Chapter 10: Meeting the Parents, what could Possibly go wrong?

Zach's POV

I open the door to see my parents and my three sibilings. 

"Mom, Dad! Guys! So glad you guys finally came!" I exclaimed while plastering a fake smile on my face. Honestly I don't really like my family, they can be really judgemental and don't approve much of what I do to rule the kingdom. 

"Zach! I'm so glad to finally see you again! It's been years!" said my mother while giving me a giant hug. I gasped for air and then she let me go. 

"So we heard you found your future queen?" asked my older brother Lucas while they all walked in and looked around the place. It had ben three years since the last time they came, and I've changed the place a little bit, but not by much. 

"Yes that is true. Veronica!" I called out, I smiled at my family weakly. 

"Why are you so nervous? Afraid we're not going to like her?" asked my older sister, Kathrine or Katy for short. 

"No, it's just that she's new to the place, and I'm afraid you guys are going to be really judgemental and push her around like you did with the past girls." I said to them while playing with my fingers. My mom patted my back and smiled at me. 

"I promise we won't be so harsh this time" said my mother while smiling, but I could see straight through her smile. She was lying, I knew no matter what she promised that she would always be judgemental about everything. Then Veronica came walking out of the hallway and over to me. I looked her over and smiled. She really did look beautiful. 

"Wow, she's gorgeous" said my younger brother, Alec. I smiled and then Veronica stood next to me smiling. 

"Hello, I'm Veronica, you guys must be his family" Said Veronica while hugging each of my family members. 

"Are you really with my brother?" asked Alec, a little shocked. I gave him a look and then Veronica smacked my chest. 

"He can ask questions, and yes I am" said Veronica while leaning back into my arms. I smiled and wrapped my arms around her. 

"So how old are you?" Lucas asked her. 

"I'm 18" she said while looking up at me and giving me a reassuring smile. Then my mother grabbed Veronica by the shoulders and leaned in close. 

"Do you love my son?" she asked her. Veronica turned bright red. 

"Of course, he's the best. He's sweet, kind, caring and can always make me laugh" She said while smiling. I gawked at her. She was being perfect, unlike my past girlfriends who had always been sarcastic, Veronica is actually trying to be kind to my family. Then my mom squealed. 

"She's perfect!" squealed my mom while hugging Veronica tightly. I chuckled and rubbed my arm. I looked at my mom.
