Surprise Visit -- End of December 2017

Nicolae and I had just gotten back from Egypt visiting my mum and it was actually basically the morning after we had gotten back in.  Nic stayed because, well, he could.  Tristan and Sidney were in the living room watching some movies while Nic and I started working on some things for lunch.  I loved that Sid and I could just be ourselves with our boyfriends.  I was in some fuzzy socks, one of Nic's jumpers and some leggings with my hair up in a messy bun.  I was exhausted from traveling and I knew Nic was, too.  We were making enough lunch for the two love-birds in the living room, as well.  

I was making some hearty soup becauase it was rather cold outside.  I took out a spoonful and held it up for Nic to taste.  "Does it need any more herbs or anything?" I asked him as he let me feed him a little bit of it.  And that was when we heard a knock on the door.  I looked over the little bar area and at Sidney.  "Who's here?" I asked as she was closest to the window and door to check.

I tasted what Rosalynn had on the spoon and shook my head. "It's delicious," I assured her as I finished cutting the bread to be ate with the soup she was making. The knock surprised me and I looked over at Rosalynn -- who looked adorable in my sweater. We all were in lazy clothing -- I was wearing sweatpants with a regular shirt because we had just gotten back from Egypt basically. I realized that it might be Ros's family and I was sure she did, too, because her eyes had gotten wide.

I had suggested to Dora that it would be a great day to visit the girls who were living together.  I figured surprising them would be a grand idea -- I did not want them to go out of their way to do anything for us or anything like that.  They were Weasleys -- it was in our blood basically.  I knocked again, looking at Dora with raised eyebrows.  "I see movement..." I said, sort of peering through the townhouse window.  "They better not be ignoring us." I said it with a smile because I was sure that they were doing a quick tidy-up.

Myself in a similar outfit to Ros as I wiggled my feet as I heard the knock and it made me jump. Looking to the door back to my sister as I went to the window to see who it was as I saw mum and dad standing there. It looked like mum had brought something for us. " It's mum and dad..." I said simply as we looked around. The place was presentable as I walked to the door. Tristan pulled a full tshirt on as he was wearing a muscle shirt. Smirking, I didn't mind the view but I guess he had to cover up. " Hey!" I said as I pulled the door open for our parents.

Dad and Mumsy had never met Nic... and this was not the way I wanted it to happen, but I really had no choice in the matter now. I did a quick glance over of my boyfriend and smiled nervously at him, biting my bottom lip a little bit. "I'm sorry,"I whispered to him quietly as I went over to the door to give the parents hugs.

"What a great surprise," I said to them, helping with their coats. "Dad... Mumsy... Tristan's here visiting... and this is Nic," I said nervously, knowing that I had to try to stay on top fo the ball with Dad being there. Mumsy would not care at all. She was realistic. Dad, well, he was Dad.

Smiling as I walked over to the group that had formed by the door. " Hi Mr. Weasley, Mrs. Weasley. "I was always formal even when I had lived with them for that little bit. I grinned as I looked into the kitchen perhaps we should double that recipe?" I suggested.

I was a little stunned by the girls rushing to give us hugs... but seeing boys there, I could understand why. However, this Nic was brand new information. I politely and shockingly shook his hand. I guess blindsiding me was one way to keep me semi-tame with boyfriends. "How long have you been in the picture?" I asked tersely. A quick glance around the flat showed that the boys may have been there for more than just that particular afternoon.

I reached out my hand to Mr. Weasley. "It's very nice to meet both of you," I said, hoping my accent was not too alarming to them. I backed off just a little bit and nodded at Tristan. "Ah, yes, I believe I will work on the doubling aspect." I had a feeling Rosalynn would handle her father the best that she could.

Before walking back into the kitchen, I did take what Mrs. Weasley had in her hands. "Let me take this from you," I said to her politely and with a smile.

Looking to Nic, " Here I'll lend a hand to add more to that recipe." I said as I led him to the kitchen as I could see questions brewing. No right answers here. " No right answer best to get in trouble later for not saying anything." I said quietly to him.Smiling as he took the parcel out of Dora's hands, " Good formal but quick." I nodded.

My dad seemed to be scaling our home. " glad you guys came for a visit." I said as I led the way back to the couches. Mum said they wanted to come by for a little while. " Well, we like to take turns on the cooking. We both clean up. " We loved having the independence to have Tristan and Nic here pretty much 24/7. Which was nice.

"Dad," I said quickly letting Nic escape.  "Nic has been around since the summer.  Nothing too crazy or anything."  I was not sure if I was going to make it worse or not.  I was glad that Tristan was able to get Nic away a little bit, too.  He knew all too well how Dad could be.  

"What brought you by?  We were going to be over for Christmas soon..." I figured I would try to divert Dad's attention as much as possible. I helped Sid herd them towards the couch to leave the boys in the kitchen area.

"I will just follow your suit," I said to Tristan honestly. The girls looked super nervous with their parents being there. I could not blame them, it was always nervewracking when parents visited.

Smiling as they seemed to be bustling around. " I hope we didnt put ourselves out?" I asked the girls. Looking to the girls as they seemed to be on their best behaviour. They looked like they had been together for a while. Figuring I would excuse myself to see the boys in the kitchen. " That smells delicious."

"We wanted to see your place and how it was coming along," I said, looking at my youngest. "Have you known about this since the summer?" I raised my eyebrows, pointing at Ros and the kitchen where her thing was cooking. I was not exactly pleased that this had been a big secret. I knew I was difficult... but at least Sidney never hid her boyfriends from me.

I rolled my eyes. Of course he was going to start to ask Sidney what she knew about it. I sighed and sat down, letting my dad ask questions. At least he was not hounding my boyfriend yet. "I took him to meet Mum and Nefi," I added, knowing that he would find out about that little trip soon enough.
