Taking Our Time:Our Story

Honey I'm HOME!

*Unknown POV*

On our way to the airport! YAY!

*Maia's POV*
"Hey Dez, can my dad stay in the guest bedroom?" I asked Destiny while she was doing the dishes
"Yeah sure. " she replied blankly
"Are you okay?" I asked her coming up beside her and sitting on the counter top
"Yeah, it's just... I'll talk to you about it later." She said
"Okay I'm going to call my dad and tell him he can stay here." I said and walked to the living room. I heard Destiny say okay. I wonder what's wrong?🤔

*On the phone with Maia's Dad*
"Hey Maia!"
"Hey Dad. Have you landed?"
"Yeah I'm walking to grab my luggage now."
"Okay I'll be there soon."
"Oh no need just send my the address and I'll come to you guys."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes I'll be there soon sweetie."
"Okay see you soon. Bye dad."
"Bye Mai."
Well that was..different.
"Hey Dez my dad is on his way." I tell her sitting on the couch next to her
"Okay" she replied blankly
"Are you sure your okay?" I asked already knowing the answer
"I think so." She replied
"Dez.." I started but she quickly interrupted
"Chase told me something and it got me wondering." She said quickly
Stunned I replied
"W-what did he say?" I asked still shocked. Destiny looked down and sighed
"Dez..what did he tell you?" I said a little more sternly
"He told me that maybe things happen for a reason. Like the reason why he's here and the reason I'm pregnant and that Dillon and I aren't together any longer." She replied looking at me
"He said that?" I asked
"Yeah.. and then I heard about his proposal idea and it just got me thinking."
"Thinking about what?" I asked shocked and confused
"About how things could've happened." She said
"Dez.." I started once more but was cut off again
"Think about it Mai. Think about how different thing would've been." She said frustrated
"I know Dez. I thought about it. But if things were different than we wouldn't be living together." I said with a small smile
"Yeah true." She said and returned the smile
"Come on let's make some dinner, yeah? My dad will be here soon." I said getting off the couch and walking to the kitchen with Destiny following behind.
*Destiny's POV*
"What should we make?"  Maia asked
"Hmm lets see." I said looking through our cabinets
"Do we still have that French bread?" I asked Maia
"Yeah we have a whole other loaf." She said with a laugh
"Okay well we can make spaghetti?" I suggested
"Yeah, that sounds good." Maia replied
"Okay grab the oregano and garlic salt." I said grabbing the noodles and canned sauce
"Okay here ya go!" Maia said with a smile
"Thank you!" I said while putting the sauce in the small pot
"Okay it'll be a few minutes for both the noddles and sauce to boil." I said sitting at the dinner table
"So how's everything at work?" Maia asked me
"Eh it's alright just we've gotten a lot more clients and so it's getting a little more busy but what can you do." I said
"Yeah us too. It's crazy this time of year." She said with a small laugh
"Yeah well it is summer." I said
"True." Maia said.
Maia and I were sitting and chatting while checking on the food to make sure nothing burns (even though you can really burn spaghetti but who knows) but soon there was knocking at the door.
"Who's that?" I asked Maia
"Maybe it's my dad." She shrugged and walked to the door with me following behind when Maia opened the door,  shock took over my body. Not only was Maia's dad there but also my parents!
"Destiny!"  My mom said
"Mom!" I said shocked
Thankfully I was wearing a hoodie so they didn't see my bump..yet.
"What a surprise! I didn't know you guys were coming!" I said giving my mom and dad a hug
"Well that's the point of the surprise!" My mom said
"Haha yeah I guess so... Um where's David?" I asked
"Oh he's coming he was on the phone with his "friend" ." My mom said with a little wink
"Right. " I smiled
"Well something smells good." My dad said
"Oh yeah we were making dinner." Maia said running to the kitchen
"Oh come on in I guess." I said leading them to the living room.
"How nice!" My mom said
"Yeah it's pretty nice." I smiled
"Please take a seat. You guys can turn on the tv or whatever. I'm going to help in the kitchen." I said
"Do you need any help?" My mom asked
"Oh no were good. Relax you guys must be exhausted." I replied and walked to the kitchen
"Maia." I whispered she was straining the noodles
"Dez." She whispered and sounded just as shocked as me
"Did you know the were coming?" I asked
"Absolutely not" she said
"Ugh! Why couldn't they have waited a few more weeks. " I said frustrated
"Have you told them?" She asked
"No, I wanted to wait till I found out the gender." I said
"Dez, you should've told them already"
"I know but I thought it would've been cute to hold up a girl or boy onesie and show it to them." I replied
"Yeah that would've been cute but still." She said
"How are we doing in here girls?" My mom said walking into the kitchen
"Good dinner is ready. Tell everyone to come please." I said with a smile
My mom returned the smile and walked to the living room to get everyone
"That was close." I said turning to Maia
"You need to tell them." Maia said sternly
"Yeah I know." I said
"Okay everyone! Let's eat!" Maia's dad says as they walk into the kitchen
"David!" Maia and I say as my "little" brother walks into the kitchen
"Come here you little rascal!" Maia says and grabs him into a hug
"Hey Maia." He says and hugs back
"Hey lil man!" I say
"Who you calling little?Your the little one" He says as he towers over me
"Whatever." I say and pull him into a hug
*Having Dinner*
"So how have you girls been?" Maia's dad asks Maia and I
"We're good. Just been busy with work and everything" I say
"That's good."  Maia's dad replies
"Destiny I heard that Chase moved here! Have you seen him around?" My mom asked
"Oh yeah.  We hangout a lot. Its good to see him." I say
"That's good" my mom smiled
"So how was your flight?" Maia asked
"Pretty good. Just long." Maia's dad replied
"How long are you guys staying?" I asked 

"About two weeks." My dad said

Great. My next appointment is in two weeks.

"Oh that's great!" Maia said 

"Yeah, that's amazing." I said trying not to sound so nervous

"Aw well I'm glad you guys are happy about." my mom said grinning widely 

"Of course we'd be happy about it." Maia said

"Yeah. It'd be good to catch up with everyone" I said

"Oh and one more thing!" My mom said 

"What's that?" I asked

"Dillon's family will be here by tomorrow" My mom smiled once again 

"Awesome!' I said as happy as I could 

Great not only do I have to tell my parents but I also have to tell Dillon's parents. Lord just let this be a dream please!

"Do you guys need help with the dishes?" my mom asked Maia and I 

"No we're good mom. Go relax. We got it." I said 

"Okay, if you need any help let me know." she replied and I nodded as she walked away

"We have to talk when they leave." I said to Maia

"Indeed." she replied

*After doing the dishes*

"Well girls, we're going to head out and get some sleep." My dad said

"Okay guys thanks for stopping by." Maia said 

"Oh we'll see you guys tomorrow." My mom said and gave us hugs  

"Right, see you guys tomorrow." I said as we said our goodbyes and watched them leave.

"Well I'm going to go to sleep too." Maia's dad said and gave us both hugs and walked to the guest room (aka Damon's old room) 

"Goodnight." Maia and I said

As soon as Maia's dad shut the door.  We rushed to my room.

"Dude! What am I going to do?" I asked

"I have NO idea!" she said 

"It's not funny Mai! I haven't told anyone of our parents! And I have to deal with mine AND Dillon's!" I said frustrated 

"Okay first off calm down your going to hurt the baby. Second of all. maybe this is a good thing cause you can tell everyone all at once!" Maia said 

"Yeah true." I said

"Don't stress to much about it okay? It'll be fine." Maia said reassuringly 

"Your right." I said 

"I know."  she smiled

"So you good?" She asked

"Yeah, I'll be good." I said with a smile

"Okay, I'm going to get some sleep. And you should too, we have a big day tomorrow." Maia said 

"No kidding." I said with a small laugh

"Goodnight Dez." Maia said giving me a hug

"Goodnight Mai." I said as she walked out of my room. Leaving me and my wild thoughts alone.
