Red Light Special

Chapter 27

The next month flew by Joe and I finally managed to get a night time schedule figured out. Before I even realized it we were on a plane heading to Boston for a week to visit his parents and the can meet the baby. Nerves are a understatement when it comes to meeting his parents. Joey insists his parents were going to absolutley love me, I just dont see how. I had a one night stand and got pregnant with Joe's baby well he was still married if I was them I wouldnt be able to. It was honestly the most nerve wracking 5 and a half hours ive had. Joe tried non stop the entire flight to reasure me that my anxiety was just kicking up and that I worrying needless to say it was easier for him to say than how I feel.

The plane touched down it was three in the afternoon, here we go. Mariah had thankfully slept the entire trip. As I hear the plane doors open I tried to swollow the lump that formed in my throat and I wiped my hands that were sweating on my jeans,

"this is it baby"

he leaned over kissing me softly before grabbing the baby.

"it will be ok I swear."

I ushered Liyah off the plane she has been so nervous to meet my parents, I keep telling her they are going to love her but she cant get passed how we got here. To my parents it doesnt matter, what matters is if I am happy and I am. She really gave them something that they excepted they were never going to get from me. I like to say that I wasnt nervous, I am but for a total different reason that Liyah is. I spent the last month planning her proposal, I have it all planned. I am taking her out on Saturday and Im doing it. My parents already know, they are keeping the baby and Im going to make her dream come true because she already made mine.

We stepped off the plane and walked into the treminal, it was only a matter of minutes before I seen the smile cross his face and him wave. I looked up to see the cutest little couple and I reconized them right away from all the tv interviews back in the day. They both had the biggest smile on their faces. I like to say that it set my mind at easy but it really didnt. Before I even knew I was standing face to face with his parents.

"mom dad this is my girlfriend Aaliyah, Liyah baby this is my parents Tom and Kay"

"Hello Aaliyah dear its finally nice to meet you face to face, Joesph has told us so much about you."

"The pleasure is all mine Mrs. McIntyre."

"Sweetheart call me Kay dear."

"Kay."

"Arent you just as beautiful as my son described"

"Thank you so much Mr. McIntyre"

"honey you can call me Pops or Tom."

I just smiled,

"Kay,Tom this is Mariah your granddaughter."

I pulled the cover from over the carseat. One look at Mariah and I seen the tears in his mother's eyes.

"Oh my god she is more beautiful than she is in her pictures!"

Right there in the airport terminal Kay's emotions overtook her and I watched the tears stream from her eyes. I didnt expect for her to pull me into her hugging me tightly.

"Thank you Aaliyah I mean it, I never expected to get a grandchild from Joesph."

"Umm your welcome I guess."

Joe leaned over whispering in my ear,

"baby girl consider it a honor my mother never get emotional."
