"So, what are you doing, tomorrow night?" I ask Ian as we walk to my car,

"Uh, nothing, I usually have nothing to do on Saturdays, I might hang out with Kash."

"Ooh, who's Kash?"

Ian's cheek heat up and he starts playing with his nails, "He's my boss but we're sleeping together," I gasp,

"Scandalous, I love it." I wink as I start the car up, "I just thought you could get even and meet my parents," I look at Ian who sits silent, "I know you're probably nervous, but don't be, they'll love you guys,"

"You guys?"

"Oh yeah, I may have told them, your whole family would be there," Ian's eyes widen,

"You've met my family, are you sure you want my family to meet your poised and rich family, I mean compared to you guys, we're trash." I punch his shoulder,

"Don't even say that, just because we have some money, that doesn't make us ay better than you. Now! I'll be to pick you guys up around 7:30, so please be ready, my mother hates late guests." I smile, unlocking the door for him to get out as we pull up to his house,

"How should we dress?" He asks from the porch and I smile, shaking my head,

"I'll see you tomorrow, goodnight!"

"Okay, I don't want you guys to act any differently than you normally do, my parents aren't stuck up pricks, they're actually pretty cool. We do say grace. We're having meatloaf and mashed potatoes, anyone got any complaints?"

"Nope"

"Alright, let's go." I unlock the door to my house and they file in,

"Ooh, you must be the Gallaghers, welcome! Come on in, don't be shy! My name is Sheri and this is my husband Tom,"

"Wait aren't you the principal at the high school?" Fiona asks as she shakes my father's hand,

"Yes, and your brother is a very lovely young man, and very respectful," My dad looks at me and I wink,

"Okay, dinner is almost done, if everyone could have a seat please." Everyone files into seats after my father sits at the head of the table, it goes, my dad, Fiona Liam on her lap, Lip, Debs, Carl, then Ian and then me and at the other side of the table my mother would sit,

"Okay, who is everyone?"

Everyone goes down the line saying their names, "Nice to meet you all, and thank you for joining us for dinner,"

"'Thank you for having us. When Ian said Y/N had invited us, I thought it was a joke, we aren't invited anymore," Fiona laughs and I shake my head, laughing,

"This is me letting Ian get me back since he was so against me meeting his family earlier," I laugh and Ian just chews on his bottom lip,

"You ashamed of us?" Carl asked as he built a fort out of the silverware, and napkins,

"No, of course not, it's just I didn't know Y/N then, but now that I know her a little better, I realize she doesn't care where I'm from or where I live, she justs accepts me for who I am," I smile at him, grabbing his hand under the table,

"Always!"

"Dinner is ready!" My mother smile, walking in, with a tub of mashed potatoes, going back to grab the meatloaf.

She sat them in the middle of the table and Carl reached first, "Hah! You have to say grace!" I point, grabbing his hand, the others linking hands, as we bowed our hands,

"Dear heavenly father..."
