Regina:

"You never told us how you got out of the vault." Snow asked as they left the pawnshop. The whole group had marched straight there deciding the only way they could be sure about Anne-Marie was to have Rumple read her memories.

"It's true!" He had cried, tickled, "All evil memories have been covered by the new ones. She's as harmless as a puppy dog. Well done, my boy."

Still, they all agreed that perhaps Anne-Marie should stay in Rumple's shop for the next few days – just in case.

Emma shrugged and answered her mother, "I don't know. We were waiting, going out of our freaking minds and suddenly there was this really loud pop. We tried throwing some things at the barrier but they just went through so we left and started to look for you guys."

"Hmm." Snow nodded.

Regina lightly brushed the back of Henry's hair, "I can't believe you did it. I'm so proud of you."

Her son grinned up at her.

They walked in silence until they reached the front door of their home. Snow hugged all of them tightly murmuring relief and then started off down the street.

Exhaustion hit as soon as they unlocked the door. It had been a very long and very hard few days and all Regina wanted to do was sleep.

Henry and Emma drifted off toward the living room but Regina stayed behind, a pin of bother pulling at her. Feeling the need to be completely sure Regina slowly walked back to the foyer of the house and pulling the last little bit of magic she had available to her released into the air a tight bubble enveloping the property in a clear but strong layer of magical protection. Finally, she felt her shoulders relax.

Tossing her shoes off of her feet she slumped into the living room beside Emma, Sarah clutched tightly on her legs and Henry tucked tightly to her side, a river of tears flowing down Emma's cheeks again.

Sitting next to her, she pulled her face to her kissing her soggy lips deeply. Emma took a deep breath and cried harder.

"It's okay love." She said reassuringly, pulling her family tightly into her, "We all found one another and we will never be apart again."
