"This is your room, You can decorate it how you like. Just let me know and we can go shopping tomorrow after school." Regina smiled down at her daughter, What a foreign word that was for her. Her head was still spinning but nevertheless she was happy.

"I don't have to stay here y'know? I don't wanna cause trouble." The girl said, Bowing her head while she bit her bottom lip uncertainly.

"You belong here." Regina said taking the girl in her arms breifly. She'd noticed that Danielle seemed rather quiet, Uncomfortably so and all she wanted was to make her feel welcome.

"You have a family. A really great one, I just don't wanna ruin that." The brunnette teen sighed as she relaxed in her Mother's embrace, She didn't have a bad childhood; But it wasn't great either.

She was different, An outsider and nobody before now had tried to make her feel any differently.

"Enough." Regina interrupted firmly, She grabbed the girl by the chin and smiled.

"You're as much a part of this family as anyone else. I just wish I'd known sooner." Regina didn't regret her sorrow tone, She'd often wondered about her Daughter. Who she ended up with, What kind of life she was living. A mixture of shock and happiness took over the day Emma knocked on her door, Teenager in tow. She'd plonked herself down on Regina's sofa and spilled the beans.

Their relationship was tense at first, Regina explained why she had given her Daughter up. As Emma had done with Henry, She was giving Danielle her best chance. She was 18 and entirely unready to be a Mother, Danielle seemed to understand that, But she still felt like an outcast.

"It's okay." Regina knew that their situation was anything but okay, Still she admired her Daughters strong will. Over the few months their relationship had blossomed and Regina hoped their bond would grow stronger the more time they spent together.

"Why don't you unpack and I'll give you a call when dinner's ready?" Regina suggested.

"Okay. Sure."

Danielle sat around the dinner table with her new family, Feeling slightly uncomfortable as they laughed and joked. She had never been in such a loving environment before, She had a lot to get used to and she feared she may never.

"Are you excited for tomorrow?" Henry asked over a mouthful of lasagne, Immediatly regretting the decision when he clocked his Mother's glare.

"Not really." Danielle murmured, pushing the food round her plate but making no actual attempt to eat it.

"C'mon, it ain't so bad. Everybody's pretty cool." Henry smiled, A few years ago it was him and his Mother. Now he had Robin, Roland and Danielle and suddenly he felt his family was complete.

"It just sucks being the new kid." Danielle pointed out, She had never played a different role. She was always the new kid, Never quite fitting in where others did. When she'd first arrived at Storybrooke she lived at Granny's Bed and Breakfast, Observing and over analysing everyone. That was before Emma showed up and put an end to her loneliness. She couldn't hate the blonde but she couldn't bring herself to be grateful, It was just another chance for her to screw up.

"You have more family than you know Danielle, Everyone will look out for you." Robin said a small smile gracing his lips. He didn't want to push the girl, He wanted her to like him of her own accord. He knew just how delicate her situation was and he wanted nothing more than to comfort her.

"I guess." Danielle finished, Only swallowing a mouthful of food when she noticed her Mother's concerned stare.

"Can you tell me about my dad?" Danielle asked cautiously.

"What would you like to know?" Regina sat on her Daughter's bed with a smile, She had mourned the loss of her first love and always kept him in her heart, Looking at her Daughter she realised that she wasn't the only one who lost him.

"Whatever you're comfortable sharing." The teen sighed tiredly but kept her focus on Regina, Her smile never dropping.

"Well I met him when I was 16, He worked as a stablehand for my father, Our love for horses brought us together. You look just like him you know, You have his eyes." Regina smiled brightly when she looked into her Daughter's icy blue pools, It reminded her of a time when everything was simple.

Danielle responded by holding her Mother's hands in hers, Her attention never once failing.

"He was kind and selfless and full of love. I dated him for two years before you came along."

"Then he died." Danielle said solemnly she saw the glint in her Mother's eyes vanish, The caramel orbs now getting darker with each passing second.

"Yes." Regina whispered feeling the familiar ache squeeze in her chest. It was painful to talk about such things but she imagined it would also be painful not knowing where you come from. She owed her Daughter that much.

"He loved you so much. When we found out I was pregnant I'd never seen him happier. He wanted you, I wanted you." Regina finished tenderly, Holding her Daughter once more with love. Regina couldn't regret the decisions she'd made back then, It was to ensure her child's safety. What she did regret however was the pain that her Daughter had experienced while growing up and she would spend every waking moment trying to erase that.
