"You're my mom." Before Regina can think the door opens. Emma, Charming and Snow are standing before them. The girl standing next to Regina looks terrified. For some strange reason the former queen has a strong urge to pull the girl close and comfort her. But she doesn't.

"Regina, you need to come with us." Emma says. "To the station."

"No." The girl says firmly. "You aren't taking her anywhere. You're under a curse!"

"No. The curse has broken, the curse this women cast." Charming answers.

"You just don't remember! This has already happened! It's been years and now we're all a family!" Claire cries. This was going to be harder than even she could have imagined. She had never seen the Charmings look so angry.

"What are you talking about?" Emma demands. "Who are you?"

"My name is Claire. I'm Regina's daughter." The teen tries to explain. "I can prove it." With that Claire closes her eyes and waits for the familiar feeling to take over. The white light shoots from her hand. The others watch in amazement as Claire's magic takes over and lifts her from the ground. "See, Emma, you helped me learn how to do that."

"If you really are Regina's daughter...then who may I ask is your father?" Snow asks curiously. Claire lowers herself back to the ground.

"Robin Hood." She answers before adding. "But he's not here yet. He's still in the Enchanted Forest, he didn't get to Storybrooke until the second curse."

"You set off a second curse!" Charming accuses glaring at Regina. Claire sighs in frustration.

"Okay, you're missing the point." Claire interrupts before a full on fight can break out. "I need to speak with my mother."

"She's dangerous." Emma replies. Claire shakes her head. Even if her mother was still in a bad place Claire didn't fear her. Not in the slightest. And besides, right now Regina was powerless. "Claire, she has to be locked up. Not just for her safety but for everyone else's." Knowing she only had one option left, Claire takes her mother's hand and they disappear. Claire The destination Claire had chosen was far too obvious and it was only a matter of time before the others found them. The vault looks exactly the same, which is a strange comfort to Claire. She begins searching rapidly. Regina watches but doesn't say anything. Claire keeps tearing through stuff until she finds it. The letter Cora had written. She grins victoriously before giving it to her mother.

"What's this?" Regina asks taking the parchment.

"Proof." Claire says hopefully. Claire knew this could go wrong and her mother could hate her even more. She watches Regina's face as she reads the note. Tears fill her eyes as she realizes that Claire was telling the truth. Regina looks up, finally meeting her daughter's eyes. She starts shaking, indicating that the crying was about to get a lot heavier. Without a second thought Claire hugs her mother tightly and starts to cry as well. She had done it. She'd found her mom. She knew it was only the beginning, but things would be much easier if had her mother by her side.

"Mommy." Claire breathes.

"I...I don't know what to say." Regina admits pulling back a little. "I wish I remembered…"

"We'll figure it out." Claire promises. "Oh and...don't be mad because it was the only way I could find you and….well….Cora's here." She watches her mother's expression change, not to anger but to fear.

"Here? As in Storybrooke!?" Regina gasps. Claire nods. "Claire, you have to stay away from her."

"She got me to you." Claire reminds her mother. Regina nods.

"My mother is a very manipulative woman. I won't risk it. Promise me you'll stay away from her. At least until we can figure things out." Claire nods.

"I promise." With that Claire leans back into her mother's embrace. She knew that her mother wasn't a touchy feely person normally. Especially in this point in her life. But Regina doesn't hesitate to hug her daughter back. Claire had missed this even though for her it hadn't been that long since she's gotten her mother's comfort.

To Regina and Claire's surprise, no one had came to the vault all night to find them. When they awaken in the morning, however, the sound of the casket being moved causes them both to worry. Claire had helped Regina get her magic working, but Regina didn't want to have to use it. Claire had done her best to explain how much Regin had changed, and how she had even used light magic. Regina wanted that, she wanted her family back and so she was trying to be better.

"Mom?" A voice calls. Henry. Claire almost runs to hug her brother, but remembers that he doesn't know who he is. "Mom?" He rounds the corner to see his mother sitting closely to Claire, almost protectively.

"Henry." Regina smiles. "What are you doing here?"

"Is this her?" He asks gesturing toward Claire. Claire picks up on his jealousy right away. Some things were obviously the same. Regina nods, absentmindedly smiling at her daughter.

"Yes, this is Claire." Regina answers.

"You should turn yourself in." Henry says changing the subject. "Then they won't try to kill you."

"No!" Claire exclaims. "How could you say that!?"

"I know her better than you do." Henry answers furiously.

"No. You don't." Claire growls rising. She suddenly feels protective of her mother. "All you see is evil. If you really knew her you'd see the good in her."

"Claire." Regina says softly. She places a hand on her daughter's shoulder, which instantly calms the teen down. "It's okay."

"You can't leave me." Claire replies with a quivering lip. "I can't do this without you."

"Yes you can." Regina insists. "I know you can."

"Emma is waiting outside." Henry says. Regina nods and begins to follow her son before stopping and turning back to her daughter. She pulls Claire into a tight embrace. Claire sobs, knowing she'd have to figure this out on her own. Her mother was going to jail, her father was in a different realm and the rest of her family didn't know who she was.

"You're going to be just fine. I believe in you." Regina says.

"I don't want to loose you again." Claire cries.

"You won't. I'll be back soon, until then, you are going to have to find a way to get everyone's memories back. And remember, stay away from Cora." Claire nods and watches as Regina leaves. She sighs, wondering how she was supposed to complete this impossible task alone.
