A/N: Hey everyone, it's been a while since I've updated. Sorry for making you wait it's been crazy at my house, so I will be updating when I can. anyways here is a new chapter. Enjoy!
It's been a week since they got the house cleaned out and put up for sale. Now, there was only one thing to do. Ask around the see if anyone knew who Aria's real parents were. Aria was glad to be home. She missed their bed just the entire atmosphere, really.
She was thankful that her friends helped take care of the farm while her and Sebastian were away. It wouldn't be long now before they would have to leave again for another tour. Aria and Sebastian walked around town asking everyone if they knew anything, and every time they asked, they got told the same answer,'talk to Willy'. They stood in front of willys shac, making Aria take a deep breath before opening the door. There stood willy rearranging the hooks in the show case.
When Aria and Sebastian approached the count, Willy stopped what he was doing and looked at the two. "I see. I have some explaining to do." He spoke.Aria and Sebastian looked at him curiously before he pulled out a box. "Willy, do you know anything about Aria's real parents?" Sebastian asked.
Willy nodded before taking a deep breath. "I do. But this is a long tale I have to tell, so let's go outside and have a seat." He said as they took the box with him.Aria and Sebastian looked at each other before they followed him outside. Willy sat on a bench and motioned Aria to sit beside him. "I knew this day would come eventually. The day your mother longed for. When you were born, it seemed like time stood still. You were such a small, delicate thing. But one day those people came and took you away threatening us that if we tried to find you or even went to the cops they would make sure we would never see you again so it was hopeless trying to find you. Then your mother got horribly sick and passed away. But not a day went by that I didn't think about you. Aria, I am your father." He said.As proof to back his story up, he had letters from the people she called her parents, threatening Willy and his wife. And then there were lots of pictures of her and her real parents, the same one she had in her possession.
This was a lot for her to take in, but she knew deep down this was the truth. "Why didn't you tell me when I moved back to Pelican town? And is Aria even my actual name?" She asked. Willy knew she would be full of questions and now was the perfect time to answer them. "Aria is your name given to you at birth. As to who they were and why they were actually friends of ours who couldn't have kids and were really decent people at the time. They had watched you one day while your mother and I went out on the boat and when we returned you were gone and a note was left threatening harm to you if we ever tried to get you back. And to why I didn.'t say anything to you sooner after you came here, I felt it was just better off I not tell you. Since I didn't know what became of those two." He told her.
Aria was overtaken with rage, not at Willy but towards the people who took her. "Thank you for telling me the truth." She said as tears started to form. Those people ruined not only her life but also ruined her real parents' lives. So much was taken from her. "How old was I when they took me?" She choked put. Willy looked down. "You were just an infant about 6 months old. Such a wee lass you were." He said. Aria took a deep breath. It wasn't his fault she was taken, but she wished he had talked to her about it sooner. "Well, what's in the past is in the past. We must move on and look to the future." She said Willy grabbed her and hugged her tightly. She could feel his body shake because he was crying. This, in turn, made Aria cry and hold onto her father. "You look just like your mother. I wish she was here with us today." He told her.Aria let go of him and wiped her eyes. "Can you tell me about what she was like?" She asked. Willy cleared his throat and wiped his eyes, and began to tell her about her mom and how they met.
Sebastian leaned against the post of the pier and watched the interaction between the two and began to wonder if continuing this band thing was going to be worth it in the long run. If he was out on the road, he would miss a lot of his children's lives, and Aria would have to do it all. Run the farm and take care of the kids.
He didn't want to do that to her. He made up his mind that he was going to leave Nightfall. His wife and kids were worth more than all the money and fame in the world. He just needed to tell Sam and the others. He feels like Sam would try to talk him out of it, but his mind was made up, and nothing was going to change his decision. They could deal without him.
After talking with Willy, the two went to the stardrop saloon to get some food. Sam Abigail and Maru were there playing pool. "Hey guys!" Aria said as she and Sebastian joined them. "Hey, you two!" Abigail said back. Aria joined Abby and Maru on the couch and began talking among each other. Sebastian walked up to Sam. "Hey man, I've been thinking about leaving the band." He told his friend.
Sam stared at him before sighing, "To be honest, we all saw it coming.
Aria will be giving birth to your children soon. It would be selfish to ask you to keep doing this. She needs you more than anything. So it's fine, Seb. No one is mad." Sam told him. Sebastian looked at his friend before nodding and smiled. "Thank you, Sam. Don't tell Aria I will tell her after a bit. You know Elliott can play the piano. Why try to ask him to take my place?" Sebastian suggested.
Sam nodded, saying he would talk to the girls about it. With bellies full, Sebastian and Aria walked hand in hand back to the farm. "So much has happened today. I'm ready to go to bed." She said, Sebastian nodded."Agree there is one more thing I need to talk to you about." He told her as they reached the front door. Aria looked at him curiously. "What is it?" She asked.
Sebastian ran his finger through his hair. "I'm leaving Nightfall. Seeing you with your dad today made me realize how much stuff I will miss out when I'm on the road. And I can't make you run the farm and take care of our children alone." He told her. Arias' eyes widened as he told her. "But Seb, this was your dream." She told him. Sebastian shook his head. "It was, but my new dream is being with you and our children." He told her before kissing her on the lips.
Aria kissed him back, relieving his when he told her he was staying. He would be home all the time now and wouldn't miss anything in their children's lives. Everything had finally fallen into place now it was just to wait for their children to arrive. Something they were scared but excited for.
