TNS Piper Season 8 (Must Read)

Oneshot #4: James finds out

Piper's POV:

"We have to tell him, Pipes." Finn said, holding my hand as we sat on a bench in a beautiful park, overlooking a vast, blue lake.

"I know, if we leave it longer, he'll find out and kill us." I replied, shuddering at the thought of telling James.

Finn and I had been dating for a week and we were talking about how to tell James. I felt really reluctant, not because I didn't want him to know but because he would probably kill Finn for, one, dating me and two, the whole drama between me, him and Amy.

"How about tomorrow night, you can come over for dinner?" I suggested before facepalming myself, in realisation.

My dad. I'm not telling only James but my dad too.

"Yeah, sure, then I can meet your whole family." Finn said, excitedly, as I stared at him with my mouth hanging open. "But my family's crazy, especially when it comes to boys!" I said, but Finn just laughed.

"When you met my family, I thought that Cierra and my dad would scare you away with all of their embarrassing stories, but you're still here. So don't worry, it won't be that bad." He said,  trying to be optimistic but I just really didn't want to be embarrassed in front of Finn.

I smiled fondly, at the memory of Finn's older sister, Cierra telling me all about what Finn did as a kid and his little sister, Annalise, showing me all of her cool toys. His parents were super funny and reminded me of my own.

"Okay, okay. Tomorrow it is. I just hope you can handle the craziness of my family." I said, laughing as he chuckled and kissed my forehead.

"What's the worst thing that you can imagine happening at the dinner?" Finn asked, as I paused to think about it. "My dad pulling out my baby pictures and James killing you." I said with a smile on my face.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure to kiss you before I die." He said, as we both laughed. We stayed at the park, talking and laughing, before Finn dropped me off at home.

I took a deep breath in before opening the door. Only my mum knew about me and Finn dating and the dinner tomorrow but I had to break it to the others tonight and I was not looking forward to it.

After getting changed, I walked past my mum to the other living room where my dad and my siblings were. She gave me a wink and pushed me, encouragingly, into the direction of the rest of my family.

"Hey guys." I said, as I got a lot of "hey"'s back. "Pipes, can you believe that in all of dad's years on earth, he has never watched Harry Potter?! He hasn't even read the book!" Julia said, utterly outraged as the rest of my siblings tried to tell him the plot of the all the movies.

"Guys, I have to tell you something." I called out in the middle of their discussion, as my mum turned up out of nowhere and sat down in an armchair, watching on in amusement.

"Dad, James. You're gonna have to sit down for this." I said, shaking my head gently. They all looked at me with concern and confusion as I took a deep breath in.

"I have a boyfriend and he's coming over for dinner, tomorrow evening." I said, holding my breath and waiting for their reactions.

Suddenly, my two older sisters started squealing and screaming and congratulating me. My dad started groaning and holding his chest as if he was dying and James clenched his fists, shouting things such as,

"What?"

"How?"

"Why? Can't you wait for like another 50, 60 years?", to which I rolled my eyes and sighed, telling them to stop being so dramatic.
