So sorry about nit updating yesterday! The day got away from me. I am going to trying extra hard to update on time next week, since it's the last chapter. So, if you have any requests for a scene in the Epilogue, it's your last chance to let me know!
Thank for all the support on this story!
I do not own OUAT or its characters.
Chapter Thirty
Ending
Emma had to restrain herself from rolling her eyes. Of course he's Flynn Rider. Even after all the time she had lived in Storybrooke, she still didn't have the mindset that everyone in this town was a fairytale character, and she was glad.
Emma nodded. "I'm Emma Jones and this is my family. We have a way to help you."
Regina stepped forward, holding the bottle of Pixie Flower Dust up. "This will help you find your True Love: your wife and daughter."
Flynn nodded. "Thank you."
"David and I are going to go with you and help you," Regina said.
Emma was about to protest, but then she caught Killian's eye. He was giving her a pleading look. Emma just nodded.
"Okay. Can we go?" Flynn asked.
Regina nodded and David stepped forward. He held up a magic bean. "We know where your daughter is so we are going to use this to get to her. Then we will use the dust to find your wife." They hadn't planned on using the bean, but they needed a way to get to Flynn's daughter.
"But, Dad," Emma said. "How will you get home?"
Regina pulled out another bottle with pink dust in it. "David and I will use this to find a portal back to our True Loves, Henry for me and Snow for David."
Emma nodded. "Okay." She backed up towards Killian and Henry.
David threw the bean on the floor and a green portal opened. Flynn, Regina, and David joined hands and jumped in.
"I'm glad you didn't try to go with them," Killian teased.
Emma smiled at him. "Me, too. 'Cause I want to take a nap before Harper gets home. I'm dead tired."
Killian gave her a serious look. "Don't even joke about that." He smiled and gave her a quick kiss. "Why don't you head home and I'll deal with Gold."
Emma shook her head. "No way. He has magic. I'm coming."
"You shouldn't even use your magic," Killian said. "It's dangerous."
"So is Gold. I'm going." She smiled and turned around.
Belle and Gold were having their own conversation, laughing and smiling.
Emma's heart clenched. "Do you think… do you think that maybe we shouldn't lock him up?" Emma asked quiet enough so that Belle and Gold couldn't hear.
Killian's eyes blew wide. "What?"
Emma looked up him. "I know it sounds crazy, but… we could give him another chance."
"He's betrayed us too many times, Emma," Killian tried to reason.
"I know. I know, but…" Emma looked back over at Belle and Gold. "Belle… she looks happier then she has been in a long time."
Killian looked over at them. Belle really did look happy. Killian shook his head. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but you're right."
Emma looked at him and laughed. "You can't believe I'm right?"
Killian chuckled. "I can't believe that you're right about this. I just… I don't want to give Belle false hope or put anyone in danger."
"No one would be in danger," Emma said. "We'll make sure Gold keeps the cuff on."
"She has a point, Dad," Henry said.
"Doesn't she always?" Killian chuckled. He released Emma's hand and walked over to the happy couple.
They both looked at Killian, smiles fading when they realized what was probably going to happen.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to take Gold back to his prison. I came to tell you the good news." He took a breath. He couldn't believe he was doing this. "Emma and I… we think that it would be a good idea if you, Crocodile, stayed out of your cage."
Gold's face brightened. "Really?"
Killian nodded. "Aye, but you still have to wear the cuff."
Gold smiled. "Thank you, Captain."
The words took Killian by surprise. He opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out.
Emma laughed and grabbed Killian's hand. "Come on."
"Will she even remember me?" Flynn asked as they trekked through the forest.
Regina shook her head. "No, she won't, but I am going to do something better then make her remember you: I'm going to turn her back into a baby again, back to the baby you and your wife lost all those years ago."
Flynn smiled. "Thank you."
Regina nodded as they approached the old house of King George and Dr. Facilier. Regina opened the door.
"How do you know that she's still here?" David asked.
"She is, trust me." Regina walked through another door, a door that led to a bedroom, and and frowned. "Who are you?"
Sitting on the bed, next to Flynn's daughter, was a woman dressed in an apron.
"Rapunzel?" Flynn asked.
The woman smiled. "Eugine?"
The two ran over to each other and pulled each other into a hug.
"How are you here?" Flynn asked as he pulled away.
"Dr. Facilier, he kept me here to watch Ally while he was away," Rapunzel explained.
"Ally?"
Rapunzel nodded. "That's our daughter's name."
Flynn smiled. "You chose it?"
"Of course I did. It was the one thing that Dr. Facilier let me do."
"Regina here," Flynn explained. "Was going to turn Ally back into a baby so we could raise her - together.
Rapunzel looked at her daughter for a moment and took a breath. "Okay." She looked at Flynn. "Let's raise our daughter together." They both looked at Regina.
Regina waved her hand and, soon enough, there was a small, newborn baby crying on the bed.
Flynn and Rapunzel rushed over and picked up their daughter, calming her immediately.
Flynn looked up and smiled at Regina. "Thank you so much."
"It was my pleasure," Regina said.
Regina and David smiled. They said their goodbyes and headed back home.
Emma and Killian sat on the couch. One of Killian's arms was around Emma's shoulders, holding her close, while the other hand was resting over Emma's hand on Emma's stomach.
"I don't know, Killian. I like the name Eva," Emma said.
"We can't name our son Eva," Killian protested.
"It might not be a boy."
"It's going to be a boy, that I am certain of."
Emma shrugged. "Fine. We can chose a boy name and decorate his room for a boy, but if it turns out to be a girl-" she shrugged again "- you're going to have to explain to them why you decorated the room as if it was for a boy."
"We won't decorate the room until we know for sure."
"What if we don't want to know for sure?" Emma teased. "Well, before the baby is born."
"We are going to want to know," Killian argued. "You know that."
Emma laughed. "Yeah, I guess you're right."
Killian chuckled. He and Emma sat there for the next little bit. They enjoyed being together without worrying that their child could be taken from them any minute. Eventually, Killian heard Emma's steady breathing and smiled. She had finally given into her tiredness and fell asleep.
"Emma! I'm so glad you're okay!" Granny exclaimed as Emma, Killian, and Harper entered the diner that night.
Snow had decided that they needed to celebrate Emma's return with a potluck at Granny's. So, here they were, pretty much the whole town.
Emma smiled at her. "Thanks."
"Mommy!" Harper yelled. "Mommy!"
Emma smiled down at her daughter. "What is it, sweetheart?"
Harper pointed over to where Neal was sitting with his parents. "Can I go play?"
Emma nodded and let go of her hand. "Go ahead."
"Thank you!" She turned and ran towards Neal.
Emma watched as her little girl and little brother chased each other around. She sighed in contentment.
"You alright there, Swan?" Killian asked.
Emma turned towards him as he put an arm around her waist. She did the same and put a hand on his chest. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just…" Emma looked over at Harper. "She grew up so fast."
"She's not grown up just yet, love. And soon-" Killian put his hand on Emma's stomach. "We'll have a new little one to take care of."
Emma smiled. She was so happy that she didn't have to worry about villains or curses right now. All she had to worry about was what to name the new baby.
"Come on, you two! Stop standing there and come and eat something!" Granny yelled.
Emma and Killian laughed, pulling away from each other and holding hands instead. They walked over to Snow and David and started talking with them.
"How are you feeling, Emma?" Snow asked.
"I'm fine, Mom," Emma said.
"How's the baby feeling?" Snow added.
Emma smiled. "He or she is fine, too."
Snow smiled. "Great."
"It better stay that way," David teased. "No more villains."
Emma threw her hand up, her free hand so she didn't have to let go of Killian's hand. "Hey, it's not my fault people are still dumb enough to come after us after everything we've been through."
Killian smiled. Emma truly had come a long way since they first meant. She used to be closed off and was scared of letting anybody in. Now, she had let her son in, her parents, her husband and their daughter, though she didn't really need anyone to help her let Harper in.
They got home early that night, Emma wanting to spend more time with her husband and kids.
Emma and Killian sat on the couch, Emma tucked close to Killian and his arm wrapped around her. Harper sat on Killian's lap, Killian's other arm going around her. Henry sat next to Emma, who was holding onto one of his hands tightly. They were watching one of the Disney princess movies, Harper's choice.
Emma couldn't help but smile. She was with her family. Her family that she had been torn away from time and time again, but she wasn't going to let that happen again, not anymore.
Hope you enjoyed that chapter!
