    I hit Brendon with a pillow to wake him up, and he didn't move. "Bren! We're going to meet my family, remember?" I hit him again.

    "Yeah, totally," Brendon lied straight through his teeth.

    "I'm going to shower, start getting ready," I leaned down and kissed Brendon's cheek.

    After getting ready I couldn't be more excited. Ellis and Eddie were my best friends growing up, until they went to college. Only Ellis kept in touch.

"Come on!" I dragged Brendon out the door.

Brendon was driving to the restaurant we're meeting up at and I couldn't shut up about it. "I haven't seen Porter in four months, Brendon! You're going to meet Porter!"

"I know," Brendon laughed.

We pulled into the restaurant and I basically jumped out of the car. "Ellie!" Brendon laughed.

"Get used to it; my family will attack you with hugs," I laughed.

"Uh, okay-" Brendon was interrupted when my family attacked us.

Ellis hugged me the tightest.

"Oh my god let me look at my Ellie's face!" Mom squealed.

Mom looked at my face and smiled. "You look beautiful!" Mom smiled.

"Ellie!" Dad cheered, hugging me tightly. "We're so proud of you."

I hugged my dad tightly; he's basically the man who raised me, my mom was always working.

    Natalia, Eddie's wife, had open arms, and I hugged her tightly.

    "Port wants to see his auntie," Natalia smiled, grabbing Porter from Eddie.

    "Porter!" I put my hands on the sides of my face. "Oh my god he's so big!"

    Natalia handed Porter to me, and I immediately hugged him. "Oh my god Porter!" I squealed.

    Eddie hugged me and Porter, smiling uncontrollably.

    I looked over at Brendon and saw him laughing with my dad.

    I walked over to Brendon holding Porter. "Oh my god," Brendon covered his mouth. "Now I understand why you can't stop talking about Porter."

    "Want to hold him?" I smiled and Brendon nodded.

    Brendon took Port from me, and held him. Porter looked at Brendon and cracked a smile.

    "That's Uncle Brendon, Porter," Eddie introduced Port to Brendon.

    "Hi buddy," Brendon smiled.

    We all sat down at the table after Brendon handed Natalia Porter.

    "So Brendon, what's your interest in my daughter?" Dad asked and the whole family immediately scolded him.

    "DAD!" All us kids yelled, including Ellis and Eddie.

    "Wilson!" Mom scolded.

    Natalia was laughing with Brendon.

    "Oh shut it!" Dad laughed. "Brendon?"

    Brendon was still laughing.

    I covered my face, and I knew that Ellis and Eddie was glaring at the two.

    "Define interest," Brendon replied.

    "Why do you like her?" Dad responded.

    "There's too many things to say; her-"
