Niall opened the door, and in that moment, Louis realized he had never been as nervous as he was now. He was meeting his boyfriend's parents for the first time, and though Niall wasn't showing it, he was nervous too. Maybe even more than Louis. No... no that wasn't possible, but was still very much nervous.

"Hey mum, dad!" Niall smiled, hugging his parent's. And then three other people stepped in. A lady, a man, and a small boy that looked to be around the age of three. And Louis knew just from listening to Niall talk about his family -as well as pictures he's seen- that this was Niall's brother, his wife and their son. And yeah, maybe Niall should have mentioned that they would be coming over too, but it had slipped his mind. Niall had invited them, but they said they couldn't make it, until last second.

It's a good thing Louis made a big enough cake.

Louis stood to the side as Niall hugged everyone, turning to look at Louis as he held the little boy in his arms. "Everyone, this is Louis."

Louis smiled and shook hands with everyone as Niall introduced them, offering up a kind 'hello' to everyone. Theo just watched Louis intently as he curled up against Niall's chest.

"Well... dinner is ready, just pulled it out of the oven before you showed up." Niall smiled. And soon after that, everyone filled into the dining room, taking their seats where they were marked off on little name cards, Niall and Louis next to each other, of course.

Once everyone was served, they all began eating, making small talk between each other as Maura asked Louis lots of questions about him, Greg listening in to know about what type of person his baby brother is dating.

"Niall, when you said you wanted us to meet someone, I thought it would be a girl." His dad said, looking at Niall and Louis curiously, unsure of why Niall would feel the need to throw an early Christmas dinner just so his family could meet his new friend. The room went silent, well, asides from little Theo who was currently shoveling cheesy mashed potatoes into his mouth like his life depended on it.

And yes, maybe Niall should have mentioned that he never told his dad that he's dating Louis because his dad may or may not be a little homophobic and he was scared his dad wouldn't come to dinner if he knew. Louis frowned and gave Niall a confused look.

"Dad... Louis' my boyfriend." Niall said, reaching over and holding Louis' hand under the table, giving it a gentle squeeze. Everyone else watched intently, as they all knew. Well, maybe except for Theo.

Before Bobby could have a chance to say anything offensive or rude, Theo spoke up, a big smile on his face. "Boys can have boyfwiends?"

"Course they can." Niall nodded with a smile. Theo turned to Denise after. "Mummy! Can I have a boyfwiend when I'm older?"

Denise cooed and ruffled his hair. "If you want, sure."

And bobby sighed as he watched his grandson, a four year old boy who was more accepting of his son than he was. He sipped his wine before smiling softly at Niall. "I'm glad you found someone that makes you happy."
