Finding You Always

Born to Be Yours

Chapter 139: Born to Be Yours

Snow pulled back from hugging Emma to cradled her daughter's face.

"You did it..." Snow said proudly. Emma smiled.

"I'd say you and dad were right there with me," she countered. David smiled and cradled her head.

"And we always will be," he promised, as he shared another look with Snow that spoke the way words never would.

"I'm sorry...I got really angry and Eva stopped me from doing something really stupid," Leo apologized.

"What are you talking about, honey?" Snow asked.

"I kind of stormed out to Zelena's farmhouse and tried to get Jekyll to come out and was threatening him. I just...got so angry after the Queen came to see me at the reserve," he confessed.

"She came to see you?" Snow asked in concern.

"I was playing right into her hands too. I wanted revenge...and I know that's not our way. I'm sorry," he said, as she hugged him.

"Oh baby...I know, I'm so sorry you got hurt again. You don't know how much I wish I could make it all better," Snow replied tearfully.

"Me too...but promise us you won't do that again. We don't know what kinds of things Jekyll might try. He's insane," David said sternly. Leo nodded.

"I know," he agreed.

"Uh...hey bro, what's with the snake?" Emma asked, as the cobra in the cage hissed at all of them.

"Oh yeah...I almost forgot. This is...the Queen," he revealed.

"What?" Emma asked in amusement.

"Bloody hell..." Killian agreed.

"Yeah...Chad showed up at the reserve too and I think this was his way of apologizing. She was trying to get me to act on my revenge and he got mad. Said it was time someone gave her what she deserved," he explained. The cobra hissed, as Regina peered into the cage with amusement.

"Well...I'm still mad at him for hurting you, but I have to say, this is very fitting," she said smugly.

"You're not bringing it home, are you?" Eva asked with a sour look on her face.

"I'm not really sure what else to do with her. We probably should keep her close," Leo replied. Regina waved her magic over the cage.

"It should be safe to bring her home now. I protected the cage with magic. She can't get out," Regina promised. Snow wrinkled her nose.

"Okay...just keep her in your room," she said, not liking the idea much. David put his arm around her and kissed her hair.

"I think home is where we all need to be. It's been a really long night," he mentioned. They all agreed and knew that this was just one battle in the war. David especially remembered Rumple's warning that there would be a final battle and he could almost feel it stirring in him, as he felt it was almost upon them. Snow looked at him, as if sensing the same thing in him and he gave her a reassuring smile. They knew facing this darkness would be anything but easy and they had much to figure out. But as always, they were confident in the power of their love.

Jekyll watched the battle through one of his well placed spying devices on a screen in his lab with bated breath. Things had not been going his way again. First he learned that his ally in the Queen was null since she had been transformed into a snake of all things, though even he admitted that it was fitting. He had seethed as that brat had stood outside the house, taunting him. Just like his tactless father, that one.
