(I dont think I'll be reading over my chapters before publishing them bec I'm lazy, so if there are any errors, I apologise)

"Y/n you have no idea how much we've missed you," your mother said as she poured fresh, hot tea into the cute tea cups she had always kept in her cupboards. You, Claude, Onas, and your parents were sitting on the soft couches in the living room and eating sweets and pastries while drinking tea that was displayed on the coffee table."I've missed you too, both of you, I can't even explain it" you said before taking a sip of the hot tea.

Your father took short glances at Claude who sat next to you the whole time, Claude noticed but pretended that he didn't notice. "Does Florica still live here?" you asked while looking at the front door, then back at your mother. "She does, she's just working at the moment, she'll be back soon my dear don't you worry," your mother said in her soft and gentle voice. She put her teacup on the table before turning her head towards Claude "so, you must be Judge Claude Frollo, it's an honour to have you here" she said, trying to be as polite and respectful as she possibly could. Claude smiled kindly at her "oh, please call me Claude, and it's nothing, I just wanted to be here for y/n, she always talked about her family, and now I get to meet you". Your father sat up straight before joining in "so, Claude, I hear that you are the Minister of Justice in Paris." he said in a tone of suspicion. "Yes sir, since 2012" Your mother raised her eyebrows "wow, that's amazing" Claude nodded with a chuckle.

"So how long have you two been together?" you and Claude looked at each other before answering "since early November" (tbh I don't even know how many months reader and Claude have been together so I'm just gonna guess)
you answered with a smile. Your mother smiled and brought her hands to her cheeks "how adorable, I'm happy you've found someone y/n, I've always wondered if you've found a boyfriend, isn't that right Elijah?" (if you don't want to use your dad's name I put one here. like reader's mother's name is Panella, bc I'm using family members from that fic so it's easier)
With a hum, your father nodded in agreement, you could quickly tell he wasn't so sure about Claude's age.

"So what have you been doing all these years y/n?" your father asked, sitting forward, "well I got an apartment with my friend Esmeralda, we both attend the same University, I'm studying to be a lawyer, just like Mama, oh I also got a cat, djali". Your parents smiled when hearing all of this, your mother was glad that you wanted to be a lawyer like her. As you and your mother were speaking, your father saw Claude pull out the crucifix Necklace that hid under his white turtle neck while he spoke to Onas. "Your Crucifix." your father suddenly said to him, Claude looked at him with a hum, looking down at the cross that wrapped around his neck, then back at your father. "Are you a Christian?" your father asked, squinting his eyes slightly to emphasize the question, Claude shook his head politely before answering him "no, I'm a Catholic" your mother exhaled in relief, and so did your father.

"That's good, you go to church often?" he asked, squinting his eyes the same way. "Yes, every time I can, I do, I'm good friends with the Archdeacon of Notre Dame" your mother seemed surprised "how lucky are you to be so close to that beautiful Cathedral, it must be so nice and clean, unlike the church here" she was pleased that Claude was a Religious Catholic, so was your father.

Some time had passed and you and your parents were still catching up, they asked questions about your life as you did theirs, and they asked questions about Claude and his life too. Your conversation was interrupted by the doorknob of the front door being turned aggressively as someone grunted from the other side, the sound of keys jingling could also be heard. Your dad got up to open the door, but before he could even reach the door, it flung open. And your younger sister rushed in with paper bags of groceries in her arms, gasping loudly when she laid her eyes on you. "Y/n!!" She gave the bags to your father and ran over to you as you stood up to wrap your arms around her. "Oh, Florica!" You said as you Held her close, keeping her in your tight embrace. You could hear the sound of her sniffling near your ear, you leaned back and wiped her tears, and she chuckled as you did so.
