Ok so my trip was great, I loved seeing my two sisters, my nephew, and brother-in-law again after so many years. Tennessee was majestic as always.

I bought a knife to go with my blade collection. Is blade collection right? I don't know, there all blades but not knives. I own a Roman Gladius, my survival knife and a pair of butterfly swords. I wanted sharp butterfly swords but... I apparently don't know how to read descriptions on Amazon.

Stepping off the plane, they had finally made it. Blake and Jaune were finally in Ravenport, a town that sprung up on the edge of Mistral's border, the edge that met the sea. The airport was pretty standard white tile floor, benches.

Coming down the escalator with Jaune behind her carrying both her own and his duffle bags, she saw a sheep Faunus women on the ground floor of the airport. She stood there five foot six wearing a black suit, she held a sign in hand that read ARC in large bold and black letters. Once they had come to the base of the escalator the sheep Faunus walked over to them with a large smile on her face before wrapping her arms around Jaune in a hug.

"Jauney!" The women swung herself and Jaune left and right before setting him down. She turned and took notice of Blake, it was then she really took notice of how beautiful she really was. The women were slightly smaller than herself with chin-length pink hair that curled at the ends with two sheep horns sprouting from her carry pink locks.

"Hello Ma'am," She extended her hand to Blake, "My name's Clementine Shaf." Clementine greeted Blake with a smile.

"Hello, my names Blake bel-" Blake paused and looked at Jaune. "The names Blake Arc, its a pleasure to meet you." Jaune didn't know that she would introduce herself as his wife, not that he didn't like the sound of it.

"Pleasure is all mine, ma'am," Clementine smiled warmly as she shook Blake's hand. Blake turned to Jaune with a questioning gaze.

"You have Faunus servants?" Blake asked as the trio made their way out of the busy airport and into a black BMW.

"Oh, yes," Clementine answered before Jaune could even begin forming the words in his throat. "I've been under the Arc families employ for quite some time." Clementine held the back door of the car open to allow Jaune and Blake before she herself entered the driverside.

"I don't like the word servant," Jaune muttered.

The Arc family estate was beautiful, there was a certain charm to old fashion buildings. It was quite large with multiple buildings connected together with long hallways, each building was its own room complete with everything that one would need, sleeping space, kitchen, living area, and bath. The main house was the largest by far, it had to be if it was going to house so many people, they even had an old style dojo around the back of the house.

Pressing a button on the front gate a voice came from a small speaker on the brick wall.

"I'm back, I've got Jaune and his wife with me."

A voice on the other end said something that couldn't be made out by Jaune and Blake and then the gate swung open. Making their way from the gate to the front steps of the house Blake took notice of the lovely flower garden, it had a statue in the center of it. The same statue that was in the beacon courtyard, Jaune noticed her looking at the statue and he explained that it was of his great-great-grandfather, Thadius James Arc and his wife Lisette Poulin Arc.

The door slid open and a woman stood there staring at them. At a glance, Blake knew it was Jaune's mother, 'My mother-in-law.' She was a five foot eight woman with long blonde hair with those unmistakable blue eyes.

"Jaune?!"

"Hi, mom."

Jaune's mother started to tear up as she wrapped him in a tight embrace that made even Blakes side's hurt. 'Is that what I have to look forward too.'

The woman broke from her and Jaune's embrace and turned to Blake who froze, she was nervous. Who wouldn't be in this situation, this was her mother-in-law who she hadn't had the pleasure of meeting.

"You must be Blake," The woman said with a smile on her face, "Your parents have told me much about you."

That statement made the hair's on her neck stand on end. She had forgotten her own parents, her mother would be somewhat alright about her current relationship but her father. Ghira Belladonna was overprotective to the nth degree so needless to say he would have a problem with this but ultimately there is little to nothing he can do. He would definitely not take the news well.

"Hello, ma'am."

"Oh that won't do, you are my daughter-in-law after all. You can call me Juliet... or Mom.

A blush crept across Blake's face, "Alright... mom." Juliet's face visibly brightened as she enveloped Blake into the same spine crushing hug she gave Jaune. If she had to describe it, the only word she could use was... warm. She had that comforting mom smell that makes you think that all moms by perfume at the same cosmetic's store.

"Mom, as much as I love the fact your not freaking out that I got married without telling you, can we go inside know?"

Juliet turned towards Jaune and frowned, "Jaune Miles Arc," oh no she used the middle name, "don't think for a second you're off the hook, we are going to have a nice long conversation later."

"Yes, mother."

Stepping foot in the main house they were greeted by the sight of the Belladonna parents. Blakes father looked intense, a dark aura seemed to emanate from him, Jaune audibly gulped. Blake's mother, however, seemed nice as she sat there drinking tea. 'I suppose that explains where Blake gets her beautiful looks from.'

"Jaune."

"Hello, dad," Jaune took his father's outstretched hand before turning to Blake's parents and bowing to them. "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Belladonna. Its a pleasure to meet you both."

"Its a pleasure," Mrs. Belladonna greeted in reply, "and you can just call me mom."

"Mom!"

'Well, she seems to be taking this well." Jaune thought his eye's drifted to his real obstacle, Blake's father.

"Hello, young man. Im Blake's father, Ghira." He said while scowling. If Jaune didn't know any better he would have mistaken Ghira for a gorilla Faunus because of how huge he was and this was only him sitting down.

Dinner with the in-laws, any guy would say that there awkward especially for Jaune. Conversations of how Beacon was going filled the table, there was even some laughter mostly from Kali on Juliet and some nervous chuckles from Jaune, Blake remained fairly quiet. Of course, the conversation came back to the root of their problems, how they came to be married. He knew it was coming but wasn't looking forward to it.

The news caught both parents off guard. Kali expression was that of concern with a side helping of amusement, Juliet had a hand pinching the bridge of her nose. Ghira looked like he was going to blow a blood vessel, Kali had to practically hold him down. Blake assured him that she was happy with the situation as it currently stood. Jaune's father, Noah was currently in the middle of... busting a lung.

"So Jaune, couldn't wait for grandpa to find a girl for you huh?"

"Dad, just because it worked out between you and mom doesn't mean I'd be ok with it."

Noah continued to snicker, seriously what kinda dad gets his jollies from his sons... 'Surprisingly good luck.'

In all honesty, Jaune Arc and good luck don't typically go hand in hand. What was the universe playing at, building him up to break him down?

"Dear this is no laughing matter."

'Yeah.'

The look on Ghira's face while half hidden by shadows, the visible throbbing vane on his forehead spoke volumes of his annoyance. Kali tried to calm him but was unable too, even Blake couldn't stop him. Ghira stood from his seat at the table.

"No, it is not!"

"I don't know much about you, but from what your parents have told me... I don't approve of you."

Ghira glared daggers at Jaune, who had his own eyes glued to the table. Blake knew winning over her father wasn't going to be easy when it comes to being overprotective he was second to none, not even Yang could challenge that title. Jaune was visibly shaking, poor guy. Not approving of their relationship was on par with telling him to kill himself, of course, it was her father against him. Jaune was old fashion so he would yearn for the parent's approval, even if she told him that she didn't care.

"Dad!"

Ghiras glare turned towards her, "No, I will not budge on this Blake. I will not believe in something as ludicrous as magic or a curse, you will not remain in this farce."

Blake was silenced immediately, her father was the usually the big softie. If she really wanted something he would cave but when she persisted on this matter he was fervent against it.

Silence swept over the table, no one made an attempt to move a muscle or make a noise. She turned to look at Jaune, scared to death he was turning into a corpse. Jaune as pale as a sheet, she held her hand on his just in case, last time his body turned cold as ice and his face looked awful. He was a bit chilly, it scared Blake for a moment as she thought it would progress further but was relieved to find that it didn't.

"Please, sir..." Jaune murmured, his voice was weak, it was hard to listen to. She knew maybe better than most how strong Jaune really was.

Jaune stood and stared at her father, his eyes seemed to convey sadness, confidence and... it seemed as if through eye contact alone he was challenging Ghira.

"I love Blake and... well I at least hope she feels something for me," Jaune felt Blake squeeze his hand a bit, he turned and saw Blakes confirming smile. He turned back to Ghira, who saw the display of affection Blake showed to Jaune.

"What must I do, to prove myself to you."

Ghira was taken aback by Jaune's sudden courage. It was as if knowing Blake supported him and having her by his side gave him the determination to stand his ground. Noah felt as if he had lied eyes on his son for the first time, gone was the Jaune who cowered behind his sisters, it seems this drunken mistake has given him something to fight for.

Ghira smirked in response to Jaune's challenge.

-break-

Jaune sat on the bed while Blake stood before him. She couldn't believe what had transpired. She knew, talking with her father wasn't going to be easy but she had never expected him to challenge Jaune to a duel... even more surprising was that Jaune had accepted the challenge. "What were you thinking?"

"What was I thinking?! I was thinking I could prove to your father that im good enough for you."

Blake stood across their shared room, worry, anger, and frustration ran rampant in her mind. Angry at Jaune for worrying so much about what her father thought of him, seriously Blake was happy with Jaune, wasn't that enough. Frustrated at her father for challenging him to some stupid duel, not all problems can be solved with your fists. Worry, Jaune had become stronger due to Pyrrha's training and even more so after discovering his semblance, but against a fully trained huntsman like Ghira Belladonna. Blake doubted even she could beat her father.

Blake took a seat on the bed next to Jaune, she took his hands in her own. She didn't like the thought of her father and husband fighting but if it had to happen she would do whatever it took for Jaune to come out victorious. Isn't that the duty of the wife, to help her husband succeed any way she could?

"I dont like this," she paused as Jaune looked into her amber eye's, "dad's a strong Huntsman and with his sta-" She couldn't finish her sentence as Jaune effectively shut her up with a kiss. As they separated Blake noticed something in Jaune's cobalt blue eye's... was it determination?

"Thanks but no thanks," Jaune rested his head against hers. "I know I dont need your father's acceptance, your a grown woman who can make her own choice's after all but I gotta do this... for myself."

-break-

Just outside the doorway stood Ghira Belladonna, a smile spread across his face. He had fully expected him to take Blake up on the offer of information on his fighting style or even the weapon he used. Jaune surprised him, wanting to fight him head on without knowing a thing about his opponent.

'Very interesting'

Oh My GOD, I've been struggling with this chapter since I got back. So next chapter Ghira and Jaune will fight, so there you go that one guy who asked about what kinda drama would happen between Jaune and him.
