Wow, ten chapters already? Time has gone by so fast! By the time chapter 20 hits, so many things will have happened.

This chapter pretty much picks up where the last chapter left off- the awkwardness continues with Grace and Henry ;)

The ride back to the house was quite possibly the most awkward thing he had ever been through in his life. Henry drove Grace back home, in a hopeful silent apology for what had just happened concerning his mother. It wasn't like he could let her walk after a blowout like that. So, they drove down the road in complete and utter silence, not sure of what to say- what was there to say?

"She... She bought a pregnancy test, Henry. I love your mom, but she's a lunatic."

Instinctively, Henry laughed softly, quickly giving her a sideways glance and forcing himself to shut up.

"This is not funny! She knows we've had sex!"

"Well she's the evil queen! I know she's a little... Extreme."

"Extreme? Yeah, extreme." Grace muttered, "and she's probably going to tell my dad. I can say goodbye to that new phone."

Henry sighed, eyes mesmerized on the road in front of him. "I just want to know how the hell she found out," he said, "Emma and Killian will know too- do you know how awkward that would be? I'm actually looking forward to leaving back for Toronto."

It wasn't only them he was worried about finding out. Both of his mother's practically knew everyone in the town. Awkward wasn't even the beginning of it.

"I don't know," she replied, obviously flustered, "but if Regina tells the entire town about our sex life we may as well just pack our bags and head over to the Enchanted Forest."

Henry hated to see her that upset- he was too. They were young and careless; how stupid were they to believe that nobody would find the wrappers under his bed?

"I mean why not, the Enchanted Forest is where we're all from, right? It's been so long since the curse, I barely even remember living there. We don't belong here, Henry, we're trapped in a town where nobody can leave. I love your mother, and I love you, but I can't imagine being stuck in a town where everyone knows about my personal life. You're so lucky you can just leave whenever you want."

Though he wasn't looking at her, he could sense the emotion in her voice. Grace had a tough day; the hospital was getting stressful with all the new changes to the system. The stress obviously showed in her face- Henry suddenly felt horrible. They had this conversation before, and it never got any easier to talk about.

"Hey, look, I promised you that my mom and I could work something out. There has to be a way to be able to leave without loosing your memories; the only problem is making sure nobody comes in."

They then pulled up to the curb of her house, the towering mansion she shared with her father. Henry stopped the truck and turned to face her.

"You know what my grandpa says all the time... Everything we do comes at a price."

Grace rolled her eyes and took off her seatbelt. "Half of me doesn't even want to go into the real world. I mean as exciting as it is, it's all pretty intimidating. Besides, nothing can ever change the fact that I'm Grace Hatter, daughter of a lonely hat maker once known as the Mad Hatter. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to go back, to see where we used to live and stuff. It would be interesting."

That comment made Henry smile. The memory of the first time they had met still sparked in his mind- she asked to borrow his markers one day in fourth grade, and, well...

The rest was history. She still had the same rich yellow hair that stayed stick straight no matter what she did to it, the same tiny nose and the same identical blue eyes.
For a moment there, Henry had forgotten that his mother knew about his sex life.

"That's what makes you so interesting," he remarked, sending her a cocky smile, "you're from another realm. I'm just a kid that was put into an orphanage in Phoenix."

That lightened the mood around them. Grace smiled. "We both know you're much more than that. But I better get going Henry, I'll text you later tonight if I'm still alive by then."

She leaned forward and kissed him quickly before unlocking her side of the door and gathering her things.

"Look... I'm sorry you have to go through all of this. When I get to the bottom of what happened, I'll make whoever's responsible pay."

"You sound like your Mom," Grace remarked, "and speaking about your Mom, you better go easy on her. She's had a hard day."

He couldn't imagine how many pregnancy tests she had lying around the house when he arrived home.

After watching his girlfriend walk up to her front door, Henry sat in his truck for a moment. There was only one person he told about him and Grace- and that was because he shared a room with him.

Caroline was beyond confused as to what had happened. She knew something was up; her mother had vanished in an emotional huff, and her father was acting odd. Roland was angry and locked himself in his room... Again.

"What did Roland do?" The girl asked again, "he hasn't been this mad in forever."

Robin was conflicted. Of course he was mad at Henry for keeping a secret like that, but he also knew he was old enough to make his own decisions. He also had to keep in mind that Regina had been his mother since he was five months old- the thief had been introduced to by the boy when he was twelve.

"Caroline, this has something to do with your other brother."

"Well why can't you tell me?" She demanded, "I can keep a secret. Is he going to jail? Boy, that would be awkward-"

"No, it's not that," Robin sighed, "it's something personal. I can't exactly tell you."

She scowled. Being treated like a kid really got to her nerves. "I'll figure it out, you know."

Robin sure hopes she didn't for at least another ten years.

"You're just going to have to trust me," he explained, "but for now, let's focus on you. Do you still have homework to finish? I can help you."

Nodding reluctantly, Caroline decided to drop the case and come back to it later.
The front door opened about twenty minutes later, revealing Henry, who was beyond done with that day. Outside, the sun had completely vanished from the sky, leaving nothing but bitterness in the air and a light snowfall. Both Caroline and Robin had heard the door open, but Henry was already up the stairs by the time they made it to the front entrance.

There was immediately a sour taste in the back of Robin's mouth- he had a feeling that things wouldn't turn out pretty if Henry knew that it was Roland who had told his secret.

Opening the bedroom door, the fifteen year old was suddenly faced with his irate older brother.

"What the hell?" Henry snapped, grabbing the headphones off his head and throwing them to the side. "You told Mom and Dad about Grace and I? Why?"

Roland gulped down his fear and fished for something to say. "I'm- I'm sorry, it just came out. They were yelling at me and-"

"Dammit!" Henry exclaimed, "you ruined everything! I'm only here for a few days, and this is what you do?"

Standing to his feet, Roland clenched his fists. "Look, I said I was sorry!"

Then, in a flash of pure spite, Henry launched his fist in the direction of his brother's face, punching him in the nose and sending him staggering backwards.

Roland quickly found his footing again; something snapped inside of him, he hit him back with surprising force for a fifteen year old. Baseball really did come in handy.

Henry retaliated his force by grabbing his shoulders and smashing him against the wall, causing pictures to come crashing down.

Hearing the noise, Robin resisted the urge to swear as he rushed upstairs, Caroline following him closely. He came into their bedroom to see his two sons furiously knocking the daylights out of one another. His younger son was still pinned against the wall as Henry repeatedly socked him in the stomach- a trail of blood came from his nose as he struggled to get out of the hold his brother had on him.

Robin was quick to tear them apart. "I know Roland told your secret, but that doesn't mean you have to beat him up!" He shouted, "now what to you two have to say for yourselves?"

Roland was still breathing heavily, but he never once took his eyes off of Henry's. When none of them spoke, their father took matters into his own hands.

"You will not punch each other until one of you gets killed- if you want to do that, get out of this house."

The twenty two year old simply shook his head. "Fine. You're not worth it, anyways."

He turned around after he finished, heading towards the door and exiting without another word.

Wide eyed and slightly terrified, Caroline quickly called after him. "Henry don't go!"

The only reply she got was silence. She quickly rushed after him. "Henry!"

That didn't deter him- he vanished through the front door and continued on his way down the dark street. Caroline wanted to rush after him; she wanted to talk to him, to understand what had happened... But her father was quick to catch her before she could get to the door, leaving her in a blur of tears and confusion.

Her brother had never been violent before; the hate in his eyes had been something she had never seen, not even once.

Feel sorry for Caroline yet? Some of you guys have told me you do haha. I have so much planned for Roland and Henry's relationship in the future. Once a brother always a brother, right? Seems the Hood family isn't as happy and perfect as it was expected to be... let's hope that changes down the road!
