Chapter 12 final chapter

Suddenly Regina let go of Emma's hand and started to open the cage door for her to climb out of the cage. Emma let go of Regina's hand as soon as Regina pulled away knowing that Regina wanted out of that damn cage by now.

Emma stood up from crouching down to let Regina actually have the room to open the cage door enough for her to crawl out of it and once she finally did, she slowly stood up holding onto the cage door for balance as she stood. She hadn't stood up in a few days now. Her ass was hurting her like crazy now and truthfully she never wanted to be locked in a cage ever again. Let alone sitting again for at least a while, for her ass being so sore.

Regina slowly closed the cage door so she could come around the cage towards Emma. Emma still had tears falling down her eyes and she looked extremely sad. Regina could tell she had just confessed to having feelings for her and being completely in love with her. That made Regina get all teary eyed as she got closer to Emma and cupped her face.

Regina just stood there cupping Emma's face for a few seconds with both hands on each cheek not saying a word. Just stood there in silence. Regina now began to cry herself. A tear escaped her eye as she looked into Emma's teary eyes and crying face before she finally got enough courage in her to speak.

"Emma, when I kissed you, at first I never meant for it to mean anything. I think I was originally stalking you because I was jealous of you, that Henry wanted you more than me. I had freaked out when you found those photos. I didn't want you storming off hating me from my stupid jealousy. So I just kissed you. I had hoped that you'd think I was stalking you because I was secretly in love with you or something. I wasn't sure what I was trying to accomplish and truthfully I don't even think you knew I loved you all this time. Hell, I didn't even know I loved you until I kissed you and frankly I'm surprised that you didn't think that I was in love with you. Did you somehow know that I was only stalking you out of jealousy? Because for me, it wasn't until after we kissed that I realized I had feelings for you and over the past weeks, those feelings grew more and more!"

Emma's eyes widen at what Regina just confessed. She couldn't believe it. Regina just admitted to loving her back. Emma's heart now started pounding so fast in her chest that she feared everyone including Regina could hear it. Emma swallowed hard trying to breathe calmly as she could while she replied.

"After you kissed me, I left thinking you were actually in love with me this whole time. That was until I saw Henry getting off the school bus a few hours later and it hit me. I realized that you had to have been jealous that Henry and I were spending too much time together and you acted out of fear. Only, that kiss opened up feelings deep down in me that I had for you that I didn't even know that I had!"

Regina now smiled and let out a little soft chuckle before she responded.

"So that kiss was what opened up both of us to our feelings for each other? I never saw that coming!"

Emma now smiled back at Regina, with tears still falling down her face. She cupped Regina's face with both hands so now they were both cupping each other's faces before Emma pulled Regina in for a kiss.

Suddenly a rainbow wave flowed out from both women and onto the whole island. Everyone could see the rainbow flashes of light as well as feel it and suddenly, they were all no longer in the cave. Each one of them somehow teleported right in front of Pan and Henry. It looked like they did so just in time too.

Regina and Emma broke the kiss and realized that they and everyone else teleported right before Henry's eyes. They were both shocked and wasn't sure how this could have happened.

Henry's eyes widened at the sight of seeing his whole family right there before him and he then smiled widely.

"MOMS?"

Regina and Emma both yelled out "HENRY!" at the exact same time with wide smiles now on each of their faces. Though those smiles slowly faded when both women realized that Henry was holding a glowing heart in his hands, looking as if he was about to push it into Pan.

"Henry what are you doing? Who's heart is that?!" asked Regina, now feeling worried and concerned, her facial expression now matching her worry.

"It's my heart. I'm going to give it to Pan, to save magic. He told me that I was the truest believer out of all the lands so I'm the only one who can save magic!"

"Oh my god Henry NO! That will kill you!" said Emma.

"Just shove your heart back into your chest and run over to us! We came here to save you. Not to bring your corpse back home!" said Regina.

Ariel then suddenly jumped into the conversation when she finally realized what Pan's full plan was.

"Oh my god Henry, don't listen to Pan. I know you don't know me but my name is Ariel and I've been on this island long enough to know how evil Pan really is. Pan wants your heart because then he will be forever immortal with unstoppable magic. The magic on this island isn't dying. HE is! He's just trying to save himself but kill you in the process. Please, don't do it! When I first came here, Pan told me he was dying. He didn't tell me right away, but he did tell me after he thought I could be trusted and now I finally understand what he is doing. So please don't do it. Don't let him win!"

Henry then looked to Pan as if he had just been lied to this whole time.

"Wait, is that true? You just want my heart so you can live? It has nothing to do with magic?"

Pan started to become panicky. He looked over to a big pot emptying sand out from one side to the other. The sand was almost completely empty on the one side.

"Henry please, we don't have much time! We have to save magic. They're just lying to you because they're jealous that they can't save magic here and only you can!"

"Don't believe him! Henry, look at us. We're your family and we love you!" said Emma.

"Very much!" added Regina.

Henry then looked back over to his family before looking back to Pan.

"My family would never lie to me! I'm sorry but I can't do it!"

"Henry NO!" yelled Pan.

Before Pan could even get another word out, Henry shoved his heart back into his chest and ran over to his two moms to give them both a group hug.

Once Henry was safe in the arms of his two moms, the sand completely emptied on the one side of the machine and all of a sudden Pan started to yell in agony. After a few moments of Pan screaming out in pain, his whole body started to glow white before disintegrating into ashes right before everyone's eyes.

Suddenly everyone was again magically teleported and this time they ended up teleporting back home to Storybrooke. Everyone looked around at the town. They were all right in front of Granny's Diner.

"How the hell did we end up back here?" asked Regina.

"Good question!" said Emma.

Gold immediately began telling everyone his theory as to how they were back home without having to use a portal.

"Well my guess is that since Pan died right before our eyes, it means Henry didn't give him his heart in time to save him. Which means that the island there was no longer running on his magic. No one was supposed to be living on that island to begin with. That island was meant for children to dream about. Not to actually live there. Until Pan used a magic bean and teleported there. He took the magic there for his own purposes. It was only a matter of time before the magic would run out and he'd die. He'd been around for over a century. Which meant his body's age finally caught up to him and turned him to ashes. Without the magic keeping him young, he died!"

"How the hell do you know all this?" asked Snow.

"I'm the Dark One dearie. I know just about everything magic related!"

"Okay you have a point!" said Emma.

Everyone then nodded their heads in agreement because they knew Gold actually did have a point. He was the Dark One after all.

As Henry looked back up to Emma, he finally realized the bandage on her shoulder.

"Mom, what's the bandage for?"

Emma was so focused on Henry and everything that had just happened, that she didn't even realize that all the sudden she wasn't in any pain. Her eyebrows crunched up in confusion as she slowly took the bandage off to look at the wound. The wound was completely healed. Nothing was there. Not even a scratch.

"Oh my god my wound is healed. How did that happen?"

"True love's kiss!" said Snow.

Emma looked up still confused and Regina just stared at Emma knowing that Snow was somehow correct. There was no other explanation for it.

"I think she's right Emma. We both shared true love's kiss. I felt it. Everyone felt it. I think that's what teleported us all to our son and healed your wound!"

Henry now was the confused one.

"Wait, you two shared true love's kiss? I thought that was somehow grandma Snow and grandpa David. It was you two? And how did you get a wound? Tell me everything!"

Emma then magically made her bandage disappear because she didn't know where a trash can was right now and magic seemed easier at the moment before taking Regina under her arm and pulling her closer to her body.She did the same to Henry with her other arm.

"How about we go to Granny's Diner right there and we'll tell you everything!" said Emma.

"I could use some food!" said Regina.

Regina then turned her head to Ariel to make sure she could tell her one important thing before they went into the diner.

"Oh, and Ariel. About Eric… He's here in Storybrooke. How about after we all eat and get Henry caught up in knowing everything that's happened, I'll take you to him. I know where he works here as well as where he lives. What do you say? Truce?"

Ariel's eyes widened and she smiled big.

"Really? Yes! I'll totally have a truce with you if you take me to Eric!"

Regina smiled back at Ariel.

"Alright after we all eat, I'll take you to your prince! Also, how did you get your voice back? I took it away years ago!"

That's when Emma suddenly jumped in.

"Oh I gave her her voice back with my magic!"

Regina then looked back at Emma.

"Oh I see. Well I'm glad you did. I would have given her voice back as well, but at least now I no longer need to since you did it for me!"

"Well then, I think we should all eat now? What do you all say?" said Emma.

Henry smiled at both his moms.

"I'm definitely hungry! Let's eat! But don't forget to tell me everything that's happened as we eat!"

"Will do!" said Emma.

They all walked into Granny's as a group and sat at a booth. They ordered food and ate and told Henry every little detail from beginning to end so that he knew exactly what had happened. They even told him about how both his moms kissed a few weeks ago and that's what opened them up to their feelings for one another.

They all laughed and talked as well as hugged Henry constantly for getting him back just in time and that's when they all knew that from that moment forward, everything would be okay as long as they were all together as a family.

The end.

*notes*

Okay I know I could have done SO much more drama in this ending last two chapters but please understand that I had to wrap up my story because I was running on a time slot for the SwanQueen Supernova. I had only a few days left to submit my full story so I'm sorry about that. But I really do hope that I still did the story justice at least and that you liked or even loved it. Please do leave comments and kudos if you did. I very much appreciate it and I love reading comments from people about the stories I've written. Also, again I want to thank my beta reader for fixing up my story the best she could. I know my writing style isn't the best but I do get better each time I write so that's a good thing especially knowing that I'm a new author. So I thank her for helping me. I also thank my friend and partner Serena who also helped me with the first few chapters of this story. I couldn't have done it without you both.

I will see you Swens next year for the next SwanQueen Supernova. :)
