Author's note: I'm doing scenes back and forth, from 6 weeks ago and present. 6 weeks ago, they have theirs names used in the enchanted forest and in Storybrooke will be used the names what was given them. I hope that it makes sense.
Now on with the story.

Emma walked in the room and saw her double sitting at the table, drinking some wine. "Did they believed you?" Her double asked to her.
"Yes, of course they believed it." Emma turned into Caitlynn again. "They even asked where I was."
"Mission accomplished." Emma comment as she held up her wine.
"I can't drink." Caitlynn rubbed on her small bump.
"I know." Emma nodded. "I will drink for both of us."
"Hmm mmm." Caitlynn hummed as then she walked to the refrigerator and grabbed some food. "Hmmm, the baby is making me hungry."
"Yeah, I can tell." Emma nodded.
Just then Caitlynn had a thought. "I think we should tell Henry what happened and my mom and dad."
"Henry's first." Emma comment, looking at her.
"If he asks for you." Caitlynn took a bite into her food.
"He will." Emma told her firmly.
"I know." Caitlynn nodded. "My adopted parents would want to know what's really going on. They even found it strange that I wasn't there at all."
Emma nodded to her. "Okay."

The birds were chirping as Henry comment. "Wow."
"Wow is right." Charming comment also.
"I am so not dressed for this." Snow sighed, holding her baby in her arms still.
"His Royal Highness, King Arthur." A man announced.
Then King Arthur came to them and told. "And now allow me to introduce the loveliest creature in all of Camelot... my Queen, Guinevere."
Just then Queen Guinevere walked down the stairs, when she arrived by them, they all bowed as Snow told her. "Your Majesty."
"The pleasure is ours." Queen Guinevere took her husband's hand. "We have been awaiting your arrival from the moment we heard Merlin's prophecy."
"Well, we hope you haven't been waiting too long." Charming joked.
"Only a decade or so." King Arthur joked back.
Charming chuckled. "Ah, sorry."
"I'll wager it's been worth the wait." King Arthur looked at them all. "And as a bonus, it's given us more than enough time to prepare a ball in your honour tonight."
Grumpy looked at Granny. "Oh, see, told you we should come. Look what we've been missing out on."
"I like any party I don't have to cater." Granny comment.
"So do we." Grumpy told her.
Then Zelena whispered to her sister. "Is this really necessary?"
"You're lucky you're not locked in Granny's freezer." Regina whispered back.
"Take it off." Zelena held up her wrist that had a cove on. "Or I tell Arthur he just welcomed the Dark One into his..." Just then Regina used her magic on her sister, to silence her.
"What's that, sis?" She leaned a little closer to Zelena. "I can't hear you." She mocked. "No one here knows who we are, and it's gonna stay that way. So you can either behave and pretend to be my mute handmaiden or go back to Granny's where you can rely on Doc for prenatal care."
"We don't have time to waste on a bloody dance." Hook whispered to his girlfriend.
"I'm not going to go dark in one night." Emma comment to him.
"I'm not willing to take that chance." Hook told her as then he spoke to King Arthur. "Your Majesty... When are we gonna start our quest to find Merlin?"
"Wh... find him?" King Arthur looked at him. "We don't need to find him. We know exactly where he is."

"He's in a bloody tree." Caitlynn exclaimed, she stood next to her adopted mother.
"So, the most powerful sorcerer in all the realms is stuck inside a bloody tree?" Hook asked, pointing at the tree.
"I said the same exact thing the first time I stood there." King Arthur replied to him.
"And you think we can get him out?" Emma asked him.
"Oh, we don't think... we know." King Arthur replied to her. "Merlin's prophecies are never wrong."
"Why are you so eager to free him?" Percival asked to them all.
"Our home is being threatened by..." Charming was the one that replied to him. "It's called the Dark One."
King Arthur nodded to him. "The Dark One." He told them. "Yes, we're well aware of that demon. That is bad. Well, I pray Merlin can help. But, first, we must free him from his prison. It is said one of you is the Saviour. So which of you is it?" He looked at each one of them.
"I..." Emma wanted to say she was the saviour, but Regina hold into the dagger as she stepped forwards.
"I am the Saviour." She replied to him. "I'm the one who's going to free Merlin from that tree, and then we can take care of the Dark One. And all go home."
"I knew she shouldn't gave away the dagger." Caitlynn muttered, her adopted heard her.
"I know." Amelia nodded to her.

On the docks Henry called for his mother. "Emma Swan, Emma Swan, Emma Swan."
Then both Emma and Caitlynn appeared next to him. "Henry." Emma comment.
"Mom? Aunt Caitlynn?" Henry asked, unsure.
Then Emma reached for Henry's hand, but he pulled away from her. "You don't have to be scared of me." Emma told her son.
"What happened? Why are you like this now?" Henry asked to them.
"A lot." Caitlynn replied as then she gave him her number. "If you want to talk." He grabbed it confused. "Someone's coming here."
Emma sighed. "It's complicated."
"I'm sorry, Mom." Henry looked sad. "Whatever happened in Camelot, I'm sorry we failed you."
Emma had to rethink what her sister had told her. "I know what I said last night, but, Henry, you didn't fail me. Everyone else did."
"Get away from my son." Regina shouted, walking towards them.
"What's the matter, Regina?" Emma had a snarl in her face. "Are you afraid Henry will learn the truth about what happened in Camelot?"
Regina looked at them. "If the truth is so important to you, why did you erase our memories?"
"I didn't." Caitlynn replied to her.
"It's a curse, Regina." Emma sighed.
"I know, but what I can't figure out is why." Regina frowned.
"If I wanted you to know, I wouldn't have erased your memories." Emma looked at her.
"You know we won't stop until we get them back." Regina told her.
"We know." Caitlynn comment to her.
"It's not going to happen, Regina, because I did learn from you, and I built this curse without the one thing you need to break it... A saviour." Emma added.
"Hmm. Well, we'll find a way. We always have." Regina told them.
"Yes, with me." Emma nodded as Caitlynn added. "Now you're on your own."
Henry looked at his adopted mother. "You can do it, Mom. You can be the Saviour."
"It's not going to happen." Caitlynn told to Regina.
"You don't think I have it in me?" Regina asked to them.
"We know you don't." Emma replied to her.
"Well, you're wrong." Regina shook with her head. "I can protect this town."
"We'll see about that, because there's a problem headed to Storybrooke that only a saviour can solve." Emma told her.
Then Caitlynn added. "It's too bad there isn't one."

In Merlin's tower, Regina, Caitlynn and Emma were walking around as Regina comment to the twins. "Merlin's tower. There must be something in here to help get him out of the tree."
"Never do that to me again." Emma snarled at Regina.
"Oh, now you're talking to me." Regina argued.
Emma looked angry. "I don't know... Am I allowed to?"
"You gave this to me." Regina sighed as she held up the dagger.
"To protect me, not use against me." Emma told her.
"We trust you, not the abuse it." Caitlynn sighed.
Regina looked at Emma. "I saved your life."
"By pretending to be me?" Emma asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh, shut up and listen." Regina comment as Emma tried to speak and finds she can't. "Oh. I can get used to this." Caitlynn gritted with her teeth. "Look, if you told Arthur you were the Saviour, he would have asked you to free Merlin. You would have had to use magic... dark magic. Do you remember what happened last time you dabbled in that?"
"I lost control." Emma told her, not looking at her.
Caitlynn looked at her sister. "We lost control, sis." Emma nodded to her.
"And you gave me this dagger so that wouldn't happen again. But I wasn't lying. I don't care what Merlin's prophecy says. I'm gonna figure out how I can get that wizard out so you won't ever have to use dark magic again. So, really, Swan, you should be thanking me."
Emma is forced to respond to the command, since Regina was holding the dagger. "Thank you."
Regina looked at her. "Whatever." She comment.
"Regina..." Emma said softly this time. "I mean it. Thank you."

Sometime later, Emma, Caitlynn, Amelia and Snow were in Emma room to get ready. Aubrey was by Grumpy's friend and her baby uncle, it was late for her to be by the ball. "I remember my first ball. I was 8 years old, and my mother said I was finally old enough to go." Snow told to her daughters. "It was magical... All of the lights, the music. And I remember thinking, I can't wait to someday share all of this with a daughter or two of my own."
"I'm glad I get to share it with you, too, Mom." Emma told her mother as she grabbed her hand.
"Me too, mom." Caitlynn looked at her mother, smiling. Then she looked at her adopted mother. "I'm glad that you are here too, mom."
"Me too, sweetie." Amelia smiled at her. "It will be magical."

They were all announced the staff as then not much later, the ball was begun. They were dancing and had fun as there was a man that they didn't know about walked towards Caitlynn, Amelia and Jackson. "Well, hello distant cousin." The man looked at Jackson.
"Who the hell are you?" He asked rudely.
"I'm Jonathan Sparrow-Swann." The man, Jonathan replied to him.
"Distant?" Jackson asked confused.
"Yes." Jonathan nodded to him. "You know our common ancestor."
Jackson nodded. "Yes, Jack Sparrow." He told him.
"Don't forget Madelyn Swann, who's married to him and had two children." Amelia told to the men.
Jonathan nodded to her. "I couldn't forget and your ancestor is?"
"Wouldn't you like to know." Amelia replied mysterious. "Hmm, I give a guess." She looked at him. "Calypso."
Jonathan's eyes widen. "What?!" He exclaimed to her.
"Yes." Amelia nodded to him.
"Believe me, mate, it's true." Jackson told him.
"I believe you, but it's never in de legend that she had never had a child." Jonathan said, looking at Amelia.
"Don't believe it." Amelia told him. "It will confuse yourself."
"I guess." Jonathan said to her.
Just then, there was something going on by Regina, Robin tackled Percival and they began to wrestle for control of the sword. Emma raised her hand to use magic to stop Percival. Hook grabbed her hand. "No, Swan! You can't use dark magic."
Then Charming runs over and stabbed Percival with his sword, but not before Percival stabbed Robin in the side as Regina rushed over to him. "Robin! Robin! No! No! No, no, no! No!" Robin was breathing heavily. "No."

By Emma's house, Regina stormed into, shouting. "Swan! Sparrow! Where the hell are you?"
Emma and Caitlynn appeared for her as Emma replied to her. "You know, it's customary to bring a gift for a housewarming. Maybe a nice bottle of wine."
Regina looked at the twins. "We need to talk."
"I suppose we could bottle that rage and drink it instead." Emma told her.
"I can't drink." Caitlynn comment.
"You're right... I'm not the Saviour." Regina told her, sighing.
"Glad you finally caught up with the rest of us." Emma comment to her.
"I don't have a choice." Regina sighed. "I know the only way to stop the Fury is to pay its price."
"Then why aren't you off paying it?" Caitlynn asked, frowning at her.
"Because I know what it is." Regina replied to her. "A life. I won't sacrifice someone else to save Robin."
Emma stepped forwards to her. "Now you're going to be heroic? Now life is precious to you?"
"Pathetic." Caitlynn hissed at her.
"Emma... Caitlynn… Listen to me." Regina looked at the twins. "I know you. The good you... is still in there."
"You of all people know there are no good or bad versions of ourselves." Emma looked at her. "It is just me."
"People have the good and the bad." Caitlynn told her cryptic.
"Then call the Fury off." Regina looked at them. "It's your test."
"No." The twins said on the same time.
Regina raised an eyebrow. "No?"
"Let me make myself clear, Regina..." Emma hissed. "I am done fixing your problems."
"My problems?!" Regina shouted to her. "You started this. You called it here."
"Oh, you think she did this?" Caitlynn asked as she pointed at her sister.
Regina looked at them. "Would I be here otherwise?"
"That's your problem, Regina..." Emma replied to her. "You're always looking for someone else to blame. I did not summon that monster. The price is not mine to pay."
"Then whose is it?" Regina asked confused.
"Yours." Caitlynn replied to her.
"You are the one who did not pay the price of magic in Camelot." Emma added, walling towards her, so that she walked out of the house. "You want to save Robin Hood? You want everyone to believe you're the Saviour? Then step up and do what needs to be done!" Then she used her magic to close the door.

In the tower, they lied Robin on the table as Snow asked Regina. "Can you heal him?"
Regina attempts to use magic to heal Robin, but her hands glow purple. Robin gasped, whimpered as Charming asked. "Why didn't it work?"
Regina waved her hand over the sword. "This sword was enchanted to kill me. My magic can't heal him." Then Regina turns to Emma and Caitlynn. "But maybe you two can."
"No." Hook with his head. "No, we can't let her use dark magic."
Amelia nodded. "We really can't do that."
Snow looked at Regina. "Regina, this was the whole point of your pretending to be the Saviour."
"The whole point was not for Robin to die." Regina glanced at the twins. "And I'm not asking you. I'm asking... I'm asking them."
"I don't know what will happen if I use my powers again." The twins told her on the same time.
"I can use that dagger to make you two do this, but I'm not." Regina looked at them. "I'm asking you two. I've lost love before, and I won't again. Please. Save him."
Just then Amelia shook her head. "They shouldn't do it, I will do it."
"What?!" Regina exclaimed.
"I don't know if you got the memo, but I have earth magic, it's stronger than believe magic." Amelia replied to her. "I can heal him." Then she glanced at the twins. "They don't have to use theirs."
"She healed me ones." Snow told to Regina.
Regina nodded, glancing at Snow. "Okay, I trust her."
"After this, you will trust me too." Amelia told her as then she walked over to Robin and used her magic on him.
He was healed fully as he gasped awake as Regina rushed over to him. "Robin! Robin."
Robin looked at his soulmate. "Regina."
"Thank you." Regina told to Amelia.
Amelia nodded to her. "Your welcome."
Just then King Arthur came to them. "I hope you'll accept my apology. We don't normally try and kill our guests in Camelot. Percival's actions were inexcusable."
"But he was right. I am the Evil Queen." Regina told him.
"Camelot is a place of second chances." King Arthur looked at her. "Who you were doesn't matter, just who you are. And if you were able to save him with your magic, then you really are the Saviour Merlin prophesied."
Regina nodded to him. "Thank you."

Caitlynn looked at Emma. "My mother is calling me." She told her.
"Go." Emma told her.
"Okay." Caitlynn nodded as she disappeared in grey/purple smoke.
When she appeared by her mother, she her, her father and her daughter by Gold, he was still unconscious. "Mom, dad, Aubrey, sweetheart."
"What the hell happened in Camelot?" Jackson asked to his daughter.
"I will tell you." Caitlynn replied to her father.
-0-
Later, when she was finished telling them the whole story, her mother gasped. "OMG." She looked at Jackson. "You have a distant cousin in Camelot."
"So I have heard." Jackson nodded to her as Aubrey had fallen asleep on his lap.
"Yes, his name is Jonathan Sparrow-Swann." Caitlynn told them truthfully.
Jackson looked at Caitlynn. "Distant, huh."
"Yes." Caitlynn told him.
"Okay, is he here in Storybrooke?" Jackson asked to her.
"I would think so." Caitlynn replied to him. "I don't know how many people we brought back here." She looked very guilty.
"We can look for him." Amelia suggested.
Jackson nodded. "Yeah."
Then Amelia changed the subject. "So, how do you feel?"
"Good." Caitlynn replied to her. "The Baby also, but I want my husband back. I miss him terribly."
"I understand." Amelia nodded. "I couldn't without my husband either." She said as he glanced at Jackson.

Meanwhile with Emma, she sat by the table as she fingers the Dark One dagger. Then Rumpelstiltskin appeared. "What's the matter, dearie? Feeling left out?"
Emma jumped as then she stood up. "What are you doing here? I already embraced the darkness."
"You did, but I'm back because there's more work to be done... Something bigger than both of us." Basement door creaks open. "As long as the dark ones existed, one thing has always held us back. The pull of the family we were so desperate to protect." Emma walked down. "The friendships that make it impossible to forget who we used to be. The magic that threatens to undo our most evil deeds." Then she saw the sword. "And, worst of all... The love that refuses to give up on us. You see, no matter how hard we try, we can't escape the reach of the light. But, Emma Swan, you can change that. That's why you brought that sword here." She lied down the dagger by the sword. "You can do what no Dark One before you has ever done. You can make that weapon whole again and use it to snuff out the light... forever." Then she attempt to pull the sword from the stone, but was blasted back. "Did you really think it would be that simple, dearie? If you want that sword, you're gonna have to pay the price."
Emma just glared at him as she wanted her sister with her. She sighed heavily, looking at the sword and dagger that lied beside it, the sword was still in the stone.
