Graham was in the living room when Gemma's bus pulled up. The door to the sunshine yellow vehicle opened and he watched his six-year-old rush from the bus, into the house. Rising from his spot in his chair, the same chair he use to rock his once colicky baby in, he went to meet his daughter. The minute she saw him she grabbed onto her daddy's hand.
"Baby girl what's wrong with you?" Graham asked
"Please don't make me go back there again!" Gemma sobbed
"I wish there was some way to make them stop it, they won't stop Daddy! They call me names!" Graham held Gemma close as she cried.
"Hey, what's going on?" Emma asked as she came through the door. Concern written all over her features
"Gemma, why don't you go color while Mama and I talk?" through tear filled eyes Gemma nodded and went upstairs.
"Graham, what's going on?" Emma asked worried now.
"I'm going down to that school and having a talk with the principal." Graham said firmly before grabbing his keys and leaving the house.
Once in Mr. Alaric's office Graham let loose.
"It has come to my attention that my daughter is being bullied. I did not bring up so they could cut her down. I didn't bring her here so they could shut her out. I live my whole damn life to see that little girl smile. So why are tears pouring down that sweet face?" It was safe to say Graham was livid.
"Mr. Humbert I assure you that the matter will be taken care of." the dark haired man vowed, Graham narrowed his eyes at the man
"See that it does Prince Eric" the principal was taken a back he had stuck with his Storybrooke name, while his wife and daughter had returned to their former names. It was very rare someone addressed him by his former name. And even rarer the son in-law of Prince James, a man that Prince Eric, knew would not hesitate to retaliate against anyone who did his family wrong. Former ally or otherwise.
"O- of coarse Deputy Humbert." Prince Eric stuttered. Graham, seeing his job done left the office and went home to his family. And nobody ever picked on either of the Humbert kids ever again.
Tada! Review (I got the insperation from Taylor Swift's Brought Up That Way. Go listen to it it's a good song ;-))
