Author Notes: This will be my last Jori Parenthood idea... Of the year... Sad I know.

Nonetheless enjoy reading it as I enjoyed writing this, it's one of my favorite Jori motherhood moments and you guys will likely love it too, if not then guess I better try harder next time, huh?

"Anthony, what are you doing?" Tori asked her son as she entered the kitchen, amazed by the amount of food that is on the kitchen table, going from turkey to several different types of pizza, mash potatoes, etc.

"Making the greatest New Year's dinner of all time Mama!"

"Erm, I can see that son." She said "But don't you think you're being a bit... Extreme?"

"Not really, no." He shot back "This dinner has to be perfect!"

"But we're not feeding an army platoon! Only six people!"

"Don't waste your breath Tori," Jade muttered, not looking up from the book she's reading "Emily's coming tonight remember?"

"Oh... Right." Tori frowned, "Your girlfriend is spending New Years with us."

Her spouse rolled her eyes, recognizing that tone all too well.

"Vega eventually has to accept the fact that our son is growing up." Jade thought "And that he can't remain her little boy forever."

"Not only her mama." Anthony pointed out "Her parents are coming too!"

"Oh that's right." The former Goth said with a smirk "We finally get to meet our future daughter in law's parents."

"MOM!" He bellowed out, his cheeks turning red "For the last time! I'm not marrying Emily! I'm sixteen!"

"Give it time son. Give it time." Jade teased "You two are like your mama and I were at that age."

"That doesn't mean anything!" Tori hissed "Don't encourage him getting into third base faster Jade!"

"Mama?" The teenager asked with a raised eyebrow "Are you ok?"

"I'm fine!"

"Are you?"

"Yes I am!"

"Don't mind her Tony." Jade said teasingly "She just goes crazy every time she's reminded of the fact that you're becoming a man."

"I never gave him permission to go from a boy to a man!"

"See what I mean?"

"Hey! Need I remind you of the many, many heart attacks you claim to have had over the years at the mere mention of our daughters blossoming into beautiful young women?!"

"That's different!"

"Oh yeah? How?!"

"I don't have to worry about Anthony becoming pregnant now do I?!" Jade snapped.

"He can still get someone pregnant you know."

"Don't you worry Mama." Tony says, shuddering in disgust "After the talk with the birds and the bees, sex is off the table for me."

"Just don't forget to wear a condom when you do get the urge."

"MAMA!"

"Getting back to our daughters." Jade said (much to her son's relief.) "Dani and Tawny did so much damage to my health watching them grow up... Ugh... I still remember the day they bough bikinis, showing so much skin... Where several wandering eyes of boys looked at them like pieces of meat on a hot summer day!"

"Ewww mom! Those are my sisters you're talking about!"

"Just... Keep cooking son." Tori said gently "She's just being dramatic."

"I am not! And let's not forget the time with the mistletoes!" Jade groaned "Every year I had to take those stupid things down!"

"Yeah, after I put them up for us!" The tanned woman complained "All these years you been way too paranoid over our little girls dating, you think you would have chilled by now that they're married and staring their own families."

"That doesn't change the fact that I didn't want to see my daughters kissing some hooligans when they were growing up!"

"No... I guess not."

"And don't think I didn't notice you doing the same with the damn decorations!"

"Now you're just seeing things."

"Oh that's rich Tor!" Jade laughed sarcastically "I saw you taking down those damn mistletoe's so that Emily didn't get any excuse to kiss our son!"

Anthony looked up from the dish he was making "She did what?! MAMA!"

"Erm... I did that because it's no longer Christmas?"

"Are you asking up or telling us, Vega?"

"It's West!"

Jade and Tori glared at each other after that, it was crystal clear that they had different a different opinion of how to handle their children becoming adults.

"Erm... So it's a shame that Tawny and Dani couldn't spend tonight with us." Anthony said uneasily.

"Yeah... It sucks." Jade agreed "But seeing as we had them for Christmas then it's only fair that Tawny, Lukas and Matt spend New Year with Cat and Robbie..."

"Not to mention that Rachel wanted to see her mom, she still hasn't told her that she's pregnant and that Dani and her are having a little girl." The Half-Latina finished. "Why do kids have to grow up so fast?"

"Hey look at the bright side..." The teenager said optimistically "At least you guys still have me for a little while longer."

That was enough to make his Mama cry "MY BABY BOY!"

Much to Tony's chagrin, Tori ran towards him with the speed of a cheetah and the hug of a grizzly bear.

"Mama... I can't breath! Mama!"

Jade shakes her head "Oh who am I kidding, the only way Tori will come to terms with Anthony growing up would be with a very powerful medication!"

Ding dong.

"That must be Emily with her folks." The former Goth said as she got up from her chair "Don't worry I'll get it."

"What?! Mom! You can't leave me here like this!"

Either Jade didn't hear him or more than likely was amused by the sight of her wife hysterically hugging their youngest child.

"... You're going to be far away from me and then you'll forget about your mama!" Tori cried out "You're going to leave me just to be successful!"

Anthony could only sigh in defeat, trapped in his mother's trembling arms.

"Third time this week she breaks down... I really should've learn by now NOT to bring out the fact I'm almost out of the house."

Meanwhile on the West's Front porch Emily was cleaning any imaginary lint out of her dress.

"I have to make a good impression on Anthony's parents" She thought to herself "The last thing I want is for Jade West to hate me more because of old pranks or Tori West to dislike me more for taking her son away from her."

The teenager then turned to meet her own parents eyes.

"Promise me you both will be at your best behaviour tonight!"

"Of course sweetheart!"

"We'll be the proudest dads ever!"

"That's what I'm afraid of.."

"What?"

"Nothing... Nothing!" Emily said "But please don't embarrass me tonight!"

"How could we embarrass you?"

Before the blonde could say anything else the front door opened.

Jade came out of the house, looking down at the teenage girl like a shark about to devour its prey.

"Well... Look what the cat dragged in."

Emily gave the director a meekly "Hello Ms West... Nice to see you."

The former Goth grunted "Well... I suppose it's rude of me to leave you and your..."

She stopped talking once she saw who exactly were the parents of her son's girlfriend.

"Oh you have got to be kidding me!"

The surprise was shared by the two men who stared back at the Thespian.

"Jade?"

"Wow... This is a small world!"

Emily looked at her parents then at the mother of her boyfriend "Uh... You guys know each other?"

"Baby... Who's at the door?" Tori asked "If it's Emily and her parents, don't be rude Jade and let... Them... In?"

The Half-Latina was stunned "Oh come on!"

"Oh hey Emily!" Tony said cheerfully "You made it!"

His enthusiasm was short lived when he noticed the atmosphere became quite tense.

"Chad?... Alan?"

"Tori?"... Jade?"

Both teenagers shared a worried glance.

"our baby girl is dating your son?!"

"Our son is dating your troublemaking daughter?!"

"This is going to be a long and awkward night."

As the two families uneasily ate dinner Alan and Chad looked at everywhere except at the two women in front of them.

... Who so happened to give them the evil eye.

"So uh... Nice house" Alan said awkwardly.

"I suppose it is." Jade shot back "I didn't expect to see you two ever again."

"Ditto on that." Chad muttered "Guess we have our kids to thank for that."

Tony and Emily sat in opposite side of the table (much to their dismay) but they could still hold hands which was unnoticed by their parents.

"... You never told us Emily had two dads, Mijo."

"...Or that Anthony had two moms, sweetheart."

"Well... You guys never told us you knew each other." Tony and Emily said at the same time.

"Touché."

"I didn't see this coming." Tori said with an awkward laugh "I mean we didn't expect you guys to be gay considering how you hit on us back in high school."

"Hit on us and failed I might add!"

"JADE!"

Chad held his husband's hand "Well, the same could be said for you two, we didn't think you were gay either."

"We were in the middle of a date you moron!" Jade hissed "Of course we were lesbians!"

Having heard enough, both teenagers discreetly walked away while their parents continued their very awkward conversation.

Tony led Emily to the backyard, sliding the door so they could take a seat on the very cushy patio swing.

"This night isn't turning out like we planned huh?" He asked his girlfriend.

"Nope." She agreed "Like I need another reasons for your parents to hate me."

He raised an eyebrow, looking down at the blonde whose head rested on his shoulder "What are you talking about? My parents don't hate you."

"Are you stupid?" Emily shot back "Didn't you notice the evil eye they were sending my way!"

"I didn't say they didn't dislike you Em."

"Oh yeah, that makes me feel soooo much better."

"Look.." He sighs "The thing is... Both my rents have a reason to dislike you, my mom doesn't take kindly to people who use me repeatedly as a punching bag for kicks and giggles and my mama breaks down at the thought of any girl taking me away from her, but you know what? That doesn't matter, they'll eventually come around..."

"And if they don't?"

"They will" He reassured her "And do you know why?"

"Pray tell."

"Because despite all you done to drive me bonkers ever since the day I met you... I can't imagine my life any other way, without you... Things would be quite repetitive and dull, you made every day an adventure for me and I guess what I'm trying to say here is... I love you for that."

That caught Emily by surprise "You... You do?"

Anthony held her closer, affectionately rubbing her back "Quite."

"Well erm... I guess your um... Pretty ok yourself West." She said nervously "You mushy dork."

The boy smirked, he knew it was the closest to an "I Love You" he was going to get from his girlfriend "But that's ok... I can wait till she's able to say it out loud."

"Guess I'm going to have to try harder to gain your parents approval huh?" Emily asked "God, that's going to be a monumental task!"

"If it makes you feel any better, after tonight I don't think your dads are going to be too excited about me being around you."

"Yeah right." She snorted "Unlike my situation with your parents, My folks actually like you, so don't worry; at most? I bet they'll probably just make sure you don't have any weapons in your person when you come over now that they know your Jade West's son, they hear some scary ass stories involving her after all."

Anthony chuckled "My mom may seem twisted but she's actually a kitten once you get to know her."

"Could've fooled me."

"Hey... What time is it?"

"Huh?" She looked down at her phone "Oh it's... 11: 59."

They looked at each other, both sharing a smile.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" He asked.

"Kiss at midnight?"

"Kiss at midnight."

So the young couple stared at the phone waiting to start the New Year with a kissable bang.

"This is the longest minute in the history of the Earth!" They exasperatedly though at the same time.

By the time the clock struck midnight, Emily and Anthony began to make out, the moon serving as their only source of light.

"Best... Kiss... Ever!"

"About damn time!"

The teenagers kiss was cut short and they turned around to see their parents looking at them.

Chad looked like he was about to cry, Alan had a hand over his chest, Tori had both hands over her mouth and if one could listen you would have sworn she said "So cute."

Jade on her part had a small proud smile.

"My god! You two took forever!" The former Goth bellowed "I mean come on! I kissed your mama on our first date!"

"To be fair Jade, he followed in my footsteps." Tori said proudly "I did kiss you at midnight when we were their age after all."

"How was the kiss?" Alan asked his daughter "There's no shaming in admitting it wasn't good on the first try."

Both teenagers turned three different shades of red in embarrassment at the antics of their parents.

"Oh my God Dad!" Emily screeched "Swallow me Earth!"

"MOM! I'll kiss my girlfriend at my own pace thank you very much!"

"But there is room for improvement!"

"I beg you, please stop talking!"

Yup, the new year had come and it was going to be more embarrassing than ever.

After all, it was all in the job of a parent.

Jade and Tori or Alan and Chad weren't the exception to the rule.

Much to their kids chagrin.

LOL, Like I said, this one was one of my favorite ideas, after all Jade and Tori having issues with their children growing up is a lot of fun to explore, not to mention having them act like any other parent that embarrassed their son was a plus.

I also bet that none of you ever saw coming the possibility of Chad and Alan were Emily's parents, if you don't remember those two, they were the two guys that kept hitting on Jade and Tori during the play date episode.

Ever since I came up with Emily I been contemplating long and hard on who her parents should be and since I didn't want to create any more OC's, I decided instead to come up with a parallel to Anthony being raised by two women by having Emily being raised by two guys and who better than Chad and Alan who were by far the most annoying people Jade and Tori ever had the misfortune of meeting.

It will certainly give Jade many nightmares in the coming weeks to think these two idiots might become family someday, LOL, I know it just seems like too good a twist to not use, am I right?

I'm aware that Tori one moment is ok with Anthony growing up the next she's freaking hysterical, the reason for this is quite simple... She doesn't know how to handle the situation, she does want to accept that Tony is growing up but when she sees him, she sometimes still views him as her "precious little boy."

Also as a side note, the kiss at midnight Tori was referring to happened during my 2015 New Year's Jori fic "Out With The Old, In With The New."

Finally, I want to say that I will eventually reveal who Rachel's mom is, because it's something that I been planning for quite a while now and I do want it to be "shocking."

So like I said at the top of the chapter, this will be my last Jori Parenthood story of 2016, so to all my fellow readers and writers I want to wish you A...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Or as we say in Mexico... Feliz Año Nuevo!

Hope to see you all in 2017!
