Mom? Dad?
"Ow! Remy, my leg!" Elizabeth squealed, as Remy bent her leg back.
Kitty laughed, as she stepped over the wrestling couple, as she made her way towards the kitchen. "Remember, cherie, no powers!" Remy laughed.
Elizabeth nodded, panting from the wrestling, "Okay, okay. I give up."
Remy eased up, letting go of her leg, and finally stepping off of her back. "Ow! Kitty! Help!" Elizabeth playfully pleaded, as she crawled towards the kitchen.
She stopped, as she heard Rogue and Logan stepping up the steps of the porch, heading towards the open front door. She then crawled towards the open doorway, and peeked out, "Hi Rogue! Hi Lo-AHH!" She was interrupted, as Remy grabbed onto her ankles, and pulled her inside.
Elizabeth swung onto her back, as she heard laughter from Rogue and Logan as they stepped into the house. Remy lied onto Elizabeth, and began wrestling with her again. Lance shook his head, laughing, as he closed the door after Rogue and Logan, "Hi guys, come on in." He smiled.
The couple stepped over Elizabeth and Remy, as they made their way into the kitchen, "Mmm, something smells good!" Rogue smiled.
"Hi guys!" Kitty smiled, "I've actually taken some cooking lessons, and this dinner should be my best!" She smiled.
Rogue looked into the oven, and smiled, as she saw the Hush Puppies cooking. "I love hush puppies!"
Lance handed Logan a beer, and the two joined Brian and John in the living room for a game of football on the television. Tabitha lit up a cigarette, and looked at Wanda, who flipped through a bridal magazine. "So? What's going on with the you and John situation, honey?" Tabitha asked the gothic mutant.
Wanda's eyes moved up to look at Tabitha, "Well, I don't know yet. I thought a lot about what mum said, and we've talked a little bit about it."
"So, have you told your parents yet, Lance?" Brian asked, as a commercial interrupted their football game.
Lance nodded, as he gulped down the beer in his mouth, "Yeah, but it's not like really care too much anyway."
The conversation was going to continue, but Lance stood to walk to the door as the doorbell rang. "I got it babe!" Lance called into the kitchen, as Kitty attempted to make her way to the door.
"Okay honey."
Lance opened the door, and his mouth dropped, "Mom? Dad?"
Two middle aged parents stood at the door smiling. Elizabeth, Remy, Tabitha, Wanda, and Rogue immediately peeked their heads out of the kitchen doorway to stare at the door at the announcement. John and Brian immediately did the same at the living room entry way. Kitty nearly dropped her wooden spoon in the pot on the stove. Logan shrugged, as he watched the television, drinking out of his beer, "Hey, game's back on!" He called out, attempting to lighten the mood.
Lance ignored the comment, "What are you doing here?" He asked, his voice filled with shock and annoyance.
"Well, honey, when we heard the news, we figured we had to come down and meet the girl that was going to be our future daughter in law!" His mother smiled.
Lance scratched his head with confusion, "But, I haven't even seen you guys in I don't know how long! Now, you want to all of the sudden pop up?" He asked.
"Hi! I'm Katherine! Call me Kitty!" Kitty smiled, as she held out her hand with a smile on her face, attempting to lighten the mood.
Lance's parents looked down at the petite mutant, and shook her hand. "Please, come in." Kitty smiled, backing against Lance, ushering his parents into the house.
The middle aged couple looked inside, at the guests that stared at them. They walked into the foyer, uncomfortably, as the stares were returned. "Kitty, wait." Lance whispered, as Kitty closed the door.
"Lance, pish posh, they're your parents. This is wonderful!" Kitty gushed, as she gave him a quick peck on the lips.
"Kitty, wait!" He whispered, as she rushed away from him, attempting to make the parents comfortable.
"So, how was your flight?" She asked.
"Good." Lance's mother then looked at Lance, "Well, honey? Aren't you going to introduce us?"
Lance glared at her, with shock, "Uh, yeah."
Elizabeth shook her head, sensing Lance was hiding something. "Uh, guys these are my parents, Adelle and Tim."
Everyone hesitantly raised their hands in greeting, attempting to wave. Adelle walked up to Tabitha and wrapped her arm around her with a smile, "Is this her?" She asked.
Tabitha's blue eyes widened with shock, "Lady are you crazy?" She snapped.
Lance quickly interrupted as he grabbed onto his mother's arm, "Uh, no mom. This is her." He ushered her to Kitty.
Kitty smiled, holding out her hand, "It's wonderful to finally meet you."
"He's hiding something," Elizabeth whispered into Rogue's ear.
Rogue glared up at her best friend, "What?"
Elizabeth shrugged. "Oh." Adelle hesitantly shook Kitty's hand. She attempted to keep her smile, "Well, you're a very pretty young lady.
Kitty then eagerly hugged her future parent in laws. She then ushered them into the kitchen, "Please, please, make yourselves at home!"
Lance sighed heavily, "Whatcha hidin', mon ami?" Remy asked, as the parents followed Kitty into the kitchen.
Lance glared up at him, and noticed everyone staring at him waiting for an answer, "The fact that Kitty's Jewish!"
"What's wrong with that?" Wanda snapped, with slight annoyance, remembering the common trait her and Kitty shared.
"Well, uhm, my parents are," Lance paused with thought, "How should I put this?" He then thought some more, "Sheltered?"
"In other words, jerk offs! We understand, Lance!" Tabitha grinned, as she took a swig of her beer.
"And you didn't tell them?" Elizabeth asked, raising an eyebrow.
Lance solemnly shook his head at the question, "Like they'd ever let me marry someone like that!"
"Oh oh." Logan sighed.
