Caitlynn and Gold were standing close by Neal and Henry as they watched them, playing with wooden swords as then Regina came to them. "Seems like we've both been pushed to the sidelines." She spoke more to Gold.

"What are you doing here?" Gold almost snarled at her, he didn't want her close to Caitlynn.

"The real question is, what's your son doing with mine?" Regina asked to him as she looked at her son and his son.

"Oh, that. That's right. You didn't get the birth announcement, did you?" Gold pointed at his son. "That's Henry's father."

"What?" Regina asked shocked.

"Do I have to spell it out for you?" Gold had already enough of her. "Ms. Swan and my son..."

"You're Henry's grandfather?" Regina asked shocked as then she looked at Caitlynn. "Then you are his grandmother?"

"I prefer his aunt." Caitlynn told her. "He had already asked that."

"Guess that makes us family." Gold replied to Regina as she rolled with her eyes. "He's got my eyes, don't you think?"

"Hmm-mmm." Caitlynn hummed as she thought about his brown eyes and if they had a child together, if he or she also have brown eyes. Caitlynn shook her head, she didn't want to think about that already.

"You did this." Regina snarled at Gold.

"Trust me, dearie, it was as much a shock to me as it is to you." Gold told her.

"No. You must have known." Regina rattled about. "When I adopted him, it was you who procured him for me. You expect me to believe that that was a coincidence?"

"No, not coincidence. Fate." Gold said to her as he raised an eyebrow. "And apparently, fate has a sense of humor."

"Fate. So you're playing the part of the loving grandpa now?" Regina told him. "They won't accept you, no matter what you do. Not your son, not any of them."

"Yeah, we'll see." Gold disbelieved her.

"I've already seen, Gold." Regina further told him. "I've seen your dark heart, and it always wins out. You always choose darkness."

"You know, you think you know me, dearie." Gold looked at her. "But you don't."

"I know you well enough." Regina told him. "If your own son couldn't bring out the good in you, who will?" Then she stormed off.

Then they looked at each other as they both grinned, before walking to his shop. Letting the boys play with theirs wooded swords.

Later they were in Golds shop, Caitlynn sat on a chair as then Gold walked to her. "Now, I think it's time for you to learn straw into gold."

Caitlynn looked at Gold. "Okay, great." She smiled at him.

Gold motion her to stand up and she did as they walked to the spinning wheel. When they were there, Gold motion her to sit as there was straw laying by it and wrapped on it. "Remember magic is emotion." Gold told her.

"I know." Caitlynn told him as she tried to spin it into gold, but it wouldn't. "It doesn't work." She looked at Gold.

"It will work, concentrate and believe in yourself." Gold said to her.

Caitlynn nodded to him as she tries again and this time it worked. "It worked." She said surprised.

"As I had said before, you are a talented girl." Gold told her, happily.
