Highschool Story

Daniel

The drive home from Boston was silent.

When we arrive home I stop Emma before she walks through the door, "Emma, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have left, I should have stayed, I-"

"Shh, Regina it wasn't you who was wrong in what you did, it was me. I was drunk and I shouldn't have tried. I'm sorry, you have nothing to be sorry for. Okay?"

I nod and take Henry's hand as he walks up the steps to the front door. "Mommy. Wove oow."

I smile at him, "I love you too, my little prince."

He runs through the front door shouting, "Grampy."

I turned to Emma, "since when did he start calling David 'Grampy' hmm?"

She shrugs blushing, "when you were away, I kinda maybe referred to my parents as grampa and grandma. I'll stop, I promise I shouldn't have without talking to you first, I'm sorry."

I sigh and lean in kissing her softly, "Emma, I think it's sweet. I mean it gives him a sense of normality. I mean his father is his grandfather for crying out loud." I say as I shudder.

"No Regina, his so called father isn't his grandfather because he isn't your father and the vows he took to protect you when he married your mother were broken so he is nothing to do with our family. Okay?"

"Our family?"

She nods, "Our family."

"I adore you, Emma Swan."

"I adore you too, Regina Mills."

--------------------------------first day back at school-----------------------------

For the first time in a long time I'm actually genuinely happy. I wake up wrapped in Emma's arms. I get up and get ready for school, I get dressed in the bathroom. I pause looking at my arms, they've almost completely healed, I sigh as I pull on my long sleeve shirt and one of Emma's red hoodies and a pair of black skinny jeans. I put a pair of red sneakers.

I reenter the bedroom where Henry is sitting on the floor playing with toys and Emma I'd sleeping, "Henry, stop climbing you'll hurt yourself." I can't help but smile at how cute he is.

I walk over to Emma, "Emma. You need to get up or we'll be late."

She groans but then sits up and kisses me softly. "I'll be dressed in a minute, go eat with the kid and I'll come join you guys in a minute."

I nod and take Henry down to the kitchen.

"Hey Regina, morning Henry. Breakfast?" David greets us.

"Good morning David." "Grampy!" Me and Henry say at the same time.

I chuckle at Henry's positive reaction to David. I can tell he wants to hold him but doesn't want to ask so I hand him to David.

"When your older like, 10 or 11, I'm gonna teach you how to sword fight little man. Then we can protect the Queen Regina, and the princess Emma from all of the bad guys. Would you like that, huh? Yh?"

I shake my head laughing as I sit and pretend to eat the pancakes David made.

Me and Emma are about to leave when somebody knocks on the door. I answer it to be greeted by somebody I didn't think I'd be seeing again anytime soon, "Daniel!" I say as I pull him in for a hug.

"Emma, this is Daniel, my step-brother. Daniel, this is Emma, my girlfriend." Emma stares him down.

Before I could react Emma pinned him against the wall, "I know your game Daniel I've seen you talking to Cora, I've seen you following Regina around. Stay. Away."

"She's been spreading lies about my father! She deserves everything that's coming to her. Watch your back Mills, I'm coming for you." He says before walking away.

Emma turns to me, "you look really calm about all of that."

I shrug, "Daniel has a mental disorder, one minute he'll be hugging me calling me his little sister the next he'll be choking me saying I ruined his life. He'll be back later begging forgiveness, which I'll give him. I love him. He's my brother, Emma."

She sighs, "just be careful okay?"

"Okay. Let's go to school."

Short, I know but i thought that you guys deserved another chapter. Ill update ASAP.
