To Grandmother's (and father's) House We Go

Sep 26, 2008 18:24

Ali has never brought a man home to visit her grandparents, and so she is very very nervous indeed. Nervous with a capital "N"...and a capital "ER"...and let's throw "VOUS" in there so it doesn't feel left out. It was a hopeful kind of nervous, to be sure, but one very well informed of her past failures and in no mood to let her forget them. In ( Read more... )

Fortunately, Hans has no intention of keeping her waiting for very long. He'd had to do a quick pick up for a gift--he wanted to be a good guest, after all--but now he was ready.

He quickly made his appearance, looking as at ease with himself as a man about to meet his girlfriend's parents can.

There will, of course, be kisses for Ali.

Ali smiled in relief when she saw Hans, leaning over the flocking goslings to return the kisses. And Alured, from his vantage point in Ali's arms, decides to play mimic and gives Hans a great big wet smooch on his cheek.

"We're all well, and glad to see you," Ali answers quickly, before the children get too anxious to have their turn to talk. They want to brag to Hans about their successes in classes and sports, and also want to know how he has been. But all that's a bit hard to make out when they all talk at once.

"Children, calm down, there will be plenty of time to tell Hans and Gram and Gran. And that time will come sooner if we leave sooner."

And so reminded, the goslings go and get their luggage, and even Mommy's too, and then look expectant.

Hans smiles happily at the children, and even gives Alured a little kiss when he has a free moment in the tussle.

He carefully adjusts his own load of items, and looks to the luggage. "What may I carry?"

Ali's default response would be "nothing," but she catches herself before that comes out and offers him one of her suitcases (one of the lighter ones). "Thank you love."

And once all the luggage is dealt with, and everyone's clustered together, it's a quick PINpointing to their destination. No scary dangerous woods necessary (which is good, since none of them are bakers, giant-slayers, or wearing red hoods).
