Hi hi :) thank you so much for the favorite and reviews 3

"HELLO!" Naveen yelled as he walked into his home folding his sun glasses. Tiana came in next thanking the person who opened the door for them and Charlotte followed after her.

"This is beautiful dear." Charlotte passed Tiana and stood next to Naveen grabbing his hand.

"Thank you." Naveen nodded to her. "Mom! Dad!" he yelled pulling Charlotte with him to a sitting room to their right. Tiana went to follow but stopped when an older couple came down the steps.

"Salut!" the woman greeted letting go of who, Tiana assumed, was her husband and she practically skipped down the rest of the steps. She wore a gray turtleneck with a gray cardigan over top jeans and boots and silver white hair. "Vous devez Tiana, bienvenue!" she took her hand and shook it. "Je suis mère de Naveen et il s'agit de père et sa grand mère est ici quelque part avec son petit frère," she gestured to the house with a wave of her hand and smiled as her husband came next to her taking her hand. Her husband wore a blue sweater with a black shirt under it, he also had dark wash jeans and leather loafers he too had silver white hair.

"Ummm," Tiana tried to remember the french she learned in college, as this woman kept a giddy smile on her face waiting for a response. "Je suis désolé, je ne sais pas le pain des Français?" she ended it as a question, confused by her own sentence.

"So sorry, mon amour." Naveen's mother apologized hastily her accent light in her english. "The way Naveen spoke, we thought you knew french."

"Oh no, I just know the cuisine." Tiana explained.

"Even better! We are just getting breakfast ready," she took her hand and lead her away. She looked back to the father who just shrugged with silent amusement.

"MOM! DA-hey!" Naveen quickly let go of Charlottes hand and smoothed his hair back on the side. "Hey dad!" he patted his father on the back and put his arm around him.

"Hello son," his father nodded. "who is this?" he gestured to Charlotte who was standing in front of them her hands folded in front of her. But he wasn't dumb, he saw them come in holding hands.

"This is Charlotte. Tianas best friend," he pulled her forward so that they could shake hands. "Speaking of which, where is Tiana?" Naveen looked around the foyer.

"Your mom," he said simply and Naveen nodded in understanding.

"Well I'm sure she is just lovely," Charlotte interjected with a smile.

"Oh yeah she's lovely," Naveen nodded adjusting his jacket. "but she can talk." he placed his glasses in the front pocket.

"So this is your fiancee?" His father gestured to Charlotte who blushed and looked down at her shoes.

"Oh no no," Naveen created space between him and Charlotte. "My fiancee is Tiana who is with mom in the…?" he trailed off going in the opposite direction that Tiana and his mother went.

His father studied him then Charlotte before telling him where his mother and Tiana were.

The two watched as Naveen walked away to the kitchen.

"Sooo," Charlotte clapped her hands in front of her. "how do you, where do-"

"Want to follow them?" he suggested.

"Sure, lead the way."

"Oh my, this is beautiful." Tiana gasped as she came into an expansive kitchen that had a double stove, a wall refigerator, oak cabinets and a marble countertops. There was also a island sink in the middle with enough space for it to be a counter. There was a cook who stopped spared them a glance then kept going.

"Merci," her mother pulled her to the island counter pulling a chair out for her then she sat next to her. "So," she placed her hands on the counter. "you and my son, I want to know everything,"

"Oh um everything?" she looked to the counter licking her lips trying to remember what Naveen had told her.

"Yes, everything." she assured as she tapped her hands. The cook put two glasses on water next to them.

"Okay, well Naveen and I met two years ago in a Jazz club-"

"What jazz club?"

"The uh Jazz Cafe." she replied taking the glass and drinking some water from it.

"That sounds nice, okay continue." she adjusted in her seat crossing her leg over the other.

"Okay. Well he asked me to marry him in my restaurant after he bought it for me-"

"Wait a minute wait a minute, he bought you a restaurant?"

"Yes he did,"

"Wow, he must love you. Then again he bought a boat for one of his girlfriends as a breakup present. As he claims it was her fault not his and he didn't want her to hate him. So." she shrugged at this. "Boat,"

"You think he is going to break up with me?" she leaned forward.

"Hm?" she looked away from the window. "Oh no dear definitely not." she waved her in a dismissive action.

"Oh," Tiana leaned back scratching her neck nervously. Feeling a chain Tiana took both her hands and lifted the chain all the way until a ring popped out from under her shirt.

'Oh yeah.' she thought as she looked at the ring.

"Is that the ring?" she asked excitedly.

"Yes it is." Tiana unclasped the chain in the back and handed it to her. She took it and inspected it with scrutinizing eyes.

"Well this is beautiful, but why is it on a chain?" she passed it back to her.

"Im just afraid Ill lose it. So ill keep it where I know it will not be lost," Tiana went to clasp the necklace back on.

"And where I will be close to her heart," Naveen interrupted wrapping his arm behind his mom and planting a kiss on her cheek.

"My baby!" His mother hopped down from her seat as he came around and she wrapped her arms around his neck planting a kiss on his cheek.

"Hey mom," he rasped as he felt his breath leave him as his mother squeezed him tightly. When they broke apart Naveen stood next to Tiana.

"Where were you?" Tiana mouthed as he stood next to her.

"Where were you?" he countered.

"Aw look at you two. Mouthing things to each other. So cute." his mother clapped her hands delightfully in front of her face.

"Thank you Mrs. Durand." Tiana smiled as Naveen took over clasping the necklace for her.

"Oh please dear, call me mom." she chuckled patted her hand.

"Lets not go that ow,"

Naveen pinched her shoulder then placed his hands on her arms. Tiana looked at him confused but he gave her a warning look. Shaking her head she turned back to Naveens mom and patted her hand.

"Okay,"

Naveen smiled taking Tianas glass and drinking the water in it. He put it back near Tiana's hands then put his hands on her shoulders. At this Tiana tensed but after awhile relaxed.

"Great!" his mother smiled. "There you are dear,"

Her husband came in with Charlotte following behind him exasperated.

"Hi dear," he walked up to her pecked her cheek.

"What happened to you?"

"I got lost," he confessed wrapping his arms around her shoulders.

"But you live here," she giggled looking up at him.

"Yeah I still get lost,"

"We should probably get you a map, especially with your old age," she jabbed him in arm jokingly. He smiled at her joke and kissed her head.

"That is so cute." Charlotte's commented as she leaned her cheek on Naveens shoulder.

"Here comes the little airplane," a voice faraway echoed.

"I think that is your grandmother and brother," his mother looked away from the Naveen and Charlotte with a skeptical look. "we should go meet them in the dining room," she hopped down from the chair with help from her husband.

Tiana went to follow them but Naveen held her back and put her arm in his.

"Right," she said under her breath. Charlotte went before them and the two followed after.
