"What did you just say?" Regina asked as she turned around to face the young blonde girl.

"I said I know where to find Elijah. That's who you're looking for right," Lillie replied.

"Listen, I think you must have us confused with someone else," Robin interjected. "We're looking for our daughter so we need to get going. Right, Regina?" Robin looked over to Regina and he could see that his wife had gone pale. "Regina, let's go," he repeated.

"I-I…" the woman stuttered.

"Regina, you should tell him," Emma whispered.

"Tell me what?" Robin demanded. "What are you two talking about?" The two women shared one last glance before Regina finally spoke up.

"Elijah…is my son." The rest of the group, aside from Emma, stood there, mouths open, completely stunned.

"Henry, Lizzie, Lillie, why don't you come over here with me and give Regina and Robin a few minutes by themselves," Emma suggested. The teenagers listened to Emma's suggestion and headed further down the path in the forest. Robin, who still looked very much in shock, plopped himself down on a tree stump. His mind was swirling. Regina had another child. Why didn't she tell him? How could she hide something like this?

"Robin…please," Regina began as she made her way over to where Robin was sitting.

"How could you not tell me that you had another child?"

"I-I didn't tell anyone…aside from Emma, but that was only recently." Regina stuttered. "I-I was only 18 when I had him."

"We talked about not keeping things from one other, Regina," Robin snapped a bit harshly. "You're supposed to be able to trust me."

"Robin-I-I," Her eyes began to water. Damn these pregnancy hormones. She knew that Robin deserved the truth. They had promised to be honest with one another, but Elijah was something that she had never shared with anyone, other than Emma at the time she needed a friend the most. "I can't do this," she cried. She stood up from the tree stump and started to walk away.

"Regina…don't do this. Just talk to me," Robin begged as he chased after her and grabbed her hand. Her lower lip quivered as she fought back the tears and turned away from him. "I will always love you," he assured her. "Nothing you can say to me will ever convince me otherwise."

"I-I can't-"

"Yes, you can," Robin whispered softly.

"Fine…" Regina replied. She took a deep breath. "I found out that I was pregnant with Elijah about a month after marrying Snow's father. I was depressed, miserable and grieving. Snow was constantly pestering me to be her perfect stepmother and Leopold was…well, you know my history with Leopold. I felt like a shell of a person, like no one would even notice if I just disappeared. I was going to do it…I had a plan to end it all. But then, I started to get sick every morning and I missed my period. I figured I had to be pregnant. At first, I was terrified. This was just another way for Leopold to cement his hold over me. However, I did some math and I realized that the baby couldn't be Leopold's. The timing just wasn't right. The baby was Daniel's. For the first time since his death, I felt like I could breathe again. I felt like there was a reason for me to still be on this Earth."

"And what happened to him?" Robin asked softly.

"He died…before he even got a chance to live," Regina replied. "He was stillborn at seven months."

"I'm sorry…" Robin said. "I just don't understand why you've never said anything about him before. I know the pain that I felt when Marian died and the thought of carrying that grief around inside myself, unable to tell anyone, would have been unbearable."

"You know that I'm not the best at expressing my emotions to begin with…" Regina began. "Talking about…" She took a deep breath as she fought back the tears forming in the corners of her eyes. "Talking about him was just too much for me. The only reason that I shared the story with Emma was because she lost Hope. I never wanted someone to feel as alone as helpless as I did back then. I wanted to be there for her. Robin, I know that we need to find Scarlett, but I have never gotten to truly meet my son. I don't know whether we can trust this Lillie girl or not. But, if she says that she knows where to find Elijah, I-I have to at least try and meet him."

"I want to give you this, love," Robin began. "but I'm still worried about Scarlett. She could be in real danger. Taking any time away from trying to find her could put her life in more danger. Plus, we have two children at home who are waiting for us to return."

"I understand both of your points, but Robin, we don't have any leads on how to find her. Lillie seems like she knows the Underworld fairly well. Maybe she can help us." As much as Robin didn't want to admit that she was right, he knew that Regina had a point. The locator potion had been their last hope and now, Scarlett's necklace was gone. They had lost track of it during the gnome attack. They were at an impasse with no other leads to follow.

"Fine," Robin finally agreed. "We can go with her." Before he could say another word, Regina flung herself into Robin's arms.

"Thank you," she muttered sweetly into his ear. After composing herself for a moment, Regina and Robin rejoined Emma and the rest of the teenagers.

"So, you'll come with me?" Lillie asked.

"Yes, I want to go and meet Elijah," Regina replied. "Also, we need to find my daughter, Scarlett. She's the one that we're really down here looking for."

"Do you have a picture?" the teenager asked. Emma quickly pulled out her phone and pulled out the picture of Scarlett that she had thrown Demeter earlier. "Hmm…I've never seen her, but my mom or Eli might know. They're pretty good at keeping tabs on people down here. Come on, let's get going before it gets dark and those little gnome freaks come back." After one encounter with the gnomes, the group wasn't looking for another one and decided to follow Lillie as she led them through the forest.

"So Lillie, where exactly are we going?" Regina asked.

"To my house," the girl replied.

"Is it just you and your mom that live there?" Emma asked.

"No, it's full of people," Lillie said. "It's kind of like an orphanage. All of the kids who pass away before their parents live there. My mom's kind of like their foster mother, so it's kind of like I have a bunch of siblings, which is nice. I never got to have siblings during my time on Earth. My mom tells me that I had two sisters though."

"That's really nice," Henry replied. "I was an only child for most of my life and I can definitely say that having siblings is pretty awesome…most of the time anyway," he added with a laugh.

"I have a little sister as well," Lizzie said, chiming in. "She's a pain in the butt, but I love that little girl to death. She's my best friend."

"Eli is my best friend," Lillie replied. "We're only about a year apart so he's been around for as long as I can remember. A lot of the kids choose to move out when they reach eighteen, but he never did. He loves the kids too much and me and mom, of course." Hearing all these things that Lillie was saying about Elijah was warming Regina's heart. She had always mourned for the life that he never got to live. Hearing that he had friends and someone who was like a mother to him made this whole experience a little bit easier, even if that mother wasn't her. After they had been walking for a while, an old abandoned looking house came into view.

"Lillie, is that it?" Regina asked.

"Yup!" the girl replied. "It's not much, but it's home." The group followed Lillie up to the front door "Maybe, you should just come in first, Regina. He's gonna be very surprised and I feel like this moment is kind of private."

"Umm, sure," Regina replied. "Are you all good out here?" The group nodded.

"Gone on, love, this is your moment," Robin told her. Emma gave her a reassuring smile. She could see from the evident pain in Emma's eyes that this moment was hard for her. Regina knew that Emma would give anything to see Hope just one more time.

"Alright, we'll be out in just a little bit," Regina added before following Lillie into the house.

"Mom! Eli! You home?" Lillie called up the stairs.

"Lillie! Hush! I just got the babies down for their naps!" came the voice of an older woman. They heard the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs and then, a blonde, middle aged woman appeared.

"Lillie, how many times have I told you about yelling when you come into this-" Suddenly, the woman froze and her eyes grew wide. "Regina?" she asked. Almost instantly, Regina knew exactly who she was looking at.

"Hannah?" Regina asked. A smile formed on the woman's face as she raced across the kitchen and pulled Regina into her arms. Though she wasn't fond of hugs, Regina felt herself melt into the woman's embrace. Regina remembered Hannah's kind smile and encouraging words from the night of Elijah's birth many years ago. She remembered how she had been the only person to care for her during that time. However, Regina also remembered how cruel she had been to Hannah after Elijah's death. After taking her memories, Hannah had stayed on as Regina's lady's maid for a few more months. However, looking at her was simply too much for Regina and she treated her pretty badly before firing her and having her removed from the castle. "Oh, Hannah…I-I don't know- I-I'm sorry."

"Hey, it's alright," Hannah replied.

"No, it's not. I was awful to you," Regina said.

"You were grieving," Hannah said. "And I understand why you had to take my memories."

"So, you remember everything now?"

"Yes, after you die, all the magic spells on you are reversed," Hannah explained. "Believe me, I know how hard losing a child is. You have to do everything you can to cope."

"Well, it looks like you've finally found her," Regina said before glancing over at Lillie.

"I sure have," Hannah replied. "Not that I'm not excited to see you, but what are you doing here? Wait? Are you dead? What happened?"

"No, no, I'm not dead," Regina explained. "I'm looking for someone, my daughter, Scarlett."

"You have a daughter?" Hannah squealed.

"Two actually," Regina replied with a laugh. "And, I have two sons and two on the way."

"My goodness, you've been busy," Hannah laughed.

"They're not all mine biologically, but they're all mine in my heart," Regina explained.

"I get that," Hannah said. "That's how I feel about all of these children here. Oh, Regina, you're going to love Elijah. He's so kind and sweet."

"I'm sure he gets that from his father," Regina answered.

"And his mother," Hannah interjected. "Don't try to act tough around me. I know the real you."

"Alright," Regina conceded. "Where is he? Where can I meet my son?" she asked.

"He should be coming back any minute now. He took some of the older kids on a little hike, but it's getting dark so they should be getting back soon," Hannah replied.

"Well, in the meantime, maybe we should bring the rest of the group inside," Lillie interjected. "Like you said, it's getting dark and it's misty tonight so those gnomes are roaming about. I've already had to save them once tonight."

"Gosh, I hate those little freaks," Hannah groaned. "But, of course, bring everyone inside. Who is…everyone though?" she asked as Lillie ran off to bring Robin, Emma, Henry and Lizzie inside.

"My husband and eldest son are with me. Also, my friend Emma is here and-"

"Lizzie!" Hannah suddenly exclaimed, cutting Regina off.

"Mom!" Lizzie exclaimed as she ran into her mother's arms.

"Oh my god, what are you doing here? Are you dead? Please tell me you're not dead. Where is Rosie?" Hannah rambled.

"I'm not dead," Lizzie told her. "And, Rosie is fine. She's with Demeter back in the Enchanted Forest. She's safe."

"Okay…I am very confused." Emma said as she looked between the two women.

"I second that," Lillie said, chiming in, a confused look on her face.

"Lillie, this is your sister, Lizzie," Hannah explained. The teen girl looked confused as she looked between her and her sister. She had heard about her sisters for years from her mother. After all these years to be looking at right at her…in the underworld…even though she wasn't dead, was crazy.

"So, let me get this straight…" Regina said. "Lillie is the baby that you lost all those years ago and Lizzie and Rosie are also your daughters." Hannah nodded. "Also, you're the one who has been taking care of my son in the Underworld." She nodded once more.

"This world is crazy small," Henry retorted. "We're literally all from different realms and still, all of our stories are intertwined."

"Small indeed, my boy," Robin interjected as he clapped a hand on Henry's shoulder. If he had learned anything since meeting Regina for the first time, it was to just go along with things because they rarely seemed to make sense anymore.

"You must be Regina's husband," Hannah said.

"That I am," he replied. "I'm Robin Hood."

"Hannah, nice to meet you," the woman replied as she extended the hand to Robin that wasn't being used to embrace her younger daughter. As if on cue, they heard the front door open once more and a bunch of younger children came inside. They all wore confused looks on their faces as they looked at the strangers in their home.

"Alright guys, everyone inside," came a voice of an older teenage boy. He walked inside and Regina felt her heart stop. Elijah was the spitting image of Daniel. He had his chestnut colored hair and his crystal blue eyes. Upon seeing the group of strangers, Elijah stopped and looked to Hannah. "What's going on?" he asked.

"Elijah, I have someone very special here who wants to meet you," Hannah began. Regina took a step forward towards the boy.

"Hi, Elijah. I'm -"

Before she could get a word out Elijah spoke. "I know who you are."

"You-you do?" The boy nodded.

"Hi, mom," he said quietly before walking straight into her arms. Regina couldn't hold back the tears and she brought her son into her embrace. She had waited for years to be able to do this. At that moment, she forgot about everything. She forgot about Scarlett and the babies growing inside of her. She was finally reunited with her son and that was all that mattered.
