=======================================
A/N: Please do not judge me this is my first time writing something like this
A hospital bed comes into view of everyone
Emma:
(Emma, Regina, Dr. Whale, and Mother Superior are gathered in Henry’s room at the hospital.
Regina: No… No…
Emma: I love you, Henry.
(Emma kisses Henry on the forehead, which causes the spell he was under to be broken. A pulse of magic spreads throughout Storybrooke. He wakes up and gasps.)
Henry: I love you, too. You saved me.
Regina: You did it.
(The pulse of magic awakens everyone in the town. Soon, a crowd begins to gather in Henry’s room.)
Emma: Henry… What’s going on?
Regina: No…
Henry: The curse. I think you broke it.
Mother Superior: That was true love’s kiss.
Regina: No, no…
Mother Superior: If I were you, Your Majesty, I’d find a place to hide.
Regina: Henry… No matter what you think, no matter what anyone tells you, I do love you.
(Regina flees the room.)
(David, after turning back from the edge of Storybrooke, sees Mary Margaret in the street.)
David: Snow!
MMB: Charming.
(The two run towards each other.)
MMB: You found me.
David: Did you ever doubt I would?
(They kiss.)
———–
(Mr. Gold and Belle continue to watch the purple smoke pour out of the well.)
Belle: I-I don’t understand.
Mr. Gold: We’re in a land without magic, Belle. And I’m bringing it. Magic… Is coming.
Belle: Why?
Mr. Gold: Why? Because of magic… Is power.
(The purple smoke continues to engulf Storybrooke. Regina, still observing from the window, smiles. The smoke wraps around the clock tower, as the clock strikes 8:15.)
----------------------------------------------
Few minutes prior to these events
Elizabeth POV
I was waiting back at my Papa's pawn shop for him to come back.
He told me he would prefer I stay inside the safety of the pawn shop seeing as all the chaos that has been happening as of late.
And then he just dashed off with the woman he keeps calling Belle.
Everything as of late has been whacko. More whacko than average. I just wish I knew what was going on
'It all started the day Emma Swan rolled into town' I think as I lay on a cot in the back room of the pawn shop.
'Not that I'm blaming Emma.'
'I really want to go see if Henry is okay. He's my only friend in the small, weird town.'
"I mean it's not like Papa will notice I'm gone at all," I say as I get off the cot I was just lying on.
I reach down and grab my shoes and put them on. I then go over to the coat rack and grab my jacket and my scarf, seeing as it is a little windy outside.
I walk toward the entrance of the pawn shop and twist the knob and open the door to the outside world.
The minute I laid my feet outside there was a slight gust of wind and I felt goosebumps go all over my body making me shiver.
I turn in the direction of the hospital and start to walk that way wrapping my jacket closer to me.
"I have a really bad feeling about this," I say to no one.
-----------------------------------
I walk for a little bit till I reach the edge of the town square.
Just as I go to turn the corner a feel a sharp breeze blow through my head making me go stalk still at the corner of Maine Street.
A whole bunch of memories start flooding into my brain. Funny thing is I don't remember any of these memories, like at all. I get sweeped into my brain and start relieving memories I do not remember at all.
Elizabeth Memories
Still Elizabeth POV
A dwarf tells Mary Margaret to keep pushing and David Nolan stands next to her encouraging her.
'Why are Mary Margaret Blanchard and David Nolan in these memories?' I ask myself out loud. No one heard me.
I kept watching.
I noticed off to the side a little behind David Nolan was a small, young girl no more than 5 years old. She was wearing a beautiful snow white dress, and cute little white shoes, and she had her hair up in a half up half down with little jewels and a white bow in her hair. She looked nervous about who must be her parents.
I looked back toward Mary Margaret and David Nolan.
"Just one more push your Majesty" with one final push her baby was out.
"Oh...oh" Mary Margaret said in pain, relief and happiness.
"Congratulations your Majesty"
'Your Majesty?!?' why was this short man calling Mary Margaret your Majesty? I'm so lost and confused right now.
'Just keep watching!' I tell myself. And I did.
"You did it, Snow. You did it. Your okay!" David said in a soothing caring tone
'Wait what Snow? As in Snow White. The same one from Henry's Storybook' I ask myself. I'm now totally lost.
"I sure did Charming. I sure did" Snow? says
'Snow, Charming. WTF! This has to be a figment of my imagination. No way any of this is real' I say out loud.
I see out of the corner of my eye the young girl walk toward Charming?!?
I'm so lost and confused.
The young girl hugs her dads legs and he pats her head while hold Snows? hand with the other.
The dwarf size man comes back with the little girl wrapped and swaddled in a cloth switched baby blanket.
I decide to walk forward and see what was on it.
"What shall you name her your highness?" the dwarf man asks
Snow and Charming? (man this is still confusing, what this got to do with me at all) looked at each other with a knowing look.
"Elizabeth. Her name shall be Elizabeth!!!"
I froze. I stopped walking toward the bed.
'Elizabeth. No way. That's my name. No, it has to be a coincidence? This all has to be a coincidence'
I get out of my frozen state and walk around the canopy bed and go to the other side to get a look at the baby in Snow's arms.
I look at the baby and it looks so similar to me. Its facial features are so similar to mine.
'Wait! If that's me then where's....' I trail off.
'Henry always mentions Emma as Snow and Charming oldest daughter. Wait that means that....'
I turn my head toward the little girl and now I see it.
I see it all. OMG! That little's girls facial features look so familiar earlier now I know why.
This girl is Emma!
'That means that this Enchanted Forest really exists and that Henry was right the entire time about me being the long-lost daughter of Snow and Charming...Mary Margaret and David Nolan. GAH this is so confusing it's annoying'
I then hear what is warning bells in the distance.
I panic internally. I look toward my parents? gosh, that's weird to say. I love Mr. Gold as my Papa. My mind snaps back. Mr. Gold, omg!
Wait that means Henry was right about him being Rumplestiltskin as well. OMG, I'm the adopted daughter of Rumplestiltskin. Well, now when I say it like that...it sounds cool and awesome.
Anyway back to the situation.
They take about how the Evil Queen is here and how Charming needs to get Emma to the wardrobe.
He and snow fight and he finally goes. But not before giving her a kiss.
"Come back to me," she says, "I always will" charming says in return and he takes off with 5-year-old Emma in one of his arms (Emma is on his hip) and a sword in the other.
They turned the hall and I decided to go see what happens so I follow Charming. Not before turning back to my biological mother, and seeing her coddling crying 1 minute old me in her arms.
I reluctantly turn and follow in the way Charming went
{Time skip - we all know what happens with Charming, the Evil Queens Guards, Snow (but this time she has baby Elizabeth in her arms), and the Evil Queen}
I saw the room get covered in some dark mist that is supposed to be this curse that Henry keeps talking about.
Memories end
I gasp and open my eyes. I then blink my eyes to readjust them to the sun.
I then take in my surroundings and see a whole lot of people in the town square and the streets now.
Some run to others and hug them. Others seem to look confused about what's going on. I then see two figures off in the distance and now exactly who they are.
MY BIOLOGICAL PARENTS - Snow White and Prince David "Charming"
I see they are having a moment so I go to walk back to Papa's? (do I still call him that anymore? ) I think about the whole biological parent reveal through my memories and my mind goes back to Mr. Gold, my cursed version father. 'What will Snow and Charming think to know one of their biggest enemies (I know through Henry's little book ok) raising their biological daughter.' I stop walking and stay in place on the sidewalk. I have left the town square by now and headed back toward the pawnshop
I think about this predicament with a serious-looking but sad-looking face. I then come to a realization.
"You know what! I don't care if Snow and Charming hate it. He was the one that raised me all these years. He was the one who was there for me when I got sick or needed a shoulder to cry on (other than Henry). He tucked me in at night and loved and cherished me. If that changes because Emma broke the curse. I'll be damned if I let that happen. Rumplestiltskin is my father and so is Charming (David). They're both going to have to share me. Rumple technically is my legal guardian. They'll both have to live with that. If one of them doesn't (*cough cough Charming*) so be it but I not changing my mind" I was proud of myself and I kept walking toward the pawn shop.
I go to turn around for a second after I heard a scream and a shout from some people and I wish I didn't.
"Maybe I really should have stayed inside the pawn shop today" I whisper to myself flabbergasted as I see what is in front of me.
It's the same giant purple cloud of smoke from my memories.
It's sweeping right over everything and everyone in Storybrooke.
I saw it sweep through Mary Margaret and David Nolan
And it came toward me at a somewhat rapid rate covering me in a cooling mist and wind.
It didn't seem to do any harm to anyone.
I shrug once it cleared and kept walking toward the Pawnshop.
I finally make it to the pawn shop and open the door and go inside before shutting the door.
I begin to make my way to the back of the shop when I feel a gust of power all over my body.
I lean on the counter for support. Laying both my hands on the counter, I close my eyes and try to calm heart rate.
To much has happened tody. I don't know what that feeling was but I don't want to know right now.
Between finding out my heritage and then finding out h=who my adopted father is and then who I am, I don't want to know what that was.
I kept my hands on the counter, with my eyes closed and breathing evenly. My heart rate calmed down.
I then lean off the counter and start walking to the back room.
I get behind the curtain when I hear the bell above the door to the shop go off.
"Ugh!" I say over dramatically. That's when I hear his voice.
"Elizabeth darling, you in here!" That's Papa's voice I wiplash my head around and practically run through the curtains.
Yup, it was definitely him!
He was looking at Belle asking if she was okay. She said yes.
He then looks up towards me and gives me a little smile.
That did it for me.
I ran toward him and practically bear-tackled him into a hug. (We did not land on the floor)
He was surprised, to say the least, from what I can tell from his hitched breath.
He moved his cane to his left hand and put his right over my shoulder pulling me into a hug.
I hug back tighter refusing to let go.
He sighed eventually "Darling you'll have to let me go you know that right" in his Scottish accent.
Me being the man baby I am whine and say"Nahuhu" hugging tighter.
He just laughs and I love the feeling of that laugh.
"Okay darling time to let go!" he says sweetly and jokingly
"mhh fine. Just one more minute Papa!" I whisper.
Rumplestiltskin POV
'Did she just call me Papa?!!?' I thought surprised. I hug here back anyway.
"Fine one more minute darling!" I say.
I look toward Belle and she is looking at me so lovingly.
God I love this woman.
God I love Elizabeth she's like my daughter to me.
Going by the fact that she did not run off toward Snow and Charming the first minute she got, I take it she still sees me as her Papa.
Papa! Gosh I haven't been called that in a lifetime.
I know she knows her parentage.
I also know she wasn't in here the whole time.
She must have got the little memories she had as a baby back.
"Time to let go now darling"
She reluctantly let's go. I grab Ella's hand and she looks me in the eyes. she looks at me with love. Even though I'm the Dark one. I'm pretty sure she doesn't know that one though.
Back to Elizabeth's POV
I reluctantly let go of my Papa.
Yes, I said it he is and always will be my Papa. No matter who he is. Idk what happened in the past back in the Enchanted Forest whatever happened I do not blame him.
Awkward silence endures
Papa coughs and finally says "Well...It's been a long day. Why don't we close the shop up early ey!"
"Sure!" I say
Papa, Belle and I go about cleaning the store up and closing up. Unfortenatly not locking the door. But the sign is flipped to closed now. Papa and I are behind the counter. I lean on his shoulder. And I swore I saw a smile for a minute
I pick my head off my head, and see him smirk "Was that I smile I saw?"
"No, whatever do you mean?"
"You know what I mean Papa?"
"Do you mean this?" and then he proceeds to tickle me.
I end up on the floor laughing-crying.
Belle went in the back a while ago to get rest.
Just Papa and I
Papa soon ask me something unexpected "Darling, why did you not go back to your biological family? I'm sure they miss you!"
I shrug and sigh a sad smile he looks at me with a knowing look.
"I'm just not sure, Papa. I mean I did just find out TODAY that I'm from a realm full of fairytales and mythical creatures. And better yet I'm one of the two children of Snow White and Prince Charming. Which to me is just weird. The Disney movie version of Snow White never had Prince Charming I thought that was Sleeping Beauty and why are you laughing"
"The fact that you compared your biological mother to a Disney movie is funny" I gave him a look "Sorry carry on dearie"
"I'm just not sure how they'll look at me, ya know"
"Is it the fact that the Evil Queen made me your adoptive father? Or the fact that I'm Rumplestiltskin and their worst enemy?"
I frown at that last one but I say "Idk anymore"
"Go to them dearie they are your family after all!?!"
"But you are also my family," I say back
He frowns confused and gives me a look to elaborate
"The curse may have been the cause of my separation from my family. But without it, I wouldn't have found the best Papa in all the realms. You were there for me through everything. I practically grew up with the most sweet person I know. I mean a little mean and cruel..."He hits my arm sarcastically at that comment, "But sweet too"
At the end of my little speech, I turn to him and he's silently crying so I give him a hug which he returns.
We pull away
"They may be my family, but you Rumplestiltskin will always be my Papa."
{Time skip - the town getting mad they are not back home, planning to take down Regina, her getting locked up}
Charming POV (Suprise)
I can't believe Emma did it. She broke the curse.
I looked over toward Snow as we began to walk toward Gold's pawn shop.
I just realized where's Elizabeth.
I stop walking and thought hard.
The curse broke so where is she?
Emma and Snow noticed I stopped walking and came back to me.
Snow asked "What's wrong?"
"The curse is broken, right?"
"Yes?!?" Emma said
I turn to Snow and say, "Then where's Elizabeth!" Snow finally got it and gasped
"Elizabeth?!?!" Snow said
"Whose Elizabeth?" Emma asked, "Was she that baby girl in my memories?"
I nod. "She's your baby sister!"
Emma looked shocked but rubbed it off.
"I have a baby sister!" Emma said.
"Yup!" Snow and I said
After a while we kept walking toward Gold's Pawnshop.
We made it there and Emma opened the door and I did not believe who was standing behind the counter with Gold.
Snow gasp.
Gold and the girl looked toward us.
silence
Gold then spoke saying "Can we help you dearie's?"
I ignored him and looked at the young woman in his company. I recognize that chin and those eyes and hair anywhere!
I then spoke in a soft but loud tone "Elizabeth!"
The young girl looked at us in shock, recognition, and fright.
Snows POV
My darling baby girl is here with HIM.
But why?!? Charming asked "Why are you here...with HIM?" in a venomous tone.
That was apparently the wrong thing to say because next thing I new Charming was up against the wall a knee to his chest along with a sword aimed right at his heart. With Elizabeth wielding the sword.
She spoke with so much venom "You..Take..That..Back"
This was such a long day.
Charming was stunned
Gold...Rumple came and pulled her back with a bit of a struggle but pulled her back a good couple of feet from Charming.
I ran and helped him up.
We both looked back toward our darling baby girl as she stared toward her father with venom in her tone but fear in her eyes.
Rumplestiltskin POV
'Stupid Charmings' I say in my head
Here I am trying to hold back my darling little girl from killing her other father. As much as I would love for her to actually do it, she would be devastated after, so second best option then.
Elizabeth POV
How dare he say that about my Papa? I'm going to tear him a new one.
I didn't think in my fit of rage as I grabbed the closet sharp object and pinned him to the wall and aimed the sword at his chest right above his heart.
I had so much anger inside me, but so much fear.
Papa got me off him before taking the sword from me and pushing me gently back toward the counter as I looked at my biological dad with venon, anger and fear.
"Geez! Definitely my temper thats for sure!"
That's it. I try to run at him but I was pulled back by Belle this time.
I was too busy staring at my biological family.
Belle then gently said to me "Go take a nap hmm? Or go meditate it will help but don't do this"
I sigh before going to the back to meditate.
Charming POV
Elizabeth went to the back of the store to do something to calm her down.
We looked toward Gold...Rumple whatever.
"Can you please tell me why you came so I can go back to calming my darling daughter down?"
Now that just shocked me
"Wait a damn minute! Daughter! She is not your daughter she is ours! Why the hell would she be your...." I did not get to finish the sentence before i got blasted back to a wall by an unknown force. I slumped down and Snow and Emma came and helped me up.
We looked in Rumple's direction but our gaze move to Elizabeth who had a fireball conjured in her hand.
Elizabeth POV
I heard yelling and went back to the main area of the shop.
'Protect Papa' was all I heard in my head, it was like I heard a voice in my head, I felt a tingle in my arms and all throughout my body as I got up and rushed back to the front of the pawn shop. I somehow summoned a ball of light 'magic' to my hands and blasted it toward Charming.
He got back up with Emma and Snow's help and every just looked flabbergasted at me.
I sigh defeated.
"Papa Imma take a walk" and turn toward the front door and don't stop to hear a response
Rumplestiltskin POV
Okay! You know what she needs fresh air. Just hope she doesn't go far.
"Now what do you need dearies"
{They explain}
[Time skip - 2 hours later]
Elizabeth POV
I was at Henry's castle.
I like it up here.
The wind blowing all around me, the world is just so calm and still up here. No worries at all.
I don’t know how much time last but it must be close to 3pm due the sun being lower.
I hear footsteps approach my sitting spot on the castle and I look up to see Henry. I proceed to stand up Henry gives me a hand and I look around and ‘yep, just as I thought my biological family is here. No wait it’s just David. Where’s Emma and Mary Margret’
I sigh and Henry must’ve noticed I noticed him.
Henry's eyes meet mine, filled with a child's earnest curiosity. "But, Elizabeth, he's your real dad."
I sigh, attempting to distill complex emotions into words suitable for a ten-year-old. "Henry, I was just a tiny baby when the curse brought me to Storybrooke. Snow White and Prince Charming are my biological parents, and I can't change that. But growing up, it was Rumplestiltskin who played the role of Papa, guiding me until I turned sixteen. They weren't there for me, curse or not. Family isn't just about blood; it's about who was there for you when you needed them."
He processes my words, and a thoughtful expression replaces the initial confusion. Finally, he wraps his arms around my legs and whispers something to David as he runs off.
Alone, I turn towards the horizon, and my thoughts spill into the quiet air.
