OUAT Ch. 21

*SORRY FOR THE LONG WAIT! I had an extremely severe case of writer's block!*

"So do you think mommy dearest finally got the message that we're at Granny's?" I asked Henry while putting a French fry in my mouth. He smirked into his drink.

"If she hasn't then I'm sure she is still thinking were at home." He bit into his burger as I took a sip of my small Pepsi. Me and Henry had come to the conclusion that we were eating at Granny's after we had snacked on everything in the house, that and the fact that Regina's office phone and cell were both busy. Henry had left her a note on the kitchen table and I left her a voicemail on her cellphone just 'cause Regina was always unpredictable when it came to us leaving the house.

"So how's everything kiddies?" Granny asked, leaning over the counter to steal a sip from my Pepsi. I smirked.

"Need you ask?" I said, taking a bit of my chicken finger and biting into it. Granny smirked before setting down the check in front of us.

"So is your momma going to come in and pay or are you guys going to?" She asked while glancing towards the door then back to us. Henry rummaged in his jacket and found $5.23. I grabbed my new canvas backpack and dumped $6.98 onto the counter and slid both mine and henry's towards Granny. She chuckled before taking the money and walking towards the cash register. I heard hushed whispers to my left. Sure enough Granny and Ruby were in a hushed argument with each other again. They started to talk louder to each other as Granny walked behind the counter and Ruby walked behind us.

"I quit!" I choked on my Pepsi that I was drinking. Ruby walked out of the restaurant with the nothing but silence behind her. Henry had started patting my back somewhere in the mix and was still even after I was done coughing. I looked up at Granny as she passed by and walked into the kitchen.

The restaurant was still silent for nearly 10 minutes before the chatter started again. I pushed my plate away.

"Can we go home?" I asked, looking at Henry as he finished off his diet coke. He nodded and set his glass down, I slipped my coat on as we walked out.

"Hey…mom." Henry said slowly. Sure enough, Regina was standing there with a relieved look on her face. However, she turned stone cold s she no doubt remembered why she was looking for us.

"I told you two to stay home." She said, grabbing Henry's hand and my forearm.

"We left you a note AND a voicemail telling where we were, though." I whined as we walked to the car.

"I know Ree, but I still told you guys to stay home until I got done with work." I cringed a bit when she used the new nickname she decided on using for me, after a week of getting used to it, the name still seemed foreign to me.

Friday

"Would you like being a bike messenger?" I heard Henry ask Ruby. "That's about taking things to people in a little basket on a bike." He said.

I turned back to the book in my lap as I snacked on my green apple. I was doing my Storybrooke characters studying while ruby and henry were looking for a job for Ruby. Having gotten through ruby's story, I was a bit shocked that a dormant werewolf was sitting in the same room as us. I skipped over the stories before stopping on mine. Having read the story over and over, I occasionally read it over in my head.

'-born with Hazel eyes and wavy dark brown hair, there was no doubt who her mother was. With her father's heart, and her mother's looks and spirit she was the perfect daughter for the couple. However, it was never meant to be. Her mother looked on into the passing years with sadness as she looked into a spare room that would have been the nursery, the room where she would teach her daughter to walk, to talk, and to dress her in her first gown for the rare parties her parents would have-'

I stopped reading and looked at the picture showing the supposed 'me' in fairytale land. I had the dark wavy brown hair and the hazel eyes and I was dressed in brown pants and a baby blue jacket with my hair down. I shut the book before looking up; Emma was giving me a questioning look while henry was staring at me.

"What?" Emma chuckled.

"Who does Henry think you are in that book?" She asked with a smile. I looked at Henry, his eyes widened before he shook his head 'no'.

"Um, Henry doesn't know yet." Emma shook her head with a smile on her face.

"Uh-huh…Did Henry tell you about my super power?" I slowly nodded as she walked forward towards me. "Then you know that I know when people are lying, and you are lying." She grabbed the book off my lap before running to her office and locking the door. I stood up and looked at her through the glass windows while Henry stood next to me.

"Couldn't have backed me up?" I asked, turning to Henry. Henry just kept looking through the glass as Emma flipped through the book to the last story in the book.

Ever so slowly she looked up at me with wide eyes, I quickly turned around and pulled henry down on the floor to sit next to me. The door to emma's office unlocked, before she stood in front of us with the book in her hands.

Her face was contorted into a sad face.

"You're Regina's daughter?" I looked at her before slowly nodding.

*SO A SHORT UPDATE BUT I WANTED YOU GUYS TO HAVE AN UPDATE!*
