Well, that was eventful. At least things seem back to normal, now. It was a bit of seeing "the man behind the curtain," wasn't it? No offense to those of your from Oz, of course. [ Snow White sighs; she's thinking of a particular flying monkey whose assistance she's starting to miss. ]

I'm not exactly sure if this has been asked before, but are there are records of the people of Wonderland? Not the residents, just us. Our... histories, names, that sort of thing.

[ She hasn't had much luck with her own project, in noting it all in a book, unfortunately. ]

Aside from the network. But I guess it would be too convenient to ask for.

I'm sure that it was taken in the Mirrors' rampant thievery, but has anyone seen a few [ there's the tiniest hesitation, barely discernible, and then: ] pictures? They've gone missing; they've very important to me.

[ He begins again and it's like a knot is unraveling in her chest. Her breathing slows, her face lighting up with each new word.

Thank god.

She almost laughs when he kisses her, finally admitting a smile when they pull apart. And she kisses him back, of course; God, she'd missed that. ]

I love you, too. [ Her husband, her Bigby Wolf. Same, but different. It's enough. ] I know it's a lot to take in, and I can tell you all about it. But...

[ The smile turns slightly sad and she glances out at her room. ]

I wish I could show them to you. I had a picture, but... I think it was stolen. They're all true shapeshifters; Connor, Ambrose, Darien, Winter, Blossom, Therese... well, and Ghost: a zephyr.

[The swell of pride that filled his chest when Snow described their children was nothing he'd ever experienced before. Seven children who weren't confined to the Farm because of his past. A life with Snow... he couldn't imagine a more perfect future.]

I'll track the photograph down. No one steals our children from us. But you can describe them to me until then and that will be just as good. Just... can you say that again? Say that you love me. Their words I never dared to hope hear you say.

[ Her smile grows and she leans up to plant a firm kiss against his lips. ]

I love you. [ And she means it; for her, it's been a very, very long time. A lot had happened since his memories. ] I'll say it all you want. I mean it, Bigby... really, I do.
