Chapter 2
The little secret
The mother stared down fondly at her daughter, raping her up warmly in the
small blanket that was taken from her own bed, she brushed a soft chestnut brown hair from the child's forehead, "you remember what to do" the woman said, the child nodded but just to be shore the mother explained one more time "when they come in to give mama her pills you must hide behind the door as always, then sneak out though the door down the corridor and up the stairs, just get out of the building without being see ok Rose" he girl nodded once more. Just then they heard a noise from outside the door.
Belle placed a kiss on her daughter's forehead, then they got in to position, the door opened to reveal three people in white coats "hello belle, it's time for you medication" said the woman as the two men came behind her to hold her down, belle struggled "medication being the operative word for shoving lodes of pointless pills down my throat" the woman rolled her eyes "now dear you know we only do it for your health, and any way it not the pills, it's your monthly vaccine today" Belle heart plummeted, she remembered the last vaccine she had, it made her unconscious for two day leveeing her poor Rose almost starved by the time she woke up. She had kept her little rose a secret from the doctors and the evil queen ever snits they came to this world and rose appeared in in the cell with her. For some odd reason the queen didn't know about rose and didn't know what power she had, so Belle did her best to hide her from them. But now that time was moving again, she had to let her little angel go, and hopefully Rose will be able to lead someone here to help her.
Meanwhile after watching her mama get jabbed with a needle Rose had escaped the cell and was on her way up the stairs into the crowded hospital. She dogged around corners and though hall way to avowed being seen, she then hitched a ride on a trolley holding window cleaning equipment hitting her head on the way and road out the door, then she was free.
The streets of storybrooke were crowded at the end of school rush, Henry was on his way to the sheriff's station to see his mom, his real mom not the evil queen who had curst everyone here. As he passed an alleyway at the back of a fishing store he code heir a faint whimpering sound coming from behind a bin. Henry took a deep breath and waked towards the sound ready to face the beast head on. But it wasn't a beast at all, it was a baby, well I say baby more like very small child Henry thought to himself, the child looked to be no less than two years old, with a head full of chestnut hair, pale skin with a yellow-sh ting and beep brown eyes, Henry also noted she wore nothing but a small blanket and a pillowcase with ripped holes in it for the head and arms, (sort of like the thing dobby would were in harry potter only cleaner) Henry then noticed the small cut on her forehead that had a slit trickle of blood seeping from it, this girl needed help Henry decided.
He edged closer to her so as not to frighten her, then spoke softly "hay" her head sprang up and she back away in fear "hay hay hay is ok" he said soothingly "I won't hurt you, are you lost?" she didn't answer "are you hungry?" he asked pulling out a chocolate bar from his bag, opening it and held it out to her "its ok it's just chocolate here" she looked at it wearily, then move forward slowly and took a small piece of candy and ate it, after a moment she smiled and reached for more, thus falling into Henry's lap, he laughed "you like that don't you, what happened to your head" she looked sad again "owy" she said in a small timid voice tears began to fill her eyes again, "hay it ok I'll take you to my mom, she'll fix you up, it doesn't look to bad, come on" he stood up slowly lifting her up with him and headed off to the sheriff's station again.
Emma swan looked up when she herd the door open and close, then she heard the familiar voice of her son "hay Emma, we need your help" Emma's eye brow furled "what do you mean we kid…oh" she then sore her son walk in with a two year old girl in his arms and her heart warmed at the site of the tiny little thing, so venerable. The small piece of the motherly instanced within her was reaching out to the girl, apishly when she sore that cut on the girls head she gasped "here give her to me Henry" The girl was crying now as Henry past her over "shshshhhh it's ok its ok, where did you find her Henry" she asked her son "in an alleyway behind the fishing store, is she gona be ok" Emma inspected the cut "it doesn't look deep, just pass me that first aid kit over there".
After cleaning the cut and putting a plaster on it, the child had calmed down and was now playing with a paper bird Henry had made her, Henry and Emma were now talking about what to do with her "well first of we start by sending out the word that we found a missing baby see if any one comes to calm her" Emma said " what do we do with her until then" Henry asked, Emma thought for a while, what would they do with her " your right were can we keep her, I mean we can hardly stick her in the lost property box and hope for best can we" Henry brightened up "you can look after her" Emma blanched "what me but I can race a child even if it's for a short time" Henry shook his head "you can you did it with the Zimmer kids and if we let Regina handle it she'll just hand her over to the foster system and you know what that is like" he had a point, she'd been in the foster system and she wouldn't wish it on her worst enemy, let allow a baby " ok but only for a little while" Henry punched the air "yesss you here that Rosy, your gona live with Emma" Rosy clapped her hands in excitement, Emma frowned " wait Rosy is that her name" Henry shrugged "I don't know I asked her on the way here and she pointed to a rose bush when we past game of thorns" "ohhh" Emma nodded as she got her coat of the rack. Then she picked up Rose and placed her on her hip "come on kid your mom will be worried about you and probably woop my ass for it, I can't think how Mary Margret will reacted when I come home with a baby" she said as they headed out the door.
