The little girl wandered through the town of Storybrooke, everything was dark and there were few lights on.

She continued walking slowly through that strange place, not knowing where to go.

It was a cold night and the little girl was shaking with cold.

She walked to a bench and was so tired that she ended up lying there.

Ruby and Dorothy were returning to Granny's after a walk in the park.

Both were holding hands and laughing at a joke told by Ruby.

They walked quietly until Dorothy saw something on one of the city benches.

—Ruby, look over there.(Dorothy pointed to the bench.) I can not believe she's a child, is she?

—Let's go there.

The two women approached the small child who seemed to sleep soundly.

Ruby sat down beside the girl as Dorothy bent down to look at her.

—Come on, little one.(Dorothy called as she lightly stroked her arm) Wake up, honey.

The little girl opened her eyes and sat down on the puzzled bench. The little girl looked at Dorothy and Ruby very afraid.

—Do not worry, we will not hurt you.

—What's your name?(Dorothy asked quietly.)

The little girl just bit her bottom lip and looked at her bare feet.

—Okay, you do not want to talk. All right. You must be cold.(Ruby said taking off her coat.)

—And you must be hungry (Dorothy said) Would you like to accompany us to eat?

The girl looked at Dorothy as if she could see if she was lying and after a long time she nodded and then Dorothy took the girl in her lap and the three of them went inside the granny's.

As soon as they arrived at the restaurant, Ruby called the charming's, Emma, Killian and Regina.

In a few minutes they were there to see what it was.

—Thank you for coming quickly," Ruby said as she approached them.

-What happened? (Mary Margaret asked her friend)

—Me and Dorothy find a lost child in town." (She said and pointed to a booth)

—What's her name?(Emma asked.)

—She did not mean it, she just bowed her head ...She just nodded, only to know that she was from the enchanted forest.

—Let's see if we can talk to her.

The girl was eating next to Dorothy, she would take little bites on the sandwich while Dorothy tried to make her talk.

The little girl had fine features and moved like royalty. She had dark hair and some curls at the end and had stormy blue eyes, the most beautiful ever seen in all realms.

As soon as the girl saw Regina and Killian she grinned and jumped over Dorothy to find the woman.

She hugged Regina with all the strength she had and started to cry.

Regina stared blankly, but bent down in front of the girl and let herself be hugged.

—You're here!you're here!" (She said during the crying)I finally found you!

The other occupants of the dinner stared blankly, and saw that even Regina herself did not understand what was happening.

—My love.(Regina made the girl look at her.) Who are you?

—Your daughter, Coraline.(She said as she placed both hands on Regina's face.)You're here and I'm glad to be here too, this place is so weird Mom!(She looked at Killian) And you're here, Daddy ! (She said excitedly)

—Daddy?" (Emma looked at Killian)

—It's impossible,(Killian said and laughed.)

Regina stood and the girl stood in front of Killian.

—You do not believe me?(The girl said as she folded her arms across her chest.)I tell you the truth, I'm Coraline Esperanza Jones, Princess Coraline!(She said angrily.)

Regina could feel the girl's frustration as if they were waves of magic, something that made her look at that little angry and confused one.

Could she have a daughter? A daughter with Killian? Which had honored her own mother, she had been through many strange situations, but this was certainly the strangest situation.

—Coraline .. (she said softly)

—You gave me that name in Homage to Grandma Cora. (She looked at Regina) You felt like you wanted something good to remind Grandma.

—It's impossible (Regina repeated)

The girl returned to Regina and raised her arms, indicating that she wanted to be carried and Regina took it.

The girl put her hand on Regina's cheek and concentrated on trying to do the little magic her mother had taught her so many years ago.

And she succeeded, she made her own magic pass to Regina, and the magic of the two seemed to merge into one.

Those who looked from the outside saw the magic between the two, as a protective shield, had the light pink color ..

—You feel, I'm a part of you.(Coraline said with tearful eyes) You know I'm yours, your daughter ... Our magic is one, do not you, Mom?

Regina felt a lump build up in her throat and she felt so strong that this person was hers.

—I feel, you're mine.(She declared and hugged the girl.)

The magic stopped and the girl laid her head on Regina's shoulder. It was impossible, but she felt that little girl as a small part of her.

Killian could not believe it, it was impossible! They could not have a daughter, such a powerful bond.

—That's a lie!(Killian declared.)It's a spell Queen did!"

—She's real!(Regina growled in anger and straightened the girl in her arms) I feel it.

-I do not believe ... Evil queen did it just to make us fight, She wants to split us up! (He said and Emma held it)

—Daddy!Please..(The little girl called between tears)

—Regina, we should know where that child came from.(David said.)Let's take her to the convent.

-I'M GOING TO BE WITH MAMA! (Coraline screamed and hugged Regina's neck)I WILL NOT BE SEPARATE FROM HER AGAIN!

—Please, Regina, let's take her to the fairies (Mary Margaret said)

—Don't let them take me mama (Coraline said between sobs) I'll be good this time, Mom, I promise I'll be a good girl.

Regina remembered when her mother took Zelena away from her, her words were similar to what Zelena said, but unlike that time Regina was no longer a child, she would not let anyone take the girl away.

She felt a rage burning inside her and seeing the sadness in the eyes of that small being.

—No one tells me what to do, I'll stay with the girl!(Regina growled angrily and stood in front of Killian)Do not go near her, none of you need to get near her, she's my responsibility now.(She looked at the group and then at Killian and Emma) I've already raised a child by myself, I can create another one without problems.

-Regina .. (David called her) Think a little.

—Think about what? Leave her alone with those fairies?Think again, Shepard, never.

—Regina, I'm the sheriff, give me the girl.(Emma said as she reached for the child.)

—You may be the Sheriff, but I'm still a Queen.

Regina raised her hand to the air and she and Coraline disappeared from the restaurant.

—Regina is crazy!(Killian groaned angrily) It's impossible!

—She smells like you do (Ruby said hugging her girlfriend) A nice mix if you'd like to know.

H.h.H

Regina and Caroline went to the mansion.

As soon as they entered, Regina showed the rooms downstairs to Coraline and explained how things were in that new realm (for the girl was confused with the new world), after explaining the basics, Regina took Coraline to take a hot bath.

Regina filled the tub, filled her with bubbles, and then helped the girl out of the clothes she wore.

As soon as she was inside the tub, Caroline asked her mother.

—Daddy hates me?(she asked as she played with the bubbles)

—No, my love.(Regina gave the girl a small smile.)

—So, is Dad crazy?" (She looked at Regina)

—He's confused, like everyone else.( Regina said as she shampooed her hair.)

—You do not remember, do you?(She asked.)

—No.(Regina admitted).close your eyes (The little girl closed and Regina rinsed her hair and then ran the conditioner and rinsed it too)

You said you would not remember, said it was better this way.(She said sadly.)

—But I'll remember, I promise (Regina said) Come on, let's get out of that bath (She helped the girl get up from the tub and wrapped her in a towel) Put on a pajamas and go eat that you did not finished eating your sandwich.

Coraline nodded and dressed with the help of Regina who made pajamas and undergarments appear with magic.

After being dressed and having her hair combed, Coraline went down with Regina to have dinner.

While Regina warmed up a piece of lasagna for a girl, she scanned the room.

There was a sofa, a fireplace, a couch. She saw something on a small table that resembled a small-scale table.

It was a picture of Regina with a boy, and she looked happy.

—That's my son,(Regina said as she approached Coraline.)His name is Henry.

—Like Grandpa.(Coraline muttered.)Is Daddy Henry's daddy too?"

—No, he's adopted.(Regina said as she leaned down beside her.)Emma, the blond woman in the restaurant is his mother, the one with blood.

—Oh yes, (She put the picture in place.) Did you put him in my place because you felt very alone?

-He did not take his place (Regina made her turn to look at her) I love you as much as I love Him.

Coraline hugged Regina and closed her eyes. She did not know yet if the girl was real, she felt she should love and take care of that girl.

—I've missed you every day,(Coraline murmured.)I know you do not remember now, but I know that one day you will remember Mommy.

—I'll go, I promise.

Regina got up and held her hand, and they went to the kitchen.

Coraline ate the piece of lasagna and after eating they went to sleep.

—I'll get you a room,(Regina said as the two of them climbed the stairs.)

—I want to sleep with you, Mom.(She said, hugging Regina's leg.)Please, it's been so long.

Regina took a deep breath and took the girl in her lap and headed toward her room.

—okay Little One, for today you can sleep with me, but you will have your own room soon.

—All right, Mom." (She said, smiled and hugged Regina)

Regina smiled and hugged her. As soon as they arrived in the room, Regina put her on the bed and covered her with the duvet.

—I'm going to change my clothes, I'll be right back.

Coraline nodded and settled into the covers.

When she came back from the bathroom, Regina turned off the bedroom lights and went to lie down next to the girl.

Coraline waited for Regina to lie down on the bed and as soon as she lay down, the girl snuggled into Regina and hugged her.

—Good night, Mom, I love you very much.(Coraline said and yawned right away)

—Good night Coraline, have Sweet dreams.

—I'm in a dream, Mom, I'm glad I finally found you, it took forever,(She murmured sleepily.)

Regina kissed the little girl's forehead and then fell asleep next to her, already Regina was awake for a while watching the little girl. She had already fought so much during her life, it was clear that she would fight to stay with Coraline, that sweet a girl who in a few hours together had already conquered her heart.
