This is going to be a multi-POV story with relatively short chapters, but I will do my absolute best to upload every day. I am moving soon, so if things get in the way one day I will upload multiple parts another to keep the balance!
A big shout out to another Author that I follow who's currently writing a fic using a style that I liked, and wanted to somewhat copy. LightTheWayAhead. Thank you for the inspiration.

I Pulled my car up to the front of Storybrooke Elementary School, and turned to my son.
"You ready for your first day, Kid?" I asked, trying to hide the slight nervous tone I had.
Henry peered out the passenger side window at all the other kids who had gathered outside. They were talking, and laughing with one another. I had also noticed them, and a pang of empathy struck my heart.
He turned to me, his expression unsure, but calm. "Yeah, but I'm a little scared. What if the other kids don't like me?"
My heart broke, and without thinking I reached out and took his small hand.
"Henry, I promise you will make friends. It might take a day or two, but just be yourself. Everything will be more than okay." As I finished my sentence a young woman walked up to the car and waved. I unrolled Henry's window to greet her.
She was a beautiful woman with dark hair in a well kept pixie cut, and she had the most sincere smile I had ever laid eyes on.
"Hey, you must be Mrs. Swan!" she said excitedly. "I'm Mary Margaret Blanchard, the 4th grade Teacher."
I couldn't help but smile myself. Mary Margaret was by far the warmest personality I had the pleasure of meeting in Storybrooke.
"Yes, Ma'am! Here for our first day at a new school." I sighed, and ruffled Henry's hair much to his displeasure.
"…and that would mean you must be Henry!" Mary Margaret said.
"Yes I am!" Henry smiled.
Ms. Blanchard opened the passenger side door, and made a motioned as if to say 'Please exit the car young Sir!'
"Wonderful, then why don't we head inside, and I can help you get settled, and maybe introduce you to a few of your classmates?"
Henry hopped out of the car, and grabbed his backpack.
"Love you too, Kid" I said chuckling.
Henry quickly shuffled over, and gave me the quickest of hugs before joining his teacher.
"Love you, mom!" He said waving back at me.
I watched them enter the building, then pulled away from the curb, and drove toward town. I had an interview with the Mayor to get to.
Please feel free to comment or critique! new chapter coming tomorrow!
