14 Years Later

"Yes exactly like that!" I cheer excitedly to Kayla.

Kayla raises her hand into the air as an apple is slowly risen above the trees. She smiles but holds concentration on the floating item.

It's been so long since I was able to teach Kayla magic, I keep getting put on babysitting duty for Emma's baby, Oliver David Jones. That little brat never shuts up.

"Okay now turn it to flames" I smile at Kayla.

She snaps her fingers as the small apple lights up with yellow and red flames. It turns to dust as the flames distinguished.

"I did it!" Kayla cheers running over to me.

"You did!" I smile hugging her.

"Now can you teach me how to throw a fire ball" she pleads.

"Not yet little one, you need to grow on your strengths first" I smile at her.

"Mom I'm 13 now, I think I can handle it" Kayla sighs.

"Maybe on your birthday I'll teach you" I smile.

"But that's so far away" Kayla gives out a breath.

"Yes, but it's hard, I need to wait till your ready" I smile.

A ringing noise gets sent through the air as Kayla reaches into her back pocket and pulls out her phone.

"I still can't believe your big brother gave that to you" I sigh.

"Mom it's the new thing, and beside, he owed it to me" she smiles.

I roll my eyes as she hits answer.

"Hi Emma" Kayla smiles. "Of course I'll babysit! You know how much I love Oliver and Sunny!"

I roll my eyes at her. It feels like Emma calls every second of every hour. You think Neal could do it. But no, a 15 year old boy doesn't like watching over two small children.

Kayla hangs up and looks at me.

"Duty calls" she smiles as she skips down the road to town.

I follow her and see she makes it safely to Hook and Emma's house before I turn away and head home myself.

"Thanks once again Kayla" I smile at her.

"Anytime" she smiles back taking Oliver from my hands.

I turn to Hook and nod as we make our way out the door. I look back and see Kayla putting Oliver in his car seat and pick up a Barbie to play with Sunny. I smile and close the door and walk down the drive way. I was so happy when we moved out of my parents apartment, it was too crammed. now, we live in this house near the centre of Storybrooke.

We walk to the town line where all the dwarfs are standing covering any view of what's at the line.

"What's up?" I ask turning to Belle.

"It looks like someone wants back in" she says as I pass through the dwarfs.

"HELP!" the man screams.

He holds a child in his hands, a small child and doesn't looked aged at all since the last time I saw him.

"HELP PLEASE! HES DIEING! I NEED MAGIC!" the man screams again.

"Is that-"

"Robin Hood. Yes" Mary Margret says coming up beside me.

"That's not possible" I retort.
