Hey guys! Welcome back for chapter two. I hope you guys like it so far. I know it may start off a little slow, but bear with me. It will pick up very soon, I promise.

Melena was worried about her eldest granddaughter. Nyssa had been working non-stop trying finding her mother. Granted Melena wanted to find her daughter as well, but not at the expense of her granddaughter. She believed part of Nyssa's obsession in finding Elphaba was because of Dante. It was really hard on Nyssa when Dante left East End a year ago. Melena knew the two still talked, but she could tell it wasn't the same. Nyssa wanted Dante here, safe, away from the Blue Bloods and their war. Melena may have known a lot about Blue Bloods, but she knew that they were not bad, not all of them. That one girl, Bliss, she saved her life two years ago. Melena would always be grateful to that girl. She gave her a second chance to live and since then, Melena had tried her hardest to make up for lost time.

"Tough morning?" Joanna set a cup of tea in front of Melena and sat beside her.

"Unfortunately, yes," she took a sip from her cup as Wendy sat across from her.

"Another nightmare?" she nodded her head, knowing that Joanna meant Nyssa had another nightmare. The nightmares were growing more persistent the longer Dante had been gone. It broke Melena's heart knowing that last night dream was about her time in Hell. She knew it was inevitable, but Melena did not want Nyssa to know what she went through. It haunts her to this day thinking about it and she did not want neither of her granddaughters to share the same pain.

"You know I should stay a few nights with you guys. Just to help. I mean Aria and Derek are coming back from New Orleans in a week, I don't mind staying," Wendy offered. Melena had missed the young witch and warlock since they took a trip to see Aria's mother. Melena didn't see Aria as a friend to Nyssa and Anna, but as her third granddaughter. However, even though she missed the fashion diva, Melena agreed that Aria had to see her mother, she hasn't seen her in a year. It was hard for Aria to leave her best friend, but she needed to do something for herself.

"Wendy you do not have to. I do not want it to be an inconvenience for you and Tommy," truth be told Melena would love it if Wendy would stay with her and Nyssa. Nyssa needed her like Melena did all those years ago back in Asgard when she lost her mother. But Wendy was married now, she didn't want to be a bother to her or Tommy.

"She's my daughter too Melena."

"I know."

"And I think it's a good idea if I stayed over, it would be too cramped if she stayed at my house with me, Tommy, and Maggie."

"But would Tommy mind if you stayed with us?"

"I'm only a phone call away. And beside she is my daughter. My girls will always come before any guy," this world kept amazing Melena more and more every day. At times it was so similar to Asgard or Oz, but so different at the same time. Melena knew if she would had told her ex-husband, Frex, that her daughters were her first priority, he would never approve her decisions and would force her make him her first priority. She was foolish to marry him back in Oz, he never loved her or her eldest daughter, only Nessarose. If only she could go back in time. If only she would had told Frex he was wrong. If only Elphaba knew that she meant the world to Melena.

"MELENA!" the three witches heard Nyssa yelled from the front porch of the Beauchamp house. From the tone of the yell, Melena knew it wasn't a life threating yell, but Nyssa had to tell her something important. So important or personal that she could get up and tell her. Melena got up from her spot in the kitchen and headed towards the front door. Melena would spend her mornings at the Beauchamps if she didn't have work that day at the college. She loved her talks to the Beauchamps, it made it seem like no time has passed since Asgard.

Although it's been more common for Nyssa to be over the house even more since Aria was gone. Even if it was to do her homework on the porch. It had that sense of home and that is definitely what she needed. Especially when Freya was around her. The two had grown close despite their disagreements when they first met. But it wasn't Freya's fault, she was controlled by Dash and Helena. Melena didn't believe Dash fully knew that he was working with Helena at the time, but it was still wrong trying to control Freya to get back her for breaking up their engagement. Freya wasn't trying to hurt Dash, she had always loved Blader, Killian in this life, since her first life back in Asgard. They were made for each other and Melena was glad the two had finally married two years ago. Freya wanted to wait for her nephew, Daniel, to be born first before she and Killian had their honeymoon in the Bahamas. If only she could say the same about Freya's relationship with Fredrick. Melena now understood why Fredrick was upset with Killian, there was something not right about the whole thing, she felt it in her bones. Hopefully Freya and Killian will prove him wrong on their trip. She would miss them.

As for Ingrid, it would be an understatement to say that everyone was proud of her. Between work, her son, having a love life with Matt, and finishing her dissertation, Ingrid was a supermom. Melena was glad that Matt was in Ingrid's and Daniel's life, they needed each other. Matt was the one who got Ingrid to consider finishing her dissertation. But there was something about Matt, something familiar Melena could put her finger on. Maybe there was someone she knew back in Oz that was like him, she wasn't sure. She wanted to forget a lot of her last few years in that world. Everything except her daughters.

As for Fredrick, other than his feud with Killian, he and Melena have gotten closer. Granted they are nowhere close to where they once were in Asgard, but the two have come a long way since she first arrived. After Fredrick learned that Melena never cheated on him with their friend Kevin, Fredrick had mixed emotions. Regret for listening to his grandfather, guilt for not listening to Melena or his family, and heartbroken because he knew he was the indirect reason for his daughter's death. After time and the two created a tombstone in remembrance of their daughter, the two began to heal with each other's help. She could even consider him as a friend, a good friend. One that is still hot headed, but meant well.

As for Joanna and Victor, relationship wise, they were great with the occasion bump or two in the road. But ever since Wendy's ex-husband came back from Asgard, everyone has been on edge. It was touch and go when Aaron first arrive, but he has recovered. So much that he would be released soon from the hospital. Melena couldn't believe that the hospital would let a man go after he had waken from a yearlong coma in less than a week. It was incredible what this world's technology could do. Melena wondered how Aaron got here to East End. Wendy had told her that the portal to Asgard was destroyed over two years ago when Ingrid opened it. Sadly, no one had any memories on how they closed it. Yet that's the problem, how to return home. Other than finding a way to Asgard, no one knew what was waiting for them on the other side. They would have to wait and see what Aaron had to say. Melena hoped it wouldn't be too awkward between him and Wendy, especially now that Wendy was with Tommy.

Melena turned the doorknob, unprepared of what was on the other side of the door.
