Feels good to be back!

Sorry for the wait, but I'm kinda busy trying to conquer the world (or at least school) so ya know?

Gil giddily tried to wake up Harry and Uma, but yet what he had not learned was how they were not morning birds, and had not a care for measly worms.

"Gil, get the fudge off me right now or I will feed you to the sharks," Uma snapped, blindly grabbing for Harry's pocketwatch at staring at it blearily. "It's freaking five in the morning! Go back to sleep!"

Harry barely stirred, or was awake and didn't tell anyone, Gil couldn't tell as he regretfully clambered back under the sheets as he pirate cuddled on his side. The other smirked. Blackmail, Harry Hook, son of the infamous Captain Hook, one of the most threatening villains kid on the Isle, is very clingy.

"I swear, love, if you tell anyone..." Harry growled, half-awake and seeking sleep. His hook was on the bedside table but he curved his finger and pressed it to Gil's neck. "I'll hook ya."

Gil turned so he stared back at Harry, nuzzling his head into the other's neck. "No you wouldn't, you love me too much." Soon enough, sleep took him as well, happy and comfortable with his two most favorite people in the world.

What? You though this was gonna be a happy story?

When Uma finally allowed them to wake up, Gil grabbed the scroll, eyes lit up with joy as he unrolled it for his lovers. They sat down in the middle of the floor, interested in what it said. Uma was the only one that could really read out of the three of them, so she repeated each word out loud.

Her face fell with each name she listed, Harry's too as he peered over her shoulder. Gil's face beamed as he heard his captain and first mates's name, waiting impatiently, nearly bouncing as he anticipated his name.

Uma turned the paper over, unrolling it further in near desperation. Tears glazed her eyes as she looked at Gil, who's happy face instantly turned downward. Harry pulled him in a close hug, pressing soft kisses against his neck. "Love... I..." he whispered.

"I'm not invited..." he whispered, once, twice, three times. "I'm not going to Auradon..."

Suddenly, to the others' surprise, his fist slammed down against the wood, pure anger in his eyes. "All because I'm Gaston's son! That's it! Stupid king! I HATE YOU!" Gil felt sobs wrack his body as he finished screaming out his anger and pain. Why did he have to be born like this? Why was he born Gaston's son? Why couldn't he have been born some other villain? He curled up, blocking Uma and Harry's touches, only embraced by the pain and feel of discrimination. Just because he was Gaston's son.

This wasn't fair. It wasn't fair! He was going to be stuck on this stupid Isle forever! Why was he cursed?

He just wanted to be free. For once. Why was it such a crime? What had he done to deserve being Gaston's son? Why... why couldn't LeFou take him? Why couldn't Belle understand he was innocent? Why couldn't Beast think before imprisoning the kids? WHY?!

Gil screamed again. This time, his strength got the better of him and the boards gave way. He felt his fist bleed, but it was a nice distraction to the pain he was already feeling.

"It's alright, love, get it out," Harry murmured in his ear, the cold metal of his hook tracing the blond's jawline. "Just get it all out."

Tears streamed down his face, as he launched onto the pirate. "Please...no...I can't..." he choked. "I can't take much of this anymore!" Gil let Harry hold him, while Uma was busy tearing the scroll to shreds in anger. He needed them, more then ever. He pulled away and kissed Harry, though it was sloppy because of his tears, it held all his emotions. Harry gladly returned it easily, loosing his blond hair and running a hand through it repeatedly.

"You're gonna come with us, Gil. I swear on my uncle's name you will," Uma growled. "That... that king will bring you over, even if I have to drag his butt here and prove that you're worthy to come. Because you deserve it more than us Gil." She wrapped her arms around Gil. "I promise, we're gonna protect you. Don't go anywhere without one of us or the crew. We still haven't gotten to really kill your family."

Gil only nodded, as he looked up, thinking. "I'm... hungry, can we go eat?" Of course, it was typical for him to change the subject when it was about his family and he didn't quite feel like a teary gut-spilling morning (more than it already was) so decided to lighten the mood.

Uma petted Gil's head with a soft smile. "Of course, sunshine."

Ben couldn't believe his ears when his father spoke. The words, they weren't the ones he wanted to here. They rang in his head even after Adam said them.

"Dad! I just wanted to bring some new kids over and..." Ben looked at his father carefully.

The former king chuckled. "Son, you're king, so why ask me? You can make choices yourself!"

He nodded. "I know, but I still like to ask you before I decide. I have a few more on the list, some kids that I've put a lot of research into. So... there's Dizzy, Drizella's daughter. Evie told me they were really close after she attended the public school. There's her cousin, Anthony, and I was also thinking about Anthony's Mom, Anastasia? She wasn't really a villain, remember? She fell in love with the baker..."

That seemed to really hurt Adam, as everything was dawning on him. Anastasia wasn't bad, she was good... and Hades... others... he gulped... the kids... but still, he steeled through and listened to Ben.

"A lot of info I got from the villains records, by the way. Thanks for keeping them and the law villains gotta have a birth certificate." Adam smiled. Villains were only allowed to Auradon during pregnancy, which all of them had too. "Annnyyyway, Harriet, and Harry Hook, yeah, they're two different people. We already have CJ and Freddie so maybe we could suggest... bringing back Zevon?" Ben looked up nervously to his father.

"Again, you're the king, I can't stop you."

"And I want your opinion. Be honest if you have a problem, please." Ben cleared his throat. "Maybe in another trip we could bring the Queen of Heart's son, Ace, Morgana's son Morgan, who by the way has some magic talents so might wanna keep that in touch and..." he flipped through the paper, "Janet Sparrow?" The words sounded wrong to him. He looked again at his notes. Yup. Janet. Maybe she shortened it or something? It just didn't sound right.

"And..." he took a breath, "Uma, Ursula's daughter, and..." he stared at his father's expression, "Gil, son of Gaston."

He watched the former king carefully, noting how his neutral expression turned to a frown at th mention of his nemesis. No. Please accept.

"You mean Gaston Jr. or Gaston III right?"

"No... Gil... his third son..."

Then came the words he never thought he'd hear.

"Son, Gaston only has two children."

BAM! We're back again with the angst and sadness and me just torturing people. Yes I will try to update faster but you can't rush good writing.

P.S. Janet is Jamie's birth name. Not my idea. Don't come to me if there's a problem (run Val run)
