Authors Note: Hello everyone! Now I decided to write my first ever outlaw queen fanfiction so my apologies if it needs work or it isn't how you'd expect etc I'm still working on it! Now to not give you any confusion this starts at the wedding of Mary Margaret and David! This is an AU so nothing that happened in the show exists here! Feel free to give comments because I need the feedback.
"Love isn't a clear road. It has a lot of twists and turns that lead us to many different endings that either are forever or for just that point in time. David and Mary Margaret here have been my mates since I got put on the exchange program years ago, back when most us here were still going to StoryBrooke High." Laughter came from everyone in the reception while Killian Jones stood up raising his glass not being able to string together words due to his intoxicated body. "It's all about timing and I can't be the only one to understand when the words 'timing is a pain in the arse' is spoken. Lucky enough for these two timing was always on their side. From the start, they were destined to be together. Those twists and turns didn't apply to the happy couple who finally tied the knot today. My only wish for you two is that don't forget the British god father for your first born."
"A thief as a god father? What a story to tell to their first-born hood!"
"Beats a red leather jacket wearing god mother Swan!"
Once again laughter erupted when the witty comments from the Irish man and the blonde woman with a lacking sense of style were exchanged.
"To the happy couple, don't forget the rest of the world now that you two are finally married!"
Glasses were raised and the happy couple kissed but the happiness that built up with the crowd over the past hours were tainted with a raven hair teenager falling to the ground in front of the entrance. Robin looked over to see that it was his daughter, Violet sprawled out on the floor of his friend's wedding embarrassing them both.
"Don't help me up lads I'll be fine." Her words barely audible with her face planted facing the ground. After a few minutes the girl stood up smoothing down her lilac dress pretending as if nothing ever happened. By this time the formal part of the reception was finished leaving the dance part to commence. Eyes still staring at Violet's state, whispers being passed around about how careless she is, and most of all a pair of eyes from her father filled with nothing but disappointment.
Emma approached the teenager at first causing the crowd to break free from their daze. All the whispers still filled the room but didn't bother Violet, the teen became immune to the hurtful words doing nothing but lowering her self worth.
"Come sit down kid, I'll get you a glass of water." Emma reached for Violet's hand and walked her towards her table then proceeding to get the water.
While the blonde woman was gone the teenager's, father took this time alone with his daughter to finally let his disappointment looks turn into the hurtful words she was used to hearing.
"Before you say anything, I have heard it all before and I'm sure Mary Margaret's teacher friends already spoke them ever so quietly."
To no avail the father's words still came out. "How can you be so careless Violet? I thought your mum and I raised you better! What kind of act are you trying to pull in front of everyone here today? This isn't how you're supposed to act in front of the public, you were so prim and proper what the hell happened."
From a far Robin Hood's words grew louder and louder causing Emma to run towards the father and daughter hoping that there's still time before the waterworks came out.
"Robin. Stop she's just a kid." Emma set down the glass but Violet didn't pick it up but just stared at it.
"Emma just leave us alone please this isn't your mess to deal with."
"I'm not a mess dad. I'm the product of what you did to our family. This." Violet pointed to herself. "Is what you caused and what mum is trying to fix."
Emma heard Violet's words as swords piercing through enemies. Built up rage and anger was hidden underneath but covered by Violet's neutral tone and facial expression.
"Robin just leave please." Emma closed her eyes as the words left her mouth. She didn't have the right to say those words but she did have the right to protect children, after all that's what her job entails her to do.
"We're leaving in an hour."
"Don't worry your prim and proper daughter will come out by then."
Robin looked at his daughter in shock and Emma just sat there pretending everything was fine, that nothing ever happened.
"You know Emma I didn't want to come to this wedding. But, I figured that David and Mary Margaret did nothing so why do they need to question my loyalty and love towards them."
"But showing up drunk to the reception an hour late?"
Violet sighed heavily taking a sip from her water. "Mum left what else was I supposed to do? Dad came here with full awareness that she was going to leave us. Did he even care? They were married for years and he threw it all away for what? His business and a woman named Regina Mills? Did he even love mum? Did he even love me?"
Emma took all that the teenager said to heart. From a far the family seemed to be nothing but a picture perfect one straight from high school. But no one knew the painful paths the family took, the hurt each of them experienced except for Emma, Killian, David, and Mary Margaret. Replaying the words from the teen's mouth over again her eyes widened when the name Regina Mills was spoken. She hasn't heard that name since university, none of them have.
"Where did you hear that name?"
"Regina Mills?"
"Yea."
"Mum, she said it once when I helped her up the stairs after she had too much to drink. Dad was gone on his late trips with Killian once again. She said that dad never loved her but always loved Regina Mills, that she knew but never believed it because she hoped one day maybe dad would love her like he used to. Some thought huh? Look at us now all broken and I'm left with him."
"Marian said that about your dad and Regina?"
"Yes. Then after that day I asked her about it and she told me to never speak of her name ever again."
"Interesting."
Violet looked at her dad across the room chatting away with old friends he had in university. All smiles looking as if everything was whole within his body, within his soul. The girl wondered how that must feel like, when all that wanders in her mind is the feeling of disappointment.
"Mum left." Violet spoke breaking the silent car ride back to their house.
"I'm aware of that."
"Oh, so you didn't bother to say goodbye?"
"I did Violet this morning before I left."
"Wow nice effort from Robin Hood! You managed to speak to her before going off. Nice one dad maybe you deserve a medal."
"Violet Ann Hood."
"You know dad, I wonder why mum told me to live with you when I would clearly be happier with her. Maybe she can clearly see that you would be gone without one of us. But then I think to myself why she would even care about you still when you don't care about her."
"I love your mother."
"Funny way of showing it." She scoffed hitting a nerve inside her father.
Robin stopped the car having his anger build up within.
"Violet I gave everything to you and your mother. If you think that I never tried then y-"
"Yes, dad I do think that. Maybe mum fell too hard for that British accent of yours she couldn't see clearly."
"I love her."
"Then why didn't you show it. Why didn't you show either of us? You were probably too busy with that Regina Mills to do anything."
"What did you say?"
"Who's Regina Mills dad. I don't want to hear some crap excuse if she's your mistress or someone you happen to pick up on the street then admit it. I've heard mum cry for too long she was too scared to ask you where your heart belonged because it sure as hell didn't belong to her or me."
"You have no idea what you're talking about."
"You know I wish that you're the one who left because at least I would be left with the parent who cared about me and not their work or some bitch on the side."
