Finding You Always

Chapter 47: True Love

"Henry!" Emma cried, as she ran to her son and cradled his head, as Eva knelt beside her.

"I...I don't think he's breathing!" Emma panicked. Eva put her ear to his chest.

"No...it's extremely faint, but he has a heartbeat," she said.

"I think I know why," Leo said, as he pointed at the spinning wheel nearby.

"Oh no..." Eva said, as she started checking him over.

"A spinning wheel?" Emma asked, her mind muddled with worry. Her brother gave her a pointed look.

"The story of Maleficent...the spinning wheel," he prompted.

"There's a needle mark on his arm," Eva confirmed, as she lifted the sleeve of his shirt.

"A sleeping curse," Emma deduced.

"I'm not sure I can wake him up...but you can," Eva said.

"She's right. We love him, but there's no truer love than that between a parent and a child," Leo added. Emma took a deep breath and brushed her son's hair away from his forehead.

"Emma...it's okay," Eva soothed.

"I know...it's just sometimes I'm still not used to people believing in me," she confessed. The twins smiled.

"Well, you should get used it already," Leo added playfully.

"Yeah...true love runs pretty thick in this family," Eva added.

"Dad broke the sleeping curse on Mom and you broke the curse when Mom and Dad kissed you eighteen years ago. Now you'll do it again, because Eva and I believe in you. Mom and Dad believe in you. Summer believes in you...and most importantly, Henry believes in you," Leo said passionately. A couple tears cascaded down Emma's cheeks.

"I love you Henry," she whispered, as she kissed his forehead. A wave of multi-colored magic erupted from the kiss and Henry took a strangled breath of air. Emma smiled, as he smiled up at her.

"You saved me...I knew you would. I love you too, Mom," he said, as she hugged him tightly.

"Come on. We should find Mom and Dad. Hopefully they found Summer," Leo said.

"What happened to Summer?" Henry asked.

"Someone kidnapped her too, but I'm sure Mom and Dad found her," Emma assured.

"It is what this family does," Eva agreed, as they called up to Belle, who operated the elevator and brought them up.

"I'm so glad you're okay, Henry, but I need to take care of something," Belle said hurriedly, as she left quickly.

"Wonder what that's about?"Leo wondered.

"Who knows. Let's go," Emma said, as they came out of the library.

"Mom! Dad!" Emma called, as she saw them hurrying toward the square with Thomas, Robin, and the dwarves behind them.

"Emma...oh thank goodness, you found Henry too," Snow said, as she hugged them both.

"I'm okay Grams...Mom woke me up from a sleeping curse!" Henry announced proudly.

"A sleeping curse?" David exclaimed.

"Yeah...apparently Maleficent was trapped in her dragon for beneath the library and now that time is moving again, so was she. Someone put Henry down there with her," Emma explained.
