Chapter 36: Nervous, Hell Yeah

"Babe, breathe. You'll be fine." Shane told Mitchie since she's like holding her breath by the time they walked out of the car. The gang were already inside since the party already started. Lynette kind of found out about the party so it really wasn't that a big surprise now.

"Shane, what if they don't like me? What if…" Mitchie looked at Shane with big worried eyes.

"Babe…" Shane faced her and cupped her cheek. "You are going to be fine and they will love you okay? And besides, you're the only girl I brought here so they're pretty much excited to meet you."

"Really? I'm the only girl?" Mitchie asked.

"The one and only…" Shane winked at her. "Well, I'm not really the kind of guy who sticks to one girl so I kind of brush the entire family thing off the iterinary of my entire relationship with a girl. Only until you that I became serious with one girl."

"Babe, that's sweet. But it's not helping!" she screamed. "Ugh! I should have just bought that gift that I saw for your mom and dad…"

"Mitchie. Stop it okay? I promise you… Santorini will fade if they'll hate you…" Shane told her.

Mitchie looked at him like she's going to kill him for making her go and meet his parents. "Fine! I am so going to cast off my self in an island far away from this if they hated me!" she told him and they walked to the door. Shane just smiled to himself.

A sweet music was softly flowing when Shane and Mitchie entered the door. Therese, Lynette's daughter was playing it.

"There's my favorite niece!" Shane called to Therese and the little girl stopped playing and ran off to her uncle Shane. They had been spending a lot of time together and it seems that the little girl is getting spoiled by her rich uncle.

Therese peeped behind her uncle and whispered "Is she the princess you were talking about Uncle Shane?" She had some bedtime stories told by her uncle before he tucks her to bed and a princess was quite the highlight of the stories or story for the current matter.

"How'd you figure out?" he asked her.

"Because she's pretty like you've told me." Therese smiled at her uncle then she was gotten settled at the ground and she ran off to the living room telling her grandparents that Shane has arrived.

"Was that true?" Mitchie asked me before we started to head in.

"What true?" Shane asked then it striked him that she was talking about the princess thing. "Of course, you are my one and only pretty princess." Shane told her.

"I was lying a while ago." Mitchie told him. Then Shane looked at her with puzzled look in his eyes. "You're way of soothing me awhile ago really made me feel better. And I love everything you say about me babe."

Shane smiled at her and pulled her to a kiss. They started a make-out session until someone cleared a throat behind them. Then they broke off and faced the music. It was Lynette.

"I quite figured out the hold up." Lynette said referring to their kiss. "I just hope that my daughter didn't see you doing that. Please… I'm so going to kill you Shane!"

"Don't worry Lyns… she's still innocent." Shane told her.

"Good. Now get your two cute little butts in here because mom and dad can't wait to meet Mitchie." Lynette said walked away.

"I told you… they want to meet you…" Shane whispered to her as they started to walk to the living room.

Now I'm nervous again! Mitchie thought.

Mitchie and Shane approached the living room. There was Lynette and her daughter, Tess and the gang, Shane's brothers and sister, and Shane's parents. Mitchie and Shane sat on the available seats around the living room. They were many there but Shane's house is so big that there were still many more spaces to occupy.

"So, you must be Mitchie?" Shane's mom approached her and gave her a hug. "Thank you dear."

Mitchie got confused. "Excuse? Sorry, but why are you thanking me?"

Shane's mother laughed and said, "Because you brought my baby back home. If it wasn't for you, he would have stayed to that somewhere he was the past years."

Mitchie smiled and went to greet each of Shane's family members. The last was Lynette whom she had already met.

"Hey, sis-in-law, meet my daughter Therese…" Lynette told her.

"Hey Therese, it is nice to meet you…" Mitchie said to her and kneeled to be as same height as Lynette's daughter.

"Hey Mitchie." Then she gave her a big bear hug. Then the people around laughed since they see it was so adorable.

That instant, Mitchie felt at home. She had never had this fun ever since her mother died. Her own father despises her. Her brother has his own family now and they're all that she's got. But with Shane's family, it was huge and everyone loves each other. She would love to be a part of it someday. Well, if Shane wants her to be. And it felt good, she envied Shane.

"How could you leave these people? I would trade anything to have a family like yours, babe…" Mitchie said to Shane once they were alone at Shane's balcony.

Shane took a deep breath. "Yeah. Leaving town was a big mistake. But I have to find myself Mitch and I never regretted all those years that I lost contact with them. Because if I haven't left I wouldn't have met you…" he said as he wrapped his arms around her.

"Yeah. I agree. I love your mom. She's so adorable. And so is your dad. He cracks the best jokes ever!"

"Well, it's their genes that are in me so they must be that adorable." Shane smirked.

"Yeah. But you are corny unlike your dad." Mitchie told him and stuck out her tongue.

"Is that so huh?" then Shane tickled her sides. Mitchie was laughing so hard that she was crying already.

"Shane, stop it!" Mitchie laughed.

"Not until you say that Shane is the most gorgeous, adorable and loving boyfriend ever."

"Fine!"

"Say it!"

"Shane is the most gorgeous, adorable, loving, caring, perfect boyfriend ever…" Mitchie said it with sincerity as she faced him and looked straight to his eyes.

"I'm not perfect Mitch…" Shane said as he pulled away a strand of her to her ear.

"I know… but for me, you are. You complete me." Mitchie said and placed her lips on his.
