it has been a little over a month since gus and grace had the slight bump in their relationship, gus was still treating her well and they were both happy as ever. gus finally moved him and grace into a new apartment, it was big and a lot nicer than what they had been living in previously. gus had really generously been taking care of grace so she moved back down to two shifts a week, just to keep some money in the bank. gus had been thinking lately, he really wanted grace to meet his mom. going back to new york wasn't necessarily a great idea for him or grace but gus missed his mom, he hadn't seen her in years. he hadn't seen his brother either. gus sat contemplating on the couch for a while, grace emerged from their shared bedroom wearing only her underwear and one of his shirts she walked over and sat on his lap "wooo theres my girl" gus said, always hyping his baby up, grace made a kissing face at him "baby i wanted to ask you about doing something" gus figured he'd just get asking out of the way "sure what is it baby?" grace continued casually "i wanna take us back to new york" gus said "gus, baby why? you've told me a dozen times you couldn't go back there without getting killed are you crazy?" grace immediately shot down his idea, she wasn't willing to risk his safety, or her for that matter "no baby listen, i want you to meet my mom and my brother plus i haven't seen them in years and i think it'd do me good to be home and see my momma you know? plus i really want her to meet you, you two are the only women i've ever really loved and i want us all to be together and i just really miss my mom...like i said i haven't been there in years, i won't go back to any of my old turf i'll be super careful and i swear to god if anyone fucking touches you, comes near you, even looks at you i'll fucking kill them" gus started out sounding like a sappy momma's boy, ending with his blood boiling at the thought of anyone coming near his girl. grace had a change of heart when gus started talking about his mom, at least he still had the opportunity to see his unlike her so who would she be to deprive him of that. she knew gus was a total momma's boy inside and it made her feel better knowing he wanted her to meet her, that's always a good sign. "okay" she smiled "we can go, but if anything happens to you gus i have no idea what i'll do" she agreed hesitantly "nothing bad will happen baby, i won't let it" gus kissed her forehead "when are we gonna go?" grace asked, gus took a minute to think, today was tuesday "why don't we leave on thursday, stay for a week and we can come back here" gus suggested "sounds good to me" grace kissed him before she stood up to go finish putting laundry away. gus promised her that nothing would happen to her, that was true if anyone tried anything on her he'd kill them in a second flat. for himself however he couldn't be so sure, he'd try to keep himself safe for grace and his family but he had a lot of enemies there, like a lot of enemies. gus was beyond excited to go see his family again and especially to have grace meet them, if they approved he'd know she'd be the one. of course gus started to stress about the whole situation, what if something happened to him or grace what if his family didn't wanna see him what if what if what if... gus went in the bedroom to go see grace, she was the only thing besides the drugs that could calm him. grace could obviously feel something was off with gus "everything okay love?" grace asked, gus couldn't speak he just pulled grace closer to him, breathing shakily "gus, baby breathe okay,just listen to me, deep breaths" grace said soothingly, "w-what if they don't wanna see me? what if they know? they're going to be so disappointed" gus cried into grace's shoulder "gus, that's your family they're gonna love you no matter what. a mothers love never fades she's gonna be so happy to see you baby" grace said, rubbing his back. "my moms gonna love you" gus told grace "i sure hope she does" grace said, shit she thought what if his mom didn't like her? "im gonna go have a quick smoke baby i'll be right back" gus said, kissing her quickly and disappearing onto the apartment balcony. hearing gus talk about his mom and family really made her miss hers, she'd do anything to have her mom back in her life. her dad was absent and she didn't really care about him, she had no idea where her sister was either. gus was the literally all she had. "gusss" she whined trying to get his attention from the balcony "gustav" she said sharply, gus popped his head back in "yeah baby?" he asked "come back i miss you" she whined. gus couldn't resist her, he put out his cigarette and came back to bed with grace, holding her as he did every night, grace took no time falling asleep once she was with gus "goodnight angel" gus whispered to her. he was praying to the sky that everything was going to be okay back home with his mom and brother and grace, the only three people he really loved.
