Visiting Family Chapter 2: Visiting Keller's Father
"Ladies and gentlemen, please return to your seats fasten your seatbelts for the landing," said the aircraft captain over the PA. Suddenly, Jennifer and Rodney rushed from the bathroom, sat down and put on their seat belts.
"Are you ok?" Jennifer asked.
"Yeah, I'm just really nervous about meeting your father," replied Rodney.
"I think he'll like you," said Jennifer as the plane touched down. They got off the plane, got their bags and then got a taxi to Keller's father's house.
They arrived at Keller's father's house in late evening
"Here we are," said Jennifer.
"Nice house," replied Rodney as they got their luggage out of the taxi.
"Hi Jen," said this voice coming from behind them. Jennifer turned round and replied,
"Hi Dad."
"Hello, Mr. Keller," said Rodney.
"Who are you?" asked Mr Keller.
"This is Dr Rodney McKay, my boyfriend," replied Jennifer.
"It is an honour to meet you," said Rodney as they went inside.
When they were all inside Mr. Keller closed the door and said,
"It's nice to meet you too Rodney."
"Thank you," replied Rodney.
"Why don't you two get settled in and I'll get us some drinks," said Mr. Keller.
"Ok, thanks Dad," said Jennifer going upstairs with Rodney. Once upstairs Jennifer said,
"Rodney, you will be sleeping in my room with me."
"I will? I mean I would rather sleep on the couch or in a spare room; it's not that I don't want to be in your bed with you because I would love to be in your bed with you it's just I wouldn't want to annoy your Dad," said Rodney.
"It'll be ok," laughed Jennifer.
"Are you sure?" asked Rodney.
"Yes, now let's get in there," replied Jennifer.
"Ok, I'm coming," said Rodney.
After they had settled in a voice came from downstairs.
"Drinks are ready," said Mr. Keller. So Rodney and Jennifer made their way downstairs and suddenly Jennifer said, "I have to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back."
So Rodney sat down in the lounge with Mr. Keller and Mr. Keller asked,
"So Rodney, what kind of doctor are you?"
"I'm a doctor of physics," Rodney replied.
"How long have you and Jen been seeing each other?" asked Mr. Keller as Jennifer entered the room.
"Well we've loved each other for some time now, but it's only recently that we started dating," replied Rodney.
They finished their drinks and Jennifer said,
"Well it's been a long day we should turn in, goodnight Dad."
"Goodnight Jen, goodnight Rodney," said Mr. Keller.
"Goodnight Mr. Keller," said Rodney as he and Jennifer made their way upstairs.
Over the next few days Rodney and Mr Keller had plenty of chats and got to know each other, which greatly pleased Jennifer. On their 5th day there Jennifer said to Rodney,
"Thank you for taking the time to get to know my Dad," as she kissed him.
"You're welcome," replied Rodney. Jennifer then went to speak to her Dad who was in the kitchen.
"So dad what do you think of Rodney?" she asked.
"I like him, I think he is great for you and I can tell he loves you a lot," replied her father.
"Thank you Dad," said Jennifer. Then they had dinner and a few drinks and then Rodney said, "We should go to bed because we have a long day tomorrow, goodnight Mr Keller."
"Goodnight you two," replied Mr Keller as Rodney and Jennifer went upstairs. The next day was the day to travel to Vancouver to see Jeannie. Rodney and Jennifer came downstairs with their luggage in their hands and the taxi was waiting outside.
"Goodbye Dad," said Jennifer as she hugged him.
"Goodbye Jen. Goodbye Rodney, it was nice getting to know you, take care," said Mr Keller as Jen and Rodney got into the taxi.
"Goodbye Mr Keller," said Rodney as the taxi started to pull away. Then they went to the airport and got a flight to Vancouver.
