Descendants Chapter 17

Episode 10a

**Previously on Once Upon a Time**

"My last name is Belaqua. I mean that's the name I grew up with, until I found out the truth. My real name is Lyra Jones."

All eyes went to Killian.

"You're saying you're related to him?" Mary Margaret said.

Lyra went over to Killian and said, "Look at me."

Killian made a face similar to the one he'd made when he first met her in the Enchanted Forest. He looked into her eyes. His eyes. "Hi," he managed to say.

"Hi," Lyra said. She was smiling back at him sincerely.

Lyra turned to face everyone in the room. "We're from the future. I'm his and Emma's daughter." A few moments later she added, "guess who she is."

Mr. Gold stepped forward. "You're ours." Belle looked at him and back at Lena, who was afraid to face them.

"You have got to kidding me," Regina said. Everyone was still at the Sheriff's station.

"It's the truth," Lyra said. "Lena's my auntie."

"You're saying that Emma and the pirate have a child?" Regina said.

"You and my daughter," David said.

"Does this mean we're together in the future," Killian asked.

Lyra smiled sweetly.

Mr. Gold looked at Lena and touched her check. "You're beautiful."

Belle wrapped her arms around her husband's arm and looked at Lena.

"Are you guys really going to trust them after everything they've done?" Regina said. "Time travel can't be done, no matter how power you may be."

"Oh but we're quite powerful," Lyra turned to Regina.

"Wait what?" Mary Margaret asked.

"We?" David said. "She has magic too."

"She does," Mr. Gold said quietly. "Did I teach you?"

Lena looked at him.

"Please even her hair is magical," Lyra said.

"They haven't proved anything!" Robin said. "This is madness."

"I agree," Regina said. "Do you two have any proof you are who you say you are?"

Lyra and Lena looked at each other.

*title scene*

Still at the Sheriff's station, everyone's eyes were on Lena and Lyra.

"Look at them," Ruby responded to Regina.

Lyra faced Regina. She studied her face then looked at Lena. "Oh my God!"

"You believe them now?" Ruby said.

"Wait, there were more of you," Belle said.

"Oh Maryanne went back home," Lyra said. "She's Alice's daughter. From Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Will Scarlet's best friend."

"Yeah, he's mentioned her a lot," Robin said.

"And Melody was Ariel and Eric's daughter." Lena said.

"Oh, I'm glad her and Eric worked out," Belle said.

"So your Henry's sister," David said. "That explains why you two were talking about an Operation Falcon."

"How did you all time travel?" Regina asked.

"We used the White Rabbit," Lyra said.

"Why did just you four come?" Mary Margaret asked. "I mean surely many more of us have had children or will have children."

Lena but her lip.

"I think we all need to have a private conversation with our..." David said.
"-Descendant," Lyra asked.

Lyra and her dad talked in the mainroom of the station while Lena and her parents talked down the hall. Mary Margaret and David waited for their turn in his office. Everyone else had left to spread the news.

"I don't know where to start," Belle said.

"You had that picture of Bea, because you never met him," Mr. Gold said.

Lena nodded at him.

"Why Thumbelina?" Belle asked. "Why that iconic name?"

"I was born small," Lena said.

"And you grew up in the Enchanted Forest?" Mr. Gold asked.

"I can't go too much into detail about that." Lena said, "But yeah I've lived there for a majority of my life."

"How is your life there?" Mr. Gold asked.

"It's great. We have a huge library." Lena said.

Belle smiled," So you like to read too?"

Lena nodded at her mom.

"Do you struggle with power?" Mr. Gold asked.

Lena faced him. "A little. But you helped with that."

Mr. Gold's eyes started to glisten.

"Lyra said you hair is magical?" Belle asked.

"Yeah. It's kind of a long story." Lena said.

"We've got time," Mr. Gold said.

Over in the mainroom, Lyra and Killian stood and faced each other. Killian couldn't take his eyes off his daughter.

"You look just like Emma," he said.

"I'm a lot like her too. I'm both of you." Lyra said.

"This is the greatest magic of all," Killian smiled.

Lyra hugged her dad and her hugged her back. When they released from each other, he asked, "so we're all happy in the future? Emma is no longer the dark one and we're happy?"

"Once she returns to you, she's not the dark one for much longer." Lyra said.

"She's not de-"

"No no. You're both alive my future and together."

"Are we good parents?" He asked.

Lyra looked down. "You two didn't raise me. And when I did find you two... She never told you about me and that caused you two to fight. And that made you resent me."

A tear fell from his eye. "I'm so sorry. How could that have happened?"

Lyra's eyes filled with water, "It's okay. I'm going to change that."

Lena hugged her parents again. "I have to go."

"I don't want to let you out of my sight," Belle said.

"You'll see me again." Lena said. "I'll still be here tomorrow."

"Can we have Dinner together?" Belle asked.

Lena smiled at them. "I'd love that."

"Tonight," Mr. Gold said.

"Our home." Belle said.

"Okay." Lena said.

"They're their children!?" Leroy said at the diner. He was sitting at a booth across from his fiancé.

Ruby had just told him the news. "Yes."

"That explains it," Lily said at the booth next to them. She sat next to her mom mad August was across from them. "When I met Lyra, I saw Emma."

"That's why none of us knew of them," Ruby said.

"But then, why are they here?" Astrid asked. "Why did they come to the past?" She looked at Leroy who now had a concerned look upon his face. Ruby considered her words and in the backroom to get their food.

Lena went back to room 404. The barrier was still up. She gathered all her stuff and Lyra's stuff too. She grabbed her cookies which were hidden in her drawer. Maryanne's belongings were all gone. Melody didn't have anything with them, but a few outfits they bought. Lena left those behind. Inside Lyra's drawer, she found a note. It was a long letter. Lyra read it bridge putting it back. She closed the drawer and walked over to the door. She put the barrier down and left the room for the last time.

When she reached the lobby, she placed their money they owe on the front desk. Their coins were in a bag with a label that had their names on it.

Lyra walked with her grandparents and her uncle over to the loft. David took the cuff off of Lyra.

"Sorry about that," David said.

"Ah, I feel my energy coming back," Lyra said.

A few seconds later, David asked. "You're not like slick like your father are you?"

Lyra laughed, "Maybe a little."

"How's Emma in the future?" Mary Margaret asked.

"No longer the dark one and still alive." Lyra said.

"Do you like it better there or here?" David asked. "I mean here there's technology and cars."

"But at home we have castles we can visit and horses. Pfft we have unicorns." Lyra said.

"We're not constantly plagued by magical threats are we?" Mary Margaret asked.

"No. At first there were but now there's peace. Has been for years. An occasional creature will show up." Lyra said.

"Are you happy there?" David asked.

"...it's complicated." She said.

They continued their conversation inside the loft.

"How is Neal in the future? Is he a good kid?" Mary Margaret asked.

"Yeah. He's really sweet." Lyra said. She took a seat on the couch. Mary Margaret and David sat in the armchairs near her.

"Does Killian still drink?" David asked.

"He didn't touch the stuff for ten years," Lyra said. Once she showed up in the Enchanted Forest, he started again.

"Are you all friends, I mean you and Neal and all the other descendants?" Mary Margaret asked.

"Yeah, we all get along pretty well." Lyra said.

"What was wrong with your life?" Mary Margaret asked. "Why did you come here, in this time?"

Lyra scratched her arm. "Does it matter? We're going to change it."

"Change what?" David asked.

Lyra looked at her grandpa and tilted her head. "I'm going to get my happy ending."

"Can you be more specific?" Mary Margaret asked.

Lyra's chin quivered and she nodded, "Yeah."
