Dinner With the Family

(Sorry that I waited so long to update. I've just been so busy. That's a bad excuse, but still. Also I knew the next chapter (this chapter would probably be last  chapter before the last chapter of this book. Yes another book is coming out soon. The third book of the series "Raising a Family with Him" and it will be the final book of the "Living With Him" series. Soooo yeah. This is the 2nd to final chapter of this book. The next one will start sometime this month or the next. Anyway enjoy and bye!)

Aaron pov (Yes, I waited intill the 2nd to final chapter for this beautiful moment in which the story would be told through his point of view.)

"Okay. Uh red tie, suit, and nice shoes, check. Hair combed, nice facial hair, and washed face check. Finally nothing my mother can complain about during our dinner with the family." I said as I looked at myself in the mirror.
Aphmau walked in and smiled. "You look amazing." She said putting her hand on my shoulder.
"I could say the same about you." I said. Her loose red dress flowed past her feet.
"With this pregnant belly. I don't think so." She said.
"Oh shut-up. Your beautiful and you know it."
She laughed. I looked at my watch. "Let's go we don't want to be late. My Aunt Dana and Uncle Daniel are waiting. " I said.

*In the car*

"Okay so your Aunt Dana, Uncle Daniel, Dalia, and Diana are going to be there. And Dana is Derek's (Aaron's dad if you don't know) sister. Am I correct?"
Aphmau asked.
"You are correct."
"Who else will be there?" Aphmau asked.
"Gene, my Uncle's sister Ripley, Diana's boyfriend Chris, Melissa, Ripley's son Lance, and Lance's girlfriend." I said while paying attention to the road.
"Wait! Gene's is going to be there." Aphmau said.
"Yep, Dalia said that he was her boyfriend and that she didn't care what our family thinks. But it's probably a bad idea." I said.
"How so?"
"My aunt and uncle always wanted Dalia to end up with another wealthy man. They always said that they didn't want someone to use her for her money. She will be the CEO of Whitewing industries when she turns forty-five. She's got thirteen  years of freedom left. Almost as much as me. I've only got twelve before dad wants me to take over the company. Anyway, I'm flying off topic. Gene's a garbage man who used to be in a gang. Also he's a college drop out. She graduated with a masters degree in historical science and digital arts. Also a minor degree in geomatry. She also has access to ten million dollars  and will own a billion dollar company. See the difference?" I asked. Aphmau sighed.
"Yeah..."

We pulled into the driveway and walked into the house together. We were greeted by my aunt and uncle. We went into the dinning room and sat down. Dalia was talking to Gene who was sitting beside Aphmau. He is cleaned up and wearing a nice suit. Finally dad sat beside me and my mom in front of him. Ripley walked in and sat by my mom and in front of me Diana sat in front of Gene and Chris sat in front of Dalia. Chris was different than I expected. He has blond hair with green eyes. I thought he would be more like Gene considering Diana and Dalia have always dated similar guys. What I noticed soon though was that Dalia had her wrist tattoo showing. If my uncle or aunt spots that they'll kill her. I whispered the warning to Gene. He nodded and whispered to Dalia who automatically pulled out her concealer and covered it. My parents haven't found out about the tattoo on the back of my shoulder yet, but when they do I'm probably going to die. Finally everyone was here except Lance and his girlfriend. Finally we heard someone rush in. "I'm so sorry I'm late! I almost got ran over by a drunk driver." He said.
Then someone walked in behind him. Wait is that Lily!
Aphmau's eyes grew tens times their size. She looked at me. My ex just had to show up. "Oh and everyone this is Lily. Lily this is my mom, Derek, Rachael, Dana, Daniel, Dalia, Diana, Chris, Dalia's boyfriend, and Aaron and his wife." He said.
As soon as he said my name Lily's mouth slightly dropped. "Aaron, Aphmau, Gene. So nice to see you again. You too Dalia." Lily said.
She and Lance sat beside Chris and Diana.
Finally men wearing suits brought out our food. I was hungry, but turducken was not something I wanted to eat right now. I sat and my mom started on about how rude Katherine Charles had been at their last meeting and how she made inappropriate jokes. My dad leaned over and whispered "I thought they were funny, your mom just has a cactus up her butt."
I held in my laughter.
Then the question finally came up. Daniel asked "So Gene what do you do?"
"For a living?" Gene asked.
"Why of course." Daniel said.
Dalia took matters into her own hands and said "He works as a driver for the waste disposal unit."
Her dad laughed.
"That's funny, but what's your real job?" Daniel asked.
Dalia's face becomes stale.
Her dad raises a eyebrow.
"Wait. Your not joking?"
"No. Dad. I'm not." Dalia said.
Her mom stopped cutting her turducken and looked at Gene and Dalia.
"Haha. Well someone has to do it." Daniel said.
Dana looked back down at her plate.
Lily snickered.
Finally someone continued the conversation. Dad kept whispering random crap in my ear and Aphmau ate silently.
Everyone finished eating and dessert came out. Aphmau smiled at the hot fudge cake that was brought out. She's like a child when it comes to sweets. I love that about her. Melissa also seemed happy about it. I looked at the cake, but I'm still to stressed to eat. Lily is going to do something and I'm not going to like it. I can see it on her face.
After everyone finished we all went into the family room. Aphmau sat on the couch with Gene and they started talking. Melissa and Dalia were having a conversation in the corner. My mom and aunt started to drink wine by the fire. Dana, like my dad, actually has a sense of humor, so I'm not sure how she puts up with my mom.
I started to walk over to Aphmau when my Dad pulled me into the group of men by the bookshelf.
"Aaron we were just talking about you. Your about to be a father. And I'm about to be a grandfather. I feel so old. Just kidding, I've still got a kick in my step." He said. I sighed. Then Lily walked over. "Lance, baby,  the car doors jammed and I left my purse in there."
"Why don't you use the other door then?" He asked.
"Because Lance I am wearing a dress and I don't want to wrip it while getting my purse."
I couldn't help, but chuckle. I can't believe he actually can stand her.
"What's so funny, Aaron?" She asked.
I started to laugh.
"It's just...you know....funny." I said while laughing.
She gave me a disgusting look.
This is hilarious.
I saw Aphmau raise an eyebrow from the couch.
I gestured for her to join the conversation, but she denied.

Lily stomped off mad.
Lance glared at me. "Well that was interesting." Dad said sipping his wine.
"I'm going to see if Aphmau is okay" I said walking away.
I sat beside her.
"What was so funny?" Aph asked.
I chuckled while thinking about it.
"Lily was giving Lance a hard time. It was funny." I said.
"Oh." Aphmau said.
"Do you want some water or..."
"I'm fine." She said.
"Okay."
Finally Lance came over.
"Can I talk to you in private?" He asked.
"Sure." I said.
I figured this was about Lily.
We walked into another room.
As soon as he closed the door he turned around and punched me in the nose.
"What was that for?" I asked holding my nose because it started to bleed.
"You upset Lily!" He said.
"How so?" I asked.
"You made her cry!" He yelled.
"Why because I laughed about her not wanting to wrip that oh so fancy ten year old dress she got for nine dollars off of Wish." I said.
"So! And how do you know where she got that dress?" He asked.
"Oh so she didn't tell you?" I said.
"Tell me what?" He asked.
"Nothing. It's not my place to tell you. Anyway I need to get back to my wife so..." I said before being interrupted by Aphmau screaming.
I ran out of the room and over to Aphmau.
"My water broke!" She yelled.
"Oh my Irene! Derek call an ambulance!" My mom yelled. He did. I held Aphmau. I didn't know what to say.
"Okay babe just hold on." I said as she yelled in pain.
Then we heard sirens. They started to load Aphmau up and I said I would ride with her. My Mom, Dad, sister, Dalia, aunt, uncle, and Diana all jumped in the car to follow us. I pulled out my phone and called Slyvanna. "Hello?" She answered.
"The baby is coming! Get to the hospital! The baby is coming!" I yelled.
"Its coming! Tell Aphmau to hold on, Mommy's coming!" She yelled.

We got to the hospital and they rushed Aphmau into the delivery room.
Everyone else rushed in and were held in the waiting room.
I took off my suit jacket and tie. The doctor gave me gloves and some nurse garments. I pulled them over my clothes and ran in. A few minuted later Slyvanna ran in wearing the same garments and went to Aphmau's other side.
"Mommy's here!" She said.
"You got this, sweetie. Your almost there." I said. The doctor also said things, but I wasn't listening. I am going to be a dad!

(To be continued...)
