The Other Queen: Chapter 1
Danielle Queen nervously played with her bracelet as her car drove into the Queen family driveway. The places hadn't changed. The car screeched to a halt and the driver got out, getting the bags. Danielle sighed and turned to the four and a half year old girl next to her.
"Alright. Now this may be scary, but we are going to be seeing some nice people. They are not scary and are gonna love you."
"Okay." the girl said in her small voice. She crawled over to Danielle and wrapped her arms around her neck as Danielle stepped out of the car. She slowly walked to the front door, taking a deep breather before ringing the bell. A Russian woman answered the door.
"Miss Queen!" she said, her face brightening up. She looked at the girl in Danielle's arms. "We were not expecting you...two."
"Hello to you to Raza."
"How did this happen?" she said, raising an eyebrow.
"It's a long story." Danielle looked at the girl. "How about you go with Raza to the kitchen to get a snack." The girl held on to Danielle tighter. "I promise she's nice. She took care of me." The girl lifted up her head and extended her arms to Raza, who took her happily. Danielle walked in the door as Raza took her into the kitchen.
Danielle looked around the mansion. It hadn't changed inside either. Just the way she left it five years ago. Danielle was brought out of her thoughts by the sound of high heels coming down the stairs. "Danielle?"
She looked up at the stairs. It was her mother, Moira Queen. "Mom!" she said. The two women met with a hug.
"How are you sweetie?"
"Good. Very good."
"Where have you been?"
"All over. I've been busy."
"I'm just so glad you're home."
Suddenly the sound of running interrupted them. The girl ran up to Danielle, showing her the bowl of fruit in her hands. "I'm so sorry Miss Queen." Raza said. "She just got so excited over some fruit."
"It's alright Raza."
Moira looked at her daughter surprised. "Honey, who is this?"
Danielle lifted the girl into her arms. "Mom, this is my daughter. Olivia."
"Your daughter?"
"Yeah. I know I should of told you, but I didn't know how."
"How old is she?"
"Almost five."
"Five? I'm to young to be the grandmother of a five year old." The two women laughed.
"Olivia, this is your grandma."
"Grandma?" Olivia asked. Moira smiled and nodded, holding her hands out to Olivia. Olivia gladly went to her.
"Hi...Olivia?" she looked at Danielle.
"After Oliver." Danielle's head went down as she thought of her older brother who had died five years before.
Danielle left Olivia downstairs with Moira and her apparent new stepfather Walter, so they could get to know her. She walked up the stairs and toward her sister Thea's room. She had her back to Danielle with her head phones in. Danielle walked over to her and unplugged the headphones.
"What the hell!" Thea yelled. She looked up at her, and a surprise expression came over her face.
"Is that any way to greet your big sister?"
"Dani!" Thea jumped up and hugged Dani. "I can't believe your here."
"Me either, but I decided I need to come home." Dani walked Thea over to the bed, sitting her down. "I have to tell you something, and it's pretty big."
"What?"
Dani paused. "I have a daughter."
"What?!"
"Her name is Olivia, she's almost five and she really wants to meet her aunt Thea."
"Wait Olivia? After Oliver." Dani nodded. Thea jumped off the bed and ran down the stairs with Danielle not far behind her. Before Dani could downstairs, Thea already had Olivia in her arms and was spinning her around, laughing. Dani smiled. If only Oliver and her father were here right now.
That night the family sat down together for a family meal. Danielle told them about what she had been up to. About halfway through the meal, Moira got a phone call. When she returned she had a shocked expression on her face. "Mom what is it?" Danielle asked.
"Oliver's alive."
