Pre-A/N: hey guys. Still waiting on the ship names! But let me give you guys a new post for the fun of it!

Emma's POV

I look at Darcy, who is next to me. He sticks his tongue out at me and I shake my head in disgust. I don't even know how we ended up in the same gene pool. Darcy I guess could be nice to be around sometimes, but most of the time he can be an annoying brother...

"OK fine... I'll leave you alone sis."

"Finally...." I mutter.

I put on my jacket and exit the house, holding my skating bag. I decide that I'm going to go to the free skating today at the rink, to you know, relieve stress. Not that I'm that stressed. Sometimes its just fun to skate around.

Once I'm on the ice I realize that cassidy should be arriving here soon for her Chicks with Sticks session today. I glance at the benches, what do you know, I see Cassidy lacing up her skates. She skates over to me and we chase each other around the rink a little.

Free skating finishes quickly and I turn to leave to head home.

Outside in the parking lot, I'm about to cross the street when somebody stops me by putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Hey Em." The deep voice says.

I turn around and see Stewart there, eyes shining bright.

"Hi Stewart! What's up?"

"Nothing much. I was in the building of the rink to sharpen my blades. But I have to ask you a favor?"

"Yeah sure!"

"My family is going to fly to Montreal, Quebec this Christmas to visit my grandparents on my dad's side. I was wondering if you could come join us... My grandmother said she would love to meet my girlfriend."

I'm taken back a bit. Fly to Quebec for Christmas? Hold on. Where is Quebec?

"Where's Quebec?" I ask.

"In Canada."

"Um... OK..."

"So what do you say?"

"Um... Sure I guess I can come with you if your grandmother is that excited to meet me..."

"Great! I'm so excited! I'll call you later with more information alright? I gotta go now... Bye!"

And he leaves.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Did I make a mistake in telling Stewart I'd come with his family to Montreal? Maybe. I can't tell yet. Right now I'm sitting in between Stewart and his sister Becca. Its been a good flight so far, and Stewart and Becca are busy describing to me Montreal since I clearly haven't been there before.

"Its awesome!" Becca says. "You should taste their bagels!"

"Yeah, and also their smoked meat sandwiches!" Her brother adds.

I can tell they're super excited about this trip. This makes me happy.

Once we had landed, we head into the bustling airport in search for Mr. and Mrs. Chadwick (the parents of Mr Chadwick).

"They said they made us a pretty banner," says Mrs. Chadwick. "At least Alisia did."

Finally we see them and we join them and their banner that says "welcome, chadwicks and 1 Hawthorne!"

I shake hands with Stewarts grandparents.

"Hi Mr and Mrs Chadwick."

Stewarts grandmother looks at me and smiles. "Emma dear, please call me Alisia. And call my husband here Rick."

Stewarts whispers in my ear, "grandma is Italian. Grandpa was born in america but moved to Canada some years ago."

"Got it." I whisper back.

Rick drives us in his van back to his house, where we will be staying for our visit. I am going to be sharing a room with Becca, and Stewart will get a different spare room.

At the welcome dinner that night, we are eating lasagna. I don't really eat it that often, but this one was pretty good. I guess Stewarts grandmother knows her family's recipe...

After supper, we gather in the living room and that's when Mr Chadwick's brothers and sisters arrive at the house. Everyone is happy, and this gives me the same feeling.

But what happens after when Mrs. Alisia talks to me really pisses me off...

A/N: yup. I know what you're thinking. So much for a one shot! Its just that I really want to update quickly for you guys and I'd rather split the story in two than have you guys wait. So I really hope you guys are okay with this.

So part two is coming soon, hopefully tomorrow but I do have a bunch of projects due this week, so fingers crossed!

I am so happy that I got 3 reads yesterday for only that small one shot! You guys are amazing!

Thx
