Thanksgiving was in two days. Neither was telling the other but they were both very nervous about it. Mandy was on her lunch break talking to Jennifer.

Are you excited about Thanksgiving? Jennifer signed.

Yes and no. Mandy signed. It's either going to go great, or it's going to be a complete disaster.

Why do you think it'll be a disaster?

I'm hoping they'll see Randy for the wonderful man he is. I'm worried they'll criticize him or ridicule him.

Why?

As I've told you his signing isn't the greatest. He tries as hard as he can. I don't care if it takes him twenty years to get good at it but they might not be so patient.

I'm sure everything will be fine.

I'm glad one of us has faith.

Have you told him you don't want kids of your own?

Not yet.

Well you should, soon.

Well we haven't even slept together yet.

Have you come close?

Yeah. The last time we saw each other. We were both ready, then he got a call from his boss, so we didn't get to.

That sucks.

Yeah. I know the first time we do, it'll be great.

Later that night Randy was in catering practicing sign language on his phone. He messed up again.

"Fuck!" He said frustrated with himself. "God damn it!"

"Problems?" John asked coming up to him.

"I'm gonna look like a fucking idiot in front of Mandy's parents." "I suck at signing." "No matter how hard I try I suck."

"Well you're new to it."

"Yeah but they're not." "They hate the fact that Mandy is with a hearing man." "I won't be making it any easier."

"I think you're putting to much pressure on yourself.

On Thanksgiving Day Mandy and Randy had just walked through the door of her parents house. Janey and Frank went over to them.

Hi. Janey signed.

Hi mom. Mandy signed slower then usual so Randy could understand. Mom, dad, this is Randy.

It's nice to meet you Randy. Janey signed.

It's nice to meet you to. Randy signed.

Hello Randy. Frank signed.

Hello sir. Randy signed.

They were sitting down eating. Randy had just shown a picture of Alanna to Janey and Frank.

She's adorable. Janey signed.

Thank you. Randy signed.

What is it you do for a living again? Frank signed, so fast that Randy didn't understand the question. Mandy could tell and signed it back for him slower.

Randy meant to sign. I'm a professional wrestler. It came out.

I'm a professional weasel.

Janey was trying to hold in laughter but not doing a very good job. Frank immediately looked at Mandy.

See this is why this won't work out. Frank signed to Mandy. You know it takes years for a non-signing person to fully pick up the language.

He's trying his best. Mandy signed.

Randy is nice but come on Mandy, even deep down you know this won't work out. Janey signed.

They were all signing to fast for Randy to fully understand but was clear to him that he wasn't wanted. He tapped Mandy on the shoulder.

I'm gonna go wait in the car. He signed.

He grabbed his coat and left.

Mandy looked at her parents furious.

I can't believe you two! She signed angrily. You embarrassed and humiliated him!

We don't think Randy is a bad person. Frank signed. Like your mom said, it won't work out and even you know that.

No I don't know that. If you don't want to accept him fine. I love him. You won't have to worry about seeing us around here anymore.

She grabbed her coat and left.

Mandy and Randy went back to her house. They sat on the couch. She hugged him.

"I'm so sorry." Mandy said. "If you want to break up I completely understand."

"What?" He said surprised. "Mandy, no." I love you. He signed.

She smiled. I love you too.

They kissed. After a few minutes she took has hand and they went upstairs. He took a condom out of his pocket. They took off each other's shirts. She started kissing his chest. "Oh Mandy." He groaned. Even though she couldn't him she could feel the vibrations in his body. After a few minutes they kissed again, slowly undoing each other's jeans pulling them down. She slowly pulled down his boxers. She lightly squeezed his erection, slowly moving her hand up and down. "Mandy." He moaned. She stopped for a seconding lightly pushing him down on the bed, continuing immediately after. He shut his eyes. She got down on her knees. "Oohhh." He moaned as he felt her head moving slowly between his legs. After a few minutes she went faster. "Mandy, oh my god." He groaned. She loved all the vibrations she could feel. She could tell he was really enjoying himself. "Yeah, Mandy." He groaned giving in. He pulled her to her feet, took off her panties and sat her on the bed next to him. As they kissed he undid her bra. She took it off. His hand slowly went up her bare leg. As he did that he took his other hand grabbed her left breast, bent down and put it in his mouth. "Ohhh." She moaned. He did the same thing to the other. He watched her gasp as he slipped his hand inside. They kissed. She moaned into his mouth as he moved his hand slowly. After a few minutes she wanted him to go harder but couldn't form words at the moment. She reached down and pressed his hand into her more. "Mmmmm." She moaned. He went faster. "Randy." She moaned. He took his hand out and laid her down underneath him. They looked at each other as he slipped inside her. She whimpered a little. It'd been awhile for her and she'd never had one that big inside her. He started to move. They kissed. "Randy." She moaned against his lips. "Oh Mandy. He groaned. For the next three hours they enjoyed each other. He went faster. "Randy, ohhhh." She moaned loudly. "Uhnnn." He groaned. Randy, don't stop. She signed. He kissed her acrossed her neck slowly. "Randy oh yes, yes, oh my god." She moaned giving in. "Mandy." He groaned giving in.

Afterwards he turned the light on to talk to her. She was snuggled up to him.

"I want you to meet Alanna." She smiled.

"Ok."

"I want you to spend Christmas with us and come to my parents for Christmas dinner." "I promise my parents are a lot more accepting."

"I'd love to but you know I can't afford a flight to Missouri."

"I'll pay for it."

"I can't let you do that."

"I want to." "Please."

"Ok." They kissed.
