Wow. I am overwhelmed. Thank you all so much for reading and reviewing. Guess I am continuing the tale.

I still do not own anything regarding OUAT. Just having a little fun.

Here's the start of Part 2!


Regina, Snow, and Charming sat in Regina's living room all at a loss of what to say. Regina had no idea what had happened. The scroll had been clear, to counter Pan's curse they all had to return to the Enchanted Forest. Why did they not go back and how in the hell did Snow White get so far advanced in a pregnancy. She appeared to be almost entering her third trimester. None of this made any sense.

It was the princess who finally spoke, "What do you think happened Regina? Are Henry and Emma alright?" Worry was clear on her face.

"I don't know," Regina whispered. she shook her head back and forth, "We should be back in the Enchanted Forest….I don't understand why we're not." She suddenly stood and walked across the room to look out the window. Henry was the main thing on her mind. Please let him be safe. Her heart ached at the thought of him, what she wouldn't give just to have him here wrapped in her arms. To know for sure that he was well, that he was protected.

Regina turned back around as Charming spoke, his hand resting on his wife's arm, "Clearly something else happened," his eyes indicating his wife's pregnant form.

Not knowing what else to do, the three made a plan to search around Storybrooke. They planned to talk to others to see if there had been any other drastic changes. Perhaps someone else had some knowledge on what had transpired in the last couple of hours. They agreed to meet back at Granny's. Something had definitely happened from the time Emma and Henry left Storybrooke until this very moment, Regina just had no idea what that was.


Regina decided that the first place she needed to get to was her vault. Once she had time to adjust to this new reality somewhat, she realized that magic seemed to be no longer present in Storybrooke. She had slightly panicked at the thought. If Peter Pan was still a threat she was going to need magic, which was why getting to her vault was foremost on her mind. Her car hummed to life and she set off on the familiar path towards the cemetery. Her mind swirled with various possibilities of what had happened for her counter spell not to have worked. Snow being fairly pregnant was the spoiler in everyone of those possibilities. That was the situation that threw her every single time. She couldn't quite imagine how Snow felt, this pregnancy thrust on her so suddenly. Regina was so lost in her thoughts, she startled when someone stumbled out onto the road in front of her. She let out a scream as her foot lunged for the brake. She had no time to swerve. Her car hit the person with a loud thud. The sound vibrated throughout the car making Regina feel dizzy. Shit….shit. As she rushed to get out of her car, she prayed she didn't just kill this person….she would never hear the end of it from the Charmings. As she got to the front of her car she saw a man laying there. He didn't look familiar to her but appeared to be around her age. The man groaned causing Regina to react. She crouched down beside him. "Are you alright?" she asked. She hoped he was fine, she did not have time to deal with this right now. She should have known better to be driving when she was so distracted.

The stranger groaned again, his eyes blinking as they opened, "What the hell was that," he moaned. His eyes, now fully open, looked at Regina as she hovered over him. She felt her breath hitch at his look, there was something about his eyes….she shook her head, coughing to clear her throat from the strange sensation.

"Are you well?" she asked.

"Do I look well?" he countered. "I was just hit by this.…this magical carriage," he indicated her car, his voice bewildered.

Magical carriage? Did he think he was in the Enchanted Forest? She froze as she came to a possible conclusion. Perhaps he did just come from the Enchanted Forest. Oh god. He went to stand and Regina reached out to grab his arm to help him up. As her hand came in contact with him, she felt a jolt race through her body. She pulled her hand away quickly from him. He must of felt it as well judging by the peculiar look on his face. Things felt... off. She looked him over, deciding that he seemed relatively unharmed….she needed answers. "Who are you?" she demanded. He looked so familiar to her.

"You are the one who just tried to kill me, who are you?" He seemed as aggravated as she was.

Her irritation flared, how dare he challenge her. "This is my town. Now tell me who you are before I call the sheriff," she growled. It was a threat more than anything, she'd rather eat her own hand than call Charming.

He took a step towards her, his eyes seemed to have come alive. He was enjoying the fact that he had made her annoyed. It was quite unnerving. "You will have to do better than a Sheriff to scare me," his voice was light and he grinned at her, "I've been out running those all my life."

That's when it hit her, where she recognized the face, Robin Hood. There had been wanted posters all over the Enchanted Forest. She stepped towards him this time, feeling as if she now had the upper hand knowing his identity. "Our Sheriff isn't quite as incompetent as the Sheriff of Nottingham….thief," she breathed out the name, relishing the anticipation of seeing Robin Hood's face fall when he realized she knew just who and what he was.

He simply laughed at her words, his eyes amused. Before she knew what was happening, he had grabbed her, spun her around so her back was against him holding her tightly. "What the hell are you doing?" she cried out, anger pouring out of her every pore.

She felt his hot breath on the back of her neck. "This is your doing, bringing us to this strange land, is it not? Just what do you want from us….your majesty?" his voice was low. Regina's head snapped to attention at his words, his recognition of her.

"I want nothing from you, this is not my doing," she snarled. She hoped it wasn't her doing anyway. "Now, unhand me," she demanded. He was really pissing her off.

His hold loosened somewhat but he still did not let go. "I know of your curse," he told her, "Your skill of lying is atrocious," he breathed into her ear. Suddenly her mind flashed to somewhere else; a blade gently on her neck, his voice, "your skills with the blade are atrocious", her nose nuzzling into his neck, kissing it seductively, and suddenly she was back, her heart racing at the memory. Was it a memory? It couldn't be. What the hell did he do to her? Her thoughts fell on Peter Pan, she would not be fooled by anyone again. She lifted her high-heeled clad foot, and with all her strength aimed for his groin. Once contact was made Robin immediately let go of her, yelling in pain. She turned to face him, watching as he doubled over, groaning. Before she could accuse him of using magic on her he grunted out, "I thought that per...perhaps you would resort to your trademark fireball, but….," he gasped for more air. "Never did I foresee you attempting to prevent me from having children." He looked up at her, his hands on his knees, still bent over.

She looked at him hunched over, there was something about him. He was definitely not a threat. She didn't know how she knew, she just knew. He slowly stood up regarding her as well. It was Regina who finally spoke,"I don't know what has happened but I did not transport you here on purpose…." She really did not know how to explain this situation, especially when she had no clue what was going on either. He continued to look at her when suddenly they were surrounded by many men holding various objects as weapons, all directed towards her. It looked like a hillbilly army. Regina fought the urge to roll her eyes at how ridiculous they all looked.

"Stand down men," Robin told them, his eyes still on her.

"Robin, that's the Evil...the Evil Queen," one of the men said confused.

"The Queen, yes. Weapons….," he looked around at what the men all held and slightly chuckled before continuing, "...are not needed. The men slowly lowered their things carefully watching Regina. Her eyes still watched the man called Robin Hood. It did not go unnoticed by her that he did not call her evil.

She cleared her throat and spoke to him, "If you wish to know all that I know, we're meeting in one hours time at Granny's," she indicated the diner down the street with her finger. With that said she held her head high and marched as gracefully to her car as she could. This meeting with Robin Hood and these men had left her with more questions than answers.


An hour had past and Regina had never made it to her vault. She now sat in Granny's diner with Snow, Charming, Belle, Tinkerbell, and a few others. Red, Archie, Neal were some of the people still out checking to see if things had changed in Storybrooke at all. The more stories that came in, the stranger the whole situation became. Rumple, Emma, and Henry were still gone. Pan and all the lost boys were no where to be found. Hook was missing, as were Blue and some of the older fairies. It also appeared that more than Robin Hood and his men had arrived in Storybrooke. Snow and Charming had also come upon Aurora, that girl Maleficent was not very fond of Regina remembered, and her husband Philip. Their story was almost as puzzling as Snow White's. Aurora was also pregnant, so pregnant she would be due any day. The strange fact being that she and Philip only recall finding out she was pregnant. They remembered none of the nine months that stood between that time. They went to bed one night, Aurora was three weeks pregnant, then they woke up in a different land nine months pregnant. Nine months. Regina had started to think perhaps her spell went wrong, instead of sending everyone back to the Enchanted Forest, she brought the people who still resided in the Enchanted Forest here to Storybrooke. Why the missing people though….and Snow's pregnancy….and nine months? Regina loathed this feeling of confusion that had haunted her for the past six hours. If she didn't start getting some answers soon she was sure she was going to go mad.

Granny's door chimed, Regina looked up to see the familiar figure of Robin Hood enter and for some reason her heart seemed to skip a beat. She watched as he scanned the room, unsure of his surroundings.

"Robin?" she heard Snow exclaim.

"Snow?" Robin's voice seemed to radiate relief. The two embraced and talked quietly to one another for a few moments. Of course Snow would know the idiot who jumped in front of her car and then tried to attack her. She straightened as Snow led him over to where they had been sitting.

"Robin, this is my husband David," she indicated Charming and the two men shook hands. The princess turned towards her, "And this is Regina."

"Ah, yes," Robin smiled slightly, "We have already met. She tried to run me over with her magical carriage," he talked to Snow, but his eyes watched Regina. His smile infuriated her. She simply rolled her eyes which only made him smile wider.

Snow looked slightly confused, "Her magical carriage?" Realization seemed to dawn on her face, as she gasped, "You hit him with your car?" she exclaimed, turning towards Regina.

"He's fine," Regina muttered.

Robin chuckled at her reply, his eyes amused, "That I am," he replied.

The chime rang once again throughout the diner, indicating another's presence. They all turned toward the sound. A woman entered this time, she seemed to be mid-30's, long reddish-brown hair….pretty enough, but also unfamiliar to Regina. Her eyes were wide and slightly fearful as she looked around. "Oh, excuse me," Robin said as he went immediately to the woman. They quickly embraced and Robin kissed her on the cheek. Regina felt something wash over her. She wasn't quite sure just what it was. Robin led her over to them, he smiled softly at the nervous woman, "This is my wife Marian," he told them. That surprised her, not once did she think that Robin Hood might be married. It….unsettled her, but she couldn't figure out why. What did she care if he was married or not, she didn't know him nor did she want to know him. Still the feeling plagued her as Robin introduced Marian to Snow and Charming. Finally they turned towards her, his eyes seemed unsure, "This is, uh….," he didn't know how to introduce her.

"The Evil Queen," his wife gasped, then threw her hand over her mouth in horror and fear that she had blurted out the name.

Regina felt indignation rise within her at the woman's words. She did not take pleasure in being called evil any longer. She never really did. "Regina," she bit out, trying to not sound too unpleasant. The woman nodded her head a little, but her arm clutched to Robin. Robin simply looked at Regina, his eyes appeared perplexed.

Snow had ushered them away then reassuring both Marian and Robin that they were all trying to figure out what had happened, including Regina. Sweet Snow once again trying to smooth things over. She heard small tidbits of the conversation between the four, they just appeared here in Storybrooke one night, how strange this land was, Charming and Snow promising that they would help them all adjust. David and Snow were being the loyal leaders that they were. Regina couldn't seem to stop her eyes from drifting to the man she had earlier hit with her car though. She couldn't shake that strange feeling she felt, especially that flash she had experienced when he had her locked in his arms. It was then that he looked over at her, their eyes locked in a intense hold. His eyes were so blue, so overwhelming, Regina felt her heart rate increase and had to look away. When she found the nerve to look again, Robin was staring at his wife. His wife.

Regina did not have any more time to reflect on this weird feeling that had consumed her when Aurora suddenly cried out in pain. "My baby," she gasped.

Many people had jumped into action. It seemed the young princess had went into labour. Great, Regina had briefly thought. She went about helping everyone clear some chairs so that Aurora could lay down. "Someone get the doctor," one of the dwarves had yelled.

Robin's wife, Marian, stepped forward, "I'm a midwife in the Enchanted Forest. I could be of assistance," she offered. A path was made for her as Aurora accepted her help, the young woman relieved to be getting help from a midwife from the only home she knew. Marian made some demands for wet cloths and very calmly set about to relax Aurora, her hand kindly caressing the girl's forehead. She was very sweet. Too sweet. It turned out to be a false labour but Marian had told them the time was growing near. Aurora had insisted that Marian be there when the time really did come. In just those thirty minutes Marian had become very popular among the residents of both Storybrooke and the Enchanted Forest, including Snow White and Charming. Regina felt troubled.

Once things had slowed down, Robin and Marian were preparing to leave with Snow and Charming. Snow had found them a lovely little place to stay. Regina watched them all as she sat on a stool at Granny's counter. She hadn't noticed it when she had first walked in but she now noticed that Marian walked with quite a limp. As the woman passed her, Regina spoke to her, "What happened to your leg?" It was rather blunt but Regina found herself not caring. Marian looked at her, a flash of irritation spread through her eyes, "It's just a war wound from some….unfortunate soul," she grinned slightly, a hint of wickedness there. She then walked over to Robin, wrapped her arms around his arm and placed a loving kiss on his cheek as the two walked out of the diner with the Charmings. Regina felt suspicion surround her. Something was definitely very wrong.


I struggled with the decision of what I ended up doing versus having everyone's memories being slightly altered so they thought all the other residents of the EF had always been apart of Storybrooke as well, but I stayed with my original plan. The witch had to change the original curse as little as possible so the wand would be easy to find. Things about her curse are different though. She did have to alter Robin and his men's minds to include her "Marian", but that wouldn't affect finding the wand. It allows her to mess with Regina though. Plus, who know's what Rumple has been up to on his end, he could have changed things as well. Again, I fully admit...there will most likely be plot holes...I'm no real author! Also, I couldn't pass up the opportunity for Robin to experience new things in a strange land.

I hope everyone will continue to enjoy this part of the journey. Thanks again for reading. Let me know what you thought!
