Of Parents and Grandparents- Family AU- Prinxiety and Logicality (Romantic)

Summary: Thomas is Virgil and Roman's son, and he's about to meet Virgil's parents.

"Thomas come on! Were almost ready to go!" Yelled Thomas's adopted father.

Thomas had recently been adopted by a nice couple who were two men known as Virgil (who he had just recently started calling dad) and Roman (Papa).

They were incredibly loving, patient and showered Thomas with the attention that he had always wanted growing up and he was beyond grateful that they choose to adopt him (Though if you asked Roman and Virgil, they would tell you there was never really any choice.)

But now he was a it nervous, this would be the first time he would meet his Grandparents.

This is the first year he would spend Christmas with his new parents and they decided to use the Holiday season to introduce the boy to Virgil's parents (Thomas has been told that they don't talk to Roman's parents, but he wasn't told much more than that and his parents avoided the topic.)

He knew a tiny bit about his grandparents, things like their names, that they were apparently really sweet, and he had been reassured many times that they would absolutely adore him.

This didn't help the feeling of nervousness in his stomach, but he had to admit that he was a bit excited for the occasion.

He was now walking to the car from his spot on the couch on the living room and he was trying to not show how nervous he is. He climbed into the back seat and he put his seatbelt on and picked up his favorite stuffed bear, which he had already put in the back seat. His Papa was still loading up the car (they would be gone for about a week), and his Dad was inside the house. Double checking that they weren't leaving anything important behind or they left anything plugged in that could cause a far in unattended to.

Finally everything was ready and the two adults entered the car. They started the 3 hour drive.

After driving for about an hour, Virgil asked Thomas if he was ok. Thomas responded saying I'm fine quickly.

His dad frowned at this and turned around in his seat to face Thomas (Roman was driving).

"Thomas it's ok to feel nervous about meeting someone new. Especially a new family member like Grandparents. But I promise you, I would never take you to anyplace or let you near anyone I thought would hurt you. And knowing my parents, they'll love you to bits." Virgil smiled and then added. "I know we do."

Thomas smiled back. "Thanks, Dad."
Thomas could swear that Virgil's smile got bigger. Though he couldn't tell if it was because he was happy to help, or because he was called Dad. He assumed it was both.

"It's no problem Thomas." And with that he turned back around.

Thomas smiled. He felt a lot better about this whole thing.

They arrived at his Grandparent's house without issue and they pulled up the driveway into a small but friendly looking house.

The house was a soft blue color and it had white shutters. It had Christmas decorations across the front lawn which were all things such as snowmen, reindeer, and even a Santa Claus. There were also lights all over the place but they weren't on as it was still daytime.

The car stopped and his parents unbuckled their seat belt and Thomas followed. They got out of the car and grabbed some of their bags. They went up to the door and Virgil knocked on it.

The door opened a minute later to an excited looking man who instantly pulled Virgil into a hug and he was shocked that his dad hugged him back so quickly.

"Virgil! I missed you so much kiddo! How have you been?"

Both of them had a huge smile on their face. "I'm good, dad. How are you?"

"My husband, sons, and grandson are happy and healthy. Me and my husband own a house and are retired and in love still after more than 30 years. What more can I want?"

Patton then looked over at Roman.

"Roman! Give your old father-in-law a hug." Patton then walked over to give the man a bear hug which he happily returned.

Thomas couldn't help but smile at the man, but that smile became more nervous after Patton let go of Roman and walked to Thomas.

"And you must my lovely Grandson. Virgil has told me a whole lot about you!" The man smiled at him and Thomas felt most of his nervousness slip away.

"Hello. I'm Thomas." He then stook out his hand for a handshake.

Patton was thrown off guard by that but he took his hand and then kneeled down do he can be at the same level as Thomas.

"Formal guy huh. Logan will definitely like that. I'm Patton! You can call me grandad if you like, but there's no pressure here kiddo."

Patton then got up and said, "Come on kiddos time to go inside. Logan is dying to see you!"

They all went inside and Thomas couldn't help the smile growing on his face.

This was definitely going to be a great trip.
