*Saturday evening*

*Liam's P.O.V*

Harry's and Niall's parents haven't gotten here yet, but Liz, Harry, Aeron, and Niall have been going crazy all day. We barely got the food done in time because the girls kept getting destracted by other things like decorations. Harry and everyone were in the kitchen getting things together. I got a call on my cellphone and looked at the caller I.D. It was Harry's mum. I answered hesitantly.

"Hello?" I say.

"Liam, where is Harry? He hasn't been answering his phone?" She asked.

"He's helping in the kitchen, hold on I'll grab him for you." I say, putting my phone to the palm of my hand to call Harry in the room.

"Harry, your mum is on the phone!" I yell.

Harry ran into the room and tripped over pratcially nothing. He let out a cry of pain and stummbled to his feet, brushing the dirt off his clothes. I gave him the phone and went to help finish everything in the kitchen. I heard bits and pieces of Harry's conversation.

"Yes mum. No mum. Mum please just stop alright, I'm fine it's just really important if you guys listen when you get here." He says.

I walked over to Aeron and Eleanor.

"Hey girls, what are you two working on?" I ask.

"Don't try and talk, take that knife and slice the apples for the pie, so Niall can put it in the oven." Aeron said.

I picked up a knife and did as told. After the apples were sliced, I laid them into the pie crust and handed it to Niall, who slid it inside the oven. As he closed the door, there was a knock at the front door. I saw Aeron snap her head in the direction of the knock. It's like her heartbeat was visible through her sheer blue button up shirt.

"I've got it." Harry called from the living room.

I walked into the room as Gemma came through the door.

"Harry, hi. I've missed you." She chirped, wrapping her arms around her brother tightly.

"Hey Gem, I've missed you too. Everyone come in here. Gemma's here!" He yelled.

*Aeron's P.O.V*

Harry just called us into the front. Gemma's here. I guess that's his sister. They said she's the one that we should worry about. I'm screwed.

"Aeron come on. You've gotta meet Gemma." Liam said.

My heart started beating unnecessarily fast. I can't go in there. What if she hates me?

"No, I can't." I say.

"Aeron stop, your being ridiculous." He replied, taking my hand.

I pulled away from him.

"No." I said.

"Would you like me to get Harry?" He asked.

How will he help, she could still hate my guts.

"No, no we don't need him," I sigh."Fine, I'll come out."

I swallowed hard and started towards the front. I stepped into the room and everyone looked at me.I scanned the room until my eyes landed on a girl about 22. Her hair was brown and pulled tightly into a pony-tail. She was absolutely stunning.

"Who is this?" She asked the boys.

"Um, Gemma this is my girlfriend, Aeron. Aeron this is my sister Gemma." Harry said, holding my hand in his. 

"Hello, Aeron. I'm Gemma." She said, pulling me into a hug.

I was taken back by her kindness and hugged back.

"It's nice to meet you too."I say, chuckling.

Well that was easer than I thought. Now it's just his mother and father left. I hope it's just as easy as meeting Gemma. I pulled away and stepped back beside Harry. He wasn't paying attention, but was looking at the door. I glanced past Gemma and to an older couple. The woman looked remarkably like Harry. Holy damn. Harry's mother anf father are here. I may have said this already, but holy shit.

"Mum. It's nice seeing you." Harry said, walking over to her.

"You to sun." She says, hugging him.

"Dad, hello." He continued.

Instead of hugging the man, he gave him a firm handshake. Harry looked back at me and I swallowed the lump in my throat. He motioned for me to come over, but I didn't move. I felt a hand on my shoulder and it was Liam. I turned back to Harry and he had his hand out for me to take. I took it and made my way over to the man and woman.

"Mum, dad this is Aeron. My uhh.. girlfriend." Harry stated.

"It's nice meeting you Mrs.Cox." I say.

Harry's mom didn't speak nor move. What was she doing? I was terrified. Was she sizing me up to see if I was good enough for her son? Already making the decision to split us apart. Speak woman, speak. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but closed it again. That's it, my life has been destroyed.

"Mum, are you okay?" Harry asked.

"When was this?" She asked, harshly.

"8 months ago." I answer.

"Uh huh and how long did you plan on keeping this from me Harry?" She asked again.

"I didn't plan on keeping it from you. I was going to tell you, but I got caught up. And before you say we can't see each other any longer, I don't care what you think. I love that girl more than anything in the entire world. Besides my career, she's the only thing that makes me happy, regardless of her skin color. I hope that you can accept her for who she is, but even if you can't, we're staying together whether you like it or not, and there's something else you should know," Harry paused.

"And what would that be?" His father asked.

I looked at him and nudged his elbow. Harry looked at me and kissed my cheek. Not only his parents were nervous about what he was about to say. Everybody was all ears waiting for the secret we've held in for two days. He's telling everyone.

"Spit it out Harry." Liam says from behind me.

Once again, I say holy shit.
