"This is my fault." Emma said, looking through the window at her family, currently sedated in their hospital beds. Regina, Cody, Ivar and Henry were all injured in the Black Fairy's escape from the prison and the attack on her home. At the moment, Evie, Whale and Belle were currently tending to the wounded while Giselle sat at Ivar's bedside. On one side of Emma stood Snow and David and on the other were Grace and Alexander. Her siblings were currently doing damage control with Zelena and cleaning up any evidence of the attack at the house. Adam was fine but Myra and Nala were gone. Mal had to use a magic crystal to get everyone to the hospital in Storybrooke in time to help them.

"Explain how that's possible." Grace replied.

"Regina wanted to move the kids. She didn't like Fiona knowing where we lived. We could've taken them anywhere: the lakehouse, the summer house, even back here. I was the one who convinced her that it was okay for them to stay there. I told her Fiona was locked up, she was powerless."

"Emma, don't do that to yourself." Snow whispered, rubbing her back.

"No, if I had listened to her, my sons would not be laying in bed with holes in their chests." Emma hissed. "I don't care if the Black Fairy brainwashed them, I'm going to kill every last person in her fucking world." She looked at Grace. "They killed the dogs too."

"At least find comfort in knowing that your family is alive." Xander said. "We will get Myra and Nala back, but berating yourself over something you couldn't foresee isn't going to help anyone." Emma slowly nodded. "We'll go find Mal and talk to the fairies to figure out our next move. You stay here, wait for them to wake up."

"No, I want-"

"You're staying here." Grace gave her a firm look that she remembered far too well from her childhood. This was not up for discussion.

"We'll be back soon." David promised.

Her parents departed and Emma leaned against the wall, her fingers itching to kill something. Fiona was going to pay for this. She might even call Regina to go Evil Queen for some torture because this was not going to stand. They had to find her daughters. Could Fiona even leave without her wand? The only person who knew where it was hidden was Zelena and that gave her some consolation, but now she wanted to keep Zelena in her sights as well.

"Emma." She looked up as Dianah and Lily came down the hall. Her sister quickly pulled her in for a tight hug. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah." Emma nodded, holding on to her sister for dear life. Dianah was more than willing to hold her until she was ready to let go.

"Don't even worry about it. We're gonna find them."

"Guess we should've let Mal kill Fiona when we had the chance." Emma sighed.

"Maybe, but too late for that now." Lily replied.

All three turned around when Evie stepped out of the room, looking weary and tired after hours of surgery.

"You okay?" Emma asked. "Was it really bad?"

"No worse than expected." Evie shrugged. "I did what I could."

"Full report." Emma said.

Evie nodded and looked down at the clipboard in her hands. "Beginning with Regina, I had to pull over two dozen shards of metal and glass out of her torso from the bomb blast, as well as some hearing loss that should go away in a few days. She lost a lot of blood but she should make a full recovery." She turned the page and pointed at Cody through the window. "Fractured jaw, a few broken ribs, and a gunshot wound to the chest. We got some health elixirs from Regina's vault and gave him some mild painkillers. He should be fine as well. Henry was shot twice. Once in the chest and once in the stomach. I got the bullets out. He took a nasty hit on the back of the head, but he should make a full recovery too."

"And Ivar?"

Evie turned the page again. "It looks like he took the worst of it. Four bullet wounds, three broken ribs, broken jaw, splinters...I had to pull a knife blade out of his abdomen. He nearly bled out. It was lucky they were found in time. You have a very resilient family, Em."

"I know. And Adam?"

"For the most part, he's fine. From what I can see, he tried to stop them too. Poor thing lost a couple teeth trying to bite them. He's with Grandma right now at the mansion."

Emma took a deep breath. "Thanks, E. You are a fucking lifesaver. Literally."

"None required. You can go in now." Dianah and Lily wasted no time in going inside, but Evie grabbed Emma's arm, stopping her from doing the same. Emma gave her sister a puzzled look. "Congratulations, by the way."

"What?"

"Why didn't you tell me? I nearly messed up her meds." Evie went on.

"Wait, what are you talking about?"

Evie frowned as well, looking as confused as Emma felt right now. "Regina's pregnancy. You could've told me. Even if you guys wanted to keep it a secret-"

"I didn't know." Emma sat down in the one of the chairs nearby. "I swear I didn't."

"Oh...Well, maybe she didn't either. She was only a few weeks along by the looks of it." Evie came to sit next to her. Emma swallowed and nodded. Why wouldn't Regina tell her about her pregnancy? They didn't keep secrets like this from each other. Perhaps she really didn't know…

"Is the baby okay?"

"I don't know for sure, but I didn't see anything concerning. I can send off a few more tests if you want."

"Please."

"Sure thing. But get in there before she wakes up. Talk to her about it. I'm sure everything will be fine."

Emma said nothing for the moment. She would spend another hour in the hospital, waiting, before Regina finally woke up. By then, Adam and Rose had come to sit with her. When Regina started to stir, she was instantly by her wife's side.

"Emma."

"I'm right here, Regina." Emma took her hand and kissed the back of it, smiling at watching Regina come to.

"Tell me it was a dream."

"I wish I could." Emma whispered. Regina started to sit up but Emma stopped her. "You need to rest." She wanted to question Regina about the pregnancy right then and there, and she almost asked about it, but she held her tongue, deciding that this was a conversation better had away from prying eyes. Regina hadn't shown any signs whatsoever about being pregnant, but they had been very preoccupied for a while.

"I need to find my daughters. And my sons-" Regina looked over and noticed who lay in the other beds. She started pulling out her IV and anything else attached to her. Emma knew it was pointless to stop her, so she helped her as best as she could and changed the baby blue medical gown she wore into one of her favorite pantsuits. Her wife hardly noticed, so intent was her desire to check on her children. "What happened? Were they badly hurt?" She raised her hand, summoning a ball of golden fire in her hand.

"Maybe you should hold off on the magic until you've recovered." Emma intervened.

Regina paused for just a moment before ignoring her warning and sending the fire around the room, healing each of her sons as much as her magic would allow. Henry sat up in bed, gasping and coughing. Rose left to get him something to drink and returned with a bottle of water.

"Mom, Myra and Nala-"

"We already know, kid." Emma said.

"We tried to stop them. They came out of nowhere." He gasped. Rose made him drink some more and pushed him back down to calm himself down.

"It's okay." Regina assured him with a hug. "We'll get them back."

Henry looked over at Ivar, who was still unconscious. "Ivar fought the hardest. He wouldn't stay down."

"I'm not surprised." Giselle said, looking at her son fondly. "He has his mother's spirit."

Emma fought the urge to roll her eyes at her and went to check on Cody. She felt of his forehead and his eyes fluttered open, doing a quick sweep of the room. "Hey."

"You have some explaining to do." He croaked with a smirk.

"We'll fill you in on the way to the mansion, but uh, I should apologize that this happened to you. I knew there was a risk to adopting you guys right now and I should've waited-"

"Emma. Don't apologize for giving me a home." Cody said. He moved to sit up and she hooked an arm around his to help him up. "Besides, we need to find the bastards who did this. You call in the police? Get all your FBI, CIA friends in on it?"

Emma shook her head. "Yeah...no. We can't, but you'll see in a little bit why." Not long later, Ivar rejoined the waking world and Emma helped Regina take the boys to the mansion where the war party was gathering. The Swans and the Charmings were already making their way inside. Mal was sitting outside, waiting for them. More specifically, Rose perhaps. In dragon form, she was holding perfectly still as the rising sun warmed her iridescent scales. She didn't stir at the group walking up the street towards her.

"So, let me get this straight." Cody said, walking next to Regina. "Your mom is the Queen of Hearts and Emma's mom is Snow White. Your mom killed your boyfriend because Snow told her about your relationship and then forced you to marry Snow White's dad, who was like seventy at the time and then you murdered him and kicked Snow out and then there was a big war for the throne, which you lost so you decided to curse everyone. Snow had a baby and that ended up being Emma and she got sent to this world and met a guy whose dad is called the Dark One, who also happens to be the son of the crazy woman who just escaped from prison. Emma had a baby with the dark guy's son, who ended up being Henry." Emma smirked to herself just listening to him trying to sort everything out. "You give him up for adoption and miraculously, out of every kid in the world, he gets picked up by Regina and then ten years later you two meet, try to kill each other, end up falling in love, blah blah. Not to mention that Rose is also the daughter of the escapee and her daughter, Grace, ended up adopting Emma. Grace once had a relationship with a guy who adopted Lily, who is...a dragon." Henry and Regina couldn't resist laughing at the look on his face. "Lily also happens to be the daughter of Maleficent and was also cursed and banished by Snow White and...and...pardon my french, your majesty, but...what the fuck?! Your entire lives are the most convoluted, intertwined, torturous things I've ever heard. Oh yeah, let's not forget that every fairy tale character is apparently real!"

"There is actually a lot you still don't know." Henry smirked, clapping him on the back. "But you'll catch up."

"I think I need to be put back to sleep and wake up again because I think I'm in the wrong area of time and space because this is crazy. If it's true by the way, you guys should sue Disney. You'll get rich." Cody looked up at the mansion and threw up his hands. "Why did you buy a giant dragon statue? Is it a queen thing?"

"No, it's a Mal thing. That's not a statue." Regina grinned.

Rose stepped around them and whistled. Mal's head snapped down to look at them and Cody nearly twisted his ankles diving behind Ivar. Rose walked right up to her lover and Mal laid her head on the ground, letting out a deep purr when Rose kissed her scaly cheek.

"Come on, we have a lot to go over." Emma said, leading the way into the mansion, where the others were going over everything they knew about Fiona Black, the Black Fairy, and whatever they thought she could want.

"The bloodline thing doesn't even make sense." Grace said, after they had gathered in the living room. Emma had forgotten how huge Regina's house was. Her wife silently listened to them speculate while holding a sleeping Adam in her arms. The poor thing just couldn't keep his eyes open after his ordeal.

"If this was about her bloodline, then she would've taken Henry." Xander added in agreement. "He was the only one in the house biologically related to her and he has the heart of the truest believer. Her men went straight for Myra and Nala."

"Well, we know she likes stealing children." Dianah replied. "Henry's sixteen. Myra and Nala are more malleable."

"She let herself get arrested. She knew you had adopted kids even after she was imprisoned." Zelena murmured. "She had people watching. Probably the same ones who caused the prison to riot and planted that bomb to help her escape."

"She can't take them anywhere, can she?" Emma asked.

Zelena shrugged. "She could if she prepared for it. When we're not in Storybrooke, our magic still works, but it is diluted in a sense, less potent, weaker. Bringing magical objects into the Land Without Magic don't have this problem. That's how Mal was able to use her magic crystal and bring you all here so quickly. It was enchanted before she left Storybrooke. Fiona could be anywhere right now and if she brought something from her world, for instance, something that could create a portal, she could be long gone. And because her world is technically not a real world and one created by the fairies, it would be easier to pass between them if she was able to break through once. Although, I doubt she would leave her wand behind. Fairy magic will hardly work without one."

"Then we get them to tell us how to get to her world." David said.

"It won't be that easy, Farmer." The witch scoffed. "In her world, she reigns supreme. There is no telling how much pixie dust she has stockpiled or how many children she abducted and forced to fight for her."

"Could you use her wand against her?" Rose asked.

"You bloody genius." Zelena remarked. "That could work. It would be delicate work, but it could work."

Through it all, Regina had not said a word. When Emma looked at her, she was staring ahead at nothing. "Regina?" She reached out to her wife's hand and took it. "Mrs. Swan?" It took her moment to respond, but when she did, she just stared at Emma. "Regin-"

"Bloodlines." Regina murmured. "A special bloodline, she said. The magical child of the Evil Queen and the Savior sound special to you?" All eyes were on her now. "Granddaughter of the Queen of Hearts and Snow White and Prince Charming, the irritating embodiments and living proof of the magic of True Love. I don't know why she took Nala, but Myra must have magic. Honestly, I didn't trust a word she said in the prison, except the fact that she wanted to have it all. This is about power and about her family. I think she wants her family, but she also wants power and the power is her greater desire. I think we all know how corrupting it can be."

"What does that have to do with Myra having magic?" Emma demanded. "She's just a child."

"Based on her bloodline, she should have magic. Very powerful magic. I never even bothered to find out considering she's been to Storybrooke twice in her entire life." Regina retorted.

"That's not good then." Mal sighed.

"Why?" Emma said. "Just tell me what it means."

"It means that Fiona could try to brainwash Myra and have her work for her, use her power for Fiona's good." The dragon answered. "It's the only way she could possibly make use of it."

"Then why not use you, or Zelena or us?" Emma stood up and Grace and Snow both reached out to her, but she pushed them away.

"Because it is difficult to take someone else's power if they were born with it. I suppose you can take out their heart, but she knows that as experienced as we are, we've used our magic to protect ourselves from that happening. We can defend ourselves, and Myra can't. She knows that Regina will have protected her heart so she would have to go after your daughter's mind. The other option is worse..." Maleficent growled. "Myra will be killed so Fiona can steal her power. That combined with all of her pixie dust and fairy magic, as well as having her two children at her side. That's her goal. That's what she wants. She would be unstaoppable then. She could have it all."

"Her children hate her."

"Soon, she will have the power to do whatever she wants to, regardless of how they feel. She could make Storybrooke her world for all we could do to stop her."

"She could cast another Dark Curse." Regina said, looking at the dragon. "Worse than the last. You once said that whoever created that monstrosity makes the two of us look positively moral. She could create whatever world she wants."
