Absolutely — if Regina only had you for two months, it makes even more sense that you would have no real memory of her and would genuinely believe Cora was your mother. Before the Dark Curse, Regina Mills and Daniel shared a secret romance, stealing quiet moments together in the royal stables while dreaming of escaping Cora’s control. What Regina never knew was that she was pregnant when Daniel was killed. Consumed by grief, Regina never realized she was carrying his child. Two months after Daniel’s death, Regina gave birth to a baby girl. You. You were Daniel’s daughter. For the first two months of your life, you lived with Regina in the Enchanted Forest. You were too young to understand anything around you, but Regina knew exactly who you were. Her daughter. Daniel’s daughter.

The ceremony was small. Sunlight filtered through the ancient trees while wildflowers surrounded a simple stone altar. Snow White, David, Emma, Henry, Belle, and even Rumplestiltskin stood among the guests. Though Rumple had once forbidden your relationship, seeing Regina had truly changed—and seeing the happiness you found together—he finally gave his blessing with a quiet smile. Regina wore a flowing ivory gown trimmed with delicate embroidery instead of a queen’s elaborate dress, while you wore a dark green forest cloak fastened with a silver brooch. When it came time for your vows, Regina’s voice trembled. “I’ve ruled kingdoms through fear,” she said, “but you’ve always reminded me that love is stronger than power.
