Her Heart

The Downey Side

<Brooklyn Beckham's Point of View><February 3, 2019>

          "Hey! Just because I laughed when I brought you home..." I grumbled as she parked the car in her father's driveway and gave me a look. "Okay I see your point." I said, recalling how she was when she met my parents and I was the same way she was now. "Relax, BB, they will give you a hard time but they won't do much else." She sighed, waving as she got out of the car I sighed and followed as she opened the front door with her key. "You'll be fine." She whispered closing the door behind me, I took a deep breath as she called out her little brother and sister came running around the corner. "Ellie!! Ellie!!" The cheered, running into her open arms hugging her. She laughed as she hugged them and kissed both their cheeks. "I have missed you two little terrors!!" She laughed, picking them up one on each hip then turning to me. "This is my special friend Brooklyn! Brook, this is Exton and this is Avri! Can you two say hi?!" She introduced, they both waved shyly I smiled and waved back her dad walking up behind her putting his hand on her back. "Oh! Hi! Didn't even hear you!" Ellie chuckled, setting her siblings down to their dismay turning around and hugging their dad. "Hey, princess, how are you? Drive okay?" He asked, she sighed but nodded. "Light traffic but it's LA. Hi, mama!" She said, letting him go to greet her stepmom with a hug and a kiss to the cheek. "Hey, baby girl! Dinner's almost ready!" She said, Ellie nodded and directed their attention to me. "Mama, dad, this is Brooklyn! Brook, this my dad and step-mom!" She introduced, I shook their hands *ding* "Perfect timing! That's the bread!"

          "Mama, dad, this is Brooklyn! Brook, this my dad and step-mom!" Elsie introduced, I shook his hand then Susan did *ding* "Perfect timing! That's the bread!" Susan said, scurrying back to the kitchen. "C'mon, rugrats, let's see what mama made!" Ellie said, making grabby hands at Exton and Avri for them to take her hands they did, and the three happily skipped into the kitchen. "C'mon, boys, don't just stand there!" Susan called, Ellie laughed and I motioned for Brooklyn towards the kitchen. "You need a hand, babe?" He asked, Ellie shook her head. "These are for the babies, but if you can grab mine and yours." She said, the little ones whined about being called the babies as their sister walked over giving them their supper. I took mine and Susan's getting a look from her before she glanced at the wine glasses, I knew as well as she did that it was a test. "Brooklyn, Ellie, want a glass? It's red." She said, holding up the bottle as I put our plates in their spots. "Yes please!" . "No thank you, I'm not old enough and if El is having some I guess I'll be the designated driver tonight. I know how she handles the stuff!" Brooklyn shook his head, Elsie shot him a glare. "Oh! That doesn't even count! I wasn't even drunk just tipsy! I knew where we were and what I was doing. You said you would never bring that up again!" My daughter exclaimed, he tried but failed to hide his laughter she groaned rolled her eyes.

          After dinner, he helped clean up as Ellie and I entertained the little ones getting them changed into pajamas. "Soo... what movie is it gonna be tonight?" Susan asked, walking in with her and Ellie's wine glasses, Brooklyn behind her with two bowels of popcorn. "It's Ellie's turn to pick!" Exton called, pointing to his older sister. "Okay. Let's see." Ellie hummed, taking the remote and finding a movie for us to watch. By the end of it all three of my kids were out like lights, Ellie leaning against her boyfriend's shoulder. "Need a hand getting her to the car?" I asked, careful not to wake any of them up he shook his head setting her keys around his wrist before looping the arm under her knees carrying her bridal style. I got the door and the passenger side door, he mouthed a "thank you" after both and laid her in buckling her in quietly closing it before going to the driver side saying goodnight and pulling away.

Author Note from NerdyCheese: I was going to write a part where he (Brooklyn) meets her mom and step-dad but I figured it'd be too similar to this part with the only difference being they'd play a board game instead.
