Such Is Life
Part 33
So there we were on a plane to meet his parents! I was nervous as hell it wasn't what I expected at all! He held me all the way there, we didn't speak much but my mind was going crazy! I was so worried they were going to hate the person that married their son without them even knowing about it! I didn't have that problem, I mean sure I had a father somewhere but he so obviously didn't give a crap about me and therefore why should I be telling him anything?
We landed in Canada and got our bags. He could see how nervous I was without even asking and smiled as he put his arm around me and led me into the arrivals lounge.
"It will be sweet will you not panick?"
"I can't help it!"
"Oh there's my dad!"
My stomach flipped as he pointed out a guy over the other side of the lounge. He looked a lot like Chris, older, darker hair but everything else was an amazing resemblance!
"Oh boy!" I whispered and puffed out my cheeks as I smoothed my hair. Chris smiled and kissed the top of my head as he led me over. He hugged his Dad then stapped back, "And this is your daughter-in-law!"
I took a deep breath and forced a smile as Chris' dad looked me over for what seemed like a lifetime!
"He always did have good taste in women!" he smiled. "Ted!" he held out his hand and I took it.
"Chris...Christina!"
"Very nice to finally meet you at last!"
"You aswell." I looked at my feet.
"Right come on then let's get your two home, I'm sure there will be something good cooking when we get back!" He picked up one of the bags and Chris got the other one, put his arm around my shoulders and we walked out into the sunshine.
"Told ya it'd be sweet!" Chris whispered into my ear as his dad put the bags into the trunk of his car. He looked around making sure he wasn't watching and kissed me passionately. I pulled back embarassed.
"Chris!" I glared at him and he smiled.
"Hey your my wife! I'm sure he won't mind!" he kissed me again and his dad coughed loudly.
"Ready?" He had a sly smile on his face, just like Chris, it was uncanny and it made me smile through my embarassment.
When we arrived at the house my nerves started to build again. Chris and his dad had talked non stop all the way there and I just sat in silence, totally dreading getting there and meeting his mother then the thought occoured to me that he'd met mine, how could she be any worse than that!? Still I felt like I wanted to run as fast as I could away from there as we got out of the car, no the wonder he hadn't told me where we were going! I probably would have gotten out of it somehow, but if this made him happy then I had to go through with it! I was willing to try anything to get this relationship back on track and I supposed if we had done things like any other normal couple I'd have been through the 'meet the folks' scenario a long time before then!
