Chapter 22
" Luv, go back inside. It's too cold for you out here".
The caring husband tries to convince his stubborn wife, but she won't budge. She plants her heeled boots on the roof of the library.
" I'm alright. The babies are keeping me warm".
Killian brings Scarlett into his embrace, resting his chin on the top of her head. She lets out a deep breath, closing her eyes as she enjoys their moment. When her eyes open, she sees lights flashing from down below, and so she transports herself in Killian down by the elevator.
Emma lays eyes on her mother, and quickly brings her in for a hug.
" I can use a little help here", Regina says after finishing the chalk drawing on the elevator.
Scarlett raises her right hand, inacting the spell, making the chalk glow and the door open... only to be met by brick.
" {sighs} So much for surprising him", David says.
" Oh, we'll think of something else. We always do", Snow says.
" What if I could burn our names off the gravestone that Hades made for us, the ones holding us here?", Emma asks.
" Won't work", Scarlett replies.
" We won't know unless we try".
" I did try, and it doesn't work".
" Well I haven't".
" Do you think you're better than me? All because you were made by--".
" I think that's enough", David interjects.
" Oh piss off, Prince Vanilla", Scarlett says.
" Hey, watch your--".
" Oh yes, please tell me once again how to behave. It's not like your behavior got you poisoned and almost killed or anything".
" Do I need to put you in a time out?", Regina asks.
" Says the woman who tried to kill her own step daughter for over a decade", Scarlett quips.
By now, everyone is on edge, but remain silent. Nobody wants to see Scarlett snap. Especially not with her pregnancy hormones.
" A spell like that doesn't even exist", Regina says, quick to change the subject.
" Actually, it does. It came to me in a dream", Emma says, " I know it sounds crazy, but I can remember every detail. It would be a long shot, but..."
" Well, as for maybes and hopefully's, I've learned to never question yours. I'm coming with you", Grant says.
" Snow and I will take Henry back to the apartment, keep him safe", David says.
" No, actually, I'm going with Emma".
" No, no that's not a good idea".
" I promised to take down Hades and get back to our son, remember? If this is how we do it, I'm in".
" Emma, I wouldn't argue with your mother", David speaks once more.
" Get going and I'll meet you at the cemetery", Regina says, " Now I need to go see my sister".
" I'm coming with you", Scarlett says, " She has a history with Hades, as do I. I could help you".
" Honey, even though you're a mother to be, I'm still yours. Get some rest and stay out of trouble".
