Everything isn't the same

Chapter 2 - A Tale of Two sisters

The next day, Gold and Caitlynn were in his car for the graveyard, before they went on their honeymoon, they went there to say goodbye to Neal/Baelfire as Caitlynn reassured him. "Hey. It's okay. You can do this." She grabbed his hand. "And I will always be next you, my love."

Then they stepped out of the car and waked to Neal's gravestone.

"My boy." Gold began. "Remember when you were small? There was a night, during the Ogres War, there was terrible noise, the horses' hooves thundering down the dusty path. You crawled into my bed and I can still hear your little voice, 'Papa, I'm afraid.'" He sniffled as Caitlynn grabbed his hand in comfort. "And, I guess by instinct, I just said, 'Don't you worry, son. Everything's going to be fine.' And you smiled at me. You know, that was the happiest moment in my life. Because, for the first time ever, I felt like a man. That I could truly look after you, alone." He pulled the dagger out his inside pocket suit. "Until I discovered this. And it turned me into a monster. Obsessed with power, when all I really needed was you." Then he crouched down. "Your love. And now, through Caitlynn, there's love in my life again. I have avenged your death with the help of Caitlynn." He glanced at his true love. "Helped me not the begin with everything as a lie, but to tell the truth, she showed me that. And she gonna help me getting free from the dagger as you always had wanted that, son." Then he stood up again and walked towards Caitlynn, grabbing her hand.

Then Caitlynn spoke up, looking at the gravestone. "Neal, I'm so, so, sorry about that you never did meet your little sister Aubrey. You told that only seeing a picture of her was enough, but I think you did want to meet you little sister. I think that you are looking from above us and did meet her, I really hope you did that, but we will never if you really did it." She chuckled. "Aubrey knows about you, about that you died to protect everyone. Also she has seen you in a picture, happily to know that she had a big brother." She sighed as was still holding hands with Gold. "You will forever be missed, Neal." Then she looked at Gold. "I'm ready to leave here if you are."

Gold closed his eyes, before he opened his eyes and looked at her. "I don't think I will ever be ready to leave here."

"I know, but we have to." Caitlynn squeezed in his hand. "We have to mourn about his loss and eventually the pain will become less."

"Parents shouldn't have to bury their children." Gold sighed heavily as he side hugged his wife.

Caitlynn said nothing more, they just looked at the gravestone from Neal.

Gold drove them to a house that he and David found while Caitlynn had her bachelor party. "It's right around the bend." He told her. "Your father and I found it while you had your bachelor party and it must've come over in the last curse. No one's claimed it. I thought there'd be no harm if we borrowed it for our honeymoon." Caitlynn smiled at him as he smiled back.

Then they went out of the car with their bags in their hands. When they arrived by the house, they walked inside of it as Caitlynn comment. "I wonder to who this house belonged to."

"Well, I haven't seen it on the inside, when I found it with you father, but it's already looking lovely." Gold told her.

"We will find out it together, then." Caitlynn told him happily as then she grabbed his hand. "Come on." But Gold just stood there, looking at something. "Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, just something that mind be handy for later." Gold replied to her.

Then, they searched the whole house until they find a ballroom as Caitlynn looked in awe. "Beautiful, what do you think?"

"Well, I think we've been married almost a full day, and I don't believe we've had our first dance." Gold suggested to her as then he used his magic on her, from her wedding clothes, she was now wearing a beautiful blue dress as then he used his magic on himself, he had now a dark blue suit on. Then he asked to her. "Care to dance, Mrs. Gold?"
