His Girl.

Chapter 15.

It took a while to cook dinner and get everyone settled in.  But when it was time for everyone to sit down and eat together, it was all worth it.  Everyone seemed to be getting along nicely, so I was pleased.  My sisters had loved Ryan so far which was perfect.  They could vouch for him if dad went crazy over protective.  If my sisters didn't like Ryan, then it would be killer.  So having them all on my side was great.

"Freya, what's your favorite thing about New York so far?" Patty asked as we were gathered around the dinner table.

"I don't know, I'm really liking my school.  And I'm very much liking my handsome boyfriend, I think I'm liking all the memories I'm making the most.  Ryan was basically my first everything, so that's a memory no matter what I'm always going to have.  So the memories of everything here are my favorite, not just something." I say kissing Ryan's cheek.  He blushes then turns to me and gives me a quick kiss.  I smile into it, he kisses my cheek and then we go back to eating and listening to the conversation.

"That was a very sappy answer." My dad comments slightly after the conversation.

"Yes, but I love him.  Ryan's my first love, and I'm very much head over heels for him.  So I'm allowed to be sappy." I respond leaning on Ry.

"You do love him a lot don't you?" My dad asks taking another bite of food.

"Yeah, he respects everything about me.  He doesn't push me to do anything I don't want to do.  And he's super sweet." I say with a smile.

"Freya, are you a chief?  This meal is so amazing!  Thank you for dinner!" Patty says with a big smile.

"I'm not a chief, but thank you.  And anything for you, we want this to be the best Christmas on record." My smile grows bigger as I take another sip of sparkling cider.  Most of the people at this table can't drink so we bought drinks that everyone could have.  And some stuff for the older people.

"I'm sure it will, at least for me as a mother it will.  Not every mother gets to see her son in love." She says her warm smile calming my nerves.

"Mom, don't get all goopy on me." Ryan says blushing.

"I think it's cute." I say poking him.

"It's not cute to be embarrassed." He says shoving his head into his hands.

"Ryan, if I wanted to embarrass you I would.  This is me telling the girl who you love that I'm happy to see you happy.  You call me after every date to tell me how much you love her." Ryan's face turns another shade of red as he sinks his head even more into his hands.

"Wait he calls you guys after our dates?" I ask feeling my heart melt at how cute this man is.

"Yes.  Every one.  He just tells us how it goes, and that he loves you.  And stuff like that." Sean says after he wipes his mouth.

"Please stop, she wasn't supposed to know that." Ryan says picking his head up.

"Why?  I think it's adorable!" I say kissing his cheek gently. "You're a romantic, sensitive, sweet, family oriented, caring guy.  It doesn't make me think less of you.  I think it's just adorable." I say leaning my head up to give him another quick kiss.

"Yes, but I don't want you knowing that I tell them all that.  What if one time we have a bad date, and I tell them about it.  I don't want you to know that I tell them all of this!"  He says blushing. 

"Babe, I don't care.  Bad date good date, we've had plenty of both.  We always work it out and I tell my family about bad dates too.  Basically because I want comfort after a bad date, but either way we always work it out." I say with another smile.  I loved how close Ryan was with his family, we both wanted children so the fact he was this family oriented was amazing to me.

"See your girlfriend doesn't mind it.  Don't make me tell baby Ryan stories." Patty says smiling. 

"Baby Ryan stories!  I want to hear baby Ryan stories!" I say laughing at Ryan burying his head into his hands.  I pat Ryan's back and kiss his cheek. 

"Freya, while I would love to tell you that.  I wouldn't want to embarrass Ry that much, he'd never forgive me."  Patty says patting Ryan's hand.

"I don't want my girlfriend to know my baby stories!  It's embarrassing!" He says with a groan.      The rest of the dinner goes like this, us just laughing together as a family.  I'm not sure when I've been happier, but if I ever have been.  It wasn't recently, I loved my new family and my old one.  This was going to turn out to be the best Christmas on record for me, I felt like I had a complete family again.  And that's a feeling that I wouldn't trade for the world.
