A/N: Thanks again to the people who are reading and reviewing! Oh and I am totally not bashing Utau in any way! I love her (: Enjoy!

Chapter 4. If a girl wants to meet a guy's family, let them. It means they care.

Today, was one of the many days that Amu would take a stroll in the park with Ikuto. It nearly being a month since the two have been together. Even walking just side by side was enough for the two of them.

Amu decided to initiate a conversation between the two of them.

"Ikuto, it's been a great month so far, but there is still something.. missing." she said, hoping he will agree with the request she was about to make.

"What would that be?" Ikuto glanced down at the rosette, curious to what know she was up to.

Amu shifted uncomfortably. It was going to be extremely hard to ask him this question. He has this mysterious aura to him, and you can never guess what he will say next. He's just so unpredictable. What if he says no? Don't say no!

Amu began to falter, maybe she should back out? No! She shouldn't, she must do this! Alright she was prepared.

"Can I meet your family?" Amu spluttered. Okay, she said it.

Ikuto stared at her seriously for a moment. Oh no, she knew this would happen. Maybe his family was full of spies? Or maybe they were thieves and he just didn't want her to know! Her imagination was getting the better of her.

He finally broke the stare and chuckled to himself.

"Don't look so paranoid, of course you can meet my family." Ikuto looked down at her, a small smile was on his face.

Amu sighed. Phew! All the pressure and wild imaginations were gone. He sure did give her a scare though. Besides that though, she was really excited. She could finally meet his mom! Amu had already met Utau, his younger sister. Lets just say things did not go so well. Utau hated her guts instantly. Who knew she had a brother complex?

Amu slapped Ikuto on his arm.

"Don't scare me like that, idiot!" she huffed.

"You can come over tomorrow night." Ikuto replied, ruffling her hair in return for the slap that she gave him.

"Okay! I can't wait!" Amu looked up at him and smiled brightly. Time to make an impression!

Ikuto drove Amu to his house. On the way there Amu couldn't stop mumbling to herself. Saying things like "She's going to hate me" or "I'll scare her off for sure".

Ikuto decided to reassure the girl so she wouldn't worry as much. Hopefully this night would go smoothly. He hoped for two things to not happen tonight. One, that his mom would definitely not embarrass him. Two, that Utau would abandon her 'love' for him tonight. He did not want Amu to get mad at his sister so soon.

The couple finally arrived at Ikuto's home. He got out and opened the door for Amu like a gentleman.

The two headed for the door to his home. Awaiting the wonders of what would happen tonight.

He grabbed the house key from his pocket and unlocked the door. He and Amu stepped inside.

Ikuto grabbed Amu's hand and made his way towards the kitchen. There was Ikuto's mom right in front of the sink. She had the same long beautiful blonde hair as Utau. The beautiful woman turned around and a huge smile was on her face.

She ran over to Ikuto and hugged him tightly.

"Oh look at you! You have the cutest little girlfriend!" She turned to a wide eyed Amu, and hugged her as well.

"It's a pleasure to meet you finally. I'm Souko, but you can just call me Mom instead." Amu turned red instantly. Mom? She was far from being this woman's daughter in-law for a long time!

"Uh, of course, I'm Amu." Amu bowed to Souko. It was time for them to eat. Amu sat down at the dinner table and noticed four plates were prepared. Wait a second.. was Utau going to be here?

Running down the stairs like it was a marathon. Utau rushed into the kitchen.

"Ikuto! It's been so long!" the blonde smiled and hugged Ikuto's arm.

"It's only been 2 hours since we've seen each other." Ikuto replied calmly.

"Doesn't matter! Let's eat!" Souko interrupted the two siblings. She pushed Ikuto and made him sit next to Amu.

"So Amu dear, what interest do you have in my little angel?" Ikuto's mom looked at her son and laughed.

Amu couldn't help but laugh as well. Little angel? This was priceless.

"Oh wow I just don't know where to start, mom." Amu replied. This was just too good.

Ikuto kicked the rosette's foot under the table. Well, guess number one on his list of things he didn't want happening tonight came true.

"Oh Amu! I will treat you as if you were my own child. Us three girls can go shopping and go to the beach!" Souko said proudly.

"Shopping with her? As if!" Amu and Utau said in unison, pointing at each other.

"You two are getting along great already!" Souko smiled, "Oh Amu, do you want to see Ikuto's baby pictures?"

Baby pictures? This was going to be a fun night!

"Of course, mom!" Amu replied giddily. Ikuto looked at him mom and his girlfriend and sighed. Yup number one and number two on his list happened. How lovely.

Amu, Utau, and Souko were on the couch looking through photos while Ikuto picked up the dishes. Amu glanced at each picture. Ikuto was adorable as a baby!

They finished looking through pictures. Amu and Ikuto's mother got to know each a lot better also. It turned out his mom was really kind, and totally not what she imagined she would be.

The little get together was finally over and Ikuto was driving Amu back home.

"Ikuto, your mom is really sweet. Your really lucky to have her." Amu smiled.

"I know. One thing though. Why did you care so much to meet my family?" Ikuto asked curiously.

Amu glanced at her boyfriend and shook her head, "Why not? I am your girlfriend after all. It's what we do!"
