Lillian fell onto her hands and knees as she left the portal, coughing as she took deep breaths, finally some actual fresh air.
''Lillian?'' She lifted her head up to see Pinocchio and Marco, who quickly walked towards her and helped her onto her feet.
''You're back, how did it go, where are the others?''
''Calm down Pinocchio, one question at a time.''
''Sorry papa, how are you Lily?''
''I'm okay, thanks Pinocchio.'' She looked around and smiled, the realization of seeing Peter and the twins hit her again. ''And the others are on their way, I'm waiting for them on this side.'' She thanked both Pinocchio and Marco before they left her on her own, sitting on a rock, impatiently waiting for the others to arrive back into the actual world.
When the others finally arrived in front of her, she rushed to Henry and hugged him, before noticing that Hook wasn't with them. ''Killian?''
Henry shook his head and explained that Hades had chopped down the ambrosia tree and locked all of them in the clock tower. Lillian was even more furious at Hades now. She already hated him for kissing her and hearing that he tried to sabotage them, she wanted to kill him so badly.
''Let's go and find our family.''
Arriving at David and Snow's loft, Lillian felt Peter's present in there as well, as well as Bea's and the twins. And even if she couldn't sense them, she could hear the twins crying through the door.
''They really are your children Lily.'' When Merida and Sleepy walked towards them, Lily laid a finger on her lips, signaling for them to stay silent. They gave a nod and Sleepy gave David a pat on the shoulder, smiling at him and Lillian.
''I know. I agree. We need our family back soon.''
''Soon enough?'' When Snow, Bea and Peter heard David's voice, all three of them looked up to the door, seeing David standing there with Lillian, Emma and Henry not far behind.
''David.'' She rushed up to him and kissed him, handing over baby Neal and hugging Henry and Emma.
''Lillian!'' Peter rushed over to her and lifted her off her feet, twirling her around and kissing her deeply, holding her by her waist as he placed her down. After breaking the kiss, he held his forehead to hers, smiling at her.
''May I as well?'' Bealfire took his sister into his arms and kissed the top of her head, before looking at the twins. ''I think someone else wants to greet their mother.'' She chuckled and allowed Peter to hand Liam into her arm. She studied his face and smiled. He looked a bit more like herself, his skin color was a bit more tanned than Luna's and his hair was the dark black hair that Lily had as well, the only thing they didn't have in common were their eyes, he had Peter's bright green eyes.
She than looked at Luna who was in Peter's arms, looking up to her mother while giggling, she looked more like Peter. Her hair was light brown and her skin color was a bit lighter than Liam's, but just like her brother, her eyes were what set her apart. They were the bright blue of Lillian's.
''Did everyone else --'' Snow trailed off as Lillian smiled and took over.
''Regina and Robin are here, too.''
''Grandpa came back with Belle. At least, we think he did.'' Baelfire smiled and looked towards Lily, who gave him a nod as he placed his left arm around her shoulders.
''And Hook?'' When no-one replied, Snow looked at Emma while Peter and Bae looked at Lillian.
''Lily, I'm so sorry, I know how much he meant to you.''
''Well ... at least he knows his unfinished business and is able to leave because of that. I wouldn't want him stuck in there.''
Snow hugged Emma before Emma was blaming herself again, Lillian didn't even listen as she was too busy with Liam in her arms, who kept trying to get a hold onto her curly hair. She giggled and placed her finger in front of her hair, which resulted in Liam holding onto her finger instead.
''Well, there's more to it. We weren't the only ones that came through the portal. Hades and Zelena They made it back, too. They have Robin's baby.''
''I found my brother, I helped him move on. His unfinished business was getting alright with me. I told him I'd forgiven him quite a long time ago. My father however, I left him to rot in there.'' Her eyes widened in realization and moved her head to Peter. ''Malcolm was there was well, didn't help him either.''
Peter hugged her again, kissing her temple. ''I'm sorry you had to go through that love, I'm glad I wasn't there though, I would have thrown everyone in that river.''
Lillian chuckled to herself, getting Henry's attention who laughed as well.
''That doesn't work with everyone.'' Henry pointed at Lillian and laughed. ''She is able to just swim through it, did it twice actually.'' Peter turned to her with a look of surprise and smirked.
''Still a lost girl than, Tiger Lily?''
Even when Emma and David left when they heard about Arthur, Lillian didn't go with them. She wanted to have as much time with the twins and Peter. She was a bit upset to hear that she missed their first time performing magic.
Both of the twins had grown a bit of hair, she was waving her hand through Luna's hair and smiled at her. She couldn't believe that they were already a few months old, she had already missed so much, and she didn't want to miss even more.
Peter had forced Lillian to go to sleep for a bit, when she did, she heard the voice of Killian and Arthur.
''are you sure this will work?''
''My cousin is one of the best sorceress ever, she transported the magic in here, I'm sure of it.'' Killian sighed and took another deep breath. ''Lillian, if you can hear this, than you actually are the best sorceress, you moved the magic out of the phone booth into the phone in your own house, impressive. Now, I called with a reason, I know how you're able to defeat Hades.''
Lillian woke up with a jolt, she looked around herself and quickly got dressed, running downstairs to see Peter making some coffee. The twins were both peacefully sleeping in their cribs.
''Lillian, what's wrong?''
''It's a lot to explain, long story short, I know how to defeat Hades.''
Peter and Lillian decided to split up, Lillian was going to alarm Robin and Regina while Peter was going to find Emma and the others. When they hit the point where they had to say goodbye. Lillian didn't say a word and just cupped his jaw to kiss him. She smiled at him after they broke the kiss, a silent goodbye. She than waved her hand around herself and disappear in her cloud of smoke.
Lillian was wondering around the tunnels under Storybrooke, sensing Regina getting closer and closer. She knew these tunnels, she had used them many times before while they were under the curse, she used them to sneak in and out of the town hall and Regina's studies without her noticing it.
''Your father's here, and everything's gonna be all right.''
''I wouldn't be so sure.''
''You stay away from my daughter.''
''Believe me. She's not the one who's in danger.'' Lillian heard the voiced and followed them, she closed her eyes and let her magic and her hearing abilities lead her closer and closer to the room.
''Hades, stop. This isn't worth it. If you kill me, you will lose Zelena forever.''
''Shh. Only if she knows about it. And this isn't going to kill you, it's going to end you. No Underworld, no moving on. One minute, you exist, and the next you don't. That's what you get for trying to turn Zelena against me.''
''This was my idea to break in here.- Just use that on me.You let her go.- No.Oh, sorry.- Ladies first.-'' But he didn't point to either Regina or Robin, Lillian took the blast and fell to the ground.''
''No! No!''
Peter was outside with the others when he collapsed onto the ground, holding his hand over his heart. Gasping for air and yelling out in pain, feeling the connection between him and Lillian breaking. David and Henry were next to him within a second, yelling out his name, but getting no response at all.
Rumple was in the shop when he felt that his ward was in trouble, he knew what had happened the minute he felt their blood connection shatter away, and he knew there was only one way for her to survive.
''Don't worry. You won't be apart long.'' When they heard footsteps, both of their heads snapped up, away from Lillian's lifeless body. They turned to see Zelena walking into the room, pages in hand.
''Regina, Robin. What happened?'' Zelena stared at Lillian's body, she stared at the lifeless closed eyes, it was terrifying to see the powerful teenager like that
''Hades did this.''
''He said he was going to kill you, Zelena. I had to protect you.''
''That's a lie.''
''Is it? Because I've just found Emma, and these.'' Showing the pages to her and Robin, she was starting to cry. ''You wanted to kill him!''
''I was trying to protect you, Zelena. He's been lying to you since the minute his heart started beating.''
''Is it true what they said? Did you trap them in the Underworld?''
''I did it for you so we wouldn't have to hurt anybody. But now they're here, and the only way to be safe is to use this power to create a new kingdom our kingdom.''
''Can't we just be happy together? I mean, why do we need a kingdom?''
''This is about getting back at the families who never believed in us. Remember what I told you there's no better revenge -- ''
''Than having it all.'' Regina launched at Hades while Robin stayed by Lillian's side. The ember fell out of Hades' hand and Zelena got it, pointing it at Regina.
''It's okay. Use it. End her.''
''Zelena ... I do believe in you. I defended you when no one else did. I wanted so badly for you to find love. But sometimes love blinds us. Hades tried to kill me already.''
''No, she's lying.''
''Robin was prepared to died to protect me. That's what true love is. It's sacrifice. It's giving up everything for the person you love. But Hades won't give up a single thing for you. Like he said, he wants it all.''
''Listen to her. She doesn't think you deserve to be happy. Look at this office. Look at this town. This all belonged to her when you had nothing, remember? -- All you have to do is kill her, and you can have everything you ever wanted. -- Do it.If you won't, I will.''
''All I ever wanted was love. You told me that was enough for you, but now I realize nothing ever will be!'' She stuck it into Hades' heart. Both Regina and Robin looked at Zelena as Regina cradled her. Robin having Lillian's head in his lap.
Rumple arrived in the room, staring at Lillian's body in Robin's arms. He sighed and looked at Regina, Zelena and Robin.
''Gold ... I'm so sorry.''
''Don't be, I have the solution for this.'' He turned his head to two eight year old kids. A tanned, brown haired girl with bright blue eyes stood next to a black haired boy with green eyes.
''Gold, what have you done?''
I wanted to upload early with a big cliffhanger. I hope you enjoyed it, and what do you think that Gold has done, and how is he going to bring back Lillian this time? If you enjoyed this chapter, please leave a vote, comment and a theory. And I'll see you soon!
