Twins
VuryEvilquem asked for a oneshot of Hanna finding out David has a twin too. This one is set during season 2 when Snow and Emma were still stuck in the Enchanted Forest.
"What are you looking at there, kiddo?" David asked as he sat down on the couch next to Hanna.
"Just reading these stories again," Hanna said with s shrug. "This one has you in it."
"What was I doing? Trapping your mother in a net?" David asked with a laugh.
Hanna shook her head. "No, this is before that. When you found out you had a twin."
"Oh…" David remembered the day Rumplestiltskin came to their farm, revealing his parents' secret. The fact that he never got to know his twin brother still saddened him to this day.
Hanna looked up at her dad. "You never even knew him, did you?"
"No, I didn't. I wish I would have though."
Hanna nodded her head and looked down at the book. She couldn't stop thinking about Emma.
David noticed the sad look on his little girl's face. "What is it?" he asked, placing his arm around her.
Hanna sighed and shook her head. "Nothing."
"Hanna, you can tell me."
"It's just…what if that happens to Emma and me? We're twins just like you and James, and what if we never get to know each other either, just like you two?"
"You know Emma. You've spent a lot of time with her," David said. Hanna followed Emma around like she was her little shadow the last several months. He may have been cursed, but David remembered seeing those two together a lot.
"But that wasn't the same. She didn't really believe that I was her sister then. When she finally did believe she…she got taken away from me," Hanna said as a few tears fell down her cheeks.
"Hanna, it's okay," David said, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her close. He wasn't sure if this was the best way to comfort her. He only just found out about her a few days ago. He wasn't sure if she was comfortable with this, but this is what his instincts told him to do.
Hanna tensed up for a minute at the embrace, but quickly relaxed in her dad's arms. "What if we never get them back. What if…what if I never get to know Emma like a sister?" Hanna tried to make herself stop crying, but she couldn't.
"We are going to find them," David said, holding her tighter. He understood how Hanna felt all too well. "I will bring her back to you. You will know your sister."
"You promise?" Hanna asked with a sniffle as she looked up at her dad for confirmation.
David's heart broke seeing his little girl's tear stained cheeks. "I promise you Hanna. I will find a way."
Hanna nodded and laid her head on his chest, letting him comfort her. She wasn't use to all of this affection, but Hanna did know one thing. She felt safe in his strong arms, and he eased her worries for now. She really believed that he would get her mom and sister back.
