A little Sparkling Blaze

Aria's POV

I can't believe it's already been six months since I've got pregnant with the twins.We decided to name the girls Tree and Paper they have both been doing good. Sunset is worried that something could be wrong. I think she's worrying about nothing but I'll still go in for her to check them. Me and Dash are getting Sparkling ready for School before we go to the doctor.

We get Sparkling to school.Then we get to the doctor.Sunset was specialized in other areas but studied some more to be in this one too ever since Dagi's first pregnancy,she knew siren pregnancies would need an equestrian doctor.

She did all the prenatal tests.Then did her worried face and went checking on them.

"Aria,Dash take a seat."She sighed.

We both took a seat already knowing something was wrong,I was scared of what,Aunt Silver Song didn't held back on the curse,so anything could be wrong.
Dash took my hand and held it tight.

"Paper is ok.Tree however everything indicates by the exams I'm almost certain will have autism."

"Autism,how bad?"

"That's the thing I don't know yet. So I don't want to tell you for sure."

"Sunset we can handle it. How bad is she going to get?"

"Bad. Have you seem anything new with Sparkling?"

"Well I guess you have a point."

Dash took the lead on the conversation,I didn't know what to say,I was in shock,I hated my aunt,I hated my aunt so much.

I guess the pregnancy's hormonies kicked in because I felt tears rolling down my cheek and I felt like punching something,anything.

"Ari?You crying?"I heard Dash say surprised.

"No! I-I'm not!" I shout at her trying to hide my tears.

Dashie hugged me tight. "Ari..."

"I hate her." I said somehow managing not to cry.

"Who?" I could hear the worry in Dashie's voice.

"My aunt, it's all her fault. Why do our kids have to suffer? They didn't do anything to her."Then I can manage to hold it anymore and just break down.

I can see Dash looking at Sunset like if she was asking if she knew what I meant by that.She shook her head no,Adagio must have not told her and Winter for the same reason I haven't told Dash.Once a family was now related to the siren's they were cursed too.

"What you mean Ari?"I fell Dash ask passing the hand on my hair.

"Adagio can explain better,she knows every detail."I tell her.

"Okay so why don't we take a walk to your sister's house and we can talk more about Sunset discovered about Tree in our walk."She then pulled herself out of the hug,kissed me,cleaned up my tears and smiled at me.

I smile back at her.

"Alright." I look over at Sunset.

"You can go, I just want to keep an eye on you. We don't know how bad this is yet."

"Alright I'll be careful."

"I'll keep her out of trouble." Dash told Sunset. Then the two of us left and started the walk to Adagio's house.

On the way we cut through the park and took a moment to think about what Sunset had told us.

Autism I still can't believe it.

"Do you think she'll get too bad?"I ask Dash.

"I don't think so but even if she is nothing we can't handle."

"But what if she's non-verbal,that's a death setence for a siren and probably for a half-siren too."

"We can't think like that. Besides you don't know for sure she'll be non-verbal."

" I know but we have to be ready for it."Before was can talk more we get to Adagio and Winter's house. and I knocked.

"Hey girls." Adagio says as she answers the door. She can tell something is wrong by the look I have on my face. "What's wrong?"

I told her all about Tree.

"Calm down,by my visions she's gonna be ok just need a lot of help."

"I metioned aunt Silver to Dash."

Her face went serious."I'll explain everything."

"Who is she?" Dash asked her.

"She's our aunt. Our mom and her both like my dad. And well...we have a half sister. And dad left her to be with mom and us."

"I didn't know any of that."

"That's not all. Our aunt cursed us. And because she used our sister it can do anything to us."

"Used your sister?"

"If the curse ends our half-sister dies,it cost our half-sister's whole health for that curse.I don't think she meant to do that to her own daughter,but there's not how to be sure.All I know is aunt Silver Song doesn't pull any strings.That's why Sonata is the way she is and why a bunch of bad things happen to us or anyone related to us.Including people that married into the family."

"Why your aunt have acess to all this things?"

"Because she's the queen of the sirens."

"Wait that means?"

"Yeah me,Aria and Sonata were supposed to be royalty in Seaquestria if this didn't happen specifically duchesses."

Dash was dumbfounded,I think she was trying to even imagine me as royalty.

"You can't imagine me as royalty,can you Dashie?"I ask her.

"I can see it. A long flowing dress. Your hair all done up with ribbons and flowers." Dash was doing her best not to laugh.

"Not all princesses are like that."

"Are you sure? I've met princess Twilight. She seems just like that."

"I'm not a pony. And I'd still be me. It's Sonata that always wanted to be a princess. I just want to be able to go home. Or at least I did. Now I don't know anymore."I think a bit."I don't remember it very well..."

"Well that's normal,you were very little when left Seaquestria,I think you have more memories of us in Equestria and I don't think Sonata remembers Seaquestria at all."Adagio told me."But I think Dash's prediction of how you would be as royalty is spot everytime mom and dad made me assume my pony form I was wearing long dresses and they had to do my hair like that...It was a nightmare with how my hair is.Also it was pretty spot on with the clothes and hairstyles the portal first gave us."

"Really?"Dash asked.

Adagio was waiting for that question.

"Don't you dare!I'll show her your pictures too."

"Eh I don't care.You were always the one who felt more embarrassed about the photo album."She then got out an very old book.It got all the photos from when we arrived here up until now,her's and Sonata's old kids photos too,all of the families we made part of photos.So it was enormous.

Adagio got it and it wasn't with dust.She must have showed Winter or the girls,or Sonata might have requested to show it to Flash and Sophia.

She then opened in one of the first pictures,us three having just arrived,the first time we learned what a camera could do.Sonata was very excited to take a photo,and begged so us three were in it.

Then upon looking at it I remember the portal recognized us as siren royalty and because it was the old times gave us some clothes I hated and my hairstyle instead of pigtails,Adagio liked to put it in braids.In the photo Sonata was 6,I was 7,Adagio was 12.

That's also the time we discovered Adagio had bad eyesight,now she wore lenses,but back then glasses.

Sonata had her hair up in a bun,and Adagio's hair was loose.Back then we all were prohibited from wearing pants so all of us were wearing dresses,Adagio's a bit longer than mine's and Sonata's.

I was scowling in the picture I didn't wanna take it,Adagio had a small smile to not show Sonata she thought this was a waste of time and I was scowling because I didn't want to take the picture.

But upon seeing the picture I realized just how alike me and Sparkling look,if you replaced my straight hair with curly hair you could see her in the photo.

"That really you three?" Dash asked not believing it at first. "You were adorable like that."

"No I wasn't. I don't do pretty and I don't do adorable." I say getting flustered. I need to change this subject. "I knew Sparkling looked a lot like me but I didn't realize how much till now."

"You're right if she straightens her hair she'd look just like you."

"Maybe we should do that sometime..."I say but notice that Dash is still going through the photo album.

"Hey Ari I've noticed something. There's not as many pictures of you as there are of Adagio and Sonata."

"I just haven't found anyone I like..." I tell Dash.

"Tell her the truth Aria." Adagio cuts in.

I sighed. "I swore I'd never fall in love again, but I have.I fell in love exactly 200 years later from Harriet...and what do you know the person I fell in love with is related to her and who I'm married to now."

Dash put the album down for a moment and went and gave me a kiss."Tho I noticed a lot of the pictures you are in are with kids,Adagio's and Sonata's I suppose.But specifically with this 4."she says pointing to a picture Dagi took off guard when I was taking care of Sonata's kids,I was helping Bessie and Beatrice in their homework,had Florence on my lap because she was feeling bad and was watching Flora so she didn't hurt herself running.

"That's Sonata's kids only 2 of them are still alive.But yeah me and Dagi raised them more than her she was really bad at that time,I promised to help her and I needed a distraction.One of them died right before we left and had the battle with you girls."

"What happened?"

"The reason I'm scared Sparkling ever gets pregnant.Beatrice's human side couldn't take a siren pregnancy...She and the baby died.It wasn't long before we received an call from the other girls saying her twin started showing signs of bad dementia and eventually died too."That's when I remember the girls don't know the new kids.I turn to Dagi."We really need to take our kids to meet them for them to know they have family out of the city."

"You're right we need to. Did Sunset say you're good enough to travel?" Adagio asked me.

"Well she didn't say I can't travel."

"But she wants to keep an eye on you."Dash cuts in.

"So we should wait."

"No I'm good enough to go."

"Are you good enough to stay and help the girls if they need it?"

"I would..."

"We'll go after you have the twins. They need to meet them too."

I sighed."Alright."

Me and Dash then went home,we spent the whole day out,Sparkling was already home,had her dinner and went to bed.
Me and Dash sat down had dinner just us two,like the old times we then went to bed and snuggled to sleep.
