Again I want to thank you for your patience on this chapter. I've had really bad writers block recently and I've been so annoyed with myself! I know you've probably been waiting ages for this chapter and don't worry I'll try to make it worth while. I'll try and make my updates more regular :) xx

I was so nervous. My heart felt like helicopter propellers and my stomach was doing back flips. I was about to meet Stefan's parents. I mean they probably knew everything about me already, they probably hated me because I made their son a zombie for the past year. My parents were staying with them so no doubt they knew all the embarrassing stories about me. I didn't know what to expect, but I was terrified. Stef was tugging on my arm as I appeared to have stopped walking;

''Hey, come on. Don't you want to see your parents? Don't worry I've already phoned them, your Mum nearly made me deaf though, they really want to see you!!'' I smiled. I did miss my parents, so much. I was just so scared about meeting Stef's.

''Obvioulsy I miss them Stef but-''

''But what?!''

''But I'm scared about meeting your parents!'' He laughed;

''Oh, come, on.''

''What?!?!''

''They're dying to meet you! Your parents have talked non-stop about you!'' I grimaced;

''But, what if they don't like me?'' He laughed again.

''Hey, come here'' He pulled me into a hug ''I guarantee they will adore you, they've been wanting to meet you ever since the- the incident, I've literally not stopped talking about you, about how much I ... well love you'' I smiled;

''Even though I was unconsious you still loved me?''

''Of course!! I spent nearly every night next to your bed wishing you would wake up, I cried so much I think I ran out of tears'' Oh wow he was so sweet, I hugged him tighter;

''You didn't need to waste your tears on me'' Stef kissed the top of my head;

''I couldn't help it, it was like a part of me wasn't there'' I smiled;

''You're so sweet I can't even stand it'' 

''Haha, aww I love you'' I smiled and clung on to his arm. I stopped suddenly. We were in front of a door.

''S-Stef, are we here?'' 

''Yep, ready?'' I nodded slowly. Stef was about to knock on the door when it opened in front of us. Before us stood a small red headed women. She smiled and suddenly pulled me into a warm embrace.

''Hello sweetie I'm Sally, Stefan's Mum. It's so great to finally meet you! Are you feeling okay?'' My mouth was literally open. I just stood there like a twat with my mouth wide open. Say something Jemma!

''I- ummmm urr-'' Stef interrupted me;

''She's fine Mum, thanks for asking'' He nudged me slightly;

''Y-yeah I'm good thanks. How are you?'' She smiled at me;

''I'm perfectly fine darling, but then I haven't been in a coma!'' She laughed like it was a joke, I joined in. Stef scowled;

''Mum!''

''Oh, sorry! I didn't mean it as I joke, it's just, I was trying tp lighten the mood!'' She took my hand ''I really am sorry sweet, I didn't mean anyth-'' I interrupted her;

''It's fine, honestly. Stef's just a bit overprotective'' I winked at him, he smirked;

''Awww, well alright then! Come inside you too you must be freezing!'' We stepped inside the remarkably toasty house when I saw a bald man come up to me and pull me into a hug, I hugged back automatically.

''Well you must be Jemma, I must say you look wonderful considering, well, you know'' I smiled;

''Umm thank you'' 

''Oh, sorry! I forgot to say, I'm Stef's Dad nice to meet you'' I smiled;

''Nice to meet you too'' There was a moment of awkward silence when I heard a load scream and suddenly my Mum appeared out of nowhere; a tear stained face and uncontrollable sobbing greeted me;

''OH MY GOD BABY!'' She ran up to me and hugged me tightly, restricting my breathing for a second time today; ''I-I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH WE ALL HAVE!!!!!'' She hugged me again and kissed me on the cheek, she was shaking;

''Hey Mum, you don't look any different'' A salty tear slid down my cheek as I became all emotional. 

''Thank you darling, neither do you, you look even more beautiful'' I blushed;

''Thanks'' Sally said;

''Come on everyone, I've prepared a massive Sunday roast for all of us! Jemma darling you must be starving!'' I smiled. I liked Sally.
