Sparrow had been a tool in high school. He made fun of everyone he could and played his guitar louder than anyone else could. Yet, it was all just acting out. Just to get his father to notice him. You know maybe get a talking to from his long since absent dad but, noooooo. Mr.Robin Hood was to busy with work.
So as soon as he graduated, Sparrow stopped reaching out and moved away. And when he did something crazy happened. He started to respect himself a bit. Enough to not embrace himself on purpose or being obnoxiously loud just so someone would pay attention to him.
As Duchess Swan had said when the reunited in collage, he had changed for the better. Maybe that's why Raven Charming didn't mind him being in her band so much.
"You know it's kinda odd." Melody pipped said sitting down next to him as people started walking into the reunion party.
"What is?" He asks watching a certain young girl with dark black hair run around giggling her little head off with her friends.
"I never imagined you and duchess having kids together." Melody teased. Sparrow rolled his eyes with a sigh.
"Melody...she's nit my bio daughter."
"I always figured you'd go for Blond or...or......wait what?" Melody asks looking up at him. He sighs sadly.
"When I reunited with Duchess she was married and having twins. She and her husband were so excited. So I just swallowed down anything feelings I ever had towards he and went back to being her best friend. Such good friends that she made me god father of the twins...then well...there was an accident." He mumbled looking away glancing at a young boy who was a spitting image of his mother but with his dads hair. He was chuckling with his friends as well, running over to meet new people when their parents wanted them to.
"Oh...what happened?" Melody asks slowly.
"They went to a dragon game and the dragon go mad at its rider. It set fire to the stands and people panicked. As they were running Duchess husband was trampled to death and someone shoved her off onto the playing field as they ran.....by some miracle the twins survived that whole traumatic event...so I've been raising them for the last 13 years." He sighs watching the kids be happy as can be.
"Oh that's..I didn't know I'm so sorry." Melody sighs reaching up and holding his shoulder. The older man smiled looking at his old friend, showing a few wrinkles on his face as well as a patchy beard starting to form.
"Hey it's fine..bad things happen but, I got two amazing kids out of it..and I know it's probably wrong, but I wouldn't trade them away for anything ever..now what about you Miss Piper? What have you been up to?" He asks. He friend just smiled going on about her life since school ended as more people kept coming in.
Oh this reunion was gonna be fun.
