A/N: I hope you like this chapter!

Disclaimer: I own none of these wonderful characters except for Ranger's family(well the names anyways.

Previously: "White girl, I think yo betta move yo ass out of here 'fore the bat slings you o'er his shoulder," she told me with wide eyes as she stared at Ranger. I felt Ranger walk over here more than I heard him. He slung me over his shoulder and started walking out the door.

"Thanks for giving him the idea Lula!" I yelled glaring at her. I felt Ranger shake with silent laughter. He buckled me into the car.

"Babe," he said chuckling as he shook his head laughing. I crossed my arms as he made his way to the drivers side.

An hour later I was freshly showered and I was wearing a dress that wasn't up to the slut scale but it wasn't like I was an old maid or anything. It was blue and I was wearing it to bring out my eyes. I had my hair tamed and it actually looked nice. I went for a natural look with my make-up and I wore peep-toe blue flats that matched the dress. It was a special at Macey's. A girl has to coordinate, or at least sometimes. I grabbed a small purse and when I stepped out, I felt the butterflies in my stomach. Would his parents like me? I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I could do this. Okay maybe I needed another swipe of mascara. No. I could do this...hopefully. I opened my eyes to see Ranger smirking at me. He wasn't wearing his usual black cargo pants and black tee. Instead he was wearing light wash blue jeans and a white t-shirt with a navy blue blazer. He looked utterly delectable. His shirt was tight and I could see his muscles outlined. I unconsciously licked my lips and I drug my eyes up to Ranger's. They had gone from brown to almost black. He stepped forward.

"Babe, you look...," he told me trailing off as I saw his eyes look me up and down.

"You look pretty good yourself, batman," I said with a grin. He pulled me to him for a sweet, soft, tantalizing kiss.

"We better get going. I don't want to get in trouble for being late," he said grabbing my hand. I snorted. Him afraid of his mom?

"Come on little guy. I don't want you to get in trouble with your mom," I said trying to keep the grin off my face as I pulled him out the door.

"You're playing with fire babe," he told me as he pulled me back to him. I stared into his eyes.

"Good thing I can take the heat then, huh?" I asked with a smile. He pulled me to him and our mouths fused together in a passionate kiss. I moaned into his mouth.

"Dios, babe! The things you do to me," he whispered with a smile. He took my hand and we made our way to his Cayenne. We got in and his hand was on my thigh the whole way there. When he pulled into the driveway of a medium sized brown house with cars parked in the driveway. I gulped. I could do this. I could. I looked over at Carlos and he was smiling.

"Come on babe. They'll love you, I swear," he told me. We got out of the car and met in front. He grabbed my hand and we made our way to the door. He knocked before he entered the unlocked door. Inside it was warm and I could hear the chatting of people. He squeezed my hand.

"Carlos!" a plump older woman called holding out her hands.

"Mama," he said with a smile. They hugged and when they stepped back her eyes went to me.

"And this must be the lovely Stephanie we have all heard so much about," she said with a smile, here eyes crinkling.

"Nice to meet you Mrs. Manoso," I said with a smile.

"Please call me Josefina," she told me.

"Carlos, nice of you to come home," a deep voice boomed. I looked up to see an older looking Carlos coming up.

"Papa, good to be home. This is my…girlfriend Stephanie," Carlos informed him introducing me. He shook my hand.

"Nice to meet you Stephanie. I've heard so much about you from my other son Alejandro. Seems Carlos here wanted to keep you all to himself, and I can't say I blame him," Mr. Manoso said with a grin and wink. I blushed.

"Ricardo!" Josefina said smacking him as he kissed the top of my hand. I giggled.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Manoso," I said with a smile.

"Ricardo, please," he said wagging his eyebrows with a grin. I saw Josefina roll her eyes.

"Such a flirt, Ricardo," she said shaking her head sadly.

"There's my favorite grandson," an old lady who looked about Grandma Mazur's age said coming up.

"Abuela, nice to see you again," Carlos said giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"You as well Carlos. You never stop by anymore," she said then she turned to me, "and I can see why. What a lovely young lady. Aren't you going to introduce us?"

Carlos' POV

"Abuela, this is Stephanie. Steph this is my Abuela," I told her with a grin.

"Nice to meet Carlos' grandma," I said with a smile. She smiled back.

"Well come on you two, don't just stand there. Let's get some food," she said ushering us forward.

"Carlos! There you are," a lady said coming up to him said.

"Celia! Lovely to see you again," I mumbled as she pulled me into a hug. Celia was my oldest sister, then Alejandro then me and finally Francisca, my youngest sister.

"And who is this lovely young woman, brother?" she asked looking at me.

"This is Stephanie," he said. Celia took my hand.

"Welcome Stephanie. I've heard about you from Alejandro. Seems Carlos likes to keep things to himself. Is it true that you got our Carlos to wear a pink shirt that said, 'tough guys wear pink'?" she said.

"You bet. I even bought it for him too and he wore it proudly too. He's my man," she told Celia with a smirk. Celia laughed.

"Babe," I warned.

"Hush, Carlos. It's obvious that you are her man," Celia told me with a grin. I rolled my eyes.

"Carlos, did you bring the shirt with you back to Trenton?" Steph asked looking at me.

"Mmhmm," I mumbled. She grinned. I heard a growl and we all realized it was Steph's stomach. She blushed.

"Babe, let's go feed the beast," I told her with a grin.

"Nice meeting you Celia," Steph said. We walked into the kitchen. I got Steph and I a plate. We took it outside to sit on the patio with everyone else. I saw aunts and uncles of mine all around. The kids were running around. We dug in and Steph moaned with every bite.

"This is soooooo good, Carlos," she moaned as she bit into an empanada.

"Glad you like it, babe. My mom makes them," he informed me. She nodded. She scarfed down a bunch more.

"I can't believe you ate that many," I stated looking at her.

"They were just too tasty. That was good," she sighed as she patted her stomach. I saw her pale.

"Babe?"

"Ooh, I don't feel too good," she said looking kind of green, "I think I ate too much." I saw her hand clamp over her mouth.

"I have some Tums in my purse. I left it in the car. Can I have the keys?" she asked.

"I'll get it babe," I offered, starting to get up.

"No! No, I'll get it. I don't want end up puking in front of people, that is if I do puke," she mumbled. I pulled the keys out of my pocket.

"You sure you don't want me to come with you?" I asked her as I handed her the keys. She nodded.

"Be back in a bit," she said flashing me a small smile. I nodded.
