Here's the next chapter! I hope everybody likes it :)

Also, there were a few people that had requests. I don't mind requests and as long as they fit into my plan for the story I will try to use them. You just may not see them for a couple chapters.

Chapter 11

Hanna woke up the next morning, thinking back on what had happened the night before. She was pretty tired, but the last thing she remembers is her mom telling her that she had been the one who made her baby blanket. That brought a smile to Hanna's face. She got out of bed and folded her blanket, placing it extra carefully under her pillow. The blanket was even more special to her now.

Hanna walked down the stairs expecting to see everyone already eating breakfast. The loft seemed empty though when she looked around. She only realized she wasn't alone when her mom walked out from her bedroom just as she got to the bottom of the stairs.

"Good morning," Snow told Hanna with a smile.

"Where's everybody else?" Hanna asked.

"Your dad and Emma went into work. They figured it would be a slow day, so they let Henry come along."

Hanna thought Emma might take some more time off before going back to work since she had just gotten home, but leave it to Emma to dive right back into things. "Why didn't I get to go too?"

"You were sleeping. We didn't want to wake you,"

Hanna looked at the clock. She didn't think it was that late, was it? She didn't feel like she had slept in too late today. However, the clock read 10:15, and she knew her Dad was out the door by at least 7:30 every morning to go to work. She had slept in longer than she thought. "Yeah okay," Hanna said as she slowly made her way into the kitchen to find some breakfast. She was a little disappointed that she'd missed out on going to work with her dad and Emma.

"Here sit down. I'll get you something to eat," Snow told her daughter when she saw her going into the kitchen. "What would you like? I'll make you anything you want."

"Can I just have some cereal?" Hanna asked her mom.

"Sure," Snow said with a smile as she went to get Hanna's breakfast.

Hanna went upstairs to get dressed after she finished her cereal. She came back downstairs and plopped down onto the couch, trying to find something to watch on the TV. She flipped through the channels for a few minutes, but couldn't find anything. She turned the TV off and decided that she wanted to go to Granny's and get a hot chocolate. Her mom was in the shower, so she decided to just leave her a note letting her know where she would be. She remembered the last time she left without telling anyone. David had been pretty worried when he didn't know where she had gone. She didn't want her mom to worry. She set the note on the counter, grabbed her coat, and left for Granny's.

"Hey Ruby!" Hanna said as she sat down at the counter.

"Hi Hanna. What are you doing here?" Ruby asked. She was use to Hanna hanging out here by herself during the curse, but now she knew Snow was her mother. She was pretty sure Snow wouldn't want her daughter roaming around town by herself. She was also pretty sure that Snow had no idea Hanna was even here.

"I came to get some hot chocolate. Can I have some…please?" Hanna asked with a smile.

"Yeah I guess so," Ruby said as she shook her head. She figured that would keep Hanna occupied and give her time to let Snow know that her daughter was here. After giving Hanna her hot chocolate, the lunch rush started coming in. She got really busy and wasn't able to call Snow.

Hanna finished her hot chocolate and was walking out the door when she ran right into her mother. Snow had found Hanna's note, only after she had looked all over the loft for her in a panic. She rushed right over to Granny's, hoping Hanna was there. About a million different scenarios ran through her head about what could have happened to her. She was still a little girl and had no business wandering around town all by herself. Especially when things in this town were so unpredictable and because Snow didn't completely trust Regina. The woman could still be out for revenge and Snow's daughter would be the perfect target.

"Mom, what are you doing here?" Hanna asked.

"Come on, we're going home. Now." Snow said as she grabbed Hanna's hand and pulled her out the door. She was relieved to see that she was here and that she was alright. Her worries had gone away, and she was very unhappy with her daughter right now.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Hanna asked as they walked through the front door. The only thing her mom had said to her on the walk back was that they would talk about it when they got home. She wasn't sure, but she thought her mom seemed a little mad. She had seen her get angry at other students when she was her teacher, and she had that same look on her face now. Hanna was pretty sure she was about to get in trouble, but she didn't understand why.

"Hanna, you cannot leave the house like that. Without anybody knowing." Snow said as she turned around after hanging her coat on the hook by the door. "I know your father told you that the last time you decided to leave the house and wander around town." David had told Snow about the night when Hanna decided to take a walk while he was in the shower.

"Mom, I left you a note," Hanna said as she thought back to that evening. Her dad did seem pretty worried about her when she got home. Hanna just figured it was because he hadn't known she had left. That's why she left a note this time, so her mom would know where she was. She still didn't understand what the big deal was.

"I know you did and do you know how long I looked for you and how much I panicked before I found your note?"

Hanna wasn't really listening to what her mom had just said, she was still trying to figure out why her mom was so upset and what the problem was with her going to Granny's by herself. Then, she realized it had nothing to do with them knowing where she was or not, it was because she went by herself. "Wait, so am I not allowed to go anywhere by myself now?" Hanna asked getting a little angry. She had grown up in this town and ventured through its streets all by herself her whole life. She wasn't about to stop now.

"No, Hanna you're not. You're too young and too many things happen in this town. It's not safe for you to wander around by yourself."

"Are you serious?" Hanna asked, she was starting to get even more mad. "In case you haven't noticed I grew up in this town alone. That really didn't leave me with a whole lot of options. I didn't have anybody to walk around with me, so I did it on my own and I'm fine." Tears started running down her cheeks, she was starting to cry and she didn't really know why. She felt mad, not sad, so why were there stupid tears falling down her face. "Nobody cared before whether I walked around town by myself or not," Hanna said angrily at her mother as she wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Well now you do have people who care," Snow said as she started walking closer to her daughter, but before she could wrap her up in a hug and let her know that she was here for her now, Hanna ran from the room and up the stairs. Snow let her head drop into her hands as tears began to fall. This had gone all wrong.

Hanna slammed the door to her room and threw herself onto her bed. She was crying even harder now. She still didn't know why. She was mad that her freedom to walk around town had been taken away. She was angry at her mom for treating her like she was a baby, so why was she crying? Hanna gave up trying to figure it out and succumbed to the tears that she was trying to hold in.

When David returned home a few hours later, Snow explained the whole situation to him. How Hanna had gone to Granny's and only left a note and about their encounter when they returned home. Snow thought that maybe she had not handled the situation the right way, but David reassured her that Hanna needed to learn that she wasn't going to be allowed to run the streets as she pleased anymore. They decided to go upstairs and have a talk with her. Snow had gone up earlier, but found her sleeping. She decided to just let her sleep and that she would talk with her about what had happened later.

When they entered her room, they found Hanna still asleep and could see the tear stains on her cheeks. It broke their hearts to see that their little girl had been so upset. Snow sat down on the bed with David sitting behind her. She began to brush the hair from Hanna's face, tucking it behind her ear. Hanna's eyes opened, and she squinted up at her parents trying to figure out why they were there. Then she remembered what had happened earlier. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and sat up, she figured a conversation was about to take place. Hanna hugged her knees to her chest and looked up at her parents waiting for one of them to start talking.

"I'm sorry Hanna. I'm sorry that we weren't there for you. You should never have been allowed to wander around this town by yourself. We should have been there for you and your sister. We will always feel guilty about the time we missed with both of you, but we're here now, and we will do what we think is best for you. It is not safe for you to go out by yourself, understand?" Snow said as she looked into her daughters eyes.

"We just want to do what's best for you, kiddo," David said.

"But, I left a note. You knew exactly where I was," Hanna argued.

"I know that, but you still aren't allowed to leave the house by yourself," Snow told her.

"But that's not fair. I…" Hanna started to say, her voice getting a little louder.

"Hanna. Enough," David said, interrupting his daughter. "You are not to leave this house unless you are with somebody and that's it, got it?"

Hanna nodded her head to let them know she was listening. She understood what they were telling her, but she didn't completely agree with what they were saying. Hanna knew nothing bad was going to happen to her, and she thought she should still be allowed to go places by herself. She didn't feel like arguing anymore, she was hungry and hoped that it was time for dinner.

They heard the front door open downstairs. "That must be Emma and Henry. They picked up food from Granny's for dinner," David said. "You hungry?" he asked Hanna.

"Yes, I'm starving," she said as she got up out of bed and made her way downstairs.

David and Snow just looked at each other before heading downstairs for dinner. They really hoped Hanna would listen to what they had said and not go off on her own anymore.

Emma and Hanna were in the kitchen eating breakfast the next morning. Henry had already eaten and was watching TV. David and Snow were in their room getting dressed for the day. Emma looked over at her sister and smirked. She knew Hanna was still pretty annoyed that she had gotten into trouble for going to Granny's by herself, and she decided to tease her a little about it. She figured it was her right as a big sister to do so. She probably would have picked on Hanna a lot if they grew up together. She was just making up for it now.

"Hey Han, I heard about your little adventure to Granny's yesterday," Emma said as she nudged her with her elbow. "You really should have let someone know where you were."

Hanna just glared at her sister. She knew Emma was just messing with her, but she wasn't in the mood. "I left a stupid note!" Hanna said as she jumped down from the chair and stormed upstairs to get her book bag, leaving her breakfast practically uneaten. Emma hadn't thought Hanna was going to get that bent out of shape about it.

School had just let out and Henry and Hanna were suppose to be getting on the bus. However, Hanna had another idea. She really didn't feel like going home, and there was part of her that wanted to test just how serious her parents were about her not going anywhere by herself.

"Let's go down to the beach," Hanna said to Henry.

"Uh…I'm pretty sure we're suppose to go home," Henry said in response.

"So…come on, I don't want to go home yet."

"Didn't you just get in trouble yesterday for going to Granny's by yourself?" Henry asked with a raise of his eyebrows.

"I'm not going to be by myself. You're with me. Now let's go," she said as she grabbed his hand and pulled him in the opposite direction of the school bus towards the beach.

Snow, David, and Emma had been waiting to get the kids off of the bus. Something had happened while they were at school, and they needed to tell them about it right away. Dr. Hopper was found dead in his office, and they learned that Regina was the one who was responsible. When Henry and Hanna didn't get off of the bus, they began to worry. When they went to confront Regina, it ended with her vanishing in a puff of smoke. They had no idea where she was or what she was doing. For all they knew, she could have taken the kids. They tried to remain calm and decided to go look for Henry and Hanna before thinking the worst.

Hanna and Henry only spent about an hour at the beach before deciding to head home. In that hour, the adults had looked everywhere for them, without any luck. They had decided to go back home and re-group before heading back out and continuing their search. Henry and Hanna walked in to find Snow, David, and Emma talking frantically with with looks of panic in their eyes. Hanna immediately regretted her decision to push the limits once she saw the scene in front of her. Henry shut the door, alerting the adults to their presence. Relief washed over their faces when they saw the kids standing in front of them.

"Where have you been?" Snow asked as she pulled Hanna in for a hug. Her little girl was definitely not off the hook for what she had done, Snow just needed to reassure herself that Hanna was here and not in danger.

"Why didn't you guys get off of the bus?" Emma asked looking at Henry. She knew the conversation she was about to have with Henry was going to be tough, so she wasn't going to be too hard on him right now.

"We went to the beach," Hanna said with a shrug of her shoulders, like it was no big deal.

"You what?" David asked her. He was pretty surprised that she had deliberately disobeyed them and gone off on her own.

"I'm gonna take Henry," Emma said as she guided Henry out the door. She needed to explain what happened with Archie and Regina's involvement. She wanted to do it alone. She wasn't too concerned about him going to the beach at the moment. She knew what she was about to tell him was going to be upsetting enough.

Snow and Charming nodded to their oldest daughter, encouraging her to do what she needed to do for Henry. They knew she was nervous to tell Henry about what had happened today, but they had faith that she could do it.

"What's going on?" Hanna asked as she watched Emma and Henry walk out the door.

"We'll talk about that in a minute," David told Hanna as he crossed his arms and turned to look at her. "Right now, we need to talk about you."

"What about me?" Hanna said, acting like she didn't know what they were talking about.

"About how you're not suppose to go anywhere without an adult. You're suppose to come straight home after school and you know that," Snow told her.

"You only said I'm not suppose to go anywhere alone. I wasn't alone. I was with Henry," Hanna said. She knew she was probably pushing it. Henry wasn't allowed to go around town by himself either. She knew what her parents had meant, but she still thought they were being ridiculous.

"You know exactly what we meant," David said. "You aren't allowed to roam around town anytime you…"

"Stop! You're being ridiculous. I was fine!" Hanna said interrupting her father. She was practically yelling at him now. "I was just at the beach. What's the big deal? I'm not a…"

"Enough! You listen to me," Snow said as she knelt down grabbing Hanna by the shoulders. "You are our little girl. It is our job to keep you safe. You are not to go anywhere without an adult. Who knows what could have happened to you while you were out there alone. Regina she could have…," Snow dropped her head as a tear fell down her face. She was still thinking about not knowing where Regina was and how she couldn't stop thinking that Regina had something to do with Henry and Hanna not coming home. Regina had been the reason she lost her girls in the first place. It was hard for her to not worry about it happening again. Especially after what they saw her do to Archie.

"Regina? What's going on?" Hanna could see that something else was wrong. They weren't just this upset about her going to the beach. Something else was making her mom upset, and it had something to do with Regina. "Mom, please. What happened?" Hanna asked, tears starting to form in her own eyes. She looked up at her father, hoping he would have an answer for her.

Snow looked up at Hanna, "Come on, we have something we need to tell you."

They all went to sit on the couch. Snow and Charming filled her in on everything that happened today. Hanna was shocked to hear about Archie, and she was upset to hear that Regina had been the one to do it. She was so sure that Regina was becoming a better person and that she was trying to change. Apparently she was wrong. Hanna understood now why her parents were worried about her today. She made a mental note to try not to push the limits, at least for a little while. She felt pretty guilty for causing her parents so much anxiety.

"I'm sorry for not coming home after school today," Hanna told her parents as she wiped the tears from her eyes.

"It's okay sweetie," Snow said as she wrapped her arms around her.

"We were just so worried about you," David said as he put his arm around her as well and kissed the top of her head.

Dr. Hopper's funeral was very hard to to attend. This was the first funeral Hanna had ever been, to and it was difficult for her to see everyone so upset. Especially Henry. He was so close to Archie and he was taking it really hard. Hanna hadn't really known Archie too well. She knew him enough to say "Hi" when walking down the street, but that's pretty much it. It still saddened her to know that he was gone.

Everyone had come over to the loft after the funeral. Mary Margaret and David were cleaning up in the kitchen and Emma had just left after a failed attempt at trying to cheer Henry up. Hanna walked into her parent's room where Henry was sitting on the bed. She thought she would try to see if she could brighten Henry's mood a little.

"You know, Emma went through a lot of trouble to make this pop tart for you," Hanna joked as she sat down on the bed and waved the pop tart in front of him. "You should really eat it."

Henry just looked over at her. Hanna could have sworn she saw a small smile flash across his face for a split second. Hanna just gave him a big smile reached the pop tart closer to him. He just rolled his eyes and grabbed the pop tart, taking a bite. "Happy now?" Henry asked Hanna.

"Yes," Hanna said. After sitting there for a few moments not saying anything, Hanna decided she'd try something else to get his mind off of everything. "Do you want to do something? We could watch a movie or…"

"No thanks," Henry told her before she could even finish.

Hanna could tell that he just wanted to be alone, so she got up and left the room. Looks like she had been just as successful as her sister was in cheering him up. She walked over to the kitchen where her parents had just finished cleaning up the dishes. Snow looked up to see her daughter walking towards her with a sad look on her face. She knew the reason behind that look. "He's still really upset," Hanna said as she looked down at the ground. She felt horrible that should couldn't figure out how to make her best friend feel better.

"Hanna, look at me," Snow said as she gently lifted Hanna's chin. "He's going to be okay. He just needs some time."

Hanna nodded her head as her mom pulled her in for a hug. Hanna hugged her back and started to feel little better.

"How about I go give it a shot," David said, giving his daughter a wink. Hanna smiled back at him, hoping he would have better luck with Henry.

David had been in there with Henry for a few minutes when all of a sudden the front door opened and Archie's dog Pongo came running in.

"Pongo!" Henry said as the dog ran right to him.

"How did he get in here?" Snow asked

"I brought him," Emma started to tell them. "Marco and I had a chat. He knew how much Henry loves this dog He said he should have him. That is if you're up for taking care of him," Emma said as she looked over to Henry.

"Yeah I am," Henry said excitedly, that smile returning to his face.

Emma looked down, noticing the muddy dog prints on the floor. "Uh, Henry…Why don't you take Pongo outside and clean him up."

"Okay, come on boy," Henry said as he grabbed his coat and headed for the door.

"I wanna come to," Hanna said. She looked at her parents, making sure it was okay.

"Go ahead," David told her. "But stay right outside."

"I will. I promise," Hanna said as she ran out the door.

Emma, Henry, and Hanna were just hanging out at the loft with Pongo when they heard a knock at the door. Emma got up to answer it and was shocked to see Archie on the other side.

"Archie," Emma said in disbelief. "What happened?"

"It was Cora," he said. "She kidnapped me."

"Archie!" Henry exclaimed as he ran into his arms.

"Henry, it's alright. I'm fine." he reassured him.

"Guys, we were wrong," Emma said as she looked over at Henry and Hanna. "Regina didn't do it."

"I knew it!" Henry said as a look of relief washed over his face.

"Maybe we should let her know," Hanna said as she looked up at Emma. Regina was out there somewhere thinking everyone thought she was a murderer. She had a right to know that Archie was alive and that her mother was the one who was behind it all.

"Yeah, but something tells me either way we're going to pay the price," Emma said.

A little while after Archie left, Emma got an urgent call from David, saying that there was an accident and he needed her there. He told her Snow had already called Granny, and she was on her way over to the loft to stay with Henry and Hanna. Once Granny arrived, Emma left in a rush to meet up with David and Mary Margaret and see what was going on with this accident.

Henry and Hanna were going crazy not knowing what was going on. It was getting late, and no one had come home yet. They had already played several card games with Granny, she made them a few cups of hot chocolate, and they even watched a movie. They wanted to know what happened and why it was keeping everyone out so late. By the time midnight rolled around, Granny had to practically force the kids to go upstairs and get some sleep.

Henry awoke from his sleep when he heard the front door slam shut. They were back, and he was eager to find out what kept them out all night. He went over to wake up Hanna. She wasn't the most pleasant person in the morning, but he figured she would be even more unpleasant if he left her up here while he went downstairs to get all of the details about last night.

"Hanna!" Henry said as he shook her shoulder. "They're back. Wake up!"

"Henry….stop," Hanna groaned as she pushed him away.

"Hanna. Get up. Don't you want to find out what happened last night?"

That made Hanna's ears perk up a bit. She had forgotten for a second about last night. "They're home?" Hanna asked as she sat up rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

"Yeah, come on!" Henry said as he ran from the room.

"Henry…wait!" Hanna said as she hurried out of her bed and followed Henry down the stairs.

"You guys were out all night," Henry complained as he got to the bottom of the stairs. "Where were you?"

"Yeah and Granny wouldn't tell us anything," Hanna said as she came up beside Henry.

"Rumplestiltskin and Captain Hook had a fight and someone got hurt," Snow told them.

"We weren't sure Dr. Frankenstein could fix him, but he did," Emma said.

"Dr?" Henry and Hanna asked as they looked at each other.

"So, that's who Whale is," Henry said figuring it out first.

"Oh," Hanna said as she nodded her head. He was one of the people in town that they had trouble figuring out. Now, it made sense though.

All of a sudden, there was a knock at the door. Mr. Gold walked right in before anyone could actually answer the door.

"Gold?" Emma said "We've all had a long night."

"Remember the favor you owe me Miss Swan?" he started to say, not really paying attention to what Emma had just said. "I'm cashing it in."

"It's not a good…" Emma tried to tell him before she was interrupted.

"You do honor your agreements, don't you? I need to find someone, so we're leaving. Today. Pack a bag."

"Leaving?" Snow asked, sounding worried.

"Where?" Henry asked.

"Find someone? Who?" Emma asked.

"My son," Gold said in response.

Gold makes a quick threat about killing them all if any harm comes to Belle before exiting the loft and promising to back at noon.

Emma had decided to take Henry with her. Cora was back, and they didn't know where she or Regina were. Emma wanted to make sure Henry was safe, and she felt the best place for him was with her. Snow, David, and Hanna said their goodbyes and watched as Emma and Henry left for New York with Rumplestiltskin.
