Umm... I'd like to thank my cat, Marvin, because he is cute. Yeah, I'm going to shut up now and get on with the story. : )
Come What May
Chapter Three
My jaw dropped. Tell her parents? Uh oh. That is something I hadn't really thought of beforehand. Just thinking about it made me sweat. Not that I have anything against Usagi's parents. Her mother, Ikuko, had always accepted me. She knew that Usagi and I loved each other very much. In fact, she had been one of the major trump cards in out relationship.
Her father, Kenji, however, was another story. I don't know what I had done to upset him. Maybe it was the fact that I was quite a bit older then Usako. Anyways, I had tried everything I could think of to make him believe that I wasn't some monster, and that I would never harm Usagi. So far, nothing has worked. So you can see why I was more then a little anxious and aprehensive about breaking the news to her parents.
I looked at Usagi, and I knew that she could tell what I was thinking.
"Mamo-chan, you know that he have to tell them eventually. What do you think my dad would do if we just ran away and got married?"
* * * * * * * * * * * *
I could see why Mamo-chan was nervous. I was too. My dad had a reputation of being...well, overprotective. Once, when he had caought Mamo-chan and I kissing in the backyard, I swear, if it weren't for Mom holing him back, he would have gone after my boyfriend with a shotgun. But I knew that I was right too. We had to tell them sooner or later.....
By the time we had gotten to his apartment, I had convinced Mamo-chan to come home with me tomorrow and we would tell them together. I knew that it would be hard for him, and that he was really nervous about it. So I called home and told mom that I was staying at Rei's for the night. To take Mamo-chan's mind off what we would have to do tomorrow, I offered him...other distractions.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
We had just pulled up in front of Usagi's house, and believe me,I was seriously thinking of turning the car around so I could go find a place to curl up in a ball and die. It was weird - I almost felt like I was proposing to Usako's parents! I was dreading tellign her father. I told Usado this as we walked up the front steps, but she ignored me and pushed me in the front door, cutting off my last chance of escape. Ikuko had seen us pull up and was there to welcome us, giving me a warm hug, and then greeting Usagi. I was so glad that it was her we saw first and not her husband. "Mom," Usagi said as we walked into the kitchen, "Mamo-chan and I have something to tell you."
* * * * * * * * * * * *
He looked over at me when I said that, a slightly horrified look on his face. I just smiled back at him. What was the point of prolonging the agony, I thought. Mom smiled, "All right dear, just let me get your father."
Dad came in, looking tired and rather cranky. I think I heard a little whimper from Mamoru. He was holding on to my hand for dear life. I waited until Dad had sat down, and decided to tell them, since Mamo-chan seemed unable to do anything except stare ahead, wide -eyed.
I took a deep breath and got it over with. "Mamo-chan proposed last night, and I said yes. We're engaged!"
Mom jumped up and gave us both a huge hug. "Oh, I'm so happy! Congratulations!"
My father, on the other hand, was a slightly different story.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
I was glad to see that Ikuko was really happy for us. But my excitement dide as I looked over at Kenji. If looks could kill, I would have dropped dead on the spot. "You WHAT?!? You proposed to my little girl? If you think that you are going to take her away from me you've got another thing coming you ignorant -"
"KENJI!!" Usagi and I both looked over at her mother, suprised that she had spoken up like that, being a normally soft spoken person. "How DARE you say that to Mamour-san! He has been nothing but kind and considerate to our family, and Usagi loves him dearly, as he loves her. Apologize right now."
Somewhat frightened by his wife, Kenji came over to me. "She is right, Mamoru-san. I am sorry for my behavior. Welcome to the family." With that, he shook my hand.
Well, he wasn't filled with enthusiasm. but it was better then nothing.
After we had left, Usagi turned to me, beaming. I would face a hundred Kenji's for that smile.
**NEXT~Usagi tells her friends the big news, and plans for the wedding begins! WHOO HOO!
