Bodyswitch plot: for Aidan

[happy_dsign]

Daphne blinked her eyes open, frowning as she lay in bed. The light looked weird and--wait, she hadn't fallen asleep at Wilke's last night, what was she even doing in a hut?

It was then that she realized she could hear. She couldn't identify what she was hearing, but there were so many sounds, it was almost overwhelming. "Whoa. I can hear," she murmured. It was strange to hear her own voice, loud and clear.

She blamed the newly-recovered hearing for the fact that it took her almost a full minute to realize she wasn't alone in bed. She turned over, still expecting Wilke even though the hut looked different--and shrieked when there was someone else in bed next to her. She scooted away and managed to fall out of the bed in the process.

That was when she realized she was naked, and did her best to cover the body that...wasn't hers. This just got better and better. She was so not awake enough to process all of this.

Daphne sighed, thinking back to the moment when the phone had rang--and everything they'd found out since. She kept the story to its most basic, though. "Bay did blood-typing in her science class at school and found out she had a blood type she couldn't possibly have. So they did DNA tests and...that's how we found out." Well. How most of them found out.

"My mom and I moved into their guest house so we could all get to know each other better."

"Wow. That's... wow."

Aidan couldn't imagine finding out something like that. He'd almost rather not know if something like that happened. As a parent, you'd love the child you raised no matter what but it had to have created some issues.

"Do you all get along?"

She couldn't help it, that question made Daphne burst out laughing. "Oh...we have our good days and bad days," she admitted once she'd calmed a little. "Bay and I get along pretty well here. Things were kind of tense back home though, a lot of the time."

"So it was like a normal family then," he said with a bit of a laugh. It made Aidan wonder if the tension was mostly between the mother's then. That had to make for an interesting dynamic.

"I don't think I'd go that far," Daphne wrinkled her nose, still chuckling a little. "Nothing about the situation could really be called normal. But...we were making it work, as much as we could." Until the truth about Regina came out, anyway, but she didn't want to think about that.

"That's usually the best way of going about things," he said with a nod. While it was still kind of weird to hear all this come out of Rachel's voice, but it also made it easier to seperate her from Rachel.

"So waking up one morning and having your whole world change is something you're used to."

"Kind of, yeah," Daphne agreed, nodding with a wry smile. "Even before the island. And of course there has been plenty of that here, too."
