A Lovely Surprise

We Meet

*Aria's POV ~ ~ ~
I wasn't excited about Christmas. I just want to find my parents. Why are they so hard to find. What if we don't find them. ... maybe they don't v wanna be found....
" sweetie open up your gifts." My mom said. I nodded trying my best to be happy
I tore each gift open doing my best to be grateful for all my presents.
" Thank you mom & dad." I said.
" mom & dad? Girl Santa clause is the one you need to thank." My dad joked.
"Thanks Santa!" I giggled.
" Let's eat breakfast." My mom said.
My mom was setting up her new camera. She had it on a stand facing the door.
"What are you doing mom?" Alice giggled.
"Uh just focusing my camera. Trying to figure it out." She said.
" Ari you need to go brush your hair. You look like Frankenstein's  wife." She teased. "Shut up you sour pickle. At least my teeth aren't yellow!" I shot back.
" girls stop. Aria, come here
Let me fix your hair really quick." My mom said. She took a pick threw it and put some hair mousse in it to make it pretty.
" at least I can fix my hair, your teeth are still yellow." I whispered as I walked by Alice. James nearly spit out his biscuit. "She's a savage little girl." James laughed. "Shut up pipsqueak!" Alice hollered. "Girls!  This is the last time I'm warning you!" Mom said.
My dad walked up to my mom whispering into her ear.
" Ari come here baby." My dad said.
They kneeled beside me. "You have one last christmas present." They said.
" well we're is it?" I asked clueless looking around.
My mom looked out the window really quick, "Shawn go turn my camera on!" She said.
" your present just pulled into the drive way. Honey sara couldn't find both your parents but she did find your daddy. He's here to see you baby. Are you ready to meet him?" She asked. "My dad?" I asked surprised. She nodded smiling. "He can't wait to see you. Are you ready?" She asked softly. I nodded nervously, "but what if he doesn't want to be in my life?" I asked worried. "Oh he does babygirl." She smiled kissing my head. I held my moms hand as a knock came at the door. "Hi Michael, you can come right in." My dad greeted. The door opened and our eyes met. His eyes felt so familiar. It wasn't like I was looking at a stranger.... even though I was.

Our eyes met and I felt like I was looking into the eyes of heaven but all I saw when I look into her eyes at the same time was Dre. She shyly hid behind her mom and I could see the same nervous look Dre use to have in her. "Baby say Hi." Her mom said. "I'm nervous." She admitted. I knelt down on the ground, "there's nothing to be nervous about. I have something to give you." I told her. She slowly approached me. In my pocket I had a picture of me her and her mother. I handed it to her. She smiled. "This is us?" She asked. I nodded, I so bad just want to embrace her and never let her go but I am a stranger to her....... "can I hug you?" She asked nervous like she was afraid I didn't want to hug her. "I would love that." I told her. She quickly wrapped her arms around me. I hugged her tight. "I missed you so much babygirl." I told her getting emotional. She hugged me tighter, "I miss you too." Her little voice replied. "I don't know who you are but i feel like I do." She said getting upset. "Hey hey, it's okay. We'll get reacquainted. There's a lot of people excited to see you again." I told her, holding her face.

His voice automatically calmed me down. He just felt to familiar. I hugged him again, "I'm glad you are here." I said. "I'm so happy you want me in your life. It's been torture not seeing you, watching you grow, I missed your first birthday and every other one. I missed everything." He said as a tear fell from his eye. I grabbed his face, I whipped his tears. "It's okay daddy. We'll make new memories." I told him smiling. More tears fell. "You called me dad. I never thought I'd hear you say that to me again." He said. "Daddy!" A little voice whined. "Come here bud, meet your sister." My dad Michael said taking the little boy. "I have a little brother?" I asked excited. He nodded. "Mom I'm a big sister!" I exclaimed. She smiled with tears in her eyes. "Do we have the same mom?" I asked Michael. "No. You guys do not." He sighed. "Do you have any other pictures of my mom?" I asked hopeful.
" I've got tons of pictures out in the car. " He told me. "I'll get them michael." Sara said
