The Day that Changed My Life

Chapter 20~ Meeting the Family

Michael's Pov.

After a very long flight and very cold introduction to Canada we hoped into Alex's car and headed towards her childhood house. She said its only about a forty five minute drive so it wouldn't be to long. I smiled at the thought of meeting Alex's family, the only part that I'm nervous about is that they don't know that we're dating and we're going to tell at some point during this trip. It doesn't matter though I'm sure her family will be supportive and if not this is going to make for some really awkward holiday season.

I was surprised at how easily Alex drove the car on such busy roads but I just shook it off, she grew up here she learn to drive here she obviously was comfortable with driving on busy roads. It impressed me is there anything my baby girl can't do except sports and swim? I smiled and looked towards my beauty and she looked so concentrated on the road. She had her eyebrows furrowed slightly and one hand on the wheel as the other was set on the centre console, I smiled and wrapped my hand around her free one before kissing it gently.

"I love you." I told her and I could see her blush, I smiled knowing I had that effect on her. She squeezed my hand and briefly flickered her eyes towards me.

"I love you too." She grinned and I smiled even wider, knowing this girl had me wrapped around her finger and I wouldn't want it any other way.

A little over a half hour later we pulled up to what looked like a modern day mansion, I gaped at the sight of her childhood home along with the rest of the boys. Alex just laughed and parked her car out of the way. We all looked at her shell shocked and she grinned at us.

"We have a big family hence the big house." She giggled as we got out of the car, the cold air already nipping at my skin. I didn't mind the weather it was a nice change from the Australian heat, the boys on the other hand were non stop complaining.

"Can we please go inside?" Ashton shivered and we all nodded our heads in agreement. We all easily grabbed the luggage I of course took Alex's trying to be a gentleman.

We headed to the front door, carefully walking up the walkway trying not to slip on the way. Alex sighed in content and knocked on the door. Considering we were surprising her family a day early we just couldn't walk in. One of them might have came running with a baseball bat ready to swing at us at any given moment.

A man not looking much older then us opened the door and his jaw flung open before tackling Alex in a hug. I was guessing that it was her older brother Kyle. They look a lot like each other, both had dark brown hair and electric blue eyes, but he was significantly taller then her 5'10 height, he was probably as tall as Luke if not a little taller. He had a masculine frame and looked as built as Ashton is. I better not break this girls heart it wasn't like I was planning to but now seeing her brother, it puts a little more pressure on me.

"Oh my god Alex its so good seeing you! I thought you weren't coming until tomorrow?" He asked after setting Alex down back onto the ground.

"We caught an earlier flight." She giggled and he nodded opening the door wider for all of us to come in.

We all shuffled in as Kyle was eyeing all four of us, obviously trying to look intimidating and I think it was working. Luke looked a little jumpy and Calum had a somewhat worried look on his face as he brushed passed Kyle. Yea it was definitely working but Ashton just smiled and introduced himself to Kyle.

Kyle smiled and shook Ashton's hand before quickly introducing himself to everyone else.

"I'm Michael." I offered my hand and he took it shaking it harder then the rest of the boys because now he knows I'm the one whos been sleeping with his sister for the last three ish months. Oh my god not like that! I made it sound so dirty! I mentally scolded myself after releasing Kyles hand.

"Welcome to Canada you Aussies, if you do follow me I can introduce you to the rest of the family." Kyle smiled and we all nodded in agreement. I smiled and followed Kyle, and my beautiful girlfriend with the boys trailing behind me.

Alexandra's Pov

It was nice being back home and seeing that Kyle seems to like all of the boys. I saw him being a little tougher with Michael but that is to be expected since we have been sharing a room since school has started. It was just Kyle playing the protective big brother role.

I followed Kyle into the living room and smiled as I saw my family all sitting on the couches listening to Christmas music and having some hot chocolate.

"Looks like things haven't changed much since I left." I whistled and they all looked surprised when they heard my voice before they all smiled widely.

"You little shit! You said you were coming for tomorrow!" My older sister Tara screamed as she got up from her spot on the couch. My eyes widened at the sight of her large belly, I looked back up at her and smiled.

"You're pregnant?" I asked with a huge grin and she rolled her eyes at me.

"No I had a big lunch! Yes I'm pregnant!" She laughed as she came over to hug me and I squeezed my older sister tightly. Missing her embrace. I pulled away from her slightly and rested my hand on her medium sized baby bump and smiled.

"How far along?" I asked as she put her hand over mine.

"Just about 6 months, I found out a month before you left but wanted to keep it a secret until I got into my second trimester, then I said fuck it why not wait until Christmas and scare the living day lights out of her." She laughed and I smiled and laughed with her, absolutely loving the news that I'll be an aunt soon.

"Now, now Tara. Is that any way to be speaking in front of our guests?" Mom asked after she hugged me quickly and headed over and hugged all the boys introducing herself as Olivia. She's definitely a Mom giving hugs to these four Aussie boys with out even knowing them. She smiled at Michael and fixed his hair slightly.

"So you're the one that's been keeping an eye on my baby girl?" She asked and Michael nodded his head and smiled at her.

"Of course, I've been making sure she doesn't do anything to stupid." He smiled and winked at me causing a blush to form across my cheeks.

"Good, good." Mom smiled before sitting back down and letting me greet the rest of my family.

Grace jumped up into my arms and I caught her not expecting the ten year old to fling herself at me like that. I smiled and hugged her back whispering that I missed her and she said the same thing back before jumping down and heading over to Ashton shyly walking over and giving him a hug. He picked her up causing her to squeal making everyone else in the room laugh.

"Now what's your name?" Ashton asked and she smiled before blushing a little.

"I'm Grace." She smiled her biggest smile, now noticing that she is missing one of her front teeth. I could tell Grace had a small crush on Ashton but its harmless and I'm sure Ashton will enjoy spending time with her.

"Well Grace you remind me a lot of my little sister back home when she was your age, do you have any games you want to play?" Ashton asked excitedly and she nodded before dragging him out of the room and into her play room. I smiled loving that those two were getting along.

Daisy was the next one to come up to me, she hugged me and smiled before whispering into my ear asking why they were all so hot. I laughed and pulled away from the fifteen year old.

She walked over and introduced herself to everyone and blushed when Calum shook her hand. Awe how cute.

Before I knew it I was lifted up and put over someone's shoulder, I screamed and heard the familiar laugh of my father and calmed down slightly.

"Derek put her down!" Mom scolded and I could sense Dad's eye roll from here. Dad put me down and smiled at me before walking in front of the three remaining boys standing awkwardly in the living room. He crossed his arms and smiled welcoming them and introducing himself before asking a question that made both mine and Michael's eyes widen.

"So which one of you lads is dating my lovely daughter?"
