Remember: A father`s daughter
What the heart wants
Shout out to Kitty Katz
Danny yawned and walked inside the house, he stretched slightly and closed the door behind him. He smiled when he saw Ember writing a new song, he sat down beside her and poke her cheek.
"What?" Ember asked glancing at him
"New song?" He asked
"Hopefully a new hit" Ember said moving her pencil around her fingers.
"Every song you write is a hit," Danny said kissing her cheek. Ember smiled and poke his chest with her pencil, she kissed him back and messed his hair. Danny smiled some more and hug her slightly when they heard the door swing open; Danny and Ember turned their heads and saw Aria storming to her room.
"What's wrong with Aria?" Danny asked raising a brow
"Hm... well its most likely boy problems," Ember said pushing Danny back slightly, "I'll handle it"
"Why can't I handle it?" He asked watching her sit up
"You get overprotective, overreact, and you would probably be in jail for attempted murder" Ember said showing three fingers and tapping each one.
"Well... its sounds better when I say it," he said crossing his arms
"Aria will feel much comfortable talking to be," Ember said ruffling his hair, "Now! Can you start dinner?"
"Dinner? I can't cook! You get mad when I do" he said
"Can your pasta?" Ember asked giving him a box of spaghetti, "There are instructions on the back"
"Okay" Danny mumbles taking the box and staring at the instructions. Ember rolled her eyes and left him alone in the kitchen, uncertain how the kitchen will look like when she returns. She sighed and went upstairs; Ember knocked on Aria's bedroom door before she walked in.
"Aria" Ember said walking inside and sitting on the bed with her, "Is it Atticus or Ashton?"
"Both" she mumbled
"What did they do?" Ember asked
"I don't know if Atticus and Ashton just see me as a prize," Aria said sighing some more, "The daughter of Danny Fenton! The world greatest hero and of Ember McLain! The top pop singer in the world! Not to mention the sole heir to our family's fortune!"
"I see your problems," Ember said nodding her head slightly, "Well, Aria... I can't say I've experienced this issue myself. I only had the issue of your father being a hero and nothing else, he did have money but not as much as we have now."
"So... how did you know... dad was the right one?" Aria asked as she held her stuff tiger.
"Hm..." Ember placed her hand under her chin and tried to think of something to say, "Well, I guess it was just a feeling"
"A feeling?" Aria asked and raised a brow, "That doesn't help, mom!"
"I know it doesn't make sense, but when I first met your father I knew I would spend the rest of my life with him" Ember explained.
"So... you just knew when dad proposed?" Aria asked trying to understand where her mother was coming from.
"I can't really describe it, Aria" Ember said and moving some of her hair, "But your heart knows what it wants, and when the times comes to pick between Ashton or Atticus... well you'll know"
"Well... I Atticus is better than Ashton" Aria said blushing slightly
"He does treat you better" Ember said smiling at her, "But it's your choice, not mine or your father's"
"Well... if dad had it his way? I would probably be single until the die I died, not to mention having two funerals" Aria said laughing slightly.
"Speaking of which... I left your father alone in the kitchen" Ember said sitting up and kissing the top of Aria's head, "Well if we even have a kitchen left"
"Mom! You know we should never let dad alone in a kitchen" Aria said laughing as well, "He's going to burn house down like last year"
"Oh..." Ember quickly opened Aria's bedroom door and ran downstairs; Aria smiled and laugh while she heard her mother and her father argue over something he did.
Prom night
Atticus stood outside the Fenton's modest home...and it was prom night...but he wasn't wearing a tux...he was wearing his normal t-shirt and hat...the clothes that made him feel normal and not the future head of a family that really needs to rethink its priorities. He was ashamed of how a lot of people in his family were snobs that only cared about images and used marriage as a means of increase money and power. He was ashamed of himself for almost being like them in regards to Aria...He knew he liked her...but he was worried about how much was sincere and how much was from star struck. Aria wasn't a prize. ..she was a person...a wonderful, beautiful person that deserved better.
"Here goes nothing" Atticus took a deep breath and knocked on the door, he anxiously waited for someone to answer and was hoping it wouldn't be Danny. He nervously rubbed the back of his neck when he saw Aria open the door, she stared at him with a confused look.
"Atticus?" she asked closing the door behind her
"Hey," he said softly and smiled slightly
"What do you want?" she asked crossing her arms and leaning against the door
"Please don't close the door! I just want to talk….. could you please hear me out?" Atticus asked nervously moving his hands some more.
"Fine… talk," Aria said crossing her arms
"To be honest….. I don't know how to prove….. I only care about you, and you alone" Atticus said taking a deep breath, "You're right! Being Danny and Ember's daughter isn't easy and there is benefits with a man was able to win your heart"
"You're not helping your case," Aria said glaring at him
"But! I do care for you, I don't care about your family fortune, your fame, I don't give a shit about those things!" He said and walked closer to her, "I don't even accept the wealth of being a Lockwood! If I could! I would live a normal life and not some heir to a fortune….. the new head of a messed up family!"
"Atticus…." Aria whispered staring at him and felt her heart beating faster
"I want to fix the Lockwood family! Unit once more! But….. I want you by my side" he said and slowly held her hands, "I… I love….. you….. Aria"
"What….?" Aria whispered in shock, believe her ears have played a trick on her.
"I…. I love you….." Atticus said once more with a smile, "I don't know how to prove it….. prove I only want you, but… I just wanted to get those words off from my chest"
"Atticus….." Aria smiled and held his hands tighter, "I….. I love you too"
Atticus stared in shock as well, he wasn't expecting Aria to return his feelings towards her. He blinks slightly and just wondered if his heart would burst from his chest and ruin the moment.
"Is…. your dad home?" Atticus asked
"He's on a date with my mother," Aria said chuckling slightly and knew the reason why he asked, "Don't worry! You'll get to live another day"
"Good" he said and smiled even more. Atticus held Aria's cheek and slowly approached her, he stared at her lips and lean in even closer to her. Aria stared in shock slightly before she closed her eyes and approached him as well, she waited for Atticus's lips to meet hers but was surprised to see he had pulled back.
"Ashton…. Why should I get a happy ending and you can't….." Atticus sighed and moved his hands away from Aria, he stared at her slightly and held his hand in a fist.
"What's wrong?" Aria asked backing away from him and pushing some of her hair behind her ear.
"It's not that," Atticus said quickly and felt his heart pounding within his chest, "I really want to kiss you but…."
"But?" she asked looking away slightly
"Could….. I ask you a favour?" he asked smiling slightly
"What favour?" Aria asked raising a brow
"Your godmother….. is the Ghost of fate, right?" Atticus asked and hope Aria would agree to help him.
"Yeah… why?" she asked raising a brow some more
"I want….. Rhea to bring Ashton's parents souls….. so he could get closures once and for all" Atticus said frowning slightly. Aria's eyes widen and stared at Atticus in shock, she honestly wasn't sure if Rhea would allow such an act.
"What?" she said in shock
"Ashton needs to talk to them… especially his father," he said and held her hands.
"But….. it could backfire on him," Aria said and stared at their hands, "What if Ashton's father says… something horrible?"
"And maybe he'll say the right thing….. to end the family feud," Atticus said and took a deep breath, knowing he was taking a big risk on bringing back his uncle and aunt's souls.
"I…. I'll speak to Rhea….. but there's no grantee she will" Aria replied and stared at the ground, "You're about to take the biggest gamble of your life, Atticus"
"I know," he said
