Chapter 39

Hi all! Here's the next chapter for you! LyssLovesShules33 was looking forward to some Hanna coddling. I made sure to add some in for you! :) OnceInPanem asked for Emma and Hanna to talk about Emma and Hook's relationship. I will try to find a spot for that too in the upcoming chapters! One guest asked for some more Snow and Hanna moments and another guest wanted a particular scene with Elsa. I added some Hanna/Snow in this chapter and the Elsa scene will be in the next one! I just want you all to know that I see your requests and try my very best to fit them all in for you :) Please feel free to give me some more! I hope you like the chapter! Enjoy :)

Hanna slowly opened her eyes and looked around the room. She was in her parents' bed. She tried to sit up, but her head was killing her. It was a little better since Regina had used her magic to fix her, but not by much. She was determined though, she did not feel like laying down anymore. Hanna forced herself to sit up and leaned back against the headboard. Her eyes glanced around the apartment. She was hoping to see Emma, but she wasn't there. She didn't see her dad either, which meant he was probably still out looking for Emma. Her mom came into view and saw that she was awake and hurried over. Hanna let out a sigh, she didn't want her mom fussing over her.

"Hey sweetie. How's your head?" Snow asked as she gently ran her hand across the spot on Hanna's head where she had gotten hit. It looked completely healed, but Snow knew Hanna would still be in pain.

"Where's Dad?" Hanna asked, she knew the answer to that, but she was trying to change the subject.

"Hanna, how is your head feeling?" Snow asked her once again.

"Did he find Emma yet? Do you know where she is?"

"You answer my questions first, then I'll answer yours," Snow told her.

"Okay…hurts a little, but I'm fine," Hanna told her with a shrug of her shoulders. She knew her mom wouldn't buy that it didn't hurt at all.

"Just a little?" Snow asked with a raise of her eyebrows.

"Mhmm," Hanna said, as she looked down trying to avoid her mother's gaze. She was good at lying to just about everyone but her.

"Tell me the truth," Snow said as she gently lifted her chin.

"I'm fine Mom," Hanna said with a roll of her eyes.

"Hanna…"

"Alright…it hurts a lot," Hanna said quietly.

"That's what I thought," Snow said with a sigh. She was hoping Hanna's head wouldn't be hurting anymore, but she knew it would be. Snow got up and left the room.

Where is she going? Hanna thought as she leaned her head back and closed her eyes, which seemed to help some.

"Here, take these," Snow said as she sat on the edge of the bed and held out two pills to her daughter.

"Thanks," Hanna said as she gratefully took them.

"You're welcome," Snow said as she gave her a glass of water.

"How long did Regina say this would last?" Hanna asked as she handed the glass back to her mom.

"She didn't," Snow said as she held out an ice pack to Hanna. "Here put this on your head for awhile."

"Mom, no," Hanna whined as she shook her head. She hated those things. They were too cold and Hanna was pretty sure they didn't even help anyway.

"Hanna please…just for a few minutes," Snow said.

Hanna just looked up at her mom, giving her the eyes. She knew it rarely worked on her, but she had to try…

"Hanna, if your head doesn't start to get better, we'll have to take you to the hospital," Snow told her, ignoring the look she was giving her.

"Fine," Hanna grumbled as she took the ice pack from her mom and placed it against her head. She didn't want to have to go there. "I don't need it though."

"Of course you don't…just humor me. Now, please lay back and relax."

"Have you heard from Dad? Do they know where Emma is?" Hanna asked as she leaned back against the headboard again.

"I just got a text from him before you woke up…they haven't found her yet," Snow said with a sigh. She was really worried about Emma and felt guilty about how she had handled the situation earlier. She needed to talk to her daughter.

"Mom, they have to find her. I need to talk to her….this is all my fault," Hanna said in a panic as she sat up, dropping her icepack.

"Your fault?" Snow asked, not sure why Hanna would think that. "Sweetie no…"

"It is!" Hanna exclaimed as tears started falling down her face. "I…I shouldn't have pushed her. I should have left her alone when she said…." Hanna just let her face fall into her hands as she started to cry.

"Hanna, no…this is not your fault," Snow said as she pulled Hanna into her arms and held her close.

"Yes…it…is," Hanna said in between her sobs as she leaned into her mom for comfort.

"Shhh…" Snow said as she rubbed soothing circles on Hanna's back, trying to get her to calm down. She knew getting this upset would only make Hanna's head hurt even more than it already did.

"I'm sorry," Hanna said with a sniffle as she looked up at her mom once she had calmed down a bit.

"It's not your fault, baby. I promise," Snow said as she placed a kiss on the top of her head. "I'm the one that yelled at her," Snow sighed as feelings of guilt and regret flooded her thoughts once more.

"You didn't mean it," Hanna told her.

"But I still did it."

"And I still pushed her when I shouldn't have. You never would have yelled at her if I had just left her alone," Hanna said.

"Hanna…" Snow said with a sigh. She was running out of ways to convince her daughter that it wasn't her fault.

"Well, the Snow Queen did have her all out of sorts before we even got there, so it's really her fault," Hanna said with a small grin, she still knew it was her fault though.

"I suppose she did," Snow said, but she still felt Emma running away was on her. She shouldn't have reacted that way.

"Mom, you should be out there. You need to help find her."

"I need to be here with you. You need me right now," Snow said as she gently wiped a stray tear from her daughter's face. "Your dad, Killian, Regina…they'll find her."

"No, I'm fine. You're the best tracker out of all of them. You need to go look for her. Please, Mommy!" Hanna begged.

"Hanna…" Snow couldn't deny that she wanted to be out there looking for Emma, she needed to find her baby and bring her home, but Hanna was hurt and needed her too.

"Please! Please go help them," Hanna said as she started to cry again.

"Okay, baby. Just try to calm down," Snow said as she pulled Hanna close.

Once she could no longer hear cries, Snow picked up the icepack and gently placed it against Hanna's head.

"No, Mommy," Hanna groaned as she tried to push the icepack away

"Just for a few minutes Hanna. Just try to go to sleep," Snow said as she gently pushed Hanna's arm down and covered it with the blanket.

"Okay…" Hanna mumble as she stopped fighting her mom and just closed her eyes.

Snow looked down a few minutes later to find Hanna fast asleep. Snow sighed with relief, knowing sleep would help Hanna's head. Snow leaned back, trying to decide what she should do…stay here with Hanna or go look for her other daughter that needed her too.

Hanna rolled over and opened her eyes to find Henry sitting next to her.

"Henry! Did you find Emma?" Hanna asked excitedly as she sat up. Her head felt much better than it did earlier. Still some pain, but definitely not as much.

"I don't know if they did. They made me come home," Henry said with a sigh.

"I'm sorry," Hanna said with a frown. "Where's my mom?" Hanna asked, surprised she hadn't rushed in here with more medicine and the icepack already.

"She went out to look for Emma too," Henry told her.

"Really?"

"Yeah, she said you were begging her to go out and look for her, so she did."

"Yeah, I kind of did," Hanna said with a shrug of her shoulders, thankful that her mom had left the part out about her crying uncontrollably as she asked. "Wait, so are we here alone?" Hanna asked excitedly.

"What do you think?" Henry asked her with a raise of his eyebrows.

"Who's here with us?" Hanna asked with a roll of her eyes.

"Granny, she's pretty occupied with Neal though. He's been fussy."

"Really?" Hanna smirked.

"Don't even think about it," Henry told her. He knew she was already formulating an escape plan.

"Come on, Henry. We need to find her."

"We will…let's just wait for the right time," Henry told her with a grin. "I'll be right back."

Hanna was relieved. She thought her best friend had gotten soft on her. She should have known Henry would have a plan.

"Here, Grandma told me to give you these," Henry said as he held out two pills and a glass of water.

"Thanks," Hanna said as she took them.

"And this," Henry said as he gave her the icepack.

"Uh…no, I'm not using that," Hanna said as she tossed it to the other side of the bed. "But if my mom asks, I used it."

Henry just rolled his eyes. "Whatever…just eat your soup then. This order came from Granny and I wouldn't defy her right now if I were you."

"Alright," Hanna said as she picked up her spoon and ate her dinner. She was pretty hungry.

While they waited for everyone to return, the kids talked about their plan to go find Emma. They had to plan it just right, so they wouldn't get caught. Henry was pretty sure they would be able to get out of here without a problem. They stopped talking quickly when the front door opened. They looked up hoping to see Emma, but it she wasn't there. Henry got up to see what information he could get from them. Hanna just stayed where she was…she didn't see the point in going out there if Emma wasn't there.

"Hey kiddo," David said as he came into the room and sat on the bed next to Hanna.

"No luck?" Hanna asked, already knowing the answer.

"No, we couldn't find her," David said with a sigh.

"She doesn't want to be found," Hanna said as she looked down.

"No, I don't think she does, but we're not giving up on her. We'll keep looking," David told her.

Hanna just nodded her head.

"Come here," David said as he pulled her into his arms. "How are you feeling?"

"A lot better. My head barely hurts now," Hanna told him.

"Good," Charming said as he gave Hanna a kiss on the forehead.

"Hey sweetie, how's your head," Snow asked as she came into the room.

"It's better, Mom," Hanna said.

"I see you put this to good use," Snow said as she held up the melted icepack she found on the other side of the bed.

"I used it a little bit," Hanna lied.

"Uh, huh…" Snow said with a raise of her eyebrows. "Did you at least eat something?"

"Yeah, Granny made soup."

"Good, let's get you another dose of pain meds before bed then," Snow said as she left the room.

"Dad, it really doesn't hurt that much anymore," Hanna told him.

"If it hurts at all you still need to take something. It'll help. By morning, I'm sure you'll be all better."

"Alright," Hanna said. She took the pills her mom gave her without complaint.

"Okay, why don't you lay down and get some sleep. It's past your bedtime," Snow said as she went to get Hanna snuggled under the covers.

"I want to go sleep in my own bed," Hanna said as she threw the blankets off of herself and started to get up.

"Are you sure? What if your head bothers you in the night and…" Snow started to say.

"I'm fine Mommy, I promise," Hanna told her with a smile.

"Alright, we'll be here if you need anything," Snow told her.

"Let me at least take you up," Charming said.

"Daddy, no…" Hanna started to protest, but she was already up in her father's arms.

"Give your mom a kiss goodnight," he said as he leaned Hanna over so she could reach Snow.

Hanna rolled her eyes, but gave her mom a kiss on the cheek. "Goodnight Mom. I love you."

"Love you too, baby. See you in the morning," Snow said with a smile.

"Alright princess, sleep tight," Charming said once he was upstairs and placed Hanna in her bed, covering her up with her blankets.

"Goodnight, Dad. Love you," Hanna told him.

"I love you too," Charming said as he gave her a kiss goodnight.

"Night, Gramps," Henry said as he came into the room.

"Goodnight Henry," Charming said before giving Henry a hug and heading back downstairs.

"Okay, so that part of the plan is complete," Hanna said with a sigh of relief. This was phase one…convincing her parents to let her sleep up here. When she was sick her mom liked her to be downstairs with her, but Hanna knew she needed to be upstairs in order for their plan to work.

"Yeah, now we just have to wait for the right moment to make our escape," Henry said with a grin.

"Hanna, wake up," Henry said urgently as he shook her awake.

"What? What?" Hanna said as she shook her head and sat up. Her headache was completely gone now.

"It's time, Let's go," Henry said.

"Okay," Hanna whispered as she climbed out of bed and followed Henry towards the stairs. She changed into regular clothes after her dad put her into bed last night so she would be ready. "What time is it?" she asked. It was still pretty dark outside, but she knew it was morning.

"Almost 5," Henry told her. "Hook and Elsa have been out all night. Your mom and dad just left about 15 minutes ago and Granny is downstairs. Neal is fussy again, so now is our chance."

"Let's go," Hanna said as she quietly picked up her shoes and coat and followed Henry out the door.

They stopped outside for a minute so Hanna could put her coat and shoes on, Henry did they same. Not much usually got by Granny, but luckily she was too preoccupied with the baby. Neal's crying would drowned out any sound Henry and Hanna might have made while leaving. The plan was perfect actually. Everyone would just think Hanna and Henry were still asleep upstairs.

Hanna and Henry spent several hours looking for Emma. They went down by the docks and walked along the beach. Now, they were wandering around in the woods, staying close to the paths so they didn't get lost. They really didn't want to get caught and were lucky they hadn't run into anyone already. They did want to make it back to the loft before anyone noticed and just when they were about to call it quits, they saw her. Emma was leaning up against her yellow bug, looking anxious and scared.

"Mom," Henry said as he ran towards her.

"Emma!" Hanna said as she quickly followed. She was so relieved to see that Emma was alright.

"Guys what are you doing here?"

"We're looking for you," Hanna told her.

"Everyone has been out all night looking for you," Henry added.

"I told you all to stay away. I can't control my powers right now. Listen, don't worry about me. I'm gonna find a way to fix this, but until I do…you gotta go," Emma said as she slowly started to back away from them.

"No!" Henry shouted. "You always think pulling away from people will fix your problems, but it never does. I can help you."

"We both can, Emma. Please," Hanna begged as she and Henry inched closer to her, not letting Emma get to far from them.

"Guys just wait…" Emma said as she looked down at her hands, which were glowing.

"Emma, we're not afraid of you. It's okay," Hanna told her gently, trying to be cautious with her sister.

"Hanna, no," Emma said as she shook her head. "I don't want to hurt you again."

"Emma. I'm fine, really," Hanna told her with a smile.

"But I…I…my magic it just…and your head…" Emma said as she looked up at her sister, a single tear falling down her face as she remembered what she had done.

"Come on, Em. You know I'm tougher than that," Hanna joked, trying to hold back the tears forming in her own eyes. She didn't like seeing her sister so upset.

"But I…" Emma said as she shook her head.

"Mom, it's okay," Henry said as he reached out to hold her hands. Just as he did, a burst of magic flew out from Emma's hands and blasted him back.

"Henry!" the girls both screamed as they ran after him.

"Henry are you okay?" Emma asked, just before stopping herself and holding her hands close. She didn't know what her magic was going to do.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Henry said as he pulled his hand from behind his ear only to find blood.

"Is that blood? Henry what did I do?" Emma asked in a panic.

"It's fine. I'm okay," Henry tried to tell her.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," Emma said as she shook her head.

"Mom…" Henry started to say.

"Please stop. Don't come any closer. I love you kid but you gotta go," Emma said as she backed away. "Han get him home."

"No, please…" the kids started to say.

"Just go!" Emma yelled as more magic shot from her hands.

With that, Henry ran off. Hanna stood for a second and turned to Emma.

"Emma, please just come home with us," she begged her big sister.

"Hanna go," Emma warned.

"Emma, please just listen…"

"Hanna I don't want you here! Get Henry home now!" Emma yelled. She didn't mean to be so harsh, but she couldn't risk hurting her again.

Hanna stood, eyes wide with shock for a moment. Emma had never yelled at her like that before. All Hanna wanted to do was help. She listened to her sister though and ran after Henry, making sure they got themselves home.

Hanna and Henry stood outside the door to the loft, pausing a moment before they went in. They could hear the adults talking inside. They were going to get caught, but they didn't care. Neither spoke a word to the other on the walk home. They were just so upset about what happened. Not about Henry getting hurt. They were upset with themselves for not being able to bring Emma home.

""And we go out, and we find our daughter," David said just as the kids walked in.

"You don't have to look anymore," Henry told him.

"Henry…Hanna?" David said a little surprised to see them coming through the front door.

"We thought you two were asleep upstairs," Snow said.

"What happened?" David asked.

"We snuck out, okay," Hanna told them.

"We're sorry, but we found her," Henry said.

"How is she? Is she okay? Is she hurt?" they both asked at the same time.

"She's out in the woods. I thought we could help calm her down, but when we showed up it…" Henry started to tell them.

"It just made things worse," Hanna added.

"Come with me I'll clean you up in the bathroom," Snow said, noticing the cut behind Henry's ear.

David turned to Hanna and raised his eyebrows at her. He was not happy about her sneaking out again.

Hanna looked up at her dad and opened her mouth to explain, but she couldn't. She just wrapped her arms around him and started to cry. She couldn't help it. She was so mad at herself for not being able to help Emma.

"Daddy….I'm…I'm sorry…" Hanna said in between her sobs.

"It's okay princess," David said as he scooped her up in his arms and carried her over to the couch. He held her close and rubbed circles on her back, trying to get her to calm down so she could talk to him.

Snow came out of the bathroom with Henry, who promptly ran upstairs, and looked for her daughter. She wanted an explanation as to why she was out looking for her sister when she was suppose to be resting. When she saw Hanna sitting on the couch with Charming, so upset, her heart broke for her little girl. Her poor baby had been through so much. Both of her little girls have and Snow didn't know what to do to make everything better.

"Baby, it's okay," Snow said as she sat down on the couch and brushed the hair out of Hanna's face.

"Mommy…I…I tried," Hanna said as she reached for her mom.

"I know, baby. I know. Shh…just calm down," Snow said as she pulled her little girl close.

"Tell us what happened," Charming said.

"She…she was in the woods…and…." Hanna tried to explain, but she couldn't get her words out. She was just too upset.

"It's okay, just slow down," Charming said as he gently rubbed her arm.

Hanna nodded her head and took a few deep breaths. Once she was calm, she filled her parents in on everything that happened.

"She said she didn't want me there," Hanna said with a sniffle as she looked up at her mom.

"Hanna she didn't mean it," Snow told her as she wiped the tears from her cheeks.

"When your powers are out of control, everything is upside-down. You don't want to be anywhere near the people you care about," Elsa told Hanna.

"Wonderful!" Hook interjected. "Should we send Sneezy after her then? Or Happy, which is the dwarf she despises?" He was obviously just as frustrated as any of them.

"I was so scared that I would hurt Anna until I finally realized, you can't run away from the people who love you because in the end they're the only ones who can help you," Elsa continued.

Hanna just snuggled into her mom and tried to take in what Elsa said. Hanna tried to get Emma to come home. She really did, but nothing she said would work. Hanna was so disappointed in herself. She couldn't get Emma to listen…she was too scared. Emma was scared of her powers. All Hanna wanted to do was help, but Emma just yelled at her. Emma was just trying to protect her though. Deep down Hanna knew that, but it still hurt. Hanna didn't like seeing her sister this way. She didn't like not being able to help. This was all so frustrating…the people here, they all loved Emma, and were the only ones who would be able to help her get her powers under control. They couldn't make things better if she kept pushing them away though. When would Emma finally realize that? Hanna didn't know what else to do. She just needed a break from all of this.

"I'm gonna go see Henry," Hanna said with a sigh as she got up and left the room.

Hanna slowly opened the door to the bedroom to find Henry just sitting on his bed. Hanna went over and sat next to him.

"I don't want to talk about it," Henry told Hanna.

"Good. Neither do I," Hanna said as she laid back on the bed.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door. When the kids didn't respond, the door slowly opened and Elsa walked in.

"I brought you some ice. Thought it might help," Elsa said as she held out the ice, which she had just made appear in her hand.

"Thanks," Henry said as he took the ice and held it behind his ear.

"You know Emma didn't mean to hurt either of you, right?" Elsa asked the kids.

"We know that," Hanna said as she sat up.

"Good. Emma's magic…it's tied to her emotions. Just like mine is. You saw how out of control I was in the ice cave," Elsa said as she looked at Hanna.

Hanna nodded her head. "You were just scared."

"I was and I couldn't control my powers," Elsa said, feeling guilty about everything she put Emma and Hanna through that night. "The reason she hurt you was because she was trying so hard not to."

"Well what do we do to help her?" Hanna asked desperately.

"I…I don't know," Elsa said as she looked down. Until Emma stopped pushing away those she loved, there wasn't much they could do. "Just don't give up on her."

"We won't," Hanna assured her. She looked over at Henry, who was being very quiet. He was just so upset.

Elsa went back downstairs and Regina walked in just a few moments later.

"Hi Regina," Hanna said with a small smile.

"How's your head?" she asked the young girl.

"It's better now. Thanks," Hanna told her.

"What are you doing here?" Henry asked as he looked up at her.

"I heard you were hurt," Regina said as she examined the cut behind his ear. "I also brought the locator potion your grandparents asked for. They're going to use it to find Emma."

"I'm gonna go downstairs…I'll see you later," Hanna said as she got up to leave. She wanted to give Henry and Regina some time alone. Maybe she could cheer him up a bit.

Hanna walked down the stairs just as her mom's phone started to ring.

"It's her!" Snow said as she hurried to answer.

Hanna could hear Emma through the phone. "Hey Mom, it's me. Did Henry and Hanna come home?"

"Yes yes, no they're fine," Snow assured her. "Emma I am so sorry about what happened yesterday. I don't want you to ever think that we're afraid of you…"

Snow continued her conversation with Emma for a few minutes, then hung up the phone.

"What did she say?" David asked.

"She said she's going to get rid of her magic. Forever," Snow said as she looked up at her husband.

"Wait, what?" Hanna said as she shook her head. Get rid of her magic? What kind of solution was that?

"How is that even possible?" Elsa asked.

"She said this will all be over soon, and she can't wait to be home for our cocoa with cinnamon," Snow told them…still trying to wrap her head around what her daughter had just told her.

"Did she say anything about the method? A spell or a magic object of some kind?" Hook asked urgently.

"Who cares how she's doing it? That's not what matters here," David told him.

"You're absolutely right. I wonder if she tried to call me," Hook said as he reached for his phone. "Bloody hell, I left my talking phone in the back of your truck."

"It's just called a phone," David told him…still in shock about what his daughter was about to do.

"What an impractical name. I'll be back in two shakes," Hook said as he quickly left.

Hanna sat down in the chair and tried to wrap her head around what Emma was planning to do. This wasn't a good idea…was it? Hanna didn't know, but she definitely didn't have a good feeling about this. Emma couldn't just give up her powers, could she? She put her head down in her hands as she tried to understand what was happening…she was pretty sure her headache was coming back.

Hanna looked up awhile later to find her parents not in the room anymore. She could hear their hushed voices talking in their bedroom. She quietly walked over so she could hear what they were saying.

"You remember the night Emma was born before we put her in the wardrobe?" Hanna heard her dad say. "You said we had to give her her best chance. Maybe now her best chance is for her to be…normal."

Hanna slowly backed away. She didn't like what she was hearing. How could her parents want Emma to give up her magic? That's what made Emma…Emma. She was the savior. Her magic was a part of her. Hanna couldn't let this happen. She remembered what Elsa said earlier about not giving up on her. Well, Hanna wasn't going to. She loved Emma, and she was going to do everything in her power to stop her from doing this. Hanna quickly put on her coat and grabbed the locator potion and Emma's scarf from the table before exiting the loft. She would find her sister and bring her home once and for all.
