Aphmau's POV:

We made it back to Aaron and my house and we were greeted by Melissa at the door.

"Hey Aph!", she said perkily, a bit more so than usual especially considering the situation we were in.

"Hey...Melissa...everything okay?", I asked her.

"Yep! C'mon in guys!", she said pushing me inside towards the living room. The others followed suit just as confused as I was.

"Woah, woah. Okay, I'm going. What's so important anyway?", I asked. I turned my head in the direction of the living room and saw a man sitting down with Derek.

"Zack?", Aaron said aloud.

"Zack...you mean...", I looked back towards the male again.

He stood up noticing me, "Aphmau...", he said scratching the back of his head.

Without thinking I ran up to him and jumped, embracing him with a hug. A smile curled on my lip and my eyes became watery, but none of the tears escaped. "Dad...", I whispered just loud enough to him to hear.

I was finally seeing my father, for the first time in what seemed like forever. I heard a knock on the door but ignored it. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Aaron open the door.

"MIJA!", I heard a familiar voice call out.

I turned around and saw my mother and Eric, "M-mom! H-hi."

"Mija, I saw a car out on your drive-way and-", she stopped mid-way seeing who was behind me, "You.", she growled.

"He-he, hi.", my father said backing away.

"Mija what is she doing here!?", my mother shrieked.

"Mom... I... don't know....", I said trying to thinking of a reason.

"Hey, can't I visit my daughter?", Zack said in his defence.

"No you can't. Can I have a little talk with my 'family'?", she asked gesturing to the others in the room.

Everyone walked out except Aaron, Eric, and my father.

"You too Aaron and Eric."

"I'm her finance! But fine...", Aaron mumbled walking out with Eric.

"I guess I'll go too-", my father started walking out but my mother stopped him by grabbing his shoulder, "I said family Zack...this is your daughter too.".

"¡¿Mija, qué esta haciendo él aquí?!" (Mija, what is he doing here?!), she asked me.

"¡No lo sé! ¿¡Por qué no le preguntas!? ¡Quizás realmente quiera ver a su hija!" (I don't know! Why don't you ask him!? Maybe he actually wants to see his daughter!)

"Si hubiera querido, lo habría hecho antes. Probablemente solo necesite algo." (If he wanted to, he would have done so sooner. He probably just needs something.)

"Umm..., you know I can hear you right, and understand you?", my father said face palming.

"Oh look, you actually decided to get an education while you were gone.", my mom sassed him.

"Sylvanna, I literally lived with you. Of course I know Spanish too."

"Well-"

"Okay! Okay! If my mom is done trying to throw insults at my dad, can we please discuss the other reason he's here!?", I shouted, "I swear to Irene you act like a little kid mom.", I mumbled under my breath.

"Another reason?", she questioned.

"*Ahem * yeah, there was another reason.", he said and my mother threw me a look saying she expected this.

"Just hear him out mom.", I told her.

"Fine. But it better be a good one."

"Okay, well, everyone actually needs to be in here.", he said starting to regain his confidence.

"Fine. But no funny business sir. I'm keeping an eye on you.", she said walking away doing the 'watching you' motion with her fingers.

"Mom...", I whisper-groaned.
