It was a new beginning. A fresh start.
It's been two months since the incident. The small town of Storybrooke was slowly picking up the pieces that have been broken by the Witch. Henry had regained his memories, and was devastated when he heard what happened to his mother. He spent many nights with tears in his eyes, but his family helped him through it.
And now, David stands in the middle of the small apartment, watching his son sleep in his arms. He gets a quick glance from his wife in the kitchen and he sees the smile on her face.
"So, um...do I get to hold him?" A familiar voice asks.
"I don't know," he turns around to face his beautiful daughter. His Emma. "You shouldn't even be out of bed."
"Well you know me," she smiles, "I'm just too damn stubborn."
David, and Snow both chuckle. It was true. She was stubborn as hell. But, she was also a fighter. Even when all hope seemed lost, she fought the Witch for everyone's happiness. She fought for her family. With those last moments with her father, when she told him that her death was her happiness, she ended up fighting for her life.
As the family continues to laugh, baby Leo begins to cry.
"Here, let me see him." Emma took her brother from her father's arms. She still had a hard time moving around with her injuries but managed to maneuver Leo so he was cradled in her arms.
"Shh...It's ok," Emma whispered, as David stood in shock with his wife as Leo instantly stopped crying as soon as he was settled in his sister's arms. "I've got you."
Emma stood there with her brother. She began talking to him, completely unaware that her parents are still in the room. "You're so tiny. You know that." She lifted her hand, placed it under Leo's palm. "You really just a little person, aren't you? You have fingers. I got fingers. You have arms. Igot arms." She chuckled. "You got mom's eyes though, while I got dad's."
"I'm not gonna lie to you, kid, this family's crazy." Emma laughed. "We always seem to lose one another, and it's hard. It's hard saying goodbye." She pauses to thing about that moment she thought she would die. "But, let me tell something. No matter what happens I will always find you. I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure you grow up with these...amazing parents. I'm giving you your happiness kid. So you know...enjoy it."
As if he heard her, Leo open his tiny eyes and raised his arm up. Emma leaned closer and his little hand touched her cheek. He started to giggle which of course, made Emma giggle.
In the kitchen, Snow lets out a sob as she listened to her daughter. Her son has no idea what an amazing sister he has. She makes her way around the counter and joins Emma in the living area. "I believe...I believe you're his favorite." Snow says.
"And know matter what happens," David kisses the side of Emma's head and whispers in her ear, "You will always be my favorite. My baby girl."
Emma lets her tears fall and is embraced by her parents. "I love you guys."
"We love you too," David says. "This is our happy ending."
