The Sisters Grimm: Between The Pages

Chapter 15: Love Is Inevitable

Sabrina and Daphne were waiting for Puck to get out of the doctors care and Sabrina looked to Daphne as tears filled her eyes.

"It doesn't matter that you and Peter couldn't conceive, you still lost your husband. You shouldn't have had to deal with that. I'm sorry." Sabrina apologized and Daphne shook her head.

"I was supposed to die with him." Daphne cried as she started to grieve. "Then stupid Andrum had to come along and sacrifice his life! Did that little shit say anything at least before he did it?!"

"He said that he lived for over 1000 years and did nothing when compared to your short life so it was your turn to survive. He said your life mattered more." Sabrina explained and Daphne looked heartbroken.

"He said that because he couldn't say what he wanted to without dishonoring his family. He was in love with me. We were going to use Andrum to have a kid and then he revealed that the only way he would do that is if he could marry me because if he was going to have a child with me, it was going to be through love and not science." Daphne revealed a big fact and Sabrina looked shocked.

"You were trying to find a surrogate?" Sabrina sighed and Daphne nodded.

"Surprisingly the spell Tinkerbell used to keep Peter young actually ruined any chances of him growing up, and that included, starting a family." Daphne responded and Sabrina didn't know what to say. "I figured since you and Puck NEVER had any issues having a child Andrum would be a great option, and I couldn't ask Mustardseed or Puck because Puck is married to you and both of them are royalty and are not allowed to conceive a child unless it's through marriage. Since Andrum was never eligible for the thrown we tried to use him, but that didn't quite work out the way I had hoped." Daphne said this and Sabrina grabbed her hand.

"I'm sorry you were going through all of this alone." Sabrina apologized and Daphne shook her head.

"I didn't go through any of this alone. I just went through it without you and Mom because you guys were too busy with raising the girls even after they were grown adults. Me and the everafters have done more work in this kingdom than you know. They are all so grateful to be here and they refused to let their Queen die so we devised a plan." Daphne revealed that it was a united front that Sabrina had no idea about.

"I'm sorry Daphne, but you almost seem mad right now." Sabrina pointed out and Daphne rolled her eyes.

"If you had just done your job as her parent she wouldn't have had to go through this alone. The only person who had no one to rely on in the kingdom was Emma. She's never been out in the real world for more than a few hours and now she's somewhere and she could be in serious danger and you don't even care!" Daphne cried and Sabrina looked frustrated.

"None of this would have happened if she had just told us in the first place." Sabrina revealed that she was mad at her daughter.

"BUT SHE COULDN'T!!! She KNEW that you were supposed to die! The second someone gets involved in the things she knows she can NOT tell them. Now we have to pray that Arawn doesn't find her until she IS ready to handle him. Because she's not coming back until this is all over with. She might never come back." Daphne cried and Sabrina realized that the problem had never been Emma. "She begged you to stop asking her questions but you refused to. You put your daughters life at risk, you hurt your relationship with her, and you don't even care." Daphne pointed out the obvious and Sabrina felt terrible as she sat there and it finally sunk in. "She could have told you about parts of it, but she knew you would keep asking questions and she could possibly reveal something that she couldn't tell you." Just then the doctor came out. Sabrina saw him and stood up.
