Reunion Royalty Take 4

Conner looks at the house that held grandparents he had never known he had. He had to admit that it looked so... normal and plain for a house that had raised his mother and created the kind of woman that gave birth to him and create the insane situation that he found himself in.

Mary was by his side as she says, "It looks like a nice place your..." She catches herself as he gives her a look to see what she would say next. She finishes saying, "mother was raised in." She had almost called him 'your Majesty' but given the recent revelations he didn't want to be called that. He had at least given in to Gary and allowed himself to be called 'King' or 'Sir' even though he made it clear that his main preference would be Conner. Especially while visiting the family he never knew. He didn't want any special treatment from them before he got to know them.

Conner nods a little before he says, "Yeah... I guess so."

Kim says, "You'll be ok. I've met her before and she was pretty nice." She adds in her thoughts, "Though her sisters aren't so nice."

Fortunately the sisters didn't live with the woman so there was little chance to scare Conner that all the women in his mother's side of the family were evil. As Kim hoped to show Conner that he didn't come from evil and she believed that everyone had some good in them.

Gary was on the other side of Conner, feigning interest and thinking about what to do without giving anything away.

Conner says, "I have to admit, I am rather nervous about all this. What if she doesn't accept me?"

Kim says, "Don't worry. Everything will be fine."

Ron says, "Yeah, and don't worry. We're here to back you up. You couldn't ask for better backup."

Conner wishes that he felt as confident as they did but one glance at his new 'sisters' and he felt a surge of strength flow into him. He didn't know if it was for real or just in his imagination but he could have sworn that he felt that they had his back as well without either of them saying a word.

Conner sighs and says, "Well, here goes." He knocks on the door and waits patiently. He does not have long to wait before the door makes a latching sound and then opens to reveal a gray haired woman with a pleasant smile on her face.

She smiles at the group as she says, "Yes? Can I help you?"

The smile and kind voice sends a wave of relief through him as a part of him had been expecting her to act just like his mother with nary a smile or kind word. He had heard from Kim and his... father (which was going to take some time for him to get used to thinking of him as) about how nice she was but he hadn't been able to fully believe it with all the memories he had of his mother.

Before Conner could say anything the woman spots Kim and says with a bright smile in her direction, "Kim! It has been years! How have you been?"

Kim smiles with soft warmth at her as she says, "Hi there Mrs. Rockwaller. It is nice to see you again."

She waves her hand dismissively in the air as she says, "It is Ms. Rockwaller now. My husband passed away years ago. Anyway, why don't you come on in? Bring in everyone and I'll go make some tea."

Everybody walks in the house and before Ms. Rockwaller can walk off to the kitchen, Kim says, "Can you please hold off on that tea for a moment? I'm afraid this is more than a courtesy call."

Ms. Rockwaller says, "Oh Kim since when were we ever that formal. You can call me Celine. Now what are you here for?"

Kim says, "Well... this isn't my place to tell. Why don't you tell her Conner?" She turns towards him to indicate him, causing Celine to turn towards him as she notices him for the first time.

Celine says, "Oh, I didn't see you there. What news do you have Conner? Oh, and I like your name. It is what I would have named a son if I'd ever had one."

Conner thinks, "I wonder if that's where my name came from."

Conner gives Kim a look that reads, "Thanks a lot" before he turns to Celine and says, "I don't know any way to say this delicately so I'll come right out with it." He takes a deep breath as Celine looks at him with those bright eyes of hers and says, "I don't know if you are aware of this but your daughter... Bonnie is dead."

Celine's eyes grow wide in shock and she says with her voice a bit shaken, "A-Are you sure? My little Bon-Bon?"

Conner nods as he says, "Yes... and there is more I'm afraid."

Celine says, "How did she go?"

Conner bites his lower lip until he feels Mary's reassuring grip on his arm and with a thankful nod in her direction he then finds the strength to say, "She was poisoned and it wasn't a quick and painless poison."

Celine's tears begin to flow before she covers her eyes with her hands as she begins to cry loudly.

No one is quite sure what to say or do for her but Kim and Ron both approach her, placing supportive hands on her shoulders.

A few long minutes pass before Celine has the strength to stop crying and says, "W-W-When did it happen? Why?"

Conner says, "Less than a month ago and I want you to know that we caught the woman who poisoned my mother. She is currently residing in a very deep and dark dungeon. She told us that she did it because of what she had done to..."

Celine says, "Wait, back up... your... mother?"

Conner closes his eyes, ready for the attack as he says, "Yes… your daughter, Bonnie is my mother and was the Queen of a small country called Rodigan."

Celine says, "I have... a... grandson?"

Mary says quickly, "Please don't be upset at him!"

Celine looks at Mary with an incredulous look on her face before she approaches Conner and says, "Why would I be upset at him? I just learned I have a beautiful grandson! Oh, come here and let me see you better!"

Conner opens his eyes and looks at her in surprise before he walks in a stunned way right into Celine's arms where she wraps her arms around him and gives him a very big hug! This had been the last thing he had expected to happen.

Mary smiles from the heart, as she is happy to see the beautiful sight of grandmother and her Conner starting a new beginning.

Celine cries as she says, "I have a grandson... Bon-Bon gave me a grandson..." She then suddenly pulls back with a big smile on her face, looking at Conner in the face as she says, "I can't believe I didn't see it before. You have some of her features. Who is the father?"

Even as Gary thinks, "Don't say it..." Cindy and Mindy both divert their eyes to their father to see his reaction. With Cindy looking sadly at her father as he begins to look a bit nervous while Mindy quickly looks over at her mother to see that Kim is also looking at him.

Conner pulls back and it is the hardest thing he's ever had to do since witnessing his mother's funeral. He says, "For nearly all my life I thought it was King Wally of Rodigan."

Celine looks at him with confusion as she says, "What do you mean? Who is your father?"

Conner hesitates and looks over to the Stoppables for help before Gary steps up and says, "It doesn't matter because as a matter of record for Rodigan, that is exactly who his father is."

Celine becomes even more confused as she says, "Who are you? What does that mean?"

Gary says, "I am Gary, and aside from being his Majesty's friend. I work for him and as far as the entire country knows, King Wally the First is the rightful, legit father of King Conner.

Kim starts to say, "The thing is that years ago Bonnie..." She stops when she feels a hand on her shoulder and knows without looking that it is Ron's hand. She can feel the strength in it and the resolve to do it without her help.

Ron says, "Ms. Rockwaller, I know this will be hard to hear but it is the truth. Bonnie drugged me and raped me many years ago so she could have an heir to the throne."

Celine's eyes were as big as saucers as she stumbles backwards in her confusion before she says, "What? N-No! My little precious Bon-Bon would never..."

Conner says, "It is true. I exist because of her actions." He looks at her softly and says with his heart in his words, "I'm sorry grandmother."

Celine falls backwards onto the couch and directs her eyes to the floor and says, "I have failed her as a mother..." She then just sits there in shock, shaking her head and muttering something that was too low to hear.

Conner reaches out to try and console her when her head whips up and she says quickly, "Who knows?" He is caught off guard and says, "Huh? What?"

Celine repeats herself and says, "Who knows?"

Conner says, "Everyone who knows so far is in this room. I know this is a hard thing to accept. I feel like I should renounce my title and let someone else rule."

Celine shakes her head and says, "No, if Bonnie worked this hard to give it to you. Then you should keep it." She looks up at him with sad eyes as she then says, "Besides, you seem to be a very nice young man despite how Bonnie and her sisters turned out."

Conner says incredulously, "I have... Aunts?"

Celine says, "You never knew?"

Conner shakes his head and says, "I just recently learned that Ron is my father and of your existence. I don't remember my mother ever speaking of her sisters or anyone else from her side of family. To be honest I always assumed that it was just us in the world."

Celine sadly says, "She never mentioned any of us? Not once?"

Gary says, "Why should she? She was the Queen and she had a lot of duties and obligations to deal with."

Celine turns her head to look at Gary and says, "Not once? In all the years that she's been gone for?"

Conner says, "I'm sorry to say no. How long has she been gone for?"

Celine says, "She's been gone for...mmm... 20 years or so I think."

Conner says, "And she never once contacted you?"

Celine sadly shakes her head and says, "No... To be honest we hadn't parted on the best of terms. We had a big fight and then she disappeared and now..." She reaches out, taking Conner by the hands and says, "When Bonnie left, she told us that she hoped to never hear from any of us again in her lifetime. I had been so very hurt and her father even more so. He tried to move on after a failed attempt at trying to locate her like I did but... he never could."

Conner says, "He must have loved her very much." He misses the look of sorrow in his grandmother's eyes as she thinks about the real reason her husband sought out Bonnie, which wasn't as noble as she was making it sound.

Celine could see the pain and sadness in Conner's eyes as she says, "I know that he would have been happy to see how you've grown Conner. To know that he had a grandson would have made him very happy."

Conner says, "Why... why did my mother estrange herself from everyone she ever knew? From everyone who cared about her?"

Celine sighs softly as she lets go of his hands and says, "I don't know... She was a girl who always wanted to be number one. She never felt that she belonged with us and I guess she felt like that she had to separate from us in order to seek out her true place."

Celine turns to Kim and says, "I know this much, ever since she was a little girl she'd liked Ron and didn't like you because you kept her from having him."

Kim and Ron gasp in surprise before Kim says, "She's liked him for that long?"

Celine nods as she says, "I can remember the first day she came home. She was so excited and happy that she declared that Ron would be hers one day." She looks at Ron and says, "I never believed for a second that she would grow up and do to you what she did."

Gary sarcastically says, "Oh please, you expect us to believe that the Queen has been after him since day one?"

Celine nods as she says, "Yes, because he was nice to her as and I think he later became her first crush."

Kim's eyes were wide as she thinks back to the very early days of when Ron had met Bonnie and remembers the young, adoring look upon Bonnie's face after that first meeting. She also remembers that Bonnie hadn't started to act mean towards him, and then her until...

Ron says, "Kim? Are you ok?" breaking Kim out of her thoughts.

Kim nods as she says, "Yes, this is all just a bit of shock. That's all honey."

Gary just roles his eyes before he thinks, "This isn't good." He quickly comes to realize that all the training and preparing for his role beside Conner to keep him under her control was quickly spiraling out of his hands.

Cindy and Mindy didn't know quite what to do for either their parents or their new brother. All they could do was stand around and listen as apparent skeletons in closets came to the light.

Mary continues to be by his side as she hears everything, watching Conner closely to see what he might be thinking and feeling about everything. She didn't care if he was King, but she truly believed that he would be a wonderful King in her heart and if there was any way she help him come to believe in himself the way she did in him. She knew that she would try her hardest to help him.

AN: Well everyone, I know that this chapter was what everyone was against happening but I like to think that it came out pretty well. What do you think? Bonnie and Lonnie are both adults of course so they most likely have their own families and kids. Is anyone interested in seeing Bonnie's sisters or shall I go with the rest of the Possible family at this point? Or perhaps bring in the Lipsky family? (aka Shego, Drakken, and their children?) What do you think of Bonnie's mother in this chapter? Was she in character? What did you think of Kim and Ron as they try to help Conner and the way Kim tried to support her Ron? What did you think of the twins? Is Gary evil or just a stubborn ass? What did you think of the revelation that Bonnie's liked Ron for as long as she has? Did you like Mary and the support she showed Conner?

As usual all reviews, thoughts, ideas, suggestions for improvement, and more are always welcome.
