APRIL 30TH, MUNSON AND EMERSON RESIDENTS

Y/N POV
Today is Saturday, which means me and gareth are visiting his parents. Ive been there countless times and they've been nothing but the sweetest but my brain doesn't give me a break.

I'm in the bedroom getting ready and gareth is downstairs waiting for me, i put on my outfit, do my makeup and curl my hair (optional). Gareth and his family always say it doesn't matter how i look but i can't convince myself otherwise. I head downstairs and am met with gareth in a t shirt and jeans "ready?" "Oh." I take another glance at gareth's outfit  feeling a sudden prick of shame "you look beautiful, i already know what you're thinking, stop" "I'm fine, lets go gare" We leave the house and gareth opens the car door for me, i get in and he closes it behind me. He goes to his side, gets in and drives. I didn't even realize as my thoughts clouded my conscience but my leg was shaking, gareth puts his hand on my low thigh stopping it from bouncing "darling, relax what are you so nervous for?" "i don't know, I'm just overthinking you know me." I look down at my hands feeling my heart drop into my stomach. The car comes to a halt at a red light and gareth turns to look at me, he takes my hand slightly squeezing it. "Angel, you have nothing to worry about. They love you and they always will" "yeah, your right. I'm sorry" "its normal dear don't worry"

He kisses my hand before putting his hand on the wheel and driving, i smile to myself and look out the window as we drive. When we arrive gareth opens the car door for me and helps me out, he holds my hand as we walk up to his parents house. He knocks on the door and i hold onto the flowers i got his mother, it was like a tradition i always got his mother flowers

Ms. Emerson answers the door and her face lights up when she sees me looking at her and smiling "my baby!" "hi mom-" "not you dear-" Gareth's mom throws her arms around you and kisses your cheeks leaving pink lipstick marks on them "Mama Emerson, So nice to see you again" "you too dear, come, come in" I come in gareth behind me "i got you flowers!" I state the obvious "you didnt have to! Ah, Lillies my favorite!" "i hope you like it" "it's beautiful darling thank you so much!" She gives you another kiss and goes to set the flowers in a vase

"ah, y/n nice to see you darling you look beautiful" "thank you Mr. Emerson, good to see you too" Mr. Emerson gives you a warm hug and then you hear a familiar voice "y/n/n!" "Meg, hi dear" meg runs to me leaping into a hug, i cradle her around and then take a seat sitting her on my lap. We talked for a little before i heard my name "i missed you so much, i just finished watching ghostbusters!" "oh wow, you brave brave girl, Did you get scared?" "a little but i just closed my eyes when i got scared, like you told me!" "Good job pip"

"y/n darling, can you help me out in the kitchen and make a salad?" "Yeah, no problem" i set meg down next to gareth and walk into the kitchen

DURING DINNER
"so, gareth darling. When are you planning on proposing to this lovely lady" "Pardon?" Gareth chokes "shes right son, i mean i think its about time" "Don't you join in on this papa" Me who was chewing and playing with my food chuckles at the comment "what? Do i still make you nervous gare?" I flirt "what does that have to do with anything.." "your funny, love. Its been five years not five days, don't you think you should be committed by now? we live together" i say laughing a bit "lord have mercy on me" he mutters sinking into his chair "we are only being honest" Mrs. Emerson speaks yo

I stand up putting my fork and knife on my empty plate picking it up along with my empty glass before bending down and kissing gareth's cheek "all I'm saying is, mothers always right" i wink and walk over to the sink and putting my dishes in before turning on the faucet. I wash my dishes and set them out to dry, i walk back over to gareth and his parents standing behind gareth and putting your hands gently on his shoulders "well i think we should get going, its getting dark and gareth is getting grumpy"
"i am not "getting grumpy". "your right, meg is already sleeping in the couch"

I smile and take my jacket as well as my bag and then put my shoes on, gareth grabs his keys and goes to the car warming it up before i get in "stay safe dear, it was lovely as always to see you" she says tightly hugging me and rubbing my arms once she lets go "you too Ms. Emerson, dinner was delicious as per usual. We'll make sure to visit as soon as possible" "have a good night, drive safe kiddo" "thank you, good night" Mr. Emerson hugs me tightly and Ms. Emerson gives me a kiss on the cheek before i head out getting into gareth's car

"ready to go?" "yep, i'm really tired so I'm ready to plop into bed" i smile leaning over and kissing his cheek. Gareth smiles and drives off, i have my hands in my lap looking out the window as i watch the rain drops run down the window. It started pouring a few minutes later, i hear the pitter patter of the rain on the roof of the car and it soothes me.
