Family forest

This is just a oneshot I've wanted to write for ages. Don't worry, it's a one off, I'm still taking requests! This is basically Henry talking his class through his family tree- well, it's more like a family forest in his case- hope you enjoy! Although, could be a little confusing…

"And next to share their family tree with us is… Henry." The teacher called out to the class. Henry grimaced as he got up from his desk. This was bound to get confusing.

"I don't actually have a proper family tree diagram to show you." He told the class, as he plugged his USB pen into the computer. "You'll see why once I'm done. Instead, I have a series of pictures of me with each person I'm talking about. If I don't have a picture I've used one from my book." He told them as the first picture came up on the Smartboard. It was an old picture of Henry being held by Regina.

"I thought we'd start with my adoptive family. I was born in Phoenix, Arizona. But I was immediately put up for adoption. I was adopted by my mom, Regina Mills, in Boston before being brought back home to Storybrooke where I've lived for most of my life. I don't have an adoptive father, well yet anyway. My mom now has a boyfriend, Robin Hood, who has a son Roland who could become my stepdad and stepbrother. But Robin's first wife and Roland's mom Marion has been brought back from the past and Robin thought she was dead so he's a bit confused as to who he wants to be with… but that's another story." The screen changed to a picture from the book of Cora. "This is Regina's mom, Cora. Although she was in town briefly I don't have a picture of her because she's kind of evil. She was killed by a combination of my mom Regina by accident, and my birth mom's mom after being manipulated by my dad's dad. Again, another story." Next up came a picture of the wicked witch of the west from the movie. "Sorry, she wasn't in the book and again, too evil for me to get a picture of when she was in town. You know who this is based on. I'm sure you saw her. Zelena, the wicked witch of the west, was my mom's half-sister." Next up came a picture from the book of Regina's dad. "This is Prince Henry, who I was named after. My mom's dad. He died years before I was born. He was killed because my mom needed the heart of the person she loved most to complete the curse that sent everyone here. And since her mom had killed her boyfriend, the stable boy Daniel thanks to my birth mom's mom not keeping a secret her dad was now the person she loved most. Then again, if Daniel was still alive the curse wouldn't have been cast… sorry, off track again. The only other things I know about my adoptive family are Cora's dad was a drunken miller and Henry's dad was a mean king."

Henry took a deep breath as he prepared for the second part of his three part family tree. He had a quick glance at his class to see that they were already a little confused. Things weren't going to get any clearer.

"Next," Henry began. "I'll talk about my dad's family." A picture of Henry and Neal in New York came up on the screen. "This is one of the few pictures of me and my dad that I have. I didn't get to know him for very long because he didn't know I existed till we found him when I was ten. He kind of abandoned my mom but that's a long story. He died bringing his dad back from the dead because we needed him to help stop Zelena. Speaking of my dad's dad, this is him and his wife." A picture of Rumple and Belle was up next. Rumple looked very much like he was being forced into this. "My dad's dad is Rumplestiltskin, or the dark one. I know most of you will have had bad experiences with him, but he's an alright grandpa, honest. Well, once he gets over the whole "you're the kid who'll bring me my doom thing" anyway. And that's his wife Belle. She's real nice. They got together after grandpa forced her to be his servant and they fell in love. So if Belle's my step-grandma that makes her dad Maurice my step great-grandpa." A picture of Maurice came up that looked like he didn't even know it was being taken. A picture of Peter Pan from the book came up. "This is my grandpa's dad, Peter Pan or the pied piper. Again, too evil for a real picture to be taken. He actually abandoned my grandpa to be raised by two old women so he could live forever. We met after my dad's old fiancé Tamara and her secret boyfriend kidnapped me and took me there because he needed my heart. It all turned out ok though. One last person in my dad's family to talk about…" Hook's drawing of Milah came up on the screen. "His mom, Milah. This was drawn by her boyfriend before she died, Captain Hook, aka Killian Jones. We'll come back to him a little later though. Milah was killed by my grandpa for abandoning my dad and him to be with Hook. That's how Killian lost his hand and became known as Hook. They fought for quite a long time, but they're ok now though. Last part now."

Henry looked up to see that not even the teacher seemed to be following him properly. He was quite grateful he just had him mom's family to talk about now. The first picture was Henry and Emma.

"This is me and my birth mom, Emma. She put me up for adoption because she didn't have my dad to help her and didn't want me to go through the foster system like she did. She thought she'd been completely abandoned and unloved, she didn't know she'd been sent through a portal to another world to escape the curse my adoptive mom cast." Next came a picture of an awkward looking Hook. "I told you we'd get back to this guy. Captain Hook, or Killian Jones, is now my mom's boyfriend. Much like my great grandpa, grandpa and dad, he spent a lot of time in Neverland meaning he didn't age so that's how he's ended up with my mom." A picture of Snow and David was next to come up. "These are my mom's parents- Snow White and Prince Charming…or Prince David or Prince James depending on how you look at it. Yes, they're the same age as my mom because as with everyone else in the curse they didn't age until I brought Emma to Storybrooke." A picture from the book of Leopald and Eva was next. "These are my grandma's parents- King Leopald and Queen Eva. They both died years ago too. Eva was first to die. She was poisoned by Cora, so Leopald would look for a new wife to be a mother figure to my grandma. She wanted that so Regina would become queen. Yes, my adoptive mom Regina. So as well as being my adoptive mom she's also technically my step great-grandma. Leopald was killed by Regina so she could be queen and kill Snow White for being the cause of Daniel's death. Again, they've made up now." Next came a drawing of Ruth. "This is my grandpa David's mom Ruth. She was killed by a poisoned arrow. She could have been saved by magical water, but she gave it secretly to my grandma instead so a curse could be lifted that stopped her having children put on her by King George. He kind of had it in for my grandpa David because…" A picture of George and the real Prince James was next. "My grandpa David had a twin brother. In a deal from my Grandpa Rumple his twin James was given to George and his wife because they couldn't have kids. When James died and George needed a replacement to help his kingdom another deal was made and my grandpa David pretended to be him. Which is how he nearly ended up marrying King Midas's daughter Princess Abigail. So George is kind of my step-grandpa and kind of my great uncle depending on how you look at it. Last picture!" The last picture was one of Henry holding baby deal. "This is me and my uncle Neal, my mom's baby brother. The whole curse thing makes it possible for them to be thirty years apart. He was named after my dad because my dad being a hero brought my mom and I home again." Henry switched off the presentation and took out the USB. "So, that's my family tree… kind of… thanks for listening!" Henry let out a sigh of relief as he went back to his desk. The teacher scribbled a note under Henry's name.

"Next year, set a limit on amount of relatives."
