I wasn't sure when we had gotten to the hospital or how they had managed to get me settled down into a bed by how much the pain was taking over every thought that was running through my mind. Laying my head against the pillows I gasped feeling harsh pain flashing through my abdomen. "God! What is happening to me?"
"Ms. Royal, I'm sorry we're rather swamped today. The mayor's son was brought after he ate an apple turnover." The hospital room door opened and I felt a wave of relief come over me seeing the familiar sight of my mother.
"Mom!" I sharply changed my words remembering she was still under the evil queen's curse. "Nurse Nolan, what is wrong with me?"
She sat down her chart taking her stethoscope off from around her neck placing it on my swollen stomach listening to the two heartbeats. "I'm not entirely sure just yet. We'll have to run some tests to see if you're truly ready to deliver your babies. Is there anyone you'd like us to call?"
"Mr. Gold. He's my emergency contact." I instantly answered her question knowing he'd probably be able to figure this out sooner than they could.
She nodded leaving the room. "I'll be right back."
"Everly! I'm so sorry I wasn't here when they brought you in. I shouldn't have let you go to Ms. Swan's place by yourself." Rumple ran into the room an hour later taking my right hand the second he had made his way to my bedside, balancing his other hand on his cane.
Squeezing his hand in mine I knew he felt guilty but it wouldn't help whatever situation we were in at the moment. Henry and I were both in this hospital for completely different reasons. "Rumple, you couldn't have known. We're here now. Let's just hope the babies will come out easily."
"You better be nice to your mother, little ones -" He gasped, barely placing his hand over my round belly.
"Rumple?"
His brown eyes didn't move away from my belly. "I've never felt anything like that before. It shouldn't be possible, not here especially."
"What are you talking about?" I questioned him so confused until he lifted up my shirt, revealing my stomach that was covered in small black veins. "Rumple, what are those?"
"I never thought it was possible for a witch or witches to be born without their own access to magic. Yet I think that's what is happening to you, Eve. I think our babies can only draw magic from other magical people."
"You mean like when Caroline gave birth to Lizzie and Josie in the Vampire Diaries?"
Rumple gave me the most confused look of his entire life. "What are you talking about, lass?"
"Have you never watched the show in the 28 years we've been cursed here?" He gave me no verbal response in return so I began explaining to him what had occurred with the tv show. "Anyway the twins were born without their own magic so they were called siphons."
He looked at me feeling like he had control of the situation anymore and he certainly didn't care to feel this way. "How were these kids successfully born then?"
"They created more magic somewhere else for the babies to want to go after. So we have to do the same thing with the magic golden egg you put inside Maleficent. Otherwise they will keep feeding off my trapped magic running through my veins until I'm-"
"Don't say it or dare even think that happening to you. I refuse to let that happen. I will not let that happen!"
Grasping his hand in mine he finally met my gaze, calming down for a few seconds. "Just for one second we should agree on the babies names if they're born when you're not by my side."
"You can name them whatever you want. I just need the three of you to be safe. I have to go right now, Everly." Rumple kissed my head running a hand through my hair quickly leaving the room now on a mission to save his family not caring about anyone else. "I'll bring it back to protect you. I swear it, my princess."
"Hey, are you okay?" I heard Emma's voice outside the hallway, waking me up from the short nap the babies inside me allowed me to have. "What is that?"
I groaned doing what I could to hold myself up enough to see out the window seeing some smoke rolling in our direction that I slumped my shoulders in relief knowing what was really coming at us. He had successfully brought magic to a land without it. "Kathryn!"
"Are you okay, Ms. Royal?" She rushed inside my room.
I began to speak but cut myself off grabbing my stomach in pain. "Ahh! Get out of me, please. Help me - before they kill me."
"We need a doctor now!" She hollered into the hallway causing a few other medical workers running into my room trying to ignore the purple fog slowly coming towards the hospital.
I was told I had to sit up with my legs open and then start pushing. The contractions started coming closer together when I gave my first few pushes. My heart started banging against my chest and I already felt tired. "It's starting to come out. Just a few more big pushes."
My hands were almost turning white while I gripped the handle of the dagger. Sweat was sticking to my forehead with the white hair falling over my shoulders appearing to be a mess. "Errr!"
Nodding my head slowly I bared my teeth doing one final push that took the last of my energy that I had left. An infant's cry filled the room where I threw my head back onto the pillows. Gulping a lump down my throat I slowly controlled my breathing while the other nurse wrapped the baby in a blanket. "Congratulations, you have a baby girl."
"And the other is a boy." Baring my teeth I clutched my eyes tightly closed using the last bit of energy and strength that was left inside my body till suddenly another infant cry filled the room.
Kathryn came over, handing me the baby girl first and holding my son in her arms since I couldn't hold two babies very good at the moment. "Did you have names already picked out?"
"Valerie for the girl and Robin for the boy. Valerie and Robin Gold."
Suddenly before my eyes a cloud of dark red smoke appeared inside the hospital room and once it cleared away I saw Rumple standing before me and my still cursed mother holding his son in her arms. "How did you get in here like that? Wha - wait a second why am I starting to recognize you from somewhere else?" She muttered, eyeing him up and down with curiosity.
Rumple didn't pick up on what she had said, too worried about me and our newborns. "Everly, I'm relieved it worked. How are you, how are our twins?"
"Rumple, We're all fine. Come meet your son and daughter." I gestured for him to come over with the moving of my head where he sat down on the edge of the bed looking at his daughter who had his dark brown eyes and appeared to have small locks of my blonde hair.
Kathryn slowly handed him his son still trying to figure out how she knew the man before him and then it donned on her. "She called you Rumple - as in Rumplestilskin."
"I think you have the wrong man, Ms. Nolan." He attempted to lie, not sure if the curse had been broken even with magic now flowing throughout Storybrooke.
Her next words caused me to take my attention away from my newborn daughter, wanting for this day to come from the moment I had remembered who I truly was in this town. "Rumple. You're Rumplestiltskin the man my daughter loves - Everly!" She covered her mouth with her hands instantly sobbing happily.
"Mother." I squealed out like a child crying happy tears finally having her and everyone else know who they truly were back in the Enchanted Forest. "The curse is finally broken."
She grinned, wiping away some more tears that had slipped down her face, eyeing my lover holding our newborn son in his arms. "Oh my sweet girl we have so much to talk about."
"Princess Abigail, glad to see you've returned." Rumple spoke towards her.
My mother waved her index finger in his face with her warning tone. "First things first Rumplestilskin. I demand to know two things: why didn't I know she was pregnant and are you married to my daughter or not?"I knew she wouldn't want to hurt him but I wasn't sure the same would be said of my father Fredrick. This was definitely going to be an interesting family reunion for all of us.
