Breakfast

Jessica's P.O.V.

I was shaken awake and I was angry about it. My eyes flew open and I just wanted to scream. I looked up at my aggressor and I wasn't surprised that it was  Danny.

He tells me, "Wake up we are going to be late".

My eyes go to straight to the clock and he is right. We have an hour to get it together.

Danny gives me a kiss on the cheek and makes his way to the window.

I get out of bed and head to the bathroom. I take a shower and I straighten my hair out. I put on a pair of black leggings, long brown boots, cream colored leg warmers, and a creamed colored oversized sweater. I wore a brown and cream scarf and brown satchel. I did light make-up because I felt like I wanted to look extra cute this morning.

I after I finished getting ready, I was tempted to lay back down. But I heard my phone chime so I picked it up.

"Hello"

"I'm outside"

"Ok, I'm on my way."

I walk outside and its freezing so I turn around and went to grab my black Pea-Coat.

We made it to the restaurant and found my Aunt and Uncle Henry sitting at a booth.

Danny and I slide into the booth.

I made my second appearance outside and Danny was waiting with the passenger side door open.

He looked cute...he had on a black trench coat and black pants with black dress shoes on as if we are about to go to church instead of breakfast.

He helps me into the truck, gently as if I could break, then closes the door behind me.

We went to a restaurant called IHOP.

I texted my aunt to let her know that we were in the parking lot.

She called me and told that when we got inside to the host know that we were looking for the Jameson table

Danny and I were led to the table. My aunt and uncle were actually at a booth and when they saw us they stood to give u hugs.

I sat on the inside of the booth in front of my aunt and Danny sat in front of Uncle Henry.

"How are you darling?," Aunt Justine asked me.

"I'm fine. Thank you. How long are you and Uncle Henry going to be in town?"

"I'm not sure actually. You know we are free birds."

Uncle Henry spoke up

"So are you going to introduce us to your friend?"

"Oh of course. This is Daniel. Daniel this is my Uncle Henry and my Aunt Justine. Uncle Henry is a Lawyer who has a practice here in the United States and also one over in France, Great Britain, and Ireland. Aunt Justine is a therapist and normally she has a practice where ever Uncle Henry has a firm. And obviously Uncle Henry is white, but my specifically he is of Irish decedent. "

Aunt Justine spoke up, "She forgot to include that I'm her favorite, most stylish aunt."

We all took a moment to laugh.

Shortly the waiter came around to take our order and then Uncle Henry cleared his throat to speak.

"Well its no surprise that we are excited for the two of you. When Justine came to the car last night and told me about you Danny, I told her, this young man has no idea of what trouble he is about to face with the Turner family."

Danny who was drinking his orange juice all of sudden gulped it down. He said, "what do you mean sir?"

Uncle Henry said, "well when I started dating Justine I wanted to meet her family immediately, but she kept dancing around the subject."

"It was all for good reason and you know it Henry. I already knew how my family was going to react and I was trying to prepare you for all the chaos that would come with our relationship," Aunty Justine said.

"Well she is right. I could barely get my foot in the door when I meet your grandparents Jessica. They turned us around immediately. Well, mostly your grandfather. But we have overcome it." Uncle Henry explained.

"And my sister was no better. She is just like dad so I was not surprised by her disapproval. But Uncle Henry and I are stronger because of it all and that's all that matters." 

"Aunt Justine, I brought Danny home to meet mom and dad, and mom could not even stand to look at him.  She still hasn't formerly met Daniel yet. I had no idea that our family is prejudice. It is honestly quite embarrassing."

Daniel spoke up to say, "So Mr. Henry, what did you do? How did you go about marring Mrs. Justine if you could not even meet her family?'

"Well I figured I had to try a couple more times. We arranged dinners for them, invited them over for family gatherings, just about everything really, but they still didn't budge.  So Justine and I really just turned to my parents for guidance. The were supportive and when we decided to get married most of my family made up the visitors."

I felt Danny grab my hand under the table and lace our fingers together. We continued our breakfast over a different topic and for the first time I was able to watch my Uncle and Aunty interact with one another. The way they look at each other. The way Uncle Henry's hand rest over Aunt Justine's on the table. How she would look at him with admiration whenever he spoke. I started to realize that this is was what I wanted with Danny and even more. But more importantly I started to realize that what my aunt and uncle have been through has been worth it all.
