What the hell, it was chaos, multiple people shouting at once but then I saw the smile on Geneva's face and my body relaxed, if I was reading her right then this was good, the noise positive... I hope.

I take a quick look at Alex, who is looking at everyone in horror, I hide my grin, poor Alex could be such a stick in the mud at times, and this sort of chaos was a bit alien to him, though I could remember a time or two, when he would be the one pulling pranks and getting us into trouble.

"Enough!" Gen shouts over the noise and I chuckle as the room silences, their attention on her. She holds up her hand, "This is my ring, it's not going anywhere and neither are they" she growls and locks in on Hunter and Max. "And you two, you are in business with them over that island, so don't go stirring up the others when you are perfectly okay with them" she barks and I see Alex biting his lip to stop from smiling at her. "Now, I will introduce you all to them so please stay still and be quiet" she adds with a huge smile and everyone nods.

She squeezed her hand in ours and turns us slightly, "These are my younger brothers, Rio and Rome, they are married to Amalie, parents of the twins, next to them is Uncle Paul, he is Aunt Lucy's husband and Lily's father, Then Hunter and Max with my niece Gaia, Lily is their wife, Grandpa Duncan and Grandma Olivia, then my fathers Milo, Niko and Papa Luka who you met outside"

"Its a pleasure meeting you all" I said stepping forward and that released the tension, as everyone got up and came to shake hands or hug Geneva, her grandmother cooing over the ring while her Grandpa hugged her tight. I could see her keeping a close eye on everyone and felt my love for her surge, at her protectiveness of us, that this strong independent female was willing to be ours in any sense of the word was mind-blowing.

"Congratulations" Hunter said coming up to shake hands with me "Bloody quick work, but she seems happy" he adds and I grin at him before he steps away to leave me facing all three of his fathers.

I straighten my shoulders and offer my hand in greeting, relaxing a little as Niko shakes it first, his grip tight as he watches me before letting go and Milo takes it "Look after our little girl" he tells me and I nod "Yes sir, we intend to" I tell them, keeping eye contact and feeling like a school boy in front of the headmaster.
"Good, we'll be watching" Luka warns and I gulp as Alex steps up next to us.
"Sir's, is everything all right?" he asks softly, looking between us, before his gaze flicks back to Geneva.  I can hear the steel in his voice and they exchange a look before Luka chuckles at us both.

"Welcome to the family boys" he says clapping us on the shoulders, just as Geneva joins us, looking at her fathers suspiciously.

"Papa?" she asks quietly. Milo steps forward and hugs her, lifting her hand to see the ring.
"It suits you sweetie, as do they, I think you will be very happy" he tells her and I see her eyes fill with emotion.

"Thank you Papa" she whispers before Alex pulls her into his arm and kisses the top of her head, allowing her to lean on him as we all exchange fond looks at her.
Her hand wiggles out from Alex hold towards me and I wrap it in mine, the connection complete between us, as her fathers watch with small smiles on their faces.

The sound of a gong, rings through the hall and Gen lifts her head to smile at us, "Feeding time at the zoo" she tells us and we follow into a grand dining room, that is full of family, the babies going into their highchairs between grandparents and the brothers seating their wives. Gen guides us to three chairs waiting for us and I pull out her seat, waiting for her to sit before pressing a kiss to her cheek. "I love you" I whisper and she turns happy eyes up to me, smiling as i slip into the seat beside her.

Dinner was interesting, eventful and nerve wracking, with talk of the island, Gen's design work, of which Lucy and Paul were very interested and Lucy mentioning she sits on some charities that have links to our parents. 

 Paris was teased by all her siblings as being next and I wondered if I was the only one to notice her nervousness at the questions she was asked.   

Talk soon turned to our engagement and Teddy announced we would have a party at the house, a chance for our families to meet and I grinned as I thought of how interesting that would be. I had no doubt they would all get along wonderfully. Hell I realised we had not said anything to mother or our fathers yet, better do that quickly before they hear from someone else. we can call them in the morning.

 We had agreed with the twins that the next meeting in New York about the island, we would all go together and Max had said he had a few other things he would like to discuss with us, so we agreed to find time in our schedules.   

Then it was time to take her home.  "Stay with us tonight" Alex asks her softly and I can see she wants to.  "I'll make sure we are all up in time for work in the morning" I promise her and she grins back at me.

"Then yes, i'd love to stay" she responds and with a grin I head for home, holding her hand in mine.  The sight of our ring on her finger reminding me that we will need to discuss living arrangements and hoping that she will move into the house with us sooner rather than later.

"Welcome home darling" Alex tells her sweeping her up into his arms and carrying her bridal style through the front door and straight up the stairs, wasting no time in taking her to the playroom to explore our lovely fiancée.
