'Knock, knock'

Waited Emma a few seconds before knocking again

"I knew it was personal, How come you don't knock their door down?" asked annoyed Regina

"Because they have my baby brother inside, I won't wake him" she said as a matter of fact trying to open the door once more

"Is unlocked, come in" came David's response.

Emma pushed the door again "It won't open" said resigning "I think is stuck"

"Give me a sec" she hear the footsteps approaching and the shrinking of the wood as he slam it open "Hey Emma" she hugged her greeting her daughter warmly. "Hey, Henry" he messed his hair up "Regina, what brings you all here?"

"We have some…things to talk about" answer Regina "Where is Mary Margaret?"

"Just putting a sweater on Neal" he looked at the unannounced guest as she walked quietly behind them.

"Emma, that's you?" came the voice of Snow from another room.

"Yeah, we were just checking on you guys" when she finally got on her eye sight, she saw her brother asleep wrapped in covers and the smile was instantaneous. "Hey, baby Neal" she whispered coming forward.

"So what brings you here?"

"We need to talk, about…this young lady" said Regina making Elsa come forward "Queen Elsa of Arendelle"

As an habit Elsa vowed her head trying to grab the sides of her dress, but found her hands empty at the action.

"Queen Elsa?" repeated Mary Margaret a bit confused "Um, a pleasure, I'm Princess Snow White"

"Shouldn't you be Queen?" muttered Emma getting a small shove from his father's elbow.

"So what brings you to Storybrook?"

"Your daughter" answered Regina harshly "Along side with a supposed death woman, her little portal brought a vase in which she was trapped"

"Oum, then, what can I do to help?" she asked confused.

"Is rather, what I need to do to unfreeze your village" she cleared her throat "And I must go back to my time and find my sister to restore order in my Kingdome"

"W-wait, wait" interrupted David "you are…" he moved his shoulder uncomfortably "freezing everything"

"Unintentionally" she clarified with an eyebrow raised.

"Point being, Gold had her prisoner for who-knows- how -long and I think we have heard of her before"

"I beg your pardon?" looked Elsa at Regina.

"That's why we need to talk, so" she sat "Tell us your whole story, I think we belonged to the same time period, only…you didn't age in the process and if that was to be true, maybe Mary Margaret and I could know something that might help you"

Various stares were placed upon the young Queen before she released her breath taking a seat "Agreed, but…perhaps we could keep this private?"

"Sure" Snow smiled "David could you take them somewhere?"

"I would, but Neal would get sick with all of this…" he looked at the deathly glare Mary Margaret was giving him"allergies, I was going to say allergies" he smiled apologetically clearing his throat "Let's go for a walk" he smiled embarrassed taking Neal in arms "We'll be near"

"Yes" smiled forcedly Snow at his slip of tongue. When they were left alone in a room Elsa took a deep breath "The whole story?"

"Since your powers became a struggle for you"

Her shoulders dropped as she looked thru the window "So, a long story" sighted soundlessly "Well, the sky was awake…"


Regina and Snow were face to face now as the rest of the people in the room wandered around the small apartment. Shortly after Elsa had finished her tale, David had come back with the family, placing Neal in Snow's arms as he prepared coffee and hot cocoa.

"That did sounded awful familiar" concur Snow.

"Although I can't bring myself to remember a place called Arendelle or their King and Queen before them, I do recall hearing a rumor about…a coronation going wrong and a terrible blizzard and all the other climate changes"

"Well, maybe… when I was in the run, Red and I used to hear all kind of tales of monsters, Kingdoms and witches, but…a frozen Kingdome…" she pressed her lips together shaking her head "I can't say that rings a bell"

"Belle!" exclaimed Emma overhearing their conversation.

"What about Belle?"

"She was already Rumple's servant when we found the vase. Maybe she knows something, like, where he went or whom he made deals with…"

"Or maybe, Belle was prior Elsa's imprisonment" said Regina "Besides, I don't think she is willing to help us after her little meeting with her"

"What happened?" asked Mary Margaret rocking the baby.

"She just boldly spoke her mind up, it was rather amusing" said Regina with a wide smile.

"She just warned Belle never to have a baby with him, who knows why"

"Well, he was a terrible parent" said Regina.

"He did his best, Neal was proud of him. Mr. Gold even went thru all this trouble to find a land with no magic"

"Correction, he manipulated me to do all the hard work of this curse so he could get here"

"Whatever, cut him some slack, he had suffered a lot, specially now that…" her throat tightened in a knot "Neal…"

"We know, Emm" Snow grabbed her daughter's hand giving it a squeeze. By the sudden movement, baby Neal started crying "Oh, no, come on, Neal, everything is fine" Snow tried to soothe him, but the crying just got more intense.

"Here" Charming grabbed him giving him a bottle "You are hungry little buddy?" but Neal just turned his head to the opposite side, making the milk spill "What is it?"

"Maybe a dirty dipper?" suggested Snow raising to her feet "No that's not it"

Elsa turned around looking at the baby "He is tired" she said in hardly audible voice

"He just been awake for an hour" said David

"I know" nodded Elsa taking a step closer "rock him in circles and give him your finger" she said raising her own pinkie up

"What?"

"Babies like sucking on things, calms their nerves" she suggested in tender voice.

David looked oddly at her, but did what he was told. Within minutes, Neal was grabbing his father's smallest finger sucking at it and letting his eyelids down as he was rocked in half circles.

"He is asleep" murmured Mary Margaret looking at her baby then up at Elsa's pleasant smile "Thank you, how did you knew it would work?"

"It helped Anna when she was little" she shrunk her shoulders "I used to watch mamma do it all the time"

"Do you want to hold him?" offered Snow

Elsa's smile dropped as she backed away hiding her hands behind her back "Oh, no, no thanks" she forced the grin back on her features "Is better if I don't, allergies" she suggested the other way of saying, she was the Snow Queen, she was the living winter.

David blushed by her using his lame excuse and took a step closer to the young woman "It's ok, nothing bad will happen" he pushed the baby lovingly towards her arms lying him in her chest as Elsa carefully embraced him, a smile filling her lips at the sight of the boy.

"He is lovely" she muttered

"Thank you" he released Neal in her arms and retrieved a step to give her some space.

"Is weird to think my uncle is younger than me" said Henry

"That only makes us think we are old" chuckled David laying his hand on his grandson's shoulder.

The teapot started to whistle as Henry went to turn the fire down "Who wants coffee and who wants hot cocoa?"


When the sky was turning dark again and few stars were shinning, they were on their way home. It had been a pretty reunion, just talking and enjoying the company, it was warm and welcoming, it was something that Elsa wasn't use to. But finally the evening came to an end as they drove away arriving to Regina's.

"Okay, time to sleep, Henry go brush your teeth, you are staying with me tonight"

"Alright" came an answer between yawns.

"Good night" kissed the top of his head before letting him go "You can stay in the couch, Miss Swan, I won't make you drive home just to come back tomorrow and knock my door down"

"Well, thank you" she said sardonically landing with a thud sound in the couch.

"Good night, everyone" said Elsa going up the stairs.

"Night" came a response and for the rest of the night the only sound there was were the crickets and a howl.
