A/N: Ok, I'm not really a big fan of this chapter, but it's kind of a filler for the next few chapters. I hope you guys enjoy!
"Randy, are you sure this is a good idea? I would really like to spend Thanksgiving with your family...where I know I would be welcome," Savannah asked for what seemed like the hundreth time. Linda called a couple days before inviting the both of them to Thanksgiving dinner, and now Randy and Savannah were waiting in the airport, waiting on their flight.
"Babe, everything is going to be fine. Besides, my family isn't going to have Thanksgiving dinner because everyone is flying up within the next few days for the wedding."
"I'm just so sick of the drama. I don't want my dad or Shane to say anything horrible toward you."
"I'm sure it isn't going to be anything I haven't heard before. We are going to have dinner with your family, and have as good of a time as we can, and then in a few days, we are going to be married."
"Flight 331 to Grennwich now boarding," boomed over the sound system. Randy then grabbed Savannah's hand as they both stood up. "That is us," he said as they walked toward the ticket desk.
The 3 hour flight seemed to go by fast for Savannah. She had never been this anxious to go home. As Randy and Savannah walked into the airport in Greenwich, Savannah smiled when she saw Stephanie waiting for them.
"Randy! Savannah!" Stephanie called. "It's so good to see you guys!"
"I'm so glad to see you too," Savannah said as she gave her older sister a hug.
"Thanks for picking us up Stephanie," Randy said politely as the sisters broke their hug.
"Your most welcome. Mom is at home making dinner, so lets get going!"
About 40 minutes later, Stephanie pulled into the driveway. Savannah could see her nephews and nieces playing in the front yard with her brother-in-law Paul, Shane and Marissa.
"Hey guys, look who I found wandering around," Stephanie said sarcastically as Randy and Savannah got out of the car.
"Hey guys!" Paul said as he hugged Savannah and slapped Randy on the shoulder.
"Happy Thanksgiving!" Marissa exclaimed as she hugged both Randy and Savannah. As Marissa and Savannah broke the hug, she sighed as she watched Shane go back into the house.
"I was really hoping he was over this shit by now," Savannah said as Marissa turned around and saw her husband had indeed gone inside.
"Don't worry, I told him to be nice or I would beat him at home," Marissa said as Savannah smiled.
"Randy, do you want to go inside and say hi to my mom with me?" Savannah asked.
"Sure, go ahead."
After hugging the kids hello, Savannah and Randy walked inside the house. When they walked into the kitchen, they could see Linda making the salad, and Vince doing something by the stove. "Hey mom. Hey dad, we're home!" Savannah exclaimed.
Linda instantly looked up, and greeted both Savannah and Randy with a smile. "Hi guys. I'm so glad you could make it," she exclaimed as she hugged Savannah and Randy both. Linda heard her younger daughter sigh as they broke the hug.
"Mom, dad just walked out of the room. I was really hoping he would be over this shit by now."
"I know. I'm sorry sweethart. You just ignore your dad and brother, and just enjoy the day!"
Throughout the afternoon, Randy and Savannah tried their best to stay clear of Shane and Vince, although it was very hard to do so. When everyone sat down to the dining room table, Savannah felt bitter and sad both that Vince acknowledged everyone else, except for her and Randy. "The turkey looks really good daddy. Did you make it just like last year?"
"Yes," he replied, not making eye contact with his daughter. "I didn't change it for any reason."
As everyone sat down to dinner, no one really said anything. After dinner, Stephanie, Marissa and Savannah all helped Linda clean up the kitchen. As Savannah was drying one of the last dishes, she jumped a little as she felt Randy wrap his arms around her for a hug.
"Hey baby," he whispered.
"Hey," she said as she turned around. "How about when I get done, we go back to the hotel and relax."
Before Randy could respond, Linda glanced at both of them. "You aren't staying in a hotel, are you? You guys are more than welcome to stay here with us."
Savannah shook her head. "Mom, I don't think that is such a good idea, and I'm sure dad won't like the idea. Randy and I have already reserved the honeymoon suite, so we are just going to stay there."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, we are sure, but thank you for the offer," Randy said.
Later on that night, long after everyone had left for the evening, Linda was reading a book as she watched Vince climb into bed. "Vince, I don't know what you have against Randy and why you are acting like this, but I really wish you would stop."
"Linda...Randy is a jerk, and a horrible person. Look what he did to our daughter. Savannah can do so much better!"
"First of all, the motorcycle accident was not Randy's fault, and I really wish you would stop blaming him for it. Savannah's legs are getting stronger by the day, and I am sure one of these days she will not even have to walk with the walker anymore. Finally, if Randy makes Savannah happy, then you should be happy for her. Swallow your pride!"
Linda then heard Vince grumble to himself, and not saying anything more, he rolled over and eventually fell asleep. Little did they know, Shane and Marissa were having a similar conversation across town.
"Shane, I really wish you would re-consider going to the wedding," Marissa calmly said as she also climbed into bed, and cuddled close to Shane.
"I'm sorry, sweethart, but I can't. I can't even believe that you agreed that you and the boys would be in the wedding. I bet it doesn't even take place!"
"Shane, that is a horrible thing to say!" Marissa exclaimed. "Don't you want to see your sister happy?"
"Of course I do," he replied.
"Well, then you are obviously not seeing how happy Randy makes Savannah. I can see it in their eyes when they look at each other how much they love each other, and can plain see it when they are together period. Can I ask a serious question?"
"What is it?" Shane asked.
"Are you not happy for Savannah just because your dad isn't happy for her?" Marissa asked, looking up at Shane.
"Of course not. I do have a mind of my own."
"Yes I know you do, and I will be the last person to tell you what to do and how to think. Just think of this though: think of how your sister is feeling at this very moment. How would you feel if your sister and mom were the only ones who supported you and would be the only ones at your wedding? I don't know about you, but I would feel very sad and hurt. Just think about that," Marissa said as she leaned up and kissed Shane softly on the cheek.
"Good night."
