Addison Waters

"Wanna see his baby pictures?" Sean whispered to me from across the table.

I chuckled, "Sure."

I swear any chance Ethan leaves the room for anything, his family is out to embarrass him. Although for me, it's always a cute surprise, first a love letter he wrote about me and now his baby pictures? I love his family.

He lightly laughed before sprinting over to the living room, and taking out a photo album book from the shelf.

He came back over and stood beside me, setting the book down and flipping through the pages.

I was able to see a few photos of Sean and Lisa in they're younger days, and they still look as happy as they do now. It's incredibly beautiful to see, and very reassuring.

Ethan told me they met in their twenties, and have been together since. They never even took a short break, always together.

I hope that it will be like that for Ethan and I, I couldn't imagine myself with anybody else, and I know everyone says that about their significant other, but I truly mean it.

"Here's his page," Sean mumbled, pointing down to a picture of mini Ethan, sitting in the snow with red winter attire on.

I awed at the photo,
"He was so cute!"

"Was?"

I widened my eyes, holding in my laughter before I slowly looked up to see Ethan, at the bottom of the stairs.

"Oh! You're back-" Sean quickly shut the book and hid it behind him.

He chuckled, "Dad, did you really have to whip out the photo album like every other cliche 'meeting the parents' moment?"

"Well Addison liked the idea," he joked, walking past Ethan and over to the living room.

"Oh did she?" He arched up a brow in my direction.

"Yes," I giggled.

"You were so cute, what happened?"

Lisa nearly spit out her water, laughing hysterically. Along with Sean's laughs from the living room.

"Very funny." Ethan spoke, returning to his spot beside me.

Lisa's laughing slowly died down as she turned her head to look at Sean,
"C'mon honey, finish your brownie," she spoke, as she patted his now empty seat.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." He mumbled, quickly walking back over to his seat.

"Speaking of meeting the parents, when are we going to meet yours?" Lisa asked, smiling in my direction.

"Well they're still out in Florida, I haven't visited them in a few months, both of us being really busy and all, but I hope some day soon!" I chuckled.

I felt Ethan's hand on top of mine, which was rested on my thigh.

I looked up at him and he smiled,
"I can't wait to meet them."
