"Magic is all about emotion. But one thing that I've learned is, never use your anger to channel the power inside. It'll consume you slowly." Regina whispered playfully, "Trust me, I know."

"I'm sure you do," Evie giggled.

"Are you ready?"

Honestly, Evie is quite unsure. "I don't know. Magic had never been a good thing for me and the fact that now I have it…" She sighed, lowering her sight to her fingertips. "It's strange."

"Not all magic is dark. It all be okay if you use it for good."

"Of course, light magic."

"What you have is light magic, Evie. Lightest of them all." After all, Evie is the product of—not just true love—soulmates. Regina couldn't hide her excitement; it's written all over her face. "Okay, so for today's lesson, I want you to conjure anything you'd like."

"How do I do that?"

"For starters, closing your eyes might help. Just follow my voice."

Evie could hear the rustling sound of footsteps upon the fallen leaves. She could feel her mother walking around her in circles.

"Try to picture it in your mind. You have to see what you want to conjure clearly. Control your magic, feel them rushing in your vein – emanating from your palm. You might feel a tingling sensation at first." Evie nodded understandingly. Her brows furrowed, her nose scrunched. It is highly visible Evie was giving her all, yet she couldn't feel the tingling sensation like her mother instructed.

"I can't do it." She sighed, still trying to channel her power.

"Silly baby," Regina giggled. "Open your eyes."

She didn't expect to see her father there, his hands on her mother's hip and smiling a proud smile, it looks. Evie couldn't hold her giggles seeing her parents being too mushy. Another thing she realized was a scrumptious red apple sitting in her palm. She squealed in joy.

"All you have to do is trust yourself, princess." Robin was proud, so proud, anybody who saw him could tell.

Evie smiled mischievously before blue smoke appeared in her hands, revealing another two exact apples. "For each of us."

"Look who's getting the hang of it." That left her flabbergasted. Her baby learns quickly and she is well pleased.

"I learned a lot from my mother." Evie looking at her parents back and forth, "So, uh–" She raised her apple proudly, "Cheers. To family. To our forever."

Robin then implied, "I refuse to believe there won't be more exciting things. Life will always throw us curveballs. It will always test how strong we are as a family. But I believe, we will beat against all odds. We are going to conquer it together, always."

Regina was simply overwhelmed by everything. The good can come from broken. She has her second chance, she had chosen love over hate, and held her hopes high. That was not an easy journey, but it was all worth it. Biting back her tears, Regina raised hers, ready to embrace the uncertainty coming their way.

"Always."
