It has been way too long. Here is a very short update. Hopefully I can finish up this chapter soon. Not sure how many chapters it will take. Enjoy!
Chapter 51
Jasmine came home in a good mood. She had just discovered she wasn't an only child after all; she had seven sisters and couldn't wait to share the news with her husband. Things were good for Jasmine now and she didn't think anything could bring her down.
Jasmine walked into their bedroom and saw Neal sitting on a chair on the balcony, staring at the world below them.
"Hi honey." Jasmine slipped out to him and sat on his lap.
Neal wrapped his arms around his wife and hugged her. "Hi Jas."
"You'll never believe it, Neal," Jasmine said smiling.
"What is it?" Neal asked.
"I found a sister. Not just one sister, but seven sisters! Ariel is my sister. We have the same mother. Can you believe it?"
"Really?" Neal scrunched his face trying to think about it, but he couldn't keep his mind off of their daughter.
"Yeah, she was kidnapped by pirates and that's when she met my father. Isn't that wonderful?"
"Yeah. Yeah it's great," Neal sighed.
"What's the matter? There's something wrong, I know it."
Tears streamed down Neal's cheeks and he looked in his wife's eyes. "You were right. It wasn't our baby that I handed you. There was a mix up and she is Emma's. Our baby was the one that died."

Future Day
After leaving Henry at Granny's, Rumpel, Belle and Pirre went back to Gold's shop to talk.
"So let me get this straight… Belle and I were married in the Enchanted Forest, I rescued Bae from Neverland and we had twin daughters?" Rumpel scratched his chin.
"Yep." Pirre nodded.
"And we were cursed to this land?" Belle asked.
"Yep."
"Do you know where Bae or your twin are then?" Rumpel asked.
"Not a clue. Henry and I seem to be the only ones who remember. As part of the curse, Cora made me her daughter here."
"And the last thing I remember was knowing that Regina's curse is working. Perhaps this curse coincides with that curse. How things would have been if that happened. Which doesn't explain why you're here." Rumpel pondered.
"Well… uh…" Pirre gulped. "No idea."
"I think we need to visit our dear little friend, Regina," Rumpel said.

Emma dragged her feet following behind a very anxious Mary Margaret and Henry. Henry went right up to John Doe and wrapped his arms around his neck.
"You woke up, Grandpa!"
"Grandpa?" John Doe looked confused.
"It's okay, you'll remember soon." Henry smiled.
John Doe gazed up at Mary Margaret and the two of them stared into each other's eyes without saying a word.
Emma cleared her throat, "so, what do you remember?"
"Just waking up and seeing the most beautiful brown eyes."
Henry looked back at Emma and smirked.
Mary Margaret blushed.
