Once Upon A Lonely Heart

A/N I felt like writing this after watching Enchanted tonight. It's about Nerissa's daughter and choosing who she wants to be, to be evil like her mother or good like her adopted father Nathaniel and his friends but also about being part of a family. I hope people enjoy this.

Prologue

Nathaniel sighed that atumn night as he sat in his apartment in New York. He had everything he'd ever wanted but had nobody to share his life with. He'd had trouble meeting women and crazy fans of his book stalked him .

What he wanted was a family.

In Andalasia he'd been alone until he'd crushed on Nerissa and became her servant but after the getting rid of Giselle to New York plan and the events that trasnspired, he no longer wanted her or to be in a relationship with that kind of woman.

But then his thoughts were broken by a knock on the door. He got off his couch and answered it.

Standing outside his door was a police officer.

"Hello.

What's going on?" he asked him nervously..

The officer then handed him a basket with a baby inside it.

"The letter said to bring it to you." he told Nathaniel handing him the basket.

Nathaniel understood but seeing the baby made him gasp in awe.

The baby had Nerissa's eyes but there was warmth in them. He saw a magical aura around it.

"Don't worry I won't let you be like your mother.

I promise." he thought as the baby girl gurgled happily......

Robert was amazed seeing Nathaniel with the baby a few days later when he visited Giselle while Morgan was at school. He and Giselle were worried hearing that the baby was Nerissa's. They feared she would be like her mother when she grew up but Nathaniel knew there was another way.

"I have a feeling that maybe she won't grow up to be like Nerissa after all. But I don't know." Nathaniel answered them.

"But what if she found out someday?" Giselle asked.

"Well I'll be prepared for when it happens." Nathaniel answered softly......
