"Thank you, please come again," you say as you watch the customers leave Granny's Diner where you had been working since you came to Storybrooke. You weren't from the enchanted kingdom or anywhere like that you were a normal girl from Brooklyn. Normal minus the fact you were the missing daughter of a mob boss, you didn't like the fact that your father wanted you to take over as the head of your family and continue the 'Family Business' as he called it. When you left Brooklyn you had no idea where you were headed but when you came upon this magical town of Storybrooke.

At first you were surprised that you had ended up where all the fairy tales were but you soon found that you felt more at home here in this little unknown town then you ever did back with your family. "Granny, I'm going to go pick up Henry." You call out as you walk back behind the counter and taking your apron off fold it and place it under the register. "Okay, thank you for taking Ruby's shift today." She says as she goes over her books. You smile as you gently hug her and then turning grab your purse and coat quickly make your way to the school. As you walk to the school you remember when you had first come to Storybrooke.

Flashback

"Please Sherriff don't call my family, I'm hiding from them. If I go home they're gonna make me take my father's job and I can't do that!" 

The tall man sighs as he says, "I'm sorry Ms. _________, but since you are underage I have no choice but to notify them about your whereabouts." 

You throw yourself onto the floor and kneeling in front of him say, "Please I beg you don't make me go home!" Tears fill your eyes as you stare up into Sheriff Graham's. 

"What's going on here?" You hear a woman's voice ask and you turn to see a woman with dark raven hair and chocolate colored eyes. "Who's this?" She asks looking you up and down making you feel self-conscious.

"Sorry Mayor Mills, this is Ms.________, she ran away from home and is refusing to go back. I was just about to call her parents to come get her." 

"No please I beg of you don't make me go back!" You beg as tears fall from your eyes. 

"Have you considered how your parents must feel about you running away?" She asks you and you look down at your feet while you say, "They don't care about me they just want someone to take over my father's job." Mayor Mills raises an eyebrow as she says, "Sheriff could you give us a moment?" He nods and then walks out the door leaving you and her alone.

"Now explain why you don't want to go back to your family and perhaps I can help." You sigh as you explain your father being the leader of the mob and him wanting you to get married and take his spot as Mob boss. "Well it seems you are in a predicament. How about this, I will take you in and raise you as my own giving you a home and a new life in return I want you to help me with my son Henry; being Mayor keeps me busy and I need someone to be there for Henry when I cannot. Do we have a deal?" She asks as she folds her arms over her chest. 

"Why are you helping me?" You ask as you try to stop crying. 

"Because, I know how you feel and I only wish someone would have done this for me. Now do we have a deal or not?" 

You smile as you stand and say, "Deal, thank you so much. I could never repay you." Regina smirks as she says, "Wait here I'll take care of the Sheriff." You smile as you wait patiently for her to come back.

"Now when we get to home I will introduce you to Henry then take you to your room." Regina says as we drive to her house. 

"Thank you again Ms. Mills," You say as you fumble with the zipper on your coat.
