HC: BEING HENRY'S BABYSITTER AND YOUR REAL IDENTITY BEING GOLDILOCKS

- Regina hired you to be Henry's babysitter when he was about a year old.

- You and him always came along quite well, he was very imaginative and smart boy growing up.

- He loved learning everything new and you, for example, taught him to make the perfect porridge.

- One day, when you were fetching him from school, he had a strange, big storybook and he couldn't get his eyes off it when he came to sit in the car.

- And suddenly he said, "Y/N, you're Goldilocks!"

- You laughed at it, thinking he was joking around but it became clear very quickly that he was serious.

- And after a while of him telling you that Regina was the Evil Queen from Snow White and that's why she and Mary Margaret don't get along, because Henry's teacher is Snow White, and Henry's psychiatrist was Jiminy Cricket and the seven brothers living in town were the seven dwarfs - and though you could very well see why Henry thought Leroy was Grumpy, you grew worried as he couldn't stop talking about it.

- He claimed that your aunt, uncle and cousin were the Three Bears of the story.

- That was kind of freaky, you had to admit, because as a kid you were scared of them as they were a very tall and bulky family, but you had never told Henry you had such relatives. You had only told him about your own family.

- After Henry had talked about the Storybrooke fairytale world for a month every day and he and his mom grew distant because of it (without her knowing why), you had to tell Regina about Henry's hallucinations.

- She thanked you for telling, something she rarely did, and seemed distracted and confused - like she knew something about that.

- But working for Regina for 9 years had taught you not to be curious about her thoughts as the Mayor kept a lot to herself.

- One day when you were fetching Henry from school, he didn't come out.

- You called Mary Margaret and asked about him, she immediately sounded worried and told you that Henry had claimed that you'll take him camping over the weekend and had asked if he could leave earlier as he had to pack.

- So next you called Regina (who was very angry at you and angrier at Mary Margaret for not seeing through Henry's lie).

- Next you called to Sheriff Graham and he called around, if Henry had just gone over his friend.

- Skipping classes because of such thing wasn't Henry though, so you didn't think that's the case.

- But on Sunday, after two days of being missing, he came back with a blonde woman, whom he claimed to be his "real" mother.

- Regina told you to go home and invited this woman inside for a drink.

- And after that, strange things started to happen - the day when Emma arrived to the down, the old town clock that hadn't worked in years, started working.

- And things started to escalate after that and that planted a thought in your head. A crazy, irrational thought.

- What if Henry was right?
