/Hey guys so a few details before you start reading... Okay Henry is Regina's little brother and Henry Sr. is their dad I will specify the difference, also there is no curse. I will try to give the characters the same attitudes as the show except Regina, Emma, and Henry of course. Enjoy the story xx
It was an average morning in Storybrooke, Maine... Well as average as it could be for Regina. She awoke to the sound of her alarm clock blaring its usual early morning classical music. She sat up slowly and waited a few minutes until she heard the familiar padding of feet on the hardwood flooring outside her door.
"Regina, darling, time to get up" she heard her Mother say softly. Cora Mills was a... difficult woman at best but she was also a caring overly protective Mother. She opened the bedroom door, smiled softly and walked towards her "Good morning darling. Get up its a big day for you and your brother!" She said.
Regina shrugged half heartedly and stood up stretching a bit as she heard her Mother flick on the lights. "Mother, do I have to go?" She asked sadly.
"Regina don't shrug its unlady like" Cora said. ''Yes. Besides... Henry is already downstairs eating breakfast. He's very excited about today. Do be happy for your brother." She said. "Now. Do you need help getting dressed?"
Regina shook her head. "No Mother. I'll manage if you can just pick out something suitable for me to wear." She said. She listened to her Mother shuffling around in her closet. After a few seconds Regina felt clothes being placed in her arms. "Thank you Mother." She said as the older woman walked out of her room.
Regina set about the difficult task of dressing herself. Her Mother entered the room and brushed Regina's hair while humming quietly. She then helped her daughter apply light makeup (concealer to cover the dark circles under her eyes and light lipstick).
Cora lead her down the hall and helped her sit down at the kitchen table across from Henry. Regina could hear her little brother Henry chewing a bit loudly so she chuckled and turned towards where she could hear the noise.
Henry lifted his head and smiled "Hi Gina!" He says loudly his voice slightly distorted. Henry had been deaf since he was 7 and he was now 12. He chose to continue talking so Regina could hear him and he would read her lips when she spoke or their Mother or Father would sign to him.
They made small talk about how excited Henry was until Regina finished her breakfast. Cora went over rules with both her kids "Alright now Henry if anyone picks on you?" She signed.
"Tell Regina" he said.
"And you have your schedule? Make sure you grab your backpack. Get Regina's too." She signed. He nodded to all three comments then ran upstairs to get all his stuff for school. He then walked into his sisters room and grabbed her over the shoulder bag. He handed it to Regina gently to make sure she knew he was there. She smiled and mouthed 'Thank-you' to him before standing up, unfolding her walking stick and walking to the car counting each step.
Cora handed a lunch bag to each child then helped Regina into the car and buckled Henry in "Have a good day my loves" she signed and spoke out loud.
Henry Mills Sr. walked out of the house into the garage. He kissed his wife lovingly then got into the car. He waved to his wife then backed the car out of the garage and drove towards Storybrooke Middle and High school. (Both the middle school and high school shared the same building since its such a small town)
Henry Sr. opened the door for Regina helping her out, then he helped Henry out of the car. He kissed both his children on the head then lead them towards the giant school building. Once they were through the door he felt comfortable to leave.
Regina sighed softly and linked arms with her brother. Another year at Storybrooke High school.
