How is it you? (Henry Mills)

Part 3 Chapter 27

*Annalynn's POV*

A week has past since the funeral and everything has been very calm. Christian, Ian, George and I have been finding ways to occupy our time.

It's dinner time for us now so we all gather in the eating hall.

"So, Charming and I have an announcement to make." Snow starts up the conversation. All of our eyes turn to them with our attention. Good news I am hoping.

"Your leaving my castle!?" Regina gets hopeful, but in a playful way without meaning to be mean. They smile at her, hands together.

"No, we're having another baby." Charming boasts.

All of us gasps with glee. "Oh my god! Consultations!" I jump up. Finally a happy moment I can share with people.

"Well that deserves a toast." Regina stands next to me, cup in hand. "To the Channing's ever growing family, and starting again instead of holding on to the Past." She says. We all drink to it.

"Now, we don't want to tell anyone just yet. We feel like it's too early for people. But in a few month, after we know that I will even make it to full term, well tell the whole kingdom!"

The doors to the hall open, a black night and another man walk in together.

"Your highness," he addresses Regina. "We have a letter sent from future King Nathan, for miss Annalynn's." The messenger steps forward, bows and hands me the letter."

"Thank you." I tell him with a gestured bow back. "How is Nathan?"

"Safe and home with his love, your Ladyship."

"Well, you have a safe journey home back too. Thanks again." He bowd and heads back out with the night.

"What could this be about?" Christian gets up to look over my shoulder.

"Probably a wedding invitation like he said he would send for." I shrug opening it by pulling off the wax seal. It is an invitation. Hard paper coated in dark blue paint with gold writing on it. His kingdoms colors or course.

"His highness,
Nathan Alaric Cirsion of Destinland
Invites you
To Nathan and Julia's wedding as a token of his gratitude for your help.

When: January 12th"

And then there's another paper under the invitation. I take it out to read it aloud to everyone.

"Dear Friends,
I have made it back safely. Julia and I are very happy to send you this invitation in which I know you would have came regardless. My parents have left since returning and have gone to our summer castle where they will spend the rest of their days away from me. Natalie can't wait to see you all again.

I have sent this letter because there is ugent business we must discuss before you even start for Destinland. I am aware your Queen friend has the power to speak with people though a mirror. I have one with me at all times awaiting your call. Please contact me with one as soon as you can after you read his. It's urgent.

Thank you,
Nathan of Destinland"

We all look at each other with confusion after the letters words fades from my lips.

"What could that mean?" Ian asks.

"There's only one way to find out." Regina snaps her fingers and a long mirror appears in front of us.

This will be just like when we talked to Henry and tried to tell him they were going to rescue him.

She casts a spell and the mirror no longer shows ourselves, but a ceiling in a room. We look at her, she nods to us to call out for him.
