So here is the next chapter! Yeah! As always please feel free to leave a few reviews.
Regina´s first day of kindergarden.
Today was a very special day in the Mills-Blanchard household. Today was Regina´s first day of kindergarden and the toddler was clearly nervous. She was wearing a white t-shirt that read ´Daddy´s little Princess´ with a purple cardigan and little blue jeans and purple chuck´s to match. Her long dark hair was pulled into two French braids with purple ribbons and a purple bow. Purple clearly was her favourite colour.
Her room was decorated and painted mostly in light purple and most of her wardrobe contained purple items. Even her little school bag was purple with a picture of Rapunzel printed on it.
"Mama, I´s scwared! Can´t yous be their?" she asked for the tenth time that day. Cora had a really important meeting that morning so she couldn´t be there to bring her youngest daughter to the school. She was sad to miss out on this special day however she couldn´t cancel that meeting.
" I have to work, sweety, you know that. And you don´t have to be scared. I´m sure you will make friends easily and your Daddy will be there to bring you to your teacher and pick you up in the afternoon. Here is your lunch box. I made you your favourite sandwiches and some of the homemade apple juice." she explained and hugged the toddler tightly before leaving for work. It was never easy to say goodbye to her girls but the job left her without a choice. The mayor really hated herself whenever she saw Regina´s sad little face. She was sure her daughter would make friends easily but she was really small for her age and could easily be the target of torment. Children could be very cruel.
After everyone was ready they got into the car and Mary helped Regina into her little car seat. They headed to the big school building and Mary and Zelena got in while Leopold and Regina waited for the teacher to call her name. After a while a young ginger haired woman called her name and she quickly took her Daddy´s hands and slowly walked over to the teacher. "Hello, I´m Ms. Smith your teacher." the woman greeted her smiling and Regina waved shyly.
Leopold laughed at that and picked the little girl up to kiss her goodbye. "Okay, little one. Behave and listen to . I´ll pick you up at 3pm." he told her and kissed her head before satting her down and leaving the grounds. For a moment Regina wanted to run after him and come home with him but she reminded herself that she was now a big girl. And big girls didn´t cry for their parents.
Her teacher smiled at her warmly and together with the other kids of her group they headed to the classroom, which was very colourful decorated with a lot of pictures and many small tables for everyone to colour on. She sat next to a blond girl with big blue eyes that was a bit taller than her. In fact everyone was taller than her.
"Hey." the blonde smiled at her and Regina smiled back shyly. " I´m Tina but Mommy call me Tink." she said and Regina giggled at that. Tina really looked a lot like the little fairy. Her ears were quite pointy and she was wearing an all green outfit.
"I´s Regina buts my sissys call me Gina." she replied and they both giggled. At break time they all went out to the playground and Tina and Regina decided to play Princesses and Fairies. Of course the long haired toddler was acting as Rapunzel and her new friend was of course no other than Tinkerbell herself. Regina was really happy to call someone her friend and school didn´t seem as bad as she had thought. They all coloured a picture about their family and than started with learning the ABC. The toddler really had a lot of fun and when her Daddy came to pick her up she was not happy to leave at all. She wanted to stay with Tina but was promised she could play with her friend again the next day.
" So you had fun?" he asked his little daughter who nodded eagerly and held onto his big hand tightly.
" Yes, Daddy. It were awesome! Tink like Disney like me and we´s playing Princesses and Fairies all the time. I wanna plays with her." she explained and Leopold laughed lightly as they waited for Zelena and Mary in front of the school building.
"You can play tomorrow, sweetheart. And what did you learn in school?" he asked amused since she only seemed to care about playing with her friends. Regina rolled her eyes at him but then started to jump up and down in excitement as she spotted her sisters coming out of the building with a lot of other kids.
"Zellie! Mary!" she shouted and ran over to them. Mary smiled brightly and caught her sister in her arms and held her small body close. Mary and Regina always had a strong bond while Zelena mostly kept to herself. She loved sports and wasn´t good in school but she competed often with her swimming team and Cora was really proud of that. Mary loved to read and wrote her own stories. She also liked to play different instruments like the piano or the guitar. Regina loved music too and books. She couldn´t read herself yet but Mary often read to her. She was really talented already. She mastered Beethoven´s 5th Symphony on the piano already and recently she started learning the violin.
Cora didn´t really care about that though. She only seemed to care about Zelena´s success in sports which made Regina sad sometimes.
When her mother came home that day she immediately ran to her to show her her new drawing of their family. It was a really good drawing for a three year old but the mayor was not as impressed as the toddler had hoped. She was exhausted and when she was exhausted she could be really mean.
" Look, Mama! That us." she shrieked in her shrill little voice and Cora flinched but still took the drawing and looked at it.
" Yeah, nice." she mumbled and tossed it onto a table nearby. Regina huffed sadly and ran to her room crying. She didn´t understand why her mother acted like that sometimes. It was always Zelena that got the special attention from their Mama and never her. It was so unfair!
Slowly their little happy family seemed to crumble and not only Regina was suffering.
