Snow woke early in the morning, she could not sleep much, her head was always thinking of Emma, Henry and Regina. She wanted to go back to them and try to help them as much as possible.
She came out of the bedroom and went down to the kitchen, she was surprised to discover the ex-evil queen sitting at the table with a cup of tea in her hands, she looked out the window and did not notice Snow.
Snow approached the table and sat down next to the queen; Regina felt someone sit down beside her and immediately turned to look. She was surprised to see Snow awake at this hour.
"Snow dear, why are you awake at such an hour? It's very early and you need all your strength." Snow looked at Regina and saw the concern in her eyes, she really meant every word.
"I could not sleep, too many thoughts, I do not know how I can deal with them, so I decided to stop thinking about them and try something else that might help me but that did not happen, so I said I'd start an early breakfast so we could go as fast as possible".
Regina understood Snow's thought; she also sometimes suffers from tired thoughts or nightmares. And doing something else sometimes helps.
"Well, I'd be happy to help you make breakfast, as you see I'm up and ready for work." She said lightly and with a little humor.
"I can see it; I'll accept your offer." She said with a smile and went to the closet to get the dishes for breakfast.
The process of preparing the breakfast took Regina and Snow an hour and a half, the hour was still early but the sun was already shining a little and the sky were reddish orange.
Snow went to fetch Neil and Robin after she heard crying voices from the rooms, she supposed the children were hungry.
She returned with Neil and Robin in her hands, Regina immediately took Robin from her hands and began to bounce her off to make the girl stop crying.
It helped and Snow did exactly the same thing with Neil.
She began to prepare food for them and looked at Regina feeding Robin.
"You're really good with her, you're an amazing mother and every child would be happy to have a mother like you."
The Queen looked at her in amazement, she did not expect to hear such a compliment from Snow but she was glad to hear it coming from her.
"Thank you, Snow, I know I was a bad stepmother and I was not there for you and I'm sorry for the suffering I caused you. I just did not know how to express my frustration and I hurt the only person that was on my side."
Snow looked at Regina and began to smile at her, the tears she was trying to hold ran down her face and she began to cry happily. She waited a long time to hear those words. "Aww, Regina, I'm so sorry, I know I was wrong too, but hearing you say those words is all I ever wanted to hear, all I wanted was a mother and in most cases you were there for me and I'm so happy and proud to call you family. "
Regina felt a tear trickle down her face and she immediately cleaned it with her hand.
"I hope it's not too soon but I want you to know I love you, I've always loved you." Snow said gently and lifted Neal to her shoulders and began putting him on the back to make him to burp.
Regina did the same with Robin and the two babies burp at the same time, which made Regina and Snow smile.
Not later David went into the kitchen and went to kiss Snow and Neal's forehead, he bowed to the Queen and she returned it.
He sat down at the table next to Snow and waited for the other guys. Robin came in after a few moments and went to hug and kiss Regina. He saw Little Robin sleeping on her hands and he smiled to himself.
Zelena came in last and immediately went to her sister and hugged her. She took Robin from her hands and thanked her for the help. She put Robin in her crib and sat down at the table with everyone.
Breakfast went lightly with little talk and a good atmosphere, and then everyone went on their way to get ready to go back to Storybrooke. After an hour of organizing, they met at the entrance to the palace and were ready to move.
"Okay, can we go?" Snow asked everyone around her and everyone nodded that everything was ready.
"Who's the bean?" Snow asked.
"I have, and I thought it might be better to try the spell to go back to Storybrooke, so Regina and Robin could come with us and return home with the bean." Zelena offered her surroundings and looked at her sister for an answer.
Regina looked at Robin. He just nodded. She understood what he meant. He wanted to help them as much as possible, and she agreed with him.
"Thanks Zelena is a great idea, Robin and I would be happy to join you and defeat the black fairy, God knows that any help will be welcome."
"Well then it's settled, we're going back together to Storybrooke, and meanwhile the dwarves will stay here to watch things, once the curse is removed everyone will go back where they belong." Snow said with authority and confidence.
Everyone agreed unanimously and prepared to leave the castle.
Regina went to the magic book where the spell was and began to whisper the spell while Zelena held the potion in her hands.
After Regina finished the spell, Zelena poured the potion on the floor of the palace and immediately a vortex opened before them. They looked at each other with a smile. "Do not forget to think about where we want to go." Regina reminded everyone and they nodded.
They all jumped together into the vortex, the passage between the worlds took them a few minutes and they landed in the forest, close to Zelena's old farmhouse.
They decided to stay away from the town and settle in the small farmhouse until they knew more about the situation.
The first thing they must do is look for Emma, Henry and Regina and try to help as much as possible.
"Okay, we have to think of a plan of action, one thing is certain, Regina cannot leave the house, we'll have to work together as teams." Snow told everyone at home and they agreed.
"I just hope they're all right and that it's not too late." Snow thought to herself and prayed for good.
