I hope you enjoy this chapter. I don't think that there will be that many left in this story. So if you have anything to say, please let me know. I would love to hear opinions before I write and post the last sentence.

"You want me to go now" Mary Margaret said, she hadn't thought this far forward in her role.

"Actually not yet" Gold said. "I need to collect some…data." Gold said.

"Data?" Regina asked weakly.

"What your body is going through can tell me a lot, your mother agreed to it." Gold answered as he approached Regina.

"I don't see how I can say no." Regina replied as Mr. Gold snatched a piece of her hair and storing it away. He need took her hand and pricked her finger, squeezing out a few drops of blood. When he let go of her hand it fell limply to her side.

"And now for a tear?" Gold prompted as he held a vial under Regina's eye. She blinked and let a tear fall, they were not hard to come by in her current state. "Thank you, Mary Margaret you may proceed" he said finally stepping back and taking his place as an observer

"I don't know what to say" Mary Margaret said nervously as she approached Regina.

"Just tell her what you remember about Danielle, anything could help to reinforce and bring back the memories." Gold replied.

"I promise I won't rip out your heart." Regina said, looking up at Mary Margaret expectantly.

"Ok. Well I remember when I found out that I was going to be a sister. There was so much talk around the castle, one of the most popular topics of conversation was guessing the gender. It seemed like everyone expected the baby to be a boy or wanted it to be a boy. But I wanted a sister more than anything. And when she was born and I found out that I indeed did have a sister I was so thrilled. And I loved the name Danielle. I remember just a few days after she was born, perhaps it was even the same day I laid my finger in her palm and she grabbed it. It was magical, I know it is so cliché, but it really was special. You stopped being so attentive to me after that, but it was a price that I was willing to pay. I always wondered before Danielle was born if you cared for me because you had to as my step mother or because you wanted to. We had some moments, but there always seemed to be a wall. And then Danielle was born and you had a daughter of your own. I still spent plenty of time with her though; the three of us spent time together. My father would sometimes refer to us as the three women in his life. He truly cared for Danielle, but he didn't spend very much time with her. After her death I think that is something that he regretted."

"Why don't you tell about one particular memory you have of Danielle and then continue from there." Gold prompted.

"I remember before her Christening, the two of us picked out a dress for her together. She behaved so well as we tried her in several different white dresses. I quite liked the one that I wore, it had been saved. But instead we picked a new one, it was inlayed with flowers and there were jewels sewn into the bottom. It was certainly fit for a princess. She was so small. When the two of you spent time together when she was an infant sometimes I would come in and tell her stories, some of the same ones that my mother told me. But I think the ones that she liked the most were the ones that I made up. They were usually about fairy princess sisters who went on grand adventures within their kingdom. I would whisper in her ear that when she got bigger we could go on adventures like the fairy princess sisters. When she got bigger, big enough to walk she spent more time with you and less with the three of us. But sometimes we would go horseback riding together. That was something that you always encouraged me to do after that time you saved me riding the horse. Before Danielle was large enough to ride by herself she would sit in front of you on your horse or sometimes in front of me on mine. She told me once that she felt like she was flying like the fairy princesses when she was on the horse.

Then you got pregnant again and as your mother said you lost the baby and were quite sick afterwards. Danielle and I were both heartbroken. She was so worried about you, and would ask me all sorts of questions. We spent a lot of time together that week, drawing mainly. By then Danielle had decided that she wanted to be the one telling me stories, not the other way around. She told stories of a princess who disguised herself, and pretended not to be a princess and saved the day and fought villains. Then one day she decided that she wanted to go horseback riding which was something that you were always present for. I told her to wait till you got better. But she was stubborn, when Danielle got an idea in her mind she stuck to it. So she went and asked you if she could ride and you gave your permission as long as she listened to me. But while riding I decided that I wanted to test my limits and ride fast. Danielle copied me, or I thought that is what caused the accident that supposedly killed her. I told you this after her death, it wasn't long after then that you stopped speaking of her. I guess that is when you took the potion." Mary Margaret finished.

Regina just stared at Mary Margaret, with a blank look.

"I'm so glad that she is alive and well and I hope that we can have some more time together… the three of us." She spoke again.

"We should go riding, it is so fortunate that Storybrooke has stables." Regina said in a voice that sounded like it came from somewhere else.

"Do you remember Regina, Danielle do you know who she is?" Gold asked her, wondering if it actually worked.

"I still owe her that game of adventure time; I promised we would go once I got better." Regina spoke again before he eyes rolled back into her head.

"What is happening to her?" Mary Margaret asked.

Gold waved his hand, releasing any of the magic on Regina that bound her, numbed her pain and paralyzed her body. But Regina continued laying there motionless. After a moment he simply said, "I don't know."
