THANKS FOR ALL THE REVIEWS, GUYS! YOU'RE THE BEST.

DON'T OWN IT.

James set out with his army to find the Blue Fairy. It wasn't that hard. They seemed to have gotten to August just in time.

"Stop!" He commanded. She turned around, smiling.

"King James, hello."

"You have a lot of explaining to do." He said.

"I think you mean Pinocchio does…"

"No, I say what I mean. I'll deal with him later, but in the meantime, you lied to Snow and I. You betrayed our trust.

"I'm sorry, it was the only way to ensure the realm would one day be saved!"

"We're reasonable people." James took a step closer. "Of course, Snow has her moments where I'm pretty sure she's going to kill me with her glares, but you could've come to me." The Blue Fairy lowered her head in shame. "Knights, get her back to the castle." He walked over to a shaking August. "Are you okay?"

"I'm sorry, your Majesty. I never meant to harm Emma, I was only a boy."

"I know." Surprisingly, James enveloped him in a hug. "We'll talk about that in a little bit. For now, let's get you back to the castle and cleaned up. How long have you been on the run?"

"S-since we got back here, Sir." They mount the horse.

"Hold on."

OUAT

When James and August staggered in well past 8:00 at night, the royal family jumped up.

"August!" Emma exclaimed, running over and throwing her arms around him, ignoring his uncleanly state. "Oh my God, are you okay? I'm so sorry I didn't believe you sooner! It's my fault."

"If there's anyone who should apologize, it's me." He said, hugging her back. Graham resisted the urge to slap the man. "I shouldn't have left you."

"I almost killed you! I did kill you!" She insisted, blinking back tears.

"I'm alive now." August assured her.

"Excuse me." Finally, the huntsman couldn't take it anymore. "You're the one who caused my wife all this pain?" He took a step forward.

"Emma, you're married now?"

"As of a few hours ago, yeah." The blonde shrugged as if it was no big deal. She stepped over to give the man some breathing room.

"You bastard!" A crack could be heard as Graham's fist collided with August's nose. He staggered backward, falling against the door.

"Graham!" Emma yelled, spinning around and pushing him away from them. "What the Hell was that!?"

"I don't know." He mumbled lamely.

"I'll go get you an icepack." She said.

"It's okay." August got up. "I deserved it. I deserve a lot more, so you can each take a whack."

"We would never do that, August. I forgive you."

"You do?" He asked hopefully.

"If it wasn't for what you did, I wouldn't have Henry. Besides, you were just a kid. I wasn't your responsibility, and your dad's the one who screwed up." She hugged him again. "I'm still getting you an icepack." When the blonde came back with it, she glared at Graham. "We'll discuss that in a little bit. I'm going to tuck Henry in." After she disappeared up the stairs, August motioned for Graham to follow him.

"Let's go for a walk."

"I'm not sorry." Graham said once they were outside.

"I wouldn't expect you to be." August smiled. "You're a lucky man."

"Don't tell me you like her." He stopped him so he could look him in the eye.

"I don't. I'm just commenting that you're lucky. You get brains, brawn, and hotness. I promise you we're just friends."

"I believe you." Graham replied.

"Do you have any idea why she cares about me so much? Last time I saw her she looked like she was going to kill me." August asked, switching the icepack to his left hand.

"In her mind, she did actually kill you. I mean, there's also the part where we're trying to have a baby and she's not pregnant, but…"

"Congratulations!" Graham could picture how the man was beaming, even though he couldn't see it. "Not for the not pregnant part, but for trying. You're going to be a great father."

"Thank you."

"Seriously Man, no hard feelings. Emma and I are friends and that's it. I'm sure that tomorrow, when she comes to her senses, she's going to never want to see me again."

"Eh, she's been better." He smiled. "And, I'm sorry about your nose and for being jealous. You had her for almost five years after I was gone and I guess I just thought… I don't know… that she moved on. But now I see you only want her to be happy, and if she's happy with me, then you'll leave it alone."

"Exactly. And hey, if you ever need any help with her or the baby, I'll be there." August offered.

"You do realize I have to escort you back to the castle?"

"I wasn't trying to get out of it."

"Sure you weren't."

OUAT

The men arrived back at the castle to a sight they weren't expecting. Snow, James, and Emma were sitting on the couch with mischievous looks on their faces. Graham gulped; he knew this was never a good sign.

"We've been thinking about your punishments." James said.

"August, you'll have to potty train Boston." Snow said, smirking.

"Who?"

"Emma's dog."

"Wait, he's living with us?" Graham asked.

"Until we figure out what we're doing with Gepetto." James explained.

"Alright, your Majesties." August bowed.

"Graham, you'll be punished tomorrow night." Emma said in a low, seductive voice.

"Thank you for not killing me." August smiled his thanks.

"If I had my way I would, but my daughter was adamant we not kill you. I still can." James threatened. Now it was August's turn to look around, his face anxiety-ridden.

"What are you going to do to my dad?"

"We understand where his decision came from." Snow said. "So we'll go easy, especially after Regina's reign."

"Can I see Henry tomorrow?" He asked.

"He'll be delighted." Emma responded. "Okay, Graham, let's go to bed." She got up and tugged him up the stairs. "Relax, I'll be nice tonight." She whispered. After half an hour of tossing and turning, she finally rolled onto him, her head resting on his chest. "Graham?"

"Yeah, Honey?"

"I'm sorry."

"Emma, don't blame yourself. It's not your fault. Like you said, we can try again. Doesn't it usually take a few times, anyway?"

"Not with Henry, it didn't." She replied with a sigh.

"It'll happen." He assured her. After the blonde was silent for a few minutes, he knew she was okay. "Is seeing August going to give you nightmares about killing Rumplestiltskin again?"

"I don't think so."

"If it does, I'm right here." He wrapped his arms around her.

"Graham?"

"Mhm?"

"If you ever do anything like that again, I'll be forced to hit you. I don't need protection."

"Can't I just be a jealous husband?"

"No. You have nothing to be jealous of. You do realize you're the sexiest beast in the realm, right?"

"I am?"

"I'm never going to leave you. You promised me that a while back, and I… I didn't reciprocate the reassurance, even though I was thinking it. So, I'm telling you now."

"I know you won't." He said, kissing the top of her head.

"I'm not actually going to punish you. I want to have a baby. Of course, we'll have to pretend I did so that no one thinks I'm getting soft with Regina and Gold running around freely."

"Okay. Goodnight, Emma."
