This was supposed to be timed with Christmas time, but it didn't happen :) so it is here now. 

-------------------------

"Why did you make me invite him?" Zion asks Zane.

"Because you are dating him." Zane says. And because you might love him.

"We haven't been dating that long for him to have to meet our parents."

"We want to meet him." Their mom says walking into the kitchen. "I want to know what kind of man he is."

"Mom, you could have met him another time."

"Christmas is the best time for them to meet him." Zane says.

"Yes, besides from what Zane has told me I'm curious to meet him already." Their mom states.

"And he will fair well." Their dad says.

"Dad, don't scare him away."

"I wouldn't do that."

"Sure, you wouldn't, dad."

Their dad smiles before he kisses Zion on his forehead. "Everything will be fine. Stop worrying. Besides, I want to know who has your heart."

"He doesn't have my heart." Zion states.

"If that's what you are telling yourself." Their dad states. I've seen how you light up talking about him. He thinks as he remembers their conversation.

"It's true." Zion replies.

"Yes, stop worrying. Now eat your breakfast." Their mom says. "I agree with your dad." She adds.

Zion chokes on his coffee.

"Did you both sleep well?" Zane asks.

"Yes, thanks. Where is Sofia?" Their mom asks.

"She is showering."

"So when is Mike and his parents coming over?" Their dad asks.

"At 4pm." Zion replies.

"So we have more than enough time to make dinner." Their mom says.



"They are here." Their mom exclaims.

"Mom, I'm getting the door!" Zion exclaims. Zion opens the door to find Mike with his parents behind him. "Hi." Zion says catching his breath from the sprint.

"Hi." Mike says giving him a quick kiss.

Zion blushes. "Come inside."

"Oh, Zion meet my mom, Helen, and my dad, Jonathan. Mom and dad, meet Zion." Zion makes eye contact with Helen before he extends his hand to her. She ignores the gesture and pulls him into a hug.

"Nice to meet you. He talks about you a lot." Helen smiles; her smile is similar to Mike's.

"Mom!" Mike says; his cheeks tinting with red.

"Now, son. He has a right to know." Jonathan states. "It is nice to meet you at last."

Zion nods. "It's nice to meet you too."

Jonathan gives him a hug before he says, "He is a beautiful." Turning to Mike, he says, "I can see why you like him."

"Dad!" Mike exclaims his face reddening.

Zion blushes and chuckles. He has never seen Mike blush as much.

"I should have left you both at home by yourselves." Mike mumbles.
