*Flashback
Annie rode a brown mare around the ring jumping pole after pole a smile on her face. After gracefully jumping the last one she rode up to her mother and grandfather.
"Mommy,grandpa did you see me?" She exclaimed. Regina helped her down.
"Of course I did dear, it was marvelous!" King Henry said. "My your getting so tall, you must be what, 20 yeas of age now right?" Henry said. Annie laughed.
"No grandpa I'm 7!" She said. Henry gasped.
"Really?" He asked. He picked her up and spun her around while Annie laughed and giggled.
"Mind if I join you?" Henry put Annie down.
"Daddy!" She yelled and ran to Daniel. Henry was the only person Regina and Daniel had entrusted with their secret.
"Hello darling." Daniel said hugging Annie. "I hate to break up the merriment but the queen requests your presence princess." He said.
"Mother. What could she possibly want this time?" The smile on Regina's face had left.
"Can I go with you mommy?" Annie asked.
"No sweetie. You remember what I said about the queen." Regina said.
"Stay away from her." Annie recited from memory. Regina kneeled in front of her.
"That's right. She's evil Annie and I don't want you ever to come into contact with her." Regina said.
"Mommy, daddy called you a princess. Am I a princess?" Annie asked. The three adults laughed.
"Of course you are dear. You will always be a princess." Regina said and hugged Annie.

When they got home Regina was infuriated to find Emma's car in front of her house.
"Annie stay in the car." Annie looked out the window and saw Emma waiting.
"Why is she here?" She asked. Regina sighed and opened the door. before she closed it she looked at Annie.
"Just stay here until I come get you okay?" She said. Annie nodded. Regina closed the door and walked up to Emma.
"Ms. Swan. Glad to see you follow directions." Regina said.
"I'm just trying to do my job." Emma said.
"Your job is to arrest the monster who hit my daughter." Regina said.
"I just need to ask her a few questions." Emma said.
"Well that's not going to happen so if you will please leave." Regina started walking back to the car.
"You going to have to tell her at some point." Regina spun around.
"What I do is none of your business." Regina was far beyond angry now. Who was Emma to tell her how to raise her child.
"You have to. " Emma said.
"Why?" Regina shot at her.
"Because if you don't, she will find out somehow and end up just like Henry." Emma said.
"You don't know her." Regina said.
"No but I do know that children don't like secrets, especially one as big as this. That's the reason Henry doesn't want you. Not because your the evil queen. He doesn't want you because of all the lies you told him and the secrets you kept from him. And you're doing the same exact thing to Annie." Emma said.
"Leave." Regina said. Emma walked past her to her car.
"You're hurting her Regina. Trust me." She said. She turned the key in the ignition and left. Regina stood silent. Was she really hurting her daughter? No. She wouldn't let the sheriff get to her. She felt in her pocket the magic bean she had stolen from the Charming's garden. It was the portal back to their world. She would use it to take her, Annie and Henry back to the enchanted forest. Annie would surely be thrilled, Henry on the other hand would take some convincing. She shook her head and walked to her car.
"You really don't like Ms. Swan do you." Annie said. Regina handed Annie the crutch she was supposed to use for three weeks until her ankle fully healed.
"It's complicated." Regina said. Annie found it was quite easy to use the crutch and made it to the front door faster than her mother expected. They walked in and Regina hung her coat in the closet.
"Annie are you hungry?" She asked.
"Starving." She answered. Regina went into the kitchen. While she was preparing ingredients she heard the soft sounds of the piano from the other room. She stopped for a moment and listened. Annie had been quite good when she was younger. Almost as good as she had been on a horse. Although with a stable boy as a father who wouldn't be. She frowned at the thought of Daniel. It sickened her that he would never be able to see his little girl again and it was all because of that rat Snow. Well, she won't be able to get to them in the enchanted forest. None of them will. It will be just the three of them.

"I'm telling you Mary-Margaret some girl randomly showing up in town isn't going to change her." Emma said. Snow handed her a mug of coffee.
"All I'm saying is Annie is part of the reason she hates me, with her being back maybe that will spark a bit of hope inside her." Snow said. Emma shook her head.
"You should have seen the way she looked at me. And the way she's neglecting Henry." She said. The look on her was disgust as she said the last sentence
"We'll change isn't instantaneous
and since you two didn't have the best relationship before I'm not surprised she's still a little hostile towards you. But neglecting Henry? Emma the woman lost her child an now has just gotten her back. All she's doing is trying to regain all the time she's lost kind of like me." Snow gave Emma a side long glance.
"She still hasn't told her." Emma said.
"Again I'm not surprised."
"Do you always have to be the voice of reason!" Emma said standing up.
"I'm just trying to make you understand where she's coming from." Snow said. Emma walked over and dumped out what was left of her coffee.
"I don't need that right now what I need is someone who agrees with me." At the moment the front door opened and Henry walked in.
"Hey Henry." Snow said.
"Henry, I think we should do some more investigation for operation cobra." Emma said. She picked up a walker talkie from the small table and handed it to him.
