Rhiannon's POV

"Hey Mom." I said as I came down the stairs.

"Morning Rhiannon. Sophie and Georgia are coming around in a bit as well as Marcel, Leeroy, Harvey and all the parents. We need to have a word with you all." She said as she placed a cup of tea in front of me on the kitchen table.

"Really! Harvey's coming over?" I said getting excited. Harvey's been my boyfriend for the past six months, but none of our parents really know. My mum gave me a look of disapproval and I stopped immediately. "I mean... Oh, wow. Okay. What time are they arriving?" I asked as I took a sip of the hot tea.

"One O' clock or earlier. I want you dressed respectable for this occasion. So, go and make a move on." She said pointing to the stairs.

"Fine." I said as I got up and made my way to the stairs, not bothering to answer back.

"Get your sister up too. I need to pick her outfit." My mum called after me.

As I got up the top of the stairs, I heard my phone ring. I ran to my room and quickly picked it up. It was Harvey.

"Harvey!" I squealed.

"Hey princess."

"My mom said your coming around with the boys and your parents. Do you know what for?" I asked

"No. Sorry babe. Listen, I think it's time we tell them about us. That is if we want they're blessing." He said.

I let out a sigh. "Okay. I gotta go. Mom's going to kill me if I don't get a head start now for when you arrive. I've got to get my outfit ready, my hair, make-up..." I said trailing off.

"Why don't you wear the pretty pink one. Y'know, my favourite one." He said.

"Yeah! Good idea. Well, see you soon." I said.

"Love you Rhi." Harvey said just before I was about to hang up.

"Love you too baby. See you soon. Bye." I said hanging up this time.

I set my phone on my bed and walked over to my wardrobe. I searched through it, trying to find the dress. I only ever wear dresses at special occasions. When I found it I pulled it out and found the pink dolly shoes that matched it. I got a pink flower head band and set it on my bed along with the dress. I got my curling tongs out from my styling box and plugged them in, waiting for them to heat up. I made my way across the hall to my sisters room and let myself
in.

"Carys?" I asked sheepishly and shook her slightly. "Mom wants you downstairs. We have guests coming very soon." I said. When she didn't show any signs of getting up, I thought of the best thing I could think of. "The special guests are One Direction! And they're here to see you! Especially Louis!" I lied. When I did she threw her quilt off the bed and ran out of her room. For a five year old, she sure can run. I laughed silently to myself and headed back to my own room.

I sat down in front of my mirror and grabbed my tongs and started curling my hair.

~ 49 minutes later ~

"Rhiannon?" I heard my mum ask from the other side of the door.

"Come in, mom." I said as I finished the last ringlets.

"How's it coming along?" She asked as she sat on my bed, avoiding my outfit.

"Good. All I gotta do now is my make-up and I'm done." I said, turning my tongs off on the mains.

"Well, everyone's arriving in a hour or so." She said getting up to leave. "I'll be back in a bit. I've got to help your sister get ready. Oh, and your fathers downstairs waiting for you." She added. When she said my dad was down stairs, I nearly had half a mind to run out of the room to see him.

"Finish up here first. Then you can see him." She said as she closed my door.

I grabbed my phone and took to Twitter. "You guys are never going to believe it... But my dads back from Afghanistan! #RoyalNavy." I tweeted.

My dad works for the Royal Navy and has been fighting in honour of the UK for the last three years. And I've only seen him twice in those three long years, so its going to be really weird seeing him now.

I grabbed my make-up bag and got everything I needed out. Within 10 minutes I was good to go. I put my pink, knee length dress on along with the shoes and hair band and took some selfies on my phone. After sending them to twitter I called my mum just to make sure I had her approval.

"You look stunning Rhi. Now you may go and see your father." My mom said as she stood aside as I ran out of my room, down the stairs and into the living room. There on the couch was my dad in his tuxedo with his numerous pins that he's been awarded with over the last three years.

"Dad!" I screamed. He stood up and I ran to him. He picked me up and spun me around, just like when I was little. He chuckled and set me down.

"Well, look at you! My, have you grown." He said measuring me against him.

"Dad..." I said punching his shoulder lightly.

"Only saying!" He said casually. "So? How were your A Levels then? Did you pass?" He asked. I made my way to the kitchen, with my dad at my heels. I pointed at the result sheet that my mother had framed, that was now hanging on our kitchen wall, next to my prom photo with Harvey. "You got straight A's! Well done baby girl."

"Thanks dad."

"Yes. She was very pleased when she got her results and I couldn't help but frame it for everyone to see. So I put it up there, right next to her prom photo." My mom said, waking in the kitchen. My dad made his was over to her and gave her a quick kiss.

"I'm still gutted that I couldn't see you off to your prom Rhi. But you look as beautiful as ever in that picture." Dad said pointing to my dress. I wore a black and white one with a pattern on it.

"Thanks Dad." I said. I heard a knock on the door and looked to my mother. "Should I?" I asked her. She shook her head 'no'.

"No, your fine dear. Get your sister and wait in the living room." She said walking away.

"I'll be back in a minute dad." I said. I walked up the stairs and found Carys playing with my One Direction dolls. Just because I'm 18, I'm still a fan.

"Carys, daddy's home." I said. She chucked the dolls and scrambled to her feet. I noticed she wasn't wearing her shoes so I found a pair of black little ones that dad had bough her last year. I picked her up and sat her on her bed. After sticking her shoes on, I gathered my dolls and made my way to my room. I sat her on my bed and stuck my dolls away.

"Louis..." Her little voice said.

"What?" I asked.

"Louis." She replied pointing to the One Direction wall mural behind my bed.

"Oh. Yeah. What's all they're names?" I asked her.

She thought for a moment. "Louis... Liam... Zayn... Nail and Arry." She said. I gave a laugh to her.

"Good try. Repeat after me okay?" I asked. She nodded her head, her little brown curls bouncing up and down. "Louis. Liam. Zayn. Niall and Harry." I said clearly to her.

"Louis... Liam... Zayn... Niall... Arry." She said. Well at least she had four out of five right.

"Good try baby girl. Want a quick photo before we see daddy?" I asked. Her eyes glimmered with excitement when I said 'photo'. She's like a little poser when it comes to photos. She love the attention of it.

I picked her up and set her on my hip and grabbed my phone and started the count down.

"Three." I started.

"Two." Carys said, getting ready to smile.

"One. And cheese!" I said as I pressed the shutter on my phone.

I heard someone clear their throat from behind me. I looked around to see who it was. It was my mum and Harvey. I tried not to get excited like earlier today.

"Downstairs now!" Mom commanded me.

"Actually... Is it okay if I can have a photo with Rhiannon and Carys, Mrs Griffiths?" Harvey asked my mom. She nodded her head and I handed her my phone. Harvey made his way over to me and Carys and stood on my free side. He wrapped an arm around my waist pulling me closer to him.

"One, two and three." My mum said. "Right. Let's get down stairs. Everyone's here now." She said as she handed me my phone and walked out of the room.

"Don't you look cute, eh?" Harvey asked Carys as he pointed to her flowery dress that I bought her. "And don't you look fit?" He said turning to me.

"Shut up Harvey. C'mon let's go." I said waking out of my room with Harvey trailing behind me. When we reached the living room Sophie and her parents were there, Georgia and her folks and so was Harvey, Leeroy and Marcel's parents.

"Princess!" My dad said as he walked over to me and Carys. She held her arms out for him. He took a hold of her for me.

"So, mom. What's the big occasion?" I asked as she made her was over to stand with dad and Carys.

"Well, we've been talking and we think its time you all got married." She said. Me, Harvey and the others started shouting things like 'we haven't even got girlfriends or boyfriends' or
"we're not even in a relationship' and 'how can you say that?'

"Right! That's enough!" My dad shouted. "Listen, you don't have a say in this. End off."

I furrowed my eyebrows together. "Wait, so this is arranged?" I asked.

"Yes." All the parents said.

"So you wants us to have arranged marriages?" I asked.

"Yes." They replied again.

"You can't do that! Its totally unfair!" I whined.

"Enough is enough! You ARE doing this. You are getting married. Wither you like it or not."
Marcel's dad interrupted.

"Fine. Who are we getting married to then?" I asked since I'm the only kid who's not afraid of my parents.

"Rhi and Harvey. Georgia and Leeroy and Sophie and Marcel." My mother said pleased.

I turned to face Harvey to see he was shocked but happy at the same time. I can't believe it!!!
