"I don't care what it looks like as long as it keeps Regina and her skeleton keys out," Mary Margaret said.

"And it will," Katy turned to August, "Right, August?" Katy said.

"You have my word," August said.

"This is pretty handy for a writer, where'd you learn to do all this?" Emma asked.

"Woodshop. Eighth grade," August said.

"Oh! Speaking of school. Have to get going," Mary Margaret said.

"Uh, are you sure you're ready to go back?" Katy asked.

Mary Margaret laughed softly, "After a stint behind bars? How tough can a room full of fourth-graders be? Besides, isn't your sister the one we need to be worried about?" Mary Margaret said as she looked at Elaine.

"Me? Why?" Elaine asked.

"Well. You did threaten to take Henry and Julia away from Regina," August said.

"Oh, that wasn't a threat. I'm hiring Mr Gold to help build a case against her," Elaine said and she, Katy and Emma saw August and Mary Margaret share a look.

"She tried to have you framed for murder!" Emma said.

"But... You do know what happens if you win Elaine, right?" Mary Margaret said.

"Yeah," Elaine said.

"And you're ready? To be their mom?" Mary Margaret asked.

Elaine smiled softly, "Yeah, I am," Elaine said.

Elaine smiled softly, "Yeah, I am," Elaine said
