I felt someone nudge me as I was sleeping. "Mum? Mum? Wake up... there's someone here to see you."

I slowly forced my eyes open to see Adele frantically jumping at my side. "What..." I whispered as I rubbed my eyes.

"It's almost midday Mum..." she urged.

I quickly shot up, "Oh my god, work... and you're not at school?" I jumped out of bed and ran toward the bathroom.

Adele rolled her eyes, "Mum! It's Saturday!" I stopped suddenly as I let what she had said settle in. I spun back around and found my daughter laughing at me like I was an idiot. I couldn't help but smile as well.

"I'm sorry, I just didn't sleep well last night" I said getting down to her level.

"Did you have a nightmare?" she asked innocently, "I hate having those."

I placed my hand on her cheek lovingly, "Something like that but, it's gone now."

"Daddy must have given you a big hug and shooed that nightmare away" she said happily, "Then he'd kiss you goodnight and he'd protect you."

Poor Adele had no idea that the nightmare was her father. "So, why were you jumping around like a frantic frog?"

She giggled, "Because there's someone here to see you."

"To see me?" I asked baffled as to who would want to see me on a Saturday morning, "Who is it?"

Adele grinned happily, "Grandma and Grandpa from England!" Her words caused my body to freeze. I slowly stood up straight and braced my hands onto the basin in the bathroom. Looking into my reflection all I could think about was the stories that Wade, Molly and Peter had told me about them and now they were downstairs waiting on me. This could not be happening.

...

Phil and Sheamus were trying on tuxedos; Phil stared up and down into his reflection. "What do you think about this B.I.L.?"

Sheamus looked at him blankly, "WHAT?"

"B.I.L. don't you get it?" he said. Sheamus shook his head, with one eyebrow raised. "B.I.L. stands for brother in law! Genius huh?"

Sheamus chuckled, "What is my sister marrying into?"

Phil smirked, "I love your sister very much and she's everything to me. You know that I make her happy and will always do so..."

The Irishman's face turned serious as he looked at Phil. "You know that if I hear anything and I mean anything about you doing something bad to my sister, I'm going to get you. I want you to always remember that."

Phil gulped down his throat at the sight of his serious brother in law, "Sure... of course Sheamo"

Sheamus smiled happily as he slapped Phil on the back, "Right then! Shall we continue with fashion show?"

Phil laughed awkwardly, "Yeah, sure."

"I think you look great in that one you got on now, Adele will think you look very handsome" he said as he looked at him.

"Yeah? I really want to look good for her. You know she's so beautiful and I just want to look good enough for her, especially on our wedding day" said Phil.

Sheamus placed his hand on Phil's shoulder, "You look fine Fella! You know that I do care about you and think of you as my friend. My sister is really lucky to have you."

"Thanks... I think you're a pretty cool guy too, you know when you're not talking about hurting me" said Phil. Sheamus nodded. "Well, how about we find something for you; you're going to be walking the bride down the aisle."

"So you've decided on what you're going to wear?" asked Sheamus.

Phil nodded eagerly, "I think I know." He pushed Sheamus away from the dressing room that they had been standing in and toward the other suits.

A sales assistant was standing by, "Can I help you sir?"

Sheamus stared around at the suits, "Yeah I'm looking for a shirt, vest and tie... can you help me out?"

She smiled at him kindly, "I'll be right back, with some items."

"And some pants of course" he spoke.

She laughed, "Of course, Sir."

Phil smirked as he approached Sheamus from behind; he had been watching everything. "So B.I.L. when do you think you'll settle down, you know have a girl of your own?"

Sheamus let out a sigh, "I don't know... I don't have the best of luck when it comes to love."

"But you're Irish, I thought you're supposed to be the luckiest people in the world" said Phil.

"Well that luck never touched me" he said as placed his hands in his pockets, "I have the worst luck."

"That can't be true, you're a very nice, caring and heavily muscled man... the ladies must be dying at your feet" said Phil, "I wish I looked like you."

Sheamus laughed lightly, "That's not the case."

"Tell me about it then, there has to be some girl that's caught your eye?"

The Irishman's blue eyes lit up as he spoke, "There's one girl... Since I met her I've felt so attracted to her. I feel like there's chemistry between us, I feel like if we had the chance we could be something great but..." Sheamus lowered his head.

"But what?"

"She's with someone else" said Sheamus sadly, "I can't get in the middle of that."

"Is she happy with the guy that she's with?" asked Phil.

"I'm sure that she loves him, but I could really love her so much more" he said.

"So? You love this woman?"

Sheamus smiled, "I'm starting to."

...

"Your grandparents are here... your father's parents?" I said slowly, trying to breathe.

Adele nodded, "Yeah, they said that they've come here to see you."

I pressed my hands against my cheeks, a year and half ago I was a simple girl but now I felt like I was meeting the king and queen. "What are they like?"

"They were really nice, Grandma said that I looked just like her" said Adele gleaming.

I smiled at her, they were her real grandparents and I wanted her to love them as I hoped that they loved her. But of course a grandparent was going to love their grandchild regardless of their parent. "Did your father want you to tell me anything?"

She shook her head, "He just told me to get you."

"Nothing else?"

"Nothing else" she replied.

"Alright... you can go downstairs and spend time with your grandparents I'll be down soon" I said before giving her a cuddle.

Adele noticed how nervous I was after I hugged her. "Mum, are you alright?"

I nodded, "I'm just a little scared."

She stared at me blankly, "Why?"

"I guess... because this is the first time meeting your grandparents and I want them to like me. First impressions can be long lasting" I said.

"When I first met you, I liked you" she said, "Even if you weren't with my Daddy but I wanted you to be."

I smiled and kissed her cheek, "I loved you the moment your Dad told me about you." Adele gave me another cuddle and then she skipped out of the room. I quickly got freshened up; I brushed my teeth and had a shower. I stared at my wardrobe for a good 10 minutes trying to decide on what to wear; I had my mind set on a red, cotton wrap dress that I hadn't worn in ages. I brushed my hair out; as per usual it was not going the way I liked so I quickly ran over it with a hair straightner. I sprayed myself with my favourite perfume; it was also Wade's favourite. Then the thought of Wade not even being by my side as I met his parents tortured me. Was he even going to support me? Was he just going to let them skin me alive? Not only was I about to meet the in laws for the first time but I was going to see my wound up husband who had gotten into a argument with me, for the first time. This was not going to be easy.
