25. Meet The Parents

Amelia's POV:

"Okay, this will be easy, my siblings are already here. My parents can be overbearing, don't be surprised if it already feels like they're judging you especially my dad. My mom will put on a facade and she will slightly gaslight about her cooking being bad so people with enjoy it more, just you know play along." Nyla and I stand in front of my parent's front door, I fix her collar as a way to stop myself from fiddling.

I'm nervous, last time I had Josiah around it didn't end well we actually had to leave early but this time Nyla and I will be staying here till the weeks over. Phoenix promised Nyla that he will handle whatever happens with the case and Buck ensured me that she'll keep a close eye on anything including Josiah but I don't how she'll do that.

"Hey, it's going to be okay, it will go well." She takes my hands and holds it in hers. "I know I know I'm just nervous." I swallow hard, but she just smiles and lands a kiss on my forehead. "You got my six and I got yours, we'll get through this, I'm good with people and great with parents." She winks making me roll my eyes. "Don't roll your eyes at me." She makes a face and I do it again.

"Do it again and I'll give you a real reason to roll them." She smirks and I feel myself blush, God the her truck is right there, we can do a quickie in the car right? I shouldn't be having these thoughts right now. "Whatever you're thinking save it for later." She chuckles and rings the doorbell. "I hate you." I mumble which she clearly heard and I hope she did.

"You guys made it!" Mariah appears behind the door all smiley, "Oh I love your dress, you're beautiful, I need to get one and Nyla you're looking good too a leather jacket is truly your style. I'm so happy you guys are here. I was worried I would have to hunt Amelia down. But come on in. Everyone is in the kitchen." She leads us and memories from my childhood come rushing back.

"Hey is that baby you?" Nyla points at one of the pictures on the wall which in fact is baby me in a red wagon. "How did you know?" I ask in surprise, usually people get baby me and Aurora mixed up. "You still have the same eyes." She smiles, "Look who's here!" Mariah announces and both of us turn with smiles seeing my family. "Auntie Amelia! Auntie Nyla!" Mason immediately gets down from his chair and bolts to us with a hug.

Aurora and Ashton greet us as well leaving just my parents left. "They're in a good mood don't worry." Ashton whispers close to me and I silently thank him. "Hi mom, hi dad." I walk up to the shorter woman and she grips me tight, "Hi honey, oh I've missed you." She then lets me go and rubs my cheek, I step beside her and I hug the taller broader man who know has gained his beer belly that he said he would never get.

"Hey kid, who's this?" He hugs me for a second before gluing his eyes onto Nyla who's still messing with Mason. God she's so good with kids. "Mom, Dad this is Nyla Whitlock, she's my-" I paused, fuck. "She's my girlfriend." I clear my throat and everyone turns towards me. "Girlfriend?" My dad questions in a deep tone and Nyla comes beside me placing her hand on the small of my back and the other out to shake hands with my dad.

"Yes Sir, pleasure to meet you." She tells him and I see a shift in his eyes, "A pleasure to meet you too." He responds his tone lighter and less grumpy, "And a pleasure to meet you too Mrs. Dawson." She reaches out to my mom but instead my mom pulls her into a hug! "Oh there's no need for a Mrs. Dawson, you can call me Ashley or mama Dawson, either one." My mom looks over Nyla's shoulder and gives me a thumbs up.

"Okay grandma can Auntie Nyla play with us now I want to show her my picture."  I see Mason push the two of them apart, "Not yet grandpa is going to have a talk with Nyla here, go play with your other siblings. Come with me Nyla." My dad stops him and Nyla eyes me, "Okay Sir, I'll find you later Mason." She tells him and it makes him smile.
