Chapter 10

Emma, Henry, and Hanna just entered the loft after a trip to the grocery store. There was a welcome home party at Granny's tonight. They had decided they were going to make tacos and had to go to the store to get the supplies. They all walked towards the kitchen, but stopped in front of David and Mary Margaret's room when they saw they were still in bed.

"What are you guys still doing in bed?" Henry asked.

"Yeah, it's the middle of the afternoon," Hanna said with a raise of her eyebrows.

"The trip back was tiring, and I needed to rest," Snow said innocently.

"And I needed to help her rest," David added.

Hanna looked up at Emma. She thought it was odd that her mom was so tired that she needed to stay in bed until the afternoon, while Emma had already been up and gone to the grocery store. They had both just gotten back. Why was her mom the only one that was so tired? Hanna also wondered why Emma's mouth was hanging open as she looked at their parents.

"Uh let's…let's go make the tacos," Emma said as she pushed the kids towards the kitchen, "we have to make a lot because there's going to be a lot of people at Granny's welcome back party tonight."

Hanna just shrugged her shoulders and followed Henry into the kitchen. She really wasn't sure what just happened, but they had a lot of tacos to make and she wanted to get started.

That evening, they all headed over to Granny's for the celebration. Everyone began to cheer when they walked through the door. Not only did David, Hanna, and Henry miss Snow and Emma, but the whole town did too. They were so happy to have them back.

David had just finished up his speech, and everyone was raising their glass for a toast when the door opened. Someone else was joining their party. It was Regina. "Sorry I'm late," she said as she walked in the door balancing a pan of lasagna in her arms.

Everyone was shocked to see the Evil Queen walking into the diner. A lot of people in the town still feared her, and others just didn't like her, let alone want her at the party. She had inflicted so much pain on these people back in the Enchanted Forest. Not to mention she's the one who cast the curse that brought them to this town. Nobody wanted her here. She wasn't welcome. "What is she doin here?" Grumpy asked, his tone making his dislike for Regina very clear.

"Uh…I invited her," Hanna said as she nervously looked around the room. She really didn't think about how people were going to react to Regina being here. Hanna had seen Regina earlier today while they were at the grocery store. Emma and Henry were in a different aisle looking for taco shells. Hanna was getting the cheese when she ran into Regina. She told her about the party and asked her if she was going to be there. Regina told her she didn't know about it. Hanna told her she should come. She also told her everyone was bringing something to eat, so she probably should too. Hanna had noticed the look on Regina's face when they all had left Mr. Gold's shop yesterday to go to Granny's. She hadn't been invited to come, and she looked sad. Hanna felt sorry for her. Even though she had almost prevented her mom and Emma from returning to Storybrooke, she ended up doing the right thing in the end. Hanna was trying to see the best in her for Henry.

Hanna felt her mom grab her by the arm and pull her over to where her father was standing. Hanna really hoped they weren't going to be mad at her for inviting Regina. She hadn't really thought about what her parents would think when she extended the invitation. She thought she was doing the right thing. Isn't that what her parents always did…not the easy thing, but the right thing? She may not have known her parents all that well, but she had read all about them in the stories from Henry's book. She knew they believed in doing what was honorable.

"Why did you invite her?" David asked Hanna. He honestly had no idea why his daughter would invite Regina to this party, especially after what had happened yesterday.

"Emma and Mom are back because of her," Hanna told them.

"Hanna. She tried to kill your sister and me yesterday," Snow told her daughter.

"I know," Hanna said as her eyes fell to the floor, "but she didn't. She's trying to change for Henry. Can't we just give her a chance?" Hanna looked up at her parents, hoping that they would listen to what she said and not be disappointed in her.

Snow and Charming looked at each other, then looked back at their little girl. They gave her a smile and nodded their heads. They figured they could try to give Regina a chance. They may not completely trust her, but they would try to notice the good things she has done.

Hanna was relieved that her parents weren't mad about her asking Regina to come. She gave them both a hug and ran off to find Henry. He was cutting himself a piece of Regina's lasagna. Hanna decided to get herself a piece too. They sat down in the booth together to eat their food. Hanna thought the lasagna was delicious, it definitely had a kick to it.

"Thanks for inviting her," Henry said as he smiled at Hanna.

"No big deal," Hanna said as she shrugged her shoulders.

But it was a big deal to Henry. Even though she's done a lot of terrible things, Henry loved Regina. He was her mom too. He wanted her to change and become a better person. He wanted to give her a chance, and he was glad Hanna wanted to give her one too.

"Wanna play darts?" Henry asked with a raise of his eyebrows.

"You're so on," Hanna said with a roll of her eyes. She was really good and Henry rarely beat her. She had a lot of practice. When she was hanging out at Granny's and didn't have any homework to do or finished the book she was reading, she would throw darts. Usually by herself. Sometimes Ruby would join in and play with her when work was slow.

They had managed to convince Grumpy and Sneezy to play a little two on two with them. Grumpy was on Hanna's team, which left Henry with Sneezy. Hanna laughed because every time Sneezy went to throw a dart he would live up to his name and let out a sneeze causing the dart to completely miss the board. Although, once Grumpy was up to throw, it was Henry's turn to laugh. Grumpy didn't even come close to the board either. He usually wasn't a bad aim, but he may have had a few too many drinks, and it was throwing him off. It pretty much ended up being a match between Hanna and Henry. The dwarves were no help at all. Hanna and Grumpy still ended up winning though. Henry wasn't too thrilled about it, but he was use to Hanna beating him.

"I just beat Henry at darts!" Hanna told her dad as the two kids ran up to him.

"That's my girl," David said as he gave her a high five.

"Yeah, play me at any video game and you're going down," Henry teased.

Hanna knew he had her there. She was not very good at video games. They had gone to the arcade several times, and he always beat her. No matter what they played.

"Okay, whatever," Hanna said as she rolled her eyes. "Are they cutting the cake yet?" she asked her dad.

"Yeah," David said with a laugh. "Your mom is cutting it right now."

Hanna and Henry eagerly ran over to Snow to get a piece.

"Hey, Grandma! Can I have chocolate?" Henry said.

"Of course," Snow said as she handed a piece to her grandson. "What kind would you like Hanna?" She was curious to know what kind of cake her daughter would choose. Would she pick chocolate like Henry or did she prefer vanilla?

"Just vanilla," Hanna said with a smile.

"That's my favorite too," Snow said with a wink as she handed Hanna the cake.

"Thanks mom," Hanna said as she turned and went to sit with Henry.

"Uh…I really want another piece," Henry said as he eyed up the rest of the cake Snow left sitting on the counter.

"Let's go ask my dad. He doesn't know we've already had two pieces," Hanna said with a mischievous grin on her face. It was probably the best cake she had ever eaten and she really wanted one more taste. They had gone straight back to Snow for a second piece as soon as they finished their first. She allowed them to have one more, but told them that was it. Henry returned the grin, and they both looked around the diner to make sure the coast was clear. David was on one end of the room talking to Dr. Hopper, while Snow was talking to Ruby on the other side nowhere near the cake.

"Dad, can we have another piece of cake…please?" Hanna made sure to turn on the charm in her eyes when she looked at him so he would be sure to say yes. She knew he had a hard time saying no when she gave him that look.

"I guess a second piece isn't going to hurt," David told the kids. He couldn't tell them no. It was a party after all.

"Thanks!" they both said at the same time just before they turned to grab their third piece. They made their way back to the booth to enjoy their treat.

They made it about half way through their pieces when Snow and Emma came up to join them in the booth. "You guys, did you go get another piece of cake?" Snow asked, already knowing the answer.

They both just looked up at the two adults standing in front of them not sure what to say. They had tried to eat it before Snow noticed, but she noticed. They were totally busted. "Dad said we could," Hanna said as she looked up at her mother, giving her the eyes.

"Dad said we could what?" David said with a raise of his eyebrows as he came up behind his wife.

Oh crap, Hanna thought. Now we're double busted.

"Did you tell them they could have another piece of cake?" Snow asked as she crossed her arms and looked at her husband.

"It was just two pieces, Snow. What's the big deal?"

"Three," Snow said as she shook her head and held up three fingers. "They already came up and got a second piece from me."

"Guys, you played me. You knew I thought you had only had one piece," David said to the guilty looking cake eaters in the booth.

"Sorry," Hanna winced. They didn't really seem too mad, but she wasn't sure.

"Can we at least finish them since we've already started?" Henry asked looking hopefully up at the grown ups. He really hoped he wasn't pushing it.

"Might as well," Snow said with a roll of her eyes as she sat down next to Hanna. "You have to give me some though," she told Hanna with a grin as she picked up a fork and stole a bite.

Hanna just laughed and quickly picked up her fork to eat before her mom finished all her cake.

"You know you guys are either going to have a major sugar rush or be totally sick later, right?" Emma said as she sat down next to Henry.

Both kids just shrugged their shoulders. They didn't care. All they cared about was the fact that they had gotten away with eating three pieces of cake.

Emma was right though. A sugar rush and an upset stomach took place at the loft that night. Henry was feeling the effects as soon as he walked in the door. His stomach was not happy with the three pieces of chocolate cake he had eaten. He felt so sick. All he wanted to do was go to bed and hope that this feeling would be gone by morning. Hanna on the other hand was totally bouncing off of the walls. She begged her parents and Emma to stay up and watch a movie and play games with her, but they all refused and made her go to bed. They were all way too tired to stay up, plus they figured this may teach Hanna not to eat so many sweets that late at night. It took about two hours before Hanna finally crashed. She entertained herself by coloring an entire coloring book. She started to nod off right as she finished the last page. She had just enough energy to climb into her bed and go to sleep.

Hanna woke up the next morning to the sun shining bright in her room. She groaned and rolled over, covering her face with her pillow. It felt like she had just gone to sleep a few minutes ago. She was so not ready to get up, but the stupid sun was too bright. After a few minutes, she gave in to the fact that she wasn't going back to sleep and got out of bed. As usual, Henry was already up.

When she got to the bottom of the stairs, she could smell breakfast. It almost made her sick. She was still full from last night. She did not feel like eating anything. She headed straight for the couch. She sat down pulling her knees to her chest and laying her head down on them. Henry was sitting on the other end watching cartoons. She didn't see Emma anywhere, and her parents were in the kitchen cleaning up breakfast.

"We saved you some breakfast," Snow said to her sleepy daughter. She couldn't help but smile at Hanna's crazy hair and grumpy expression.

"Not hungry," Hanna practically grunted at her mom.

"At least drink some orange juice," she said as she held out a glass.

Hanna just looked up at her mom…still grumpy faced of course. She really didn't want it, but the look on her mom's face told her she should probably just take it. "Fine," she said with a roll of her eyes, and she took the orange juice from her. She drank it slowly, but was surprised that she felt a lot better by the time she finished the glass. She definitely didn't feel as tired as she was, and she decided to enjoy the morning cartoons with Henry.

After about an hour, Emma came trudging down the stairs. She grabbed a cup of coffee and plopped herself onto a bar stool. Hanna made her way over and climbed up onto one of the stools as well.

"Looks like we found someone who sleeps in later than you," David told Hanna with a wink.

Hanna grinned at her dad and turned to her mom. "Can I have some breakfast now?" she asked shyly.

"Of course you can," Snow said with a smile as she set a plate down in front of Emma and turned to get her youngest daughter one too. Snow was overjoyed at the chance to make her daughters breakfast.

"So what are we going to do today?" Henry asked as he came up next to Hanna, who had just finished the last bite of her breakfast.

"Well, maybe we could go to the beach and…" David suggested just as he was cut off by the sound of thunder booming in the distance.

"Seriously," Hanna and Emma both said at the same time as they looked towards the window.

"The storm couldn't have started a little earlier," Emma groaned. "I'd still be asleep."

"Yeah, that stupid sun woke me up," Hanna complained. "At least you got to sleep in an hour more than I did," Hanna said as she laid her head on her hand.

Snow and Charming just looked at each other and laughed. Neither one of their daughters seemed to like mornings. Snow learned that about Emma while they were in the Enchanted Forest and Charming discovered Hanna's dislike for mornings while they were here in Storybrooke. They loved learning new little pieces of information about their daughters. These were things they should have already known, but they didn't want to dwell on what should have been. They were going to enjoy the time they had with their daughters right now.

"Looks like we're going to have to find something to do inside," David said. He smiled at his grumpy girls hoping to cheer them up a bit.

Hanna and Emma just wanted to curl up with a warm blanket and sleep through the storm, but the others managed to convince them to stay up to play games and watch movies. For some reason, the curse provided Mary Margaret with a selection of board games. They all looked at their options and decided on Pictionary. There were five of them, so they were going to have to have a team of three and a team of two. Emma, Hanna, and Henry were one team, while Snow and David were the other.

"Everybody ready?" Henry asked excitedly. He couldn't wait to get started.

Each team rolled the dice; Emma rolled a higher number than Snow, so their team got to go first. Emma and Hanna decided to let Henry draw first.

"Kid, come on! Times almost up," Emma told him. "You gotta give us something more than that."

"Is it a spaceship?" Hanna asked.

"The sun?" Emma guessed.

"A banana, a remote control, a tree," Emma and Hanna both just kept guessing anything. They really had no idea what he was trying to draw.

Henry just shook his head at their attempts to figure out what he was drawing. He was really trying hard, but he wasn't the best drawer.

"Times up!" David practically cheered. It was only the first round and he was already getting competitive.

"Henry, what the heck is that?" Hanna asked him.

"It's a light switch," Henry said a little defeated. "See here's the wall where the light switch is," he said pointing to one part of his picture, "and that's the light up there," he said pointing to the object that was above the supposed light switch.

"It's okay, kid," Emma told him as she put her arm over his shoulder. "I see it now."

Hanna was pretty sure Emma was lying. She still had no idea how anything Henry drew looked like a light switch. Hanna was just glad it was her turn to draw when their team was up again. She was really good. Emma and Henry were not going to have a hard time guessing what she drew.

However, Hanna was never able to take her turn as the drawer. Snow and David were up, and they made their way around the whole game board without missing one. Snow was a really good drawer, so she made it easy for David to guess. David, on the other hand, had about the same skills as Henry, but Snow always managed to guess what he drew anyways. His drawing of a birthday cake looked more like a blob of mud with sticks coming out of the top, but that didn't stop her from guessing correctly. Snow had barely started her drawing of a seahorse when he yelled out the answer. Emma, Henry and Hanna were dumbfounded. They couldn't believe Snow White and Prince Charming had totally kicked their butts in Pictionary. They were pretty much unstoppable when they were teamed up together.

"Okay, you guys are definitely not allowed to be on the same team for the next game," Hanna told them very seriously. Emma and Henry agreed.

Snow and David just laughed. They didn't realize how good they would be at this game. They knew each other so well they practically just read the other's mind when guessing.

The teams were reorganized, and the next game was about to begin. David had Hanna and Emma on his team, which put Henry and Snow on the other.

"Okay girls, you ready?" David asked his daughters who were sitting on either side of him.

"Mhmm," they both said as they stared down their competition.

"We got this Henry," Snow said as she gave him a wink.

This time the teams were more evenly matched, and the game went along more normally. Each team getting a fair amount of turns. It came down to the very last round. If Hanna and Emma could guess David's drawing, then they would win the game. If not, the turn would go to Snow and Henry. It was Snow's turn to draw and Henry had guessed every one of her drawings so far.

"Dad, come on," Hanna whined. Time was running out, and her and Emma had no idea what he was trying to draw.

"Times up, times up!" Henry squealed with excitement has he waved the timer in Hanna's face.

"Seriously, what were you trying to draw?" Emma asked David with a laugh.

"It's an ocean," Snow chimed in. She figured out what it was fairly quickly.

Hanna and Emma both looked over at her, eyebrows raised. "You got an ocean from that?" Emma asked as she pointed to David's feeble attempt at drawing.

Snow just shrugged her shoulders and turned to Henry. "Read to win this?" she asked her grandson.

Henry just nodded, trying to hold back a grin. He knew they already had this game in the bag. Hanna knew it too. She slumped her head onto her hand and watched as the other team was about to win the game. And win they did. It only took Henry a few seconds to guess that Snow was drawing a shadow, allowing them to move into the winner's square. Henry cheered at their victory and gave his grandma a high-five.

They played a few more rounds, switching up the teams a little each time, always being careful not to allow Snow and David to be on the same team again. They decided to call it quits after awhile though. Everyone was getting a little irritable when they lost, so Snow suggested they take a break and eat something. She figured the combination of losing a round of Pictionary and empty stomachs was the cause of the moodiness. They whipped up some sandwiches, cut up some fruit, and pulled out a bag of potato chips. Everyone felt much better, and their moods definitely improved once lunch was over.

"Let play this. Please, please, I love this game!" Hanna said as she held up a deck of UNO cards.

"Oh me too!" Henry said just as excited.

The adults just smiled and agreed to what the kids had chosen for their next activity. The cards were dealt and the game had begun. The first couple of games went along fairly pleasantly. Hanna and Henry were the only two that had won a game so far though. That's when the gloves came off, and everyone wasn't playing as nicely. The adults were not about to let these kids win again. There were draw fours thrown out at every chance. Henry and Hanna thought it was funny to put a skip card down so that the adults beside them didn't get a turn. Emma, Snow, and David were pretty sure Henry and Hanna picked up every skip card in the deck. They got their revenge though when they would use a wild card to switch colors, causing them to draw several cards from the pile until they matched the color that was chosen. Hanna was about to win again. She put down a blue 4 and only had a blue 7 left. As long as the color didn't change she was in the clear. However, she forgot one very important part of the game.

"You didn't say UNO!" Emma shouted, practically jumping out of her seat.

Hanna's mouth fell open, she let her head fall into her hands. She couldn't believe that she forgot to say "UNO." That was the name of the game. She had called her mom out on it earlier when she forgot. Hanna was just too excited about winning that it slipped her mind. She thought maybe she could still get away with it.

"Come on, can't I have a do-over? Please!" Hanna begged as she looked around the table.

"Uh, no way. No do-overs," Emma told her.

Hanna looked over at her mom. The only person she figured might be on her side. She knew there was no way the boys would let her get away with it. "Don't look at me," Snow started to tell her, "I didn't get any do-overs."

"Fine," Hanna grumbled as she went to draw more cards from the deck. She didn't really think anybody was going to let her get away with it, but she had to try.

David ended up winning the game. Hanna had actually gotten close. She only had one card left too, but David's turn was before hers and he went out first.

Everyone was ready for dinner after that last round of UNO. The games had lasted longer than they thought. Henry and Hanna helped David make a couple of pizzas, while Emma and Snow cut up stuff for a salad.

After dinner, Emma suggested that they watch a movie. She was not really up for another game. She had the perfect movie in mind too. She went up to her room to get it.

"Harry Potter?" Hanna asked when Emma showed her the movie she had chosen.

"Seriously, you don't know who Harry Potter is?" Emma asked her sister.

"Uh, no. I lived in a cursed town for 28 years remember."

"Well, you're seriously missing out. I'm guessing no one else has heard of Harry Potter either then?"

Everyone just shook their heads. That was another downside to living in a town that repeated the same day over and over again, you never got to experience anything new that was going on in the world.

"Okay, it's pretty much about a boy who learns that he is a wizard and goes to school to learn how to use magic and…" Emma started to explain, but she knew her explanation wasn't doing the movie any justice. Harry Potter was very complex, it was hard to describe what it was all about. "let's just watch, you'll see. This is the first one."

"How many are there?" Snow asked her daughter.

"Seven books, eight movies," Emma told her.

Hanna had gone to use the bathroom real quick before the movie started, and by the time she made it back to the living room, everyone had claimed their seat. Emma and Henry each sat in one of the armchairs, while Snow and David sat on either end of the couch. That left Hanna with the seat right in between them. She stopped for a moment when she realized where she was going to have to sit. She felt a little nervous. She was pretty sure everyone sat in those particular seats for a reason. She figured Emma picked the chair because she didn't want to get stuck in between their parents on the couch. Henry knew Emma wasn't ready to sit on the couch in between her parents, but he kind of wanted to push Hanna into it, so he sat in the other chair. While Snow and David made sure to sit on opposite ends of the couch, so they would each get a chance to sit by their youngest daughter. Hanna didn't know what to do. She could just grab a pillow and lay on the floor, but that would only make her feel guilty for pushing her parents away. She decided to give in and just sit where everyone seemed to want her to sit. As she sat down and covered herself up with a blanket, she didn't notice the smiles that appeared on her parents' faces.

Emma enjoyed the comments that were made by the different members of her family throughout the movie.

"Wait, they make him sleep under the stairs?" Snow asked. She was very appalled that they would to that to poor Harry, especially since they were suppose to be his family.

"What's up with that guy in the turban? I don't trust him." David said.

"Yes! They won!" Henry cheered when the golden snitch popped out of Harry's mouth at the end of his first quidditch match.

"I think maybe Malfoy just needs punched in the face," Hanna said when Draco got Harry, Ron, and Hermione in trouble with Professor McGonagall for being out of bed at night.

"Ah I knew it!" David said towards the end of the movie when Harry discovered that Quirrell was the one who was trying to steal the stone instead of Snape.

Emma had enjoyed their reactions to the movie almost as much as the movie itself. She was eager to see how they responded to the rest of the movies, but that would have to wait for another night. She wanted to go to bed.

Hanna and Henry were ready for bed too even though they denied it. They begged to stay up and watch the next movie.

"You guys could hardly keep your eyes open at the end of the movie," Emma said to them as she started to make her way upstairs. They didn't respond because they knew she was right. Henry's couldn't even keep his head up and Hanna actually did fall asleep for about a minute. She woke up with a start and found herself resting her head on her mom's shoulder with her feet stretched out on her dad's lap. She wasn't really sure how she felt about that, but she was too comfortable to move.

Hanna had her teeth brushed, pajamas on, and she was now in a fight with her hair. Her hair had been in a ponytail and she had made the mistake of trying to pull her hair tie out too quickly. She rolled her eyes in frustration. She knew if she would just take her time and move slowly, it would come out without any problem. She did this all the time though. She couldn't stand sleeping with anything in her hair, and she would get to the point where she was so tired that she would just try to yank it out real fast. It somehow knotted itself around her thick curly hair and wouldn't come out. She would always have to ask one of the ladies at the orphanage to help her. Hanna slumped her shoulders in defeat, she was going to have to ask somebody for help. She looked over at Henry who was fast asleep. She knew Emma was already asleep for sure, and she didn't want to bother her. So, she reluctantly went downstairs to see if one of her parents was still awake. She made it halfway down the stairs when she heard her mom.

"Everything okay?" Snow asked Hanna as she walked towards the bottom of the stairs. She could tell by the look on her face something was wrong.

"I can't get this stupid thing out," Hanna complained as she tugged on the hair tie.

Snow just gave her daughter a smile. "Here let me help you," she said as she walked up the stairs. She followed Hanna into her bedroom. "Here come sit down on the bed." Hanna sat down, and Snow sat behind her trying to assess the damage. "Good news is, it doesn't look like we'll have to cut the hair tie out." Hanna smiled a little at her mother. Snow was very gentle and took her time trying to untangle her daughter's hair. She knew exactly how to handle hair like this. "There you go," Snow said as she held out the hair tie to Hanna.

"Thanks," Hanna said with a smile. "You're really good at that." Hanna was used to her hair being pulled whenever she had to ask someone for help when she got herself into this situation, but this time she didn't feel a thing.

"Well, I've had a lot of practice. My hair use to be a lot longer and a lot like yours."

"Yeah I remember from the pictures in Henry's book," Hanna said as she yawned and rubbed her eyes.

Snow saw an opportunity to tuck her little girl in for the first time, and she decided to take it. "Come on, let's get you into bed." Hanna just nodded and crawled up to the top of her bed and got under the covers. She was so tired and wasn't thinking clearly when she grabbed her baby blanket out from under her pillow and covered herself up with it. Hanna always kept it under her pillow, and only pulled it out at night after everyone else was asleep. She was a little embarrassed that she still had to sleep with her blanket, so she did a very good job of hiding it.

Snow looked down at her daughter and gasped, "That blanket, where did you get it?"

Hanna's shook her head, trying to comprehend what her mom had just said. Blanket? Oh crap. Did I seriously just pull my stupid blanket out. "Uh…I'm not really sure. I've had since I was a baby."

"I remember it. I made it. Well Mary Margaret made it." Snow started to say.

"What?" Hanna asked in disbelief. There was no way her mom had been the one to make her blanket. Was there?

"I use to make baby blankets and donate them to the orphanage. I remember this one." Snow said as she picked up Hanna's blanket to get a better look at it. The blanket was just like Emma's, except the yarn was purple and the ribbon that was woven through it was white. There was no name on it either, of course, but it did resemble the one Emma had.

Hanna smiled as she watched her mom examine her blanket. Hanna wasn't too sentimental about things, except when it came that blanket. She loved it so much and she wasn't really sure why, until now. Her mom had actually been the one to make this object that was so special to her. Now, she loved her blanket even more. "Thanks for making it," Hanna said as she drifted off to sleep. She could barely keep her eyes open anymore.

Snow set the blanket down and wiped a tear from her eye. She couldn't believe Hanna had one of the blankets she had made. She was touched that Hanna loved the blanket so much. Snow was glad she was able to provide some comfort to her little girl while she was growing up, even if neither of them actually knew about it until now. She covered Hanna back up with the blanket and just watched her little girl sleep. She thought about how little she really knew about her. She didn't know what her first word was or when she took her first steps. She didn't even know her favorite color. Snow thought back to a night in the Enchanted Forest when she had asked Emma what she knew about Hanna.

"Could you tell me about her? About Hanna?" Snow had asked Emma one night. They were on watch duty while Mulan and Aurora slept. "I don't know much about her. I mean she was a student in my class, and I was very fond of her then, but I didn't really know her. I knew she was smart and made good grades. I knew Henry was her best friend, but that's all. I do remember her when she was a baby too. I only got to be with her for a few minutes, but I did get a few smiles out of her before…" Snow looked down at the ground and wiped a tear from her eye, unable to finish the sentence. That night was the hardest night of her life. She had to send one of her girls through the wardrobe, while leaving the other all alone when the curse was cast. Emma really didn't know what to say, but she kind of understood how Mary Margaret was feeling. She hadn't known a whole lot about Henry either. Yes, she had gotten to know him very well over the last several months, but in the beginning it was hard to look into the eyes of her son and not know everything there was to know about him. Emma thought hard for a minute about what she knew about her little sister. "Well," Emma started, "she is very persistent. That's for sure. Her and Henry never stopped trying to convince me that the curse was real. They were always on my case about it." That made Snow smile, and she looked at Emma wanting to hear more. "She can be a sneaky little one too. She likes to climb in and out of her bedroom window at the orphanage whenever she feels like it and roam around town. I'm pretty sure she's never actually used the front door." Snow made a mental to keep a close eye on her when they got home. She didn't want her daughter sneaking out of the house on a regular basis. "She tries to act tough a lot of the time too, I think it's just because of how she grew up, but she is actually pretty sensitive. You can see it in her eyes when she gets upset or is starting to panic about something. But, I learned that if she really trusts you, you'll be able to calm her down. There was one moment, after Henry took a bite of the turnover, when she was totally freaking out on me. I tried to get her to calm down, but she didn't trust me, yet. She was so mad at me for not believing them about the curse. She blamed me for what happened to Henry. After I broke the curse though, I think that's when she started trusting me. She was panicking right before we came to find you and I was able to calm her down and convince her to come." Snow nodded her head, really trying to take in all of what Emma was telling her. She had experienced how Hanna acted when she was upset. She remembered when she had to drag Hanna kicking and screaming from Henry's hospital room. She had tried to calm Hanna down after they were out of the room, but Hanna just screamed and her, telling her to go away. Thinking about that now, as Hanna's mother, really made Snow upset. She couldn't even console her scared, sad, little girl. She hoped she would be able to earn Hanna's trust when they returned home. She was pretty sure both of her girls put on a tough exterior that hid other feelings. They were both going to be tough nuts to crack for sure. "Uh…" Emma said, trying to think of something else. "she loves grilled cheese. That's the only thing she'll order at Granny's. Oh and she likes cinnamon on her hot chocolate, just like we do." Emma smiled at that one too. She thought it was neat that that particular family trait had trickled down to her and Hanna even though they were never raised together or by their parents. Emma couldn't even remember how she first started putting cinnamon on her hot chocolate, its not like many people did that. She wondered how Hanna came to put cinnamon on her hot chocolate too. "Thank you Emma," Snow told her daughter. She really did appreciate the things Emma had told her. She felt like she knew her other daughter a little bit more now. "You know I would like to know more about you, when you're ready," Snow told Emma as she reached out and held her hand. "Uh, yeah…there will be plenty time for that when we get back to Storybrooke," Emma said nervously as she pulled her hand away from her mother. Emma knew they had been talking about Hanna, but she felt like she revealed some things about herself too. She felt exposed, and she didn't like it. She wasn't ready to open up to her mom right now. "I'm gonna go wake up Mulan," Emma said as she stood up. "I think it's about time to switch watch shifts. I need some sleep." Snow watched as her daughter walked away. It definitely wasn't going to be easy, but she was determined to get through her daughters' tough exteriors and be there when they were ready to open up.

Snow was pulled back from her memory when she heard her little girl moaning in her sleep. Snow figured she must be having a bad dream. She gently began to brush her fingers through Hanna's hair. She remembered her mother doing that for her when she was upset as a child. It was always very calming. After only a few seconds, Hanna began to calm down and was sleeping peacefully once again. "Momma's here for you my sweet girl," Snow said as she gave Hanna a kiss on her forehead. "I will always be here for you."
