Else blinked, taken back.
Well that warm, victorious moment was shot the hell down rather fast. Thank you, King Triton.
"FORGET favors. Why are all beings from our world so hung up on FAVORS..." She ranted, then breathed to settle herself down. "I did it for Ariel. Nothing more. Now let's all cram into the van once more and pop that thing back were it belongs, okay?" She turned on her heel and headed outside.

Ariel was sitting on the floor staring at the rum bottle sitting on the counter she wanted it but she had so little desire to actually get up and get it. Ariel heard the door bell ring and for a moment she didn't even care.
Ariel let it ring for a few more minutes before getting up and opening it. "Wha- Daddy?" She stopped seeing most of her family and Else
"What brings you by." Ariel was worried.

Triton seemed stunned, seeing his daughter so disheveled, so Else spoke up.
"Hon... we miss Ariel. And I KNOW that she is going to understand why we have to do this." The mermaid looked confused. "Ladies... NOW."
At Else's command Ariel's sisters flooded in, grabbing hold of her. At first she was clueless... until she saw the dark wooden box in her father's hands.

Ariel saw the box and tried to run but her sisters grabbed her before she could do anything. She struggled and pulled to get away from her sisters. All she could think was the pain would be back that never ending pain and she screamed.
"No! Please don't!" Ariel tried to roll her body away from her father anything to keep her heart from being returned to her. She kicked and yanked but in the end it was useless.
"DON'T! NOT THIS!" She shrieked.

Triton opened the box, but the screams coming from Ariel, from his little girl, made him hesitate.
Else watched him. Was he SERIOUSLY considering NOT doing this? Else put a hand on his shoulder.
"There is always a little bit of pain... in all of us. It makes us who we are, Triton." She said gently to him. "This person in front of you... is a shell... she's not Ariel... not all of her. Not the part that is can love and be loved."
He just held the heart in his hands. "I can't do it... I might hurt her... YOU have to. If you ever felt that you weren't there for her... be here for her NOW..."

Triton didn't take his eyes off of the glowing, pure ruby heart. He brought it close, and gently slid it back in to her chest.
"I'm sorry Ariel... I'm so sorry..." Whether it was for the pain he was causing her now... or that she had endured ever since she came to Storybrooke... he wasn't sure. Maybe both.

Ariel was hit with a wave of emotions so fast and so powerful. She couldn't breath for a moment as love, fear and sadness hit her like a tidal wave. She shook as she felt tears coming to the surface, "Daddy?" Ariel looked up at her father and saw love in his eyes. "Daddy, I'm sorry." She put her arms around him holding him close for the first time in so long Ariel cried into his shoulder. All the while telling him she was sorry for everything and yet Ariel felt it would never be enough.
She made a huge mistake and wasn't even sure yet what kind of ramifications might be caused from her deal.

Triton held his little girl tight, stroking her hair. "Forgive ME, Ariel..." Said the Ocean King, voice giving a slight tremor.
"In trying to hold on tight to you... I pushed you so far away. I regret that. Everyday I regret that..." He pulled her in closer to himself, salty tears rolling down his aged face.

As father finally pulled his face away from Ariel's red hair, Alana bit her lip, trying to keep her lower lip from quivering uncontrollably.
"Ariel... I'm... I'm so sorry....I didn't...I..." She looked down. "...I don't know how to make up for it. Any of it... what I said to you... it... that wasn't me. I love you... I don't care what you've done... I just want my sister back... and to be the sister I'm supposed to be." She choked, pressing her forehead to Ariel's, hugging her close.

Ariel hugged Alana, "I love you Alana, nothing else matters now." It felt so good to hold her sister. "I am so sorry too I know what you gave up for me and I wont forget it. I am... just so happy to have you back." Ariel pulled back for a moment.
"Oh Neptune, I said somethings to you... I am so sorry Alana I remember all of it and I didn't mean any of it I swear." She pulled her back into a hug.

Hook had been watching quietly from the back, this wasn't his moment- her family and Else may have deserved this reunion; but he sure as hell didn't. He actually considered leaving them now.... but Else would have a hormonal fit and Ariel was just find him again any way.
He leaned against the wall and tried to enjoy the moment

Else eyes were a hot mess. As emotionally moving as all this was, she had hormones making it INFINITELY MORE hard NOT to ball her eyes out. She stood back, letting the merfamily reconnect. She would have plenty of time to see Ariel later....
She wiped her eyes, glancing around the room until she found Hook, against a wall, far away from the action. She sighed. She went over to him and linked her arm through his, gave him a small smile and then leaned her tired head against his shoulder. They both looked on at the happy reunion, soaking it in wordlessly.

Ariel hugged each of her sisters, "Attina I am so glad your here. Aquata you to!" She called to each of them. Finally Ariel had hugged all of them probably at lease three times each she saw Else and Killian in the back of her living room.
Ariel went to Else first and wordlessly hugged her, "I am so sorry I should have realized what I would have missed when I made this choice." Ariel said looking down at Else's pregnant belly. "It was wrong I can see that now." Ariel hugged her again.
"My sisters told me what you did and I am grateful for a friend like you Else. You have gotten so big!" She smiled a bit though her tears before turning to look at Killian.

"It's good to have you back, Love" He smiled, then took her hand and kissed it lightly,"I... shouldn't have lost myself back there.... and I'm sorry I haven't been there for you in perhaps he way I should have"

Ariel went over to Killian then, "It's not your fault I said things to. Killian I am happy your back and safe." Ariel hugged him then not caring if her family was there or not.
"Thank you, I'm sorry I made you worry and that I acted completely insane." Ariel smiled at him. "I am glad your here I owe you a lot Killian and I wont forget that."
