so far i think i like writing in milah's voice the best, because i can make her crazy, but writing this chapter in henry's voice is making me think he will be more fun to write for. let me know which pov is best. i hope you enjoy it
Well that was one awkward dinner, I think as I shut my bedroom door and throw myself on my bed. Why can't anything ever be simple? Life was going so well, except for my current love life, and now everything is going to turn into a giant mess. Milah is back in the game, my dad's ex snuggle friend. Who is also my grandma, so many levels of wrong there. I wish I had never opened up that door. Mom didn't say anything about it at dinner, she was somewhere completely else in her mind, but I knew what was going on. While I was upstairs watching the terrible trio, I heard the recording from Belle. How many times can someone in my family be brought back from the dead?! I feel like we have reached our quota. I mean, sure I was only dead for about a second when my mom brought me back to life with a kiss, and my dad Neal wasn't technically dead, but still this is becoming ridiculous!
I toss over onto my back and stare up at my ceiling. Looking at the big picture, people "dying" in my family actually has been a good thing. If I had never had died, the curse on the town would never had been broken and everyone would still be walking around thinking they were someone else and believing that I was crazy. I chuckle at the thought. I'm not saying I'm not crazy, the dynamics of my family have almost drove me to madness, but it's a fun kind of crazy.
If Neal had never been thought to be dead, than my mom and dad, Killian, might never had gotten together. Those two need each other. When Killian saved me from Neverland, I decided if my mom was to be with anybody, it should be him. He was brave, handsome, fun, and a pirate. And he drove her crazy. They put up some resistance at first, but with my amazing operations, I got those two to fall madly in love. And it's not like my dad Neal is missing out on anything, he married my adoptive mom, which was convenient for me since I already called her mom. Sometimes it's confusing calling two people mom and two people dad, but that's what those people just are to me. Besides, it's worth having two sets of families, because instead of being an only child, I now have three brothers and two sisters. So "coming back from the dead" has been very beneficial to me.
While I contemplate all of this, I hear my mom get on the phone. My old sneaking habits die hard, so I pick up the phone lying under a pile of comics in my room and listen. My grandma is on the other line.
Emma, what's wrong sweety, you sound upset?
It's Killian, my mom sniffles. Oh god it sounds like she's been crying. I hate Milah.
What's happening, you sound like you've been crying?
It's Milah, she's back.
What does that mean? "She's back". Milah is dead. Way to state the obvious Grandma.
That was yesterday, today she is alive. I assume the not so dark one had something to do with it because Belle was the one who called to warn us.
Warn you about what?
That she might come looking for Killian.
And did she?
Yeah she was at the house earlier.
Oh my God. How did Killian handle it?
Not well at first. He had sort of a break down, which I completely understand, I just…I just wish this wasn't happening to us!
I'm so sorry Emma. I know this must be hard. I know that magic always comes with a price, I just hate that you and Killian have to pay it. What happened when she came to the house?
We tried to explain some things to her. She seemed really out of it, I guess being dead for three centuries will do that to you.
How did she take it? You know, the fact that you and Killian are together?
So so. She was upset. What really put her over the edge was the fact that I had a son with her son. She just left after she heard that. Killian went after her to make sure she was ok, but he hasn't come back and that was an hour ago.
That explains why dad wasn't at dinner earlier.
Oh, Emma I'm sure he's just trying to calm her, and get her settled into Granny's for the night. God, I can't believe this is happening. Rumplestiltskin is going to have to answer for this!
What's he going to do? Kill her again, mom?
No, but…he should do something! It's his fault no doubt.
I'm just worried…
About what honey?
What if he really wants her and not me? My mom's voice is a whisper now. I don't want to listen to this anymore. I set the phone down on the receiver as quietly as I can. Somehow I don't see this "back from the dead" experience working out for the common good as the last ones. I have no doubt that Killian loves my mom, and I know he would never abandon her, but I don't trust this Milah (dumb name) character at all. I have heard stories about her and I know she will do anything in her power to break up my parents to get what she wants. Well, what she doesn't know is that I am going to be one step ahead of her, foiling her every move. It's time for a new operation to take place, operation "keep that zombie bitch away from my dad" aka operation zombie. And this time I will have the help of my siblings, nothing kills the plans of romance than five kids under the age of eight led by a teenage boy. Although I believe the first step of my plan should be making everyone aware of the situation. So, I look through my book bag and pull out my cell phone. I scroll through my contacts and come up with the name of the person who will be the second most affected by this occurrence. Neal.
"Dad?"
"Hey, Henry, what's up?"
"Your mom."
