"Hey y/n!" You heard your girlfriend yell from somewhere in the hallway. You finished putting your books in your locker and turned around just in time as Harley flung herself onto you, wrapping you in a tight hug.

You and Harley had been friends for almost a year, as you had met at the beginning of your sophomore year in highschool, but you had only been dating for about two months.

"Well hello to you too," you joked, holding her tightly as you spoke.

"I missed you," she said, pulling back a little bit so she could look at you. She had a huge smile on her face and a very mischievous look in her eye.

"Harley, what are you up to?" You asked.

"Nothing!" She said, her voice going up in pitch, and this is how you knew she was lying.

"Mhm, sure," you said sarcastically, grabbing your books for your next class. "You know I'm going to find out eventually, right?" It was true, Harley could never keep something from you for longer than a day or two.

"Anyway," she giggled, trying to change the topic. "Are you free this weekend."

"Hmm, depends on who is asking." You joked, shutting your locker and taking her hand as you began to walk to your next class. "But yeah I should be free." She jumped with excitement as you spoke.

"Well perfect!" She kissed you on the cheek and began walking away.

"Wait! Why?" You called after her, but she just shrugged, continuing to walk away from you as the bell rang.

***time skip***

You walked in your front door, calling out to your mom, but you got no response. As soon as you shut the door, your phone buzzed.

Harley<3: hey, I have a question

You: yeah, what's up?

Harley<3 do you wanna hang out tomorrow

You: ofc I do baby, where?

Harley<3: well i was thinking we could hang at my house...

Her house? You had never been to her house. And in fact she usually didnt want to hang out at her house.

You: yeah of course. But may I ask why the sudden change?

Harley<3: well tbh, I want you to meet my family.

Your heart raced as you read her text. You knew that she had six siblings that were all pretty judgmental of her friends, and you were her girlfriend.

You: I would love to meet them

Harley<3: great, so I'll so you tomorrow

You: yep, what time?

Harley<3: how about noon?

You: see you then ml <3

You set your phone down on your kitchen counter as your anxiety rose in you. It was time to meet the family.

***time skip***

You took a deep breath as you stepped up to Harleys door, your palms sweating as you knocked.

The door immediately opened to reveal two little boys and an even younger girl, the glares on their faces obvious.

"Harley! She is here!" One of the boys yelled, not taking his eyes off of you as he spoke. She immediately came to the door, pushing past the younger kids and wrapping her arms around you in a hug. You immediately melted into her, glad to have a familiar face among all of the glares.

"Guys, this is y/n, my girlfriend." She said, turning to face her siblings but keeping one arm around your body. "And y/n these are my little brothers Lewie and Beast, and my sister Daphne."

"Hi," you said quickly, giving the kids a small wave. But they just continued glaring at you, their eyes watching your every move.

"Guys, be nice." She groaned, grabbing your hand and leading you inside. You began to follow her but you felt a small tug on your sleeve, so you turned around.

Daphne had your shirt in her grasp, and Beast and Lewie were still sending daggers into you with their eyes.

"If you hurt her," Daphne whispered, "we will hurt you." Never in your life had you assumed you would be threatened by small children, but here you were.

"Y/n come on!" Harley said, tugging you away from her little siblings. She dragged you a bit farther into the house, and there you saw who you knew were her older siblings.

"This is my older brother Ethan," she said, pushing you toward the boy. He just gave you a small nod, looking at you the same way the younger kids had. "And my sisters Georgie and Rachel." Georgie excitedly shook your hand.

"It is really nice to meet you! We have heard so much about you!" She smiled, her energy ramping up. It was nice to have at least one of her siblings not look like they wanted to absolutely murder you. Rachel just gave you a wave before returning to her phone.

"Well you must be y/n!" A man said from behind you. You turned around to see Harley's dad, his hand extended for you to shake. You immediately took it, trying to seem as relaxed as possible. "Strong handshake," he smiled, seeming very amused, "that's a good sign."

"Its nice to meet you Mr. Diaz," you said awkwardly, your voice small and weak compared to his booming personality.

"Oh please, call me Tom!" He smiled, dropping your hand. He opened his mouth to talk again, but he was cut off.

"Harley, is this your girlfriend?" Her mother asked, walking into the room. Harley blushed as she looked over at you and then to the floor, muttering a small 'yes' to her mom. "Well you picked a pretty one huh?" She teased, setting her arm around Harleys shoulder.

"Mom!" She groaned, burying her face in her hands, "god you guys are so embarrassing."

"Yes we are, but you love us." She beamed, patting her on the back. "But anyway, it is very nice to meet you, please call me Suzy."

"Its nice to meet you as well." You smiled, placing your hands in your pockets. You turned to see where all of her siblings were, but all of them had dissapeared with no sign that they were ever there.

"Can we go up to my room?" Harley asked, stepping closer to you and grabbing your hand.

"Of course you can, but no funny business." Her dad joked, waving you off. She didnt waste another second before dragging you up the stairs and to her room, the door shutting quickly.

"So, do you like my family?" She asked, flopping on her bed and pulling you with her. You thought for a moment about how to answer that.

"I think they are great," you said, laying next to her on her bed and placing your arm across her, "however I'm not sure your siblings like me very much..."

"They will just take a minute to warm up to you, I promise." She whispered, placing a soft kiss on your lips. You smiled into her, glad to finally be able to be with her in her house.

"Harley!" You heard through her open window, her siblings yelling at her. She disconnected her lips from yours with a groan, standing up and going to the window.

"What?" She yelled back, an annoyed tone in her voice as she leaned outside to see what they wanted.

"We were thinking y/n might want to see the backyard, why dont you come show her?" You heard Ethan ask, a strange tone in his voice. She turned around and looked at you, anticipation in her eyes.

"Do you wanna go see the backyard?" She said tiredly, leaning down on her arms so she was back at your level.

"I might as well," you smiled, standing up from her bed, "I mean, we want them to like me, right?"

"Right." She replied, you started toward her door but then she tugged on your sleeve, pulling you back. She wrapped her arms around your neck and gave you a quick kiss, her lips soft on yours. "Okay, now you can go."

The two of you walked down the stairs and into the yard, but her siblings were no where to be seen.

"Now!" You heard one of them yell, and then suddenly you were being pelted with water balloons from every direction. You heard Harley screaming for her parents, but you were mostly just focused on the freezing cold water that was now covering your entire body.

"Stop!" You heard Tom yell, and the attack on you came to a halt. "What are you guys doing?" He asked, all of Harley's siblings coming out from whatever they were hiding behind. "Y/n is a guest in our home and all you have done is treat her horribly. Come here." All of the kids walked into view, carrying buckets of water balloons with them. They all set their buckets down in front of their dad and then stood there.

"Sorry dad." Georgie said, looking toward the ground.

"Its not me you should be apologizing to." he responded, gesturing to you. You were still just standing there, the only thing between you and your six assailants were the buckets of water balloons.

"Were sorry y/n," Beast said, a guilty look on his face.

"Yeah..." Daphne added. You softened your face a bit, taking a step toward them.

"Its okay," you smiled, your dripping wet hair falling in your face, "however, you did make one mistake." They all turned to you, a look of confusion on their faces. Even Harley was unsure of what you meant.

"You challenged me to a water balloon fight!" You yelled, grabbing a bucket in each hand and ducking behind a bush. They all screamed as you began tossing balloons back at them, Harley and Tom joining you.

And that is how the evening went on, all of you soaking wet and getting along. Meeting the family wasnt too bad after all.
