A few days later. At Granny's.

Henry walked over to me and Hook who were sitting across from each other in a booth

Henry walked over to me and Hook who were sitting across from each other in a booth.

He sat down next to me "just finished signing in the last of the newcomers. I had everyone write down who they were traveling with so we can add up who's still out there"

He showed Killian the book who opened it.

i nodded, impressed.

Killian "clever boy"

Suddenly Ashley (Cinderella) walked in with her little girl in her arms "Echo, hi!"

I smiled "hey, Ashley. hey, Alexandra. how are you, sweetie? you wanna come sit with us?"

Ash shook her head smiling "oh, no, thank you. Thomas is just getting us some food to go, and i don't want to take up your time. I know you're busy, but with all these new people, i just- i thought that i should help somehow, and since i'm running the daycare, i figured why not offer them free babysitting. Anyway, i was hoping to maybe get a look at that list just to see who brought kids"

Hook turned the book to her"Well, if you can understand these scribbles, then be our guest"

Ashley nodded and looked at it"okay, thank you"

Henry "someone new."

Then he jumped up and walked to the girl.

I stood up and walked to the counter "can i get water, please?"

She nodded and handed me a glass of water.

I looked at Hook who was entertaining Alexandra. He put some whipped cream on the top of his noise and made some funny face which made her giggle.

I smiled at them.

He's so cute.

I sighed.


At Emma's place.

I walked inside and she looked at me surprised.

Emma "Echo, hey, what's wrong?"

Me "do you have a minute? or five? maybe more?"

She nodded and sat down on the couch "of course. You wanna talk about Regina?"

I shook my head "i don't wanna talk about her"

Emma "but you want to talk something. Or else you wouldn't be here. That's good-that's progress. Go ahead"

Me "you know that i'm not a jealous person"

Emma shot me a look.

Me "you know i can keep my jealousy under control"

Emma shot me another look.

I sighed "most of the times. but seeing Ashley today with her perfectly happy family .."
