ch1 - The Story Book Revelation
If someone had told me that I would be married to Captain Hook who just happened to be my true love, and then fighting for my survival in the final battle. I wouldn't have believed them.
For the past two weeks I have enjoyed the peace and quiet that has fallen over our little town. My thoughts drifted to my son. I was so happy to be in his life, considering the circumstances that lead me to giving him up for adoption.
I also wouldn't have thought that he would be adopted by the woman who happened to be the evil queen and my step grandmother, and in turn his step great grandmother.
Now that he is spending more time at Regina's, I have been able to spend more time with my husband. Don't get me wrong I love Henry, but he's a teenager now and he likes to have his own space. He's happy, and he's safe and that's all that matters.
I also have to point out that Henry has been so thoughtful recently. He's turning into an amazing person. I was stunned when gave me his story book.
It inspired me to read, I picked it up and opened it. I had a story in mind. I found my mom and dads story. I don't know what made me decide to re-read my mom and dads story; I guess deep down I just wanted to be reminded that true love really can conquer all.
I've never really felt the need to read a book before this, but there was something about the story book. I've seen it opened to the pages of my parents story many times before.
I never really paid attention to the illustrations before, I guess the shock of being the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming was still in effect was probably enough reason as to not notice.
I looked over at Killian, he seemed lost in the book he was reading. I dropped the book as if I had been shocked. It fell down in the middle of the bed.
It was so quiet, I didn't realise I spoke out loud. I was taken aback.
"I've seen this somewhere before"
I noticed he didn't hear me, so I nudged him and I spoke again.
"Killian, I think I've seen this before"
I looked over at him again, and I picked the book back up. I placed my hand on his arm and once he made me eye contact I could tell he was slightly confused.
"Well love, of course you have seen this before, we've read it a few times, I don't think there's anything different about it"
I shook my head and I kept my eyes on that page, the illustration depicted my mom in a glass coffin and my dad was bent over looking at her.
"No Killian, I've seen this in a movie; it's a long story but there's a movie about my parents, well actually it's about my mom, dad and Regina"
I heard his book close, I then felt his weight shift in the bed. I turned to look at him.
"I'm sorry love, I'm unsure of what you mean. What is the movie called and why you're parents and Regina are in it?"
He looked down at the page, I could tell he was studying it almost as it was about to come to life. I watched his face as he turned to smile at me. When he smiles at me I melt inside, and I would do anything he asked me to do because of that smile.
I realised that he wanted me to tell him a story. I closed the book and I took a deep breath.
He pulled me down into his arms. I felt slightly more at ease to talk about what was going on in my head. I nuzzled into his embrace and then I spoke again.
"I don't know why I never thought about the cartoon before this. I mean I should have made the connection long before this. The movie is called Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. I don't know why it's taken so long to make the connection"
I froze in his arms, he must have noticed as he asked me to continue.
"The illustration well it is one of the moments in the movie, it takes place after she's poisoned by the apple that was given to her by an evil hag, however what she doesn't know is that the hag is the evil queen in disguise and then eventually the prince wakes her up with true loves kiss"
He took a breath, I could tell he was curious. Being in a relationship with a pirate has its challenges, but it makes it all worthwhile when we share moments like this.
He then tightened his arms around me. I finished my train of thought.
"I mean, it's kinda strange that people in this world only know my parents and Regina as cartoon characters. I've only watched it once, but I have a feeling that you and my parents, and even Regina would enjoy it"
He hummed in agreement, he then kissed my forehead; I had a smile on my face as I got comfortable. I decided that I should explain why I loved movies.
"I used to use movies as an escape, I found when things got tough I could lose myself in a movie. It was an hour or so of getting lost in a good story. I guess the reason I never made the connection between the book and the movie was because life here in Storybrooke is one giant fairytale"
It looks like I'm having a movie night tomorrow with my pirate, my parents and Regina. One of the many things that I love about Killian is that he's so fascinated by modern devices. I don't want to ruin the illusion and tell him that there's no magic involved.
Before I drifted off, I lifted my head and kissed Killian on the cheek. I then settled in his arms, and we both drifted off into a somewhat peaceful sleep.
