by the-savior-swan

Nineteen years after the defeat of the Snow Queen, everyone finds themselves living back in the Enchanted Forest living seemingly normal lives.

CHAPTER THIRTY- In the Library

"Is-is that really it? The portal back to our time?" Past Belle ran towards the rest of the group, who was gawking at the portal.

"I believe so. All that you have to do is step through. Regina I believe you know what needs to be done once you are on the other side." Rumple was still holding on to his Belle, but looked at her younger counterpart with sadness. He had caused her so much pain back then.

"Don't worry, I will wipe our minds once we end up back in Storybrooke. It is the only way to assure everything ends up as planned in the future."

"How long do we have?" Past Emma asked.

"My guess, dearie, is just enough time to say your goodbyes."

Colette ran over to her mother from the past and sweetly gathered her into her arms.

"Don't worry mother, there will be nothing but happy memories to make when you return."

Belle just hugged her daughter tightly before releasing her. She was the first to enter the portal back, trying not to look at her future self and Rumple as she took her last glimpse at the future. She still thanked her lucky stars that she would get her happy ending in the end.

Regina rushed over to Oliver, giving him a tight hug.

"You are hugging me so tight I think I can hear my dignity dying."

"What? A Merry Man doesn't want his mom hugging him in front of everyone?"

"You aren't my mom yet."

"No, but I can't wait to be."

Regina kissed his forehead and followed closely behind Belle into the portal.

Kendra and Liam strode up to Past Emma and Killian. It was a mess of a group hug. They were practically tripping over one another.

"Make sure you keep that boy in line. Don't be afraid to use that fine sword of yours every once in a while, love. And you son, make sure to keep an open mind when it comes to women. Just because you are courting that lass doesn't mean that you are stuck with her. Seriously, mate. There are plenty of fish in the sea."

Liam just rolled his eyes and hugged his father.

"Don't have too many adventures before we get to be a part of them too!" Kendra shouted as they walked through the portal.

"Then how do you suppose you two are going to happen? This pirate has to have a little fun somewhere in there!"

"KILLIAN!"

And with that they disappeared into the portal.
