Tamaki's princess

Karaoke and confrontation

Roe's p.o.v.

We spent another week in Japan before returning to the states, so we could finish college and Ariel had begun calling Tamaki Daddy, which got her pretty much anything she wanted out of him, cause he'd look at her adoringly and cave in.

Actually any of Tamaki's friends she called uncle or auntie, or his dad when she called him grandpa had the same problem. Even Tamaki's dog was in love with Ariel. She'd already convinced him they should go to Disney and the others were up for it. I just convinced him to wait until after we're married.

Now I had the fun part telling my family that I was engaged. When I got back I told Aunt Ellie first after I dropped Ariel at her new preschool.

"Omigosh Roe, he didn't?", she asks as I nod chewing my lip blushing when I show her my engagement ring. "Oh I knew that boy had it bad!", she shouts hugging me as we giggle. "I can't wait to see your mother's face when she finds out."

"Awe but I wanted to tell her afterwards, you know she never approves my picks.", I say

"Actually that's not a bad idea.", she says.

"What's not a bad idea", comes my mothers voice.

"Talking about places to shop for dresses mom.", I say covering as my aunt smirks as my mom comes to the counter.

"Ellie.", she says.

"Mary.", my aunt replies.

" Roselia, you know I love ya, but if you'd just stop this ridiculous quest to have a café, I could set you up with a business contact, like Matt.

Sure, you'd have to toss the kid.", she says.

"Mother, that kid is your granddaughter!", I say glaring at her.

"And what has she done for you, got you working at this crummy café.", she says.

"That was my choice to work here mother, and Ariel's been worth every penny I've scrounged for her.", I say losing the emotion in my voice.

"Me and your father just want what's best for you, but you were always a lousy rebellious child.", she says.

"No Mary, Roe has been a well behaved doting daughter but you've talked down to her all her life and not appreciated the gem you have.", my aunt says " She was never rebellious, just because she kept her baby, and stopped letting you control her life." she says as a bell rings in the background.

"What kind of man is gonna want to be saddled with that brat, no man wants a child they didn't help make? Everyone's laughing at you Roselia, nobody loves you, who'd want to marry you, let alone date you?", my mother says.

"I would!", comes Tamaki's firm voice surprising us as I look up and his eyes lock on mine as Ariel sits on his hip, reminding me he was picking her up today. "She's a true Rose among thorns" he says striding over to me as my daughter reaches for my aunt who takes her, then he pulls me to his side.
