An Undead Surprise

Dinner With The Ragan Family(5)

Asia groaned and rolled over in her bed, her arm stretched out to feel around for George. All she felt was an empty space and cold blankets. A soft sigh slipped past her lips as she threw back the covers and trudged downstairs to the kitchen. The intoxicating smell of pancakes and fresh coffee filled her nose, her eyes fluttered shut for a moment at the sweet smell. "Good morning babe." She muttered as she continued into the kitchen and sat down at the table.

A deep chuckle answered her followed by, "Morning Asia."

Her eyes flew open and landed on Dylan's face. He smiled a goofy grin at her. She glared back at him and asked where George had gone.

"Relax he went to go get you some coffee from Starbucks. I was on my way here anyway so I let myself in and made you guys breakfast." He said simply.

"Whatever." She mumbled and let her head fall onto her arms. Soon after Dylan had finished the pancakes George walked in with two cups of coffee from Starbucks. She smiled gratefully at him and took her cup.

"Thanks Dyl." George said and took a steaming cup of coffee from him.

"Black like your soul." Dylan joked, George glared at him before turning to Asia.

"Morning babe." She repeated, Dylan smirked and sat down across from her.

"Did you sleep good?"

She nodded and pulled back her hair back into a loose bun. She got up from the table and grabbed the syrup from the cabinet. When she sat back down George and Dylan has already scarfed down majority of their pancakes. She rolled her eyes and poured the syrup onto her plate.

"So what are you going to do today?"

George got up from the table and put his plate in the sink. He shrugged his shoulders and glanced over at Dylan. "We were going to work out some kinks on the some new songs but Jorel is on vacation with his sisters, Matt and the other guys all have something planned." He shrugged again. "I think I'll just call my mom and tell her about Riley."

"I want to meet her." Asia said casually.

George looked back at her in shock. Yes he was happy that Asia was willing to meet his daughter, but why the sudden change of heart? Last night she was so hell bent on trying to convince him that Riley wasn't his, and now she wants to meet her? Was she on her period? Is that why she was so moody and back and forth about this?

"Really? You want to meet her?"

"Yes." She said getting up from the table. "I can see now that she's very important to you so that makes her important to me as well. I really am sorry for how I acted last night, it was just a big shock for me. That's all." She finished, George smiled and looped his arms around her waist. He gained a little bit more respect for her now that she had apologized and was being supportive of him.

"I know, it shocked me too." He chuckled and rested his chin on her head.

"Besides, I think it'll be a good thing for me to meet her and her mother."

"Well.. How about we start slow and invite my parents over for dinner to tell them first. I don't want to move too fast with this, this is something that has to be done in small doses."

"Sounds fine with me." She said and headed upstairs.

After Asia had left the kitchen George ended up helping Dylan clean up the kitchen before calling his mother.

"How do you think that they'll take it?" Dylan asked.

"Don't know. Hopefully like adults and not treat me like I'm sixteen again."
