It was a few days for August, Regina, Henry and Luxe before they returned home. They had to take the time to prepare their stuffs and to unsubscribe Luxe and Henry from college.
When they got to Storybrooke, it was Olympian calm. Maleficent, Emma, Hook, David, Belle, and Rumple were missing. Regina was very worried.
As August walked to the workshop to introduce her daughter to her father, Regina met Snow White who told her about all the mishaps they had happened to them in their absence. In Camelot, Emma had turned Hook into a dark one and when he learned it in Storybrooke, he had taken it very badly. Emma resolved to kill him to destroy all the shadows but Rumple had managed to deflect all that and become the shadow again with all the powers of the shadows together. Finding this unfair, Emma and her parents along with Rumple, Belle and Maleficent had to bring back Hook in Hell. They now face Hades, the ruler of the Underworld. Snow White made it home thanks to the Wizard of Oz shoes because she didn't want to leave her child alone.
On the other side of Storybrooke, Luxe met his grandfather.
« Hi Dad ! » the writer exclaimed
« Oh, August you came back, I had been worried ever since! It's ? »
« Yes, your granddaugther, Luxe »
« Is that Annie's daughter? » He wondered
« Yes... »
« Nice to meet you, August told me a lot about you », The intimidated girl said
She refused to call him Dad, it was still too early. Geppetto expected more to have a baby as a little girl and not a teenager.
August whispered in his ear that she wasn't aware of the existence of magic so he had to be careful.
« You are a carpenter »
She saw a wooden rocking horse
« Did you do that, it is super cute? »
Actually it was him and August when he was a kid again, he knew it was a bad time for his son, he gave him a sorry look.
« Yes ! You know your father is also very good at these things, I taught him everything. Can I teach you too? »
« Daddy, it's a young girl »,
He took her fingers
« Look at her thin hands »
« I find you quite macho, my son »
« I'm pretty comfortable with my hands », she said, pulling her fingers out of her father's hand.
« It must be in the family », Geppetto laughed
The girl picked up her phone and showed pictures of her stylistic creations.
« When I was bored I really liked creating outfits, my dream has always been to become a stylist »
August and Geppetto were in awe of her creations, she got away with it like a chef. In the evening, August didn't really know where she was going to sleep. Their house was rather small, there were only two small bedrooms. He didn't want her to sleep on a mattress, like Regina, that wasn't right. He wanted her to feel accepted from the start. He decided to let her sleep in his room instead and he would sleep with Regina, meanwhile, and maybe Luxe and Henry will alternate and Henry will sleep at Emma's or at his grandparents' place. It wasn't easy for Luxe that her father didn't even sleep in the same house as her, but August didn't want to leave his father alone either. It was a big dilemma.
But, it was only for the night, the day, they would be together. Sometimes Geppetto thought that his son, who was much more with Regina than with her, wanted to break all responsibility and that Geppetto take more care of her. Although the carpenter liked the girl very much, he did not accept his son's attitude. August told him with certainty that he was trying to do his best.
He wanted to benefit equally from the two women in his life.
