Thanks to Ro, she has been resiantly commenting on this fic and made me a perfect cover for this. Thank you.

The car ride had been quiet. Andy was nervous because this could change everything in her life. Right now she had everything she had wished for, but as fast as all this had come to her. She might as well lose one of them in one shift move. She really hated the thought about losing Miranda. It meant that her heart would broke. She knew the older woman was her true and only love. She had never loved like this anyone and she had her doubts that she could find anyone to love like this in this world, but she had been wrong. Andy had known it the first moment she had layed her eyes on this white beauty.

They arrived to her sister who greeted them. She led them to the living room to wait while the dinner was still cooking. Gia had known they would be late. After all, Andy had never really been punctual. Emma had collected their coats and bags so they could be comfortable and Gia offered them her famous apple cider. It was strong, Andy noticed. She glanced at her sister who just smirked at her.

"Quite strong, isn't it?" Gia said.

"Yeah, want my tongue loosen up?"

"I do. It is for your own good." Right then the oven dinged. Their dinner was ready. Gia snapped at her fingers and the dinner was on the table. Miranda had noticed this, but didn't comment on it. Not yet anyways. The conversation was light while they ate until it was time for the coffee.

"Let's just stop with this beating around the bush." Gia said. "The thing is, Rea here. You know her as Andrea, Andy and that horrid name Six. Is a witch."

"Well, I figured that out earlier today."

"You did?" Andy's eyes were big.

"Yes, darling. I did. Why else would you be carrying around wooden stick?"

"A..and?" She was afraid to ask but it had to be asked.

"Nothing." The older woman took a hold on her hand.

"But what you don't know.. is that.. I'm not form here."

"You are from London, aren't you?"

"Nope, I lived there quite long time, but I'm not form around here. From... this.." Andy tried to show with her hand.

"What she is trying to tell you, she is not form this world." Emma said. "She is actually from our land."

Miranda took a moment to think. "Do you really want me to believe this?"

"Miranda, this whole town is from there." Andy said. First time in her life she couldn't read Miranda's facial expressions.

"Are you telling me that the fairytale's in this town are real?" All three women nodded.

"I can't believe this." Miranda stood up. "Surely you, Sheriff don't believe this?"

"I do. I am the savior after all."

"You all are crazy. You have to be." Miranda saw how Andrea's heart broke, but this couldn't be true. She was level headed and realistic woman and she really had hard time believing in witches, but they had been around for ages. She had seen her share of magic to believe in it. After all her cousin from mothers side was one. They didn't talk about her and what she was, but it was enough for her to believe. But this can't be true and they were trying to play her like some dummy. Fairytale's are for children, Young children. Even hers were already too old to believe this loud of bull shit.

"Where do you think all these stories come from?" Andy asked. "Every story has come from somewhere."

"That just it. These are stories!" Miranda had started to pace.

"What can I do to make you believe?" Andy asked.

"I don't know." Miranda snapped.

Andy took a moment to think until she got up and stood next to her sister.

"Gia, take my heart out."

"What?" Miranda and Regina said out loud at the same time.

"Take my heart out, Gia."

"No, I can't." Regina shook her head.

"You have to. I need you to take it out." Andy lay her hand on her sisters shoulder. "You know how human heart looks like. This might be the only way for you to believe."

"Regina, You can do it." Emma squeezed her lovers hand. "She needs to believe and if this is the only way to make her understand."

"Okay," Regina stood in front of her sister. "I.."

"Just do it." Andy said and closed her eyes. She felt her sisters hand on her chest for a second then it went through her chest. It did hurt, but not as much as Miranda's words had a minute ago. When her heart left her body she couldn't feel a thing. No love, no hate. Sorrow was gone. Any pain she had felt, had disappeared.

"Oh, you poor thing." Regina studied the heart in her hand. "You have a crack on your heart." Andy opened her eyes and saw it. It glowed soft pink, but there was a white crack on the surface. "Sit." Regina spoke to the heart and she did.

"You see, Miranda." Regina said to Miranda. "This is her heart and now I have it. I can tell her to do what ever I want, but I wont. I might have been the Evil Queen, but she still is my sister and I do love her." She squeezed the heart a little which made Andy grasped her chest in pain. "I can kill her." She offered the beautiful heart to Miranda which the older woman took from her. "Now, you can kill her." Miranda studied the heart in her hand.

"Are all hearts like this?"

"No," Regina said. "Mine is black. Because I have done horrible things in my life." Miranda gave Andrea's heart back to the older brunet.

"Stand up, dear." Regina whispered to her sister. She put the heart back in Andy's chest. All those feelings were back in one push and she felt her eyes mist with the pain and she almost fell to the floor, but Miranda had been quick on her feet and steadied her. When she felt those soft lips on her forehead she knew the older woman believed her. Partly anyways.

"Is it really that black?" Miranda hugged her young lover.

"Yes." Regina said.

"I would like to see. It is so hard to believe that you two are related after seeing so beautiful heart."

"You want to see my heart?"

"Yes, I would." Miranda let go of Andrea.

"Well, the thing is. I can't rip out my own heart."

"But Andy can." Emma continued. She herself wanted to see Regina's heart. Was it really that black.

Andy was horrified. "I can't!"

"I.." Regina started. "I would like to see it myself." She glanced at her sister.

"Gia, I have never done that!"

"Oh, please. You have so!" Regina smiled. "From that horse. Do you really think that I didn't know. How else would that mare been so nice to you?"

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"I didn't want our mother to know. If she had. Well, you know what she would have done then."

Andy knew. She would have made her read all those horrible books and taken every good thing from her. She would have made the same things to her than she had done to Regina.

"You know, I haven't done this after that."

"I trust you." Regina said and opened four buttons form her shirt. Andy said something and put her hand on her sisters chest. She was gentle as ever when she pulled out the heart. It was black, but there was light pink glow.

"Regina, You may have black heart. But it seems it has woken up." Miranda smiled to Emma. "It seems, love is strength." Andy put her sisters heart back with a smile.

"Gia, You are getting better." She kissed her cheek.

"I.. I thought." Regina drank her wine. "I thought I might never be able to."

"Honey, I knew it couldn't be that bad." Emma smiled to her lover. "I knew there still was some good left in you." Emma leaned to her lover and kissed her sweetly.

There was pregnant pause.

"Okay, could we move to something else. This heart ripping part got me little riled up." Andy huffed and sat down to her seat. Miranda went to hers and sipped her cold coffee. She grimaced. She saw Andrea flip her finger to her cup and it heated again.

"Thank you, Andrea." She smiled. "So, tell me how did you end up here."

The sisters glanced each other. "Okay, this is the part no-one really knows. Only us and mother." Andy said. "You all know that Snow white got in trouble with her horse and she was saved by Regina." She saw her sister flinch. "Well, it wasn't Regina. It was me." She let the information sink in. "So, the king wanted to marry me. I was only fourteen at the time and I didn't want that. Neither did Gia. So, we got this idea that we would leave that realm and stole our mothers book about how to open a portal. We finally did it and I went in and waited for a long time to my sister came after me. She never did." It is sad memory for her.

"My mother pulled me back. She abused me and she almost killed me. Instead offering Rea to the king she offered me. Telling it was me who had saved his daughter. I was in love with Daniel at the time, but she killed him. Ripped his heart out and squeezed until it had been dust. I married king Leopold. It really was horrible time for me. I was prisoner in my own home until the king was killed by my indication. I may have influenced on him to do so but I never told him to do so. He was in love with me. At the time, my heart had already started to blacken so I really used people to my gain. How we did end up here..well. I made a curse which ended most of us here."

"Why did your mother kill Daniel?"

"Because she could. That stupid little imp called Snow White had told my mother about him. We were about to escape together."

"Honey, you are still talking about my mother." Emma said.

"How, what..?"

"Before the curse, Snow White and Prince Charming had a child. Emma. To protect the prophecy they send her here with Pinochio. Then the curse send us here and the time here froze up for 28 years. Then Emma came here and broke the curse. Our time started to move forward and we came known to the world. That is how you found this town."

"Andrea, how old are you?" The girl mumbled something. "Come again?"

"I said I'm 51."

Miranda couldn't believe what she had heard. "How's that possible?"

"That I would like to know myself. You promised to teach me that little neat trick." Regina smiled.

"Well, magic."

"You know you are older than I am."

"Yeah, I know." Miranda had just turned 50. "And if you want... I can slow you for ageing too."

"Oh, you can?"

"How?"

"Phoenix tears." Andy smiled to all of them.

"And you have them?" Regina asked.

"I do. I have endless supply. I own phoenix. Well, I don't own him. He just lives with me. He moved with me to New York when I left London. He's called Rupert." Her smile was shy.

The dinner had been more interesting that Miranda had expected. To know her lover was a witch wasn't the problem, but to believe that all those fairytales she had read to her children. Really was true.

Andrea lay next to her while she flipped pages on the book which she had given to her to read. It took almost her whole night when she got to the last few pages. There was a page where Regina was laying on her bed and crying. Henry, her son had wounded her deeply and she would have cried her eyes out too if her girls would have said those things to her. Emma was there too to console Regina. Oh, that was when they kissed the first time. Next page was about them. Her screaming at Andrea when she had been jealous to no end and she had kissed her. Why hadn't she noticed the comment on 37 years? Oh, well. She didn't care as long as she had her own brunet next to her. The next part surprised her more. It was about their dinner party. It broke her when her eyes hit on the line where her sweet darling Andrea had broken her heart. She had been the reason why there was a crack on that beautiful heart. "I am so sorry, darling." She whispered to the sleeping form in her bed. When she turned a next page there was forming a new picture but it was just shades. She would need to show it tomorrow, well to day when they both were awake.

She lay down. Instantly Andrea pulled her closer to her body and nuzzled her neck. Oh, she really loved her Andrea. And top of all this, her Andrea was Princess. Who would have ever guessed?

The dark female shadow was studying the mansion. It was something that she had expected, but she really hadn't expected to see those sisters together again. She always thought Andrea had died on her trip in that portal. She had been wrong.

Cora turned to leave to the Hook's boat. She promised herself she would get her revenge. Andrea had ruined her plans and Regina had been too weak to be the queen. She had to give it to her though. She had tried to kill her after all. Luckily, Hook was easy to manage. It was true. Good help wasn't easy to find. Cora smiled to herself. It was time to get what she wanted. Power.
