"Hey babe" Paige said to Emma as they sat cuddled up on the sofa watching TV "you know how we're flying over for the UK tour tomorrow?"

Emma looked up from where she was resting her head on Paige's chest. "Yeaah" she answered, not sure where this was going.

"Well I was thinking...do you maybe wanna meet my family?" Paige mumbled quickly, nervous for the answer. She'd been thinking about asking since the UK tour was confirmed, Emma was a big part of her life now and she really wanted to show her that.

Emma sat up to look at her properly, slightly overwhelmed. Did she really just ask that? Were they even there yet? She loved Paige with all her heart and could really see a future for them together, and that was the reason she felt so scared by the question. What if they didn't like her and it ruined their relationship? She shook her head at the thought and forced out a smile. "I'd love to meet them" she replied quietly.

Paige frowned. "It doesn't seem so, what's wrong? You don't have to, I won't make you."

"I do want to, I really do, I'm just scared they won't like me" Emma sighed "I'm not exactly like you guys and I don't want them to hate me because then you'd probably leave me."

"Babe...do you really think that of me?" Paige asked sadly. This wasn't going like she'd hoped it would.

"I just...I know how much they mean to you and I don't want to screw up because at the end of the day family wins."

Paige looked down and took hold of Emma's hands, placing a gentle kiss on each one before looking back up at her. "You're just as important to me as they are, trust me. They already love you simply because I do, but even before we were together they watched you wrestle and thought you were great, even though I kicked your arse a few times."

Emma giggled a bit, feeling slightly relieved but still doubtful. "Are you sure?"

"Totally sure" Paige replied with a smile. "Besides, mum's been pestering me about meeting you ever since she heard about us. It'll be a miracle if you still love me after it."

"You know I'll love you no matter what, I can't help it" Emma said, leaning forward to press a soft kiss to Paige's lips. Her doubt was now replaced with plain nerves, as to be expected.

Paige smiled into the kiss and pulled Emma onto her lap, resting her hands on her hips. "Does that mean you'll come?"

Emma pretended to think for a moment before grinning. "Yes I'll come you goof" she answered, kissing Paige's cute little nose.

Paige scrunched her nose up happily, laughing as Emma placed small kisses all over her face before finally meeting her lips again, kissing her lovingly. She was still amazed at the effect Emma had on her, turning her stomach into a fluttering mess time and time again.

"I want tomorrow to come fast" Emma murmured when they pulled away, resting her forehead against Paige's.

"So do I" Paige smiled. "It'll come faster with sleep, so let's go to bed. Thankfully we have a decent timed flight. I'll call and let mum know tomorrow cos right now I'm sleepy and I want to cuddle my Emmazing girlfriend properly."

"Sounds like a plan to me" Emma chuckled as they both got up and went through to their bedroom, soon falling asleep in each others arms.


"Rise and shiiiiiiine" Emma called cheerily, opening the curtain in the bedroom window to let the sunlight in. Paige groaned and turned over, pulling the covers up over her head. Being woken up was bad enough, but blinding sunlight on top of that? No way. "Come oooon Paige, get up. I made coffee and we have to leave for the airport in like two hours" came Emma's voice again, closer this time as she stood next to where Paige was laid. "Don't make me jump on you, you know I'll do it."

Paige sighed and threw the covers off her head, scowling up at Emma. "There, I'm awake."

Emma laughed at the childish look on Paige's face, she was like a kid that didn't want to go to school. "I know you're awake, I said to get up. You can sleep on the plane if you really want to."

Paige made a face at her then sat up, rubbing her eyes sleepily and brushing her messy hair out of her face.

"Good job" Emma teased, dropping a kiss on the top of her grumpy girlfriend's head. "I left enough hot water for you to shower, you can do that while I check we have our passports and tickets packed in our hand luggage."

"Mmm 'k, thanks" Paige mumbled, standing up and gently kissing Emma's cheek before stumbling to the bathroom, still half asleep.

Emma smiled to herself as she walked past the bathroom, her smile turning into a laugh as she heard the shower turn on shortly followed by a loud squeal. "Might wanna check the temperature next time" she called playfully.

"Fuck off" Paige grumbled back. Emma laughed again and walked into the living room to check they'd packed everything they needed. She was just leaving everything neatly by the door for when they left when she heard Paige walk up behind her.

"Are you human now?" Emma teased, turning round to look at Paige, who was now fully dressed in her favourite black and white stripy shirt and black pants, complete with her signature eye make-up.

Paige rolled her eyes. "Don't take it personal, I hate getting up."

"I know you do, it's strangely adorable."

"Aww, c'mere" Paige said, holding her arms out for a hug. Emma grinned and accepted, stepping forward and wrapping her arms around Paige as the other woman did the same, nuzzling into Emma's neck. "I'm really happy we're gonna do this" Paige whispered, pressing a kiss to Emma's pulse point.

Emma shivered at the gentle touch. "I am too" she replied, her fingertips tracing random patterns over Paige's back. "I love you."

Paige smiled and lifted her head to look Emma in the eyes. "I love you too." She then leant forward and captured Emma's mouth in a sweet kiss, their lips fitting together perfectly. Emma sighed and pulled Paige closer, parting her lips to let their tongues meet, deepening the kiss. They stood like that for several minutes, completely lost in each other until the were pulled out of their trance by the doorbell.

"Ugh, cab's here" Emma said, pulling away and catching her breath.

"Saved by the bell" Paige winked, grabbing her 'Fearless Nikki' snapback off the back of a chair and putting it on backwards as she always did. "I'll get the taxi guy to help me load our stuff if you lock up."

"Sure thing" Emma agreed, chuckling as she heard her girlfriend open the door and ask the cab driver for help. She gave the house a quick once-over to make sure everything was switched off then picked up her keys and left, closing and locking the door behind her. Her nerves were starting to increase now they were one step closer to actually going, but she calmed down when she looked over to the cab and saw Paige desperately trying to push the boot closed, triumphantly punching the air when she succeeded. You'll be ok Emma thought as she walked over. Whatever happens...you have her.
