As Jackson and Maggie drove closer to the airport she became more and more nervous. This would be her dad's first time meeting Jackson and she wanted everything to go smoothly. Jackson was nothing like Dean who , her parents hated from the beginning. She looked over at jackson and smiled softly , how could they not love him she wondered. He's smart , handsome, and treats better than any other man she's had. "Maggie, Maggie , Babe" Jackson said looking at her lovingly "We're here!" Jackson said with anxiousness in his voice . Maggie could tell he was nervous, and she found that sweet because Jackson was usually confident in himself.

They only had to wait a few minutes until Maggie spotted her dad. "Hey dad, over here" she yelled so loud a few heads turned, but she didn't care because it had been awhile since she had seen her dad.

"Whose that with your dad"Jackson muttered to Maggie

"Ummm, looks like our mailman." She responded with clear confusion in her voice .

"Maggie! Sweetheart!" Her dad said as he approached with the mailman.

"Dad!" exclaimed jumping into his arms giving him the biggest hug imaginable.

"Is that our mailman, Dad?" She whispered in his ear.

He pulled away "Maggie, i'd like you to meet Charles, he's a very good friend of mine ."

" Hello Charles, correct me if i'm wrong but weren't you our former mailman," Maggie said as she extended her hand toward him.

"That's right, glad too see you're still as sharp as ever " he replied with a smile in his voice . "And you must be the famous Jackson " Maggie's dad , Bill, said as he turned to Jackson.

"Yes , that is me , I've heard so much about you . Nice to meet you ." Jackson replied , smiling because he was "the famous Jackson" "The pleasure is all mine " he responded back as they gave each other a firm handshake. "Well, I know you both must be hungry, so let's go home so you can eat!" Maggie said eager to cook with her dad .

She , her mom, and her dad used to cook lasagna all the time, it was kind of their thing . Now they could carry on the tradition with Jackson ...and Charles she guessed, since he decided to tag along .

The car ride home took forever for Maggie because her dad kept telling these embarrassing stories of a younger, much quirkier Maggie . Jackson loved every bit though because he find maggie's quirks adorable. When they finally arrived at the penthouse they raced inside , it was raining as per usual and she didn't want her dad getting sick . They went upstairs, kicked off their shoes , washed their hands, and immediately starting cooking. As they were cooking Maggie noticed that Charles knew the recipe relatively well... which she found a little odd. When they finally finished cooking they all say down at the table.

When they finished their meal, Maggie could tell that there was something on her dad's chest .

" Something wrong daddy? " She asked with concern in her voice .

Bill cut a look at Charles and responded with "There is something I... we need to tell you Maggie. "

"Dad everything is okay , right . You're okay, right ." She grew more and more concerned by the millisecond. The last time a parent visited Seattle, they died .

"Oh, yes... it's nothing like that Maggie." He assured her .

" Okay, then what is it then? " You could hear the relief in her voice as she picked up her wine glass to take a sip, she needed one after how stressed she was for that quick second .

Bill let out a big sigh and said "Charles and I are more than good friends ... we're partners."

Maggie almost choked on her wine, did a spit tick , and dropped her glass. Maggie being Maggie dove to pick it up and because she was in such shock she drove her hand into a piece of glass.
