*not exactly a chapter since it's so short but since Chapter Five took so long, I thought I'd treat you guys to this sort-of-a-chapter chapter. Also, I put the last two bits on italic and bold because I don't know how else to separate them*

Victor just stared at them for a moment in disbelief. "The curse is today?"

Ruby sighed. "Apparently so. The dwarves miscalculated the days."

"They probably left Dopey in charge." Granny muttered.

"So... I should go get Jefferson?" He questioned.

Ruby looked at him. "Are you crazy?! I'm sorry, but there's no time for that. We need to get to Snow, we need to get the baby to the wardrobe before the curse hits."

Victor turned pale. "You want me to deliver the baby?"

"Well, it's either you or Doc and I'm not sure if we should trust a guy who got his medical degree from an axe." Granny replied.

"And Victor, you'll be part of the curse, I'll get to see you again."

"But the curse won't be broken for years! I won't remember you."

"What's 28 years? Victor, please, this whole Land needs that baby in that wardrobe or we're doomed."

He pulled himself together. "Okay, I'll do it"

The three of them ran to the castle as quickly as they could. Charming was by Snow's side, having his hand squeezed by her as she screamed.

"Finally!" Charming exclaimed. "We need this baby out!"

Victor nodded once and checked Snow. "Okay, Snow, you're doing really great. The baby will be here soon. All I need you to do for me is push, okay?"

Snow didn't answer him but she pushed as hard as she could, squeezing Charming's hand with all her might.

The four of them, Victor, Ruby, Charming and Granny, all encouraged her to push until finally the baby was out.

Granny put the blanket round the baby and handed her to Snow and Charming.

"Emma." Snow whispered to the baby, kissing her forehead. "Charming, we have to.. get her to the wardrobe."

The three of them shared a moment so tender that Victor felt as though he was intruding just by being in the room. Charming took baby Emma and headed to the wardrobe. Snow waited until he was out the room before she burst into tears. Ruby and Granny immediately rushed to her side but Victor stayed back.

Snow looked at him. "Thank you... for your help."

He nodded at her. "Are you strong enough to go to him?"

"I think so."

"I will help you." He offered.

She shook her head. "This is something I must do alone."

He nodded again. "Good luck, Snow, I'll see you in 28 years."

She smiled in spite of herself and kissed his cheek. She embraced Ruby and Granny, then went to go to get husband.

The curse was coming, they could feel it. Parts of the castle had already been torn apart. Victor held onto Ruby, hugging her with all his might. She kissed him. "I'll see you on the other side." She joked. And with that, the three of them were gone.

Victor sprang out of bed at the sound of his alarm. He looked around the room, momentarily confused. He checked the time. "Oh crap, I'm going to be late." He muttered to himself. He got dressed and picked up his Doctors coat, heading to the hospital. Completely oblivious to any of his previous life.

"When I put over easy on the menu, I was talking about the eggs."

"Ugh!" Ruby rolled her eyes at Granny and headed into the diner. What she was wearing wasn't that bad. And besides, she only agreed to work at the stupid diner so that she could get enough money to go Boston. She figured at least there she might actually find a man, unaware that her True Love was merely minutes away from her.
