New chapter woop x

Things were still awkward when Ashton and I skyped every few days. It was a stupid mistake and I jumped to conclusions as always, I just didn't want him to leave again, I know it sounds needy but I can't help it. We skyped for Darcey's sake and tried to resolve things between us but it wasn't easy when you had a 2 year old child with you and you were both in different countries. One time when Ashton and I were skyping just after Darcey had gone to bed, he proposed the most random suggestion ever.

"How about you fly over here? Bring Darcey with you?"

"Well incase you forgot I have uni."

"You break up soon though don't you?" I nodded.

"I have a week left."

"Well come over then! I'll pay for your tickets, you could also come and see your family, I'm sure they want to see how much Darcey has grown, and well my mum would love to meet Darcey as well."

"Stop using your family to bribe me to come over. I don't know Ashton."

"We can resolve things because we'll be together."

"Fine."

It would just be so gr- wait what did you say?" I giggled.

"I said fine. But only for a couple of weeks, I have to be back for uni."

"OH MY GOD SAM! That's no problem, I can't believe you're coming!" I rolled my eyes. "First class ok?" I nodded.

"You don't have to do that! What type of weather is it over there?"

"Yes I want to do it and it's hot."

"Well go on then." Ashton squealed at the end of the other video call and I couldn't help but smile.

I was going home.

~~~~

The week had passed. I had taken all my assignments in and finished them all then I packed Darcey's stuff before doing my own. We both said goodbye to Darcey and headed off to the airport for the long flight ahead. At least it was going to be comfortable.

~~

We arrived at Sydney airport in the early morning, Darcey was asleep so I didn't bother to wake her and once I collected my bags, I searched the crowd for Ashton who had come to pick me up. I couldn't see him at first. I sat down on a seat and got out my phone. I didn't have any messages. "Sam?" I looked up and was greeted by his big hazel eyes and his massive smile. I couldn't help myself, I got up and wrapped my arms around his neck, giving him a tight hug. "I'm so glad you're here."

"I'm glad too." I mumbled into his chest. Ashton took my bags whilst I took Darcey and we walked out to the car. Because Ashton had already done most of the shows and interviews around the country and only had Sydney left, he was taking me home to surprise my parents and hopefully they would let me stay with them. Ashton and the others were all staying at their homes in the town so we were all going to be close to each other which was good.

Once we got to my house, I ran up to the door with Darcey in my arms whilst Ashton got the bags out the car. I knocked on the door and saw someone small coming to get it. My mum. She opened it and her eyes went wide and so did her smile. "Hi." Was all I could squeeze out. She pulled me into a bone-crushing hug which made Darcey stir.

"I'm so glad you're here, we haven't seen you in person in what like a year? We came over last year sometime didn't we?" I nodded. "It's so good to see you! And look at you little girl, you're growing so fast!" Darcey weakly smiled.

"She's only just woken up."

"Of course. Come in. Dad's in the lounge." Her gaze fell onto someone behind me. "Ashton, what are you doing here?"

"Uh well, we kinda met early this year and then he found out Darcey was still alive and then we got to know each other and now we're...a couple."

"Well it was about time." She winked at me. "Come in too Ashton. Take her bags up to her room. You know where it is. Hasn't changed." I walked into the lounge to see my dad sat watching telly, completely oblivious to the fact that I was stood behind him.

"Dad." He didn't hear me. "DAD." He jumped up from his seat and turned around.

"What who where- Sam?" I smiled. "It's so good to see you." He pulled me into a hug. "Ah is this the little one?"

"Yes it is."

"Mummy who's this?"

"This is my mummy and daddy, you're granny and grandpa."

"YAY!" She lunged forward to my dad who grabbed her and took her from me.

"She's a loud one isn't she?" He tickled her stomach, then his face dropped when he saw someone come into the room behind me. Ashton. "Why's he here?"

"Dad, Ashton came over with his band to the UK and we saw each other. At first I didn't want to speak with him but the problem was; he saw Darcey. So I knew that for our daughters sake they had to meet and they did. And then we began reliving the old memories and now we're kind of back together."

"Kind of or are?"

"Are."

"Ha!"

"Dad please. He's changed."

"He's the same boy that ditched my daughters side years ago."

"Exactly dad, he was a boy. Now that he's older, he's kind of a man."

"Kind of?" Ashton spoke up from behind me.

"Well you're still childish." Ashton nodded agreeing with my response before giggling and then stepping forward.

"Sir I assure you that I will not leave these two again. I didn't even know if Darcey was alive but when I saw Sam with the pram in the park, I was relieved that she wasn't dead."

"Well don't think you've got off lightly. I've got my eye on you, I swear to god if you hurt her again I will cu-"

"OK!" My mum shouted. "Careful. There's young ears here. Right shall we go get you settled in?" I nodded.

"I think this one needs her sleep." Ashton replied.

"Yeah she does." I agreed.

"I meant you."

"Oh. Well yeah I could do with a nap I suppose." So Ashton took Darcey and after my mother tucked me in; yeah I know; she went downstairs and joined the rest of them.

~~~~

I was reunited with the boys the next morning. They were busy fussing over Darcey so I could have a rest. I heard Ashton shout from the kitchen. "HAVE YOU GOT ANY VEGEMITE?" I rolled my eyes.

"YOU KNOW I HATE THAT STUFF, IT'S BANNED FROM THE HOUSE." Ashton returned from the kitchen pouting.

"But I like it.

"Tough." I couldn't help but giggled when I saw Darcey drag Ash over to the rest of the boys who were having a tea party wearing princess crowns and tutus. "So what else have you got planned for today?" I asked Ash.

"Well, once the boys leave in about 10 minutes, I was thinking you could come to mine? And we could have lunch with my family?" My face dropped. I didn't know if I was ready to meet his family yet. But it didn't look like I had a choice.

"Ok cool." I hadn't seen Anne in a few years so I had no idea what her reaction was going to be.

~~

Once the boys had left, Ashton and I packed up all the things Darcey needed and then made our way over to his house in the car. When we got there, Ashton took all the bags and I made my way up the steps behind him, Darcey in my arms. As he knocked on the door; he forgot his key; I heard someone run from upstairs and then as the door slowly opened, I wasn't ready for what happened next.
