A few days later Melanie headed over to Matt and Allie's. She wanted to apologize to both about everything. She wanted to put things behind them and start anew. She arrived at the house and knocked on the door.
"Mom what are you doing here?" Allie asked her when she opened the door.
"I wanted to talk to you and Matt." Melanie said walking in. "I want to apologize to you both for everything. For paying Cody to try to break you up to saying Matt wasn't good enough for our family. I apologize for it all."
"Wow, mom that's a lot of things to apologize for." Allie said sitting down on the sofa. Matt sat beside her while Melanie said in the chair.
"I know that. I made tons of mistakes. I realize now that you are an adult and you control your life I don't. I'm sorry for trying too. Allie, I love you and I only wanted to protect you. But I realize that I can't protect you forever. You are your own person and you have your own life. I'm sorry for everything and I want to be a part of your life."
"Are you willing to accept Matt as my husband?"
"Yes. I was wrong. Matt obviously loves you and I know you love him. I'm sorry to both of you."
"Mom, I love you and I want to believe that you mean this."
"I do. Allie, I love you. You are my daughter and I don't want to miss out on your life. Can we start over with everything?"
"I can if Matt can." Allie replied looking at her husband.
"I can." He replied.
"Great." Melanie smiled. "I'm going to go now that we have that settled. Your father and I would like for you both to come to dinner tomorrow. Everyone is coming. I want our family united."
"We will be there Melanie." Matt said to her.
"Good. I look forward to it." Melanie hugged them both and left. She was relieved that it went so well. She was worried that Allie wouldn't forgive her but she was so glad that she did.
Allie closed the door after her mom and headed back into the living room where Matt was.
"Who was that woman and what did she do with my mom?" She laughed sitting down.
"I don't know." Matt laughed. "I'm glad she came though. Your parents are important and they love you."
"I know. I'm glad she came too. I want to put all of this behind me and start anew like she wants."
"Good." He smiled. "So, do you want to watch a movie?"
"Yes, but it better be something fun." She laughed.
"Like what?"
"Baby Mama."
"You want to watch Baby Mama?"
"Yes." She smiled.
"Why?"
"Because I like it and it's funny. So put in Baby Mama."
"Alright." He walked over to the entertainment center and put the DVD in. "I really hope no one knows I'm watching this."
"How can you not like Baby Mama?" She said sitting down by him with some snowcaps.
"I never said I didn't like it. I said I hope no one knows I'm watching it."
"I promise not to tell anyone." She said before kissing him.
They spend the rest of the night watching movies and just being together. Tomorrow they were heading to her family's for the first dinner since her mom's change of heart.
The next day they headed to her parents for dinner. When they got there, everyone was there.
"We are glad that everyone could come and join us." Ted Sr. said as they all were sited around the dining table.
"We have had a lot happen this year. We have two grandchildren on the way and we have welcome Matt into our family." Melanie said to them. "It's been a great year and we hope to have many more to come. We love each one of you."
"To family." Ted Sr. said raising his glass.
"To family." Everyone said together.
"I would like to say something else." Melanie said standing up. "I've made a lot of mistake this year and I wanted to apologize to everyone. To my children, I'm sorry that I put you in a weird situation with everything. To Allie and Matt, I'm so sorry for everything. I realize now how horrible I was. But I want to start anew with everyone."
"Mom, we forgive you." Brett said before the others could. They all agreed with Brett.
They had nice dinner with everyone and spent the time together. Ted Sr. was glad that everything had worked out. His family was happy and they were all together.
