Once Upon a Time- Regina's daughter

Rose

I feel afraid in the presence of the Evil Queen, even though I know from my visions that she has changed. She seems so kind, yet I know she has darkness within her.

"Rose," she says. My first impulse is to bow down, just in case, so I do. "Oh get up," she says, and I see the good in her, even though she appears harsh. "Come, I'm going to take you to your parents," she says, and I follow behind her.

It's a while away, and it takes us about half an hour to walk there. But soon enough, my father's shop comes into view.

We walk in on my parents both reading a book at the counter. The tinkle of the bell draws their attention away.

"You did it," Dad whispers, more with shock than happiness.

"Rose," Regina says, "Would you like to introduce yourself?"

"Rose?" Mom asks, looking questioningly at Dad. "Surely this isn't- but how did you- Regina?"

"Belle," Regina says, "This is your daughter, Rose." Mom puts a hand up to her mouth and comes around the counter to hug me. Soon Dad joins. He reaches one hand behind his back to give Regina something I can't identify. But I don't care.
