One Big Happy Family?

The Truth In Oz

When we last left our favorite family, they had just vanished in front of Sherlock and John, headed for Oz. What they didn't expect to happen was being picked up by a tornado. The winds of it were so strong as it spun the car around and around so much that none of the magic wielders could concentrate long enough to wave their hand and stop spinning. Cora started screaming, "I'm too young to die!!! PLEASE NO!!!" Henry and Fiona looked at each other, "But you're old..." They said at the same time, earning a glare from the crazy old bat. As the car started spinning faster, everyone began screaming, "I just want you all to know something before we die! Dad, I accidentally killed your pet turtle and I cooked him and fed him to you guys for dinner!" Emma screamed. Suddenly the car stopped spinning, "Not Speedy!!!" Charming cried out. "Wait! We stopped spinning!" Rumple said as he looked out the window to see them suspended in the air, only to begin falling. The screaming resumed but Fiona held up her hands and closed her eyes, creating a big green bubble around them, safely landing them on the yellow brick road. As soon as the tires hit the concrete, everyone jumped out of the car, Hook kissed the ground, "I'll never leave my precious floor again! Nice try Davey Jones!! You won't get this pirate!" Charming and Snow hugged before Charming crossed his arms, "So you killed Speedy?" He asked his daughter, who gave him a hesitant smile. "He was in the driveway when I was backing up and I sort of accidentally hit him." Cora thumped Emma on the forehead, "Don't ever feed me roadkill again, princess. Or roasted swan will be on the menu." Rumple held Belle and Neal in his arms, "I'm so glad you both are okay." He kissed his wife. "Look, we're in Oz!" Belle said happily as she pointed to the Emerald City. "I can't wait to get my hands on their library, there's so much to read!" She squealed with happiness and Rumple smiled as he watched the love of his life. "Well while you two do that, the rest of us will be exploring. Have fun!" Cora said with a smile as Belle grabbed Rumple's hand and pulled him toward Emerald City. "Shall we get going then?" Hook asked and Regina nodded. "Yes. Mother, lead the way." Cora began walking and the rest followed, "Something tells me we're going to get more than we bargained for by coming here." Emma confessed to Snow as they walked.

As they walked, Hook began singing, "Follow the yellow brick road..." Then Snow and Henry joined in, "Follow the yellow brick road..." Regina growled, "If you continue singing, I will be forced to shove a silver slipper where the sun doesn't shine." The trio gulped then Cora laughed, "Follow follow follow follow the yellow brick road Gina." Regina poofed up a silver slipper and just as she was about to throw it, a cloud of green smoke appeared in front of them. "Oh shit..." Cora murmured. Regina frowned, "And who the hell is that?" A woman with green skin, dressed in black with auburn hair stepped toward them, "I'm Zelena. And hello to you too mother." Everyone's mouths except Cora's dropped, "Mother? Is she talking to Cora?" Snow asked to no one in particular. "Yes, Cora is my mother. I see you brought the family along." Cora shook her head, "What do you want Zelena?" Zelena grinned, "Why, to see my mother for the first time in my life. Allow her to meet her BETTER daughter..." Regina scoffed, "Bitch please, as green as you are, I'm surprised you aren't off trying to catch flies with your tongue, toad." Emma and Neal started oohing while Charming snapped his fingers in the shape of a "z" Zelena stepped toward Regina, "You get her Gina! That's my daughter! Sassy ass!" Regina began laughing, "Someone get the grinch away from me and my children." Zelena furrowed her brow, "Children?" Snow grabbed Charming's sword, "Yes! Now back away!" She yelled as she pointed it at Zelena who began cackling. "Nice reflexes Snow." Regina complimented. "Why don't you find someone else to harass. You're clearly not a part of this family, no matter the blood relation." Fiona looked up from her phone and Zelena fell speechless, "Is...is that my daughter?" Cora started screaming, "I KNEW IT!!! Goddamnit! I knew she looked familiar! SHIT!" Fiona's eyes widened, "Excuse me?" Zelena smiled, "It is you...I left you on their porch in a basket a while back. I had to get you out of here, Oz was much too dangerous then." Regina frowned, "So all this time she was your daughter?" Hook stood behind Emma and Neal, "This is some Maury-type shit. DNA test says, you are NOT the mother." Emma joked, causing the guys to laugh but Cora didn't find it funny. She zapped Emma, Neal and Hook's mouths shut so that they couldn't speak. While they ran around trying to scream, though it sounded muffled, Fiona and Zelena just stared at each other. "You could've left us a note, you know." Cora indicated. "I wanted to but I was truly in a hu- YOU DIDN'T LEAVE A NOTE WHEN YOU LEFT ME!" Zelena sobbed. "Can we not do this right now? Is there anywhere we could go and calmly talk this out?" Regina snapped and Henry, Charming and Snow tried to help the three stooges calm down. "Yes, we can go to my castle. Follow me." Zelena instructed and they all followed her.

They came across a huge castle, "Mine's better." Regina pointed out and Cora smirked. "Feeling a bit jealous that you may have to compete for mommy's love Regina?" Regina glared at her mother, ignoring her sneer comment. "This way, we can sit in here and talk." Zelena led them into her living room. She flicked her hand at the fireplace, causing a green fire to start. "Wow! A green fire!" Henry exclaimed and Regina scoffed, "Not so special..." Everyone sat, Charming and Snow still keeping Hook, Emma and Neal under control. "So I'm your daughter?" Fiona asked Zelena, who nodded. "But I'm not...you know....green." Fiona added and Regina smirked. "My green skin isn't contagious dear. Don't worry about all that. Just know that you are my daughter, your father isn't alive but he loved your dearly." Fiona looked down, "Speaking of fathers," Regina began, "who is your father?" Zelena frowned, "Good question. Mother, who is my father?" Cora stammered, "To be honest with you honey, I don't know who your father is. I was a complete freak back in the day..." Emma's eyes widened, it looked as if she was trying to puke but since she couldn't open her mouth, nothing was coming out. Henry's face fell and Regina nearly fainted, "That's not something I nor my son wanted to hear MOTHER." Cora shrugged, "Hey, at least I'm begin honest." Zelena wanted to say something but she just shook it off, "That's fine. It doesn't matter. I have the family I wanted." Regina interjected, "I'm sorry but we aren't family." Zelena frowned, "I didn't mean you baboons! I meant my perfect little daughter." Cora shook her head, "To be fair, we raised her, endured every tantrum and trust me there were plenty, so where do you get off calling her your daughter? Because I certainly don't claim you as mine, I didn't raise you." Charming snapped his fingers again in a "z" while the three stooges went "ooooh" again. Zelena sighed, "I'm not taking credit for you raising her but I want to continue raising her. That is, if you want to stay here with me." Fiona looked at Regina, "Mom, can I stay?" Regina sighed and put on a smile, "If that's what you want, who I am to deny you your happiness?" Fiona hugged her, "So all that work for nothing?! One of you better have another one that won't be taken away after all our hard work. As soon as we get home, the baby making WILL COMMENCE!" Cora shouted. Hook and Neal looked at each other and then back at Cora, who folded her arms and narrowed her eyes, looking between Emma, Regina, Hook, Neal, Charming and Snow. Henry covered his ears, "La la la la Elmo's World!"

"We will have that discussion at a later date." Regina scolded then turned to Fiona, grabbing both her hands and holding them in hers, "I'm going to miss you sweetheart and you will always be my daughter and you can call me anytime for anything. Here," she held out her hand, making a watch appear. "Anytime you want to talk to me, think of me and I'll appear on this screen. I love you." She kissed her forehead as Fiona took the watch, eyes glossed with tears. Regina excused herself, needing some fresh air. Fiona hugged her three other parents, "We'll miss you munchkin!" Emma muffled through Cora's magic. Then Snow, Henry and Charming joined in, everyone started sobbing. "Oh please, let's not get carried away." Zelena huffed. "Alright alright, we have other places to be so let's get a move on." Cora said, pulling Fiona into her arms. "My first granddaughter, I love you even though you were crazy as bat shit. Nana loves you dearly. Be good for Greenie okay?" Cora caressed Fiona's cheek and Fiona nodded as the tears streamed down her cheek. "We'll all miss you sis...I love you." Henry waved goodbye as they all walked outside. Fiona started crying but Zelena was there to comfort her. Charming closed the door behind Henry while Cora and Snow comforted Regina who was crying herself. "I'm alright...Let's just go." Regina sniffled and began walking from the group. Everyone stayed where they were except Henry who chased after his mother. He ran in front of her and stopped her, earning a frown. "Henry wha-" She was interrupted by his hug, he wrapped his arms tightly around her and she couldn't do anything but return the hug, each resting in the other's embrace. The gang awe'd as they watched and Snow took a picture. "If you all are done with this Hallmark moment, there is one place we need to go really quick and then we can leave." Cora interjected. Regina looked up, still holding Henry, "And where is that?" Cora smirked, "Oz's place..." Neal's eyes widened as he shook his head, "I think Neal's trying to tell us something." Charming pointed out and Cora snapped her fingers, allowing the three to speak once again. "NO! That guy is evil! I don't want to go! Mommy please don't make me gooo! I want Papa..." Neal fell to the ground and started rocking himself back and forth in the fetal position. Regina covered Henry's eyes, "And this is the example Henry has to follow?" She snapped. Cora laughed, "We are ALL going, whether you want to or not." Emma shook her head at Neal, "What if we don't-" Cora narrowed her eyes, "We're all going, blondie." Snow rubbed Neal's shoulder, "It'll be okay Neal." Hook helped him up, "Aye mate and don't worry, I'm scared too but if you ever touch my floor like that again, I'll be forced to use my hook." He said through his teeth. Cora led the way as the gang trembled behind her.
