Chapter 4

Over the next few weeks, some very big events took place in Storybrooke. They found out John Doe was really named David Nolan and he was already married to a woman named Kathryn. Even though he had a wife, Hanna and Henry were pretty sure David and Mary Margaret were seeing each other in secret. Sheriff Graham had died and Emma became the new Sheriff of Storybrooke. According to the medical examiners, Graham had died of a heart attack, but Hanna and Henry knew better. They knew who Graham really was in the Enchanted Forest and that Regina was the one behind his death. The worst thing of all that happened was the disappearance of Kathryn Nolan and that Mary Margaret was being framed for her murder.

Emma walked into the diner after dropping Henry off at Regina's. She noticed the other young child, who was also constantly trying to convince her that she was the savior and was going to break the curse, sitting in one of the booths. Henry and Hanna seemed to follow Emma around everywhere explaining to her why someone in town was a character from the storybook and trying to make her believe. They tried to tell her the pregnant girl Emma was helping was actually Cinderella. And when Emma helped two orphaned kids find their father, they claimed the twins were Hansel and Gretel. Emma still didn't believe anything the kids told her, but she continued to go along with it. The talk of fairytales wore her out a bit, but she really didn't mind all that much. She had gotten use to them hanging around and found herself enjoying their company.

Emma sat down across from Hanna, both with looks of defeat on their face. The evidence against Mary Margaret just kept piling up, and neither one of them knew what to do to help her.

"You eat yet?" Emma asked her.

Hanna just shook her head. She hadn't had any money to buy food tonight, and she didn't care to go to back to the orphanage for dinner. This has happened a few times, these dinners with Emma. Emma would pop into Granny's while Hanna was there doing her homework or reading and buy her something to eat. She liked spending time with Emma. They talked and got to know each other. Hanna tried to lay off the fairytale talk during those times. She just wanted to get to know Emma. She let herself enjoy these moments with her sister.

"Two grilled cheeses then?" she asked as she got up to place the order. Emma didn't need to wait for a response. She learned that Hanna loved grilled cheese just as much as she did.

Emma noticed Hanna was barely touching her food. Ruby had brought the sandwiches about ten minutes ago, and Hanna had hardly eaten any of it. She knew what was wrong. It was the same thing that had her feeling down. A woman they both cared about was being blamed for murder. Emma tried to put on a strong front when she was around Hanna and Henry. She didn't want them to worry, but truth be told, she was starting to get worried herself. There was so much evidence against Mary Margaret. She didn't know what she was going to do to get her friend out of this. But, she was determined. She knew there was no way Mary Margaret was the one who killed Kathryn and she was going to find a way to prove it.

"Hey, don't worry," Emma said and she reached out to grab Hanna's hand. "I will get to the bottom of this. I am not going to let Mary Margaret take the fall. Everything is going to be okay."

"You promise?" Hanna asked as she looked up at Emma with hopeful eyes.

"Yeah, I do," Emma said as she gave the girl a smile. "Now, eat your grilled cheese. You can't let a good sandwich like that go to waste."

Hanna just laughed and continued eating her sandwich. She felt a little better, and Emma seemed determined to prove their mother's innocence. She thought maybe things would turn out to be okay after all.

After finishing their dinner, Emma stood up to leave. "Okay Han, let's get you home."

Hanna smiled as she stood to leave with Emma. She liked the new nickname her sister had started calling her. She called her that by accident several days ago. Hanna told her she didn't mind it, so the name stuck. Emma had a nickname for Henry, so Hanna thought it was only fair that she had one too. Emma took Hanna home and thought nothing of it when the girl ran to the window instead of the front door. They waved goodbye to each other, Hanna went into her room and Emma drove home.

A few days later, there was a break in the case. Kathryn was found alive and Mary Margaret was free to go. There was a welcome home party for Mary Margaret and everyone was so happy for her. Henry and Hanna were overjoyed to have their teacher back, and Emma was glad her roommate would be returning home.

Hanna was sitting at Granny's reading one of her books when Henry ran in. "Hanna, thank goodness you're here. I've gotta talk to you."

"Henry, what's going on?" Hanna said as she closed her book. She knew that look in his eyes. Something had happened. She was starting to worry.

"It's Emma. I don't know why, but she tried to leave Storybrooke last night and take me with her. I had to practically wreck the car to get her to stop."

"She was going to leave?" Hanna felt a little hurt hearing that Emma was going to take Henry and just leave her behind.

"Yes, she brought me back home, but I still think she might leave on her own. We have to go try and stop her."

"Let's go," Hanna said without hesitation as she got up.

Hanna and Henry walked into the apartment as Emma was packing up her belongings. She explained to them that she had to go. She couldn't stay here anymore. She promised that she would still come and visit.

"No!" Hanna and Henry both said together.

"You can't leave," Hanna begged.

"You're the only one who can break the curse," Henry said practically shouting. "You're the only one who can stop her."

"What is that?" Hanna said pointing to a container sitting on the counter.

"It's from Regina," Emma answered, not really sure why that mattered.

Henry and Hanna both ran over and opened it.

"Apple," Henry said looking at Hanna.

Hanna stared back at him. "It's poison. You can't eat that." She said turning to Emma.

"Why would Regina try to poison me?" Emma said rolling her eyes at them.

"To get rid of the savior," Henry started. "As long as you're alive, you're a threat to the curse"

"You guys have to stop talking like this," Emma practically begged them. "There is no curse. The people in this town are not fairytale characters. This is crazy."

"It's all true," Henry shouted as he picked up the turnover. "I'm going to prove it to you. You'll see." He was becoming frustrated with Emma. After everything that happened since she had come here, why couldn't she believe. The proof was all around her. He was tired of it. He was just going to have to show her that they were telling the truth.

"Henry! No!" shouted Hanna

Henry took a bite and fell to the floor.

"Henry?" Emma said as she watched her son collapse right in front of her.

Hanna ran behind Emma as they rushed Henry into the hospital. She couldn't believe what had just happened. It all happened so fast. One minute they were just trying to convince Emma to stay in Storybrooke and the next, Henry was eating a poisoned apple turnover and falling to the floor. Why would he do that? Why would he eat it? Hanna thought to herself, as Emma was screaming at Dr. Whale that the turnover was to blame for Henry's unconsciousness, all the while knowing exactly why he took the bite. All Henry wanted, all Hanna wanted, was to make Emma believe, so she could break the Evil Queen's curse. They had done everything they could think of. They showed her the storybook, pointed out how people in the town were exactly like the characters in the tales written on those pages, and they even woke up a man from a coma by reading him those same stories. What more proof did she need? Hanna knew why Henry did this. She knew why he took that deadly bite. He was desperate. He didn't know what else to do to make Emma see what was clearly right in front of her. He made the sacrifice and Hanna knew who was to blame.

"This is all your fault!" Hanna shouted at Emma as tears streamed down her face.

Emma looked at her, eyes wide with shock.

"Why couldn't you just believe us?" Hanna continued. "That's all we wanted! This never would have happened if you just listened to us. Look what you've done. Henry would have never taken that bite if you just believed. Now, he might…" Hanna couldn't even finish that sentence. She couldn't bare to think that her best friend might die. "Well, is this enough proof? Do you believe now?" Hanna asked as she began sobbing uncontrollably covering her face with her hands.

"Han, I…" Emma began, tears falling from her eyes, as she reached out to touch Hanna's shoulder. "I'm sorry. I…"

"Don't!" Hanna shouted as she pulled away from her sister and continued to cry.

Emma backed away, surprised by Hanna's reaction. She turned to Henry's book bag and dumped all of it's contents onto the table hoping to find something that could have caused this. She saw the storybook and picked it up.

Hanna noticed what Emma was doing and just watched the expression on her sister's face when she held the book in her hands. She also watched the expression change when Regina walked in.

"Where's my son?" the mayor demanded.

"You did this." Emma said with eyes full of anger.

Hanna watched as Emma dragged Regina into the supply closet. She heard a bit of commotion. Hanna wasn't sure what just happened. Was Emma finally believing? She was pretty sure she had heard Emma ask Regina if it was all true. "It" meaning the curse? Hanna wasn't sure. At this point she really didn't care. She had spent too much time worrying about how to get Emma to believe, and right now all she could think about was Henry.

After a few moments, Emma and Regina emerged from the supply closet with determination in their eyes. Emma made her way over to Hanna and grabbed her shoulders making sure the girl was looking into her eyes. "I will fix this," she said looking at the Hanna for the first time as her sister.

"You promise?" Hanna asked quietly.

"Yeah I do," Emma told her, and the young girl wrapped her arms tightly around her. Emma returned the hug wanting to reassure Hanna that she was going to find a way to save Henry. "You stay here and watch over him, okay?" Emma said as Hanna loosened her grip.

Hanna nodded. After everything that had happened, Emma finally believed. She believed in the curse; she believed in them. She trusted that her sister would find a way to make sure Henry would be alright. Hanna believed in her.

As Emma and Regina left, Hanna went over to the spilled contents of Henry's book bag. She picked up the storybook and sat down in the chair next to Henry's bed. She opened the book and began to read. She didn't even pay attention to which story she had turned to. She knew Henry wouldn't mind, he loved all of the tales in this book. She just wanted to give him some comfort and to let him know that she was there with him and that she wasn't going anywhere. They had always been there for each other through everything, and this wasn't any different. He had been her best friend since kindergarten and she would never forget how they first met. Henry spilled red paint all over Hanna's picture she'd drawn of a majestic castle and the princess that lived inside. She had been working on it for days and was just about to start coloring it when Henry bumped his paint with his elbow, splattering it everywhere. The two five year olds immediately burst into tears. Hanna cried because her picture was ruined, and Henry, because he had been the one to do it. It took awhile, but their teacher finally got them calmed down, the red paint was cleaned up, and no harm was done—except for the fact that Hanna's castle and princess had been turned into a red blob. The next day though, Henry walked over to Hanna and handed her a piece of paper. She looked down and saw a drawing of a castle with a princess. It wasn't exactly like the one she had drawn, but she loved it. No one had ever done anything like that for her before. She smiled at Henry and asked him if he wanted help her color it. He agreed, and they both worked together to complete the picture. They had been practically inseparable ever since.

As Hanna continued to read, she felt a familiar tap on her shoulder. Hanna knew who it was before she even looked up. "I just heard what happened. How is he? Is he doing any…" but before she could finish, Hanna stood up, dropping the book, and wrapped her arms around her mother. Hanna started crying again. She had been holding back the tears while reading to Henry, but she couldn't do it anymore. Looking into Mary Margaret's loving eyes was like turning on a faucet, and the tears just spilled out. Hanna didn't care if Mary Margaret didn't think she was really her daughter. Right now, Hanna needed her mom. This was all too much. Mary Margaret just embraced the child, knowing that was what she needed right now. She sat down in the chair pulling Hanna onto her lap, rubbing circles on her back, allowing her to get all of her emotions out. "It's going to be okay," she told her. "Henry's going to be fine."

Hanna's crying slowed down a bit. "Will you…read…to…him?" Hanna asked in between sobs. She wanted Henry to still hear the stories, but she didn't think she could read anymore. She was too upset.

"Of course," Mary Margaret said as she reached down to grab the book off of the floor. She continued to read to Henry as Hanna laid her head on her shoulder. The comforting voice of her mother seemed to be calming her down. Hanna didn't usually act like this, she wasn't use to this kind of affection from people. None of the adults at the orphanage were very caring towards her. They were never outright mean either; they just didn't seem to notice her all that much. She had no idea what it was like to have someone comfort her in this way. She had always soothed her own tears. Now, it was her mother who was making the tears in her eyes and the sobs in her throat go away. Hanna wasn't totally comfortable with this, but right now she didn't care. She let all of her feelings fall to the side and allowed herself to have this moment.

All of a sudden the monitors started going off. They were beeping like crazy. Hanna and Mary Margaret jumped up from the chair, both yelling for Dr. Whale.

Hanna's mind was racing. She was in full panic mode. She didn't know what to do. She didn't know what was wrong. She didn't know what was happening or why the monitors were going off. Everything was a blur. She couldn't focus or hear what anyone was saying. She thought Dr. Whale might have told the nurse to get them out the room, but she ignored that. She wasn't going anywhere. She was not going to leave Henry, but before she knew it an arm began pulling her from the room. She looked up to see Mary Margaret trying to coax her out.

"Come on, Hanna," Mary Margaret told her with the same amount of fear in her voice that was etched into the young girls eyes. "We have go. We have to let the doctors…"

"No!" Hanna shouted, pulling away from her. She was staying right here. She had to be there for him. She couldn't just leave him all alone.

"Sweetie we need to get out of here so the doctors can help him," Mary Margaret told her as she gently began pulling her arm again. Hanna continued to pull away and kept trying to get back to Henry. Mary Margaret grabbed the girl by the waist in a final attempt to get her out of the room. She didn't want to have to do this, but she needed to get Hanna out of there so they could help Henry. She began to kick and scream. "No! Stop it!" Hanna shouted swinging her arms all around and kicking her legs. "I can't leave him! Let me go!" Hanna put up a fight, but Mary Margaret was strong enough to finally force her out into the waiting room. She wasn't sure where that strength came from, but she was very thankful for it. Hanna continued to struggle against Mary Margaret's hold, but eventually her shouting stopped and her breathing began to even out. When Mary Margaret decided that Hanna wasn't going to flee back into Henry's room, she released her grip. Hanna just dropped to the floor, placing her head down onto her knees and covering her face.

"Hanna, I'm sorry. I didn't want to have to do that, but…" Mary Margaret started.

"No! Stop!" Hanna shouted as she looked up. "Leave me alone! Just get out of here!" Hanna hid her face again and continued to sob. Wiping tears from her own eyes, Mary Margaret nodded at the girl's request and turned to leave the hospital.

Hanna was still on the floor with tears streaming down her face when Emma and Regina returned. "Hanna," Emma said as she kneeled down in front of her sister. "What happened?"

Hanna looked up into Emma's worry filled eyes. "It's Henry…" she started. "The monitors…they just started going off…I don't know what happened. Did…did you find something to save him? she asked hopefully.

"No." Emma said as she ran into Henry's room. Regina was already in there. Hanna followed and arrived just in time to hear Dr. Whale tell them that it was too late, and they did everything they could. Hanna couldn't breathe. The worst thing she imagined…the thought she wouldn't even let herself think earlier had happened. Henry was gone. She continued to breathe rapidly as she watched Emma say something to Henry and kiss his forehead. A burst of light shined through the room. Henry opened his eyes. He took a big breath in and sat up. Hanna couldn't believe it. True love's kiss, of course! Hanna ran over to the bed and looked up at Emma. "You did it!" she told her.

"You saved me." Henry said with a smile on his face.

"I did do it," Emma said as she looked around the room. "Guys…what's going on?"

Henry and Hanna looked around the room. Everyone was acting different. They had a perplexed look in their eyes as if they had just woken up from a dream.

"I…think you broke the curse," Henry said.

"You did!" Hanna said with a shocked look in her eyes.

"No!" said Regina. She looked around the room. Everyone was staring at her, she knew she had better get out of there. She looked at Henry, "No matter what anyone tells you, I do love you," she said and quickly left.

"What is that?" Emma asked as she gazed at the purple smoke outside that seemed to be coming right at them.

"Something bad," Henry answered her.

After a few moments the smoke cleared, not seeming to leave any lasting effects. They weren't sure what it was, but decided to worry about it later. Dr. Whale gave Henry a quick check, just to make sure he was okay. Henry got dressed and was walking back toward where Emma and Hanna were standing. Hanna ran over to him practically tackling him with her hug. She was so relieved that he was going to be alright. She could hardly contain her excitement. "Henry, we did it! We got Emma to believe! We broke the curse!"

"I told you we would," he told her with a smile on his face. "What do we do now?" he asked the sisters standing next to him.

"I think we should go find our parents," Hanna said with a grin looking up at Emma.

Emma's eyebrows creased with dread. She had thought of this moment her whole life. She had always dreamt of finding her parents. Now that this moment had come, she wasn't sure if she was ready. She didn't know how to be a daughter. She didn't have any idea what it was like to have a mom and dad. However, one look into the eye's of her sister made her put her worries aside. "Let's go," she said as she put her arm around Hanna. The three of them went off in search of Snow White and Prince Charming.
