Megan heard Jennifer and Bill enter their house and greet Lacey and then Peter. Megan felt rather nervous and she felt butterflies in her stomach and Megan was not one for any form of emotion but now she was pregnant she had become more sensitive to things and people around her. Megan looked at herself in her full length Mirror and then took a deep breath and then walked out of the room with a smile to hide the nervousness.

"Wow you must be the gorgeous Megan "Jennifer said as she grabbed Megan and hugged her which shocked Megan as she was never one for hugs.

"Hello Jennifer, Nice to finally meet you "Megan said politely to her one day mother in-law as she pulled out of the hug.

"My look at you , you have a nice little bump already" Jennifer said as looked at Megan's small bump.

"Hi William Dunlop but just call me Bill "Bill said as he took hold of Megan's hand and kissed it.

"Your right son, she sure is pretty well done son" Bill said in his thick southern drawl.

"Please sit down, would you like drink?" Megan asked politely

"I would love a white wine please sweetheart" Jennifer said with a friendly smile.

"I sure would love a beer" Bill said brightly. Megan walked in to the kitchen to get those drinks which left Peter, Bill, Jennifer and Lacey.

"she sure is lovely Peter" Jennifer said as she smiled at her son.

" I agree, you have done well son and this lovely young lady is wonderful too" Bill said as he looked at lacey who blushed which made peter chuckle as Lacey was rather Like Megan sometimes.

A few moments later Megan came back with the drinks and handed them to Bill and Jennifer who thanked Megan and took sips of their drinks and sat quietly watching Megan and peter who were talking and laughing at something which made Jennifer smile and chuckle.

"They are always like that" lacey said to Jennifer who smiled at lacey who took a sip of her water and smiled back.

A few moments later the bell rang which could only mean that Joan hunt was here which made Megan extra nervous.

"I'll get it" lacey jumped up of the sofa and opened the door t see her grandmother dressed up to the nines just for a simple dinner with close family.

"Hi grandma" lacey said as she hugged Joan who returned the hug and walked into the apartment as Lacey shut the door and took her grandmother to the lounge to meet the Dunlop's.

"Hi everyone" Joan said confidently

"Wow you ...re..The... Judge Joan Hunt and should be major too, what are you doing here" Jennifer just managed to squeeze out.

"I take it you have heard of me and that's very sweet thank you "Joan laughed and extended her hand to shake Jennifer's hand and then shook Bills hand.

"I'm sorry about my wife it's just she a huge fan of your work and you really" Bill said

"This my mother" Megan said

"Really?, well your very lucky" Jennifer said

"Jenny?" Bill gave Jennifer a warning look as if to say "Stop now".

"Sorry I never know when to stop" jen said rather embarrassed

"Mum would you like a drink?" Megan asked as she got to her feet.

"Thank you darling I would love a red wine" Megan got up and walked into the kitchen to be follow by Peter.

"What's wrong Megan?" Peter could see something was bothering Megan.

"see why I try to stay away from her , she just loves being the centre of attention when tonight is meant to be about us and becoming a family" Megan said as she poured her mother red wine wanting that drink for herself but knew she couldn't have it.

"I know , we will get through this alright just hold my hand under the table and squeeze it and I will squeeze back and then you know you're not alone"

"I love you Peter" Megan tip toed and kissed peter on the lips but stopped as lacey walked into the kitchen.

"Oh sorry did I interrupt anything?" lacey said suspiciously

"Oh no it's alright" Megan smirked at Peter as she walked by holding her mother's red wine .

"here you go Mother" Megan said as she handed her mother her drink.

"Thank you Megan darling"

"I loved that Case you did not so long ago when that lady killed her baby and you found her guilty and how did you cope with all the bad press against you ?" Jennifer asked as she took a sip of her drink waiting for Joan's reply. Megan walked out of the room at this point as she was fed up discussing her mother's job and how the press ripped her mother a part and she felt the after math as they came to her as soon as they found out Megan is Joan's daughter. Peter noticed Megan had left the room and decided to give her some space.

"Are you alright mom?" Lacey said as she walked in to the kitchen.

"I'm fine Lace, can you tell everyone that dinner is actually ready" Megan said as she grabbed plates. Lacey walked into the lounge area and told them all dinner was ready and they all made their way to the table and took their seats. Bill sat next to Jennifer and Lacey sat next to Jennifer and Joan sat next to Lacey so Megan and Peter were able to sit together.

Ten minutes later dinner was served they all began to tuck in and there was silence at the table as everyone tucked into the delicious food which Megan and had actually got from the store and heated in the oven and microwave as she was never really a good cook but no one seemed to complain as there was scraping of plates and every plate was left empty which was always a good sign.

"That was lovely Megan thank you "Jennifer said politely as she placed her knife and fork down on the empty plate.

"Oh you're welcome and I am glad that you enjoyed it which was the main thing" Megan said with a huge smile. Peter reached for Megan's hand under the table and gave it a squeeze in which Megan squeezed back a few moments later.

Well I hope you liked it . You all know what to do and I would love to get more reviews from you all and I like to know if you are all still enjoying the story. The Dunlop-hunt baby will arrive soon I promise.
