Chapter 6:
"Are ya nervous?" Dallas asks as we make our way to Uncle Zach house. He wanted to have the dinner at his house because his wife wanted to cook what he called a thanks giving dinner and I guess you can't up and move those.
I was kinda iffie about it at first but he promised no one uninvited would show up. So I agreed and im really nervous now. I look at Dallas and he sighs resting his hand on my thigh. "Don't be nervous baby ya dad will be here."
"And I have you." I say picking his hand up to give it a small kiss.
"That to." he mumbles with a smile. Dallas parks the truck in my uncles Drive. It took an hour to get here from the ranch. The ranch is about thirty minutes out of town and then my uncle live in another city so it just added more time to the drive.
"Finally. I thought we'd never get out." I sigh opening the door. Dallas frowns when I get out and I smile at him laughing. He thinks he has to open the door for me all of the time but I don't let him. It's very sweet but I feel I have arms and I can do it myself.
When he gets over his fit he comes over to me and pulls me into his side. "Ready?" he asks and I nod as we walk to the front door. Dallas knocks and we wait a few seconds before it opens to a cheery blond lady. She's an older lady but if you don't look at her to long you'd think she was in her late twenties.
"Oh gosh you are just beautiful." She gushes pulling me into a hug.
My eyes widen like saucers because I didn't expect her to do that. I'm still not comfortable with everyone especially when I have not met them yet but im working on it. God has helped me not to be as afraid as I use to be. "Thank you." I say kindly when she lets me go. Quickly incase she changes her mind I grab Dallas's hand and press tightly into his side.
"I'm Heather your Uncle Zach's wife." She says ushering us into the house.
"I'm Avlon and this is my husband Dallas." I introduce and she holds out her hand for Dallas to shake. He doesn't shake it though he opens up his free arm and gives her a hug. "You have a very lovely house." I inform her looking around. The house is really nice and everything looks expensive.
"Thank you very much sweaty." she says kindly as we follower her through tuns of rooms. "Everyone is already in the dining room."
"Sorry ta have kept y'all waitin." Dallas says and I nod in agreement.
Heather shakes her head and looks back at us with a kind smile. "We weren't waiting we were all excited you were coming so we came over early to all be here when you got here."
"Oh." I mumble with a shy smile. I don't want to be the center of attention all night that would just be uncomfortable.
Heather opens the dining room door and all of the talking stops making me more nervous that I was before. They all turn to look at me making me shy into Dallas more. The first person I spot is daddy and I smile gratefully at him. He gives me a big smile of his own and stands opening his arms for me. "Baby Girl how have you been today?"
Leaving Dallas side I go over to him giving him a big hug. "I have been fine daddy. How have you been?" We just talked this morning but I guess he likes hearing how I am.
"I have been wonderful." he says using the big words he loves.
After we pull apart I lean down and give Zoe a quick hug making her smile and give me a kiss on the forehead. "I am happy you came." she praises and someone grunts making me look up.
Zach is behind me with a big smile on his face making me give him one back. "Avlon, we are all happy you decided to come."
"I'm happy to be here but you have to give some credit to my husband. If it weren't for him." I shrug because if it wasn't for him I would not have even thought of being here.
"Can I have a hug?" he ask and I smile walking into his open arms. "I am happy your husband came along also. Walter talks highly of you." he says to Dalla when he releases me. Dallas nods with a kind smile and shakes his hand.
"Walter is a great man." Dallas praises and I laugh looking to my daddy. He has a prod smile on his face as he looks up to Dallas.
"That he is." Zach says in agreement. "These are my children." He says turning back to me and I smile at the people sitting at the table infront of me. They all have dark hair like Zoe and Zach besides for the girl that has hair like her mothers.
"Hi i'm Avlon." The youngest boy Maleek looks up from his DS and does a curt nod before going back to his game. Drew gives me a friendly smile and wave from his seat and I can since that hes a little shy.
Megan on the other hand gets out of her seat with a big smile on he face. I look down to her belly and frown. I'm not upset im just confused. Why can she have a baby but Zoe and I have troubles. Dallas told me that it probably ran in our family or something but im starting not to believe that because here she is twenty years old and ready to bust.
She gives me the best hug she can without squashing her stomach into me. "My husband couldn't be here and he sends his apologies." she says with a friendly smile and I nod.
"Next time then. This is my husband Dallas." I introduce and Dallas gives her hand a kiss probably not wanting to have a chance of harming the baby by giving her a hug.
"Well come, come lets eat." Heather says happily ushering us all to the table. Dallas and I have a seat beside dad and Zoe waiting patiently to get served. When we get all of our food we bow our heads and thank god for the meal we are about to receive and everything we have ever been blessed with.
"Is this your first baby?" I ask Megan when everyone starts talking amongst themselves.
"No, Tucker's with grandpa. He was acting up so I dropped him off." she explains with a small giggle.
Ignoring the grandpa comment I ask with a smile "How olds Tucker?"
"Just turned three two weeks ago." she says proudly and I can imagine being proud when your baby starts to grow up I can also imagine the pain of them not being your baby anymore.
"That's great. Is he still running around and getting into stuff?" Houston and May had the worst time with little Edward. Everything you turned around he knocked something over or had something non edible in his mouth.
"Actually he never really had his terrible twos. I'm hoping his three's aren't terrible." she laughs and I chuckle along with her because how she explained he was acting today his threes are going to be terrible.
Have you found out the sex of your baby yet?" I ask really curious.
Megan nods happily and says "Finally a girl."
"Aw you get to put pretty flowers in her hair and dress her in all pink." I sigh wistfully really wishing that God would let us have a baby that was alive and not dead when he/she was delivered.
We're quiet for a moment because I don't know what else to ask her I have already asked so much. Megan opens her mouth and ass the question I knew was coming from someone soon or later. I guess now when im prepared is better than later when im caught off guard. "So Avlon when are you going to meet Grandpa?"
"I don't really know yet." I mumble because I may not have been caught off guard and I may have thought I had an answer but I don't think I do.
Dallas grabs my hand underneath the table an gives it a small squeeze. "It was a huge step for her to come here tonight. She was very nervous because she had never met any of you before and she did not know how you would act. She needs time but your grandfather will be the first to know when she decides to meet him." He doesn't say it in a rude way he says it in a way that says he is very concerned for the well being of his wife.
"We completely understand but we are greatly happy you both decided to come over." Uncle Zach says looking between both of us with a very serious expression on his face letting us know he is not kidding, not at all.
