4 weeks later.

As I sat at the table with Iain, I sighed in frustration, fear was growing inside me. I didn't think I was even capable of being this afraid.

Iain grabbed my hand gently and stroked it soothingly.

"Come on, you can do it. Just relax alright. This guest list is a walk in the park.",

I turned my head sharply to him and glared an icy stare. Did he just say walk in the park?! I have to invite my best friend Angela, who I haven't spoken to in forever! I have to invite my parents! My parents.. Siblings, other friends, cousins, then after we're done sorting out my list, we have to tackle Iain's!

"Don't you dare say that. Do you know my family oh right you don't, BECAUSE YOU NEVER MET THEM. No one even knew about this. Angela doesn't know about this. Oh my gracious. Your sister. Iain. Oh my gra-",

"Hey hey hey, look calm down. Deep breaths Aaliyah, because you're not breathing. The wedding is months from now okay, people get engaged unexpectedly all the time, and some already thought we were! Let's just put this aside, throw a dinner, and tell everyone okay?",

I inhaled then exhaled deeply, but still not feeling any better.

"You make it sound so easy. Do you have any idea what my parents are like? My family in general?",

Iain pushed back his hair and exhaled loudly.

"Hopefully not as dramatic as you.",

I gasped noisily, ready to shoot back the shots he just fired. Before I could open my mouth he exclaimed "I'm kidding! See, so dramatic geez.",

I scrunched up my face into a scowl, completely unamused and on the verge of a heart attack. I couldn't stall forever, I had to make the calls eventually and hopefully when I do they decide not to take a chunk out of my neck.

I placed the poppy flowers on the TV stand in the living room, it added a pleasant earthly sweet smell that I liked.

Ding dong

Smoothing out my dress, I walked briskly to open the front door, passing by Iain and Lilli playing tag, I whisper yelled for them to cease.
Reaching out for the door handle I took a deep breathe, exhaling, I opened the door.

"Aaliyah Brianna Anjay Pinkston.",
Damn. Second middle name too? She's angry. She's so angry.
"Young lady what in the world are you thinking?! Getting engaged without calling your mother! I should slap you so hard your brain actual gain some sense.",
I stood frozen, my mother is a very intimidating woman, she could make Bigfoot run away.
"Are you just gonna stand there or let me in you fool!",
I quickly moved aside and welcoming in my mother, closing the door behind her I prepared for introductions.

"So where's this fiancé of yours?", my mother asked, looking upon me with accusing eyes.
Must hearing his title, Iain walked in the foyer with Lilli trailing close.

"You must be Ms. Pinkston, it's such a pleasure to finally meet you.",
Kissing my mom's hand, Iain apparently also kissing her ass.

"Iain! What a nice name for a gentlemen.",
My eyes almost popped out of my head. No yelling? No snide remarks? Um who is this woman and where did she put my mother?! Did Iain just woo my mom?! Unbelievable. Unfuckingbelievable.
In the background I heard someone clearing their throat.

"Oh! Mom, this is Lilli, Iain's daughter and your soon to be grandchild.",

There it is. The moment I've been waiting for. The judgement.
