Part 3

The bell ringed as the Dark One entered Granny's with his lover by his side, their aura setting the mood for everyone as the stepped over the threshold.

"What is it, what's wrong?" Robin asked frantically.

"Well we found a way, but it could turn her dark again she won't know love at all. She will be the Evil Queen again." Belle said softly.

"But she has all the family in the world now we need to have hope for her to return to us," Snow said, receiving a few eye rolls from people in the diner.

"Yes, we can get her back we just have to try hard enough," Emma spoke this time with a nod of the head. "She has a son and a boyfriend. She finally gotten what she was after all along." Emma looked over at Henry as she heard his audible cries, holding onto Regina on the floor.

"Well let's get started," David said standing up grabbing the crystal. He handed it to Rumple, expecting him to do something to bring her back right then.

"No, not yet I need to get everything ready. Give me two days to prepare everything I need," Rumple said as he looked at everyone around the room.

"Do you know this is going to work?" Robin asked unsurely.

"Yes, it should. Regina is easy to figure out if you know her good enough. Just give me some time to figure a couple things out." He said matter of factly. Everyone nodded and agreed, the bell rang as people began filing out of the diner to go back to their homes to prepare themselves for the Evil Queen coming to town.

Zelena went back to her old farmhouse with her baby fast asleep in her arms. She shut the door behind her with a tired sigh as she pushed the blanket away from the child's face and smiles. "You are so beautiful." She hums as she took her into the kitchen and fed her and then laid her down in her bassinet. "Goodnight my little monkey, have sweet dreams." She said softly to her baby before she steps away. She changed into some green silk pajamas and laid down to sleep, smiling hearing her daughters sweet little noises before she finally fell to sleep.

Zelena woke up the next morning with sunlight beaming through her window. She frowns and slowly sat up as she looked at the time on the clock before she leapt out of bed and over to the bassinet, seeing her baby not moving and a slight shade of blue.

"Oh no oh no my baby not you too," Zelena cried out. She checked to see if she was breathing or if she had a rhythm, she didn't have either. Zelena's eyes went wide as she picked up her child and flicked her wrist sending them to the hospital in a puff of green smoke.

She appeared right in front of the receptionist desk, startling the receptionist. "please my baby she's not breathing and she doesn't have a pulse help her please!" Zelena begged as tears fell down her face holding her child against her chest. The receptionist picked up the phone.

Moments later Whale came bursting through the door taking Zelena's baby then left without even saying a word to the witch. "oh god what did I do" Zelena cried. She took out her phone and called Robin.

"Robin I don't know what i did I'm sorry come to the hospital I'm sorry I didn't mean to do what I did please come," she begged into the phone hanging up before she even got a response. Zelena slid down the wall, dropping her phone as she sobbed, waiting on Robin to get there.

"What happened!" Robin yelled running over to Zelena fear spread across his face. Zelena stood up tears staining her face.

"I don't know... the baby... I laid her down last night and she didn't cry once. I woke up and she wasn't breathing or anything. I don't know what I did, what did I do!" Zelena cried into her hands. Robin stood back with a dumbfounded look on his face.

"Where is she?" He sighs running a hand through his hair trying to hide his worry.

"With Whale he came and got her without telling me anything," Zelena shook her head wiping her eyes trying to stop the flow of tears.

Finally after some time Whale came out causing the parents to stand up. "I'm sorry, I couldn't do anything. She died of SIDS, or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. There is nothing to detect it or to stop it I'm so sorry," Whale sighed as he looked at the two parents. Zelena just stood in shock, she had no one to go to, no one. She had no sister no baby nothing.

"Aunt Zelena..." Henry said walking over to her. "We will get Mom back and you will be together, but for now you have Robin and I okay. You can come to mom's house with us so I can help you," Henry smiles slightly getting a nod out of Zelena.

Zelena let Henry lead her to the car where he drove them all to Regina's house. "Come in I'll show you where you can sleep, but once she comes and she's evil we have to hide at your place until Rumple does what he has to do." Zelena nods her head in understandment and gave her nephew a slight hug.

"Thank you Henry, your mother would be so proud by how your acting," Zelena said cupping Henry's cheek with a soft smile.
