A/N: The Hood-Mills family leaves to get Roland.
Day 4
It's mid-day. The sun only came up a few hours ago. They've all eaten, gotten dressed, and packed their bags. Robin has already checked the number on his arm. 362.
Less than the day before. Same as always. He doesn't let it bother him. He can't. Today is too important.
They're at the mansion together. He, Regina and Henry, along with the rest of the Charming-Mills clan. She holds the wand in her hand and Henry has his daughter in his arms. They took a day to plan out their travels but they're leaving now for the Enchanted Forest. For Roland.
He's nervous. He can't help it. Doesn't know what his son's reaction to him will be, not to mention his men.
He wears a long sleeve sweater; the numbers are hidden but he can still feel them. He knows that he always will but that doesn't matter.
Because now he feels her hand slipping into his. He feels the warmth and reassurance in her brown eyes when she asks, "Are you ready?"
He nods. "Yes."
She takes a deep breath and waves the wand. A door appears and he feels a chill when it opens. He can't see anything inside it, only darkness. But he knows it's the way to his son. He can feel it.
They say their final goodbyes to the Charmings and Regina walks in first, defensiveness and skepticism etched on her face. He follows her and Henry, along with the baby, follows him.
They walk through the door together, anxious but hopeful, ready to retrieve the only missing piece to the puzzle that is their family.
