All the magic (OUAT Peter Pan)

Chapter 37: Time to eat

"So how do you like house crazy?" Jacob asked as they sat down in the small dining room. There was room for six, fitting them all perfectly. Jacob sat down on the bench and Amelia sat down next to him.

She smiled and told him, "It's a lot to take in but everyone seems really nice."

"Ha! Then you clearly haven't been here long enough," Tim said as he walked in with a covered dish. He was wearing a pair of dark gray sweatpants and a maroon shirt. His hair was dyed red with black tips and was in a small man bun. "I'm Tim btw." He sat down across from Amelia.

"Nice to meet you, Tim." She told him as he uncovered the dish, it smelt wonderful.

Ashlyn walked in with Elizabeth on her tail, jazz music coming from the living room. "There you go Timothy, WC album as requested."

"Ah, now that's some good music," Nick said, helping himself to some food.

"Manners Nicholas. You know better, wait for everyone." Ashlyn told him as she set her napkin on her lap.

Amelia asked "What does WC stand for? And the food smells great."

Jacob grabbed her hand and told her, "It stands for Wild Crew. It was a band my dad was in back in the day. That's how he and mom met, she snuck out for her parent's place to see them play."

"Jacob, it's not nice to tell stories about people who are sitting right next to you." his mother scolded him.

"Ugh, can we eat now? I spent all this time making something nice for J's girl and now you guys just want to look at it." Tim complained.

"My childish brother is right, let's eat." Elizabeth said, helping herself to some salad. Tim had made pork chops, roasted potatoes, and a salad with tomatoes and mozzarella.

Quickly Amelia took a pork chop and started eating, happy for something to do.

"Since mom won't let me tell it, dad how about you tell Lia about when you met mom?" Jacob said right after his mother took a bite so she couldn't yell at him.

Nick nodded at his son "Great idea kid. So when I was oh, maybe seventeen me and the guys got a gig at this cafe, a real local spot that was really hard to find. It was an epic night, it was our first big show. Right as we were walking on stage I saw this chick who looks like a star. She obviously was not from around there, with her heels and fancy tiny skirt-"

"Really Nick?" Ashlyn interrupted. "It was not that short."

"The point is I knew she wasn't from the area and I couldn't stop looking at her all night. After our show I found her standing alone near the back. I asked where she was from, and what was a pretty little thing like her doing in a little hole-in-the-wall place like that. Asked if I could buy her a drink and the rest was history."

"Really? That's so cute it almost sounds made up." Amelia said with a slight laugh.

"It's real alright. When I was younger, it felt right out of a dream." Ashlyn admitted. "But enough about us, tell us all about your life. How did your parents meet?"

"Mom!" Jacob hissed glaring at her.

"Jacob, it's fine," Amelia told him. "I don't remember how they met. I would have to ask my uncle Matt. They died when I was a baby. I think he said the three of them were friends but I'm not sure."

"Sorry to ask such an upsetting question dear, I didn't know." His mom said. "Let's talk about something else. How did you two get together?"

"Well, Lia was having a great day so me and her wanted to go out to eat to celebrate a bit. We went for a drive afterward and I kissed her. Best day of my life." Jacob told them proudly as he grabbed her hand and kissed it.
