Four months later, at the Queen's Castle, Snow White and Prince Charming were arguing with the Queen while the Doctor, Aurora and Prince Phillip watched them. Snow and Charming had gotten pregnant, and they were debating whether it was the best time to reveal the news to the kingdom. Of course, the Queen was against the idea. Not if there was a Wicked Witch on the loose. But Snow thought it was a great idea. To give the kingdom hope.
"There's nothing dangerous about rallying our people," Charming said.
The Queen sighed. "You're announcing you're pregnant," she told him. "It's not that you invented the wheel."
"Might I add, both are remarkable accomplishments," the Doctor said before they were interrupted by the footsteps of another person entering the room. They all turned around and looked at the hooded person.
"What's this?" Charming asked, wondering who was under the hood. And why they were here.
The doctor also stared at the hooded person. "No. Not what. Who," he corrected.
The person pulled back the hood, and they all saw who it was. It was Belle. The Doctor approached her. "Belle!" He said gleefully and hugged her. "Oh, it's good to see you." But then it dawned on him. She was here. His son was not. And neither were Clara and Baelfire. "Where are the others?"
Belle took a deep breath. "We went off to see if we could revive the Dark One."
"What happened?" The Queen asked.
"Neal was able to resurrect him," Belle said, then sighed. "With the cost of his own life."
"Rumple's alive," the Queen said, somewhat pleased. Now, she could ask her old teacher to help them defeat the Wicked Witch.
"Neal's dead?" Snow asked, saddened by the news. Emma loved him so much. And now to hear he was dead before she could meet him again?
"I think so," Belle answered.
"Hang on," the Doctor said. "There were two questions. To which are you referring?"
"Both. When Rumple saw that Neal was dying … he absorbed him, and Zelena got a hold of the dagger. So now, she controls Rumple. And now she's after the Professor and Clara's baby. She said a Time Lord baby is very precious."
The Doctor frowned at hearing this. "Where are they now?" he asked Belle.
"I don't know. But wherever they went, the Professor said you could find them with the TARDIS. They were adamant that it was safer,"
"Yes. Of course," the Doctor said, beginning to smile. "The Wicked Witch may not have the means to break into the TARDIS. She may not know how to do it. They'd be safe if I could materialise around my son and Clara. Unless, of course, this witch stands too close to them."
Aurora exchanged a look at Prince Phillip before stepping closer. "Maybe now isn't the best time to
announce the pregnancy?" She suggested. "Regina is right. It's too dangerous."
"No, if we don't, we give in to fear. But, if we do, we give the kingdom what they need ... hope," Snow said.
"What if she still wants your baby?" Aurora blurted out. Everyone looked at her.
"I thought Belle said she wanted the Professor and Clara's?" the Doctor asked. "My grandchild."
"She came to us when you were all gone," Phillip said. "Threatened our unborn child and us unless we told her when you arrived in our land."
"She thought your baby, Snow, could be important," Aurora said. "She said she'd hurt us. I am so sorry."
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in from the balcony, and the Wicked Witch flew in and descended in front of them. "And I make good on my promises," she said as Aurora and Phillip began to back away in fear. But it was no good. The Wicked Witch flicked a hand, and she engulfed the two of them in a cloud of green smoke, transforming them both into flying monkeys. They shrieked and fluttered away.
The Doctor straightened his bowtie and walked up to meet her. "What do you want with my grandchild?" he asked her.
"Calm down," the Wicked Witch said, then smirked. "I don't have her yet." She let out a small chuckle. "But you of all people should know just how special Time Lord DNA is. Considering you are one." She walked past the Doctor and looked over at Snow.
Prince Charming drew his sword and aimed it at the green witch. "Stay away from my wife!" he threatened.
The Wicked Witch turned to face him. "Oh, someone's testy," she said, magically freezing him.
The Queen stepped forward. "Enough, sis. This is between you and me," she said and raised her right hand to strangle her older half-sister magically. But the Wicked Witch was faster, and she froze her in place first.
Her attention went back to the Doctor. "Now, your grandchild ... It will do quite nicely. Tell your son and his girlfriend to take care of it for me," she said with a smirk. "But if they don't, I have a backup." She took a glance at Snow, then looked at the Doctor again. "I will be back for their happy day. And what's theirs will be mine. I'll see them soon." She turned around and headed for the balcony window - unfreezing David and the Queen - before she grabbed her broomstick and sat on it and flew out of the castle.
