"So How Is The Mother?" Tina Asked. They Were Setting Up The Table Getting Ready For Shawn's Family To Arrive. Tina Was Beyond Nervous, She Wasn't Sure How Gloria Was Going To Perceive Her. Shawn Could've Told Gloria How Nasty Tina And Matthew Had Been To Him Over The Year. Just Like Any Mother, Tina Believed That Gloria Would Give Her The Same Attitude As She Did To Shawn.
"Shawn's?" Beyoncé Asked Looking At Her Mother Confused.
"Yeah, What's She Like?"
"She Was Very Rude To Me At First But After We Sat Down Hashed Things Out...Our Relationship Has Gotten Better" Beyoncé Smiled Weakly. It Was Crazy How Close They've Gotten Since Then.
"Hm" Tina Said As Shawn Entered The Dinning Room Looking At The Table Setting.
"It Looks Good Babe" He Complimented.
"Thank You" Beyoncé Smiled As He Made His Way Over To Her, Hugging The Woman He Loved From Behind With His Hand Over Her Stomach. Beyoncé Leaned Up Giving Him A Quick Peck Before Rubbing Her Lipstick Stain From His Lips.
"You Ready?" She Whispered. This Was A Dinner That Could Go Left In Minutes. It Could Also Be A Dinner That Could Turn Out To Be Better Than Expected.
"Let's Do This" He Whispered Back Looking Into Her Eyes.
Tina Cleared Her Throat Breaking Their Gaze They Had On Each Other. "Uh Thanks For This Tina...Greatly Appreciated" Shawn Said.
The Doorbell Ranged Indicating That The Family Had Arrived. "I Can't Wait To See My Babies" Beyoncé Gushed. She Had Actually Grew A Liking To The Entire Carter Kid Clan. Tiffany Was Always Her Favorite But Now That All The Kids Were More Familiar With Beyoncé Things Were Much Better With Them.
Shawn Grabbed His Woman Hands Leading The Way To The Door. Solange And Julez Made Their Way Downstairs Knowing It Was Time To Come All Together For This Christmas Eve Dinner. While Matthew Walked From The Living Room Awaiting The Reveal Of The Family He Used To Know Too Well When He Was Growing Up.
Shawn Opened The Door Getting Smiles From Everyone. The Kids Jumping Up And Down Embracing Beyoncé In A Heartfelt Hug.
"Much Smaller Than I Expected Shawn" Gloria Complained Looking Around The Modern Decorum.
"You Know I Like Small And Modest" Beyoncé Said Before Giving Her Future Mother-In-Law A Hug.
"And I've Been Trying To Get You Out Of That Mentality For Months!" Gloria Said As They Both Laughed.
"It's Cute" Chantel, Shawn's Sister Said Looking Around. It Wasn't Her Type Of House But That Was Only Because She Was Used To Bigger Things In Life.
"It Looks Like Our Guest House In Maui" Emily, Shawn's Sister-In-Law Announced.
"What Works For Me Might Not Work For You" Beyoncé Faked Smiled At The White Woman That She Never Liked Since Day One. Always Acting As If She Was Born Into Royalty When She Was Far From It.
Emily Smiled "Your Absolutely Right About That"
"Where's Dad? Jerod?" Shawn Asked.
"You Know Why Dad Isn't Here" Nelson, Shawn's Brother Said Tapping His Shoulder.
"Jerod Had To Work" Chantel Lied.
"I Told Dad It Was Important For Him To Be Here Tonight" Shawn Said Trying Not To Get Upset. He Wanted So Desperately To Have A Better Relationship With His Father. He Felt As Though He Wasn't Going To Be The Best Father To His Own Child Just Because He Was Never Taught How To Be A Good One.
