I pull the tiny body closer as someone knocks on the front door and I groan, willing them away.
Eliza shifts under me as Sofia whines in her sleep. I sigh and force my eyes open when the knocking continues.
"All right. All right, I'm coming" I snap once I've stood up without waking my two girls up. Sofia curls into Eliza as I brush my hair out of my face and head over to the door.
I pull it open, covering my mouth when I yawn.
"Mom?! What are you- Hey Momma" I'm pulled into a bone crushing hug and I smile, accepting my mothers warm embrace.
"Hi Darling"
"What are you doing out this way?"
"We wanted to surprise you" My dad says as he hugs me.
"Hey Dad" I kiss his cheek before pulling back. "Sofia and Eliza are asleep"
"Eliza?"
"My girlfriend. We all fell asleep watching Harry Potter"
"Ahh, that's why you look like you just woke up"
"Because I did. Come in" They step inside and I shut the door. "Coffee?"
"We can come back later"
"No, it's OK. Eliza has work soon anyways"
"Then Coffee sounds good, thanks" I nod, turning into the kitchen.
"So, what really brings you out this way?"
"You know why" I sigh and start the coffee machine, turning back to my Mom.
"Do you come here to see me or him?"
"Both Sweetheart"
"Really? Because the last time you came other than to go see him was my wedding. 6 years ago"
"Arizona-"
"No Mom. I'm sorry I look like Tim, I'm sorry you have to see him every time you look at me"
"Arizona Michelle Robbins!" My dad growls as I turn back to the coffee machine.
"Sorry" I hand him a cup and make Mom one. "I have to wake Eliza" I leave them in the kitchen and move into the lounge. I smile at Sofia and Eliza, quickly taking a picture on my phone before shaking Eliza gently. "Baby, time to wake up" She stirs slightly but only pulls Sofia closer into her. I smile and crouch down, tucking a strand of raven hair behind Sofia's ear. "Eliza sweetie, you have work in two hours" She groans and stretches out as I kiss her forehead. "Come on sleepy head"
"Go away" She whines, pushing my hand away when I poke her cheek.
"My parents are here"
"What? Why didn't you wake me?"
"I've been trying" I smile softly and brush her hair back. "You have work in two hours too" She groans again and I chuckle, caressing her cheek with my thumb. "You go upstairs and freshen up, get ready for work and I'll make you a herbal tea and then introduce you to my parents if you are ready"
"Yea, sounds good. Thank you" I nod and lean forward to kiss her. "And I would love to meet your parents"
"OK, so get that cute butt upstairs" I pick up Sofia carefully, not wanting to wake her "And then meet me in the kitchen"
"What if they don't like me?"
"They will love you because you are awesome. Don't worry about that beautiful" I shift Sofia onto my hip and her head rests on my shoulder. "Promise" I cup Eliza's cheek as Sofia cries softly, her tiny hand finding my hair. "Good morning princess" I kiss her cheek as she yawns. "Grandma and Grandpa are in the kitchen"
