Chapter 21: Death of a Child!

Real World!
     Pheobe walked into Hope's hospital room and saw she was asleep. Hope moved a bit and then her eyes opened. She looked over to find her sister by the door and she smiled. Pheobe walked closer inside and shut the door behind her. "Hi." Phoebe greeted. "Hey." Hope greeted. "How are you feeling?" Phoebe asked. "A lot better." Hope replied as she sat up. "Good." Phoebe stated as she smiled. "How are you?" Hope asked. "Fine, now that you're fine." Phoebe replied and Hope nodded. "Good. How is the salon?" Hope asked. "Good. I kept it in good condition." Phoebe replied. "Good, cause it'll end badly if you let it go down." Hope stated and they both laughed. "You really are feeling better." Phoebe stated and Hope nodded. "I really am." Hope agreed.

Flashback!
      Poppy continued cleaning the salon as Holly walked out. Then a carriage pulled up, making her stop. The driver got out and opened the door, helping Queen Repunzel out and then King Stephen got out too. "Mom? Dad? What are you guys doing here?" Holly asked confused. "To visit our girls." Repunzel replied. "Oh. Well, it is a pleasant surprise." Holly stated with a smile and hugged both of them. Then Poppy walked out and locked the door. She faced her sister and then noticed her parents. "Mom? Dad?" Poppy asked. "I already asked why they're here, they just want to see us." Holly replied and then Poppy hugged them. "As we did want to see you guys, there is another reason for our visit." Stephen stated and the twins looked at their parents confused. There was a moment of silence and Repunzel stepped up. "We found a pregnancy test." Repunzel replied and they gasped. "Are one of you guys pregnant?" Stephen asked. "No, of course not." Holly replied. Poppy had tears in her eyes as she took a deep breathe. "Yeah.... I am." Poppy replied. Her parents gasped and Holly turned to look at her shocked.

Real World!
     Cecelia walked into the room with a smile. "I am discharging you." Cecelia stated and the sister's smiled. "Raina will be coming back to do a couple more tests and then I'll bring the paperwork." Cecelia stated and they nodded. "Okay." Hope agreed.
     "Everything seems good. My sister will be here in a moment." Raina stated. "Thank you." Phoebe stated and Raina nodded. "Of course." Raina stated. Raina walked out as Cecelia walked in. "Here are the papers. I circled where you need to sign. You both need to sign." Cecelia stated as she gave Hope a few paper and Phoebe a few papers. She handed them both a pen and waited patiently as they signed. After they were done, the twins handed them back to her as she accepted them. "Thank you. Your clothes are on the table. You can change and then leave whenever you want." Cecelia explained. "Thanks." Hope stated and Cecelia nodded. "Anytime." Cecelia stated and then she walked out.

Flashback!
      Holly was speechless. "Poppy? Why didn't you tell me?" Holly asked. "Because I was scared. Sparrow and I have only been dating nearly six months." Poppy replied and her parents looked at her confused. "Sparrow Hood? Son of Robin Hood? That's whose the father?" Repunzel asked. "Y-yeah.... I didn't tell you we were dating because I knew you would never approve." Poppy replied as a few tears fell. "Of course we wouldn't approve! This is a Hood we're talking about!" Stephen exclaimed and Poppy shook her head. "He has a few flaws, but he is super sweet and really cares about me." Poppy stated. "I don't think I can condone this relationship." Stephen stated and Poppy shook her head and scuffed in disbelief. "But we'll try and evaluate it." Rapunzel stated. Poppy looked at Holly, who was holding back tears. "Hol, please talk to me." Poppy stated. "You got so mad at me when I didn't tell you that my boyfriend had dumped me.... Now you didn't tell me that you're pregnant?" Holly asked. "I'm sorry, I'm just scared." Poppy replied. Holly shook her head and ran off. Poppy was about to follow her, but Repunzel stopped her. "Let me." Repunzel stated and ran after her daughter as Poppy sighed.
   Poppy knocked on a house deep in the Enchanted Forest. The Wolf family and the Hood family loves living in the woods. Robin Hood answered it and smiled at her. "Poppy. It's good to see you again." Robin stated and Poppy nodded with a smile. "You too." Poppy agreed. He let her in and closed the door behind her. "Sparrow's in his room, you can go ahead and go up there." Robin stated and Poppy nodded. "Thanks." Poppy stated and Robin nodded.
      Poppy knocked on Sparrow's door. "Come in!" Sparrow called. Poppy walked in and closed the door behind her. "Hey." Poppy greeted. "Hey." Sparrow greeted as he looked up at her. He stood up and walked over to her. He pulled her close, arms around her waist, and kissed her passionately. They pulled away, still very close, and smiled. "I needed that." Poppy stated as she blushed and they pulled away even more. He took her hand and sat on the edge of his bed. "Is everything okay?" Sparrow asked as he moved some of her hair behind her ear. "Yeah, just a little family fight." Poppy replied and Sparrow nodded. "Are you sure you're okay?" Sparrow asked worried. "I'm fine, just a little tired." Poppy replied with tears in her eyes. He nodded. He still wasn't convinced, but he didn't want to push her. "Then lets sleep." Sparrow stated and she snilrd. He laid in his bed and she cuddled up next to him, his arms wrapped around her and her head on his chest. He fell asleep instantly, but she still couldn't sleep at all.
      Poppy sighed as she got out of her boyfriends embrace, and stood up with a sigh. Sparrow woke up and looked at his girlfriend. He sat up at the edge of his bed. "Are you okay?" Sparrow asked and Poppy wiped the tears off her eyes. She turned around to face him and he stood up. They locked eyes and she took a deep breathe. "I'm.... Pregnant." Poppy replied and his eyes widened.
