Ninjago - One-shots and short Stories

Meeting the Parents (times two) // Jay x Nya

This one-shot was also suggested by a reader on FF (I love getting story requests!).
I've made up the bits about Jay's birth parents, so these are NOT canon. His birth mother's name is going around on Twitter and such, so it might be the real one (or not).
Obviously set after Hands of Time.

Meeting the Parents (times two)

Wednesday afternoon

"Okay, I'll ask them, no problem. I'm sure they're gonna love the idea." Nya sat at the kitchen counter, a steaming mug of coffee in front of her and the phone at her ear. "Love you too. Bye."

She put the phone down and rested her head on the countertop.

Kai, who was just passing by the open door, saw her. "Are you alright?" He asked in a concerned voice.

"I was just on the phone with mum and dad..." Nya told him.

"Is there anything wrong with them?" Her brother sounded even more worried now.

"No, no, they are fine." Nya quickly reassured him. "They've just invited us to come over on Sunday for lunch and then spend the afternoon with them."

"Sounds great." Kai replied. "Ugh, but I've already arranged to meet Skylor in town..."

"They were actually not asking about us. They want to see me and Jay..."

"They really like their future son-in-law, huh?" Kai grinned.

After a slightly rocky start – it had taken Ray a while to accept that his three-year old 'baby girl' was now a young woman in a committed relationship, and Jay to stop blushing and stammering every time he met the blacksmith couple – Jay and their parents were now getting on very well, especially after Ray and Maya had discovered that Nya was dating the biological son of their old friends.

The Water Ninja didn't even react to Kai's teasing words. "... and his parents." She continued.

Kai burst out laughing. "Mum and dad want to meet Edna and Ed?" He laughed. "Oh, that's gonna be great. Maybe I can still cancel my date with Skylor. Or, even better, bring her as well."

"Kaiiiii." Nya whined. "This is not funny. What if they don't get along? What if they hate each other? Or, even worse, love each other and start exchanging embarrassing childhood stories... or what if..."

"Shhh." Kai pulled her in a firm hug. "Don't worry. Everything's gonna be fine." He told her, gently rubbing her back, just as he would always do, when he needed to comfort his upset little sister. And, again as always, Nya immediately started to calm down.

"I would have expected this kind of reaction from Jay, but not from you." Kai said. "You really want this to work out, huh?"

Nya nodded. "I do."

"And I am sure mum and dad do as well. They just want to meet the people who play an important role in your life. Because they care about you."

"I-I guess you are right..."

"Of course, I am." Kai stated, letting go of her. "Are you feeling better now?"

"I am." Nya smiled at him. "Thanks, Kai. You're the best."

"And so are you, sis."

"Well, I've promised mum and dad to ask the Walkers about Sunday and then call them back. So, I'd better tell Jay. Do you know where he is?"

"Hmm, let me think. Where could your techie boyfriend be...?"

"If you put it that way, he must be either in the workshop or in the game room. Probably the game room."
