This part will be pretty long sorryy!

We got back from our trip a day ago. We got everything unpacked, everything on our list was finished except wedding planning.
"I have to pick up my mom and sister from the airport I will be back" Henry grabs his shoes.
"No I will go, why don't you just go to the White House and we will meet you there. Mom wants us to go dinner" I say "oh are you sure?" He asks I nod "alright I will see you soon" he kisses me bye and leaves.
Henry POV:
"Where's Alex?" Ellen asks "we went to pick up my mom and Bea" she nods "but hello sweetheart how are you" I repay the hug "am fine how are you?"
"Am doing great! Have I ever showed you June and Alex's baby pictures" she asks "no you haven't" we walk to the dining room
"well let me show you" she grabs a book "looks like I came in time." June says "hey bug! How are you" I ask "I've been great now you tell me how have you been having to live with my brother?" She giggles "It's been great, from the story's you would tell me I thought it would be bad but it's not" I smile.
"What's not bad?" Alex asks. "Henry! Hi darling oh hello" mom smiles "Catherine it's nice to finally to see you" Ellen reply's "Beatrice! How are you?" Ellen says.
"Philip I didn't think you would come?" I ask.
"We brought tickets from the airport right after." He says "so they didn't give you a choice" I laugh "no they did" he says "oh, well am gald you came" I smile "I wanted to see your house" he laughs "oh well you will see it tomorrow" I say he nods.
"Alright do we want something big or small?" Mom looks over and asks. "Me and Henry talked and we want something small, just family and friends" I say.
"Alright well, we are still looking for a venue but that's on you guys. Do you guys have a day or month planned?" Henry nods and adds "yes we were talking in June, not sure about the date though" both moms nod
"that's lovely, let's get the big things done first" Catherine says "we were hoping we could do it ourselves" I reply "yes they should do and pick what they like best and we can pay our part bye each handling something like me I will be in charge of cake just send me a picture of what cake you want" "thanks bug" she nods.

"Alright, well go ahead. We are here for help" they say and leave. "Well the first thing is we need a date and look for a venue" Henry nods "why not the 21 first it gives us a lot of time" Henry adds "I like it, so 21 first of June alright."
We stay to talk a bit longer then head home.

.

It's Wednesday morning, Henry still seems to be asleep. I go for a run. Of course feed David before leaving.
I shower and cook breakfast. I make a breakfast sandwich, with a tea on the side. "Morning" Henry yawns "hey there, breakfast is ready" I say "thank you" Henry smiles.
"Did yo- yes David already ate" he laughs but nods "okay, thank you." I give him a kiss and sit down "why were you up early?" He asks "I went for a run, did I wake you?" I ask.
"I felt you kiss my cheek but that's it" he says,
"Sorry" I say taking a sip of my coffee "it's okay, what's your schedule for today?" He asks
"Uh I have a meeting today and after that I am free, did you plan something?"
"Nope just asking though I am pretty sure my mom is coming over" he smiles "well make sure to say hi to them for me" Henry nods.
"Have you talk to your grandfather?" I ask he shakes his head "no.
Philip does say he talks about me a lot but I haven't" "well do you plan on inviting him to the wedding?"
"I don't know. A part of me feels like he wants nothing to do with me but the other part feels like I should as he is my grandfather but I don't know" I squeeze his hand.
"Don't stress yourself, do what's best for you. If you feel the need to rebuild your relationship then invite him but if you don't want to then don't, it's okay we all will understand"
Henry smiles.
Not his genuine smile but the smile to hide something. "I want to rebuild something that was there I want to see the good side of him I knew he had one I saw once, but I just replay everything that has happened since he found that I was gay and it stops me from wanting any of that wash away"
Henry says I get up and go to his side. "Hen that just means you're not ready, don't think too much about it forget about it. Once your ready you'll know" he nods
I give him a kiss on the cheek and give him a hug.
There a knock on the door "got it" I say Henry leaves to clean up "hey! Good morning" I say,
"Hi Alex how are you hon?" Catherine smiles
"I'm good how are you guys?" I say "oh honey we're good" "please come in sorry, mind the mess we just finished breakfast.
Have you guys ate?" I ask Bea nods "yeah don't worry, I love what you guys did with the place it looks great" Bea smiles "Henry did most of it" I laugh.
"Anything to drink? Please take a sit" "no we're good thank you" Philip replies I nod "hi" Henry says "hi sweetheart, how are you?"
"I'm good" Henry chuckles "Alex let me clean up you go get ready for your meeting" I check the time "oh fuck okay am sorry excuse me" I say.
Henry's pov:
"He's like that every morning?" Mom asks I shake my head "no he is on time every day but woke up a bit late this morning" I say "oh you guys know each other's routines" Bea asks "well he has one I don't."
"And you're familiar with it?" Bea asks "well yes I do live with my fiancé after all" she nods
"I like the place" Philip says "thank you, we spent while making it feel like home" I say.
Alex walk out in dress pants and a compression shirt with dress shoes, "am sorry but I must go, enjoy your day" Alex smiles.
"Bye darling I will see you later" I smile "be safe Alexander" he nods "bye love you" he grabs his car keys, say quick goodbyes. Gives me a quick kiss and hug and leaves.
"Do you stay home all day?" Mom asks "yup he doesn't want me to do anything, he wants me to stay home and relax" I sigh "that's cute" Bea smiles I shrug. "Sorry but I have to clean make yourselves at home" I say. I get up and start a on washing dishes.
Alex's pov:
"Your late" mom says "sorry I didn't check time am sorry" I say "what kept you busy?" She asks sitting down "I made Henry breakfast, and Catherine showed up so yeah" she nods.
"Miss President, lovely for you to join us" she nods "Mr. Diaz how are you?" He asks "am doing well and how about yourself" I ask "am doing good thank you for asking" I nod. "Morning" dad and Miguel say, mom looks shocked "Oscar what are you doing here?" Mom yells "mom calm down" I say she breathes and sits down.
"Alright well should we begin?" He asks and mom nods "okay well you have been giving ideas on upcoming every year event and here are some ideas for decorations and stuff like that" Miguel says and hands us all folders "Alex what do we think?" Mom asks
" I like it, but do you think all of this is necessary?" I ask Miguel nods "we think the media will love it all, we thought you will love it" he says "do we have time to change it?" I ask again they shake their heads "no we booked everything so there is no time in doing that, the King himself will be attending" Miguel says.
"alright well I guess that's it then" mom says. They nod "thank you, you all may leave" she says "congratulations on the engagement Alex" Miguel whispers and leaves. "Oscar why are you here" mom says "I can't visit?" He asks "no you can't you must tell me in time!" she yells "right but no one told me my OWN son was engaged!"
he yells back "Alex called you he texted you but you never bothered to answer so save it" she says in disbelief. "I have every right to see my kids, I had no idea you guys were going to Paris" he says "dad I literally told you,
you told me you would push things back so you could make it but never went" I say "Alex I wasn't told anything!" he yells
"don't yell at him!" Mom yells "both of you shut up, everyday it's fighting with each other am sorry I tried to get close to my father but he refuses to go because my mother is there!" I yell and leave. "Keys" I say he hands me my keys "how long?" I turn around "what?" I reply "how long have you been engaged?" Miguel asks "is he here?" He adds "we will not be having this conversation" I say. And leave.
