"Yes," he said with enough conviction that they grew silent. "Mia, this is my family that I've told you about. Everyone, this is Mia. Can you tell me who is who?"

Mia looked at him and he kissed the tip of her nose. She smiled softly as he gently squeezed her hand. She looked at the men for a moment then said, "I apologize if I get your name wrong in advance."

"Don't be," the man with glasses similar to Owen smiled softly. "There are a lot of us, after all."

"Mr. Dakota Lee?" She asked and he smiled.

"Correct."

"Thank you, Sir," she said softly as Owen led her to the blonde-haired green-eyed man who was smirking. "Dr. Sean Green."

"Yep," he smiled, "I like her, Owen."

"I do too," Owen nodded as he led her to the Native American standing next to Sean.

"Mr. Axel Toma," she said and he nodded. Owen led her to the next man, he smelled of gun powder.
"Mr. Yevgeny Ravenstahl?" she asked nervously looking at his various tattoos on his arms.

"Da," he nodded, "I'm Raven."

"I apologize, Raven," she mumbled.

"Nyet apologize," he smirked.

"And this is?" Owen asked softly as he stood in front of the man wearing an orange shirt and had multiple rings and earrings on.

"Keep your mouth shut, it will be a dead giveaway," the man with blonde hair and brown eyes mumbled before putting his hand over the man's mouth.

"Orange...rude language...ah, Mr. Gabriel Coleman," she smiled proudly up at Owen who nodded.

"Very good, Darling, and the one next to him?"

"Mr. Lucian Taylor?" She asked and he beamed.

"You got it," he smiled. "Who's this grumpy Gus?" Luke asked wrapping his arm around the man dressed in all black and had snake bite lip piercings.

She looked at him for a bit then asked, "Mr. North Taylor?"

North grunted while Owen nodded. "Don't scare her," the man next to him shook his head. "She's nervous as it is. Don't mind him."

She looked at him curiously, "Greek?" the man nodded, "Mr. Silas Korba?"

"Very good," Silas smiled softly.

"Twins," She whispered as Owen led her to the two men standing next to Silas. She looked at them closely then pointed, "Mr. Corey Henshaw and Mr. Brandon Henshaw."

"Very good, Darling," Owen kissed her temple. "Can I ask how you knew?"

She smiled up at him, "You said Mr. Brandon Henshaw likes to work on cars and motorcycles and Mr. Corey Henshaw likes to work on computers. He has no scars on his hands," she said pointing at Corey, "and he has the same kind of cuts and scars I see from some of the mechanics I see at work."

"Ever so observant," Owen mumbled into her hair. "So proud of you."

"Which means this is Mr. Nathan Griffin," she said pointing at the man with red hair, "those bruises are typical of men I see coming in from mixed marital arts competitions."

"Yes Ma'am," Nathan nodded.

She walked over to the man next to Nathan and smiled, "One blue eye and one green eye, you must be Mr. Marc Weiland," she said confidently.

Marc chuckled, "Yep."

"Which leaves this to be Mr. Victor Morgan," she said pointing to the last man who smiled and nodded.

"I thought for sure she would get the twins mixed up," Luke chuckled.

"I knew she would get everyone correctly," Axel shook his head. "She's with Owen after all. Alright, let's eat before it gets cold."

"Go wash up, Darling," Owen gently commanded. "Down the hall, first door on the right."

"Yes Da...Sir," She quickly corrected before blushing and looking down at the ground.

"I have to say, Owen, I like seeing this side of you," Sean beamed as he hugged him. "I don't think I have ever seen you be so affectionate before outside of the room that is."

"Enough," Owen said straightening his tie.

"Can you keep her forever so we can always see this side of you?" Sean asked smirking. "Please?"

"I said enough, Dr. Green," Owen said turning his eyes on him which just made Sean chuckle.

"I like her," the rest of the family said.

"Owen?"

"In here, Darling," he said stepping into the hallway so she could see him. "I'm right here."

"Owen," she smiled as she hurried to his side. Owen led her to her seat and pulled the chair out for her. "Thank you," she smiled at up.

"You are welcome," he said as he sat next to her.

"How do you like your burger, Mia?" Marc asked, "And to drink?"

"Water, well done, no pink at all, with BBQ sauce, cheese, lettuce and pickles only," Owen said as he intertwined their fingers.

She leaned over and whispered in his ear, "thank you, Daddy."

He kissed her forehead, "Of course, Darling."

"So, what do you do for work, Mia?" Victor asked curiously. "All Owen told us was that you worked at a hospital and very well respected."

"I am a doctor, Sir," she said softly. "I work in the ER."

"Oh, wow, another doctor in the family," Sean beamed, "how excellent!"

"I have to agree," Victor smiled, "this family loves doctors."
