Chapter 12: Henry's POV
At the noon, their flight landed at Pensacola International Airport in Florida and Emma smiled at herself when she saw Regina chatting with their son, Henry. They finally reached their destination to get in the car with Melissa and the blonde woman knew that her personal assistant was planning to pick up someone that she knew in her one year of being a famous singer. She looked away at her family and whispered in a silent tone so Regina and Henry won't hear them at all.
"Will you pick up Remma today?"
"Yes, I'm planning to. So, did your family know that you have a daughter?" Melissa scoffed and nodded with a reply.
"No. I didn't tell them. Not yet."
"You better hurry up, or I keep your daughter to coop inside with my husband." The personal assistant teased her. Emma laughed and spoke lightly.
"Hilarious. Let's go."
"Ok," Melissa grumbled and walked to receive the rental car keys from the valet. The blonde woman smiled at herself when she walked with Regina and Henry to the arrivals station and saw the fans screaming at her. The Mills jumped in a scaredy-cat and looked away at the fans. They didn't get used to the screams and chants then looked away at the blonde woman. Emma was smiling at them and waving happily. They wondered how Emma handled the fans' screams and chants and looked away at the crowd.
Emma walked upon her fans, smiled at them and signed the autographs while the fans took a snapshot of them in between the boundaries on the gates. The blonde woman laughed at the fan who was fangirling over her and spoke to them for a while. Melissa looked away at Regina and spoke lightly.
"Are you getting used to them?"
"No. I feel awkward."
"Get used to Emma's fame." The personal assistant rolled her eyes and walked away to the SUV for loading their bags with the valet's help. Regina stared at the blonde woman's figure and heard her son's voice then took a glance on him.
"Is this always like in daily?"
"I don't know. You ask her." Regina sent a raising eyebrow and continued.
"Yeah, I am planning to. Ma looked so happy when she does the autographs and chat with her fans." Henry shrugged and spoke lightly. The brunette woman looked away at her and replied back.
"Well, her music career has succeeded. We can't force her to abandon it."
"Like she did with her Sheriff position?" The brunette boy asked.
"Um… I don't know exactly, but I know what you said."
"Let's go." Henry ended his discussion and tugged his brunette mother to the car. Melissa yelled at the blonde woman in the safe distance, and Emma looked away at her then nodded and waved happily. The blonde singer ran back to the SUV and got in it. The personal assistant drove them away from the airport and went on their way to Seachase hotel in Orange Beach, Alabama.
It left Regina wondering about the blonde woman's happiness with her music career and looked away at the window in the backseat with her son. Henry was focusing on his game. Emma checked on her phone and went to ramble her thumbs to text it. For him, he felt that he was dragging somewhere to find his happiness with his mothers in the same place. Henry kept wondering about Emma's career if she went to be a singer in Storybrooke instead of a sheriff. He looked away from his game and asked his mother in a swift motion.
"Are you happy?"
Emma stopped rambling her thumbs on the phone and slowly turned to look at him. Regina did the same thing to look at her son and furrowed her brows. The blonde woman turned her left side little and spoke lightly.
"What do you mean?"
"Are you happy with your career among the fans and everything else?" He quipped and tilted his head. Regina knew what Henry was doing and tried to stop him from asking the questions but Emma was cutting her off with a reply.
"Look at me, I've been doing this one successfully. Yes, I'm happy with my career besides the fans and everything else."
"What about becoming a sheriff in Storybrooke?" The brunette woman spat back with a harsh tone. Henry widened his eyes and looked away at his brunette mother then shook his head violently. Melissa went to focus on the road and pretended not to hear anything from the ladies. Regina realized that she made a mistake to spit the harsh tone at the blonde woman and widened her eyes. Emma clenched her jaw and sneered back at her.
"I didn't choose it at all. Graham offered me about that one but unfortunately, he died way back before I was summoned to be."
"But."
"No buts, mom." Henry continued with a glare at his brunette mother. Emma turned her body back and went to focus on the phone to ramble her thumbs right away. Regina gulped and looked down on her hands. The brunette boy shook his head and decided to stop his questioning on his blonde mother then found himself at their hotel and got out of the car. Melissa sent him an apologetic smile, and Henry smiled then followed her on their way to the check-in counter inside the building. Emma walked in a gentle manners and looked away at the hotel guests who were whispering about her.
The brunette woman followed them behind and took a look at the hotel then went to take her liking on the resort and looked away at the personal assistant who was taking the conversation with the hotel receptionist. They finally dragged to their new hotel suite, three bedrooms Penthouse. Henry got his solo room. Regina and Emma are paired up. Melissa knew that Remma need her bedroom too so she avoided occupying her temporary room.
Henry got a lot of information from his blonde woman about staying there for a week and a half. They chatted about watersports in the ocean. Emma informed him that she bought the rentals of the jet ski. He went excitedly. Regina smiled at herself and found out that her son was enjoying the conversation with the blonde woman then found herself alone in the lounge and looked for Melissa. Emma caught her by a glance and spoke lightly.
"Melissa is doing her errands."
"Ok."
Henry forced himself to ask his blonde mother about the activities during their stay. Emma looked away and went to converse with him again about the zip line in Gulf State Park. The brunette boy lit up at the zip line, and he knew that he always wanted to try it, but his brunette mother refused to let him do it in that position. Regina sighed and glared at the blonde woman. Henry snickered and decided to change his swim shorts then waited in the lounge.
The ladies went to their bedroom and turned their swimsuit in the private. Regina informed Emma that they were leaving their hotel suite. The blonde woman opened the door and nodded then closed it again. The brunette woman gathered her stuff for the beach and walked out from the bedroom to find her son sitting on the couch. She gestured him to get off on the sofa and walked with her to the elevator from their hotel suite. Henry beat his brunette mother to speak up about their vacation with Emma.
"Mom, are you excited to begin your vacation with us?"
"Yes, of course. I'll never forget these moments with you and Emma." Regina shook her head and continued.
"Good. You better not screw it up like you did last time." The brunette boy scoffed and sent a warning tone at his brunette mother.
"Henry Daniel Mills!" Regina warned.
"What? It's true." Henry shrugged and spoke in a honest tone.
"What have I said to you?" The brunette woman glared at him and explained right away.
"You screwed it up." The brunette boy narrowed his eyes and replied in a flat tone.
"Henry –" Regina tried to speak up.
"Shut up and enjoy your day on the beach. Emma will be coming soon." Henry interrupted his brunette mother's talk and threw his shirt off then gave it away to her and ran to the ocean. Regina stuttered her words and decided to let it go then walked to a perfect spot on the sand. She put their things away and sat down then watched her son playing with the waves.
It left the brunette boy in the water, he forgot to put his sunscreen on his body and decided to run back to his brunette mother's spot then asked her to rub the sunscreen on him. The brunette woman nodded at him. She picked the sunscreen from her tote then went to proceed her work on her son's body until she heard the footsteps behind her and looked away at the blonde woman with her gaping open. Henry shifted his uncomfortable position while standing with his mom and decided to ask Emma.
"Ma, will you teach me how to swim?"
"Haven't you learned from the swimming class when you got younger?" The blonde woman replied. Regina gulped and shook her head then proceeded to rub on the brunette boy's body. Henry shook his head and spoke lightly.
"No, Mom haven't set it up for the swimming class. So, will you?"
"Sure. Let me take my sunscreen." Emma nodded with a reply. Henry smiled and responded back.
"Ok."
Regina finished with her sunscreen on him and smiled at him then looked away at Emma's figure. The blonde woman has a red lace swimsuit into two pieces. It turned her on by studying on her. Henry rolled his eyes and knew that his brunette mom had fantasies about her.
Several minutes later, Emma taught Henry how to use the hands to paddle through the water and wiggle his legs to move him quickly. The blonde woman smiled at him and explained the rules of swimming. He was glad that the blonde woman took her time to teach him to swim in the ocean. They finally finished their lessons and went into the water. Regina was staying behind and watched them at the scene. Emma decided it was time for them to do jet skis.
Henry went excitedly. They went to get their rental of jet skis. The brunette woman went horrified when she saw the monstrous machines. The brunette boy rolled his eyes and went to put his life vests on him then went to ride on the jet ski. Emma smiled at him and went to do the same thing then huddled up on the jet ski. They went wild to battle each other and laughed.
The brunette mother narrowed her eyes closer to the mother-son scene between Emma and Henry. She was putting her issues away and enjoyed her view. For Henry, he seemed to enjoy his time with Emma and hadn't felt like that for the long time since he was eleven years old to bring his Ma to Storybrooke. He smiled when Emma lashed him out with the water and went playfully with her until they got tired of riding around in the ocean, and they decided to go back to the shore.
Regina sighed and looked away at the people who were playing the volleyball court. The brunette boy ran toward her and let his wetness spill on his brunette mother. Emma was not very far behind him and went laughing when she saw Regina opening her mouth. Henry grinned and took a beach towel to dry his body then decided to have lunch. The blonde woman finally arrived in front of the brunette woman and smiled at her. Regina looked up and swallowed a lump in her throat when she saw the water dripping on the blonde woman's shoulders.
Henry rolled his eyes and nibbled very little on the sandwich. Emma walked around and sat down between the brunettes. She reached her sandwich and ate it in a small bite. Regina slowly picked her salad from the basket and went to eat right away. They went silent until he asked some questions. Emma sighed and finished her lunch then heard her son's voice.
"What did you do in last year?"
Emma knew it was time to tell them her secret in a year since they came to visit her in Nashville. No one knew that Emma have a child except Melissa was the first and last person to know that she had a kid. So, the blonde woman smiled at them and checked on her phone then she found out that Melissa is coming to bring her daughter in five minutes. She texted her back with a reply, 'Bring Remma to me, and I'm on the beach with Regina and Henry.' Finally, she spoke lightly.
"Well, I had a lot of fun last year."
"Like what?" Regina asked.
"Beside the music career, I did volunteer to help the victims in Africa and toured in Europe with friends. Also, I adopted one in my family."
"Regal?" Henry hopefully asked.
"Yeah but not that one." Emma shook her head and spoke lightly.
"What did you mean –" Henry took a glance at Melissa and a blonde girl in the swimsuit who walked to them. Emma looked away at them and smiled. The blonde girl lit up and released her hand from Melissa then ran toward her. The blonde woman chuckled and opened her arms to her. Finally, they held each other and smiled. Henry and Regina dropped their jaws open at them. The blonde girl got into a sitting position on Emma's thighs and looked away at them. Melissa smiled at them, and Emma looked at her daughter then started to use her hands.
"Hello, Remma." The blonde woman signed in a beautiful flowy language, American Sign Language. Henry found out that the blonde girl was deaf and widened his eyes when Remma signed back to her.
"Hi, mom." Regina arched her eyebrow at the blonde girl and heard her small voice. Emma smiled and kissed on her daughter's forehead then looked away at the brunettes and spoke lightly while she signed it to her daughter.
"This is my daughter, R-E-M-M-A" The blonde girl looked away at them and gave a shy smile. The blonde woman chuckled and explained right away.
"She is deaf. She was birthed by a surrogate mother, and she went into the foster system for few years. So, I adopted her right away."
"Oh, can she read our lips?" Henry asked. Remma nodded and signed.
"Yes, I can read your lips. I'm seven years old." Others were surprised that the blonde girl understood them very well. The brunette boy took a liking to his new sister and spoke lightly.
"I'm Henry Mills; I'm your mom's biological child."
"Nice to meet you, H-E-N-R-Y." Remma signed. Emma was proud of her and smiled at him then winked. Regina smiled at her son who was putting his effort to make Remma feel welcome then spoke lightly.
"I'm Regina Mills, Henry's adoptive mother and a friend of Emma."
"I'm Remma."
"Nice to meet you, Remma." The brunette woman replied. The blonde girl smiled and signed again.
"You beautiful."
"What did she say?" Regina was confused and asked the blonde woman who was absorbed into the scene with the Mills. Emma laughed and spoke lightly.
"She said you are beautiful."
"Oh thank you." Remma nodded, looked away at her mom and signed.
"Can I play with Henry in the water?"
"Sure. Be careful." Emma signed while she was translating the words for the Mills. Henry smiled when Remma extended her hand to him and tugged them away from the picnic to the ocean for playing with the water. The blonde woman smiled at her children and heard Regina's voice.
"How didn't you tell us?"
"It's hard for me to explain, but she was taken away with Melissa's husband back in Nashville. She had school while I'm on the tour. It's hard to take her away from school, but I decided to have her in John's care for a while. Now, she has her vacation, and she came to have her time with me." The blonde woman sighed and waved her hand at her then explained right away.
"It's nice. But we didn't meet her back in Nashville?" Regina was confused and retorted.
"Well, it's hard to hide her away from you guys." Emma looked away at her and spoke in an amused tone.
"You didn't have to hide her away from us. You should let us meet your daughter." The brunette woman indicated to the blonde girl and spoke in a curious tone.
"I was supposed, but Melissa and I disagreed on few things. Don't worry, we worked it out. So, Remma is currently with me on the tour. So, you and Henry will get to know her while I'm working on the stage." The blonde woman frowned and replied with a sad tone.
"But we didn't know how to use that thing you did back." Regina complained.
"Try googling on American Sign Language. Don't worry, you will pick it very quickly. Ask Remma if you like it. She is good to teach ASL." Emma scoffed and mused.
"How did you pick it up very quickly?" The brunette woman tilted her head and spoke lightly.
"When I adopted her, and I went to take ASL class in the community college for a while. I learned quickly and went to attach with her since." The blonde woman smiled and explained.
"Even your music career?" Regina asked with her curiosity while she was watching Remma playing with the water. Henry laughed.
"Yes, it balanced out well." Emma shrugged and spoke lightly.
"Good." The brunette woman nodded with a retort.
"Any questions."
"No." Regina shook her head and replied back. The blonde woman smiled at her and responded.
"Good."
The ladies went silent. They watched their children playing in the water. Melissa had left few minutes before the women took the conversation about Remma. The blonde woman felt calm toward her day with her children and Regina. She smiled at herself. Henry laughed when Remma splashed the water at him, and they decided to finish their activities then returned to their mothers. They finally took their time to go back to the hotel suite.
Emma scooped Remma up in her arms and walked to her bedroom. Melissa left Remma's luggage in their room. The blonde woman smiled and lifted her daughter down on the ground then let Remma take her bath. Regina went shockingly. Emma looked away at her and spoke lightly.
"She knows how to bath herself. She will be fine."
"What if?"
"No." Remma signed while voicing her tone and turned away to go to the bathroom. Regina widened her eyes at the blonde girl and looked back at Emma, who was arching her eyebrow. The brunette woman shook her head and went to gather her clothes.
Several hours later, they moved quickly to clean themselves and decided to go on their way to The Wharf Amphitheatre. Henry asked Emma if he could stay on the stage with her. The blonde woman nodded and gestured him to be with Nicholas for a night's concert. Remma took a liking on Regina and tugged her to the backstage to watch them in the concert. It was an hour concert.
Henry enjoyed his time with Emma and sang few songs such as 'A Good Life', 'Let The Music Set You Free' and 'I Miss You'. He danced with his blonde mother and laughed with her. Finally, he played an air guitar with Nicholas on these songs. Emma smiled and clapped in rhythms.
It left Regina shockingly when Remma took her to dance together in the backstage. The brunette woman chuckled, and she went to like Remma already. The blonde girl smiled mischievously. Regina narrowed her eyes and couldn't put a finger on the blonde girl and found out that Remma ran to Emma. The brunette woman dropped her jaw open when Remma waved her hand to her. The blonde woman laughed and beckoned Regina to come on the stage. Henry went excitedly when he saw Remma on the stage and went dancing with her for a while.
They went to have fun on the stage. The fans screamed. The concert went over. Henry was enjoying his time to spend his time with his sister, Remma and went to do their activities together until the blonde girl told him that their blonde mother can surf in the ocean. The brunette boy raised his eyebrows and asked but found out that Emma was surfing in the waves then yelled for his brunette mother who was in the kitchen.
Regina made a beeline to the balcony and found the children in it then looked away at the blonde woman in the waves who surfed through. Remma smiled at her and looked away at her mom. Regina and Henry dropped their jaws when they saw Emma surfing through the ocean. For Henry, he was looking forward to spending his time with his moms and Remma on the rest of the month on their adventures.
