She patted his hand sweetly and then led him up to the walkway of her childhood home. Several years ago, her parent's talked about selling the place, but she was so glad that they didn't, there were so many wonderful memories in this house. Not bothering with knocking, Kat opened the door and walked inside. The first person she saw was her father, "Daddy!" Mark turned to see his daughter walking toward him, arms out and ready to hug, "hey beautiful!" He fully embraced her and kissed her on the forehead. "Dad, this is Rick, the love of my life." Mark smirked at the sentiment and shook Rick's hand, "please come on in!" They were lead into the kitchen where Kat's mother, Hilary was baking. She stopped in the middle of rolling out dough and beamed at both Kat and Rick, "you're here!" She rounded the counter and hugged her daughter tightly, "oh I've missed you!" Kat hugged her mom right back, "me too!" Hilary pulled away and looked at Rick, "so who's this handsome man?" Kat giggled, "Mom, this is Rick, Rick this is my mother Hilary." Her mom just went straight for a hug instead of a formal handshake.
"Where's Ryan and Jordan?" Kat inquired about her brothers. "Their out back," Mark answered. "Well can you go and get them, we've got some news for the whole family!" Hilary narrowed her gaze at Kat, trying to silently figure out what it could be. After Jordan and Ryan said hello to their sister and then met Rick, it was time to tell everyone. "Rick and I are getting married and soon too because within seven months or so, you'll have your first two grandchildren!" Mark sat with his wife, gaping at their daughter and now their future son-in-law. The silence was painful and Kat got a bad feeling. Jordan and Ryan were the first to break the silence, congratulating the couple and rubbing Kat's belly. Hilary stood up and Kat could see a tear in her eye, "I'm going to be a grandma!" She enthused and hugged both Kat and Rick at the same time. Mark joined along in the sentiment, if his little girl was happy, then so was he.
