A Story That Will Never Die {Henry Mills/OUAT} [2]

New York City Serenade

{The past, one year ago}

When the purple clouds disappeared, we all looked around. We were certainly back, that's for sure. I looked down and saw that I was in the clothes I was in before the curse. Of course the blood was still there too. I'm gonna miss my jeans, and my Kit Kats, and a lot of other things. I looked forward and saw Aurora and who I assumed to be Philip. The two of them looked very surprised to see all of us.

"Snow? Aria? What happened?" Aurora asked us.

I sighed, "We're back."

{A year later}

Henry and I were sitting on each side of the couch, watching TV. Emma was out on her date with her boyfriend Walsh. I certainly didn't trust the guy, but I didn't say anything about it. While we were watching the TV, I felt something hit me. I picked up what hit me and saw it was popcorn. I turned to Henry who was acting like nothing had happened, what I did next was predictable. I threw some popcorn back at him. I turned back to the TV like nothing happened with a small smirk on my face.

"Aria, did you hit me with the popcorn?" Henry asked me.

"Maybe I did and maybe I didn't," I replied turning to look at him. "Did you?"

"Maybe I did and maybe I didn't." Henry said copying my reply from before.  I grabbed the remote and turned off the TV making Henry turn to face me. "Let's make a bet. I bet 10 dollars that Emma didn't say anything when Walsh asked."

"I bet you 10 dollars that mom did." Henry said.

"I guess we'll just have to see then." I stated.

"How've things been since we left? The Ogres?" Mary-Margret asked Aurora. Most of us were standing in the gazebo and talking while the others were a little ways away from us. I was leaning against one of the pillars and was just listening to the conversation.

"Defeated," Aurora replied. Aurora looked over at Philip with a smile, "We're restoring our kingdom and our lives."

Mary-Margret nodded towards Aurora's stomach smiling, "And congratulations."

Aurora laughed a little asking, "Is it that obvious?"

"You are glowing." Mary-Margret replied. I leaned a little to look for myself and found that she indeed was pregnant. I don't see how I missed it before, but oh, well.
