(Auties P.O.V.)

Finally my mom settled an agreement with Glen, our limo driver. They concluded that we would drive the white limo to the restaurant and then the black limo back to the house.. Rich people problems.

My mom and I loaded in and waited for Andrew and Rachel. She was laying her head on his shoulder and his hand was on her waist. I waited till he finished talking to her to yell at them.

"Okay lovebirds! Let's go already! I'm hungry." Both their head snapped up and their faces flushed red. Andrew and Rachel started walking towards the limo.

"Does he have a thing for..?" My mom started.

"Yup." I said before she could finish.

"And does she..?"

I nodded. "Probably. She hasn't said anything to me." My mom nodded in understanding.

The two of them piled in and sat next to me so I was in the middle. My mom and I gave each other knowing looks before I got up and sat next to my mom.

"So where are we going for lunch?" I asked.

My mother shrugged." I was thinking something low key. Nothing fancy. Would Olive Garden be okay?" She asked, looking at all three of us.

"Sure." I smiled.

The limo pulled up in front of Olive Garden. We all piled out. I looked back and noticed Andrew seemed a little nervous about all the stares we were getting.

I stop for a second to walk besides him. "My mom owns her own makeup company so people stare at us all the time."

My words didn't seem to comfort him what-so-ever. "I'm just afraid someone is going to recognize me from the Mafia and call the police." He whispered.-

iI hadn't ever thought of that. They never do seem to go out to public. I guess I never realized that they have to hide from some people.

"Hey mom? Could we just stop by McDonalds?" I asked my mom.

She gave me a weird look. "Ok. Come on let get back into the limo."

"Uh, inside the building." I told her.

"Whatever you say Hun." She sighed opening the car door for all of us.

~*~

We all walked into my moms house and I was instantly greeted by family. "Autie!" They all exclaimed rushing up to me.

"Hey everybody!" I walked through the big crowd hugging everyone with Rachel right behind me and doing the same. When I was done saying hi to people I walked over to Andrew. "Everyone this Andrew, our friend."

Andre smiled at all of them. My family came up to him and pulled him into a hug. Once they all let go my mom placed a hand on his shoulder. "I told you, this family hugs." She smiled.

"Autie!!" My cousin Sam exclaimed.

"Buggy!!" I hugged her and lifted her up. Sam is my 15 year old cousin and my buggy!! She my most favorite cousin ever!!

"Hey kid! What's new? Tell me stuff!"

She smirked. "I know you have a boyfriend."

I looked at her in shock. "How'd you know that?" I whispered.

"I didn't till now. Why don't you tell me stuff?" She demanded, narrowing her eyes.

I grabbed her hand and led her to the backyard. We sat on the swing set from when I was little. "His name is Ryan and he's friends with Andrew the boy that came with us."

"Is he hot?" Sam asked jokingly.

I laughed. "Ok, ok. Enough about me you still haven't told me stuff."

She shrugged. "Nothing really. Oh! Except Brian isn't coming till the day after thanksgiving. He spending Thanksgiving with his girlfriend's family."

I pouted. "Oh.. Poo.."

"Girls! Come on in!" I heard my mom yell. We got up headed into the house.

When I got in my mom led me into the living room. "Daddy!" I yelled, running up to him and giving him a hug.

"Hi princess." He kissed my forehead.

"How are you feeling?" I asked looking up at him.

He shrugged. "I'm alright. My muscles are a little stiff though."

"Oh I'm sorry daddy. But I brought Rachel with me." His face lit up.

"Hi dad!" Rachel smiled walking into his arms.

"Hi Peanut!" He kissed her head like he did to me.

"I missed you!" They both said before laughing.

I'm so glad Rachel can actually have a home now..

||THE NEXT DAY||

"Autie. Autie wake up." I heard a familiar voice whisper to me.

I pushed him away. "Ryan let me go back to sleep." After my tired brain had time to process what I just said my head shot up. "Ryan!" I screamed jumping onto him.

He laughed and kissed my cheek. "How's my girl?"

I pecked his lips. "What are you doing here?" My voice lowered into a loud whisper.

"Andrew convinced your mom and I for me to come here and be with you. Screw Henry, I can see him a different time."

I laid my head on his chest. "I'm so glad your here. I'm also glad I told my mom about you before now."

He laughed. "Ok well it's noon so your mom wants you in the dinning room for lunch." He helped me out of bed and wrapped an arm around my waist, walking into the kitchen with me.

A lot of my family was still here. When we entered most of the adults smirk at us while my younger family members laughed.

"Are you sure you are into Autie." My cousin Veronica smiled evilly. "I mean, you look like a sexy beast and Autie, looks like Autie."

He smiled back at her. "I know, she way to beautiful for me." He commented kissing my cheek.

I looked down to cover my blush. "Well aren't you too adorable." My mom smiled nudging my dad. "Right
Honey?"

He picked at his food with his fork. "Yeah yeah. As long as he doesn't treat her like the douche, Alec, did." He glared at Ryan before eating again.

Ryan tightened his grip on me. "Don't worry sir. I could never do that to her. Any guy would have to be mentally insane to hurt her." His face showed his anger and frustration in Alec.

My father smiled at him slightly. "Just remember that son." He said.

"Where's Rachel and Andrew?" I asked everyone.

"They went swimming in the backyard." My uncle Marlin told me.

I smile at him. "Thanks." I gave my mom and dad a kiss before taking Ryan's hand and leading them to my room.

"You brought a swimsuit right?" I asked him.

He nodded. "Yup."

I smiled. "Good put it on." I turned my back to him and slipped out of my clothes. I could feel him staring at me. "Are you just going to stand there or change?" I asked rolling my eyes.

I slipped on the bottoms and then the top of my bikini. It was neon pink with a black lining. I walked into the add-on bathroom and put my hair in a bun.

Ryan came up from behind and wrapped his arms around me. He started to place kisses on my neck. "I'm glad you came." I smiled.

"I'm glad I came to." I turned around in his arms and kissed him. He pinned me up against the counter and sat me on it.

Someone knocked on the bedroom door which made Ryan and i jump apart. Andrew walked in and rolled his eyes. "Relax its just me. I came to see if you two were coming swimming with us."

I smiled at him nervously. "Oh, uh, yeah we'll come out now." The three of us walked out the back door and jumped into the pool.

Rachel, Andrew, Ryan, and I played chicken and marko-polo before other family members joined us. The only thing that could make this visit better is if my friend Brian got here early.
