Aria's POV

I blinked in disbelief at Henry for the millionth time in the past two minutes.

"So you're saying..." I trailed off as Klaus sat beside me, a huge smile on his face as he gripped my hand.

Henry sighed, a tired look on his face, "your parents officially have no ability to force you back home. This is your visa, they won't be able to do anything to you" he finished.

"What if they come back here and try again?" I asked him, that nervousness still rolling around in me.

He sighed, "I'm going to hell" he muttered before looking back up at Klaus and I, "Katrina had a ... plan to make sure your parents had absolutely no way of getting back to you" he winced.

Henry had told us that around three hours ago, and now Klaus and I sat in a small bland room. We were on one side of the table, and sitting directly in front of us were my disheveled parents.

Their clothes were wrinkled and they looked absolutely tired.

The men who had led them in here had just unhand cuffed them, and it took everything in me to not cackle evilly as I watched them.

Katrina fucking Justice was a genius.

Henry refused to tell us exactly what he had done that had gotten my parents arrested and being detained in this airport until the next flight back home left in two hours.

I love Katrina.

That bitch was a true evil fucking genius, and no matter what anyone said about her, she was my fucking sister.

She never needed me to explicitly spell out what these two individuals sitting in front of me had done, how they had stripped me of my worth and neglected me to a point where I thought no one could physically love me.

Katrina had never needed me to say those words out loud to her, she just knew.

And even though she was probably knee deep in some real shady shit, she took time to think of me.

To help me, to keep my family together.

Klaus sat quietly beside me staring back at my parents.

He was doing a great job of hiding it, but I could practically feel the waves of happiness rolling off of him as well.

I twirled the gorgeous engagement ring that he had given me around my finger as I struggled to keep the smirk off my lips.

My Mother stood glaring back at me, something like defeat shining in her eyes, while my Father sat next to her looking utterly lost and confused.

I was never this combative when it came to them.

Was I a dick?

Sure.

But had I openly done anything to them to truly show how much I couldn't stand them?

Not until now.

And their faces were worth it.

"What do you mean you aren't helping us get released?" my Mother growled pissed over at me.

My twirling hand rested comfortably against my baby bump, "well I would" I smirked, "but that would kind of defeat the purpose of us putting you here, right babe?" I asked looking over at Klaus as he desperately tried not to laugh aloud.

He nodded like he was deep in thought, "I think that would completely defeat the purpose, love" he nodded along.

Their fucking faces were priceless.

They had always, and I mean always, out played me.

Hurt me continuously by not giving a fuck, and finally, finally, my time had come to shine.

If I could shake my ass in their faces I would, but my swollen ankles vetoed the idea immediately.

My Dad sputtered, "Aria, we are your parents!" he cried out in dismay.

I couldn't help but smile then, "my parents happen to be two individuals who are currently causing some type of public chaos right as we speak" hopefully not getting arrested, "surprisingly after all the shit you two buried me under, I still was able to find some people in the world to give a shit about me. Magical isn't it" I smirk over at them.

She snapped.

I knew she would, eventually.

My Mother lurched over the table, till we were nearly eye to eye.

Mother to Daughter.

Our eyes the same sparkling color, the same nose, and the same lips. It was like looking in a mirror.

"I gave birth to you, and I cannot stand you. You honestly believe that he or any of those bat shit crazy people you surround yourself with, give two shits about you?" she hissed in absolute rage, my Father sitting next to her, his eyes wide as if he had never seen her before.

Oh but I'd been looking at this bitch for my entire life.

"You cannot honestly believe that after you have that bastard child that he will stay. You're nothing, Aria, nothing at all, nothing worth having, and nothing worth caring for. He will leave you, they all will. Worthless and stupid" she growled, her face contorted into a pure look of evil as she glared down at me.

That hatred that had always been known but never said aloud, finally out in the air.

And something in me lifted.

I could finally let it go, finally release all that never ending hatred I had held onto, because it was the only emotion I could get from my Mother.

The only kind of emotion I thought I was ever going to receive from anyone.

I could only just stare at her.

Finally realizing that her hatred of me, was never my fault.

The woman just truly was an ugly bitch.

Klaus' chair flew back so hard that it crashed against the wall behind us.

He looked just like Doom in the instant that he gripped the front of my Mother's shirt and brought her face to face with him.

I could only stare open mouthed at the pure fury that rolled off of his face.

I had seen him be serious ... kind of, happy, sad, goofy, childish, annoyed, and hell he even touched angry for a second there, but never had I seen Klaus Dun furious.

Furious for me.

My Mother flailed horribly as Klaus gripped the front of her dirty shirt, and stared her down.

"My wife, the mother of my unborn child, the love of my fucking life, and undoubtedly the smartest fucking woman in any goddamn room that she walks into is the most amazing fucking person I have ever met. She is ten times the woman you will ever be, because not only will she accomplish more than you ever will, but she will also be a million times a better mother than you ever fucking hoped to be" he snarled as he shoved her back into his chair, her face a mask of pure fucking astonishment. He turned to my shocked Father next, "and you, you weak piece of shit, it was your job to protect her from everything and everyone, even if that meant her fucking demon of a mother. Even if I fuck up as a father, which is bound to fucking happen, I know I'll be fucking better than you. Only because I'd die to protect my child from anything this shitty world throws at her, unlike you who sits by and allows that bitch to trample over the most amazing person you have ever fucking met" he growled.

I could only watch, my mouth open as my heart swelled.

The love of my fucking life, people.

Klaus Dun.

He looked ready to go into another tirade, but I quickly grabbed his hand and slowly stood next to him, as he breathed hard over my two shocked parents.

He looked down at me and under that anger I saw his pain.

The pain of not being able to protect me from them, the pain of me being stuck with these two people, and what I had to endure.

I gave him a small smile, as he stood breathing hard, his lean body moving up and down rapidly as he no doubt fought the urge to strangle my parents.

I placed my hand over his cheek, before turning back to my parents. There really wasn't anything else I could even think of saying to these two colossal fuck up.

So I took a page out of Katrina's book.

"Bye bitches" I smiled back at their floored faces as I tugged the fuming Klaus with me.

Walking out of that room was like walking out of the water.

I was lighter, it was easier to move and breathe.

I smiled up at Klaus again, "I really do love you" I shook my head up at him.

He was trying to keep the anger on his face, but eventually he broke, a smile forming on his lips.

"I'll kill them if you want" he smiled as he brushed his hand over my lips.

I chuckled, "I really do love you, now lets get down to the court house, Snake's trail should start soon" I smiled at Klaus as I tugged him along.

He sighed as he threw his arm around me, pulling me in close to his chest, before kissing the top of my head.

"Let's go, before I decide to go back and see how far I can shove your dad's head up your mom's as-"

"-AND we are going" I laughed cutting him off.

He rolled his eyes, a huge smile on his face, "fine, let us go and watch Snake be sentenced to death" he smirked, leading me out of the airport.

I laughed hard, "pretty sure they won't sentence him to death for a car accident".

Klaus pouted, "oh, so just life in prison?" he asked like a little puppy.

This man.

"I think I heard he could get up to a few years, Klaus" I chuckled at him.

"Should be interesting, yes?" Klaus asked leading me to the car.

I shrug, "lets just hope Sash keeps her cool" I sigh.

Lets just hope.
