Eloise at the Wedding: chapter 2

Meanwhile, Darla left the Plaza Hotel after Eloise fell asleep, but she wasn't going back to Paris, she went out to the nearest body of water as it was late at night. She contemplated on whether to call Urchin with the shell she was given at childhood or whether or not to go underwater and surprise Urchin like she did with Eloise in the hotel room. After a long hour of contemplating, Darla knew just what to do as she brought out her shell. She then took a deep breath and blew into the shell that Athena had given her after her first adventure in Atlantica with her new family. She waited for a while until finally, she saw a familiar merman.

Urchin came up to the surface and yawned and stretched. "Phew!"

"Urchin, I think it's time that we officially get married." Darla said.

"Darla, is that you?" Urchin rubbed his eyes, then smiled to her. "It is you!... I thought you were in Paris?"

"I came home early, but, we need to talk," Darla said before she seemed to get extremely emotional. "Listen, Drell from the Netherworld is going to solve our problems about our living conditions and Eloise traveling with Nanny all the time. We're going to both be in our daughter's life some more. And I was hoping too..."

"Darla, what's wrong?" Urchin noticed her tears.

"Well, it's because..." Darla drawled out before sighing softly and letting it out. "I think I might be pregnant."

"R-Really?" Urchin asked, surprised.

"I don't know for sure, but I think I might be..." Darla sat on her knees as she spoke to him.

Urchin hummed as he thought about it. "Who's Drell again?"

"He used to be the Head of the Witches Council until he got a job at Canterlot High where Atticus, Mo, and Cherry went to school." Darla reminded.

"That's right..." Urchin said, then sighed. "Oh, I still remember the first time you let me meet Eloise before you went to Paris and she went to live in New York."

"I remember too..." Darla smiled in memory.

Six Years Ago...

"Atticus... Atticus... Atticus!" Darla called to her big brother as it was late on a school night, but she woke him up.

"What is it, Darla?" Atticus yawned.

"I had an accident..." Darla said.

Atticus sat up and rubbed his eyes. "What do you mean you had an accident?"

"Well, I woke up in my bed and now it's wet..." Darla said. "I don't understand... I didn't have a bad dream or anything."

"Did your water break?" Atticus asked.

"I think..." Darla said. "Is that when you kinda make a mess when the baby's about to come?"

"Yes." Atticus said.

"Oh..." Darla replied.

"MOM! DAD!" Atticus ran out of his room. "DARLA'S WATER JUST BROKE! THE BABY'S COMING!"

This caused for Patrick and Emily to rush out of their room and for Patch to wake up.

"Guys, it's okay, I don't feel that bad." Darla smiled.

"Oh, Darla, you may feel fine now, but it's about to get worse." Emily gently put her hands on her adoptive daughter's shoulders.

"Worse?" Darla asked. "How worse?"

"You're going to feel some pain." Emily said.

"How bad can it be?" Darla shrugged it off.


They were now coming into the hospital with Darla in a wheelchair and she was yelling and screaming in deep pain and agony, feeling horrible contractions and now knew what Emily meant by the pain and it was a lot worse than she thought it would be, but soon, it would all be worth it. Darla kept yelling and screaming which brought back memories of Hollywood when she was a spoiled brat. It seemed like no matter what, Darla was a very ugly person when angered and her wrath seemed unstoppable. Her yelling could be heard from all throughout the hospital.

"Is it ever going to be over?" Patch groaned, covering his ears.

"Don't worry, it'll be over soon." Emily said as she was going to go in the back with Darla to help her through the labor.

"Great." Patch sighed.

"Are you sure you wanna go back there?" Patrick asked.

"It's best I do, besides, I'm her mother now, she really needs me." Emily said before going off in the back to help her adoptive daughter out.

Darla screamed and roared as she squeezed Emily's hand for dear life as the doctors were trying to get the baby out as soon as possible.

"That sounds painful." Atticus winced.

"Believe me, it's hard to say who's in more pain when that time comes..." Patrick winced as he remembered when Emily was having Jessica.

"I'll have to take your word for it, Dad." Atticus said.

"Just wait until you have kids." Patrick chuckled, ruffling up his son's hair.

"I'll wait for that day to come." Atticus said.

"Thatta boy." Patrick chuckled.


A while later...

The doctor came out and smiled to the boys in the Fudo family. "It's a girl."

"Wahoo!" Atticus smiled.

Patrick, Atticus, and Patch came in to meet the newest member of the family.


Darla smiled peacefully as she held a bundle wrapped in a pink blanket close to her, she then looked up to see her adoptive father and adoptive brother. "Atticus... Come meet your niece..."

"She's so adorable." Atticus smiled.

The baby girl scrunched her face up slightly, she had pinkish skin and a tuft of light and creamy blonde hair.

"What's her name?" Patrick asked.

"I've always liked my mother's middle name," Darla replied, referring to her biological mother. "Eloise."

"Eloise sounds like a perfect name, dear." Emily smiled.

"I always thought so." Darla smiled back.

The family smiled to the newest addition to their family.


After a while when Darla was allowed to go home with her new daughter, the teenage girl was making a stop with a shell in her other hand as she held her daughter in her arm.

"Don't worry, Eloise, we're almost there, let's go meet your daddy." Darla cooed to her baby girl.

Baby Eloise smiled and giggled, happy that she would meet her father. Darla smiled back down, then gently blew into the shell to summon her childhood love.

After a moment, Urchin came to the surface and smiled. He hadn't changed much except that his arms seemed stronger and he seemed to had grown a mustache and an incoming beard. "Hey, Goldilocks."

Darla rolled her eyes at the nickname she had earned since they first met. 'Hey, Brown Eyes."

"What's up?" Urchin asked.

"Urchin, I'd like you to meet your daughter." Darla replied calmly.

"M-My wha...?" Urchin's copper eyes widened. He then saw who the baby girl was and had a smile on his face, happy to see he had a daughter. "What's her name...?"

"Eloise." Darla confirmed with a smile.

Baby Eloise cooed and reached up, touching her father's face.

"She's so precious." Urchin smiled.

Darla smiled back proudly to their daughter.

"Are you both going to live in the sea with me?" Urchin asked.

Darla frowned.

"What's wrong?" Urchin frowned when he saw her frown.

"Well, um, the thing is..." Darla sounded uneasy. "I was planning on sending her to nursery school and letting my old nanny in New York City look after her, I got an offer to live in Paris and work into the fashion industry."

"What?!" Urchin asked, shocked.

"I'm sorry, Urchin, but a man came to the hotel when I was with Amber and he offered to let me work with him in Paris." Darla explained.

"Oh..." Urchin frowned.

"Now, Urchin, it's nothing personal, I just think this would be best for--" Darla tried to explain.

"No, it's okay..." Urchin felt heartbroken. "I guess I'll just see you when I see you."

"Yeah....." Darla frowned.

Baby Eloise seemed to frown slightly.

"Could I hold her?" Urchin offered.

"Sure..." Darla handed their baby over to him.

Baby Eloise smiled up at her father.

Urchin smiled back down. "She has your eyes."

Darla smiled. "Yes, Emily thinks she looks so much like me, but she has your nose."

"And she's right." Urchin smiled.

Darla smiled back. Baby Eloise gave a small newborn smile to her father. Finding himself unable to resist the smile, Urchin smiled back at his newborn daughter. Baby Eloise reached up to her father's mustache and started to tug on it.

"Ow!" Urchin yelped in pain. "Okay, that's enough now."

Baby Eloise giggled rather mischievously and continued to pull on it.

"She's definitely our daughter." Urchin laughed.

"She has your sense of humor..." Darla smiled nervously at Eloise's behavior.

"Yes, yes, she does." Urchin smiled.

Eloise kept giggling.

"Ellie, stop..." Darla gently took their daughter back.

Baby Eloise giggled and clapped her tiny hands together.

"She is going to be a handful." Urchin chuckled.

"I just hope my nanny takes very good care of her." Darla smiled.

"I'm sure she will." Urchin smiled.

Darla smiled back.

End of Flashback


"But I live in the sea and you live in Paris, how will we get married and raise our daughter?" Urchin asked.

"Don't worry," Darla promised. "Drell promised to help us so we can all live happily ever after."

"Cool." Urchin smiled.

"You sound like a little kid." Darla teased.

"So do you." Urchin retorted.

Darla stuck her tongue out at him.

"Now you're acting like one." Urchin smirked.

"Aw, grow up." Darla scoffed.

Urchin laughed, then yawned a little.

"We'll talk about this later," Darla stood up. "Just be ready for the biggest wedding of this or any other century!"

"Okay." Urchin smiled.

Darla smiled as she got up to go. "Good night, Urchin."

Urchin yawned and nodded. "Night, Darla." he said before going back under the sea.

Darla then went back over to the hotel. Their wedding day would be the day that would have a happy ending for the three of them.
