-Henry's POV-
Since his mom got home that day, it got him to feel upside down because of the situation where they stuck with an only mom in the house for a year. He just got better after getting a therapy on his own. No one knew that he got in the therapy since the beginning of the situation. He was the only one who knew everything and saw what happened in his sight.
In the beginning, he grew up with two moms and had his knowledge about his new family member to join his family was his baby sister, Remma. At this time, he was five and the family knew him being conceived by his brunette mother, Regina. The brunette boy always smiled when it came to his birthdays, Christmas and events that he enjoyed with his just two moms. He had no father in his life but got lucky that he got two grandpas who taught him how to play sports or knowledge about many things the men discussed in his living room.
His life was being beautiful since he was conceived by Regina and raised by Emma. They were a happy family and he just wandered in his moms' life while they were dating at this time. He begged them to get married and babbled to everyone in the town about his moms. Henry was very proud of himself being a son to two moms in his whole life. He ignored his desire to have a dad when he saw the man who was comforting his son at the park.
In his mind, he knew that he was raised by some father figures in his life and been seeing by his favorite person, Graham Humbert. They always played the father-son together when he was younger. Until the day, Graham died on his fifth birthday and Henry was clueless that he died on that day when his moms got a call from their friend.
He practically grew up in his blonde mother's family frequently because they always loved Emma's family more than Regina's family. But in that time, Regina was having a family drama with her mother because she was in somewhat phase with her girlfriend. Also, Regina's father was silently supporting his daughter because of her happiness with Emma.
At same time, Regina was pregnant with Remma after his fifth birthday and brought their happiness again. Henry persistently asked Emma to marry his brunette mother in front of the family in the living room. Some chuckled and others went in shock. Emma got a nudge from him and decided to ask Regina for a marriage proposal in the front of the family. Finally, they got engaged after announcing that they got their second child on the way.
That's why he always asked his moms to do something excited. He viewed Emma as his savior and he was thankful that she got a tough side because she was a sheriff. Then to Regina, he viewed her as his loyal queen and best friend. They always talked through everything he caused the problems in his life. He didn't get jealously in his life because he loved both of them.
Remma was born that day and he finally got connected with her. He was her protector when the events came in the chaos. Henry always watched over his baby sister at school because they went to same area. No one knew why he always protect her at all times. He made sure that his family are ok at some time.
At his age of seventeen, he grew up protecting his family from some events that caused the problems in his life. Henry got his instincts from his blonde mom because he always went to see her at her work after school. Every time, he asked his sister if she wanted to join for visiting their blonde mom at the station and it happened after that they went to see her. It made Emma happy about seeing her kids stopping by at her work.
Henry knew that his brunette mom got busy being a mayor. Sometimes, he came by himself to check on his mom at the office or meet her secretary if his mom was inside her office. The brunette boy always greeted his mom with a kiss. Regina never got tired of his protection and he always smiled. They always talked through their days and everything.
Until it happened on that day, Henry didn't think that he was planning to visit his brunette mother but instead of going to see his blonde mom after school. He knew that his sister was going with her friends at the club because she was having an organization after school. Henry did check on his sister first before leaving the school.
He finally walked to the station and greeted his grandpa, David on his desk. They always chatted about the football and laughed at some time. When it came closer, the brunette boy spotted his blonde mother in her office and crying. He was confused and knew that something's wrong.
Henry reminisced about his morning routine at his home. He saw his moms kissing on their lips then chatted toward him and his sister about the plans at home when they went home. He analyzed in some thoughts and knew that they had their seventh anniversary few days ago. The ladies just enjoyed their time at the cabin and he didn't want any spare details between them but knew that they were very affectionate to their love.
He was sure that they didn't cause their marriage to separate them or something happened in their lives. But he didn't want to be nosy in their personal lives since he was born in their arms. Henry turned around and informed his grandpa that he would come back soon as he would. David was confused at his information and nodded with a wave of good-bye.
The brunette boy strolled with his greetings on his way to the town hall. In few minutes later, he arrived at the destination and entered with a smile until it faltered away. Joyce was not there at her desk and he knew something's going on in the office and went toward his mom's office until the voices got his attention. Henry sneaked away inside the office and went to hide by the bush so Joyce and Regina didn't see him.
He went in his protection mode and watched his mom talking about her life with Emma and the children. It got him to smile at the memories when it happened that Regina held him in her arms at the moment. Until, he shook his thoughts and heard something that Joyce talked about her life and caught her flirty talk. It turned him off when it came to his mom.
Henry decided to take his protection mode and watched Joyce getting closer to his mom. He felt rage inside him but wanted to jump over the bush and yelled at his mom's secretary. It ended that he didn't do it because he was a coward.
The brown-haired boy decided to take his time to watch over his mom every day after school. He went outside and strolled on his way to home. He was in his thoughts and wondered why Emma cried like that. He decided to ask her when she got home and sighed.
Henry finished his homework after getting home. He heard the door close and knew that it was his sister. Remma sighed and dumped her backpack then went to get something to drink. He looked up at her and informed her that he saw their moms at their work. Remma always got curious about her oldest brother's days with moms since she got busy with getting involved in her after-school programs.
Emma finally got home and dropped her things at the foyer closet. She strolled toward the kitchen and found Henry cooking dinner for them. The brunette boy turned around to see his blonde mom with a smile. The blonde sheriff kissed on his forehead and gave him thanks. Remma was still working on her homework and asked him for help. Henry explained everything in the math while looking at Emma.
The blonde woman looked sad but drifted away in her thoughts. He wondered that he could ask her and decided to ask her right away. After several minutes later, it went silent when Emma looked up at her son. Remma was raising her eyebrow at her brother. Henry grounded himself with feeling any rejection from his mom.
Emma explained about her day at work and visiting her wife at the office. She just got neglected by her wife because Regina went into the focus. Henry comforted her right away after finishing his cooking. Remma put her homework aside and went to help him to scoop some dinner meal in the bowls.
They ate their dinner and Emma decided to go back to bed. Remma was still collecting the dishes and washed them after dinner. Henry decided to stay behind in the living room and wandered in his thoughts. His protection mode was never away when it came to his family. He made sure that he had them in his protection at no matter. His sister came by saying good night and went back to her bedroom to finish her homework before going to sleep.
The brunette boy waited there by sitting on the couch and watched the front door all night. He wondered if his brunette mom came home after work. He always got used to see his mom being a tired mayor and he made sure that she got fed by his cooking and made her to go to bed with Emma after that.
After 3am, Henry was waiting for his mom to come home but she never came. He knew something's going on with his moms and decided to go back to his bedroom to take something that he wanted to make sure that his mom was protecting by him. He finally came downstairs after checking on his family if they were still sleeping.
The brunette boy opened the front door and closed it silently. He ran to the town hall and saw the light flickering on in the office. Henry tilted his head by his curiosity and looked around if he was not following by someone then continued to trek inside the building. Henry noticed that Joyce was not there being at her desk and saw her purse hooking by the wall.
It was something bad with his mom. He tip-toed by coming to his mom's office and opened the door. Henry noticed the papers laying on the floor and desks. He finally looked up at Joyce who was drinking with his mom. The ladies were chatting about their time. Henry turned around to hide himself behind the potted plant and watched them. He realized that Regina was still drunk by drinking her favorite alcohol.
He smelled it and scrunched his nose. It came at 5am, Regina finally knocked herself out on the couch. Joyce smiled and kissed on her lips after tucking her with a blanket. Henry widened his eyes and knew why Emma was crying because of Joyce. His rage got over-tempered. Joyce didn't notice him and just walked outside after closing the door. He heard the lock and went stuck with his mom alone.
Henry listened to Joyce's footsteps in the hallway and she finally got out of the building. Henry jumped over the potted plant then wandered toward his mom. He tried to shake her to wake up but got no response. Henry looked around in the office and saw the prescription bottles in the trash then went in his investigation mode like his blonde mother.
He picked it up and read it with a gasp. It was Joyce's medication. He realized that his brunette mom was drugged by her. But Henry wanted to tell his blonde mom right away but he forgot his phone back in home. The brunette boy turned around to find his mom's purse and searched through it but it was not here.
Until, the noise got his attention, he slowly looked up at Joyce who was grinning at him. He froze when it came in his sight. Joyce walked toward him and grabbed his sweater to lean closer against her. The secretary glanced over at the brunette mayor who was still drugged and drunk on the couch and continued.
"If you tell your mom about it, I will come find you and kill Emma myself in front of you and Remma."
"Why did you do this to my mom?" Henry just got his rage and spat back but the secretary threw him away toward the wall. The photo frames came crashing on the floor. Joyce walked toward him and barked.
"I just drugged her with my medication. She got drunk after that. Do you know why?"
"No. You destroyed my moms."
"No. I didn't ruin their marriage."
"Why did you do this?"
"Because I love her." Joyce sneered. Henry just got in his tears while she was snatching his hair harder. It almost torn his scalp. He winced at a pain and tried to talk back.
"No! You don't love my mom!"
"Yes, I do and I always watch her every day since high school. I made a plan to get her as my wife but on the other side, the blonde buffoon came in her life and stole her from me! Regina were my and mine but it is not stupid Emma!"
"She deserved this one better than you! You asshole." Henry spit back with a sneer. Joyce chuckled and shook her head with a reply.
"Did you know that I actually killed your beloved friend, Graham since you were five? Oh yes, I did because I just got Emma off to work on the murder while I was coming to see her that day."
The brunette boy widened his eyes when he heard his childhood friend and let the tears flowing on his cheeks. Joyce roughly held his hair and threw him onto the wall. Henry groaned at his pain when he was hitting on the wall with his head.
The secretary looked back at the sleeping brunette woman and went back to him. He tried to get up and winced in the pain. Joyce's voice was louder at this time. He looked up at her.
"Regina is mine but not your fucking blonde freak. She is worthless at all. I hope she die in hell. Don't worry, I have a plan to get Regina out of here and be with me. So you couldn't find her at all."
"Emma will find her no matter where she goes. She knows everything."
"Oh well, I guess that you plan to tell your blonde buffoon about me hurting you. I don't think so."
Joyce growled at him and roughly gripped him then threw him away to the glass coffee table across from Regina's spot. Henry felt his rib cracking when he was slamming on the glass. It tore his favorite shirt that Regina gave him for Christmas. He felt his eyebrow bleeding and touched it then saw a red spot on his index finger.
She chuckled and sneered while she was grabbing Henry out of the broken glass on the ground then slammed his head on the wall where it was before. He groaned and chucked his bloody fist toward her face. Joyce almost leaped but went to tighten her legs on the ground and screamed when she saw her lip cracking.
Henry almost grinned when he competed the broken face of the secretary but his rage was fuming out of him. Joyce checked on her lips and saw the blood then sneered. He was trying to stand up for his defense against her. Their eyes were in the staring competition. Regina was still stirring but didn't wake up. His voice rose.
"I promise you that Ma will kill you with her gun. You will be dead in any second. I swear that you will be worth her time to kill. I promise."
"Really? Even though, you don't know my plan when I kidnap your beautiful mother. I will be making sure that Emma couldn't catch us even Regina."
"Why is that? I'm aware that they are in love with each other but it's not you. I am grateful for that. Why did you do this ridiculous thing to make us feel miserable?"
"That's my plan! I always wanted to be with Regina and have her as my wife. It's not your fucking blonde mother. She stole my life and my wife! You and Emma rot in Hell!" Joyce screamed. Henry widened his eyes and heard a crack in her voice. She pocketed her gun out of her hidden compartment inside the file cabinet then aimed at him.
"I just wanted to kill you and Emma. After that happened, I will get Regina away from here and she will not remember it all even you and your dysfunctional family. I will make sure that she will remember me as her wife and she will forget you at all."
"How dare you!" He sneered before attacking her gun out of her hand then gave a jab forward on her left eye. She snapped her neck after getting a jab and fell over on the broken glass. Henry stared at her while hardly breathing. She gently looked up after noticing the gun on the floor between her top chest and Henry's footsteps. Joyce immediately gripped the gun and shot toward him.
Henry felt a bang and a blood toward on his leg where the shot was through. He looked down on the floor and saw the red puddle spreading. He finally fell on his knees and looked at her. Joyce slowly smiled and moved away from him. Henry gulped and felt a wet on his pants but knew that he lost a lot of blood since the bullet was fired. He heard the final saying from her and blanked out.
"You will be not remembering it at all. Good night, Henry." It was a blur for a while. He was drooping his eyes and fell on his body then knocked him out. He didn't remember when he was in the hospital immediately after being shot. His memories were gone after the event when Joyce was trying to make his brunette mother to be her wife and run away from the town.
It was Joyce who was bringing him to the hospital and pretended to be a concerned woman who found him in the street during the nighttime. She cleaned the evidences everywhere inside the mayor's office. She covered Regina sleeping on the couch in her private room where it was opposite from her office. Basically, she was living there for few months. Regina was clueless that she was being watching by her own secretary.
She brought herself to call the police and ambulance to investigate the worthless evidence. Henry was still in his temporary coma and went in the hospital immediately. Joyce watched the event in front of her and saw Emma running toward the nurse's station. She enjoyed her show by seeing the blonde woman being panicked.
She noticed that Emma tried to call her wife on her cell and heard her voice in a rage. Joyce knew that Regina's phone was turning off because they worked through the paperwork all day. It made her feel mischievously even more. The blonde sheriff started to feel anxiety when the doctors came to see her about Henry's condition.
Joyce didn't stay all the way and left for Regina in the town hall. She knew that Emma or someone couldn't find her at all because it was her hidden place that she could live on her own with no money to rent it. Her cleverness is showing off.
After his recovery, his memories didn't come back and he knew something was up. Henry was frowning while he was watching his blonde mom cooking for him. Remma was explaining about her chemistry book toward Emma. He turned around in the kitchen and knew it was someone that he was familiar. It was the photo frame on the wall beside the calendar. It was Regina, his brunette mother.
He finally understood that he felt something was up and decided to take a fresh air. He walked toward the town hall and saw Regina inside her office. But he was blocking by the securities outside and went into a rage. Joyce got a call from her team and hid the secret away from Regina. She went outside after informing her that her friend was calling her for the emergency. Regina fell in love with her statement and dismissed her.
Joyce came up toward him and smiled sweetly. Henry was gripping by the strong men's hands and sneered. The secretary lowered her chest and voiced.
"Finally, it's about time. I will kill your blonde buffoon tonight while you are taking care by my security. Don't worry. We have time to run away from here."
"Don't you dare!" He said while physically hitting on the security guard's legs. It made others laughing at him. Joyce tilted her head and cackled then dismissed him away. Henry tried to turn around but was taken away. He yelled after his brunette mother's name.
Regina didn't hear him from the outside. It was blocking by the noise activation that Joyce installed it for herself. It made her smile and walked away to take care of her secret lover.
Henry was in his rage when he arrived home. Emma and Remma went confused when they saw him walking toward the upstairs. The brunette boy neglected their callings and slammed behind him. It shook them out. They went concerned about him. Emma decided to call Regina immediately and informed her that they should talk about everything. Remma heard all about it but went silent after that conversation.
The brunette man was frowning at the family photo frame and went sobbing. He wished that he could remember the event between him and Joyce that night. It took him a long time to remember until before a year was up.
He was in the therapy after chatting with his blonde mom about his depression being a wanted son of Regina. Emma tried to help him but failed at these attempts. Remma was comforting him every day after the school program. Every time, he winced when Joyce was there at the front of the school.
Others didn't notice his behavior for a year and didn't ask him for once. It came to the birthdays and celebrations events when Regina was absent from it. Joyce forced her to work through their special occasions. Henry felt bad for his blonde mom who was working through her shifts as a sheriff and mom to take care of them. Regina was not there but did appear at few events.
Emma went after her wife and tried to get her out of the room for their talk but Joyce interrupted their time for the work emergency. It made Henry to have more rage after Joyce's stunt. The blonde woman didn't notice the secretary's shrewd moves on Regina.
Few days later before their eighth anniversary, Henry was being careful to watch Joyce and Regina's behaviors and moves after school. He was still burning his flames. When it came to Zelena, she showed up for Regina's eighth anniversary and started to notice that her sister being absent. She was feeling strange when it came to her family.
Zelena walked toward her nephew's room and saw him being withdrawn. She decided to ask him about her sister being absent. He turned around and cried. Emma was on her new job since she decided to resign as a sheriff few days ago. Remma was at her friend's house for a sleepover.
The redheaded woman was feeling bad after seeing her nephew being sad. The brunette boy finally remembered everything in the event when it triggered him while he was entering the office at the town hall. Joyce was not there even his mom too. They were being sent away to the conference in Boston. That's how he found the note on the desk calendar.
Henry was investigating on the office desk and opened the file cabinets then drawers until he found his mom's phone in the small drawer near the fireplace. He turned around and saw the flash in his eyes. It was Joyce who was firing a shot at him and they physically fought at each other.
It caused him to have a panic attack. He was found by a janitor who was planning to clean in the mayor's office. He was brought by the janitor to the hospital. After that event, he was sending himself away to Dr. Hooper for an intake test.
Henry explained everything to Zelena while he was embracing her. The redheaded woman was angry at Joyce and decided to kiss his forehead then sent him to sleep for a nap. He nodded then went to sleep. Emma was not due until late night to get home.
Zelena sent herself away to the town hall after seeing her sister being in the office. It happened when she was there and yelled after Joyce outside the hallway. She finished with her business and went to see Regina for a while. Her observations were analyzing on her sister and found out that she was not same as before. Joyce was drugging Regina while she was there to comfort and flirt with the mayor.
It was making her rage to appear out of the blue. Zelena understood why Henry's story and he was drugged after being shot. The hospital tests were negative because he had no drugs inside him. It was a different and unique drug that it made them knocking them out and didn't remembered everything for a long-term from a day to a year.
She got back to the mansion and found Henry playing a video game in the living room. Zelena decided to explain about her situation with Joyce. The brunette man was shocked that his aunt had a right to slap on the secretary and lunged after her for a hug. She smiled at their affection and decided to investigate on Joyce's background before telling the police.
Henry decided to beg her that he didn't want Emma to panic or angry at Regina for doing nothing. Zelena was glaring at him and wanted to tell Emma herself. He shook his head and begged her to do same for him because it was not their story to tell but it was Henry's story that it should be told by himself.
The redheaded woman was devastated that she wanted to tell Emma by herself and witnessed everything. Henry begged her once again and finally got his wish. He decided to tell Emma about what happened. Zelena put herself in a risky situation and decided to leave it alone.
She finally left the mansion after saying a goodbye to her nephew. They hugged after sealing on their deal. It was that Henry to tell Emma alone. Zelena would be there to support him as his witness. They agreed to have Emma to sit down and discuss what happened that Henry saw everything.
On the same day, Emma arrived home early and smiled at her children. Remma decided to come back home early after telling her mom. Henry was thrilled to have his sister being home. They were excited to make something fun to eat and chatted with each other about their days.
Until it happened, Regina finally got home on that day. It put Henry in a spotlight when he saw her again after a year. Technically, he saw her around in the events few times but never chatted with her for a short time since Joyce took her under her wing.
It went in a doom for him. He didn't know what to do or say something after seeing his brunette mother standing there in the doorway toward the kitchen. It was quiet at this moment.
A/N: I know... I made Henry being a coward seventeen years old man. But! It's still happening in a bit by bit through new chapters. I hope you really like this chapter. Please give me your beautiful review. Thank you again!
