Chapter 42
Hi everyone! Thanks for all of the reviews from the last chapter! I'm so glad this story still has readers out there! I've had a few people ask about a romantic interest for Hanna. I've thought about that some and I have an idea about when I would incorporate it. I'm just not sure if I'd be able to write it very well. I'm not the best at the "romantic" stuff lol If I do decide to, it wouldn't be happening just yet. Right now, I'm having a lot of fun playing around in this 6 week period. I love following the storyline of the show, but it's also fun to completely do my own thing! I hope you all like it too! Here's the next chapter. Enjoy! :)
"Hanna, come on sweetie, we need to go," Snow said as she walked into her daughter's bedroom, only to find Hanna still sound asleep. "Hanna!"
"Huh, what?" Hanna said as she sat up and shook her head. She looked at the clock. and quickly scrambled out of bed. "Crap!"
Snow sighed. "We need to leave this house in ten minutes, young lady. You best be ready."
"I will I promise," Hanna said as she pulled an outfit from her closet. She didn't mean to sleep in like this. Her mom came upstairs a half an hour ago to wake her, but Hanna decided she could sleep for just a few more minutes and still have time to get ready. She didn't intend on sleeping this long.
"Hanna, let's go. We're going to be late," Snow called from the bottom of the stairs.
"I'm ready. I'm ready," Hanna said as she came running down the stairs. Granny was already there to watch Neal.
Snow handed Hanna a brown paper bag. "Here's your lunch."
"Thanks," Hanna said as she quickly grabbed it from her and went to retrieve her book bag from the hook next to the front door. Hanna looked down to put on her school shoes, but they weren't there. "Mom, where are my shoes?"
"I don't know, Hanna," Snow said in frustration. "Where did you put them?"
"I always leave them here," Hanna said pointing to the floor in front of her. She looked again, but there was just a pair of Emma's boots and Henry's tennis shoes.
"Hanna, we don't have time for this," Snow said with a groan. She had a very important meeting she needed to get to this morning.
"I'll go look up stairs."
Hanna knew they weren't up there. She always put her school shoes in the exact same spot everyday. She hated wearing them and always kicked them off as soon as she walked in the door. Hanna looked through her closet and under her bed, but no luck. She could hear her mom yelling at her from downstairs. Whatever, I'll just wear my boots. Hanna grabbed her black boots and put them on. Technically, they weren't part of the school dress code, but it was better than coming with no shoes at all. Hanna was pretty sure she wouldn't get into trouble…being a princess and the mayor's kid had it's perks.
"Find them?" Snow asked.
"No, I'm just going to wear these."
"Hanna, you really need to find those shoes."
"I know, Mom," Hanna said, rolling her eyes. "Let's just go."
"You know, according to your father, this is the third time this has happened this week," Snow said once they had gotten into the car.
Hanna just bit her lip and looked down. Her mom was right. Hanna slept in several other days this week too, almost causing her and Henry to be late for school and her dad and Emma to be late for work. Hanna just hated getting up in the mornings. Her mom was already at work those days, so Hanna wasn't sure if she knew. Hanna should have known her dad would have told her. This morning her dad and Emma received an emergency call and had to be at the station early, so Snow had to be the one to take Hanna to school today.
"If this is going to become a habit, maybe we need to have you go to bed earlier," Snow said, raising her eyebrows at her daughter.
"Mom, you don't need to do that. It's not a big deal."
"It is a big deal. We should have been out of the house 15 minutes ago. I'm officially late for my meeting."
"Well, I'm sorry I made you miss your precious meeting. I know it's so important to you," Hanna said, rolling her eyes. Her mom always had all of these meetings and stupid paperwork to do since she became the mayor.
"Hanna, where is this attitude coming from?" Snow asked just as they pulled up to the school.
"Nowhere," Hanna said as she got out of the car and shut the door. "I'll see you later."
"Hanna, wait," Snow called out, but Hanna was already halfway into the building. Snow sighed and looked at the clock…she was so late for this meeting.
"Hey, Henry," Hanna said as she walked up to his locker.
"Hey, cutting it pretty close aren't you?" Henry asked with a smirk.
"I still have like two whole minutes until class. That's plenty of time," Hanna said with a grin. "Seriously though, I did not mean to be late this morning. I accidentally fell back asleep after my mom woke me up."
"Yeah, accidentally…right…" Henry said, raising his eyebrows at her. "Gramps had to wake you up three different times the other day before you finally got out of bed."
"Whatever…I don't like mornings, okay? But this morning I couldn't find my shoes and like always my mom had this important meeting…."
"Oh yeah…" Henry winced.
"What?" Hanna could tell by the look on his face he had something to tell her and it wasn't going to be good.
"Well, I may have hidden your shoes yesterday after school."
"You what?"
"I hid your shoes behind the couch. I thought it would be funny," Henry said with a shrug of his shoulders.
"Henry! Why did you do that? My mom threatened to give me an earlier bedtime for making her late!"
"I'm sorry I'm sorry. It was just suppose to be a joke. I was going to tell you this morning after you looked around like crazy for them for a few minutes, but then I ended up staying at my mom's last night and I forgot." Henry usually stayed at the loft on Thursdays, but he had to get something at Regina's for school last night and just decided to stay there instead.
"I am so going to get you back for this," Hanna warned him.
"I'll talk to Grandma. I'll tell her the shoe thing is my fault."
"You better. I am not going to bed any earlier than I already have to."
"You know to be fair, it wasn't my fault you made her late. You were the one who slept in," Henry told her with a raise of his eyebrows.
"Whatever," Hanna said with a roll of her eyes just as the late bell for first period rang.
"Oh crap," the kids both said as they quickly made their way to math class. This teacher was very strict and not one to cross.
"Looks like we have two for detention today," Mr. Holden said as Henry and Hanna entered the classroom.
"Sorry," they both said with a sigh as they took their seats. They knew this was going to happen. His policy was one day late equals one day of detention. Most teachers gave the kids a little bit of leeway, but not him. This was their first detention. In elementary school, Hanna and Henry missed recess several times for talking to each other during class, but this was junior high now and things were different. Now they would be stuck eating their lunches in a classroom without being allowed to talk, instead of enjoying lunch with their friends.
Hanna sat through the rest of math class and tried her best to pay attention. The class just seemed to drag on forever. She hated this class. Usually Hanna didn't mind school all that much. Everything came fairly easy to her. She made good grades and liked her teachers. She didn't even mind Mr. Holden really. This chapter they were studying was really difficult though and for some reason Hanna just couldn't get the hang of it. She just couldn't wait for it to be over.
"As soon as we get upstairs you are getting my shoes," Hanna told Henry as they got off of the bus and walked into the building.
"Okay, okay," Henry said. "Don't tell anyone that you got us detention today."
"I won't," Hanna said, not even denying that it was her fault. It was. She was the one who got to school late and kept Henry talking at his locker.
"Hey you two. How was school today?" David asked as Henry and Hanna entered the loft.
"Fine," they both answered.
"Hey buddy," Hanna said as she walked towards her dad, who was holding Neal. "Come see me." She held out her hands for her little brother. He smiled up at her as soon as he was in her arms. Hanna gave him a kiss and snuggled him close.
"Henry what are you doing?" Emma asked from the kitchen. She watched Henry pull a pair of shoes out from behind the couch. "You know what, I don't even wanna know…"
Henry tried to hold back a grin as he put Hanna's shoes back by the door. He felt bad Hanna got into trouble this morning partly because of him, but he still wished he could have been here to see his prank unfold.
"So, anything interesting happen at school today?" Emma asked, looking over at her dad, then back towards the kids.
"No," they both said with a shrug of their shoulders. Hanna continued to play with Neal, while Henry was hanging up his coat and book bag.
"You sure about that?" David asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure something happened," Emma added.
That got Hanna and Henry to focus on what they were being asked. They always got asked about what happened at school, but when they said nothing happened that was usually the end of the conversation. Why would they be pressing for an answer?
Hanna looked up at Henry. Do you think they know?
Henry shrugged his shoulders, knowing exactly what Hanna was thinking. Just play it cool.
Hanna nodded her head at him and looked back down at her baby brother. "It was just another normal day at school." Hanna walked over and sat down on the couch with Neal.
"Yeah, nothing special. I'm going to go upstairs and change," Henry said as he headed for the stairs.
"Not so fast. Go sit down," Emma said as she pointed to the couch.
Henry sighed, but did what he was told.
Hanna started to feel a little nervous now.
"Okay, try again. Tell us what happened at school today," Emma said.
"You obviously already know," Hanna said as she rolled her eyes at her sister. She didn't know how they knew, but they did.
"Hanna…" David warned.
Hanna just sighed.
"We got detention for being late to first period, okay," Henry told them.
"We know," Emma said,
"Then why did you even ask?" Hanna asked, starting to get annoyed.
"We wanted to hear it from you," David said with a raise of his eyebrows.
"It was my fault. I was cutting it close getting to school and was talking to Henry in the hallway. Don't blame him."
"No, I hid her shoes. She would have been at school earlier if I hadn't done that," Henry said.
"You did what?" Emma asked. "Why?"
Henry just shrugged his shoulders.
"From what I heard from your mother, you were late to school because you wouldn't get out of bed again," David said as he crossed his arms and looked at his daughter.
Hanna didn't answer. She just looked back down at Neal. He was sucking his thumb and starting to fall asleep.
"Do you have anything to say?" David asked.
"No," Hanna answered.
Henry nudged Hanna with his arm. "We're sorry."
"Uh yeah…I mean I'm sorry. We won't do it again," Hanna said as she looked up at her dad with a smile.
"So are we in trouble?" Henry asked.
"You know Dad, we do have a lot of filing that needs to be done at the station," Emma said.
"That we do," David agreed. "You two can come to work with us tomorrow and get all of that done."
"No," the kids complained at the same time.
"Mom, come on," Henry said.
"Dad, tomorrow is Saturday. I want to sleep in," Hanna added.
"I think you've done enough of that this week," David told her as he stood up and walked towards the kitchen to figure out what he was going to make for dinner.
"Sorry guys," Emma said with a shrug of her shoulders as she stood up to follow him.
Hanna opened her mouth to protest even more, but she looked down to find Neal fast asleep, and she didn't want to wake him. Hanna just sat back, covered Neal and herself up with a blanket, and watched some TV.
After awhile, Snow finally came home. She went to the kitchen to greet her husband and Emma, then made her way over to the couch where Hanna and Neal were still sitting. Neal had just started to wake up and was wiggling around in Hanna's arms.
"There's my baby," Snow said as she bent down to give Neal a kiss. "And my other baby, the troublemaker," she said to Hanna, giving her a kiss as well.
"Hi, Mom," Hanna said with a small smile.
"I heard somebody made themselves late for class this morning," Snow said with a raise of her eyebrows.
"Yeah…"
"Maybe you'll get up when you're told from now on?"
"I will," Hanna said with a sigh, not sure she really meant it.
"I hope so."
"You got home a lot later than you usually do." Hanna noticed that her mom seemed to be getting home later and later lately. Normally, she would be home just after Hanna got home from school. It's been 2 hours though, and she was just now getting home for the day.
"I had a lot to get done today," Snow said with a sigh.
"Do you have to work tomorrow too?" Hanna asked as she looked up at her mom.
"Nope, I'm all yours tomorrow," Snow told her.
"Good," Hanna said with a grin. She was glad that her mom would be home all day tomorrow. "Well, except for the morning when I have to go work at the station with dad," Hanna added as she rolled her eyes.
"Ah, is that the punishment?" Snow asked. She wasn't filled in yet on what Emma and David decided to do with Hanna and Henry. Snow was the one who received a call from the school about her daughter and grandson getting detention. She passed the information onto Charming and Emma, who said they would deal with it when the kids got home.
"Yeah…here, I think somebody needs his diaper changed." Hanna said as she stood up and gave Neal to her mom.
"Aww don't you want to do it?" Snow teased.
"No way," Hanna said as she shook her head.
"Okay, why don't you go upstairs and get Henry. Dinner is almost ready," Snow said with a laugh.
Hanna went upstairs to get Henry, and by the time they got back downstairs dinner was on the table, and there was an extra house guest. Emma invited Killian over for dinner again.
"Hey Hook," Hanna said as she sat down at the table.
"Hanna," Killian said with a nod of his head.
"So, do you not know how to make your own dinner or what?" Hanna joked. Killian was at their house for dinner just about every night this week. Hanna didn't really mind though.
"Hanna…" Snow reprimanded as she and everyone else sat down at the table.
"Mom, I'm just kidding. He knows I'm kidding. You know I'm kidding, right?" Hanna asked as she looked over at Hook.
"Aye," Hook told her.
"See Mom," Hanna said as she raised her eyebrows at her mother, who just shook her head and put some salad onto Hanna's plate.
"I didn't just come for the food. Your sister said we were going to watch something called a movie on that box thing." Hook pointed towards the living room.
"You mean the TV?" Hanna asked.
"Yeah, that."
"What movie are we going to watch?" Hanna asked Emma.
"Whatever you guys want," Emma said with a shrug of her shoulders.
Hanna grinned and looked over at Henry, who also had a smirk on his face.
"Oh we know which one we're going to watch," Henry said.
Emma had a pretty good idea which movie the kids were going to pick, and she couldn't wait to see Killian's reaction to it.
"Peter Pan?!" Hook asked as he read the words on the DVD case. He remembered Emma saying something about Pan being viewed as the good guy in this world. He also remembered Hanna and Emma laughing when he asked if this world's version of Captain Hook was handsome. This movie sounded like absolute rubbish to him.
Hanna tried to hold back a laugh as she quickly moved the case out of Hook's view. She didn't want him to look closely enough to see his Disney counterpart on the case. She wanted that to be a surprise. She put the disc into the DVD player and took a spot on the floor next to Henry.
"Are we suppose to believe that little girl captured Pan's shadow?" Killian said as he pointed to the TV and rolled his eyes.
"This is going to be fun," David whispered to Snow as he sat back to enjoy the show Killian was about to put on for them as they watched this movie. Snow covered her mouth to keep from laughing. She agreed, Killian was going to be very entertaining indeed.
Hanna knew Killian was going to lose it when his character finally made an appearance. She knew the part was coming up soon, and she made sure to keep her eyes on the pirate. She didn't want to miss his reaction.
"Bloody hell! That! That is what they think I look like?" Killian said as he stood and pointed at the screen.
Everyone in the room couldn't help but laugh. Nobody was trying to hide it this time.
Killian looked around the room at everyone. "Really, Swan? Even you?" he said as he looked at Emma.
"Oh come on. It's funny!" Emma pulled him back down onto the couch next to her. "You know you could let your hair grow out a little bit, and we could give you a perm just like his. Then you'd really look the part."
"Bloody hell, Swan," Hook said with a roll of his eyes and he looked back towards the TV. He couldn't help but grin a little though.
Killian could barely make it five minutes without some sort of remark about this not being done right or that never happened, but Hanna was pretty sure he was still enjoying the movie. He seemed to find it humorous just how wrong Disney got the story.
"I'll have you know, not once was I scared of the sound of a clock or that bloody crocodile," Killian said once the credits were rolling.
"I know you weren't" Emma told him with a smile.
"So, what did you think?" Hanna asked.
"Yeah, how did you like your first movie?" Henry added.
"Rubbish. This was complete and utter rubbish. Are all movies like this?"
"No," Emma told him with a laugh.
"Let me tell you though, Disney's version of me is even worse than yours," Snow said as she shook her head and rolled her eyes at the thought of that film. They didn't capture her right at all.
That made Killian feel a little better. "Shall we watch it then?" he suggested with a grin.
"Yeah, let's do it," Henry said as he jumped up to go get his copy of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
"Oh, Henry, no…" Snow complained, but it was too late. He was already upstairs.
"Come on, Mom. It'll be fun!" Hanna said as she sat herself down next to her mom and leaned her head on her shoulder.
"Yeah, you just want an excuse to laugh at me," Snow teased as she wrapped her arm around Hanna.
"That's not true," Hanna said with a grin.
"Uh, huh. Sure," Snow told her with a wink.
"Dad, will you make us some popcorn for this one?" Hanna asked.
"Sure, princess," David said as he stood and put a sleeping Neal into his crib before going to the kitchen to prepare the snack.
Henry returned from upstairs and had the movie all ready to go by the time David was done making popcorn. He made several bowls full so there would be enough for everyone. And much to Snow's dismay, they all sat back to watch her Disney counterpart on the screen.
