Emma stuffed the letter into her pocket and ran to the car. She spent the entire drive home thinking about how she was going to tell Ruby about Azure. What was she supposed to say? 'Hey Rubes! How's your day going? By the way, you have a daughter!?' No, she needed to find a gentle and slow way of telling her.

When Emma got home she found Ruby and Henry eating pancakes and talking animatedly.

"Hey!" she said, taking her jacket off and hanging in on the coatrack.

"Hi mom!" said Henry

"Hi kid," said Emma, ruffling his brown hair slightly.

She walked over to her fiance and placed a light kiss on her lips "Hi Rubes."

Ruby smiled, "Hi Lemur."

Emma decided that maybe right now was not the appropriate time to tell Ruby about Azure. She would wait until they were alone, and then she would sit her down and calmly explain her theory to Ruby.

Henry, Emma and Ruby spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out in the couch, watching movies and playing monopoly. They made sandwiches for lunch and had a picnic in the living room. At 4pm Emma got a phone call from the Sheriff's office, saying they needed her to come in. She kissed Henry and Ruby goodbye, and rushed out the door. Ruby and Henry hung out a bit longer, until Regina came to pick up Henry at five.

After Henry left, Ruby decided to clean the loft. She was done with the kitchen, and was going to make the beds, when she noticed Emma had left her jacket hanging on the coatrack. She smiled fondly to herself, Emma always left something behind when she left in a hurry. I should take it to her, she'll probably freeze if I don't. She grabbed the jacket, and rummaged through the pockets looking for Emma's keys. When she put her hand in the left pocket, she felt a crumpled-up piece of paper. She took it out and, curiosity getting the better of her, began to read.

Fairy Tale Land - Fairy Tale Land - Fairy Tale Land - Fairy Tale Land

Blue and Red were sitting on a fallen tree on the forest, patiently waiting for the sun to set. It was a full moon that night, and Red and Blue were anxiously awaiting the opportunity to run. Red had taught Blue how to control the wolf, and now the little girl's favourite activity was to run in the forest as a wolf.

When the moon came out, Red and Blue looked up to the sky and smiled. Suddenly, the woman and the girl sitting on the tree had disappeared, and in their place sat a full-grown wolf and a pup. Though the adult wolf was beautiful, it was the pup who was a sight to behold. She had fluffy white fur, brilliant ice-blue eyes, and a black patch of fur over her right eye. The monstrous size of her paws was a clue of exactly how big she would be when she grew. Both wolves sniffed the air and howled. They looked at each other, and set of running so fast they were only blurs amongst the trees.

The next morning Red woke up to an empty house. Snow and Granny had left to go into town for food, and Blue was probably playing outside. She put on her boots, grabbed a cloak and went outside to look for her daughter.

"Blue?" she called, "have you had breakfast yet?" When she received no answer, she called again "Blue?"

She heard giggling coming from behind the barn. She must be hiding, she thought. She went around the barn, and what she saw shocked her so much she was left speechless. Crouching next to her daughter was no other than Rumpelstiltskin. He had a lifeless chicken in one hand, and a tiny heart in the other.

"Now dearie," he said to Blue, "show me what you've been practicing."

Red watched in horror as her baby girl whispered a few words and the heart froze over. Then Blue took the heart in her chubby hands, and delicately placed it inside the chicken. The bird shuddered and got up slowly. It looked at Blue, coked its head to one side, clucked once, and went on its merry way.

"Blue?" Red asked slowly, "Blue what is this?"

"Momma!" Blue ran up to her mother and jumped into her arms. Red hugged Blue tightly to her chest and turned towards Rumpelstiltskin. The daggers in her eyes would have made anyone else cower down, Rumpelstiltskin just smirked.

"Your daughter here is very talented dearie, very talented indeed."

"What are you doing with her? Who gave you the right to do this to her?" If Red had been shouting, she would have been less menacing. Instead, the low growl and utter calm with which she had said it made it implicit just how dangerous she actually was.

Rumpelstiltskin looked at her and his eyes gave way to something human, even if it was for only a second.

"I didn't do anything dearie, she was born like this. All I did was give her powers a kickstart, and teach her how to use them."

"Why?" growled Red.

"Because dearie, what she can do can help us defeat the Queen once and for all. That is what you want, isn't it? With the Queen dead, your friend Snow will be free again."

Red looked at the Dark One. "How?"

Emma walked into the apartment a little after seven.

"Rubes" she called, "I'm home!"

When Ruby didn't answer, she went into the bedroom, thinking that maybe she was taking a nap. As soon as she went in she saw Ruby lying crumpled on the bed, sobs wrecking her body, and tears streaming down her face.

"Ruby!" Emma ran to her fiance's side and took her in her arms. "Ruby what's wrong? What happened?"

"I remember" sobbed Ruby, "I remember my daughter."
