They had come unannounced. Why were you to expect, they always came unannounced. It was always their 'surprise' to you. You and Walker had been doing the dishes when they came in. "You must be [Y/N]'s man." Your mother regarded him critically while Walker looked at her in confusion. "Excuse me-"
"Jeez [Y/N], you really know how to pick them, don't you?" Your jaw dropped. That was her greeting to you? Seriously? "What is that supposed to mean?" Walker asked defensively. You didn't blame him. "Are you goth or something? You wear way too much black, your freakishly tall, you look like you haven't seen the sun in weeks, and you have scars everywhere! You just scream bad news!"
"I'll have you know I am a father of two-"
"And where are your children now, sir?" You quickly stepped in before things could escalate. "Mom! It's such a surprise to see you! I thought you were overseas?" Your mom grinned. "Mission accomplished, kiddo!"
"Is dad here too...?" You questioned quietly. "He's in the other room." She gestured behind herself with a thumb. You looked wearily at Walker who had crossed his arms, but said nothing. You sighed and followed your mother's gesture.

"Hey [N/N]." Your dad was fiddling with a radio when you entered the living room. "And you must be the boy- are you alright? Those look like some very painful scars, sir. How did you get them?" You looked behind you to see Walker behind you. It was probably for the best, honestly. "I am fine." Walker replied curtly. "You better not be in one of those drug rings." Your mother accused. "Mom, Walker's a scientist. He got those scars in an accident at his lab."
"Right, sure kiddo, whatever you say." Aannnnd she wasn't even listening to you. "Don't mind my wife, she's suspicious of everyone, Walker was it?" Walker hesitated and nodded. Your dad held out a hand for Walker to shake, only to see the hole like scars on his hand. "Oh my- what happened?!"
"An experiment." Walker replied. Your dad hissed. "This had to have been a truly painful experience for you, Walker." Walker merely smiled. "It was. I do not regret it though." You looked at Walker curiously while your dad looked concerned. "I wonder, would you mind taking a psychological evaluation for me?" And just when things were going okish...

"No." Walker replied as he snatched his hand back. "I'm not crazy." Your dad smiled. "That's fair. I cannot force you too. I just want what is best for our little [N/N]. We both do. So you can understand why we are cautious?"
"I can." Walker replied. "I am a father of two sons. But I am not crazy."
"Where are your sons?" Your mother demanded. "My home. I was... separated from them in a freak accident and your daughter is helping me to return to them."
"Riiiiight... what was this "freak accident"?" Your mother quoted. "That's enough! Get off Walker's case, would you?! You've been nothing but accusatory since you got here! He's a good man!" You barked, annoyed with their constant nagging. "Not according to his police report. Assault on an officer?" You snatched the paper away. "Where did you even get that?!"
"You knew and still chose to stay with him? [Y/N], I don't condone this sort of behavior at all."
"I'm not a child! Walker needs me!"
"Don't take that tone with your mother, [Y/N]." Your dad warned. Before you could argue further, you felt arms pull you into someone. "Relax, I'm alright, as are you. Let them say what they wish." How was the usually angry one so... calm?
