"This Day Keeps Getting Better And Better."

"I want you to meet someone" Rosalie said to Sweet Pea as they were eating breakfast. "Hum Iz It" he asked, his mouth filled with food. "I want you to meet my grandfather."

He stopped eating and looked at her confused. "Your grandfather?" "Yeah, he's not my official Gramps, but he's the closest thing I have to one" she replied.

"Yeah, I can do that." He wasn't going to tell her he was nervous. He was a Serpent, he was a brave Serpent, one of the most brave.

A smile appeared on Rosalie's face. "Good, you can meet him at Pop's Diner. He's always there." She gave him a kiss on the cheek as she took his empty plate to the kitchen.

Sweet Pea closed his eyes as he started to imagine all the possible scenarios.

What was her Grandfather like? Was he a kind man? Did he hate Serpents? If he didn't like him would they be forced to break up? He couldn't lose his beautiful girlfriend, he didn't want to be without her.

"You ready?" Rosalie asked as she held his jacket in her hand. "Let's do this."

He took the jacket and they made their way to his bike. Sweet Pea smiled as Rosalie wrapped her arms around his waist and put her head on his back.

When they arrived at the Diner Rosalie couldn't stop smiling. "Come on." She grabbed his hand, pulling him into the building.

The first person they saw was James, he looked at Rosalie wide eyed. He slowly backed away causing Sweet Pea to snort, just a normal day of Northsiders being scared.

"Rue, there you are-" Pop stopped speaking as he noticed Rosalie holding hands with a Serpent. "And who's this?" "This is Sweet Pea, my boyfriend."

Sweet Pea felt a strange sensation run through him as Rosalie introduced him. She seemed so proud to call him her boyfriend, he couldn't help but smile.

"Oh, Sweet Pea, the Serpent that caught my Rue's heart" Pop said with a straight face. "Ugh, hi." Sweet Pea was unsure what else to say.

"Pop, play nice" Rosalie warned the man teasingly, causing him to chuckle. "I'm only joking Rue, as long as he looks after you, then I am happy. I haven't seen you smile so much."

Sweet Pea glanced at Rosalie, wondering when she'd introduce him to her Grandfather.

"Go to work, I'm sure your friend can manage to be without you for a few minutes." Rosalie smiled as she went to work, confusing Sweet Pea. He was yet to meet her 'Grandfather'.

"Why did Rosalie tell you to come here today?" Pop asked the confused boy. "She said something about meeting her Grandfather." A small smile was on the older man's face. "I am Rosalie's Grandfather."

Sweet Pea's eyes widened. "You?" "Is there a problem?" Sweet Pea shook his head. "No, she just didn't tell me it was you."

"Don't let her go Sweet Pea, she's one of the good ones" Pop told him. "I don't plan to." Pop nodded his head before walking off. 

Sweet Pea went over to a table and sat down, waiting for Leon, Fangs and Oscar to arrive. They had already left, at least that's what the text said.

After a few minutes the three boys entered the diner. They spotted Sweet Pea instantly, at least Leon did. "Sweetlie!" He ran over to the boy and sat next to him, while Oscar and Fangs shook their head.
