Glassheart (Red x Chloe) Book 3

Chapter 1

The twins hurry outside to help their grandpa.
"Blasted bag!" No....it can't be.... "Oh good, chlidren, hold this for me!" He tosses his hook at the twins before Crimson catches it. "Grandpa?" "Did your mother tell you to come help me? I've already told her multiple times, I don't need help. I've have her walk the plank for that." Hook? Hook is there grandfather?! They used to ask their mom all the time who their grandpa was but she would simply tell them that she never knew her father, but now....

"I heard that, dad!" Red shouts from inside. Hook rolls his eyes before grabbing the bags and starts walking inside. "Bloody hell, your mother, i swear. Anyways, how have you been my darlings?" He hugs them both. "Um, good. We missed you and grandma." Crimson mumbles. "Oh, i missed you too, my loves. Now, come. Let's all head inside, shall we?" They all start heading inside the house. "James!" King Charming greets him with a hug. "Charming! How have you been? Haven't seen you around much, eh?" He shrugs. "Been busy." James smiles. "Well, I'm sure Red has a wonderful lunch ready for us all. Pun intended." The two Wonderland natives turn their heads. "I heard that!" Both Red and Bridget shout from the kitchen. Chloe places her hand on Red's shoulder before kissing her cheek. "I meant it with love." Hook kisses Bridget's cheek, as she flinches from his hook. "Mhmm." It was odd for them. Having a grandfather for the first time, from their mom's side at least. Well, technically speaking. They all head inside the house and Bridget and Hook head upstairs. "Which room, darling?" James calls out. "Third door on the left, dad!" Red shouts as she finishes up lunch and washes her hands. "Oh, kids can you set the table, please?" Cree nods and grabs the plates while Crimson grabs the cups.

Soon enough, they all sat around the table, eating and laughing. Mostly the adults reminiscing on their teen years. "I tell you, your poor grandmother. But I'm glad I broke free from Uliana's control and straightened myself out. If I didn't apologize, I don't think we would be here today." James holds Bridget's hand. "It's alright, my love." Bridget smiles. "It's all in the past now." Chad clears his throat. "Anyways, how have you kids been? Anything new?" He asks his nieces and nephews. "I beat mom at sword fighting!" Cruz shouts. "Only cause i let you win!" Red smiles. "Let it go, baby." Chloe holds her hand. "But he-" "Just let it go." Red sighs. "Fine." She mumbles. "But, i am really proud." She smiles at her youngest son. "So, where's Harry?" Red asks. "Your brother is off with Uma somewhere. I swear if the boy does not propose soon, i will personally give Uma the ring myself and ask her for him." Red laughs. "You know, it's odd to think that my old headmaster is soon going to be my sister-in-law. It's crazy." Chloe holds her hand. "But it is fitting though, i mean, they've been friends their whole lives, they've been together for years." Red nods. "That's true, but you could say the same thing about us too." She points out. Chloe shrugs. "I guess you're right. I mean, we grew up together too." "Exactly." After everyone ate, they all decided to unpack and relax. The twins could only hope to do so.

"Something feels off. Something's not right. I'm telling you." Cree paces back and forth. "And I'm telling you if you dig a trench in the middle of my room from pacing, i will kill you. Now sit down, you're giving me a migraine." Crimson groans and rubs her temple. "I mean it! Did you see grandma Bridget and grandpa James?" Cree asks. "I mean, we have a grandpa now, that's cool. It's a little different and might take some getting used to but it's cool." Crimson shrugs. "No, I'm telling you something off. Did you see her flinch when she was near him?" He bites his lip. "Of course she did, his hook nearly poked her in the eye." Crimson grabs her water bottle takes a sip. She frowns when she finds it empty. "Stop drinking from my water, damn it! Get your own!" She throws the bottle away and goes to kitchen to grab a new one. "But we're twins!" Cree smirks as he shouts at her. "That doesn't mean we have to share everything, especially saliva. Now could you please let this go? Mom's are together, Cromwell and Cruz are alive, we're alive. So yeah, we got a new grandpa, you say that as if it's a bad thing."

Crimson raises her eyebrows. "Trust me, please. Something isn't right about this whole thing." Cree sits and looks out the window at his mom's in the backyard, Chloe sitting on Red's lap as Red has her arms wrapped around her waist. Every once in a while, they'll look at each before sharing a quick kiss and continuing with whatever conversation they were having. "So what? You wanna go back?" Crimson comes up behind him and looks out at their family as well. "You do realize the risks." Cree nods. "I know, which is why I'm not gonna do anything until i know for sure." He watches as his grandpa James picks up Bridget, spinning her around as she slaps his arm, begging him to put her down. Which wouldn't seem like anything, just a normal healthy couple having fun, except Cree notices as Crimson walks away to use the bathroom, Bridget rubs her stomach, as if it hurt when he picked her up. Maybe he accidentally picked her up by her ribs? That's weird.
