Wow, so Didi's an empath? That's really interesting. It doesn't sound like such a controlling or manipulative power, indeed, it sounds more like a 'soft' power, one better used for healing than warring... so it's very interesting to see what Didi does with it, or if she develops any other powers...
Didi is amazing. Like, she's a better adjusted version of a young Emma Frost. In fact, with Emma as her mother, she's probably growing up even sharper and more brilliant.
I love seeing things from Didi's perspective, but it's unfortunate in a few other respects - we don't know the full extent of Emma and Emily's relationship, whether they've approached domesticity or not, besides that they still argue a lot. We don't know if they spend summers together, or where. For that matter, Didi's perspective, like any child, is unfortunately limited to the here and now... we know little of the extent of the relationship between her and Emma, and we know nothing of Rhiannon. Also, we do not know if she knows of the truth of her origin.
But those are problems I assume you will resolve further on. For now, this is brilliant. I love how subtly you portray the strain in JJ and Will's marriage, especially through Henry's eyes. I love that Emma was right about Henry, and how hilarious it is yet heartwarming the way Didi tries to help him. Emily trying to be a proper mother to Didi was highly amusing and very sincere, and you can just feel her blaming Emma for this. And of course, Didi herself is absolutely perfect, so precocious, so sure of herself, more like Emma than Emily in that, and so awesome. I can't wait to see more.
