Remember: A father`s daughter
Danny and Aria
Aria frown as she sat on the school's rooftop, she stared at the night sky she couldn't believe her father was so protective and annoying. Atticus was a good guy and she really liked him, but her father kept butting in.
"Stupid" Aria mumble while she opened her hand and created a small plasma ball, she sighed and played with it slightly.
"How long will dad butt into my business?" She thought while she fired the plasma ball into the sky and watching it explode.
"Hey," Danny said waving while he landed beside her, "How's it going?"
"What do you want, dad?" Aria asked looking away from him, placing her legs near her chest and hugging them.
"Just want to talk," Danny said sitting down beside her, "Can we?"
"You! Want to talk?!" She asked raising a brow slightly, "Really?"
"I just want to talk and nothing else," he said sighing softly and looking down at her.
"Mom sent you, didn't she?" She asked glancing back at him, "Only reason you came"
"Your mother didn't send me!" Danny lied and crossed his arms, "I came on my own occur"
"That's a lie, dad" Aria mumbled and stared into the night sky, "You're scared of mom"
"I'm not scared of your mother!" Danny said pouting slightly; Aria raised a brow slightly and smirk.
"Hey, mom!" She shouted and looked back. Danny's eyes widen slightly and quickly turned his head, he scanned the rooftop and didn't see Ember. "Told you," she said and smiled.
"Damn, she got me" Danny pout some more and sighed slightly
"Listen, Aria," Danny said staring at the sky as well, "I know Atticus is a good guy and you like him... I'm just looking out for you"
"If Atticus is a good guy then there no reason for you to 'look out' for me," she said moving her legs away from her chest and letting them dangle from the rooftop's edge.
"I know," he said gripping the edge slightly, "With everything that happens to you, I can't help myself to worry about you. You're my daughter, Aria and I want nothing but what's best for you. I want you to be safe and to live your life the way you want it, but because you're my child you'll always be in danger from the ghost of my past. If it's not Pariah Dark then it will be someone else... you'll be forced to look over your shoulder for the rest of your life. I wished I was able to give you a normal childhood I got to experience... before the powers came into my life"
"You wouldn't have met mom... if you were just a normal, powerless human" Aria mumble and pouted slightly.
"Yes, that's true," Danny said nodding his head slightly, "If I was just a normal human then I wouldn't have met your mother, I wouldn't have been there to save her life from the house fire, and you wouldn't have been born. So, I guess things happen because they're supposed too... don't you think? It's all fate?"
"You sound like Rhea" Aria said smiling some more
"She's not wrong," Danny said chuckling slightly and shaking his head slightly, "It's fate! I was fated to gain my powers, I was fated to fight your mother, and I was fated to be with her! The journey itself is different but the destiny is the same"
"Since when are you so wise?" She asked and nudge her father, "It's usually, mom"
"I can be wise too!" Danny said and pretended to be offended slightly, "Your mother doesn't know everything!"
"Just the majority" Aria said laughing slightly at her father's blank expression
"I don't like the idea of... boys and you... but I guess... Atticus is alright in the end" Danny mumble and looking away.
"So... I can date...?" She asked smirking
"Ugh... yeah..." Danny mumbles with a frown and a pout.
"Really!" Aria shouted quickly standing up, "Seriously?! You're not joking, right?"
"You can date... BUT only once a month! Like on the date a month! And I don't want Atticus in my house!" Danny quickly added and pointing his finger at her, "Or you in his!"
"Fine!" Aria shouted hugging him in her arms
"I'll just have mom help me," Aria thought with a grin on her face; Danny sighed softly and hug her back.
"How about we head back?" He asked
"Okay," she said standing up
"Your mother probably has dinner waiting," Danny said standing as well, "Better hurry before she gets mad at us"
Aria laughs and nodded her head, she hugs her father quickly before she took off and headed home. Danny smiled and followed her home, the two landed and entered the house before changing back into their human form.
"How did the talk go?" Ember asked hugging Aria in her arms, "Did you win?"
"Yup!" Aria smiled while she hugged her mother, "But I'll need some help later"
"Got it!" Ember whispered and wink at her
"What?" Danny asked staring at the two of them, as they smiled and laugh slightly.
"So, what's for dinner, mom?" Aria asked
"You're favourite," Ember said while they headed to the dining room
"Hm... Ember has me wrap around her little finger" Danny pout while he followed them to the dining room.
Two months later
"I can't believe this is happening," Aria said while she held his hand, as they waited in the main entrance of the Lockwood's estate. "How did you convince your father?" She asked.
"A lot of ass kissing" Atticus teased and smiled at her
"Gross," she said laughing slightly
"The branch family hasn't seen the inside of the estate for decades!" He said
"It's a major first step," Aria said moving her hands from his, "I'm glad everything going well with Ashton"
"He's made a lot of progress on his side... I'm just hoping I'm doing the same on mine" he said sighing slightly.
"The branch family is about to see the estate! I think it's a huge step" Aria said trying to comfort him, "You're doing as much as Ashton"
"Are you sure about this?" Jasper asked while he held his arms crossed behind his back, while he stood next to his son and wife.
"Father…. Please…." Atticus mumble staring back at his father
"I don't approve of this!" Jasper said moving his arms and crossed them over his chest.
"Father" Atticus slowly turned and walked towards his father, "Vincent wanted me to tell you something"
"And what's that?" Jasper asked raising a brow slightly
"You have won this game?" Atticus said with a confused look, "What does that mean?"
Jasper uncrossed his arms and sighed softly, he looked away slightly as he remembered his childhood memories.
"What does it mean, father?" Atticus asked
"It was a small bet Vincent and I used to play as kids" Jasper explained and smiled tenderly, "Before….. well….. the feud….. we were tied in our bets, and we both wanted to win"
"Sounds like a nice memory," Avelina said smiling and touching his shoulder; Vincent nodded his head when he heard the doorbell.
"Here goes nothing," Atticus said walking towards the door, he took a deep breath and opened the door. He smiled and saw Ashton and Star with their respective families.
"Whoa! This place is nice!" Claire shouted while they all walked in, "Damn!"
"Claire… where's your manners?" Andy asked while he crossed his arms.
"Never thought I would be here again?" Star mumble while she looked around the estate
"So this is the Lockwood estate….. hm….. my mother told me a few stories," Christopher said while he held Laura in his arms, "She would have loved to see this place once more"
"Why did you invite us, Atticus?" Ashton asked crossing his arms, "The branch family hasn't been in the main estate for decades?"
"Father?" Atticus smiled looking back at him
"Ashton….. you've seen my brother, haven't you?" Jasper asked while he adjusted his tie slightly, "Did... He…. Seem at peace?"
"Jasper…. I….. I never realised you still cared about my father?" Ashton asked in shock
"He's my... Was my brother" Jasper said frowning slightly, "We argue and had different views... But he was still my brother"
"I never thought I would see you….. given into your emotions?" Ashton mumbles while Star and Andy glance at each other.
"As future head of the Lockwood family and honouring Vincent's last wishes..." Atticus said walking into the center of the group, "I wish to end the branch and main families! We are all Lockwoods, we should all be one family!"
"End the family feud?" Christopher asked chuckling slightly, "Seriously?! I seriously doubt the rest of the main family wants me!"
"Yes! Christopher's mother and grandmother are accused of starting the feud!" Sam said glaring at them.
"The ones who started this feud and tore this family apart is Glitter!" Avelina said stepping forward, "Her actions is the reason the family has been torn!"
"Are you accusing us?!" Andy shouted and stood in front of his wife, "Star is Glitter's daughter! There's nothing we can do about that!"
"Dad! Stop!" Claire shouted and held a fist, "Arguing won't help!"
"Richard, Glitter, and Laura!" Atticus shouted with his arms crossed, "What they have done! Their decisions and action! Are all in the past! We need to look towards the future! For new generations of Lockwood's like Laura the second!"
"I don't want…. Laura to be….. rejected…." Sam mumble as she took her daughter in her arms, "This fight is old…."
"This fight is annoying" Star mumble
"Star and Christopher! You two are the children of both Laura and Star! I believe if you two are willing to end this feud, and prove to the main family you are ready to put the past behind you! Then we can move forward to peace and reunite the family!" Atticus said with a big smile and hoped Christopher and Star would agree.
"Hm….. my mother was a caring soul," Christopher said staring at his daughter and remembered his dear mother, "And I miss her every day….. and I know my mother would be overjoyed to end this feud. So…. you have my support along with my family, and hopefully my daughter, who is named after my mother….. won't live in hatred"
"I'm not my mother and never will be!" Star said sighing deeply and stared at the estate, knowing her mother had lived most of her life in his home before she was thrown away to the branch. "She's the one who caused this feud! And I'll be the one who ends it! You have my support and my family as well!" Star said smiling.
"Remarkable" Jasper mumble watching the branch... No, their families speaking to each other, and getting along.
"Will this feud really end?" Jasper thought and frown slightly, "My father's wish….?"
"Why don't you all stay for dinner?" Atticus asked and walked towards Aria, "The beginning of the end! Let's all eat as one family!"
"I have to move on" Jasper smiled and motion his hand to the home.
"Welcome home!" he shouted
"You did it, Atticus!" Aria said as she held his hand, and watched everyone leave together as a family.
"And I wouldn't be able to without your help" Atticus replied and held her hands back, "Thank you, Aria"
"I should leave... It's a family dinner after all" Aria said and peck his lips, "Bye!"
"See you later" Atticus waved and smiled while he watched her leave.
"Hopefully you'll be family too, Aria" Atticus sighed and turned back and headed to the dining hall.
