A/N: I'M SORRY! I feel like I abandoned this fanfic. I've been super busy with work, school and just recently went on vacation so I haven't had much time to update this. I am hoping to update this more in the second half of the year! With that said, here's chapter 10!

Also to note, I've decided to use "Mom" and "Dad" in Mike's POV, and "Julia" and "Michael" in Tina's POV from this point on.

Chapter 10: Meeting Tina's Parents

Mike's POV:

I woke up to my phone ringing. I tried to turn it off, thinking it's my alarm but once I picked it up I realized it was Tina. I sat up and answered.

"Hello?" I answered sleepily.

"Hi babe! Did I wake you?" Tina asks.

"Hi! Yeah you did but it's okay, I like hearing your voice" I tell her as I blush.

I hear her giggle on the other line.

"Oh, sorry! I only called because my parents want to meet you today, is that okay?"

"Oh uh .. y-y-yeah that's fine! What time should I be there?" I ask her nervously.

"After lunch so 1pm sound good?"

I looked at the clock, I still had 2 hours to get ready and get some food in me.

"Yeah that's fine! I'll see you then babe"

"Okay! See you later! Love you!"

"Love you too!" I hung up.

I got up and did my regular morning stretches before hopping into the shower and getting ready for the day. Once I finished, I picked out my outfit: Blue dress up shirt with sleeves folded to my elbows, and beige pants paired with black shoes. After styling my hair, I grabbed my phone and wallet and went downstairs to grab some food.

"Oh Mike! I was just about to call you down for brunch" Mom said as she greets me.

"Well, perfect timing!" I smiled and sat down with her and dad.

"So, what are your plans today son?" Dad asked me.

"Well uh," I took a sip of my coffee before I continued talking. "Tina called and told me that her parents want to meet me today, so I'm going to head over to her house after this"

"Oh that's wonderful, Mike!" Mom said. I nodded nervously.

"I'm nervous. What did you guys think of Tina?" I asked my parents.

My parents looked at each other for a moment before speaking.

"We like her, Mike. We like her personality, and the fact that she shares the same common interests with you is nice to know. Do you guys plan on staying in the Glee club this year?" Mom asked.

I nodded as I swallowed my food. "Oh yeah, we love Glee club. Mr Schue makes it so easy for us, despite some of his song choices"

My parents smiled. "Well, as long as you guys have common interests in mind, we're fine with it. What time are you supposed to be at Tina's?"

I looked at my watch. It was already 12:30. "1pm so I should go now" I said as I got up, placed my dishes in the sink and headed to the door.

"Drive safe Mike!" Dad shouted.

"Always do!"

Tina's POV:

I waited anxiously by the door for Mike to pull up on my driveway. I was nervous, I don't know if my parents would like him, or if Mike would like them. As I was busy pacing, I almost didn't hear the doorbell. I jumped and headed straight to the door.

"I'll get it!" I shouted as I opened it.

Mike stood at my doorway with his hands in my pockets and with a nervous smile on his face. He was rocking back and forth on his feet.

"Hey you" I smiled. I tiptoed and gave him a quick peck before letting him in.

"Thanks for the invite"

"Thanks for coming, even though I practically forced you here" I said giggling.

"Yeah thanks for the wakeup call" Mike said sarcastically with a smile.

"Sorry for that. Now come, my parents are in the living room" I grabbed his hand and walked him into the living room.

"Mike, this is Mia and Paul. Mom, dad, this is Mike Chang" (A/N: I placed random names for Tina's parents as we never found out what they actually were in the show)

"Pleased to meet you Mike" Mr Cohen-Chang said as he shook Mike's hand.

"Pleased to meet you too Mr and Mrs Cohen-Chang" Mike said with a smile.

Mike and I sat down across from my parents as they started to throw him a bunch of questions.

"So, Mike, Tina tells us that you guys met in Glee club?" My dad asks.

"Yes sir, we did. She is one of the original members. I joined a month after."

"Were you the only person who joined after her?" My mom asked him.

"No actually, I joined with two of my good friends from the football team, Puck and Matt"

"I heard from Tina that she got slushied from the guys on the football team. Did you participate in that?" My dad asked him.

"No sir, I never really enjoyed the idea of slushing someone who didn't deserve it. I tried to fight about it against my team but they didn't agree with how I perceived it, so I never joined in that"

I saw my parents nodded in approval with what Mike had said about the slushies. I was glad he never joined in on that, because receiving it was never fun.

"Mike, you are going into junior year this year, correct?" My dad asked.

"Yes I am"

"Have you thought about colleges that you have to sign up for next year?"

"I have with my dad, but as of right now, I am trying to keep my options open"

"What are your choices and what are you looking to get into?" My mom asked him.

"I want to get into a dance school. My passion is dancing, which is actually how I got into the Glee club. The football team needed a new tactic for the championships, and my coach had asked Mr Schue to help us with some choreography. I had already developed a hobby for dancing, but after the championships, I realized what my passion is"

My parents once again nodded in approval.

"What about when you leave for college, how will you and Tina work things out? I'm assuming you'd be going out of state, considering that Lima doesn't give many options" My mom asked him.

"Well, I am hoping that when the time comes, Tina and I will be able to overcome anything in our relationship. If I end up going out of state, I'm hoping to go somewhere that is possibly a couple hours away so then it's easier to drive back and forth to see her and my parents as well"

I stared at him in awe. We never discussed college yet, seeing that we didn't even start school for another week, but hearing that made my heart swell with love.

My parents continued to question him until it was time to prep for dinner.

"Mike, will you be joining us for dinner?" My mom asked.

"I would love to"

"Great. It'll take a couple of hours but you and Tina can find something to do in the meantime." Her parents headed into the kitchen to start up dinner.

"Let's go to my room" I said to him. He nodded and we went upstairs to my room.

"Did you mean it?" I asked him once we got in the room.

"What?"

"That you would see me despite being out of state for college"

"Of course. I've liked you for so long, and now that I finally have you, I'm not letting you go"

I smiled. "I love you Mike Chang"

"And I love you, Tina Cohen-Chang"

I went on my tiptoes and crushed my lips with his. We broke away and decided to play games on the Wii against each other. We got so carried away that we almost didn't hear my mom knocking on my door.

"Kids, dinner is ready!" My mom said through the door.

"Okay mom, be right there!" I said while laughing.

After Mike and I laughed our way down to the dining room, we sat down in our respective chairs. My family and I started talking about the next week and our summer.

"Tina, did you guys have a good summer?" My mom asked me.

I nodded. "We did. We were actually camp partners for our group of kids so it was easier on me, since I was the newest counsellor"

"Oh? Mike, you've been a counsellor before?"

I nodded while swallowing my food. "I have. I was a camper before. They invited me back last year to become a counsellor. It was a good experience, and I shared my knowledge to Tina"

"Did you learn a lot of good things from Mike?" My dad asked me.

"Yes, I did! He was a good co-counsellor" I said as I smiled at Mike.

Dinner ended 15 minutes later. Mike offered to help my dad with the dishes. My dad said no, but Mike insisted to help. My mom pulled me to the living room while the guys were cleaning.

"Do you love him?" My mom asked me.

I nodded.

"Good, because we like him. He's a keeper"

"Really mom?"

She nodded. "I think he's a lot better than Artie. No offense to him"

I shrugged. "I didn't think Artie was that good of a boyfriend anyway. All he did was play games. Mike actually got me into dancing"

"Well, keep him. I can see that he's a good guy"

"Thanks mom" I hugged her as we heard Mike and my dad come into the living room.

"We hope you enjoyed dinner tonight, Mike" My dad said to him.

"Oh dinner was fantastic! Thank you so much, Mr and Mrs Cohen-Chang"

"It was our pleasure. Have a safe trip home" My parents migrated to their room for the night.

"Thank you for coming by, babe" Tina said to me.

"Your parents are so chill! I'll be happy to come back"

"Good, because they like you"

"Really?"

"Really."

"Well, little miss Tina, my parents actually like you too" I said happily.

I jumped into Mike's arms with glee. Mike spins me around before letting me down and giving me a kiss.

"I'll see you later?"

I nodded happily.

"Goodnight babe, I love you" Mike tells me.

"Goodnight, I love you too" I tell him.

He gives me a departing kiss and steps out of my house. I wave to him as he pulls out of my driveway and heads home.
