If you like, you can consider the story having ended in the last chapter
Some time later…
All were at the Storybrooke town line, saying their goodbyes to Henry and Emma.
Henry stopped briefly by Robin. "I'm glad you'll be there with Mom"
Robin ruffled his hair, like his mother would, "You're a good kid, Henry. It was nice to know you."
And Roland, looking up at his young idol, wearing his Hobbit T-shirt. The boys had watched the movie about a hundred times. "See you, Frodo," Henry called him by his nickname, "be a hero." Roland hugged him tight, clearly not understanding, but knowing what goodbye meant.
Out of the corner of her eye, Regina saw Hook saying something to Emma, and other farewells.
Her heart tore in two when she hugged her son for the last time.
She knew the right thing to do.
Yes, she would have Robin and Roland, but she had to give up the great love of her life. But to make him happy, she would have to do something worse.
Only Emma heard the plan to give them new memories.
Her last gift to her son.
For a brief moment Regina watched the bug drive away.
And then she cast the spell that would send them all to the Enchanted Forest.
A.N.
I know that I said that the Epilogue would be happy, but then "Going Home" happened and I decided to keep the story going and do the best I could to tie it into canon. Unfortunately, I will have to wait until we see OutlawQueen in March to do that Thank you all for the lovely reviews and for enjoying this.
See you in March!
(I have some "Interludes" that follow which will cover shameless fluff—we'll need it to get through the wait—between the time of Regina and Robin's reunion and "Going Home.")
