"Let me tell you a story,"
spreading my arms out wide I nod my head to everyone to sit, "once upon a time we an evil grandfather named Big Gerry who pushed his lovable prince of a son into politics, granted the prince liked it but he wanted to do it on his own terms. Being beaten down verbally and seeing things that would stay with him the rest of his life, he began to resent his choices. A little while later a princess comes and he falls for her and they do the happiness thing for a while he makes her his fake queen and have a kid. But what the prince didn't know was that his princess was holding on to a deep dark secret," after that last line I look Mellie dead in her eyes and can see the fear and shock overcome her because I knew her secret.
"Jerry what are you talking about?"
"Just wait it gets better the fake queen starts to resent her husband for things he did not do. Over the years they have a princess but all love is lost, if there was any to begin with. Years later the prince feels it's his time to shine and become a king. During the battle of the spot for the ultimate king spot the prince was steadily in a losing battle, the princes second in command calls in a fierce and untouchable queen. Now this queen, not to mixed with the fake one, was small and young but she was feared among many kingdoms. The battle continues for the throne and the new queen is cutting down the other kingdoms but there was still one that held a battle to them. Time comes push to shove and the prince and fake queen move into the white kingdom with their two kids. Now while the battle was happening the fierce queen and now king fell for each other but since she was not the queen that has been with the king all these years she to stay in the shadows. She was hurt by this and didn't feel comfortable anymore so she left leaving the kingdom behind. She built her own kingdom fighting battles, but secretly was still taking care of the kings kids because the fake queen couldn't be bothered with them," Fitz and Olivia a.k.a. -dad and mom to me- walk in on me talking and have no clue I'm telling their story that they thought was hidden well, "now the young prince knew that his father , the king, loved the fierce queen and she loved him, he not only knew this because of the way they looked at each other but he also saw them kissing each other like the other held the very air they breathed. The young prince was mad and surprised because it was different from knowing and seeing, and he even decided to tell the fake queen. That plan was washed away the moment he was walking to fake queens working area and heard her on the phone saying that she hated her kids and they were bargaining chips, they were just like the king having no backbone and that she needed to find out if the young prince belong to the king or the evil grandfather."
"Oh my god Jerry," Olivia gasped
"Please let me finish we can deal with it all once I'm finished because this is getting good and this is the best part in my book, as I was saying the young prince heard the fake queen and it hurt him deep. He felt betrayed by both of his parents and didn't know who he could trust but he did know from hearing the fake queen that he didn't love her anymore and he was fine with that, mother or not she was no more to him. He did feel remorse and sadness for her for what the evil grandfather did but that's where the line stops. The young prince kept to himself and played his part for awhile and as time went on he became closer to the fierce queen. Even though she hurt him she was honest with him and he felt safe and at home with her plus she visited him, gave him food, and accepted him after he told her the biggest secret of his life that no one else knew but that story is for another day," I looked over at Olivia who has a surprised look on her face that I knew her secret and said nothing but I also saw in her eyes that she was smiling because I excepted her and knew everything and she did the same for me, which I am grateful for, "the king had happy and sad days, the real queen didn't show her sadness but it could be seen in her eyes. The fake queen, well she became evil trying to stop them from seeing each other but nothing trumps true love. Fast forward till now the young prince knows all even that fact that the fake queen and second in command are a thing and that ladies and gentlemen is a fairytale for today but it still remains to be seen for the king and fierce queen happily ever after."
Taking a bow I sit down by Karen and everyone is stunned to say the least. No one knew what to say. Mellie is on the verge of tears, Liv is in her head trying to fix this, and dad just can't believe what he heard and that I knew everything. All the smart adults in the room and they all looked so clueless. It was pricless.
"So did you guys like my story, Kare?"
"So your saying that our grandfather raped mom and you could be my cousin, our parents never loved each other, dad and Liv are in love, mom and Uncle Andrew are a thing and you have knew all this from the beginning?"
"Yep, welcome to the wonderful world of politics."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Isn't it beautiful," he jesters to the adults that are still stunned silent.
"Jerry this isn't funny this is a hot mess this is our life."
"True."
Clearing his throat Fitz speaks, "guys first I want to apologize and say that I'm sorry if I hurt you in anyway. Jerry I'm sorry for how you found out and I know you have a secret that you want to share
"Dad this isn't the time and stop trying to switch the subject," I roll my eyes. Sometimes that man gets on my nerves.
"Jerry…"
Feeling fed up I lash out, "NO!"
"I don't know," Fitz breaks the tension with a belly reaching laugh out of nowhere because cats out the bag and there is nothing he can do. The laughing and awkward tension sucks in Liv, then Huck, Quinn and Mellie.
"Great they have all gone completely out of their minds," say Karen.
Joining in the laugh fest, "I didn't do that they were already bat shit crazy."
Composing himself but still with a smile on his face, "I love you son. And you're right this family is royally fucked. I can run a country but I can't handle even see the downward spiral of my family, and don't get me started on my love life."
"Fitz…," Liv starts but before she can finish he walks out the door.
"Liv I got him, can you just finish helping Karen and later we can talk."
