That Pesky Little Time
A guest asked for a oneshot of Hanna getting her first time of the month.
This one is set during the 6 week period between 4A and 4B.
And there it was…Hanna learned about all of this at school. They tell you everything that happens when you "become a woman." Well, apparently that was happening today for Hanna. The one thing they don't tell you in school is that pesky little time of the month can come at the absolute worst times. Everyone was having dinner at Granny's…and by everyone, Hanna meant everyone. Practically the whole town. They were celebrating the fact that they had gone a whole month without someone or something terrorizing the town. No curses or villains have found their way into Storybrooke since the Snow Queen. That was definitely a reason to throw a party, and of course, this had to happen to Hanna right in the middle of it.
Hanna just wanted her Mom, but she didn't know how to get her without everyone finding out about it, and they would surely find out if they took one look at the back of her pants. She thought maybe if she sat in here long enough, her mom would just come looking for her. That was the only plan she had for now. She was not going out there.
Hanna's planned worked and within ten minutes, Snow was coming into the bathroom searching for her daughter.
"Hanna, are you alright, sweetie?"
Hanna slowly looked up at her mom and shook her head. "Can you take me home?"
"What's wrong? Are you sick?" Snow asked as she came up to check for sign of fever or a cold.
"No, I"m not sick…I'm just a girl," Hanna told her as she looked down.
"Oh…" Snow said, understanding what Hanna was telling her. "Hey, it's okay. I can take you home," Snow said as she gently lifted her chin and gave her a smile.
"Okay," Hanna said with a nod of her head.
Snow went to let Charming know that Hanna wasn't feeling well and that she was taking her home. He offered to come too, but she told him to stay here with the baby and enjoy the party. He wanted to come, but could sense something in her voice and agreed to stay. Snow discreetly took Hanna out the back door without anybody noticing and brought her home.
"Alright sweetie, why don't you…" Snow said once they got inside. She turned to find Hanna in tears. "Oh baby, it's okay." Snow said as she pulled Hanna into her arms and held her tight.
Hanna wrapped her arms around her mom and let her tears fall. She wasn't even sure why she was crying. She was being stupid. But why did this have to happen to her, especially tonight. Being a girl was so unfair sometimes.
"Hey, look at me," Snow said as she lifted Hanna's head with her hands and wiped the tears away with her thumbs. "You're going to be just fine, okay?"
"Okay," Hanna said with a sniffle.
"Why don't you go upstairs and get some clean clothes. I'll run you a bath so you can get all cleaned up, and then we can talk. Sound good?" Snow told her with a smile.
Hanna just gave her mom a smile back and nodded her head. Being a girl wasn't fun sometimes, but Hanna was just grateful she had her mom here to help her through it all.
