He Doesn't Even Know

A guest asked for a oneshot where Hanna has a talk with David while Mary Margret is in prison.

This is set during season 1.

"It's Hanna, isn't it?" David asked as he walked up to the young girl sitting in the booth at Granny's. He had seen her around town before. She was always hanging out with the mayor's son and seemed to tag along with Emma a lot too. He was also pretty sure she was there at the Troll Bridge the night he was rescued.

Hanna looked up and saw her father standing in front of her. She really never talked to him all that much before. She wondered what he wanted. As he looked down at her, Hanna noticed his bright blue eyes…they were the same as the ones she had. Hanna became sad as she looked up at him. He doesn't even know. He doesn't know that his daughter is sitting right in front of him or that the other one was probably somewhere near by. He didn't know that he was Prince Charming and Mary Margaret is actually his true love with whom he belonged…he doesn't even know any of it and that made Hanna so sad. She was becoming so frustrated with all of this. Emma still didn't believe, and they seemed to be no closer to breaking the curse than they had been since Emma decided to stay in town and the clock started moving. And to make matters worse, Mary Margaret was in jail being framed by the Evil Queen for a crime she didn't even commit. Everything just seemed to be falling apart. Hanna was so tired of all of this. She just buried her head in her hands…forgetting that he was still there.

"Hey, are you okay?" David asked as he sat down across from her and reached out, placing his hand on her shoulder.

"Oh…" Hanna said as she looked up and shook her head. "Yeah, fine. I'm just worried about Miss Blanchard."

"So am I. How…how is she doing?" David asked. He hoped Hanna would be able to tell him something. Mary Margaret didn't want to see him and he couldn't get anything out of Emma earlier.

"How do you think she's doing?" Hanna said with a roll of her eyes.

David sighed, that's exactly what Emma had said when he asked her. He said something that made Mary Margaret believe he thought she was actually guilty of killing Kathryn. It wasn't true though. That's not what he meant at all. He knew she didn't do it, and he needed her to know that. He didn't think Hanna would know about all of that, but maybe she did. "Right, I just…"

"I'm sorry…" Hanna said as she sighed in frustration. "I didn't mean to be rude. She's not doing well from what I hear. I haven't seen her though." Emma wouldn't let her come by and visit.

"Oh it's fine, I just thought maybe…never mind," David said as he stood up to leave. This was a bad idea.

"No, wait!" Hanna said quickly. She didn't want him to leave just yet. "What were you going to say?"

David debated whether or not he should bring her into all of this, but maybe she'd be willing to help. "Do you think you could tell Mary Margaret that I want to see her?"

Hanna thought about it for second…she didn't see the harm in doing that. She could get by Emma. "Yeah, I can tell her," Hanna told him with a smile. She was glad she could do something to help bring her parents together.

"Great!" David said with a smile. He tried getting Emma to tell Mary Margaret the same thing, but she just told him Mary Margaret did want to see anyone. He knew by "anyone" Emma meant him.

"I'll go over later and let you know what she says," Hanna told him.

"Thank you," David told her sincerely before leaving the diner.

Hanna sighed as she watched him go. She just wished he would remember who he was. It was hard talking to him when he didn't know.

"Were you just talking to David Nolan?" Emma asked as she sat down in the booth across from Hanna.

"Yeah," Hanna said with a shrug of her shoulders.

"What did he want?" Emma asked.

"Nothing…will you buy me a grilled cheese? Please?" Hanna begged as she gave her sister a charming smile.

"Fine," Emma said with a roll of her eyes. "Go tell Ruby we need two."

"Yes! Thanks!" Hanna said as she jumped up and gave Ruby their order. After dinner, she was going to have to figure out just how she was going to get David's message to Miss Blanchard.
