Something was off. He was sitting at their kitchen table NOT cooking. Cooking dinner was his thing not Lance's. Something was really off. Lance must have something to say. It's become a pattern. The first time Lance cooked dinner was when he wanted to move in together. The next when he wanted to get married. Then having a child, opening up his bakery, and then getting a dog. What could it be this time? He doesn't understand why he does this.

They have been together for almost ten years now why can't Lance just be up front about what is on his mind? But he waits sitting patiently at the table as Lance starts putting food on the table. The second he sits down and folds his hands on his lap Takashi knows he's gonna say it. "So..." He leans forward. Ready to find out what big news Lance wants to tell him.

Takashi sits up and reaches out, placing a hand on his cheek. Smiling. "Before you start can I just ask, is everything okay? You aren't in trouble right?" Lance nods and turns his head to kiss his palm. He smiles and retracts his hand. At least he can relax while he listens. He looks at his plate. He's so lucky to have a husband like Lance. He made pot roast tonight. It must have been in the slow cooker all day while they were working. He cuts in and begins to eat looking up to listen.

Takashi frowns as he watches Lance take a deep breath and fidget with his hands. He's nervous. This must be serious. Now he's worried. Lance looks up and takes his hand. Squeezing it tightly. "You know how I came to the states right?" Takashi nods and kisses Lance's knuckles hoping to calm him down. "They do batches of people that just get lucky to leave to the states or Canada or really wherever they have family to go to. I was the first of my siblings to go...then my sister's came and my two brothers and my aunt." Takashi begins to move forward. Giving him his undivided attention. "My parents are here now, They're citizens now."

"Lance that's great, the last time you saw them you were-"

"I was seven I know. But it's not great 'Kashi I kind of told them they could stay here so I could help them move into their apartment and get settled." Takashi tilts his head to the side and gives his hand a gentle squeeze.

"I don't see how that isn't great Lance, you finally have your whole family together." Lance shakes his head and leans forward in his chair. Pressing his face into Takashi's shoulder.

"They don't know you exist...They don't know I married a man." Oh. That explains it. That's why he's so nervous he hasn't seen his parents in 23 years and he has no idea how they would react to him being Bi. He doesn't even know these people. He barely remembers Cuba. Wrapping his arms around him Takashi sighs.

"We'll figure this out okay? When will they be here?" He whispers pulling him close. Rubbing his back. Lance lifts two fingers in the air. "Two days...We can make this work Lance. C'mon let's eat before Selena wakes up and sees we are eating beef without her." Lance snorts and sits up wiping his eyes as he moves back into his seat. Together they eat, Lance keeps his head on his shoulder and smiles. Lucky to have such a good husband like Takashi. It's not much later until a soft pitter patter of paws are heard. "Speak of the dev-" he is cut off by loud howling. The two laugh and lean over to cover their basset hound daughter in kisses. This is their family even if his parents don't accept them he still has another family to fall on that loves him.

Lance is nervous about his family come over today, Takashi can see it in the way they wake up early to take care of pastries downstairs for the breakfast run and Lance drops a tray. He helps him out every morning before leaving to go work at one of the many state colleges. He teaches there but he only has three classes a day and they are right after another so he can come home and help out in the cafe. So he will be home before Lance's parents arrive. But the thing is Lance's emotions always rub off onto him. While he is working he finds himself fidgeting. More worried about how Lance is doing at the Bakery than how his parents will react to himself. He even vents to his students about the whole thing.

"Just flex for them and they will fall in love with you, I know it worked for us." A student yells out causing the room to break out in laughter.

"Thanks but I don't think that will work, the part I'm scared about the most is not them hating me. It's my horrible spanish. We have been together for ten years but my spanish speaking abilities are horrible. His Japanese is better than my-" The chiming of a his alarm cuts him off. It's time for him to go home. "-Well. You guys can leave I'll see you in two days. Don't forget you have presentations next week." The room is filled with groans as they all begin to walk out. He locks the door behind him as he walks out making his way up to his car to drive home. On his way home he stops at a cupcake shop and grabs a box of four of the salted caramel cupcakes for Lance. They might own their own bakery but he knows these are Lance's favorites and they will help him calm down.

He walks through the bakery's front door and is greeted by Selena who he leaned down to pet her head. Standing up as Lance walks over he smiles and extends the box of cupcakes to his husband and kisses his cheek. "Salted Caramel." Lance gasps and takes it peppering Takashi's face in plenty of kisses.

"You are the best, I have tried remaking these but I just can't do it the same way. I even tried to trade my Lobster tail cream recipe for it!" He pulls back and smiles moving to a table to open it and eat one. Takashi sits with him and lifts Selena into his arms. "They'll be here in a few hours and when things really slow down I'll close up for them." Takashi takes his hand and squeezes it gently.

"It's going to be okay La-" He is instantly cut off by the door opening and the bell chiming. Lance's sister busting into the cafe.

"They're here early!"

Lance and Takashi stand up at the same time. Selena howls and runs up to her. "What do you mean they are here early!?" They both shout. Lance sits back down and holds his head. Not knowing what to do at this point.
