Meet The In-Laws

Tonight I went with The Knight to visit his twin brother and family. This was the first "family" function on The Knight's side. It was a very informal gathering. Just the brothers and their girls. I had fun. It still amazes me that these two boys that I knew in high school are now grown men with kids. The brother's wife is very nice. She was a student of The Step-Queen's once a upon a time. What a small world it really is. We ate burgers and talked about random things. I taught the brother's 6 year-old how to tie her shoe. She's a sweet little girl. You can definitely tell she's The Princess-in-Waiting's cousin. They have very similar personalities and mannerisms. It will be interesting to see how The Heir and Spare blend into the family. I hope The Knight's parents are as accepting as his brother. Of course, it helps that we knew each other in high school. It's not like I'm a complete stranger or anything. I'm looking forward to becoming good friends with the future sister-in-law. It will be nice to have someone other than my own sister to do things with. Another step towards the start of a wonderful relationship. Next up, The Princess-in-Waiting. Her reaction is the one that worries me the most. I pray every day she'll be happy about the new additions to her father's life. I harbor a deep fear that her disapproval could be the end to everything I've worked for these last 5 months. My stomach is tied up in knots over it.
