I'm glad you're enjoying it :)
Will rang the doorbell and they braced themselves for his mother to answer it. Within a minute the wooden door was being flung open and an older woman was wrapping her son in an embrace.
"Ah my baby boy," Catherine LaMontagne said as she placed a hand on Will's cheek.
"Momma," Will replied with a smile. Though sometimes his mother could be a handful he did love her very much. "This-," he tried to say but got cut off.
"And you must be Jennifer," she said turning to JJ. "William hasn't told me much, so you need to tell me more about yourself," she said.
"I'll try," JJ smiled, her nervous feeling was still swelling in her stomach.
"And she will, but she shouldn't have to do it in the doorway," Will said.
"Right," Catherine said. "Come in, come in," she said moving aside for Will and JJ to walk in. JJ walked in first as Will guided her in with his hand on the small of her back. Will led her into the living room.
There was a long sofa and two arms chairs facing each other, with a coffee table in the middle. Will pushed JJ to the sofa side and they took a seat right next to each other.
"Can I get you both something to drink? I've got sweet tea,"Catherine asked after the couple sat down.
"Sounds good, Momma," Will nodded, and Catherine quickly dashed out the room.
"What did you tell her?" JJ asked quietly once his mother had left the room. This conversation had to be fast and over by time Catherine walked back in.
"Just that you're an FBI agent and that you live in Virginia," he had to tell his mother the reason the get together couldn't happen until now.
"That's it?" JJ didn't want any unexpected complications to come up.
"That's it," Will answered, just as he heard his mother come back in. Catherine placed the tray of glasses on the table between them and took a seat on the arm chair.
"So how long have you two been together?" Catherine asked leaning forward and picking up a glass.
"Two, three months," Will answered.
"A few months," JJ said at the same time.
"But you live in Virginia, how does that work?"
"We talk on the phone most nights," Will answered.
"And I come down whenever I have a free weekend. It's difficult but we're making it work," JJ added.
"Well you two do make an adorable couple, I'm just glad we could finally meet," Catherine said.
"Me too, Will's told me a lot about you," JJ said, trying to find the right balance of fake girlfriend and the truth.
"I'm surprised I'd even come up, you think you two would have more interesting things to talk about than some old woman," she laughed.
"Nonsense, I tell JJ everything," Will said taking JJ's hand in his.
"Me too," JJ added while she smiled at Catherine. Catherine looked over the moon with the pairing.
The door bell rang and Catherine checked her wrist watch for the time. "Ah that would be your brother," she said standing up.
"Luke? What's he doing here?" Will asked his mother.
"Well I invited him, dear," she answered.
"Why?"
"Because this is a family lunch. Did I not tell you?"
"No," Will answered and his eyes darted between his mother and JJ's reaction. He was dumbfounded. He couldn't imagine how she was.
"Well once you said you were bringing Jennifer, I called your siblings. It's not everyday you bring your girlfriend home," she said laughing off her son's bewilderment.
"Amy's coming too?" Will asked referring to his sister. This couldn't be any worse.
"She's running a little late, but said she'd be here before we sit for lunch," Catherine replied. The door bell sounded again and she quickly went off to answer it.
"Your whole family?" JJ looked at Will with nothing but shock and confusion filling her face.
"I swear I had no idea," Will said with a look that mimicked JJ's.
"What are we going to do?" She asked.
"I don't even know," he answered honestly. It was going to be hard enough to do this just for his mother, but now his whole family.
"We're screwed."
Will looked around the room and his eyes fell on the table in the next room. It was fully set, and he knew what that meant. "Crap," Will said mostly to himself.
"What?" JJ asked worriedly.
Thanks for reading. Review?
