Hannigram// A Small Holiday

Chapter 34 - Family Dinner

A few days had passed since Abigail's birthday. It was early afternoon and Abigail had just come home from her classes, " Dads!"she called into the house, wondering where they were.
" Yea?" Will replied and she followed his piece to the kitchen.

Will was washing the plates from their late breakfast while Hannibal was on his iPad looking through emails," Oh here you are" Abigail said sitting on the counter, " I am going out tonight" she said looking between her dads.

" Oh who with?" Hannibal asked, closing his iPad to talk. He fund it rude to be on a device when someone was talking to you.
" My bo- My friends" Abigail's caught herself
Hannibal didn't notice but Will glanced at her, " What are their names?" Hannibal asked, not sure if she was still friends with the girls that had been suspects in a murder.
" Leah and Zoey" Abigail said, lying through her teeth

Will drained the sink and started to dry the cups, " Are you sure you don't have a date?" He didn't even have to look up to know the surprise that was on his daughter's face," With a boy name Luke" he continued.
" How did you know his name?" Abigail said, amazed that she had known that much

Hannibal gave Will five dollars, slotting it into the back pocket of his fiancée's jeans, " Told you it was a boy" Will said smiling at Hannibal.
" Explain please" Abigail said, amused that they had been betting on her.

Will contoured to dry the plates, he hated waiting for them to dry, " Because you mentioned it to your friend when you were dropped off last week" Abigail laughed slightly
" Nosy bastard" was all she could say
Hannibal hit her knee lightly, " Language"
" She's right" Will said smiling at his family

Hannibal rolled his eyes and took the cloth from Will, " Is it a set date?" He asked
Abby shrugged," No we were going to meet up" there was no point in lying anymore.
" We can all have dinner together" Hannibal said already plotting
" Sounds cool" Abigail replied. She left to go and pick him up, having passed her drivers test a week ago.

After watching Abigail leave the room, Will put his arms around his lovers waist, " What are you playing at Doctor?" He said against Hannibal's neck, leaving a playful kiss.
" Playing a careful game" he said setting down his task and the wing to face Will.

Will looked over his face and saw what he had been missing, " Your worried" he smiled
Hannibal laughed lightly," About my daughter? Naturally" his hands cradling the lower half of Will's back.

" What's the plan?" Will kissed Hannibal's lips and then kissed down his jaw.
Hannibal tilted his head slightly, giving Will more access, " You assume there is a plan" he said

Will pulled back and held his fiancé's face, " I know you." He watched as Hannibal struggled to keep a mask of indifference on, " How are we scaring this kid?"
" I'm glad you asked" Hannibal smiled before explaining the plan.

The couple had arrived at home, Abigail had driven and her boyfriend was figuring with his shirt. " Dont even worry about my parents they are so sweet" Abigail said before knocking at the door
" I know, I just want them to like me" her boyfriend said nervously

The door swung open, " Hi Dad" Abigail said shocked at the sight of her dad.
Will just smiled at her, " Hello Abby. My name is Will Graham. And you are?" He held his hand out for the young man to take
" Luke, Luke Smith" he shook the hand and Will stood aside to let them inside.

Will was in a simple suit with his hair brushed back, a blue shirt that stood well against his black trousers, " Simple name. Good. Go through to the kitchen, there are drinks there" he said closing the door as the couple walked in.
