Introductions- Preath and Malsby

Mal pov

Today I'm introducing Dansby to my parents. Not the biological ones. The overprotective, crazy ones. Christen Press and Tobin Heath. Dansby is nervous and he isn't exactly the best at hiding it.

"Hey Dans don't stress" I say rubbing my hand over his cheek. "Your going to do great" I say kissing him softly on the cheek.

He runs upstairs and puts on his cap and runs down.

"Now I'm ready." He says pulling at his suit again. "You owe me for making me wear this piece of shit" Dansby says. I flick his ear.

"You can't cus." I say and he groans.

"Mally I can't do this" he says hopping in the car.

"Just drive" I say looking forward.

We arrive at the nice restaurant and Dansby runs over and opens my door. I hold out my hand and he helps me out.

"Already being a gentleman I see?" I question. He smiles and grabs my hand. I intertwine our hands and rub my thumb across his knuckles.

I see my parents and walk to them.

"Hey Mama" I hug Tobin then I see Christen and run to her. "Mommy." I say into her neck.

"You look beautiful Mallory." Christen says.

"Hey Christen I-I mean Mrs.Press-Heath." Dansby stutters out offering his hand. Christen shakes it and does the same with Tobin.

Tobin however looks him over and makes a face which scares me. I pat the seat next to me and Dansby sits. I put my hand on his thigh and rub it looking over the menu.

We order and Dansby gives the waitress our menus.

"So Dansby Swanson when do you plan on marrying Mal?" Christen asks

Dans stops and looking up "Um I don't know." He lets out. I rub his thigh more.

"Seems like you don't know a lot Mr.Swanson" Tobin says.

"Mama stop." I let out. She puts her hands up.

"So Dans tell them about your baseball." I say changing the topic.

"Well Um I play outfield. I play for the Atlanta Braves. We just won the World Series. So I get some time with my Mal Pal...I-I mean Mallory." He says quickly fixing himself.

"Very interesting." Tobin says sarcastically

Dansby loses it at this point "I'm sorry Tobin but do you have a problem with me?" He says looking up.

"I do actually. You dating my daughter and acting like this is a problem." She says motioning towards his hat. I look down and rub his thigh more.

"When will you get I love your daughter. She's my world and I'm sorry but, I mean this with all due respect, but your opinions about how I look mean nothing to me. Neither do your opinions on Mal and I. I am in love with your daughter and nothing you say or do with change that. I hope you can get that." He says smiling his sweet smile.

Tobin smiles "He passed."

Dansby breathes out a breath I didn't know he was holding. "That was a test" he says looking at me. I nod and kiss his cheek.

"Love you too" I say.

"Good job Dansby. You have permission to date my daughter, but if you hurt her, let's just say those money makers won't be functioning anymore." Christen says motioning towards Dansby's hands and he shoved them in his pockets.

"Wouldn't dream of it."
