A/N: Hey readers! This chapter's quite long, but I hope you like it. No spoilers, lol. But I will say that something a little shocking will happen in this chapter. Love you! Mwah!

*Present Day*

"So, you mean to tell me, you DO have magic...and YOU'RE the one who broke David's memory spell?" Regina asked after Jasmine told the story of what happened that day.

"Yes."

"Why?"

"I thought that if you had David back...the town would destroy itself again, but-"

"You what?!"

"I was angry, okay!?"

"You WANTED the town to destroy itself?" Mary Margaret asked.

Jasmine looked at her half-stepsister and said nothing.

"And what was your plan for saving YOURSELF?" Emma asked.

"I wasn't going to save myself. If the town would be destroyed, it would take me down with it. Just like I wanted it to!"

Regina gasped. "Jasmine." She said softly, almost in a whisper.

"What!?" Jasmine said angrily.

The woman just looked at her daughter sadly.

"One thing...Why DIDN'T the town go under some mass destruction?" Victor asked.

"It was because of you." Jasmine answered, calmly.

"Me?"

"Yes. Regina was torn between you and David...and David stayed with Snow, so the product of the Dark Curse was never destroyed."

There was a moment of silence as Victor and Regina looked at eachother and Mary Margaret made eye contact with David.

"Jasmine..." Regina said softly. She turned back to look at her daughter and began to slowly walk toward her. "You can't always protect yourself. After what happened, you should talk to someone. Just to have a person there for you could help." She moved in closer and lifted her arms to gently comfort the tired girl, but she moved back avoiding the contact.

"No."

"It's okay to be scared after what happened."

"I'm not scared."

"You may think that, but I know different. I was there and sitting in that room alone for all those years tore me apart. I would be a totally different person today if I had someone to comfort me...or had just LET someone else be there for me." She looked at Rumple who lifted his head a little bit in understanding when he realized that she had her own regrets for not letting him be that person back home.

"I'm fine." The teen felt weak and pathetic as she protested softer than she wanted to.

"No, baby. You're not."

"I am. I can handle it."

"It's alright to be vulnerable sometimes."

"Showing vulnerability is a sign of weakness." She retorted angrily.

"Even the strongest people need a shoulder to cry on. So go ahead...Cry."

Jasmine began to very slowly shake her head as she tightly held her lips together attempting to fight back the tears. Regina lightly grabbed her shoulders and pulled her in for a hug, causing the tears to finally fall from hurt, innocent, brown eyes.

Victor watched Regina hold onto her sobbing daughter with everyone else before he slowly walked over and hugged the both of them, followed by Henry. Soon, everyone was huddled around Jasmine in a group hug, Belle and Rumple, the last two to join. And for the first time, she felt protection from others. To her, it seemed too good to be true. She was surprised that she finally felt something that she had never ever felt in her life. Warmth in her heart. For the longest time, her heart was cold and empty and it brought her tears of joy.

After a few moments, they finally broke the hug and Regina wiped away her daughter's tears as well as her own.

"Hi. I'm Henry." The young boy said to his newly found sister.

She smiled and giggled a little bit. "I know. I'm Jasmine."

He giggled too. "I know." They all laughed.

"Mom?" Henry said, unsure if he should ask the next question.

"Yes, dear?"

"Can I meet Olivia now?"

"Of course you can."

"I was wondering if...I could as well? You know, now that we have our memories back?" Snow asked with her eyes closed, hoping she and David would say yes.

Regina looked at David and he read her mind. He slowly turned to look at his wife and said yes.

Regina lightly smiled. "She's at Granny's. What do you say we all go and have dinner?"

They walked to Granny's from Gold's Shop and Jasmine tried forgetting about what happened to her. Henry was hyper and skipped down the street trying to get others to play "I Spy" with him. Everyone talked and it was as if all of their problems were at ease. David walked with Henry in the front, casually looking back at Regina who walked with Jasmine and Victor. Snow and Emma walked in the back talking about new apartments they were looking at for Henry and the savior.

Things were not as wonderful for long at Granny's, though. Henry ran inside, very hungry and excited and he pulled Jasmine by the hand behind him. She smiled as he dragged her along through the front door. He brought her to his favorite booth and urged the others to 'hurry up and sit down.' Everyone laughed at his enthusiasm.

"Ruby?" Snow yelled to the waitress behind the counter.

"Yes?" The brunette replied.

"Is Granny in the office with the baby?"

"I think so. I'll go check." The joyful girl left and returned within a few seconds with her grandmother who carried the infant.

Regina stood up excitedly and she looked around checking to see if anyone else noticed that she practically jumped out of her seat. It turned out she wasn't the only one who noticed. Not only did someone else notice that she had jumped up so fast, but that other person also stood up just as fast, if not faster.

She cleared her throat and turned from David who stood only a few inches from her and she walked over to Granny to take the baby from her arms. David walked beside her to see their baby and then he followed her back to the booth, pulling up another chair for her to sit in at the end of the table. But before she sat down, she turned to look at Olivia's father.

"Would you like to take her?"

"Well, I don't think-"

"Go ahead, David." Snow allowed, smiling.

He lightly nodded and took her. His look of unsureness immediately vanished into a large smile that could've brightened up the whole diner the second he held his daughter.

Regina smiled at the both of them and then sat down in the booth, gesturing for him to sit in the chair he pulled up for her. He sat down and things were good for a bit, until some tension began between Victor and David. Jasmine noticed the jealousy stewing within the looks they both gave eachother after Regina would talk to the other one.

Henry asked to hold Olivia for awhile after they ate and he and Jasmine played 'Peek-A-Boo' with her for a while as the adults, minus David, stood and lingered around the diner talking to eachother. The shepherd stayed at the table and sat across from them, smiling at his baby girl. These were the moments he never got to have with Emma.

After a few minutes of 'Peek-A-Boo,' Jasmine looked up to her mother at the counter talking to Victor. Her smile faded when she realized that it looked like they were fighting. Victor shot his eyes to the young girl once and she quickly looked away as if she saw nothing. She then looked over to Emma and Snow. Emma was talking to her mother who seemed to not be listening while she kept her eye on the back of David's head. Jasmine looked back to Henry and the baby when Emma hit Mary Margaret on the arm, forcing her to pay attention to her and ordering her to stop looking at David.

"She was looking at me, wasn't she?"

"Huh?" Jasmine looked up at David, pretending not to hear what he said.

"Snow. She was looking at me, wasn't she?"

Jasmine didn't answer, but he knew the answer by the look on her face when she looked away from him and back at the baby once more.

"Maybe I should go talk to her." He thought out loud.

All of a sudden, they were startled by a shout from Regina.

"Then go! Just leave!"

"Maybe I will!"

Jasmine jumped and David saw the fear in her face. He reached across the table and put his hand on hers. She looked into his eyes and he gave her a light, sympathetic smile. She barely smiled back before pulling her hand away.

"I've never seen them fight before." She lied. She had definitely seen them fight before. David could see that she was trying to pretend that THAT was the reason she suddenly became jumpy, but he knew the real reason. She was still shaken up about the attack.

"Fine!" Regina yelled and she turned away from Victor, which told him that he should actually leave.

"Fine." He said sadly.

"Fine..." Regina almost whispered. She looked at the ground facing away from the door so she wouldn't have to watch him leave and Jasmine closed her eyes and quickly stood up to follow Victor and everyone's eyes (besides Regina's) followed her. She wanted to stop him from leaving once again like he did at the hospital the day he learned Olivia's middle name.

"Victor, wai-"

Just before he reached the door, he turned around to look at her and she just stared behind him. The door was opened and a new customer walked in, causing Jasmine to stop midsentence.

"Jasmine? What is it?" Victor asked, unaware of the door opening behind him. He saw the stunned look on her face.

Regina heard Victor ask what was wrong and she turned around to realize what Jasmine saw behind Victor. She looked at the door with the same curiosity as everyone else in the diner did. Victor finally turned around.

"Aladdin?" Jasmine asked quietly from behind Victor. She slowly stepped in front of the doctor, finally becoming visible to the dark haired young man.

"Jasmine?" The boy asked before slowly walking toward her.

Regina began to move closer to the front of the diner and soon enough, she was directly behind Jasmine and right next to Victor.

"I-I thought you were dead." Aladdin said.

"I didn't know that you were here. I thought Agrabah wasn't touched by the Dark Curse." Jasmine replied.

"It wasn't. I have traveled through many lands since you disappeared. I just came from Neverland. I was forced into becoming a Lost Boy."

She gasped, having been to Neverland herself. "How did you escape?"

"I met a friend and he helped me leave. But that night...How did you-"

"My flying carpet. It got me out just before-" She stopped when he touched the cut on her lip. "-but he found me here."

He looked at her lip and then back into her eyes before letting out a loud breath of relief and pulling her in for an extremely awkward hug. Surprised and confused, she let her arms hang for a few seconds before hugging him back. They never really liked each other, even though they had both saved each other a few times. But they each claimed that it was out of remorse or pity. Or it was often due to a "You owe me" so the other one would HAVE to help during their next encounter. This hug was very different for the both of them.

Soon, it was interrupted by Regina, who had made her way right behind Jasmine without their knowledge. She touched her daughter's back gently.

"Hello. I'm Regina."

Aladdin stepped back from the hug and looked at the woman who introduced herself.

"I found her." Jasmine said to him almost in a whisper.

"Your mother?" Aladdin asked. Jasmine nodded and he smiled at the woman standing by her. "Wow!"

"I know." She smiled at her mother. "Regina, this is Aladdin. We've...well, we go way back...so to speak."

Regina nodded and smiled back. "I see." She gave Jasmine a motherly look that Jasmine didn't understand, due to the fact that she's never had a mother.

"What?" She finally asked, giggling a little bit.

"Nothing, nothing." Regina said, putting her hands up in defense and turning from Jasmine after winking at her.

"Wha-" Jasmine scoffed and ignored her, still smiling. She looked back at Aladdin and opened her mouth to say something, but she was cut off when she heard something behind her.

"Henry!" Both Emma and Regina scolded, following in a laugh.

Jasmine quickly turned her head to see her adoptive half brother change the look on his face to a big 'You-Saw-Nothing' Smile so fast that she really saw nothing. Aladdin laughed being the only other person to see the kissy face he was making at her behind her back.

"Sorry." Henry laughed. He stood and handed the baby, who had fallen asleep, to David. Then he walked up to Aladdin and put his hand out. "I'm Henry. Jasmine's brother." He smiled and Aladdin shook his hand.

"And I'm Emma, his mother."

"I'm also his mother." Regina jumped in.

"And I'm Emma's mother, Snow."

"And I'm David. Snow's husband and Emma's father. I'm also-"

"Alright, alright. Let's not overwhelm the boy."

"And who are you?" Aladdin asked.

"I'm Victor." The reprimanding man said. "Related to no one here."

Both Jasmine and Aladdin laughed as Regina lightly chuckled. Victor was surprised that she laughed at him after their fight. He gently grabbed her hand from behind and her smile faded as she moved her hand away, causing his smile to fade as well.

"Well, it was nice meeting you, Aladdin." Victor walked passed them and just before he reached the door, Regina turned around once again so she didn't watch him leave.

She flinched at the sound of the door closing and she slowly looked up from the ground. The first thing she saw was David holding their daughter. She gently smiled at him and walked over to him to take the sleeping baby from him.

"Thank you, David." She said lovingly.

"Of course." He said back, in the same way.

The former mayor took Olivia's blanket from the booth. "Good night, everyone." She said as if she were apologizing while holding the door open.

"Good night, Regina." Jasmine said sadly.

The woman left with the baby, weakly smiling at Jasmine and Aladdin before closing the door behind her.

Jasmine turned away, closed her eyes, and sighed depressingly before sitting back down in their booth, putting her face in her hands. Soon enough, her arms were crossed, resting on the table and her head rested on them, face down.

"What can I get for you?" Granny asked Aladdin, considering Red was too overwhelmed with what she just saw and she decided to ask Emma and Mary Margaret tons of questions about what was going on.

"I don't know." He answered.

"You know we're closing soon, right? We usually close at eight, but I was lenient with these folks."

"That's fine...I don't really know what I want anyways."

"Hm." She thought it was odd for him to walk into a diner so late in the first place, and then end up not ordering anything anyways. "Alright." She continued to clean the tables around them and he checked the clock. It was nearly ten o'clock and he yawned before slowly walking over to the booth.

"Jasmine, I think we should leave. It's late and the diner's closing."

She didn't respond, so he gently turned her head to the side and moved the hair out of her face to find out that she had fallen asleep, just like her tired baby sister. He looked up at David who slowly stood up and Aladdin moved to the side. David quietly picked her up.

"Do you know where her room is?" He whispered to Ruby, slowly walking over to her.

She nodded and led him and Aladdin to her room in Granny's Motel, as Emma, Henry, and Snow followed.

"Right here." Ruby whispered, taking the skeleton key from her pocket and opening the door for David who turned sideways to carefully walk through the door frame, hoping that she wouldn't touch any of the sides, waking her.

Aladdin followed him in and moved the comforter halfway off the bed for him to lay her on the sheets underneath it, gently putting her head on the pillow. Then he and David slowly pulled the covers back over her. Aladdin turned to leave while David stayed back a few more minutes and looked at her. He saw the cuts and bruises on her face, reminding him of the times he would protect Regina back in the Enchanted Forest. He put his hand on her forehead and pushed her stray hairs back out of her face.

"David." Snow whispered. He looked up and saw everyone standing in the doorway watching him. "Are you coming?"

"Yeah." He began to leave, but he stopped in the hallway when they were almost to the door that led back to the diner. "Wait."

"What?" Ruby asked.

"I think someone should stay with her."

"What are you talking about?" Emma asked.

"This is her first night out of the hospital. I don't think it's such a good idea to leave her alone."

"Who's gonna stay with her?" Snow asked.

Everyone besides Emma looked at Aladdin.

"Seriously?" She said. "We're gonna leave it up to the teenager to protect the teenager? No. David. I think you should stay."

"Why me?"

"Yes. Why him?" Snow asked.

"Well, Henry's not gonna be much of a threat."

"Why can't you?" Her mother asked.

"Well, I've got the night shift at the sheriff's station."

"That's true."

"Why can't David take the night shift?" Red asked.

"He had it last night and he's been up for almost 36 hours. He should get some sleep."

"Ruby can turn into a wolf." Henry suggested.

"I don't think that's the best idea, kid."

"Why not, Emma?"

"Well, Henry. I haven't really got the hang of my powers here yet and if I turn once, it may be difficult to get me to turn back." The werewolf answered.

"Looks like it's gonna be you." Aladdin said to David, who looked at Snow.

"Okay." He said.

"I'll stay, too." Aladdin said. "I just arrived in this town, so I don't really have any place to stay anyway. And I'm a pretty light sleeper, so if anything happens, I'll be able to hear it."

"Alright."

The others left and Ruby led David and Aladdin back to the room with the key to let them in. Soon, they were settled in the chairs provided in the room and they slept, waiting for anything to happen.
