. Unlike her sister, her magic hadn't gotten stronger as she'd grown older.
She sighed as she thought of Rose. The pieces of the cloak fell to the ground as her mind was filled with the thought of her wayward sister. Rose wasn't using dark magic as exclusively as she had when the curse had been broken, but she stuck mainly to dark magic. Dark magic came easier to her than good magic did. The Knave was living with her, trying to bring out the good in her.
Lacey wasn't sure if he'd ever succeed.
Her father and mother were finally happy. There had been a year or two of unhappiness where all her mother could think about was her desire for knowledge, knowledge of herself and the properties of good magic. It had taken a good deal of time, but once she'd learned what had happened, she'd been able to rescue Adam's soul.
It was a shame Maleficent's soul was gone.
Adam had left after being rescued to try and find his once-love's soul, promising that when he found her, he'd tell her what good they'd done and keep her off the path of vengeance. Lacey assumed he'd succeeded or died looking for her, for they hadn't seen or heard a word from Maleficent since the Wraith consumed her soul.
The thought still upset Lacey. She knew Maleficent hadn't cared for her, but for five years of her life, Maleficent had been the only parent in her life. And that mattered to her. She sighed, trying to push the negative thoughts from her mind.
The cloak started floating once more as she focused on it. She knew it would have been easier to magick a completed cloak, but she wanted to create it. She had no talent with knitting or sewing, however, so making it by hand was out of the question. But she knew cloaks. She spent a few hours one night researching everything she could of cloaks so she could make her baby brother the best cloak he'd ever have.
She wanted only the best for his third birthday.
After her mother and father had righted the mystery of her mother's past, they got happy. And had her little brother. Little Peter. Her father refused to give them a backstory behind the name, but he'd never given them a backstory for anyone else's names. Why would he start now?
All she knew was that little Peter's name held much more meaning than any of the rest of their names. And she knew that one day, she'd figure out what it meant.
The cloak was slowly being knitted together as she concentrated on it. She focused strand after strand of magic into the cloak, hoping it would be perfect when it was completed. She'd made one for herself, first, as a trial run. She was wearing it now even. She'd wanted to make sure that creating a cloak from magic would have no side effects before allowing her little brother to have it.
Soon, Lacey figured, she'd have to make little cloaks for all of her friends' babies. The babies that had yet to be born, but would be any time. Henry and Grace were speaking of getting married as soon as they both officially turned eighteen. Emma and Bae got married and Emma was expecting another baby. Ali was thrilled that she'd be getting a brother or a sister soon, and Lacey was thrilled to be an aunt once more.
Rose could care less either way.
She had only just finished creating the cloak when she was aware of another presence, a presence behind her. She reached out and took the cloak before turning slowly.
Sitting on a rock, watching her carefully, was a boy. She called him a boy, but Lacey could tell he was much older than her. Years and countless years older than her. He was watching her intently, a smirk on his face.
"Who are you?" she asked calmly, tucking the tiny cloak into her own. The boy pushed himself off of the rock, moving towards her with a purpose.
"That's a nice parlor trick you have there," he said. Lacey jutted her chin out defiantly.
"It's not a parlor trick. You didn't answer my question," she pointed out, irritated.
"No. I didn't. You don't need to know my name, Lacey. Because I know yours. And I know how to make your dreams come true," he told her, moving closer. Lacey tilted her head, staring at him. He knew her name. He thought he knew what her dreams were. Who was he? Was he an enemy of her family?
That was a silly question. Almost everyone was an enemy of her family. Of course this strange boy was an enemy of her family.
And how did he know how to make her dreams come true? What did he know of her dreams? What did she even know of her dreams?
"You don't know my dreams," Lacey told him fiercely.
"No? But I do. You want your sister to be good again. That's what you want. And I can make it happen," he said. He had a cocky expression on his face, one that had Lacey worried. But she wasn't going to let him know that.
"It doesn't matter. What could you do?" she scoffed at him. In an instant his hand was at her throat. Lacey resisted the urge to appear frightened. Instead, she allowed an eyebrow to raise at him.
And promptly threw him backwards.
He was shocked when he got up.
"You've really got some power in you, don'tcha?" he asked with another grin before heading back towards her.
"Yes. I do. You should leave. Now," she said. The boy was freaking her out slightly. More than slightly. He was alarming her quickly.
Her mind instantly reached out for Rose, only for the boy to slap her.
"Now, that's not nice. We were having a private conversation. There isn't a need to call in someone else," the boy said.
"Who are you?" Lacey repeated.
The boy's smirk returned full-force.
"The name's Peter. Peter Pan. And I'm your grandfather," he said. Lacey stared at him for a moment, thinking. She'd met her mother's father. So that meant he was her father's father.
Seems as how her father had never mentioned him, she assumed he was either dead or evil.
"So that's where Daddy dearest got the name. I was wondering."
The voice came from behind them. Both Lacey and Peter Pan spun to see Rose leaning against a tree, examining her fingernails. Ali was standing next to her, wide-eyed.
"So you're Rose. I've heard a lot about you," Peter Pan said, stepping closer to her. Rose flicked her wrist, effectively pinning him against the nearest tree with magic.
"Ah ah ah. You don't have very many manners, do you? I just heard you threatening my sister. No one threatens my family," Rose said, glancing up for the first time. She pierced Pan with a glare so fierce it nearly had Lacey in tears.
She waved her hand and a box appeared. Peter Pan's eyes widened and he shook his head, but Rose just gave him a smirk.
"No! Don't kill him!" Ali exclaimed, lunging at Rose. Rose glanced down at the nine year old blankly.
"He's threatening our family," she said. Lacey glanced in between her sister and niece and Pan, who looked more than a little apprehensive at the sight of the box.
"But you shouldn't kill him. He's my great-grandpa," Ali said, glancing at him.
"He's not good," Lacey added, although she didn't know what to do either. Rose sighed and glanced back at her niece before glaring up at Peter Pan.
"Leave. If you ever come near our family, I'll kill you," she said. Peter Pan's apprehension melted into ease. He turned to leave, but stepped right next to Lacey
"I'll never step foot in Storybrooke again, but I'll always be here. I'll be in your mind, Lacey. Always. I won't always be in the front of your mind, but I'll always be there, in that place in between awake and dreams. You'll always wonder what I would have offered to make your sister good. And you'll call me back one day," Pan promised quietly before he jumped off the ground and flew right out of sight.
"I'm gonna cast a spell to keep that bastard out," Rose said.
"Bastard's a bad word," Ali pointed out, only for Rose to smile and ruffle her hair.
"Yes it is," Rose said affectionately before magicking them all back into the center of town.
Charming almost hit them with his truck but swerved at the last minute. He leapt out of the car, terrified.
"Rose! I almost hit you! All of you!" he exclaimed, but Rose waved him off.
"We'd have been fine," she said before walking off. The moment she did, Ali turned to Lacey.
"I'm changing her! Knave said I could, and I am!" Ali said excitedly.
"What do you mean?" Charming asked, staring down at his grandchild curiously.
"Knave told me that a gypsy once told them that a little girl would be the key to turning Rose good again. It's me! He thought it was Lacey, but she didn't, so he thinks it's me! She would have killed Peter Pan if I hadn't been there!" Ali said happily.
"Who's Peter Pan?" Charming asked, eyes landing on Lacey. She shook her head.
"I haven't the slightest. Only that he's bad. And Rose banished him," Lacey informed the king. Charming nodded before wrapping an arm around Ali.
"Let's get going. Snow was gonna make cookies," he offered and Ali's entire face lit up.
"Bye Lacey! See you later!" she called out as she scampered into the passenger side of Charming's truck. Lacey chuckled at the sight before entering her father's shop.
He was sitting in the front, tinkering with something small. When he saw Lacey, he got to his feet instantly.
"Where have you been?" he asked sternly.
"In the woods. Trying to make the cloak. I think it's finished," she said, handing the cloak to her father before examining the shop. Her little brother was nowhere in sight.
"He's with your mother," Rumplestiltskin told her absently as he examined the craftsmanship of the cloak. He smiled at his daughter.
"You did an excellent job. Peter'll love it," he told his daughter affectionately.
"I met Peter's namesake today," Lacey said, knowing it would be better to tell her father now as opposed to him finding out later. The cloak slid from Rumplestiltskin's hands.
"Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" he asked, alarmed. Lacey shook her head.
"Rose showed up and kicked his ass. Butt. She showed up and kicked his butt," Lacey amended quickly. Rumplestiltskin's eyebrow raised at her correction but he said nothing to her.
"What did she do?" he asked quickly.
"She made him leave and cast a spell to keep him from ever returning," Lacey explained. Rumplestiltskin still looked apprehensive but he nodded nonetheless.
"Good. Good. If you ever see him again, tell me immediately. And don't listen to a word he says. That boy is a dreadful liar," Rumplestiltskin warned. Lacey nodded, but was still mulling over his words. She pushed them out of her mind, hoping they wouldn't come back.
But she knew they would.
"He said he was my grandfather. Is he?" Lacey asked as her father started walking away. Rumplestiltskin hesitated before he disappeared into the back of his shop. He came back with some wrapping paper for Lacey to use to wrap the cloak with. Lacey took the paper from him, spreading it out slightly.
Waiting for her father to answer.
"Yes. Once upon a time, the man now known as Peter Pan would have been your grandfather. But he isn't anymore. He is nothing like he used to be. And I would rather you not call him your grandfather," Rumplestiltskin told her. Lacey nodded.
"Can you pass me some ribbon?" Lacey asked her father, knowing he was done talking with what he wants to say. Rumplestiltskin handed her the ribbon and she artfully tied the cloak up.
"Do you want to hide it here so your brother doesn't find it?" her father offered. Lacey smiled at her father and nodded, moving towards where the books were stored. Peter had yet to learn to read and while he still liked looking at books, he never ventured towards the top shelf. Lacey stood on the chair and shoved books out of the way so she could hide the tiny package behind the books only her mother examined anymore.
In fact, Lacey was pretty sure all the books on the top shelf already belonged to her mother and were merely books that didn't fit into their massive library at home.
She smiled at her father and made her way out of the shop.
When she arrived home, her mother was reading. Belle read all the time. Rose once told her that Belle didn't know how to read until a little after Lacey had been born. Lacey couldn't imagine her mother not reading. Her mother read constantly, as if she were trying to devour every bit of wisdom books had to offer in as little time as possible.
Lacey crawled onto the couch next to her mother, reading the words over her shoulder. It was a children's French book. It looked like her mother was trying to learn French. Lacey had learnt French a few years ago, right after the curse had broken. Rumplestiltskin helped her learn as many languages as she could wrap her mind around.
Belle was still struggling with French, and she'd begun learning about the time Lacey had. Lacey knew better than to mention it to her mother, but it did slightly irritate her when she finished reading the page and waited a good ten minutes before her mother was ready to turn the page.
Belle must've sensed Lacey's frustration because she placed a bookmark in the book and closed it, looking up at Lacey.
"Did you finish your brother's birthday present?" Belle asked. Lacey nodded.
"I hid it too. I don't trust the rascal," Lacey said loudly. She heard giggling from the other room, only to see little Peter run into the room.
"But I wanna have it now!" he begged, grabbing Lacey's arm. She smiled affectionately at her brother before shaking her head.
"You still have a week!" she told him before picking him up and hugging him tightly. Peter struggled against his sister's grip until she sat him down. He stuck his tongue out at her and ran off to the other room.
"Any signs of magic yet?" Lacey asked her mother. It was a common question in the household. Every day, both Lacey and Rose asked their mother about Peter's magical tendencies.
Still though, even with all the magic in his family tree, Peter showed no signs of having magic.
"No. And I can't say I'm disappointed. Bae came over and was ecstatic to see his non-magical brother. Magic isn't always a gift," Belle told her daughter. Lacey nodded. Because she understood. Not as much as Rose and Bae and her parents understood, but she still understood.
That night, she went to bed earlier than usual. And the moment her eyes were closed, all she could hear were Peter Pan's words. Could he save Rose? Would he save Rose? Rose didn't like him. Her father didn't like him.
Even she had a bad feeling about him.
Everything about him set her off, made her uncomfortable. But she couldn't get his words out of her head.
What did he mean when he said he'd never truly leave? Rose was more powerful than him. That much had been made obvious. Her father was the Dark One. Her older sister was almost as powerful as him. She shouldn't have to worry about this…this boy.
She finally opened her eyes, realizing sleep wasn't going to come. A feeling of unease settled in her as she pushed herself out of the bed, padding around the hallways. She didn't know where she was planning on going, but she followed her instincts and instincts alone. She contemplated calling he sister, but thought better of it. Rose wouldn't be happy to show up because Lacey just got a bad feeling.
She stopped outside of little Peter's room. Lacey quietly opened the door. Her brother would have been asleep for about five hours by that point. But she got this aching feeling.
The lights were out. Peter was in bed. But Peter wasn't alone.
Peter Pan was sitting on the window seat, arms crossed, eyes on her.
"Hello. I told you we'd meet again," he said pleasantly. Lacey's eyes widened and she quickly crossed the room, hoping they wouldn't wake up Peter.
"Rose banished you. You aren't able to be here," Lacey hissed. Peter Pan laughed at her, shaking his head.
"You're endearing. I'm not here. Go ahead. Try touching me," he said, standing up. Lacey eyed him suspiciously before swinging her fist at him. Her fist went right through his face.
"Told you. I'm not physically here. But I can still do damage," he informed her as his grin spread. Lacey was shoved against the wall before she could blink. But she couldn't fight back. She couldn't move.
"Then how?" Lacey asked, the words coming out in a whisper. Peter Pan's grin stretched across his face as he pointed at sleeping Peter.
"That boy. He's why I'm here. He's dreaming of me. When someone dreams of me, I come. As long as he dreams of me, I have free reign of this town. Unless you want to keep him awake until you can find a way to keep me out," Peter Pan said, tilting his head sideways as he smirked.
"Whatever you can imagine, you can do?" Lacey asked. Peter Pan shook his head, a scowl appearing.
"No. Only in Neverland. Would you like to see Neverland?" Peter Pan asked, but it wasn't a question. Lacey didn't hesitate to call Rose there.
But by the time Rose got there, Pan was gone.
The weeks slid by. Every night, no matter how hard Rose tried, Pan continued showing up. He came every night. The first week or so, she all but slept in Peter's room to keep Pan from her, but it didn't take long for Pan to start appearing in her own dreams. He haunted her every moment, even during the daylight. She started seeing him in reflections behind her, in puddles, sometimes even in the shadows.
It was driving her to insanity.
It all came to a head on Peter's birthday. She'd gotten next to no sleep the night before. She couldn't. Every time she went to sleep, she'd see his face hovering over her, grinning at her. When Peter'd burst into her room to let her know that breakfast was ready, he found her sitting on the window seat, her arms wrapped tightly around her knees.
Peter ran downstairs and got his parents, bringing them upstairs. When they got there, Lacey hadn't moved. She didn't move until Rumplestiltskin touched her shoulders. She jumped, eyes meeting her father's in fear.
"Lacey," Rumplestiltskin started, but Lacey quickly shook her head.
"No. You don't understand," she tried, but Rumplestiltskin waved his hand.
"No. We don't. We can't understand what you won't tell us," Rumplestiltskin told her sternly. Lacey's eyes landed on Peter. Her father followed her gaze and nodded.
"Belle, why don't you take Peter downstairs? You two can go ahead and start eating," Rumplestiltskin suggested. Belle nodded but sent her daughter a worried glance before ushering their son out of the room. As soon as the door clicked shut behind her, Rumplestiltskin sat down next to Lacey on the window seat.
"Now, what's been bothering you?" Rumplestiltskin asked her. Lacey sighed, lowering her head. She didn't even meet his eyes.
"It's Pan. He won't leave me alone," Lacey finally said, her eyes meeting Rumplestiltskin's. They were full of anguish and despair.
"Lace, Pan's not here. He can't be here. Rose and I both ensured that he could never enter Storybrooke," Rumplestiltskin said slowly. Rose shook her head.
"No. He can be anywhere. He can come here as long as someone dreams of him or thinks of him. And Peter was dreaming of him. When Peter finally slowed down, I couldn't get him out of my head. He won't go away. I see him everywhere!" Lacey admitted, tears forming in her eyes. Her father shook her head.
"Papa, we have to kill him!" she cried, terrified.
"No. We don't need to kill anyone. We are safe here," Rumplestiltskin tried calming his daughter, but she shook her head.
"We aren't! We have to kill him," Lacey repeated.
"You can't kill an idea."
The voice came from behind them. Both turned to see Rose leaning against the closed door.
"Mom called me. Said she was worried about you," Rose said, pushing herself off of the door.
"What do you mean? Peter Pan's not an idea!" Lacey defended herself, squaring her shoulders instantly. Rose sighed before squeezing herself in between Rumplestiltskin and Rose on the window seat.
"Peter Pan is more idea than reality. Papa, haven't you told her of how Peter Pan came to be?" Rose turned to their father. Rumplestiltskin hesitated before shaking his head. Rose sighed loudly before shaking her head.
"Peter Pan used to be Papa's papa, but using the ideals of Neverland transformed himself back into a boy. He's an idea altogether. And what you're seeing? It's not really Pan. I'd know. Trust me," Rose reassured her younger sister. But Lacey refused to be reassured.
"You're not the one seeing him everywhere!" Lacey scoffed. Rose waved a glowing hand over Lacey's face. She nodded.
"No. I'm not. And neither are you. Pan has not been in Storybrooke since our meeting him. Something he said is driving you crazy. That's what's happening. He planted an idea in you. About me. He said he could fix me. But you know better than to trust him," Rose summarized everything that had been running through Lacey's head. Lacey nodded, eyes wide.
"He can't fix me. He wanted you. No. He wanted you to get to Henry. He's still after Henry. He's been after Henry for years. He was lying to you to try to get you to betray Henry, Lace. He had no intentions of trying to help me, nor did he have the ability to help me," Rose told her sister.
"And so the idea planted itself in your head and you've spent weeks regretting and poring over the details. You're seeing a physical representation of your emotions. Pan is not here. The Pan you've been seeing isn't real," Rose finished. Lacey's eyes were wide.
"I'm…not seeing Pan?" Lacey asked slowly for clarification. Rose shook her head, a smile already on her face. But Lacey wasn't happy.
"Does that mean I'm going crazy?" Lacey asked in a small voice. Rose shook her head quickly.
"Of course not. You were born crazy," Rose said, ruffling her sister's hair before helping her up.
"Come on. You need some sleep if you want to be worth anything at Peter's party tonight," Rose told her sister. She helped Lacey into bed and Lacey was out before Rose could finish pulling the blanket over Lacey. Her and Rumplestiltskin left the room, closing the door tightly.
"You did good," Rumplestiltskin praised his daughter. Rose tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
"Thanks. It felt good," Rose admitted.
"Have you ever thought of trying to study psychology? That sounded like the sort of thing Jiminy Cricket used to say when he was Archie Hopper," Rumplestiltskin asked. Rose shook her head.
"I might talk to him about it. But we have a bigger problem right now," Rose said grimly.
"What?" her father asked in alarm.
"I lied. Peter Pan was here."
Rose:
Her and Knave left the day after Peter's birthday. Lacey was doing much better, but Rose wasn't. She knew what had happened. Although everything she said to Lacey was true, Pan was coming and going, despite her spell to keep him out. The thought infuriated her. She'd wanted to go alone but Knave refused to let her.
They were in their car on the way out of town to contact Pan. Rose had the box she'd told Lacey before she wouldn't use on her. The box that would capture and then end Pan. Lacey didn't know what was going to happen.
As long as she continued believing Peter Pan couldn't hurt her, she'd be fine.
They'd only just crossed the town line when Ali popped up in the backseat.
"So what's the plan?" she asked cheerfully. Knave's head spun around, the car swerving slightly.
"Ali! What are you doing?" Knave exclaimed. Ali buckled herself in, beaming at the two of them.
"Joining you, of course. You might need my help," she said with a smile.
"Your help?" Rose repeated skeptically. Ali nodded eagerly.
"I've got good magic on hand in case you need it," Ali pointed out.
"I have good magic in me too," Rose scoffed, but Ali shook her head.
"But you won't use it! What's the plan?" she asked once more.
"The plan is to take you back home," Knave said, slowing down.
"No. We need to hurry up and do this. We can leave her in the car," Rose said absently. Knave shot her a look which she artfully ignored. They pulled over to the side of the road and parked the car before traipsing a ways outside into the woods.
Once they were a good distance from the road, Rose stopped them.
"You didn't have to come all the way out here just for little old me," a voice said from behind them. Knave and Ali spun around, but Rose kept her back to him. She had a feeling it would make him mad. And if he was mad, he was more likely to slip up.
"We didn't. We wanted to take Ali on a picnic but Knave forgot the lunch. Good job," Rose said carelessly. Peter Pan appeared in front of her.
"Are you too good to look at me now?" Pan taunted her. Rose tilted her head, not even sparing a word for him.
"I don't know what you're talking of," Rose said, keeping her voice as level as she could. Pan's grin stretched across his face.
"I think you do. See, just because the shadow didn't come to take you to Neverland doesn't mean I didn't hear your pleas," Pan said smugly. Rose felt herself involuntarily stiffen at his words. She'd forgotten about that. She'd forgotten of the years she'd spent at her window in Bae's apartment, wishing Peter Pan would arrive and take her on an adventure, an adventure that could possibly lead her to her parents.
"Oh yes. I know all about your desire for adventure. I heard your pleas every night. But you weren't the right one. So we left you," Pan said smugly. He laughed at his words, casting a careless gaze over at Knave and Ali.
And promptly froze.
"You," he said, eyes wide. Rose turned this time. He was looking right at Ali.
"Me," Ali retorted snidely, placing both hands on her hips.
"But…it was supposed to be the boy. The image looked just like a boy," Pan stuttered. A boy? Henry? Rose examined Ali closely. The girl had decided to get a haircut two months ago. She'd shaved her entire head to be like a little girl in her class who had cancer. That was before she realized the girl would be healed before she lost all of her hair.
Ali's hair was only a few inches long and, at that length, did make her look rather boyish. And the more Rose looked at her, the more she could see Henry's features in her face.
The color drained from Rose's face. She glanced back at Pan, who was now examining a cloth like image. One of Rose. Or Henry. It was hard to tell.
"There are two of them," Pan murmured. Ali glared hatefully at him.
"I don't like you. Go in the box," Ali ordered. Pan stiffened at her words but didn't move. Almost as if he couldn't.
"Rose, open the box," Knave ordered, eyes focused only on Pan.
"Don't open the box. You still want adventure," Pan finally pulled himself from his stupor.
"She doesn't need adventure. She has us," Knave pointed out.
"We're an adventure for her," Ali added. Rose glanced between the two of them, struck by their words.
They were right.
She opened the box, watching as Pan was sucked into it. As soon as he vanished from sight, she closed the box tightly. She placed the box on the ground and immediately sent lightning at it. After a few hits, the box more of a blob than a box. One that could no longer open. Rose picked it back up, tucking it carefully into her pocket.
"Come on. Let's go home," Knave said with a smile.
"Let's go back from the adventure!" Ali cheered.
"Sure kid. Let's go home," Rose said, following Ali as she raced to the car. Knave smiled at her and slipped his hand into hers.
"You seem different today. Ever since you came home from talking to Lacey yesterday. What happened?" Knave asked her curiously. Rose shrugged.
"I was thinking about taking some online courses in psychology. Papa suggested it. It…well, it felt nice helping Lacey feel better," Rose admitted. Her confession made Knave's entire face light up with a smile.
"I might've been wrong. The gypsy had been talking about Lacey when she said a little girl would help you," Knave said. Rose frowned at his words.
"I don't need helped," Rose protested, as she always did whenever Knave brought the gypsy up.
"No. Maybe not anymore. Don't you see? You feel better when you're helping people. You want to be good. You want to help people," Knave said excitedly.
"I just like doing it. That doesn't mean I'm meant for good magic. Good magic is weak," Rose said automatically.
Knave merely smiled.
"Whatever you say."
The End
12345789098764321
There you have it! I hope you liked how I ended it. I wrapped up most if not all of the loose ends I left hanging in the end. And I couldn't resist throwing Pan in there! Let me know what you all thought of it!
