Triple + One (FINISHED)

Grief

Regina and the kids walked inside the mansion and, the kids immediately going to their rooms while Regina went in search for her wife.

"Emma?"

"In here", her wife's voice sounded from the living room and Regina walked inside only to stop short when she saw Emma sitting in the couch with a fox in her arms. And it wasn't Todd.

"He's back Gina", Emma said with tears in her eyes, a big smile on her face and Regina stood eyeing the fox with eyes full of disbelief, tears forming.

"He's... he's alive", she whispered and Emma nodded standing from the couch walking closer to her wife.

"He is sweetie. He's alive"

Regina looked down at the fox and she wanted nothing more than to just take him into her arms, hugging him for dear life. But she knew she couldn't. She had to know how her son had come back to life after seventeen years.

"How?"

Emma looked down at Crevan who looked back up at her and before Emma could answer, they both heard their son's voice.

"Moms? Where is he? I wanna talk to Crevan", Crevan said, the fox in Emma's arms immediately looking at the door, not recognizing the voice. A second later Crevan ran inside and Emma and Regina stood still as their son took in their other son, both figures titling their heads to the side in confusion.

"Who's that?", Crevan asked and the fox moved his head closer to the boy, Emma stepped closer as well so he could reach. Immediately knowing what the fox wanted, Crevan bowed and let their noses touch, a smile appearing on the boy's face. Emma and Regina couldn't stop the smiles on their faces as they watched the action and Emma stepped closer to her son, giving Crevan the fox, the boy immediately putting his arms around him.

"Hey bud. It's nice to finally meet you", Crevan said with a big smile and the fox brought their noses together, making Crevan chuckle kissing the fox's head. "You're alright bud"

"How is he back?", Regina asked once more and Emma sighed.

"Gold woke him up. He said he used some dark old magic for it", she explained and Crevan furrowed his eyebrows.

"Gold? Ian's dad?"

The two mothers turned to their son and Emma nodded, making Crevan sigh. "Does Ian know?"

"No. Not even Belle. As far as we know, Gold has been here for almost three months without showing much of himself", Regina explained and Emma nodded turning to her youngest son of the two of them.

"Crevan I need you to promise me not to tell Ian about his father being here, okay?", Emma ordered him and Crevan groaned, almost pouted at his mother.

"Maaaaaa. You know how bad I am at lying"

"Don't pout Crevan. You will not be lying. You just won't say anything", Regina said and Crevan sighed and turned to the fox in his arms, who licked his face making him frown.

"Ew"
————————————————
Ian walked inside his home and could instantly hear voices. He furrowed his eyebrows walking further inside and was immediately met by his mother and Robert in the living room.

"Mom"

The two adults turned and Belle quickly stood from the couch, walking over to her son. "Ian there's someone I would like you to meet", she said and Ian frowned at her before turning to Robert as he walked closer to them.

"This is Rumble. Your father"

Silence filled the room, Ian eyeing Rumble with a frown before stepping in front of his mother looking at his father deadly in the eye.
