Chapter 4
Family
When Elsa had left and Morgana was calm Rumple turned to Charming and Mary Margaret with a kind smile.
"Morgana, the Charming's are Henry's other grandparents, Emma's parents."
"Baelfire? Where is he?" She asked, smiling at the prospect of seeing her nephew again.
"He died, saving us. All of us. Henry is his son. Henry, your great aunt, Morgana." Rumple smiled as Henry ran to hug her, his head resting against her ample chest. Morgana stroked his hair.
"You look like your father, Henry, when he was younger. Auntie will do fine, don't call me great aunt." Morgana smiled.
"Gotcha." Henry said as he pulled away but he remained close to her. Morgana Le Fey was his great aunt- now that was something he never expected.
"We should take you shopping, Morgana." Rumple suggested indicating her ripped dress from the enchanted forest.
"Yes. Oh Rumple, I am sorry about Bae, but look what he left you- a family at last." Morgana smiled as he took her hand again- still not believing she was really there.
"Yes, it is good. But we were a family, Morgana. Even if it was just the two of us most of the time." Rumple reminded her.
"I know and a wonderful older brother you are too." Morgana praised kissing his cheek...like a sister does a brother.
"Hay, less of the old." He laughed.
"But you are older than me- by six years in fact."
"No need to rub it in, Morga." Rumple stated, using his sister's nickname. She smiled and took his hand and Henry's as Belle took Rumple's other hand and they made their way down the street, the Charming's, Hook and Emma in tow.
"How is daddy?"
"Dead." Rumple said flatly.
"Oh good, we were always better off without him." Morgana agreed as Rumple led her to the clothes shop in Storybrooke. "So Henry, tell me more about yourself. What do you like to do? What are your favourite books? I want to know everything." Morgana said turning to her great nephew.
Henry smiled and launched into telling everything to Morgana and answering all her questions for the rest of the day and was still going when they had dinner later in Granny's together. He told her of all his adventures in Neverland and he showed her the book with everyone in. She smiled sadly when he showed her a picture of 'Neal' or Baelfire. Neal was his Storybrooke name just like Charming's was David Nolan, Snow was Mary Margaret and Rumple was known as Mr Gold- first name unknown.
Rumple insisted that she would stay with him and Belle at their house in the spare room and tomorrow they would begin the search for Ravenna, Arthur, Guinevere and Merlin, all of whom had to be found.
Henry also asked to see Morgana the next day- he wanted to hear stories of when she an Rumple had been smalland Morgana was happy to comply. She said she would meet Henry for breakfast at Granny's and then they could go off in search of Ravenna in the woods together.
Morgana, although worried for her husband, daughter and friends, was happy to have gained the family she had always wanted. A family which she knew Rumple had dreamed of too, which made her even more happy.
