A/N: Yay! I finally finished this chapter, and it's pretty long too! :) That wasn't a long hiatus from the completion of the last story to the beginning of this story. I'm getting better at updating frequently! Well here it is...!
A week and half had passed since everyone had dinner at the Lynch house. They were all getting ready to go to Hawaii next Saturday. Ross and Laura were standing in Laura's bedroom having a conversation.
"Wait so what you're telling me, is that in order for you to come to Hawaii with us, I have to have with you and your parents?" Ross asked trying to understand what Laura was saying.
"Yes, and don't sound so freaked out. I have dinner with you and your family all the time and it's not like this is your first time meeting them." Laura said trying to convince Ross to do it.
"Yeah but that was me meeting them as the kid that was going to be your costar not as the kid that's dating their daughter." Ross said and Laura laughed and then got serious again.
"Please do it" Laura said and then added, "for me."
Ross rolled his eyes and then smiled. "Fine for you, but if they kill me I want you to have my phone."
"Ugh fine." Laura said and Ross smiled at her. "Don't worry Vanessa's going to be there and they're going to love you."
"How do you know that?" Ross asked nonchalantly.
"Well I love you." Laura said and Ross wrapped his arms around Laura's waist.
"I love you too." Ross said and then he picked her up and started kissing her. Like most of their kisses it started out romantic then gradually got more passionate. Laura decided to break it up.
"Why did you stop?" Ross whined.
"Because you have to go home and get ready." Laura said before Ross put her down. "And dress decent."
"Whatever." Ross said jokingly and then he started walking towards Laura's door to leave. He walked out and less than ten seconds later Vanessa walked in.
"Laura, I'm so sorry but I can't come to the dinner thingy tonight." Vanessa said guilty.
"What why?"
"Lizzy just texted me saying that she wants to do some reshoots, we're going to be there all day and night. I'm sorry." Vanessa explained.
"No it's okay, I understand." Laura said. 'I hope this goes well.' She thought and then she layed down on her bed to take a nap before this dinner that she was so sure was going to be dreadful.
Laura's P.O.V
My mom and dad were in the dining room setting the table and I walked over to the door to let Ross in. He had flowers with him.
"Aw those are beautiful." I said and he smiled.
"They're not for you." Ross said and I started frowning.
"What?"
"They're for your mom." He said and I smiled at him. Now that I think about it, we smile way too much but I guess that's a good thing.
"Oh that's so sweet." I said and then I added "Are you ready?"
"Yeah I am." Ross said and I moved closer to him to fix his tie.
"You seem nervous." I said as I moved my hands up to fix his hair.
"What makes you say that?" He asks me.
"You're sweaty."
"Oh yeah, that's cause I walked here." Ross said.
"It's like a 45 second walk." I say and I couldn't help but smirk.
"Yeah but it's like 80 degrees outside." He says. I doubt it's that hot outside.
"Okay, I'll pretend I believe that." I say and then I grab his hand and walk with him to the dining room.
"Hey guys." My parents say at the same time.
"Hey." Ross says sounding extremely nervous. It was kind of cute. "These are for you."
"Aw Ross you're so sweet, thank you." My mom says all smiley. She took the flowers from him and went to go put them in a vase.
"I thought Vanessa was going to be here." Ross whispered to me.
"So did I, but something came up at the last minute." I whispered back.
Ross and I walked over to the table to sit down. Ross pulled out my chair for me and then I sat down and he sat down next to me. We all awkwardly looked at each other. I put my hand underneath the table to hold Ross's hand. He glanced over at me and smiled. It was quiet for a few minutes before Ross decided to break the silence.
"This dinner is really good." Ross said breaking the silence.
"Thank you so much." My mom said with a said with a smile.
"So how's Austin and Ally going?" My dad asked.
"Same old same old." I responded then I grabbed my iced tea and started drinking it.
"Any good story lines coming up?" He asked.
"Yeah there's a few." I said.
"We can't wait to see them." Dad said with a smile.
"Ross how are your parents?" Mom asked in soft voice.
"Their fine." Ross said nervously. I could tell he was getting even more nervous so I rubbed his hand underneath the table and he smiled.
"Stormie wants to open up a business." I said still trying to reduce the awkwardness.
"Really, what type of business?" Mom asked Ross.
"I don't know, well she doesn't know either. She either wants to open up a restaurant or a nail salon." Ross said and he still sounded nervous.
"Well whatever she decides to do that's good for her." Dad said and Ross started smiling.
"I hope this means I can get free food, or get my nails done for free." Mom said and Ross and I started laughing.
"Of course." He said sweetly.
"Hey I have an idea." Dad said and then he continued, "How about next time Mark and Stormie have dinner with us?"
"Absolutely not." I say and then my parents look at me. "I mean they're so busy and you guys are so busy and we're so busy, I don't think we could all have dinner together."
"Ross, you should ask your parents if they want to have dinner with us sometime." My mom says completely ignoring what I said. How rude?
"Uh okay. That sounds like fun." Ross says.
"Excellent." My mom says. "I'm gonna go bring out the dessert."
"I'll help you." Ross offers and my mom starts smiling.
"No sweetie it's okay, Jack can help me."
"Why me? Ross offered." Dad said before getting up and walking to the kitchen.
"Why would you do that?" I asked.
"Cause I don't want to disappoint them, they're your parents." Ross says in a low voice. Aww he's so cute.
"Aw."
"Yeah, hopefully we can get out of it and it'll just be our parents. I think I did good with this whole dinner thing."
"Yeah you did better than I thought. I thought that you were going to pass out from being so nervous." I said and then I started laughing. When I looked up at him he had a straight face.
"Sorry." I said and he smiled and kissed my cheek.
"It's okay." I said and then my parents walked in to the room.
"Guys we had a slight problem." My mom said.
"What is that?" I asked.
"I kind of, sort of, burnt the pie I was making." Dad said slowly.
"That's okay." Ross said politely.
"So how about we watch a movie instead?" Mom suggested.
"No." I said too quickly.
"Why not?" She asked. "Ross don't you think watching a movie is a good idea." Great she's bringing him into this.
"Yeah, we should watch The Lion King." Ross suggested. I swear I think my mom's eyes just lit up because she got really excited.
"That's my favorite movie, let's go." She said and she grabbed Ross's hand and dragged him to the living room.
"Well your mom sure likes him." Dad said and I smiled.
"I know. What about you?"
"Yes he seems nice."
"So does that mean I can go to Hawaii with him and his family, and my castmates?" I asked sounding a bit too happy.
"Of course you can." He said and I jumped up and gave him a hug.
"Thank you, thank you thank you." I half said, half yelled.
"I'm gonna go get your mom before I lose my wife and you lose your boyfriend." Dad said joking around and I started laughing. Before I knew it Ross was back in the dining room with me.
"Did you get sick of my mom yet?" I asked with a raised eyebrow and he sat down next to me.
"No. Your dad sent me in here to see you. I was trying to watch The Lion King." He said and I started laughing.
"He said I can go to Hawaii with you guys." I said and Ross's eyes lit up.
"Really?" Ross asked.
"Yes." I said happily.
After hanging out with Laura for a while Ross decided to go home and get changed and then was taking off his shirt in the living room when his siblings walked in.
"So Ross how was dinner with the in laws?" Riker asked and Rydel and Rocky laughed.
"It went good, I guess." Ross said before walking over to the bathroom and throwing his shirt in the hamper. Then walking back into the living room.
"Oh tell me you didn't say something stupid." Rydel says nervously.
"We barley talked, we basically looked at each other for the whole time, it was kind of awkward."
"Was Vanessa there?" Riker asked.
"No she wasn't, she had something else to do so she wasn't there." Ross said and then there was a knock on their door.
"I'll go get it." Rocky said walking over to the door.
"Next time you have a family dinner with Laura's family, invite me but make sure Vanessa is there." Riker said with a smile.
"I'd laugh if I thought you were joking." Ross said and he bent down to fix his socks.
"Hey LaurLaur." Riker said, and Ross got up.
"Hey guys." Laura said before moving her eyes to Ross. "Wow, that's a nice site to see." Ross smirked and winked at her.
"What are you doing here?" Ross asked walking over to her and putting his arm around her.
"I got you a gift and I wanted to give it to you." Laura said.
"Aw that's so sweet. What did you get us?" Ryland asked and Laura made a face.
"Uh well you see I um…"
"He's just kidding." Ross said and Laura did a sigh of relief.
"Oh okay." She said and then Ross grabbed her hand and pulled her off to his room.
"So what did you get me?" Ross asked a little too excitedly.
Why are you so excited? It's just a shirt from Hollister." Laura said with a giggle. "It's a thanks for making it through a dinner with my parents gift."
Ross took the bag that Laura had and opened it. He pulled out a pink Hollister shirt and he started smiling.
"I love it." Ross said and then he pulled Laura into a hug and she hugged him back. After they let go she pulled away and looked at him up and down.
"Is there a reason why you're shirtless?" Laura asked biting her lip.
"I was in the middle of getting undressed but if my shirtlessness is having an inappropriate effect on you, I'll put a shirt." Ross said with a smirk and Laura rolled her eyes at him.
"Oh shut up." Laura said and she tried to playfully pushed him. Before she could succeed he grabbed. Her arms and playfully through her on his bed. She was laughing a little. Then he got on top of her and started tickling her. Laura started laughing so loudly that Ross took his hand and cover her mouth. He stopped tickling her and uncovered her mouth. She was out of breath from laughing so much.
"I'm gonna get you for that." Laura jokingly said.
"Really, you're gonna get me for that?" Ross said obviously not believing her.
"Shut up." Was her reply and Ross started laughing cause that made him think that he won.
"I'm gonna go home so I can start packing." Laura said and Ross started whining. She couldn't help but laugh.
"Why can't you stay here?"
"Cause I told my parents that I was just stopping by and that I was gonna come home."
"Tell them you wanna stay."
"Fine but if they ask I'm slept in Rydel's room." Laura said and Ross started laughing. Then she added, "I'm being serious."
"Okay okay." Ross said and then he started to get off of her but she pulled him back down. "Whoa someone's feisty. If you wanted me to stay all you had to do was say so."
"I want you to stay." Laura said with a smile and Ross returned the smile. She pulled out her phone and started texting. "I'm texting my mom to tell her I'm staying here."
"Okay." Ross said. After Laura finished typing her message to her to her mom ross started kissing her. It was sweet and full of real emotion. A minute later Laura's phone vibrated. She opened her phone and went to the message. "What did she say?"
"She said okay but sleep in Rydel's room or on the couch." Laura said
"Well that's not going to happen."Ross said. He laughed then he started kissing her again.
