Chapter 5: Meet the parents

When we got home, I headed straight towards the kitchen, and got dinner started, I'd been smiling ever since we left the house. Chris must've been watching me the whole time because he hugs me from behind and says,

"What are you so smily about, beautiful?"

"You won't believe what happened,"

"What's that?" He says as he turns me around to face him.

"I met my father...my actual father, my birth father, Chris!"

"Really?! How did it go?!"

"Awesome, he's not the average dad, I'll tell you that! And he's coming over for dinner with mom, because he wants to meet you and Tyler!"

"That's amazing! I can't wait to finally meet them," he kisses my cheek and smiles.

"I need to go pick up Tyler from Maria's,"  I said as I turn around to chop the lettuce.

"But, baaaaabe, she lives so fa-"

I turn around quickly with the knife and he immediately put his hands up in surrender.

"I'll pick him up," he says. At that he picks up the keys and leaves. All three of the girls came in the kitchen.

"What's for dinner?" Riot asks.

"Taco salad," I responded.

"Can we help?" Brionna asks.

"That'd be so much fun! Let us help!" Briar says. I laughed and agreed. They all scurried in and begin to help. The girls are already getting along.

By the time Chris came back with Tyler, dinner was ready and set on the table.

"Fuck, that smells so good," Chris says.

Tyler covered his mouth and said "awwe, daddy said the eff word,"

I put my hands on my hips and stared at Chris.

"Oops, sowy, it slips, I'll try to limit my cursing, little dude," he says to Tyler. Tyler runs upstairs to his room.

"When's your parents gonna be over?"

"Hannah said they'll be here in a few minutes,"

"MOMMY, THERE ARE THREE REALLY PRETTY GIRLS UPSTAIRS AND I'M SCARED!!" He says as he runs down the stairs. Me and Chris just quietly laughed.

"Why are you scared?" I asked.

"Because...they're talking about bad things about boys...I think the one with the blue hair has a crush on daddy,"

"Oh wow," Chris says as he blushes and rubs the back of his neck.

I giggled and took him upstairs to introduce him to the girls. They all loved him and couldn't keep their hands away from his cheeks. Minutes later, the bell rang.

"That's them!!" I said nervously.

We all ran downstairs, and pushed Chris away from the door, he gives me the evil eye but I swatted it away and swung open the door. There they were. My parents. My mom reminded me much of myself. Her eyes grew big, and without hesitation, we ran into each other's arms. After our forever lasting hug, they come in and I introduce them to Chris, Tyler, Riot, and Brionna.

"It's very nice to meet you all, hello, Chris, it's cool to finally meet you," dad says.

Chris just laughs and shakes dad's hand. I told Chris how much of a fan dad is.

"Hello, Chris, it's lovely to meet you," mom says.

"It's awesome to meet the both of you," he says slightly shaking moms hand.
