Fifty-Seven

Ellie 

 As he introduced me to all of his family members, I soon felt at ease when I saw nothing but sincere smiles as they greeted me and shook my hand, some even hugged me. I was happy, they accepted me from what I could tell, and honestly, my biggest fear was that they wouldn't. But I see how absolutely wrong I was. The final stretch soon came up when I was led to one last final table. There was a man with black hair and light brown eyes sitting next to a woman with blonde hair, blue eyes and next to her was an older woman with eyes like Leo's and blonde hair like the girl next to her. I had no doubt that this was Leo's mother and sister.  

"Mama, Katie, this is Ellie." He smiled 

"Ellie, how nice to finally meet you. I am Miss Calvary." She remarks, reserved and respectful. She stands to shake my hand. 

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Calvary." I smile, successfully not stuttering. 

She let's go and I turn to the woman beside her about to say hi but she beats me to it first.

"Ellie! It is so nice to meet you!" She says excitedly 

She actually gets up to come around the table and hugs me. She's careful of her belly and I try to be too. 

"Whoops, don't want to smush the baby." She laughs. 

I chuckle back too, relieved as she let's go. I turn to the man that was beside Katie. 

"And this is my husband, Oliver." 

He shakes my hand too. 

"Pleasure to meet you, Ellie." He says in a booming voice 

"Nice to meet you too, Oliver." 

"Ellie, sit with us. We want to get to know you." Miss Calvary smiles 

"Okay." I smiled back, taking the seat closest to her. Leo sits next to me. 

"Leo, Oliver, why don't you two go talk to Josh over there? Oh, and ask Priah if she minds coming over here as well." 

"Yes Ma'am." They both say 

Leo gets up, but not before kissing my head and leaving. 

"So Ellie, how did you and Leo meet?" Katie asks 

"It's funny actually, I met him first when I was out with some of my friends on a Friday night. And literally bumped into him. I'm a bit of a klutz sometimes." I say shyly 

"Oh that's nothing, I fall a lot myself. I swear, Oliver wants to wrap me in bubble wrap to keep the little one safe in here. I don't walk around much." Katie smiles 

I give a small smile of my own. 

"Oh my son, he's just as clumsy as you are." Miss Calvary laughs
