*FF time skip*

A month later after the whole incident with Jefferson. I had been trying to forget about that night and try and live a normal life but at night I'm haunted by nightmares of what could've happened plus some strange dreams of me and him together with a blonde haired girl.

I didn't know what to make of the dreams so I chose to ignore them and try and move on from the past.

But every now and then I feel like he's watching me. That he knows where I live, where I work, and truthfully it begun to scare me.

I had confide to Emma about it and she allowed me security and issued me a taser gun because she thought that with my paranoia and how freaked out I was when it came to Jefferson that I could really hurt someone with a real gun, so I had to go with a taser, it'd be enough to stun a person and not murder them.

One night after getting off my shift from Granny's, Ruby offered to walk me home and since she and I had become good friends in my month of working there, I couldn't say no to her. Once we reached my apartment I suddenly received a text, I took out my phone to see it was from Emma. I opened the text and read it and became shocked.

"What is it? Sarah?"

"Henry's in the hospital in a coma". She and I stared at each other in shock then without another word I took off towards the hospital to see every doctor, Regina, and Emma gathered around a very pale and still Henry Mills. I walked up to Emma and placed my hand on her back and rubbed it gingerly trying to comfort her.

"How did this happen?"

"Regina did this. She gave me apple slices for the road just before I was about to leave town, Henry tried to warn me and took a bite of it, next thing I knew he was on the ground barely breathing". I couldn't help but glare at the mayor for doing this to Emma's son but Regina looked like she had been crying all night. I rubbed Emma's back and said.

"Can I get you anything?"

"No, no thank you I'm good Sarah, why don't you go home? I'll be fine".

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah". I hugged her and she hesitated but hugged me back then I left the hospital and went back to our apartment. I walked up the stairs towards our room and unlocked the door and entered inside.

I dropped all my stuff and went to the fridge to get myself some ice cream. I ate my double fudge brownie ice cream right out of the carton as I took a deep breath and sighed heavily.

Lately things have gotten so stressful lately and now Henry's in a coma-like state I don't know what anyone can do. Just thinking about all this sudden stress is making me want to go back to cutting my wrists but I had been 30 days clean, I'd rather not go back to that life.

Ever.

"About time you got back here". A voice said. My eyes shot open as I recognized that voice. The voice that has haunted me in my dreams, the voice that I wished I had never heard of, the voice I wished to have forgotten.

Jefferson's voice.

I quickly sat up and grabbed my taser gun and pointed at him to see him standing by the staircase just a few feet away from my guest bedroom just underneath it.

"How the hell did you get in here?"

"Spare key". He said. I took notice that he was now dressed up in disguise in a male nurses outfit. Probably was just at the hospital a new moments ago before coming here to hide. "(Y/n) just let me—"

"No! Stop calling me that! That is not my name! I am not your wife! Now get out before I shoot you!"

"I mean you no harm, I just wanted to see you,"

"LEAVE!!!!" I fired the taser but nothing happened. I pulled the trigger again but nothing happened. "It should fire, what did you do?!"

"I wanted to make sure nothing interrupts us from trying to talk. (Y/n) please,"

"STOP CALLING ME THAT!!" I threw the taser at him and ran for my life.

He tailed behind me as I tried to grab a sharp kitchen knife to defend myself but he grabbed me around the waist and pulled me away from the kitchen into the living room. I screamed and thrashed when he set me on the couch and pinned me down with all his might and said.

"(Y/n). You've known me all your life. Your name is (y/f/n) (y/m/n) (y/l/n). We grew up together, you helped me raise Grace when she was born, you then became my wife and we almost had another child together. Regina came into our lives and asked me to do a job for her but she betrayed me and left me in Wonderland where I've tried to get back to you and Grace".

"SHUT UP!!!!!" I tried to push him off of me but he pinned my hands above my head, my legs were trapped by his then he kissed me once again.

This time a felt a wave over me and everything came at me like a wave rolling against the coast.

When he separated from me, I looked up at him with a blank stare.

"Jefferson?" I whispered.

"Yeah?" It was then my heart broke and tears formed in my eyes at the sight of my husband before me.

He was alive.

"Y-you.....you're alive! You-you-you came back" Jefferson's face broke as he smiled down at me with tears in his eyes.

"Yes (y/n)". He gently placed his hand against my cheek as I whimpered and looked up at him after all these years. I had been through torment ever since I had found out he was trapped in Wonderland by the Queen, I had thought I'd never seen my husband again and thought he had died at the hands of the Queen of Hearts.

"Has it been so long? So long" I whimpered as I pressed my hand against his cheek. He took my hand and kissed the palm of it as I continued to cry.

"Well I couldn't leave my little Hare, not when I vowed to her my heart". He leaned towards me and we kissed each other passionately after so many years.

*Epilogue*

A couple of days later as everyone was trying to find their loved ones, Jefferson hesitated to wanting to get our little Grace back even after I had seen her. He feared that since he left us to do the Queen's work, that she'll hate him for leaving even though he was on his way back when the Queen tricked him.

I assured him that our little Grace didn't hate him nor will she once she saw him so I ordered him to go and pick her up after school to see for himself. Once they got back, I saw Jefferson carrying Grace like he always did back home in the enchanted forest and Grace promised us that tea party that she would hold for us once Jefferson had returned.

After 28 years, Jefferson, Grace and I were once again a family and we had gotten what we had longed for the most.

A Happy Ending.
