24. The Truth

The next morning Rose woke up and looked at the clock she bit the inside of her lip before getting out of bed she went to the kitchen and put on the coffee before grabbing eggs, bacon, and pancake mix to make them breakfast.

"Good Morning" Leati said grabbing the cup of coffee Rose handed him "Baby are you sure you're ok?" he asked "You seem down" he told her

"I don't know Le" she said "I really don't want to do this today but if I don't go Paul and my parents will be upset" she told him

"Are there family members you don't get along with?" he asked

"Something like that" she said "I'll be fine Le" she said giving him a kiss "You two eat up" she told them before disappearing upstairs.

Rose came out of her closet wearing a pair of black skinny jeans that had rips going up the legs, a white tank top with a lose fitting v neck see through shirt, she grabbed her purple pumps and curled her hair.

"Damn I'm screwed" Rose whistled out when she seen Leati he was in a pair of black jeans with a white t-shirt, his white Jordan's and his hair up in a bun.

"Not as much as I am" he said wiggling his eyebrows.

JoJo came skipping into the room wearing a black dress with a purple sweater and white sandals Rose put her hair into a tight ponytail then curled it before spraying a little perfume on her.

"Now that's a good looking family" JoJo said as they all stood in the mirror

"Yeah it is" Leati agreed

Rose snapped a picture of them and posted it on Instagram.

Life is so much better with these two in it! So in love! #ItsOurYardNOw

They pulled up to her parents' home she instantly started rubbing her hands on her thighs he looked over and smiled he knew she did that when she was nervous so he grabbed her hand and kissed.

"It's going to be ok baby" he said "Let's go have fun" he told her getting out of the car

"Yeah fun" she mumbled before getting out and opening the door for JoJo.

"Aunt Rose" Three little girls yelled in unison and came running toward her Rose immediately squatted down and opened her arms as all three crashed into her

"Hi love bugs" Rose said kissing their cheeks

"We miss you" Aurora yelled in her ear

"I missed yall too" Rose said standing up "Love bugs this is JoJo" she said introducing them.

"Hi JoJo, I'm Murphy" the middle one said "Do you want to play with us?" she asked excited

"Yeah" JoJo smiled and the four took off to the backyard.

Rose and Leati walked into the house and were met by Paul and Stephanie.

"Hi Sis" Paul said hugging her "Anoa'I" he said shaking his hand he squeezed it and looked him in the eye "You better be good to her" he told him.

"I will be" Leati said

"Will you stop" Steph said smacking his arm and giving Leati a hug.

"So where is the wicked witch of the east coast?" Rose asked crossing her arms

"Rose" Steph said eyeing her "It's just one day" she added

"Who is the wicked witch?" Leati asked

"She is talking about our sister Lynn" Paul said "Let's just say they don't really see eye to eye or even like each other at all" he added

"Why?" Leati asked Rose
