A/N: Adding in more characters since not much is known about Finn's personal life.
The chilly November weather in Ireland and snow outside wasn't much of a shock to Finn or Amanda… but Amanda was nervous about meeting Finn's family. Finn reached over and lightly rubbed Amanda's left thigh.
"They're gonna love ya, lass. Don't worry." Finn says, lightly stroking Amanda's shoulder length hair with his left hand before they kiss. Finn had already met Amanda's brothers at Backlash and her niece, sister in law and parents just after Halloween and the second little 6 year old Shelby saw the Legos that Finn bought for her, she adored the handsome Irishman and started asking when Finn and Amanda would get married and have kids, Shelby having been asking for a cousin since she was a toddler. "Ah, there's Conor's car." He says, Amanda seeing a 2014 Honda Accord drive up as Finn's younger brother Conor, Conor's wife Alexandria and their 10 year old son Aiden got out of the car, Amanda and Finn getting out of their rental car, a 2013 Chevrolet Equinox.
Amanda had just closed the passenger door when she screamed out in shock as Aiden tackled her to the ground, Finn, Conor and Alexandria running over and helping Aiden and Amanda up.
"Sorry, lass. He can be a bit hyper sometimes." Conor says, Aiden and Finn hugging.
"I missed ya, Uncle Finn!" Aiden says happily as they let go.
"I missed ya too, lad. But you've got to be careful, okay?" Finn says, Amanda remembering that John had often said that to her when she was a kid as she brushed some snow off of her trench coat.
"Okay." Aiden says before turning to Amanda. "Sorry, ma'am." He says.
"It's okay, kiddo. And feel free to call me Amanda." Amanda says, trying to relax a little as all five of them walked up to the door of an old style colonial house, Finn knocking on the door before it opened and a woman with dark brown hair and blue eyes opened the door, immediately hugging Finn, Amanda, Conor, Aiden and Alexandria before all of them walked into the house.
"I missed you, Ma. This is my girlfriend, Amanda." Finn says.
"Such a beautiful little lass. My name is Maureen." The woman says as she and Amanda hug again.
"It is nice to meet you, ma'am." Amanda says as they let go, Amanda cringing a bit as her right hip started to ache.
"My grandson likes to tackle people, reminds me of Finn at that age." Maureen says, Finn turning a bit red with embarrassment.
"My niece like to jump out and tackle people too and I grew up with five older brothers, so I'm used to being tackled." Amanda says before they all sit down, Alexandria checking on Amanda.
"Are you sure you're alright?" Alexandria asks, Amanda nodding before the slightly taller brunette took Aiden outside to play as Conor went to help Maureen with the turkey.
"You're hurting again, aren't you?" Finn asks quietly, Amanda having been injured at Survivor Series in her match against Nia Jax after crashing into the barricade. Amanda had won but couldn't walk after that and Nia apologized after she and Finn helped Amanda to the backstage area. X Rays at the hospital revealed that Amanda had not only bruised her hip but cracked two ribs.
"Yeah… I didn't want to be out of it, I wanted to be awake and painkillers…" Amanda says.
"Make you sleepy… same with me." Finn says, rolling up his right shirt sleeve and revealing some small scars Amanda hadn't noticed before. "Climbing a tree once when I was 10, fell out and smashed up my arm. Was given too many painkillers and out I was." He says, readjusting his shirt sleeve as a man in his mid 50s to early 60s walked in, smiling when he saw Finn.
"Ah, hello my son. Happy Thanksgiving." The man says, walking over and hugging Finn as Finn and Amanda stood up, the man smiling approvingly at Amanda as he and Finn let go. "And such a beautiful young lass you found. I'm Ian." He says, him and Amanda hugging and Amanda cringing as pain shot through the injured areas of her body.
"Dad, be careful with her." Finn says, Ian lightly patting Amanda's shoulder after they let go.
"I watched the pay per view, that was a really bad fall you took, young lass." Ian says.
"I'm okay, sir…" Amanda says.
"Ah ah, you can call me Ian but I like how respectful you are to your elders, Amanda." Ian says before Alexandria and Aiden ran in.
"Granddad!" Aiden says excitedly, Finn pulling Amanda out of the way so Ian could hug Aiden and Alexandria.
"See? Perfectly normal family, nothing to worry about…" Finn says before lowering his voice. "But since you're still sore from the incident, how about a glass of whiskey to take the edge off?" He whispers before leading Amanda into the kitchen, pouring two glasses of whiskey for them before they lightly clanged the glasses together and drank them slowly.
A while later, everyone was sat down at the dining table, holding hands as Maureen said a prayer before finishing, everyone eating.
'Everything's starting to turn around, finally… now calm down and enjoy it.' Amanda thought as she glanced out at the snowy Ireland evening.
It wasn't long before everyone had settled down to watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, Finn's arms wrapped around Amanda as she rested her head on his shoulder, Aiden half asleep between his parents on the couch. After a while, Conor, Aiden and Alexandria hugged everyone and left, Finn and Amanda standing up and hugging Finn's parents before saying goodbye and leaving.
"Maybe I shouldn't have suggested Irish whiskey to take the edge of the pain off… are you alright, love?" Finn says as he drove, Amanda giggling a bit as she had also drank two more glasses of whiskey during dinner.
"I'm okay, I'm just hoping I didn't scare Aiden by drinking." Amanda says, still a bit drunk.
"Ah, he'll be alright. Hey, try not to fall asleep just yet, we'll be at the hotel soon." Finn says, lightly rubbing Amanda's left side.
"Hey, you drank the whiskey too, Finn." Amanda says.
"Yeah but you're much smaller than I am, it takes a lot more to affect me." Finn says as he turned the radio on,
Modern Love by David Bowie playing and Amanda singing along.
Finn couldn't help but smile at his girlfriend… whenever Amanda would sing, she just seemed so innocent and he loved that.
