Chapter 3

ONE MONTH LATER, AMELIA AND JOHNATHAN ARE MARRIED, and Kaitlyn is six weeks along with her and Henry's first child.


Henry. How is married life treating you?


Amelia. It is amazing. For our honeymoon, we went to Paris. We have a family tradition starting. It was so romantic. We put a lock on the bridge with our wedding date and saw our parents' locks and Rapunzel's parents. We also saw that the two of you put a lock there, and Flynn, we saw a lock that had a couple's names, and it had your last name.


Henry. Really?! Could it be my parents?


Amelia. Maybe.


Kaitlyn. Oh, my goodness! It would be so amazing if we could use that to find them.


Henry. That would be nice.


Madeline. Do you remember the names?


Johnathan. One name was King Edward of the Dark Kingdom, but the other was scratched out as if it was done on purpose.


Henry. That is odd. Why would only my father's name remain if he was my father?


Kaitlyn. We can find a way to contact him and have a meeting to find out if he is your father and where your mother is.


Henry. That would be amazing!


The housekeeper comes in and tidies around the sitting room, and goes to leave when she is called for.


Amelia. Flora, I hope it is no trouble, but could you bring two glasses of water or White wine for Rapunzel and me, Elsa, Flynn, and Hans?


Flora. It is no trouble at all. I will let the chef know. And would you like some wine or something later?


Amelia. No, thank you. I cannot have any alcohol currently. Not even a tiny drop.


Flora. Of course. I will be back with the drinks shortly.


Everyone looks at Amelia, and they are a bit confused.


Amelia smiles at them and announces she is four weeks along with her and Johnathan's first child.


Johnathan hugs her and kisses her sweetly.


Johnathan. That is amazing! I am so excited to be a father.


Amelia is enveloped in hugs and rounds of congratulations from her sister, her cousin, and her cousin-in-law. Her parents already knew and had been keeping the secret, but now they do not have to.


Kaitlyn is 17 weeks along two months later, and Amelia is 13 weeks along. The two shops are shopping for new clothes for them and their daughters. They also searched for a circle bassinet that changes as their newborns grow.


Unfortunately, they did not find any at the local children's stores. After sharing a delicious lunch of Caesar salad, cheeseburger, and fries, they returned to the castle in Malidona.


Henry. Hello ladies. Did you enjoy your shopping?


Kaitlyn. Hello darling. Yes, we did. We found everything we needed except for the bassinet. You know, the one we can interchange as our daughter and Amelia's daughter grows.


Henry. I am sorry to hear that. The two of you may get them as a present at the baby shower.


Kaitlyn. Maybe.


Amelia. I cannot believe our children will be first cousins and that they will grow up together.


Kaitlyn. I cannot believe it either. And our children will be Irish twins.


Five weeks later, Kaitlyn is 22 weeks, and Amelia is 18 weeks. They sit in the sitting room, waiting for everyone to gather so the two can open presents. They also have a surprise for Henry that, hopefully, he will appreciate very much.


Amelia and Kaitlyn receive various gifts, from strollers to cribs and car seats. After several minutes, all of the gifts are opened and put away. Kaitlyn then gets up and goes to get Henry's gift.


Kaitlyn comes back with a small box and hands it to Henry.


Henry opens it and is confused about why there is a paper inside. He picks it up and reads, and he is surprised to find his mother's name, as well as a letter explaining that the two of them were in an arranged marriage and they were not happy, but learned to love, even more so after Flynn was born. When he was eight, Henry's parents, King Edward and Queen Sarcofia, remarried out of love, but it only lasted a year. They divorced, and Sarcofia moved away. The letter states that it was because she had been hit several times, and his father gave him up because he did not want Henry to grow up in an abusive household. Henry finishes the paper, and it says that his parents are both in the area if he wants to meet them and rekindle their family.


Henry. This is amazing. Thank you so much for this. I want to meet them. Although, I do want to ask them why they fell out of love and why my father hit my mother. I need to know if this will be a safe environment to rebuild.


Kaitlyn. Of course. We would never want you to be in a toxic environment.


One month later, the preparations are set for Henry and Kaitlyn to travel to the outskirts of Corona and visit the Dark Kingdom.


When the couple makes it to Caledonia, they travel to the castle. After a long trek, the two are allowed into the castle and guided to the throne room. There, they see the King and Queen.


Edward. What is the matter?


Henry. I have come to speak with you and your mother.


Edward turns from the window and sees Henry standing with a young lady before him.


Edward. My word. Is it you?


Henry. Yes, it is I, Henry.


Sarcofia walks towards Henry and smiles as she recognizes her son.


Sarcofia. Dear, it is undoubtedly our son. Our son has come back after all these years.


Henry hugs them both, and the three of them reunite.


Kaitlyn watches with a smile before she is also accepted into the hug. She welcomes the hug, remembering what it was like to be reunited with her family and have her husband warmly welcomed.


After a moment, the group settles in the sitting room, and they each have a cup of tea.


Henry. I have so many questions. Why did you two fall out of love? How did you realize the relationship was not working? Was it hard giving me up? What made you decide to meet me after all these years? Who scratched Mother's name from the locket in Paris? Finally, are you in a state where a healthy relationship can be formed?


Edward and Sarcofia look at each other and decide it is finally time to tell the truth, especially since their son is back in their presence.


Sarcofia. Henry, my darling boy, we fell out of love because of my drug abuse, and your father, Edward, had been taking care of me, but the stress got the better of him, and his drunkenness played a part in him hitting me and beating me. We were not in a good place, physically or emotionally, especially not mentally.


Edward. That is part of how we realized the relationship was falling apart. The other thing was that the house ended up a mess; you were always tucked in your closet with the nursemaid, and we inadvertently put the pressure of raising a child on our staff instead of getting clean and taking responsibility on our own.


Sarcofia. It was so hard giving you up for adoption. If we could have kept you, we would have, but we both knew deep down that adoption was best and hoped that you would grow up in a safe and loving environment. From that day onward, we went to therapy, took parenting classes, spent some time in a rehabilitation center, and cleaned up our act. We knew we had to get better for you and each other.


Edward. By the time we were sober, which had been ten years, assuming you were now eighteen, we would try and find you. We had our guards search far and wide, and we even checked with the royal court and the connected agencies, including the adoption agency we used, but there were no records of you, except for the closed adoption papers.


Sarcofia. We got a letter from this lovely young lady who mentioned she is your wife and soon-to-be mother to your child, and she heard about the locket from your cousins and wanted to surprise you with the gift of meeting us after all these years. We were delighted that you had met a lovely woman, settled down, and even more pleased that someone finally understood you. It was as if we were meant to reunite.


Edward. Unfortunately, we do not know who scratched out your mother's name, as neither of us has been to Paris since our honeymoon. To answer your last question, yes, we are in a state of stability and peace. We have been slowly rekindling our relationship, and we want to include you in the journey and make new memories with you.


Henry thinks about everything he has just heard. We wanted to rekindle his relationship with his parents so severely, and they seemed to be truthful in their responses, but he was still unsure. After a few minutes, he decided that they would talk and visit on a trial basis, and if anyone did something to break each other's trust, he would cut them off.


Edward and Sarcofia agree, and they hug. The trio reluctantly released the hug, and Flynn and Rapunzel headed to their castle. Upon arrival, the couple had dinner and got ready for bed.


Kaitlyn. I am so glad you got to meet your parents and that you will spend time together and become a family again.


Henry. So am I. I hope neither of them breaks my trust or that I do something that would hurt their trust in me.


Kaitlyn. I am sure you will all be a happy family and stick together through thick and thin.


Henry. It should work out that way. And they may get to meet their granddaughters.


Kaitlyn. That would be so wonderful! I will have to write Amelia and Madeline about it to see what they think.


Henry. They would love to meet their uncle and aunt and Amelia and Johnathan's daughter to meet her grandparents.


Kaitlyn. I cannot wait to write them! I am happy that I got to share these experiences with you, my cousins, and my cousin-in-law.


Henry. As am I, my love. For now, we need to get some sleep.
