17 Years After Cirron's Fall

Katrins'a POV

My foot taps endlessly against the tiled floor, anxiousness running through my body, as well as anger.

This seriously was not the day for this shit.

Blue and I's company was going through a huge deal and I had a shit ton of paperwork to get through, that and Blue and I had recently came across some shocking news.

Lia had resurfaced.

My ex-best friend who needed a psych evaluation had suddenly popped up on our radar, the girl I hadn't thought twice about in 18 years, was suddenly back.

That and her name was popping up in association with this dangerous organization of Supers called the Crusade.

A group that had so kindly tried to murder me and my family a few times over the years.

Her name face had shown up in some pictures that we had acquired of where the group was and where they were located.

They were the largest group that Blue and I would have to go up against. Smaller ones had tried taking us on through the years and one by one Blue and I had gone in and shut them all down.

It was the only way to keep our family safe.

So, again, I really didn't have time for this.

I looked down at my watch for the millionth time, a deep sigh rolling past my lips.

Everything was just spiraling right now, and I just couldn't keep up.

Belen was getting antsy, her mind set on leaving home soon, once she turned 16. Bastiaan was actively trying to give me heart attacks with his antics, Bane had all but announced that he wanted to be a hero instead of a villain, nearly giving my husband a heart attack, and then there was Blake.

Still so angry.

Still so mean.

And still, desperately wanted to be normal.

It was a problem all of its own, Blue and I had trained her, prepared her for the life she was going to have, but we had also sheltered her.

Unlike the others, she didn't see the men that set our houses on fire. She only saw Blue and I putting her and her siblings in danger.

Where our other kids saw us leaving for a few days at a time to stop groups from coming to murder us all, she saw her parents ditching their kids to go on vacation.

She resented us, and it hurt.

But Blue had said that it was okay, that we could take it.

He was fine having her hate us if he knew that in the long run she'd be safer for it.

Which is why he had commanded our other three kids not to tell her anything, to allow her to think that we were terrible, to not be burdened with the knowledge that every last one of us knew we'd have to put her first.

She'd be burdened with the weight of who she was eventually, she didn't need it now.

And although it frustrated Bastiaan and Bane, it infuriated Belen.

Belen hated the way that Blake acted and spoke towards us, especially since Belen knew what we had gone through to keep her safe, to keep them all safe.

I sighed again, turning quickly at the sound of the entrance doors swinging open.

And there he was.

Dressed impeccable, a nice suit drawn easily over his muscled body, his face pulled into that sexy smile that still took my breath away, and his eyes alight with mischief.

"A school Katty? We've done it here before, if I remember correctly you kicked me in the face afterwards" he tutted, his eyed dragging down my body that was clad in a tight grey work dress, that came down to my calf, finished with a pair of high black heels.

I tried not to laugh in his face.

He was going to be so pissed.

He pulled a bouquet of beautiful pink flowers from behind his back, bringing them in front of me, as he tried to lean in for a kiss.

My lips quivered as I looked over at him.

He was going to be pissed.

"Papa, Mana, its time" Belen sighed from behind us.

Blue's face scrunched up confused, before he looked past me down to our 15 year old daughter.

Belen sniffed, disgusted "did you just say that you've had sex in a school?" she cried out disgusted.

My lips were quivering so hard.

"No we did not" I reply back to her, still staring at my confused husband.

"Oral sex is still sex Katty" he tutted back.

"And I'm officially scarred forever" Belen stated.

I brought my hand up to hide my smile, as Blue glared down at me, "why are we at our children's school? Its sex day. Why are we here?" he asked annoyed.

Belen sounded like she had choked.

"You didn't recognize your children's own school?" I asked him.

He narrowed his eyes down at me, "of course I did, I just thought they wouldn't be here, or any one else. Its sex day! I thought we were doing it in a classroom" he pouted.

Belen choked again, "can we stop saying sex day!" she cried.

Blue looked past me again to her, "how do you think you got here?" he snapped back.

She sighed, "well sorry for the boner killer, but Principle McKray is waiting for us in his office, and he's pissed enough. Are you two coming?" she sighed.

I quickly grabbed Blue's hand as he stood there shocked, looking like he'd just been struck in the face, before I started him dragging him back towards the Principle's office, "did she just say the word boner?" Blue choked looking sick, "Kat what the fuck does she know about boners?" he snapped, as Belen lead us back towards the office.

"Can we get this over with? Then you can ask why your daughter's sex life" I sighed dragging him behind me.

He choked on his own life, "what fucking sex life?" he screeched, his voice getting higher as we walked into the Principle's office.

Quite the scene.

Bane and Bastiaan sat on one side of the room next to each other, then there were two empty seats, before Belen and Blake sat in the other two seats.

"What the fuck?" Blue sighed defeated as he and I surveyed the room.

I blinked in shock, "why are you two here?" I hissed looking at Bane and Blake.

Both of them were still attending the Academy, unlike their other two siblings who only attended on the weekends, before coming back to this regular school.

Blake glared at the Principle, while Bane let his head drop in shame.

"Please, Mr. and Mrs. Dun, I would like for all of us to get to the bottom of this incident" the Principle snapped, his balding head and white hair contrasting his head furious face.

Blue and I slowly sat down into our seats.

"Why are we here?" Blue snapped, looking at the Principle.

Great.

This should go great.

The Principle looked slightly taken aback, "w-well, your children were involved in a fight today" he finished.

I glared all four of them down, "and how did that happen?"

The Principle looked over at Bastiaan, "well your son was drawing me a picture of what happened" he snorted.

My son sent us all a bright but nervous smile, "well, its great story. Lots of lessons learned, a story of honor, pride, but also humility. All great things that make a story like this one live through the ages, fight the strength of time, and live on forever ..." Bastiaan drawled looking around the room.

If he wasn't so cute I would have killed him a long time ago.

Belen was snorting into her sleeve.

Blue gave his eldest son a patronizing smile, "much like the one about a young man name Bastiaan who was brutally murdered in a school parking lot by his own Father?" Blue mocked gasped.

Bast paused, his mouth open as he looked at his furious father, "ha-ha you're so inventive Papa" he smiled, as Blue's face went deadly still.

"One of you has three seconds to tell the story, before you start loosing siblings" Blue gritted out.

Belen sighed, "okay! We had made plans to sneak off campus for lunch and go out, just to spend time together. Blake and Bane came to pick us up. I was at my locker with Blake and the basketball team felt the need to express some of their thoughts to us, which escalated quickly, and a few kids got hurt, thats what happened" Belen nodded, as she sat back in her chair.

"Few kids? The whole JV and Varsity team is in the infirmary!" the Principle snapped over at Belen who glared back at him.

"Maybe next time that'll teach them not to touch things that don't belong to them" Bastiaan snorted, a furious look crossing his face, making him look like his Father.

All the kids went silent at the same time.

The Principle opened his mouth, but I cut him off, "what does that mean, Bast? What did they touch?" I asked looking at him and Bane.

"Your children dislocated ten shoulders, and broke 15 noses" the Principle cut in, looking angry.

But my eyes were on my furious son's faces, even Bane looked pissed.

"Not to mention Belen has made five of her teachers cry this month. Then with two of your kids not even being students here, we could press charges-"

"Shut up" Blue deadpanned at the Principle, causing him to stutter to a stop. "Your Mother ask you a question, Bastiaan" Blue cut to his eldest.

"Its over now, do we really have to talk about it?" Bast snapped still looking down at the ground.

Blue gripped Bastiaan's chin, looking him dead in the eye, "yes, you do. I'm missing out on important time with your mother for this. So if theres a reason you took out a whole basketball team, I would like to know" Blue sighed, before turning back to Blake, "or would you like to tell me? You both lead, you know that. Why did you have your younger siblings fighting in the halls?" he asked.

No one spoke.

Blake looked away back towards the wall.

"This type of violence usually shows problems at home, is there something going on at home?" the Principle asked, looking Blue and I down.

"They'd actually have to be there to know" Blake spat drily.

Blue tensed in his seat, his hands gripping the side of the chair tightly.

Belen scoffed over at her sister, "can you just shut the fuck up. It's your fault we are here anyway" she snarled over at Blake.

"Belen, enough", Bastiaan growled at his younger sister.

Here. We. Go.

"No! This is fucking ridiculous, had she handled it, none of us would have had to step in, but she just has to always play the fucking victim in every situation!" Belen growled, glaring at her older sister.

And I feel a headache coming on.

"This shit show is a poster example for condoms" Blue muttered down into my ear, making my lips tug into a smile.

"But I thought they were so cute?" I mocked him.

"It started going down hill fast when they started to speak" he sighed, leaning back into his chair, his hand coming down to mine, as he intertwined our fingers, completely ignoring our children who were snapping at one another.

I chuckled, "I love you" I muttered, "even though your children are trying to kill me".

"My children?! Oh no, they are all yours. This chaos comes from your side, not me" he snorted.

He wasn't wrong.

"Oh I'm sorry! Should I have smashed the assholes face in for touching my ass?!" Blake growled down at Belen.

Belen blinked, before looking around the room in shock, before finally looking back at her sister, "duh, you moron" she choked.

Blue went rigid.

Here we really go.

"Maybe if you had put the dog down instead of trying to 'talk' then I wouldn't have had to dislocate his fucking arm, and then Bastiaan wouldn't have gone nuts, and started throwing punches, which led to the whole out brawl. Are you stupid are do you not realize that because you refuse to stand up for yourself like a weak ass we all had to" Belen screamed.

"I didn't ask you three to do shit for me!" Blake growled back.

Bane sighed, "can we stop yelling?"

"NO! Thats what a fucking team does, but oh wait, I forgot, you're little Blake, who can't do much more than fucking complain and cry about your shitty circumstances, must be so hard to be the eldest of a fucking millionaires who surprising actually give a shit about you" Belen went hard.

"She's so like you" I sigh looking over at Blue who was glaring at the Principle.

"Stop deluding yourself, they're never even around" Blake snapped back down at Belen, "how about you stop making excuses for their shitty behavior and wake up. You wanting to fight a group of twenty boys shows that there is something wrong with you and them!"

"Damn, they're both just like you" I scoffed looking at Belen and Blake.

Bane sighed leaning back in his seat, "you really should have just let us go" he looked at the Principle who was sitting back baffled.

"Enough" Blue growled, the whole room going dead silent as they turned to look at him.

I just shook my head at the Principle, who was slowly going pale, watching my husbands livid face.

"You pathetic beetle of a man. What the fuck do you have going on around here. You call me here, put my children in this room and hold them fucking hostage as punishment for a fight they didn't even start? My daughter was physically assaulted and you're here spitting about your team of bitches in the infirmary? Have you fucking lost your mind? I have too much shit to do to be in this small ass room, with you strange looking face, listening to you accuse my children of assault when they were defending themselves and each other. I should burn this shitty little school to the ground. We are leaving, if you call any of these idiots in here one more time, I'll drop a fucking wrecking ball on this school, you understand me?" Blue growled leaning all the way over towards the Principle who was staring at him shocked, his mouth open and fear in his eyes.

There was silence in the room, before Blue stood up slowly, glared one last time at the Principle, and then turned and walked out.

Blake, Belen, Bast, and Bane, rose all as one, before quickly following Blue out the room.

Leaving me and the Principle.

He leaned back into his seat shocked, "they're a lot aren't they" I tutted as I looked dead at his shocked face.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead, "I don't even know what just happened" he mumbled.

I winced, "its a kick to the system, trust me, I know. I actually wanted to talk to you about Belen, she said something about graduating early" I sigh, looking over at the man.

He nods slowly, "yes, she's very bright, she'll be done by the end of the semester. She's just very ..."

"Agressive, angry, controlling, volatile, yes I know" I smiled over at him, "and how is Bastiaan doing?" I questioned.

His eye brows furrowed, "he's doing okay with all his classes".

"I mean socially, for both of them actually" I cut him off.

The man sighed, "Belen is a natural born ... conqueror, she take control of people very quickly, its very scary to watch. Your son on the other had is very sociable, lots of friends, gets in trouble a lot in his classes though, behavioral issues. They both seem to have a problem with authority" he sighed, looking drained.

I slowly stand with a smile, they'd be okay.

"Well, it was ... we saw each other. One last thing, if I find out that those boys don't get just punishments, you won't have to worry about my husband, because I am much crazier than he is" I smile brightly before turning and walking out of the office, where I find my family still bickering.

Blue has Bastiaan in a head lock, even though Bastiaan is steadily screaming, 'Tap. I tap', while Blake and Belen are punching one another in the boob.

Bane stands off to the side watching the whole show, his phone in hand as he videotapes this mess.

I walk up beside him, sighing at the sight, "why are you the only normal one I have?" I sigh, wrapping my arm around my tall son who is a good foot taller than me, his face structured just like his fathers, with his hair cut short.

He threw his arm around me, tucking me in as he continued to videotape, "Oh Mana, perk up, if it makes you feel any better, I'm the whole who shoved Bast into Papa, which is why he has him in a headlock" he smirked down at me.

I shoved him away, with a roll of the eyes, and walked towards my monstrous family, "come now you ingrates we have to get home, everyone is coming in less than two hours, and we have shit to get done" I snapped causing some of the fighting to stop.

Blue was still holding his son who was turning purple in the face, "save .. me Mana" Bast cried his arms stretched out towards me.

"Blue" I sighed, while he rolled his eyes as me, and released his son, who immediately ran to me throwing his arms around me.

"He tried to kill me Mana! Did you see it!" he cried holding me to his broad chest.

"Get off your Mother" Blue snapped before shoving Bast off of me, then tugging me into his own chest, "she loves me more than any of you, anyway".

"Get the fuck off, you psycho" I snap shoving Blue off of me, as he smirked down at me. "Come on we have to get to the house, it's Aunt Ari's birthday" I smiled.

We all started to move towards the parking lot, Blue tucking Belen under his arm as he pulled the details about the fight from her giddy expression, and Bane and Bast throwing mock jabs at one another.

I fell back to walk with Blake, her head down towards the ground as she dragged her feet.

I sighed as we walked outside, "come ride with me" I pull her along as everyone else jumps into their own cars.

We slide into my truck and quickly start to follow behind Blue as we head back towards the house.

We sit in silence, before I look over at her, "I'm sorry Blake" I sigh, looking back towards the road as she turns to look over at me.

She scoffs, anger clear in her voice, "sorry for what? For not giving a shit, or sorry that you let your husband beat the shit out of me every morning 5:30 on the dot, since I was 3?" she growled back before turning and facing the window.

I remember. I remember the day before he started training her.

Where a shooter had gotten into the house, where I had jumped in front of her to stop the button from hitting her in the back, how I had clutched her to my chest to hide away the site of Blue snapping the shooters neck in our back yard.

I remember watched Bastiaan stare down at me as I bled on the floor, confusion and fear on his face.

And everyday since Blue had started to train our kids.

They needed to know how to survive.

It just simply was an option.

"Your Father and I want to protect you, Blake, we want to protect all of you. There are people in the world who ... who weren't happy about your Father and I being together, having you four kids. They'd do anything to get rid of any of us, okay? So all the shit we do, it isn't to hurt you its to help" I finished trying to blink back the tears.

Trying to forget Blue's face when he'd walk back inside the house after her training, having to leave her outside on the grass where she was still struggling to get up.

How broken he looked.

Because we did this to them, we brought them into a world that we had to show them how to survive, and it fucking sucks.

"Sure" she scoffs.

I swallowed the urge to scream at her, "listen. I get you're hurt, that you think your Dad and I don't care about you. But we do, we love you very very much, we love all of you, we'd die for any of you, Blake. Your Father ... you four are the greatest things he's ever seen, and you may think that your shit talking doesn't hurt anyone, but it does. It hurts him a lot" I say as I pull the truck in behind Blue's as we park in front of our house, "so look at me" I snap over at her, her head slowly turning to stare at me, "the next time you feel the need to express your hatred for us, especially your Father, don't. You don't know everything, even though you think you do, and for you to say some reckless shit like that man who would carve out his own heart for you, doesn't give a shit about you is stupid, Blake-Katya, and I don't want to hear it again, do you understand?" I finished looking at her hard.

She stared back at me, her eyes hard even though I could see the hurt swimming in her eyes.

The same hurt that swims in Blue's eyes when she talk to him.

She nods slowly, her jaw tight, "I'm sorry".

"No, you're uninformed. He's been protecting you before you even took your first breath into this world" I finished looking at her hard.

She nodded slowly, before opening the door and stepping out the car.

I watch her walk up to Blue and wrap her arms around him tightly.

I knew she was just hurt, feeling confused and unloved, but she just didn't know. The others did which is why they didn't act out like her ... well act out as badly as her.

I knew Belen held resentment and the others probably did too, but Blue and I had decided to keep her in the dark.

She should be worry free for as long as possible before she had to deal with all the bullshit.

I sighed before stepping out of the car, my lips curving into a smile as Blue held Blake to his chest tightly, his lips pressed into the crown of her curly head.

That day he had first held her in the hospital had shifted something in him and I knew he was forever going to have a huge weakness.

Us.

Something that frightened him, but it had made him into such a strong man.

Blake pulled away slightly, before turning and following her siblings into the house.

I walked up to Blue, his hand on his chest as he glared down at my smile, "what did you say to her?"

I shrugged, "nothing" I laughed, "why do you look like you were attacked?"

He glared even harder, "because I was. My heart is doing that fucking thing were it squeezes itself tightly, and my eyes feel like someone shoved hot coals in them ... you think I need to go to the hospital?"

I barked a laugh at that one, my hand coming up to rest on his chest, "I think thats just love".

"Fuck me. Again?! I'm over this fucking feeling ... you know she hasn't hugged me in years" he sighed, "I'm such a fucking bitch now, just shoot me in the face" he mumbled looking distraught.

"I like you like this" I beamed up into his pouty face.

"Only because I let you steam roll me, now" he rolled his eyes.

I snorted, "I have never seen anyone steam roll Blue Doom".

"You created four of them".

"You just had one of them in a head lock" I rolled my eyes.

"I was pressing my love into his windpipe, he just didn't know it" he smirked down at me, before sighing, "pretty fucking incredible life you've given me, Katty. I mean who the fuck would have thought we'd make it to 18 years of marriage?" he snorted.

I laughed, "I don't know if it counts, remember we broke up there for a second".

He rolled his eyes, "you got dramatic for a week, and tried to set our marriage license on fire, I don't think that counts as a full divorce" he snorted.

Not a second later, Pony dropped from the sky just as a truck appeared.

I smiled brightly pushing away my husband to run to Pony, before engulfing him in a huge hug, "where in the hell have you been young man? I haven't seen you in months!" I screamed up at him, as his handsome face split into that smile.

He rolled his eyes, "I saw you last week Ma, remember, when you broke into my home and cooked me a meal? Again" he snorted.

My head was suddenly shoved sideways, sending my ass stumbling two feet.

I turned to stare at Blue pulling Pony into his chest with a huge smile on his face, "what the fuck man!" I screamed over at him.

"You were hogging him" Blue replies as he looks back at Pony, "but she's right, you've been gone too long, your siblings get antsy if they don't get to see you" he smirks.

Pony laughs deeply just as the car pulls to a stop behind him, where a few of his friends jump out.

Zara is dressed in a revealing dark red dress that hangs onto her body perfectly, her purple hair pulled back tightly into a bun as her eyes search around before landing on me.

A huge smile breaks over her devastatingly gorgeous face as she rushes over to give me a hug, "Kat, I've missed you!" she smiled brightly down at me, her eyes twinkling, as Pony stares over at us with a smile on his face.

I hug her back, trying not to glare at Pony as he gives me a guilty smile, "Zara you look gorgeous as always! You'll tell your Father I said hello when you see him again" I smile back at her.

Only to get crushed again by a new figure, a much shorter and curvier body collides into mine, curls smash against curls as Rava hugs me hard to her chest, before pulling away with a huge smile, her glasses almost slipping down her cute round face as she smiles back at me, "Katrina! I haven't seen you in so long!" she smiles brightly, before whipping around and running into Blue's chest.

"Come on kid, remember when I told you hugs aren't badass?" he sighed even though he was holding her tight to his chest.

This bitches only fucking friend.

Blue looks up and glares at me, hearing my comment run through my mind.

Pony stares down at Rava looking just as love struck as he did when he was staring at Zara.

Next Henry jumps out of the truck, closing the door behind him, a huge smile on his face as he comes a greets us, "Henry, why do you look so old?" I pouted as I tugged him into a hug.

"Maybe because I am" he snickered, "are you hellions inside? Belen owes me a dagger" he smiles before nodding at Blue and rushing into the house.

Rava and Zara follow behind him, leaving Blue and I with Pony.

I punch Pony square in his muscled chest, and try to ignore the immediate pain that flares up my wrist.

Damn Supers.

"Ow?" Pony asks even though we both know that didn't hurt him.

"You've been in love with both of those girls for over ten years now, you mind telling me why one of them isn't married to you yet?" I snap over at him.

"I have to give you props takes talent to drag two women along for that long, and neither one has tried to kill you yet? Props" Blue snorts.

I glare over at him as he shrugs back at me, "he's right, I would have tried to murder Blue if he made me wait that long to even begin a relationship" I glare at Pony.

"Well ... Rava did stab me in the chest with a pen" he winced, "last week" he shook himself, "but its weird, Rava is only 22, and I'm technically 30, and then Zara is 23 but technically she's 26, I don't know, okay? They're a lot younger than me, and everything with the Alliance is going so well, we're a team, and if I choose then it'll mess everything up" he sighed.

I blinked, "you're making them wait on you to decide because you're afraid that your little Justice League might get messed up?"

Thats right, Pony is the head of the Alliance which is like the new Council but they work together to stop Supers from doing completely horrible things, like killing all Supers or stealing powers, but they also track Supers down as well as lead them to the Academy.

Rava, although a human was their tech person, she was behind the scenes on all their missions. Zara, Pony, Henry, and two other members were always out in the field working together.

Blue helped them construct it in the beginning, but then handed the reigns over to Pony.

"Age isn't but a number, plus I've been with Blue since I was 20 years old!" I said.

"But I want them to live, have choices and have fun, because whoever I choose, that'll be it for me, it'll be just the rest of our lives from then on" he sighed, looking tortured.

I blinked, "why weren't you ever that sweet to me?" I ask Blue.

"Because I wanted to kill you when we first met, and still sometimes do".

Such a bitch.

I sigh, "hurry inside and go see your evil ass siblings, and maybe while your at it you could stop being so fucking perfect and just ruin one girls life and give me grandchildren already" I sighed, as Pony kissed the top of my head before running into the house.

I turned to look back at Blue, "where do you think he gets all that sweetness from?"

"Definitely not us" he mutters his eyes watching as a stream of cars start heading this way, "oh great, all the people I was hoping wouldn't show up, have" he muttered drily.

I pulled a huge smile on my face as the first car stopped abruptly before Sasha came tripping out of the car looking sick, "I told you to slowly step on the break!" she screamed back at the car, as she held her stomach, her purple hair still bright and alive even though its been nearly 20 years.

Sabina, their only child steps out of the drivers seat, with a glare on her beautiful face, curly brown hair waving down her back as she glares at her Mother, "it was not that bad!" she cried looking back as Snake stumbled out of the car, a hand over his mouth as he leaned down on his knees, "right Dad?" she cried looking to Snake who was still trying to stop himself from throwing up.

"It was great honey" he lied, as he started dry heaving.

I smiled, "Sabina, it looked good from here" I called out to her as she looked over at me, a huge smile on her face.

"Aunt Kat! Hey Uncle Doom" she called before baring her teeth at Blue, letting us watch as two huge sabertooth canines came down, as he hissed.

Blue smirked before baring his own teeth at her threateningly.

She lost it, laughing hard as she jumped out the car and rushed to give the both of us hugs, "is Bast inside?" she asked way to excitedly.

I smirked, "yup, him and everyone else".

She blinked innocently, "of course, everyone else, I'll see you two inside, sorry if my parents puke in the yard ... again" she smiled before bouncing inside.

Blue had a little smile after her, "I can't wait for them to get married" I sighed.

Blue rolled his eyes, "no. Snake cannot be my sons Father-In-Law, or that evil ass Aleksander" he snapped.

"I fucking heard that, you blue balled bitch. And for your information, Bast would be lucky if I would let him marry my Sabina, Balder" Sasha snapped, glaring at Blue, before tugging me into a harsh hug, "but the wedding will be beautiful" she squealed quietly in my ear before pulling back and dropping the smile from her face, as she looked over at Blue.

Snake pulled Blue into a hug, that he didn't return, before throwing his arm over my shoulder, "who would have thought our kids, in love?" he snickered. "Too bad I'm forcing her into a nunnery" he shrugged that easy going smile on his face as he looked at Sasha who was now glaring at him.

"If you leave one more of those pamphlets on her bed, I'm going to shove them down your throat" Sasha snapped.

Still the cutest couple.

Snake rolled his eyes, before pausing, "Bastiaan isn't in there right?" he asked pointing to the house that his daughter had just gone bounding into.

"Yep she just bounced in" I tried not to laugh.

Blue smirked, "I'd hurry before she goes bouncing on Bast's -" Blue was cut off by Sasha shoving her hand onto his face and pushing as she walked by, and Snake had long ago taken off at a dead sprint into the house.

I laughed as Blue glared after them, "I hate her".

"You secretly love her, she's you ... maybe even with a bigger dick" I smirked.

"ITS DEFINITELY BIGGER" Sasha's voice came flowing out of the house behind us.

"I should have killed her years ago" Blue groaned before facing the rest of the people heading our way.

Bonnie and Hercules were walking behind their son Khleo, who looked devastatingly handsome just like his Father.

I pulled Khleo into a hug as he laughed, "hey Aunty K, and Uncle Doom, everyone inside?" he asked as we nodded, before he took off into the house, no doubt about to collectively destroy something with Belen and Bastiaan.

Bonnie and I attacked each other, her hair now cut into a cute bob at her shoulders, but she still looked just as beautiful as she did when we first met, "Bonnie, you look amazing" I cried looking down at her cute green dress.

She smirked, "thank you! And so do you! So what are we drinking tonight" she laughed as Herc rolled his eyes, pulling me into a quick hug. "I need something, if I get one more call from the school telling me that he's turned someone else into gold again, I'm going to drown myself" she rolled her eyes.

Khleo was attending that Academy with Blake and Bane, and although it wasn't against the rules not to use your powers at school, it was against the rules to use your powers against the other students outside of class.

"You think thats bad? Try getting calls about how your kid used a mini hurricane to throw another student off school grounds" Cha called out from behind Bonnie, as she walked up with Vapor and their daughter Akeno.

Akeno was dying laughing as she looked over at us, "threw that asshole a good five miles away, new record, Uncle Blake" she laughed as she tried to high five Blue who was trying not to laugh as Cha glared over at him, Vapor only sighed.

"You got suspended Ken, its not funny" he chilled at her.

She pouted dropping her hand, where she found Blue waiting with a subtle fist bump.

Cha threw her arms around Bonnie and I, "did I hear that we are drinking? Are we letting the Hell Hounds out again?" she laughed.

"No" came the collective response by Blue, Vapor, Hercules, and Akeno.

We pouted at them, "and why not? We always have fun!" I looked at them.

"Maybe because last time the Hell Hounds came to play, I had to watch my Mother and her friends go skinny dipping in the ocean. And you, Aunty K, you almost drowned" she tutted before giving Bonnie and Herc a hug then running inside the house.

"Why did we ever have kids?" Bonnie sighed.

Cha shrugged, "we thought it would trap them men, but really they trapped us".

"True" I tagged along, "but, the T-Quila" I winked at them, "is inside the kitchen, bottom drawer under the sink" I winked again as they laughed before sprinting off, Herc and Vapor behind them.

"AHHH ITS MY BITCHES!" Sasha screamed from inside the house.

"Mom! Please!" Sabina whined.

Next came Trina and Glare who were walking, holding hands, huge smiles on their faces as the came and greeted us.

Glare pulled me into a tight hug, before passing me off to Trina and their two kids SJ and Sona.

SJ looked so much like Trina it was scary, while Sona favored her Father more. I smiled at all of them, looking like the perfect family. "You all look great, SJ, Blake is inside with everyone else and Sona so is Belen who is most likely trying to cut someone by now" I smiled.

SJ and Blake really liked one another, or at least they flirted all the time like they did.

Blue gave SJ a warning look as he smiled at the both of us, Blue loved SJ, hell that baby had pretty much saved our lives that day 17 years ago, but Blue would decapitate SJ for Blake, which he had said to his face, multiple times.

"They're just having fun Doom, lighten up" Glare laughed.

"Ha-ha, its all fun and games until its your daughter someones trying to-" I placed my hand over Blue's mouth quickly.

"He's on drugs. Ignore him, Trina the girls are inside probably getting drunk as we speak" I smiled while Trina, Sona, and Glare head inside too, before finally pulling my hand away from Blue's mouth. "See what happens when you mess with Snake with his daughter?" I tutted.

"Karma's a bitch. Yes, I know" he pouted glaring back at our huge house. "You don't think they've actually done anything right?" he asked me.

If he knew, he'd cry while stabbing SJ to death.

"No clue. Oh look! Hey Diana!" I waved as Diana and Daniel came up to us, Tristan their son trailing behind them with Nolan, who was Riley and Carson's son.

I quickly give Diana and Riley hugs along with their kids, "go on inside, I'll catch up!" I waved as the four of them left, leaving Carson and Daniel.

"Hey" Blue snapped at Nolan, who turned to look at him, "stay away from the water, and my cars" he finished, while Nolan laughed before continuing into the house.

"Really Doom?" Carson asked as he gave me a tight hug, we'd surprisingly gotten closer over the years.

A huge jump from an evil ass mermaid, I know.

"Yes. Really. I'm still not sure how you weaseled you way into the group, considering you tried to drown my wife and you harassed her and her friends on their hiking trip" Blue rolled his eyes.

"Twenty years ago" Carson laughed.

"He's crazy" I sighed looking up at Carson, who still had his arm on my shoulders.

Blue stepped forwards, yanking me away from Carson, "don't you have a wife, fish breath?" he snapped.

"Life partner" Carson smirked.

"Can you two quit?" Daniel sighed, as he smiled down at me.

Daniel and I were ok. He and Diana were technically together, but they weren't very good at it. Two very different people made for an interesting life, which is why they broke up all the time.

They'd gotten better once they had Tristan, but their fights could rival even Blue and I's.

Which was always entertaining to watch, of course.

"Can you stop smiling at my wife, Star? You know what? How did you two even get an invite?" Blue glared.

"You're such a great host" I sighed looking up at him as he glared down at me.

"Yes, I know. Now fish breath, Star fucker, how about you two go inside my house and go sit in a dark corner somewhere until the night is over?" Blue finished.

Carson laughed good-naturedly.

Daniel glared.

"I'm sorry about him, you two go in and enjoy yourselves" I smiled at them as they walked past us towards the house.

Once they were gone, I laughed into Blue's chest, "star fucker? Thats a new one" I snickered.

He smirked down at me, "you like it? It just came to me out of no where" he finished.

"Still got it, after twenty years" I shook my head.

His hand skimmed over my butt, "trust me, I know I still got it" he smirked again.

"Oh gross, are you two hitting on each other right now?" Ryker asked, his lips pulled up into that amused smirk he got from his Father.

He continued towards us before throwing his large arms over both Blue and I, giving us hugs, "hey Ryk, where's your parents?" I asked him looking behind him only to see his pissed sister coming this way.

"On their way, think they snuck in a quickie at the house" he laughed, making me roll my eyes at my nephew.

He looked so much like Klaus they could be twins from when Klaus and I first met.

I watched in fascination as Kristina pulled her sneaker off her foot and beamed it into the back of Ryker's head making him stumble forwards.

Blue coughed a laugh as he stared down his spitfire niece who was sweating and looked pissed, "Oi! Asshole, you think next time you decide to just jump here you might want to bring me along, it was a ten fucking minute walk, where the fuck did you go?" she snapped at him as she stormed up to me, throwing her arms around me, before doing the same to Blue, still breathing hard.

Ryker frowned at his little sister, "I thought I forgot something in my room so I jumped back, then I took a quick nap and then jumped back here" he shrugged.

"You fucking toad!" she snapped shoving him away before storming into the house, her hair flying everywhere behind her.

Ryker smirked at his sisters back, "too easy" he laughed, before looking back at our amused faces, "Mana and Pa should be here soon, not to worry!" he called before disappearing right in front of our eyes, his smile the last thing to fade away.

I laughed, "why does she have your temper?"

"Mine? No. I would have made his head explode, she had the temper of a woman who went sprinting down a hallway to kick your ass, remember?" he snorted.

I smiled back at the memory, "guess your right" I laughed.

"Brother, Sister-in-law" Carter smirked as he strolled up to the house.

I frowned slightly, "what are you doing here? I thought you weren't coming" I said pulling him into a hug.

"Gross. You invited him?" Blue snapped.

I rolled my eyes, Blue and Carter were back and forth all the time. Sometimes they were on good terms and sometimes they weren't. I honestly think its a monthly thing, I'm not sure.

But Carter had been through it.

He was still an ass, but he'd gotten better.

He had fallen in love with Diana a long time ago, and I guess she must have picked Daniel over him, and ever since Carter had been ... different.

He still lived in Greece, but no longer with their Mother, and he was always so isolated, hardly coming for anything.

I talked to him a lot over the phone, but I could tell he was hiding something, worried about something.

He smiled down at me, before Blue tugged me away, making Carter snort. "Mama wanted to come" he smiled turning around where Blue's Mom was floating towards us.

Still as beautiful as the day I met here.

She quickly engulfed me into a tight hug, before pulling Blue in too.

"Mama what are you doing here?" Blue asked hugging her back, after placing a kiss on her cheek.

She smiled down at me, tugging on a coil of my hair, "I came to see my beautiful daughters, and my grandchildren. Now move" she smiled before shoving Blue out the way and floating into the house, Carter behind her.

Blue glared at their backs, "great" he sulked.

I snorted, "shut up".

Another car pulled up before revealing my own parents, who had shared a car with Ana and Rhett and their daughter Rhea.

"You invited Rhett?" Blue gritted out.

"I invited Ana, who is married to Rhett" I smiled back at him.

"I don't like them"

"Sucks to suck"

I smiled brightly as they came rushing up to me, Ana throwing her arms around me, completely ignoring her ex-husband, "Kat, you look great!" she smiled.

I hugged her, before pulling Rhea into a hug as well, "you guys look great too, hey Rhett" I smiled at his close lipped smile.

So awkward.

Rhea sighed, "Blake's in right?" she asked before I nodded, making her dash off indoors.

Ana laughed looking behind her daughter with love, "Diana's in there too, Ana, and the girls are probably two turns past drunk right now" I smiled as she nodded, before taking off inside too.

Which left Rhett, who was smiling over at me, a subdued emotion in his eyes, "you okay, Rhett?" I asked with a small smile.

He nodded, it had been a little weird ever since I hadn't chosen him.

He had come a week after Blue and I realized I was pregnant and asked about him pursuing a relationship with Ana who was head over heels in love with him.

Ana had spoken to me about it before he had, so I was prepared and I was happy for her.

Rhett had seemed ... disappointed when I'd easily given my blessing, not that he needed it.

Blue was just a sour bitch.

"Don't you have some flowers to watch wilt, somewhere? Inside maybe? With your wife? And daughter?" Blue said.

I winced, "remember what we talked about, babe?" I say up to Blue.

He looks down at me, a dead face, "no. What"

"How you were going to be less of a dick with one testicle, remember?" I grit up at him.

He narrows his eyes at me before looking up at Rhett who has a small amused look on his face, "Don't you have some flowers to watch wilt, somewhere? Inside maybe? With your wife? And daughter? Pal" he adds on.

I sigh, deep and tortured.

"Pal doesn't make that any nicer" I snap up at him.

Blue flicks my forehead, making my brain fucking rattle in my skull.

"It sure as fuck does, doesn't it Rhett" Blue fake smiles as Rhett lets out a small chuckle and looks over at us.

"You two ... really look good together" he laughs, a real smile on his face.

I smile back, "we already fucking know. Have you not seen our kids. Model like faces, asshole" Blue responds.

I sigh, looking back at Rhett, "please go inside, its only going to get worse the longer you stand in front of us" I wince as Rhett laughs and walks behind us inside our house.

"All these people I don't like, and their spawn only making it worse" Blue sneered.

I rolled my eyes, "Rhett is cool and Rhea is a very nice girl".

"Rhea, like diar-" I elbowed him in the stomach, as my parents stroll up in front of us.

I sighed, "hey Mom, hey Dad".

My Mom rolled her eyes at me, while my Dad beamed me with a huge smile, "hey Katrina, we heard there was a party" he smiled.

I narrow my eyes at them, "you heard that?"

"Yes! We did you ungrateful cow! We hacked your e-mail and saw you were having a party that we weren't invite to-" here we go, "-after all I've done, after all the hours of feeding you, bathing you, loving you, I get no invite to this party you are having? I understand not inviting your Father, but me?! Me?! Your own mother? I'm hurt, you curly headed witch. I am hurt" she snapped.

Blue was dying beside me.

"I did sent you an invite" I mutter to them.

"Liar! We checked your sent list in your e-mails!" she yells back at me.

"I mailed you yours mom, remember you told me that computers were evil, and that you had set your on fire" I answer back quietly as they both pause.

She freezes looking surprised.

"Kalvin when was the last time you got the mail?" she snapped up to him quietly like I couldn't hear her.

Did she say she broke into my email?

How did they guess my password?

"I don't have time to go to the post office" my dad snapped back at my mother.

My gene pool, everyone.

Send help.

Cause I'm drowning in it.

"The mail is in the mail box" she looks back up at him confused.

"I only go there when its my birthday, duh, Bon. Sometime you can be so stupid" he rolls his eyes at her shocked face, before turning to Blue, "my son! How are you? Need that divorce lawyer yet?" he snickers.

My Mother proceeds to shove my Dad face first up the stair case where he trips and rolls on our steps.

She laughs nervously as Blue and I stare at her shocked, with my Father groaning on the ground, "ha-ha he jokes too much. There is no such thing as divorce, that would be crazy, I don't even know what the word means myself, haha" then she pauses looking us dead in the face as her smile drops and she glares at us, "marriage is life in prison" then she turns to Blue, "you can't return her" before she smiles again, with her multi personality ass, then hops over my Dad who is still groaning, before skipping up towards the house.

"Come on Kalvin! Lets see how much of the cake we can eat before the birthday girl gets here" she laughs before disappearing into the house, where cries of 'Granna' can be heard.

My Dad slowly rolls onto his knees before limping up, "crazy bitch" he hisses, "SAVE ME SOME CAKE" he cries before limping into the house.

My hand slowly comes over my mouth, before I look to Blue with wide eyes, "am I that weird?" I hissed.

He nods slowly, "maybe even weirder, I feel like you have a few more level to go than them" he snickers.

Oh shit.

We turn back around when we hear the last car drive up, where Aria and Klaus are jumping out the car.

Blue and I meet them half way, my arms circling around Aria as she clings to me, "my sister! My mother fucking sister! Ahh your 34 today! I'm so excited, you old ass bitch!" I screamed into her ear as she laughed.

She pulled back, her hair in carefree waves down her back, her skin shinning and a huge smile on her face, "shut up! You're older than me" she rolled her eyes, as she looked over and crushed Blue to her chest, while I quickly yanked Klaus into a hug.

"Little Klaus, your demons are here, in the house waiting for you" I smirked as he rolled his eyes at me, that devil may care smile on his face still the same it was all those years ago.

"Great. You know our kids are actively trying to kill us" he rolled his eyes again, "and Sona has the temper of a snake, she nearly drowned her brother the other day" he sighed, "she's her mothers child" he laughs as we make our way into the house, shutting the door behind us.

I watch as Aria looks surprised around at everyone as they screech Happy Birthday, before laughing at her shocked face.

She turns to me, shaking her head as her eye looks around the room, from our drunk friends, to our crazy children, then to our laughing husbands, she shakes her head at me again, "greatest fucking family, and its all thanks to you, Katrina. Where would I be had you not kidnapped me 18 years ago?" she shook her head again, tears in her eyes.

"Oh you emotional bitch, don't you dare cry! And I did not kidnap you, I assisted in kidnapping you, I was already a hostage" I correct her, while she wraps me into another hug.

"You gave me a family, a husband, kids even though they're shitty kids, they're mine, and before all of that I had you, a real friend, a real family" she sighed tears now running down her face.

I roll my own tear filled eyes at her, "oh shut up, we found each other, and we made this, we made this family together, now go say hi to everyone" I laugh swiping at my eyes, as I push her into the crowd where everyone crowds her trying to give her hugs, even my own parents who are covering in icing.

I turn back around trying to get the tears out of my eyes.

"You crying little bitch" Blue smirked as he slinked up next to me.

I quickly try to blink my eyes dry, but he's smirking at me, and its no use, my heart is twisting in my chest.

Love.

I huff a laugh at him, just staring at his incredibly handsome face.

"Where would I be had you not fucking kidnapped me, Blue Doom? I'd have never met any of these people without you" I sigh struggling to keep my tears back.

He smiles slightly, bringing his hand to my waist, pulling me into him, "I would have still met you somewhere, still kidnapped you eventually, because even though I couldn't admit then, I knew you were meant to be with me" he shrugs.

"Oh shit" I hiss trying to wipe my tears away.

He chuckles again, as he stared down at me, his hand brushing across my cheek.

There in our living room, our whole family around us, I stare up at him.

"Its what I saw, Katty" he whispers, looking down at me with so much love in his eyes I could drown in it.

"Saw?" I asked him confused.

"Its what I saw, every time I looked in your eyes, this life, this happiness, this family. This. You and me. That second in that alley when our eyes met, I saw this. Thats why I chased you down, I was chasing my dreams" he whispered, his thumb brushing away more tears.

"Bullets, Blue Doom" I whisper up at him, as he slowly descends, his lips a hair away from mine.

"Bullets, Katrina Dun" he smirks, before his lips crash on mine.



THE END!!!!
