"Emma! Please stop playing and get ready for bed." Snow said to her hyperactive child.
"But mommy! I don't want to sleep, I'm not tired yet." The little golden haired girl complained.
"I know you are sweetheart but tomorrow we are going to travel to another kingdom and you need your rest." Snow took her little girl in her arms and tucked her into bed. She grabbed Emma's favourite toy, a white plush unicorn and gave it to her. As soon as the girl had her toy she hug it tightly.
Snow look at her girl and was filth with joy. After everything that happened and all the deals they had to make they had finally found their happy ending.
"Mommy, I want a story." The girl pouted and looked expecting at her mother.
"Alright little princess, I will tell you a story. Close your eyes and listen closely."
The little princess closed her eyes and let her mother's words flow.
"Once upon a time in the middle of the strongest winter this kingdom has ever known. When the flakes of snow were falling like feathers from the sky, a queen sat at a window sewing. And whilst she was sewing and looking out of the window at the snow, she pricked her finger with a needle, and three drops of blood fell upon the snow. The red looked pretty upon the white snow and the queen thought to herself. ' I wish I had a child as white as snow, as red as blood and as black as the wood of the window-frame.
Soon after she had a little girl, who was as white as snow, with lips as red as blood and with her hair as black as the ebony of the window-frame. She was therefore called Snow-white."
The little princess opened her eyes and smiled at her mother. "It's your story, Mommy!" Snow-White nodded at continue.

"After the happiness of the birth of the princess came the sorrow of the death of the queen, who hadn't been strong enough and had died of an terrible illness. The king and princess grieve for a year when the king decided she needed a new mother. They travelled to different kingdoms met different princess but none show any interest in being the little princess's mother. None until one day the little princess was saved, when her horse had gone wild. She was saved by a young and beautiful woman, at first she was kind and good to the little princess but when time passed the woman had shown her real colours. She was evil, she killed the king and started a hunt on the princess. But because the princess was kind and loving she had many supporters and friends to help her escape the queens wrath.
After being on the run for so many years she found her true love and she found the courage to take back her kingdom. Together they caught the evil queen and bring an end to her ruling. All should have been well but the evil queen treated the kingdom and all who lived in it. She wanted to destroy their happiness but before she could enact this terrible treat, Snow-white and her prince charming made a deal with a very powerful sorcerer. He made sure the evil queen couldn't act on her revenge and they banished her.
Years went by and they never heard from her again. The kingdom was free of her wrath and Snow-white and prince charming married and had a beautiful golden haired girl, named Emma.
And princess Emma knows no matter what evil lurks in this world. Her parents will always be there for her to protect her. The princess and her parents lived happily ever after."

The little princess yawned and rubbed her eyes. Sleep was taking over but she still had a little energy to ask her mother a question.
"What happened to the queen after she was banished?" Snow push a strain of hair out of the princess's face.
"We don't know, but there have been rumors that she died a few years ago. Don't worry my sweet girl she cannot harm you. No go to sleep and dream of sweet things, like flowers, the sang of birds or the sweet taste of honey."
Snow-white kissed the princess on her forehead and bid her goodnight.

Snow closes the heaven wooden door of Emma's nursery and retreats back to her chambers in the west wing but before she enterers she takes a detour and climbs the stairs of the west wing tower. At the end of the stairs she opens the wooden door and steps inside.

"Good evening Regina." Snow says looking at her former step-mother.

"Good evening Snow-White." The woman behind bars answers with a sneer. "What do you want?"

Snow steps closer to the bars and smiles at the woman. "I'm here to tell you that from now on you don't have to expect me visiting anymore. My daughter is five and I want to spend all my time with her." Regina huffs.

"Do you really think I look forward to your visitations?" she rolls her eyes.

"Maybe not now but after a while you will miss them because this will be your last visitation ever. You will not have contact with a soul, you will live here and people will forget you, They will never know who the evil queen was, it will be like you would have never existed ." The woman stands up and takes several steps forward.

"My name is queen Regina! And I don't care about your treats, I don't want company. I want you all to leave me alone."

Snow signs. "You might think you don't need anyone but sooner or later the loneliness will break you. Goodbye Regina." Snow steps out of the room and climbs down the stairs with every step the groans and cries of Regina voice grow smaller and smaller until she can't hear them anymore.

When she reaches her chambers again her husband kind David is already in bed waiting for his wife the join him.
"What's wrong?" He asks seeing the worrying look on Snows face. "I visited Regina for the last time tonight and I don't feel bad about." David gets out of bed and walks to his wife who was starting to undress.
"Why would you feel bad about that? She doesn't deserve your pity." He tells her while losing the cords on Snows corset.
"I know but still deep down I wish I could bring back the woman she once was. But after tonight I really think that, that person is long gone." David guides is wife to the bed and pulls the woolen sheets of her. He steps around the bed and gets in on the other side spooning his wife and kissing her neck.
"You did the right thing, Snow. You acted like a true queen and a loving mother." Snows turns her head and kisses her husband.
"I love you charming."
"I love you too, Snow-white."
They closed their eyes and went to sleep. The kingdom and their daughter had been saved from the wrath of the evil queen.
