AN: I do not own OUAT

Hey guys! It's been a couple of weeks, I had a good little vacation for my birthday, I had a lot of fun and then all that came to end and I went back to work, and unfortunately, I got news that a guy I graduated with less than a year ago died, so there was that and now here we are! I'm so glad a lot of you guys liked my last chapter, I got a lot of good reviews on it and I hope this one is the same. Enjoy!


Chapter 34: Welcome Anton

That morning, Emma got herself ready, along with Killian and Henry, they were going with her, they lived outside of Stroybrooke and they knew more about what was out there then what both Emma and Rumple knew together.

"Are you sure about this love?" Killian questioned as he sat down on the bed, watching his pregnant wife pack her clothes.

Emma stopped and stood still, "No, but what else are we going to do? He's the dark one, Killian, we can't just say no."

Killian took her hands and held them, having her look down at her, "Why can't we? You're pregnant, you shouldn't be leaving the town's magic, we don't know what that'll do to the baby."

"Henry left the magic when he was less than a minute old, he was fine, I'm sure this baby will be fine, stop worrying," Emma told him, She liked how he worried about her, especially when he was concerned for the baby.

Just then, there was a knock at the door, everybody froze, they knew who it was before even opening it up.

"Ready, Ms. Swan?" Rumple questioned as he stepped through the door of the small cottage.

Emma felt insulted, why was he still using her curse name? "Mrs. Jones actually."

"Do you think we'll be cold where we're going, or warm?" Henry asked wheeling a suitcase out to the door.

"I think layers are always a good idea," Emma told her son as she finished zipping up hers and Killians bag.

"I thought the term of our agreement was pretty clear," Grunted Rumple as he figured out that the young lad was tagging along with them, "You owe me a favour, you alone."

"We're not leaving Henry here with Cora lurking about, and I'm not leaving them both alone with you crocodile, so you either get all of us, or you get none of us," Killian told the old man.

Rumple looked at Killian with those cold dark eyes of his, making sure the pirate knew he was not happy about any of this. "Then I guess we'll have to purchase another plane ticket, won't we?"

"Wait, we're flying?" Emma questioned, she thought they were just gonna go to the next town over or something, but not far enough that they had to take a plane there.

"Don't worry, I'm covering expenses, even the new ones," Rumple told the blonde, unhappily, "Oh, and for Emma to be able to leave the town line I need to pour this onto what you value most," He said as he took out whatever potion was left inside the small vial.

"What about us?" Henry questioned, maybe he thought they needed to have some too in order to leave the town, considering the curse was broken since they had arrived.

Rumple shook his head, "Only Emma, both you and your father outran the curse placing you in the real world, so you have no real loke keeping you in this town unlike your mother who was brought here by the curse," Rumple explained to the young boy as he could see his curiosity peek. "So, Mrs. Jones," He said sarcastically, "What is it you hold the most value to?"

Emma thought about it for a minute, what was it she held so dear to her heart other than her family? Then it clicked to her. Running over to the small nightstand they had next to their bed she opened it up and pulled out a solid gold rattle, Henry's rattle to be exact, the same rattle that brought them back to Storybrooke from the Enchanted Forst and the same rattle that she had specially made for Henry when he was still in her belly.

"Now, make sure this never leaves side," Rumple said as he placed a small drop on the rattle, "if it does, well dearier...you'll go back to being cursed...forever."

"Got it, don't let go of the rattle," Emma said with a nod, understanding the risk she was taking.


Snow was sitting at her kitchen table feeding Neil, knowing that her daughter, son-in-law and grandson were all with the dark one at this very moment, she didn't like it.

Neil made a cohooing noise as he was being fed, making his mommy look down at him, knowing he could feel her worry.

"It's okay, mommy just wishes the rest of our family was here," She said with a smile to her son who was getting bigger and bigger every day, soon he would be teething, and then soon after that walking and climbing everywhere.

"You alright? David asked as he stepped into the kitchen, seeing his wife in a daze.

Snow came out of her thoughts and looked up at him, "Um nothing, just thinking of Emma," She said gently rocking back and forth keeping Neil calm. "So, you like the holster, huh?" Snow questioned as she saw the brown leather straps across his body as he started to place a gun in the holder.

David chuckled, "I miss carrying a sword." The heaviness of a pistol was not the same as a sword in his opinion.

"Well, it looks good on you," Snow told him with a smile as she cleaned herself up as Neil finished his nursing.

"come on. Leroy has the dwarves on Cora watch, they've got eyes everywhere, but they could use help," David told her as he walked over to the door throwing a light jacket on.

Snow got up with Neil over her shoulder as she patted his back, trying to get the younging to burp. "Really? How hard can it be to find a powerful sorceress in a small town?" She questioned as David opened the door about to leave when he bumped into Regina who was about to knock at the door.

"Apparently not very hard," David said back to Snow as they both looked at Regina who was taken off guard.

"Regina, you're back?" Snow questioned knowing that everybody was trying to look for her the past few days but nobody could find her, not even a wolf.

"I know you think I'm responsible for Dr. Hopper's death," She started but was cut off by David before she could even continue with her explanation.

"He's...alive," David said stopping her so she could know they knew he wasn't her and weren't going to try to throw her back in jail.

Regina acted shocked, "What?"

"You were framed," Snow told her apologetically.

"Who would do that?" Regina asked, already knowing the answer, but she needed them to think she didn't know about her mother being here.

"Your mother...she's here," Snow told her in a whisper, trying to be calm and gentle like she always was.

She acted like she felt sick, like what Snow and David were saying couldn't possibly be true, "But that's...that's not possible."

"When Emma and Killian found a way back, so did she," Snow stated to the former Queen as she sighed in frustration, "We were wrong, and we're so sorry."

Regina nodded with no emotion showing in her face, "I know, but if Cora's here, then we're all in danger, especially Henry, you have to let me protect him."

Snow looked up at David who looked down at her, Regina didn't need to protect him because well, for one he had a family who could protect him and another thing was he wasn't even in the town.

"He's not in Storybrooke, actually," Snow told her quickly, hoping Regina didn't get too mad.

"What?" Regina questioned sternly, where was he?

"Rumple asked Emma to help him find his son, and they left town about an hour ago with Henry and Killian," David explained to her.

Regina didn't understand, when the curse was still intact she knew if anybody even got close to the town line, but now? Now she didn't and that angered her, "And nobody thought to tell me?"

Snow looked at her step-mother, as she rocked Neil was starting to ger a little squirmy, "Well honestly Regina, I don't think they have to run anything by you, they're free to leave whenever they want to if they can."

"I suppose you're right," Regina said as she started to feel angry, but because she wanted to show she was a changing person, instead of yelling back and using magic, she just walked away, knowing that would be what's best.

Snow swung her head back as she closed the door, there was always something Regina didn't like, and something always made her angry, "That went well."

David sighed, "With her, it doesn't get much better," He said stating a fact, "Alright, well I have to go find Cora."

"Where?" Snow questioned holding her son, she missed being out there facing whatever was coming there way.

"No idea," David questioned as he kissed his wife and son and then walked out the door.


Rumple, Emma, Killian and Rumple all sat in the car quietly as they approached the town line, nobody knows where they were going except for Rumple himself, which made Henry decide to break the awkward silence the surrounded them.

"So...where are we going?" Henry questioned as he sat in the back with his father.

"Logan international airport," Rumple said to the boy, not really answering the question he was actually asking.

"I think he meant after that," Emma clarified.

"Let's just take things one step at a time, shall we?" Rumple told the family, he, of course, was quite nervous about being in another new world where everything was completely different.

Emma was looking down at her rattle and over at Rumples' shawl, her stomach had the butterflies, or maybe morning sickness, it was hard to tell. "You really think these are going to work?" Emma questioned the driver, scared that she was going to lose all her real memories and go back to being cursed.

Rumple sighed, "Well if they don't and I revert back to my old self we're all gonna have some problems," He told her, pretty much frightening everybody as to what he meant, "It'll work," He then said making sure everybody stayed calm.

As they all approached the town line, Emma was starting to get antsier, she was scared this wouldn't work and then everything that Killian had done since the very moment he arrived in Storybrooke was all for nothing. As the zoomed past the 'Leaving Storybrooke' sign Emma could feel the rush of magic escaping from her body, it was warm but cold at the same time.

"So, love?" Killian quickly asked, looking ahead at Emma, was she still his princess or just the sheriff of Storybrooke once again.

Emma turned around and looked at her husband and son, "It's fine, I'm still me," She told them with a smile, turning over to Rumple, "What about you?" She desperately hoped it worked for him too.

"My name is Rumplestiltskin, and we're gonna find my son," He said with a small not even noticeable smile as his whole body felt warmer the farther they got from Storybrooke, this is what he had been waiting for, for over a decade.


David, Jefferson and the dwarves were all sitting at Grannys' looking at a map of Storybrooke, wondering exactly where Cora would be hiding.

"I just don't understand, how many places can this witch hide?" Jefferson questioned, they had been looking all around for her and not even a trace was found.

David shrugged, "Well, Storybrooke is bigger then we thought, so there are probably places where we haven't even checked yet," He told to the Hatter.

When everybody was distracted by looking at the map of Storybrooke trying to figure out their next course of action Ruby stepped over the to counter, they were so held up that they didn't even hear the doors bell ring.

"Hi, welcome to Grannys' what can I get you?" Ruby asked the newcomer.

The man with long curly brown hair and clothes of not in this time looked around the room, "Where am I?" He questioned confused as he looked around the room.

"You're at Grannys', the best restaurant in town," Ruby told the man, she was a bit confused as everybody who lived here knew about Grannys'.

"No, this town, where am I?" He questioned once again, looking around.

David turned around at the confused man, who was he? Where was he from? Was he from their world, he definitely dressed like it that is. "You're in Storybrooke, where are you from?"

The man looked over at David, "You!" He yelled out as his face grew red with anger and his hands clenched into fists.

"Me?" David questioned confused, what did he do?

The man grew angrier and plunged towards David, taking him by the collar and throwing him across the room, luckily there weren't any other people in the diner except for the workers.

"Het, look buddy...!" Leroy shouted at the man but he was grabbed too and thrown across, what was this man's problem.

Tiny went after David and grabbed him up by his shirt once again, but then an arrow flung across his head, nearly missing him when he looked over to where it came from he saw n older woman with a crossbow in her hand.

"Step away from the King!" Granny yelled out as she didn't lower her bow.

"Don't think I forgot what you did!" The man yelled out as he ran out of the diner in full anger.

Everybody looked over at David, wondering what he could have possibly done to this man to make him want to practically kill him just by the sight of him, David was a charming man, hence his nickname.

"What did you do?" Jefferson asked as he helped his friend up from the ground, who was holding down on his lip where he had a small amount of blood from a lash he must've got when he was thrown across the room.

David looked around, what did he do? He didn't even know the man.

Cora and Regina looked inside of the diner as they stood behind a corner of another building, their plan was going to work out just fine with having Regina get Henry as hers.


Ruby walked into the hospital with a basket of her granny' baked goods, she wanted to come to see Belle or whoever 'Belle' might be now, she wanted to see how she was doing because for a brief moment her and Belle were friends, she was helping her out with the problems of being girlfriend to the dark one, and now she wanted to help her feel safe when she didn't understand what happened to her.

"Hey," Ruby said gently as she walked up next to Belle who was lounging watching TV. She could tell when Belle looked up at her that she didn't remember her at all, "You don't remember me, do you?"

"Um...sorry, no, I...I don't," Belle stuttered as she looked down at the floor.

Ruby sat down next to Belle, she didn't want to scare her, she just wanted to make her feel welcome and safe like she had a friend, "I'm Ruby, you used to come into my Granny's diner a lot before." She could tell Belle was feeling uncomfortable, "Anyway, I...thought you could use some comforts from home, you were always telling me about Jules Verne, so I brought you my favourite...The Mysterious Island."

Belle took the book, she wasn't really the reading type, or that's how she felt anyway, "Thank you," She told Ruby who was being so kind to her, "Were we really friends?" She questioned, she wanted some kind of memory to come back to her mind.

"Yeah, we were," Ruby said kindly with a smile.

"Then tell me the truth, before I was brought here, I was hurt, I was bleeding, and then this man came and he...he healed me," Belle explained to her, getting riled up, as she spoke of the things she saw the night prior of the accident, "Then I saw him hold a ball of fire in his hands, how? How is that possible?" She asked as she could feel her heart rate starting to get faster.

"The nurse said that the tranquillizers can give you wicked nightmares," Ruby tried to explain to Belle, but she wasn't having it, she knew what she saw and she wanted answers.

"I don't need any more tranquillizers or..." She stood up, she was honestly freaking out here, she didn't understand what was going on or where she was, she just wanted answers and nobody was giving them to her.

"Belle, please..." Ruby tried to calm her down, she didn't want her to start freaking out.

There that name was again, Belle! That wasn't her name! "Don't call me that, why does everyone keep calling me that? I don't...I'm telling you I don't..." She was freaking out so much that one of the nurses had to come and sedate her once again.

"Has she been like this the whole time?" Ruby questioned the nurse as she placed her down on the chair again.

"More or less, we've had to keep her heavily sedated," The nurse told Ruby as she helped Belle stand up, "Let's get you back to bed." The nurse helped a sluggish Belle get up and walk to her room where they walked past Greg that was watching in the hallway of it all.

"Everything okay in here?" Greg questioned as he watched the nurse walk Belle.

Ruby had to make sure Greg didn't think anything suspicious was going on as Belle did, they didn't need any more trouble, "Everything's fine Mr. Mundell, she's fine, how are you?" She questioned wondering if the man was going to leave town soon so everybody could stop walking on eggshells.

"Much improved" Greg told her, at least now he could stand and walk.

Ruby smiled, "Well, then rest up, the sooner you're better the sooner you can be out of our quiet little town," She said just before walking off leaving Greg there by himself wondering what was going on here.


Killian, Emma, Henry and Rumple were all at the airport, Rumple was confused on what was going on, he didn't understand this place it was so different to Stroybrooke, Emma thought it was strange to be outside of her home, but she was with Killian, he was watching over her.

"Have you ever been outside of Storybrooke, Mr. Gold?" Henry questioned as they waited in line to go through security.

"No," Rumple told the boy sternly, he didn't have time for this.

"Are you nervous," Henry asked.

Once again he said no.

"Are you nervous about seeing your son again?" Henry had a lot of questions, he was a young boy going on a trip with his family, he was only excited.

"No, Henry, I'm fine!" Rumple spat to the boy in an annoyed tone.

Emma pulled Henry back in the line to her and Killian, "How about we talk about all this later, kid? We're next" Emma suggested, not wanted to get Rumple riled up more than he already was.

Henry stepped up to the security and started placing his belongings inside the small baskets they had for passengers, "It must be really hard not being able to use magic, being like everyone else."

"You've gotta put your shoes in," Killian told his wife and Rumple as he helped Emma with her things.

Rumple narrowed his eyebrows in a confused look, "What? How terribly uncivilized."

"Where's the rattle?" Killian questioned, knowing his wife would have to depart from it for just a split second of time.

Emma patted her small purse as she took a small breath and slowly took it off, placing it inside one of the bins, she could feel herself getting dizzy as she slowly walked to the detector that said if she had anything on her. She knew the magic was leaving her body, so she had to do it fast, each second, she was forgetting more and more about who she really was.

"Here love," Killian quickly made it through the detector and placed the purse back around Emma's neck before he lost her completely once again.

Once the rattle was placed back on Emma's neck she could feel the magic once again and she was back to herself, she could see Killian was worried it was already too late, considering she wasn't supposed to part with it ever. "It's okay, I'm okay," She reassured him.

Rumple was next, he was about to step through when an officer stopped him.

"Scarf and cane in the bin as well please," The officer told him.

"What?" Rumple said frustratingly, he didn't think it would be this hard to get through at an airport.

"Come on, Gold, look, I'm fine," Emma reassured him as she understood the worry that was going through his brain right now as she had just lived it for herself.

Rumple understood more then she did, he understood he could lose himself and then he wouldn't be able to find his son after all the whole curse was meant so he could get to his son.

"Mate, it's alright, just a couple of steps without it," Killian told him, wanting him to hurry up so they could just get on the plane.

Angry and frustrated, Rumple placed the cane in the basket and then the shawl, he felt the magic leaving him and everything in the room went dizzy and almost black, he wanted this to all be over so he could just get to Baelfire. He held onto anything he could as he walked through the detector, it was hard to walk without his cane. Before everything went completely black he felt himself coming back again as Emma grabbed the shawl placing it around his neck again.

"Okay?" Emma questioned as Rumple nodded.

"Guys! There's a Cinnabon here!" Henry exclaimed excitedly, running off to the bakery.

"Cinnabons huh? What have you been feeding our son for ten years, Jones?" Emma questioned him jokingly as he chuckled walking over to join Henry and Rumple right behind them, still feeling out of place in this new world.


Anton sat on a log, overlooking the beautiful river, watching as the ducks splashed in the water and the birds chirped around him. He was lost, he didn't understand where he was. As he heard footsteps from behind him and turned around to see Regina he got scared, angry, and almost murderous once again.

"No, get away from me!" Anton shouted as he pointed at the dark dressed lady coming close to him.

Regina smiled, she wanted to seem like she was a kind person to him, "I'm here to help you," She told him.

"No, I don't need your help!" Anton exclaimed, he only wanted to go back to his quiet home where nobody ever went except for maybe Emma and Killian when they needed help but before their last visit Anton almost killed them because he didn't trust humans. "Don't come any closer or I'll kill you," He shouted as Regina took a couple of steps closer to him.

Regina chuckled, she knew he could do no harm to her, "Look, I hear there's somebody in town that you want to kill, I can help, I have no love for this King either, and if you wanna destroy this town to get to him, well, I'm happy to do my part," She told him with a smile as she reached into her pocket and took out what looked like a small slice of white cake, "This will make you bigger, it will return you to your former glory."

Anton took the small white slice from her, a little cautious as he didn't know who she was but being as trusting as he was he took the slice and bit down on it immediately being surrounded by a blue hue and returning to his once rather large giant size.

Regina laughed, hers and her mothers' plan was going perfect, "As I'm sure you're aware, that magic won't last forever." She watched as the giant walked off towards the town, the ground rattling as he walked.


David heard all the screams coming from outside onto the main street when he peered around a fence he saw the man who had thrown him across the room at Grannys' except this time he was twenty times taller than before.

"Hey, what's the plan?" Snow questioned her husband as she slid up next to him.

David looked over at her surprised, "W-What are you doing here? Where's Neil?"

"Don't worry, Granny called me and told me about what was going on, she said she would watch him until we figured this out, don't worry Neil is safe," Snow told her husband so he wouldn't worry.

Even though David didn't want Snow out on this battle he knew there wasn't anything he could say to make her stop if she wanted to help, she was going to help.

"That's it! Run!" Anton shouted as he threw cars down the road, catching Snow and Davids' attention once again.

Snow and David immediately ran towards the people that were shouting and running, "Go to the town hall, bring anyone you find on the way!" David instructed the people, "And somebody get Leroy!"

"I never thought a giant would be so..." She couldn't get the words out of her mouth, just looking up at the very tall man, it made her speechless.

"Big? Ever stop one before?" David questioned.

"Nope!" Snow answered back, back in their land, giants never came down the beanstalk.

"Well...here's to new firsts," David told her as he then ran ahead of her and shouted at the giant, "Wait! You don't have to do this!"

"Yeah, I do! You destroyed everything in my life! Now you're gonna know what that feels like...James!" Anton shouted at David, the man who had taken his family away from him because he trusted him, and then he got betrayed.

Then David was struck back, everything made sense to him now, James...of course, it was him, James was the one that hurt Anton "The man who hurt you...that wasn't me, that was my twin brother, James. We were separated at birth, he was raised by a ruthless King."

"You're not James?" Anton questioned, James was the one he really wanted, the one he wanted to rip apart just like he had done to his family, "Where is he then?"

"He paid the ultimate price for his arrogance, he's dead! There is nothing more you can do to him" David told him clearly, hoping Anton would calm down knowing his enemy was taken by his own karma.

"We're on your side, Anton! We're good, In fact, I believe you know our daughter Emma, you were the only that helped her and her husband get back home to us" Snow shouted as she ran next to her husband.

"Emma? Let me talk to her, she says you're okay, then I'll stop," Anton said making a deal with them.

Snow stammered, what was she suppose to do now, "She's kind of out of town! But when she gets back, I know she'll really wanna talk to you."

"How convenient, everyone I'm looking for isn't around! All you humans do is lie and cheat and kill, and I'm sick of it!" Anton shouted as he got mad, starting to run after David, Snow and Leroy.

"Let me get this straight, after all this time, you got a twin brother and I am just now learning of this?" Leroy asked David as they ran down the streets with the giant chasing them.

"Yeah!" David answered back.

"Who's name is James...I thought you were James," Leroy told him, I guess he never really got to know Davids real name with everyone calling him Charming back home.

"No, it's not," David told him.

"It's Charming then?" Leroy questioned trying to figure out who David was back home.

"No, that's the nickname I gave him!" Snow told Leroy breathless, she really had to get back in shape after having this baby.

"Well, what the hell is your name? " Leroy wanted to know.

"David!" Why were they even discussing this right now?

"Your curse name?" Leroy asked, how come it's taking him over thirty years to find out his majesties real name?

"My real name!" David told him.

"What you're David, James, and Charming? Is David like a middle name" Leroy asked, this man had to many names to keep track of?

"No! My name name!" David told him for the last time.

Leroy got fed up he was done trying to figure this name thing out, "You know what? I'm gonna call you whatever I damn well please!"

"So what's the plan?" Snow questioned as they ran around a corner wanting to know if they were going to do something or just run until they couldn't take it anymore.

"Lead the giant away from here so he can't hurt anyone," David explained to her, which was the only thing he could come up within such a short time.

Snow didn't understand something about that plan, in this direction was the end of the town, "But if we keep heading in this direction we're gonna hit the town line!" She shouted to her husband.

"Okay, new plan" David suggested as he stopped running and turned around to see Anton right behind them.

"What are you doing?" Snow questioned as she watched her husband start to walk towards him.

"Giving him what he wants," David told her, "Anton, how about we make a deal?" He asked as he got Anton to stop running.

"I don't make deals with humans," Anton exclaimed for what seemed like the thousandth time today.

David just wanted Anton to calm down, "Just hear me out, I'll surrender myself to you if you spare the lives of everyone in Storybrooke."

Snow immediately ran up to him, what was he thinking, he couldn't do this? He never gave up like that. "David you can't do this, we have a newborn son together, and another grandchild on the way."

"If I don't, the whole town will suffer. I can't allow that" He told his wife, he just wanted to make sure everybody was safe, especially his family. "Well, what do you say?"

Anton thought about it for a minute, but he wasn't really thinking, he already knew his answer, "Deal!" He ran to him and jumped about tp stomp right on top of David, surely it would have killed him but Snow pushed David out of the way and when they looked up from all the dust Anton created, they saw him stuck in the hole his body formed, grunting to get out. But suddenly the blue hue surrounded him once again making him look invisible to everyone else.

"Where did he go?" Snow questioned as she looked up to see Anton the giant gone.

"I don't know," David told her as he got up to go inspect the hole only to see Anton hanging on to a pipe. "Leroy, get me some rope."

Leroy hurried off and grabbed a rope that he had found laying on the docks, immediately he tied it well and good around a poll and had all the dwarves grab ahold of it. David was gonna go rescue this giant.

"After what he's done, most people would kill him," Snow told him.

"You wouldn't," David told her as he placed a soft and gentle kiss among her lips as he knew this was going to be dangerous. He picked up the long rope that swung down into the deep pit, making sure to have a tight grip as he lowered himself down to be next to Anton. "All right Anton, I'm coming down!" David shouted to the not so giant, giant. "Take my hand," David told him as he reached down.

"No!" Anton shouted back, "I don't wanna go back up there, I should just let go," Anton suggested to himself, he was ashamed of what he had done, it's so easy to be the bully when you're the size of a skyscraper to everyone else.

"You'll die," David told him, saying the honest truth.

"Maybe death hurts a lot less than life," Anton told his companion.

What did his brother do to this poor giant? David thought, "If you really wanted to die you would have let go already," David said keeping his hand extended out for Anton to take, "Now take my hand," He tried to sound aggressive so the giant thought he was intimidating, and it worked, Anton grabbed his hand. "Okay Leroy, pull us up!"

Leroy and the dwarves pulled as hard as they could, it was hard now with two people on the rope rather than one, but they could still manage of course.

"Come on! A little more!" Snow shouted. Her heart was racing in her chest, she wouldn't know what to do without David by her side in life.

Anton reached up and grabbed the ledge of the hole, having people pull him up and out as David did the same thing behind him, immediatly getting hugged by his wife and at that moment Anton suddenly felt like humans were no longer risks.

"You saved my life," Anton told the King who had saved him.

"Well, that's what we do," Snow told the rescued giant.

"We're, not all the same Anton, I don't know what my brother did to you, but...that's not us.

Anton shook his head, "You have no idea." Flashbacks of the day James and Jack came and killed his family for their treasure circled around Anton's mind, almost every day, for years he wanted revenge on the ones who done him wrong, but now, he felt different, he felt like he was apart of something now and not just running from his own feelings.


Belle was stuck in her hospital bed once again, looking over the book that Ruby had given her, but she ended up throwing it to aside, she just wasn't really into reading books, she'd rather be watching TV or browsing through the internet with a drink in her hand.

"Hey."

When Belle looked up to see a man, she was a little frightened considering everybody who's talked to her lately was always trying to tell her things that just didn't make sense.

"It's okay, my name is Greg, okay? I-I'm a patient here, just like you, I-I'm really sorry to bother you, but, I'm the one that was driving the car in the accident," Greg explained to her as he stepped into her room, rolling his IV bag with him.

"Oh, are you okay?" Belle asked, just maybe she was actually talking to somebody who wasn't crazy.

"Yeah, they um, patched me up pretty good," He told her as he went and sat down next to her on her bed, "Look, I overheard you talking, about how you saw a guy with a ball of fire."

She knew it! She knew this guy was gonna try to tell her otherwise just like everybody else, "You think I'm crazy too, Well... I did see it. I..." She was trying to explain to him but he cut her off.

"Hey, I know that you're not crazy, 'cause I saw it too," Greg told her as they both exchanged looks to one another. Belle was right, she did see what she saw, she just wasn't hallucinating at the time.


Snow was standing outside of Grannys holding Neil, looking out into the darkness of the night as David came back with their hot beverages he had gone to order a few minutes back.

"Here's to not getting squashed by a giant," David announced as he passed Snows' drink over to her.

Snow gasped, "I'll drink to that," She said as they banged cups together in happiness, as they went to sit down at one of the tables Granny had placed outside the diner.

"You know, sometimes I wonder how things would've turned out if I had been the one raised by King George instead of my brother," David told his wife, "You know, would I have been...corrupt like him? Same blood ran through our veins."

Snow hummed, she understood what he meant but there was no way he could have ever ended up like James, "But your hearts are different. You may not believe it, but trust me, I know you Charming," She said jokingly, "Anyway I had a lot of fun today."

"Almost getting killed is considered fun?" David asked with a chuckle.

Snow smiled as she looked down at her son, of course getting killed wasn't fun because then her children wouldn't have a mother but just been out there having the risk was always a rush to her. "Yeah. I missed our adventures."

David chuckled, "Me too, it was kinda fun." He brushed his son's head as he saw him looking up at the stars trying to reach out for one. "You know we could do this all the time, I heard Anton speaking to the dwarves, he has a magic bean with him and if he plants it here and the beans grow, we could go back, everyone could go home."

Snow shrugged, "I don't know." Of course, she wanted to go back home so badly and be how things used to be, but things were different now.

"What don't you know?" David asked confused and almost frustrated like he wanted her to go.

"Home is where our family is, do you think Emma and Killian would want to go back? Especially after seeing how dangerous it was when they were there, they have Henry to think about, he's never been there and now there's going to be a new baby coming," She explained to him, "I don't want to be separated from her like she was with Henry."

"I understand, I'm worried about her too, but, Emma...Emma can take care of herself, and I'm sure wherever she and Killian are, they're safe," David told his wife, trying to make her at ease with how she worried about Emma not wanting to go back home with her family, where she was from.


Killian, Emma and Henry all sat together as Rumple was in the row next to them, Henry had been scarfing down his box of Cinnabon that Emma had bought for him, mother of the year and Emma was thinking about something that she had been worrying about ever since she saw that positive pregnancy test.

"What is it, love?" Killian questioned as he placed his artificial hand, that he had changed into before leaving Storybrooke onto her hand.

Emma looked up at him as she was taken from her thoughts, "Nothing," She lied, she didn't want to worry him right now.

"No, you can tell me, remember the day we made a vow to always be truthful with one another?" Killian asked as he arched one of his brows.

Emma smiled as if it was just yesterday, how could she forget that argument.

"Killian we're supposed to be getting married! You have to tell me these things!" Emma shouted from across the room as tears ran down her face.

"Emma, I'm sorry, I didn't want you to think I was still that man!" Killian told her as he grabbed her and hauled her close to him. He had felt nothing but anger when he had found out that the Queen paid a visit to Emma and told her about how she had hired him to kill her mother years before they had even met.

"We have to start telling each other things, even if it includes things from our pasts," She told him as she placed her tear-soaked face onto the leather of his uniform.

"Aye love, I promise from this day forward I'll be nothing but honest and tell you everything," He swore upon the gods as he hugged his soon to be wife close to his body.

"So, what is it?" Killian questioned once again.

Emma looked over at Henry who was way to busy eating his Cinnabon, "I'm worried about Henry," She told him.

Killian was confused, "Henry's fine, love."

"I know, but I mean when this baby comes, we just got reunited not long ago after ten years, I don't want him to think we're just trying to replace what we never got with him," Emma explained to her husband who was very in tune to what she was saying.

"He won't and if you're that worried about it, we'll have a chat with him before the little bean is born, alright?" Killian said wrapping his arm around her shoulder.

Emma nodded, she could agree with that, but would Henry understand? That's what she was worried about.
