Wish

Chapter 10 Wish

WHook gently holds Killian's hand shaking it. "It's nice to..... meet you," Killian said awkwardly. "I think I know you pretty well," WHook nodded. Molly smiled up at her Papa. 

WHook looked at Regina, with a gentle and peaceful expression on his face, "Sorry, I just haven't seen her in a long time," He said. "It's alright," She smiled warmly at him. "Clearly the love she had for Molly transcended realms," he said.

"I believe that's true," Regina nodded. "And now they'll have a Molly," Molly said. WHook tilted his head, "Ah, expecting?" He asked. Killian nodded. "Well congratulations," He smiled. 

"You'll do better than you think," WHook promised his other version. "He's pretty good so far," Molly agreed.

"Are we going home Papa?" Molly asked. "Well, I think we have to love," he said gently. Killian wrapped his arm around Regina, and they looked at Molly warmly. 

"It's not goodbye," Regina assured her. "It's not?" Molly asked. "No, love is the most powerful magic of all, and you saw it more than once, so it's never really goodbye," Regina said. 

The next day, the town gathered at the docks to say farewell to the second Jolly Roger and it's Captain, and Molly. 

"Henry," Regina said. "Here Molly," Henry stepped forward handing her a box. Opening it, she found, "A mirror." She said. 

"Yes, and that mirror, is enchanted," Regina said. "You can see me anytime you want," Regina said. Molly smiled, and hugged Regina tightly. 

"You may want to check that front mast," Killian said. "Are you critiquing my ship?" WHook rose his brow. "Well it's got a tear there," Killian pointed. "Hmmm, are my eyes aging?" WHook quirked.

Molly giggled. 

Molly looked up to Killian, "I am happy you gave me a little taste of fatherhood, don't give your Papa more wrinkles," Killian said with a chuckle. Molly smiled and hugged him tightly. "Thank you for saving me," Molly said.

"He would have done it," Killian promised. 

Molly sighed and stepped onto the gangplank next to her father, and they waved to the people of Storybrooke. 

Molly and WHook returned to their realm, and Storybrooke life moved onward. 

Regina displayed a rounded bump of her and Killian's baby, and it was drawing nearer to the day she would arrive. 

Needless to say, Mary Margaret was driving Regina a little bananas about the planning for the baby's arrival. Zelena was even going a bit overboard getting things for her future niece. 

"Ok we can't have any more stuff you guys," Regina objected as the group placed down more toys and things. 

"What's this for?" Killian picked up an awkward device. "That's a breast pump," Regina informed him. "Come again?" His eyes grew ten sizes. "It gets the milk out when she's sleeping, just give me that dear," Regina sighed. 

"Mmm, Ah!!" Regina gasped awake in the night, "Oh Killian.... the baby..." She groaned. "Mm, good thing my Captain ways I slept in my clothes this week, let's go," He helped her up. 

Even at 3 am, the entire town still was in on the birth of the new arrival.

"Will you stop clanging those coins in your pocket you're driving me mad!" Zelena snapped at David as he paced around. "Sorry just difficult to wait out here," David said.

Killian came through the double doors, "Well?" Henry rushes to him, "You have a little sister," Killian pats his shoulder. 

Regina holds the tiny baby against her, "I think Molly seems appropriate right?" Regina asks. "I agree, nice to meet you," Killian says gently. 

"What are you thinking?" Killian asks gently holding his daughter. "You saw that flicker when she came didn't you?" Regina asked. "I thought it was just you being powerful," He smiled. "It was more," Regina nodded. 

Each version of Regina had the ability to endlessly love. Regina had multiple true loves. Her Wish Version had Killian and Molly, and her Storybrooke, Henry and Killian and now Molly. 

Regina had the tangible capacity to love deeply, and that was powerful and could be transcended in magical ways. 

With the arrival of their daughter, Regina devised her most powerful and most important spell of all. 

Molly receives a bottle, "look Papa, it's from them, the baby came, another me," Molly smiled. "Just what the world needs," he teases cutely. 

The ship shakes a moment as a light washes over the entire realm. "What was that Papa?" Molly worries. "I'm not sure," he says. 

Looking into the distance, through each of their own telescopes. "Those trees weren't there before," he said. "I know those trees!" Molly says joyfully. 

"Hold on lass, what?" He stops her, "These are the trees from the edge of Storybrooke," Molly tells him. "You're sure?" He asks. "Yes Papa, I'm sure," she assures. 

"Alright, let's get on the ship and see if we get there," he said.

Sure enough, the Jolly Roger was able to dock next to the matching Jolly Roger once more at the Storybrooke dock. "Curious, how is this possible?" WHook wondered. 

"I thought you would get here," Regina said from the docks as Molly skips off the ship. "Regina!" she runs to her arms. 

Henry hugs Molly in greetings, and Killian waltzes next to Regina holding a tiny baby. 

"I remember those days," WHook comes forward, smiling at the infant, "She's perfect," he said. "Hello," Molly smiles and leans up kissing Killian's cheek.

"What happened?" Molly asked. "Well, I discovered a curse that isn't really a curse, using the power of true love, I broke the barriers and united the realms," Regina said. 

"Pretty powerful," Killian praised. 

"Now everything is connected?" Molly asked. "Yes. I think that Molly means wished for for a reason. Your mother, as well as me are two in the same in many ways, and you and this Molly existing enabled us to wish for what we always wanted," Regina said. 

"So now we can sort of be a family," Molly said. "Two Molly's I guess are better than one," WHook said. "You always said you wanted another," Molly said.

"Did I? I don't know about that," WHook teased. "Papa!" Molly hopped cutely. "See what you have to look forward to?" WHook winked. 

Per habit, the town gathered at Granny's. 

"Thank you Regina," Molly said. Regina smiled. 

While Regina may not have given birth to first Molly, the connection was still there and Regina's instincts would always treat her maternally which was something Molly loved to have. 

With the realms united, they could be close by, she could call on Regina whenever she needed and that was all she asked for, and Molly had her second chance to at least have some form of her mother in her life. 

Killian held his infant daughter in his arm, as his other version looked over the baby, "You'll appreciate rum when teething begins," WHook mentioned.

"For me or her?" Killian asked. "Both," WHook chuckled. "Speaking of, am I old enough for rum now?" Molly asked.

"NO!" both Hook's said together. "Wow, now I have two of those?" Molly sighed. 

The End
