Confessions of An Ice Girl

I sat on James' couch and nervously tapped my foot. His parents would be there soon. "You okay, Abby?" James asked

I nodded "I'm just nervous."

"It'll be okay." James said kissing me

I kissed him back "Okay. I hope they like me..."

"They will." He assured me, giving me a hug. "I know they will."

"Are we going to tell them I'm pregnant?"

"Not yet. We should probably wait to tell people that."

I nodded "You're right."

James smiled "don't be nervous Abby. My mom and dad will like you. So will Rebecca and I'm sure when you get to meet the boys, they'll like you too." Just then the doorbell rang, "you ready?"

I nodded "yeah."

James opened the door and smiled "hi mom!" He said hugging a blonde woman

"Hi sweetie!" She said hugging him back

"Hey, dad."

"Hey son." His father said. James looked a lot like his father. They had the same smile.

"Where is he? Let me in." A cute blonde girl said pushing past Mr. and Mrs. Neal and screaming. She threw her arms around James and he picked her up into a big hug "I missed you, J!!"

James laughed "I missed you too, Becks."

She smiled as James put her back down and turned towards me "Oh. Hello. James, who is your friend?"

"Sorry. Mom, dad, Rebecca...this is Abby. My girlfriend." James replied smiling at me

"Nice meeting you all." I smiled

"Well it's nice meeting you too, sweetie." Mrs Neal said hugging me "how did you and James meet?"

James and I both shot each other a look, "uh...Abby is friends with Paulie."

I smiled "yeah. I know Paul."

"That's great."

Rebecca gave us both a strange look but then smiled "well it's nice to meet you."

"I ordered pizza for dinner." James said "it should be here soon."

"Sounds good, son." His dad said

"We can sit in the living room till it gets here and catch up." James smiled leading us to the living room.

Dinner went good. His parents were really nice. They told stories about James playing hockey as a kids. "Do you think they liked me?" I asked James as I helped him clean out some dishes

James nodded "yeah. I think so."

I smiled "what about your sister?"

"Becks? You never know with Rebecca. She's a lot like I am. So if she gave you any stern looks, that's just how she is."

"Okay." I nodded "I thought she might have known I was an ice girl."

"No. No. It's one of the brothers recognizing you as an ice girl that you'll have to worry about." James laughed. I gave him a look and he stopped "I was kidding, Abby."

"I just don't want them to think..."

"They won't think that about you. My parents aren't judgmental. They're very accepting."

"Okay." I smiled helping him finish up the dishes "I should probably head home. I have an appointment in the morning and you have practice."

"Okay." James smiled

I kissed him "call me tomorrow?"

He nodded "yeah, I will."

"I'll text you when I get home."

"Okay, Abby."

"Bye, James."

"Bye."
