Jason went over to Sam, picked up Ariel, and laid her on the couch. Sam was already staring at the man and woman who were apparently Ariel's parents. She found out their names were Athena and Triton.
"I don't what stunt you're trying to pull, but we are her parents. We've raised her since we found her. Where were you when she had the flu, where were you when she woke up from nightmares, where were you when she fucking kidnapped?" Jason went over to her and held her close as the tears streamed down her face. Sonny went over to Ariel as she started to wake up. She woke up and shook her head.
"Wow, weirdest dream ever. You said that you found my "parents"." She looked up and saw that it was true. "I guess it wasn't a dream." Ariel said getting off the couch. "Michael, can you take everyone under the under the age of twenty-one to get ice cream or something?" Michael got the hint and took Kristina, Morgan, Molly, Emma, Jocelyn, Melody, Cameron, Jake, Aiden, and Spencer out of the house. Ariel turned back to Athena and Triton and crossed her arms. "What do you want from me than?"
"We just wanted to meet our little girl." Ariel rolled her eyes and scoffed.
"Well, I don't want to meet you. You can leave now." Ariel said pushing them out the door and shutting it behind them. She turned back to Sonny and stalked over to him. "You are in SO much trouble. As soon as everyone leaves and Melody goes to bed, you better be ready to have a talk." Jason and Sam looked at each other. They had raised Ariel and never saw her that pissed. Ariel walked away from Sonny and ran upstairs. Robin and Emily ran after her. They found her in her room sitting on the bed on her stomach with her head buried a pillow. They walked over to her and rubbed her back.
"I know this is a lot to take in Ariel, but you can't just shut down." Emily said.
"You guys don't get it," she brought her head up from the pillow and looked at them. "All my life, Jason and Sam have been my parents. They told me I was adopted and I was fine with that, I still am, but now these other people come and try to come into my life. Any person would be happy to have Jason and Sam as their parents. Emily, you should know, Jason's your brother. The thing is, I don't want things to change. I don't want to think of those people as my parents. I'm happy the way my life is, I have amazing friends, a beautiful daughter, the greatest husband in the world, what more could I ask for." Robin and Emily laughed before hugging Ariel. They went back to the living room to find that everyone had gone home except Jason, Sam, Patrick, Emma, Monica, and Edward. Michael had brought the children back only a few minutes ago.
"Are you okay, Ariel?" Monica asked. Ariel nodded and went over to the couch. She sat down and Melody went over to her mom.
"Mommy, you okay?" Ariel looked at her smiling daughter and couldn't help but do the same. Ariel nodded and hugged her daughter. Melody smiled as she hugged her mom back. Patrick picked up Emma and told Robin that they should leave.
"I guess so. Ariel, call me if you need me okay?" Ariel nodded. "I'm serious at anytime." Monica, Edward, and Emily left as well. Jason and Sam stayed until Melody went to bed. Ariel entered the bedroom and looked Sonny shaking her head. Sonny tried to speak but she held up her hand.
"Sonny, just… don't. I'm getting into this right now. I'm tired and angry. Speaking of which…" she grabbed a pillow and blanket and threw them at Sonny. "Have fun sleeping on the couch." Sonny put the things down and grabbed Ariel's wrists. "How dare you! I don't want those people in my life. If they really wanted me then they would have raised me instead of dumping me on mom and dad."
"I just thought that maybe you would want to meet them."
"You thought wrong. Just leave now." Sonny sighed, released her wrists, and took the things to the couch. Ariel slammed the door and slid to the ground. She buried her face in her hands and cried hard. She sat there for a while and cried. She wiped her eyes and got into the bed. She reached under her pillow and pulled out a picture of her, Jason, and Sam when she was a baby. She traced Sam and Jason's faces. "You're my parents no matter what anyone says. I love you guy and no one could ever take your places." She put the picture back under her pillow and lay down. She felt an unfamiliar chill of not being in Sonny's arms for the night. She shrugged it off and fell asleep.
Olivia's wedding- seven days later
Ariel and Melody arrived at the church a few minutes after Olivia. They walked in and saw Olivia wearing a beautiful white dress. Melody was wearing a pink dress made for the flower girl. Ariel was wearing a blue dress made for the maid of honor. Dante came in after knocking.
"Hey Dante."
"Uncle Dante." Melody cried running to hug him. Olivia looked at Ariel how just shrugged. Dante picked up the child and spun her around.
"Hi sweetie, how are you today?"
"I'm great. I get all the flower petals." Melody showing him the basket filled with lily petals. Dante smiled and laughed. Lulu came in to check on Olivia.
"Hey just checking on the blushing bride. We're almost ready to start. Are you ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be I guess." Olivia said.
"Ma, relax you'll be fine. If Steve didn't love you then he wouldn't have asked you to marry him." Dante said assuring. Ariel agreed with him. Dante put Melody down and walked out of the room with Lulu.
"He's right you know. I mean it's not as if you were marrying Sonny. Then I wouldn't be so sure."
"Trouble in paradise? Is this from what happy a week ago?" Ariel nodded. "Ariel, just relax."
"We haven't slept in the same bed in a week. I think I'm starting to catch a cold from not being in his arms all night. I haven't been able to hold anything down for the last five days."
"I don't think you're getting sick, I think you're pregnant." Ariel stood there dumbstruck.
"I can't be the last time we did that was… three months ago. My birthday."
"And it takes two months for a baby to develop enough to be registered."
"Okay, let's stop talking about this and get you married." As if on cue the music began to play. Melody put the petals on the floor, everyone walked down, and Olivia was escorted by Dante. Dante had a hard time letting his mother go. He did and then after a few minutes, the priest said those magic words.
"You may kiss the bride." Steve slowly lifted her veil and caressed her cheek with his hand. He leaned down at kissed her slowly but passionately. The whole church erupted in applause. "I now pronounce to you Mr. and Mrs. Steve Webber." The newly wedded couple walked down the aisle. Everyone else followed slightly afterward. Ariel couldn't stop think about what Olivia said. Could she really be pregnant? There was only one way to find out.
