"Are you excited?" I asked Andrew as we walked around the airport. My hand was in his.
"Nervous more than anything. First time I'm meeting the family, and we're telling them you're pregnant. I don't think it's the best first impression," he pointed out.
I laughed, "Worse has happened in my family. You'll be a prince compared to some men in my family." He just smiled.
I knocked on the door and looked to Andrew. His face was contorted. I squeezed his hand in attempt to comfort in.
"Babe, it's going to be fine! They are going to love you. Just be prepared to deal with my little sisters. They are a handful," I spoke, laughing. He smiled back.
"Hey, Y/N! Come on in. You're the last to arrive," my cousin opened the door. We hugged and went inside the small house.
"Y/N!" My two little sisters ran up to me and tackled me in a hug.
"Hey, babies. I missed you!"
"Who's that?"
"That's my boyfriend, his name is Andrew. Andrew, this is Jasmine and Isabelle. They are six and four." Izzy cowered behind me.
Andrew spoke for the first time, "I promise I'm nice." I left him to get acquainted with the kids, and greeted other relatives.
My grandma hugged me tightly when I said hi. "I missed you so much."
"I missed you, too. Grandma. Would you like to meet my boyfriend? This is Andrew." The tall redhead was now stood next to me. I looked back to see the little ones playing with my cousin's kids.
"Hi, Andrew. It's very nice to meet you."
I stood with my oldest cousin in the kitchen. Andrew was being drilled by my sisters in the other room. I could just barely hear them asking him if he has a crush on me. I sighed and looked to my cousin.
"He's really good with kids," she says.
I rubbed my stomach, "I'm so glad he is."
"Oh my gosh! Deadass?" she exclaimed loudly.
"Shit. Don't tell anyone! I'm going to tell the family before we eat." I watched Andrew as he played toys with the kids. A smile was spread across his face. Izzy took something from Jasmine, and it made her cry. Andrew calmly resolved the situation in under a minute. My heart began to swell at the sight.
"You got it, babe. Come get some of my old maternity clothes before you fly back home. I have lots to get rid off."
"Thank you."
"Okay! We're about to start eating!" My aunt called from the living room. Kayla and I shared a look before I scrambled into the other room.
"I have something to say before it turns to chaos," I laughed, getting everyone's attention. Andrew squeezed my hand. I smiled, "We're going to have another little one joining us for Thanksgiving next year." The teenagers and adults in the room cheered while the smaller kids looked at us confused.
"I'm going to be a grandma!" my mom exclaimed as she stood up to hug me. "You better treat my daughter right." She warned Andrew.
"I won't treat her any less than a queen." My mother smiled at his response.
"Welcome to the family, Andrew."
"Does that mean you and Andrew are getting married?" Jazzy held onto my legs as she spoke.
I bent down to speak to her, "No, honey. Not yet. That means I have a baby in my tummy." Her eyes widened and she started squealing. I looked up at Andrew. He was smiling just as big as I was.

Sorry the chapter wasn't that good. :( I have essay after essay to write for school nowadays and I haven't felt inspired to write anything. I'm going to be taking a break from writing for a couple of weeks to enjoy time with my family and my birthday next week. Hope you like the story so far.
Lots of Love,
