Tamaki's p.o.v.

   I had just finished my homework, and decided I deserved something sweet, so I decided to go to the Spot.

When I entered they were much busier today, as most tables were full, and as usual Roe's lovely smile was at the counter.

"Why Hello Roe, how are you doing this fine day?", I ask.

"I'm doing alright, my don't you look particularly dashing today.", she says happily

"And how was Ariel this morning?", I ask

which makes her face light up.  "Rambunctious, I already got  a call from my mom complaining that her grandchild is a little disobedient rebel, so I may have to leave work early to get her.", she says as a bit of worry comes and leaves her face rather fast.

"Why's that?", I ask as an old lady exits the back. 

"It's because her mom's a cold woman, always to harsh.  She doesn't even realize what a gem here our Roe is.", the lady says hugging Roe.

"And little Ariel is rambunctious but she's actually the sweetest thing. If I didn't have a business to run I'd have her in an instant"

"Tamaki, this is Ellie my boss and Aunt.", Roe says.  

"Nice to meet you Tamaki. You seem like such a nice boy.", the older woman with light pink hair says.

"Why thank you madam.", I say

"Just call me Ellie, or you'll make me feel old.", the aunt says.

"So what can I get you Tamaki.", Roe asks cocking her head cutely. 

"I was hoping you had some of those macaroons in, but you appear out.", I say looking at the case.

"I think we have a few in the back just out. Roe can you go get them for me.", Ellie says.

"Sure no problem.", she says going in the back.

"Your developing a crush on my niece aren't you Tamaki?", she says as I was watching Roe leave "Your gonna have to win Ariel, to win Roe.

Roe's tried dating before since having Ariel, but usually guys act like Ariel's either a deal breaker or a reason to treat Roe disrespectfully."

"Your very to the point.", I say.

"Yes well, Roe's such a sweet child, it's hard trying to please her parents.  Not that she ever can. Poor thing can't make a mistake, without being reminded constantly. But she love's Ariel, and will do anything for her.   Do you know she takes night classes after Ariel goes to bed just so she can graduate sooner. Poor thing has no social life but chatting up customers, her friends kinda drifted away after she got pregnant with Ariel.", she says " So I'm glad to see such a nice young man showing interest in my niece.  That and Ariel's asked for you since you visited her in the hospital."

The last part making me blush.

Roe returns with a small box of the wrapped macaroons.

"So was that all I can get you?", she says happily.

"Actually I was wondering if we could hang out Sunday?", I say smirking when she blushes.

"Well all my time off is spent with Ariel, and I promised to take her to the beach.", she says.

"If I bring lunch can I accompany you two.", I say pulling out the puppy eyes.

"Oh alright you can come with us.", she says as she rings me up.

When I arrived at her small upstairs apartment she was wearing a blue sundress, when she answered.

"You look so cute Roe", I say as she blushes.

"Your not to bad yourself.", she says recovering, "Ariel, it's time to go.", she says grabbing a large beach bag as in skipped Ariel her hair in pigtails and wearing a Rapunzel swimsuit cover up.

"Tama's here!", the smile child yells happily as she runs to hug me making me smile as I lift her up careful of her still healing arm.

"Why hello little princess, ready for the beach.", I say smiling at the happy girl. 

"Can you help me make a sand castle?", she asks innocently making me melt.

"Of course we can make a castle.", I say happily.

"Yay!", she says hugging me again as my eyes meet Roe's twinkling ones.

Roe's p.o.v.

I watched Ariel's eyes sparkle as she played with me and Tamaki at the beach making sandcastles, and looking for sea shells.

She was eating up all the attention, especially the way he always called her princess, and was doting on her.

When lunch time came,  she was surprised how much food he brought, and goodies as was so we sat to eat,and chat.

When she went by the water after we ate I watched her for a moment with Tamaki. "She's beautiful.", he says watching my daughter adoringly.

"That's my angel.", I say. 

"Roe, can I ask something personal?", he asks as I look at him.

"Sure, ask away.", I say.

"Where's Ariel's father?", he asks.

"She doesn't have one, more like a sperm donor.", I say looking at Tamaki a question in his eyes.

"I went on a date to a party with a boy on my mother's insistence. My drink was drugged, and I woke up out in a cold alley clothes askew and didn't know what to do. Next thing I know I'm pregnant with Ariel. My mom kicked me out as an embarassement, she only talks to me or watches Ariel because she's afraid I'll screw her up.", I say looking at the ground.

I'm startled when I feel myself pulled against Tamaki.  "Your a wonderful mother, and a strong woman.", he says tilting my head up to his sparkling eyes as he wipes a tear away I didn't know was there.

"Mommy, Mommy,", Ariel comes running up and hugs both of us. "Can we keep Tama, he's more fun then gramma.", she says cutely making us both blush.

"Tell ya what how about if you and your mommy aren't busy we can go to Chuckie Cheeses on next Sunday.", he says eliciting happy cheers from Ariel.

"Yay mommy can we?", she says.

"I guess we are.", I answer.

After the day at the beach Tamaki wound up joining in on our Sunday ritual of just being together, and Ariel quickly took a shine to him.

She adored him.

At Chuckie Cheese we all played games together, Tamaki helping her when she was to short by letting her sit in his lap or holding her up.

And everyday at school or the café he'd ask after Ariel, and her well being.  When he went out of town to see his friends for school break,

Ariel had a fit. She wanted him back and instantly. It was kind of cute. And after she got up one night and called him from my cell phone he began to Skype with her and call her each of the days he was gone. I was worried he'd be bothered by the call, but he said it was sweet and brushed it off saying he missed us too.

I ran through the apartment cleaning when my buzzer buzzed and opened it up to my favorite purple eyed princely blond.

"Tamaki!", I say as he hand me the bouquet of white roses.

"Hey Roe, I wanted to drop by cause I was back.", he says as a blur runs through and jumps up into his waiting arms.

"Tama's  back Tama's back.", she shouted as she did as they hugged.

"Well hello my little princess", he says handing her a package which she rips open revealing a teddy bear.

"Thank you Tama.", she says happily hugging him again and kissing his cheek happily as his eyes twinkle as he looks at her with the same adoration.

"I have a wedding to attend in Japan this summer, I was wondering if you two could come with me. ", he asks with puppy eyes.

"But I don't have a passport.", I say.

"It's already taken care of for both of you.", he says.

"Well then I guess the answer if yes, I'd love to come with you to the wedding.", I say as he wraps an arm around me.

"Fantastic, I can't wait for you to meet the Host Club.", he says.

"If I said no you'd just give me your puppy dog face. It's like kryptonite for superman.", I say as he chuckles.
