Baby Boom || Liam Payne <Complete>

Chapter 32: Meet The Payne's

"Liam, I'm highly nauseous right now. I don't think you should be playing around like that, babe." I say to Liam as he playfully speeds up the road, seeing as there's no cars and he just wanted to make us laugh. Jakob found it funny, but my whole surroundings were spinning so I didn't really laugh at his joke.

"Jess, don't be nervous love. I promise they'll love you. They won't even think one negative thought. What's there to even say bad about you?" He counters as he slows the car and reaches over to grab my hand that was clung tightly to my chest. Just his touch could unravel my white white fist. It's amazing to me, about the effect he has on my body.

"They could easily judge me Liam!" I say stressfully. "I'm not perfect, heck, I'm a long way from it. They can say I'm fat or just an attention seeker. I don't know them!" Liam laughs as I vent out my fears and thoughts out loud.

"Exactly love. You don't know them and I do. They haven't judged all the girls I've brought home with me before. So I don't see why'd they judge you now."

I look at him with a raised eyebrow. He seems to have caught on to my suspicion. "Uh, not that there was tons of girls anyway." He says nervously and uncomfortably. I giggle a bit, his reaction giving me a sense of relaxation and distraction from my recent overwhelming thoughts.

"You know I'm messing with you darling. I trust you." I say as I grab his hand back in mine and lean over the car console to kiss him real quick. He visibly relaxes into the kiss and he smiles as we pull back. Jakob giggles in his carrier behind Liam's seat and I can see him waving his favorite teddy, Stuffy, around. I laugh and focus back on the road.

As you've probably figured by now, we're on our way to Liam's family home back in Wolverhampton. The boys had all left yesterday on Christmas Eve to branch out and go visit their families for the holidays. Perrie and Eleanor went with their men to drop by but then would go visit their own family afterwards. Liam, Jakob, and I went to go pick out decorations for the tree we had been able to get last minute a few days ago. The theme had been determined by Liam, in which he wanted a "Winter Wonderland" tree. He said it would be cool to walk into my apartment and it be able to feel like a real winter Christmas. At this, I scoffed at because in order for Christmas to be real, it doesn't need to be winter. We decorated yesterday and I made us dinner, keeping to my plans about just us having a meal before actually doing something on Christmas Day. Which, unfortunately for me, he ended up doing something. All that leads up to the present. Liam resigned all his presents from him and I, which I felt terribly guilty for considering he got both his sisters and his mother Tiffany Co. bracelets and necklaces. We decided to just just open my presents at my flat, Liam's included, and open Jakob's at Liam's house. 

To say I'm scared it as understatement. It's more like I'm going to shit my pants. What else would be your first reaction when you go to meet your boyfreind's family? And as the cherry on top, I have no family to discuss with his family! Don't the boyfriend's family always end up asking about your life's background at the awkward dinner in the movies? I would say the same rules apply to me and every girlfriend out there. So yeah, I'm allowed to be freaking out over this.

As I look out the window and the more and more green land I see we pass by within the passing minutes only brings me to the fear of reality of me having to face these people that have a great possibility of disliking me.

"I wish you would've been the least bit excited to meet my family." I hear Liam mumble. My heart pulls and stomach churns with guilt. I sigh.

"Liam, I never said I wasn't excited to see them." I reason.

"Well if you are you have a funny way of showing it."

"I am excited! I mean, I get to meet your sisters! And if we get along we can talk about all the girly things that you obviously wouldn't talk to me about." I nudge him and try to bring the least bit of positive energy back into the car. To my satisfaction, the side of his lip pulls up into a smirk.

"So you are excited?"

"Yes!" I say with a grin, but you would probably think I really am not. Which is understandable because part of me isn't. However, part of me is. I have to see the greater good in this situation for Liam's sake.

"So, you're ready to meet them?" He asks, this time with more enthusiasm and giddiness. Though I don't know why.

"Yes Liam! Yes I'm excited and I'm ready to meet them!" I say mock exasperated. His grin transforms into a devilish, sly smirk as he looks at me while putting the car in park.

"Good, cause we're here." I gasp and look out the window only to face a good sized house and see Liam's family all huddled together with a sign that reads, "We missed you Liam!" To see that tiny gesture from his family and see how much they missed him added to the guilt. Liam just wanted me to be okay with meeting his family, which I am now, because it'd make it easier for him to know that I feel comfortable around his family. And he could enjoy the time he has with them because he doesn't see them on a regular basis. Only then is when I realize my selfishness.

God, I'm the worst girlfriend ever.

I turn to Liam with the biggest smile on my face and say, "As long as we're together in this because you know how big of a step I'm leaping just to meet you on the other side of the pond, love." I tell him honestly. He takes my hand in which he was holding, brings it to his lips and kisses it.

"Together." He repeats. I giggle and nod my head towards the front lawn where his mother, father, two sisters, and a little boy wait for him.

"Go get 'em." Hearing me say that, and to see the reaction from him gave me a fuzzy feeling in my chest that spread all throughout my being again. His face lit up as he let go of my hand and struggled to get his belt off, before opening his door and sprinting out to meet his family.

I watched the scene unfold before me. Liam's father laughs and embraces his son in a bear hug before letting his mom take her turn. She throws her arms around her son, in thr proudest way possible before breaking down in a series of happy sobs. I can see Liam look back at me from his position in comforting his mom and mouth, "Meet the Paynes" to me causing a laugh to escape my lips. 

I sigh and let my head fall back on the headrest as I stare at the windshield. I can hear Jakob's murmurs in the backseat.

"Ready or not Jake.... here we come." I say as I unbuckle my seat belt, open the door, and prepare myself for something I don't think I'd ever be prepared for.
