We have vbeen back in New York for atleast an hour. I was unpacking all my things. Someone knocked on my door. I opened the door and saw my dad, Samantha, and her older son Ethan. A small smile grew on my face. "Hey!" I said. They all came in with their bags. "You guys can crash in the spare room and the couch." I said with a smile. Monica came in and looked over at me.
"My family is here." I said.
"Oh hi Mr. Carter." Monica said.
"Are you the one who got her talking on the news?" Dad asked, jumping to conclusions.
"Are you seriously doing this now?" I asked, throwing my hands up.
"No he isnt." Samantha said.
"Well then drop it." I said, snapping at my father.
"Dinner is soon." Monica said awkwardly.
"We will be over." I said, giving her a small smile.
Nick came over as soon as Monica left. "Hey." He said, holding a bottle of wine. My dad looked over at us. Ethan was playing on his phone, dealing with work.
"This is Nick. We have been dating." I said.
"Hi. Nick Smith." Nick said.
"Bob Carter." Dad said, shaking his hand.
"We should head over to Monica's." I said.
We all walked over to Monica's after I got dressed. Nick took the wine over to Monica's. Rachel and the others are already there. I took the bottle of wine from Nick and poured myself a glass of it. Nick was talking to Chandler. Ross was trying to get a hold of Emily. Phoebe was standing next to me. I pushed my hair back and looked over at her.
"My dad is going to probably have a huge fight with me." I said.
"About what?" She asked.
"Me being the voice for Latina woman." I said.
"Good luck." Phoebe said as I chugged down the wine.
"Dinner is done." Monica said.
I sat down next to Nick as Joey was on my other side. My dad and the others were on the other side of the table. I put some peas on my plate and passed around the bowl.
"So who's idea was it for the whole Latina voice thing?" My dad asked.
"A woman came to the table at dinner and gave me her card." I said.
"So you called?" Dad asked.
"Well I think she is doing a wonderful job." Rachel said.
"She did give a toast at my dinner." Ross said.
"Isabella did sing at the wedding." Chandler added.
"Everyone loves her speaking up." Monica said.
"So you all think what she is doing is good?" Dad asked.
"She is getting paid good money." Phoebe said.
"I think that you should be proud of your daughter. She is becoming a strong brave beautiful woman. The best thing you could do is be supportive." Nick said as I took a sip of my wine.
"Excuse me." Dad said.
"He has a point." Ethan said.
"Mom would be proud of me." I said.
"Isabella." Samantha said.
"No. You try to act like my mom but you arent and you cant. He found you when he was drunk. When I was four he was always drunk. I went to school and tried to stay at school because of that. I lost her and he went and acted like everything was okay. She was suppose to be there for my wedding, for prom, for my first boyfriend, for my boy troubles, for graudation, for everything but she isnt." I said, storming out of the apartment.
I put my back against the wall. My hands went onto my face. I held back the tears as I heard the door opened and closed. Someone pulled me into a hug. "It is going to be okay baby girl." Nick said in my ear. My arms wrapped around him. Nick held me close to his body.
"Can we go watch children movies?" I asked.
"Actually I will have Ethan go with you and I need to talk to the gang." Nick said.
"Okay." I said, walking back to my apartment.
Nick's POV
I walked back into Monica's apartment. "Hey Ethan, can you watch children movies with Isabella?" I asked. He chuckled some and nod his head. Ethan left the room as I looked at all the people.
"Mr. Carter." I said.
"No no Nick call me Bob." Bob said.
"I am sorry for earlier. I stuck up for Isabella because I love her." I said.
"You what her?" Rachel asked.
"I love her." I said.
"I am glad she found someone." Bob said.
"She is a beauitful young woman." Samantha said.
"Yes that is why I am here to ask for your blessing sir." I said.
"What!" Chandler said, jumping over the couch.
"You want to marry her?" Monica asked.
"Yes. I want to have this romantic proposal, I want her to meet my parents and I have this ring I am going to get her that is all the way in Switzerland." I said.
"Of course you have my blessing." Bob said as I smiled.
"Thank you so much sir." I said.
"When are you going to Switzerland?" Joey asked.
"Tomorrow." I said.
"Wow you are really going through with this." Ross said.
"You do amazing stuff for the people you love." I said.
"We are here to help with the proposal if needed." Phoebe said.
"Thank you guys so much. I will text or call Isabella in the morning and tell her about me going out on a business trip just as a excuse." I said.
"We got your back." Monica said with a smile.
"I wonder who would be her maid of honor." Rachel said.
"Or Nick's best man." Ross said.
"Guys he didnt even ask her yet." Bob said.
"Thank you guys so much for coming over for dinner but I think we all should get some rest." Monica said.
"Thanks guys." I said before leaving.
She is the one.
