Dayna and Louis travelled to Scotland to have late Christmas celebrations with Dayna's family. They have a big, sort of, family get together and Louis is introduced to Dayna's family for the first time.
Coming up on the plane, Louis was really nervous about meeting Dayna's family. She had never met his and a few days after being in Scotland, Dayna would be meeting his family, so Dayna was equally as nervous.
When the plane landed, Dayna and Louis left and collected their luggage from the conveyor. Then they came down the escalator and Dayna caught a glimpse of her mum. Dayna ran and hugged her tightly. "Oh it's so good to see you mum" Dayna smiled.
"It's great to see you too honey" Dayna's mum smiled back. Louis walked over with a smile. "Mum this is Louis, Louis, this is my mum Sharon" Dayna introduced them. "It's a pleasure" Louis grinned. "You too Louis" Sharon said. Sharon drove Dayna and Louis to Dayna's old house.
Dayna took Louis upstairs. "I want to see my old little room again" Dayna smiled. Louis grinned and he followed Dayna into her small room. It was exactly the same as she left it. The old duvet and pillow sitting on the bare bed, the empty drawers and wardrobes. "I remember, I used to hate my wardrobe as the drawer on the bottom of it was jammed and I could never get it open" Dayna said pointing to the drawer.
"How long did you stay in this room for?" Louis asked sitting down on Dayna's bed. "I slept in this room until I moved out when I was 18. Kinda stupid staying in a girly room for 18 years but this room is full of my dreams" Dayna smiled. She and Louis sat back on the bed, against the wall, looking about.
"Did you always dream of living in London?" Louis asked, out of curiosity. Dayna nodded. "I did when I was about 10. But I moved to London and then I met you by chance" Dayna smiled, clinging to Louis. Eventually Sharon called. "Come on, Dayna! Come on Louis! We've got to go!". "Where?" Louis asked. Dayna shrugged. "Don't know" Dayna confessed.
Dayna, Louis and Sharon got in the car and set off. Soon they were on the motorway. "I bet you we're going to see my cousins in Newton Mearns" Dayna said sitting back. "Yep, we are" Sharon smiled. During the journey, Dayna did lots of jokes. "Mum?" Dayna asked. "Yeah?" Sharon asked back.
"Are we there yet?"
"No Dayna, we're not"
"Are we there now?"
"No Dayna, we're not"
"How about now?"
Sharon finally gave in. "Yes Dayna! Yes, ok we're there" Sharon sighed. "Liar!" Dayna squeaked laughing. It was good laugh in the car until Dayna and Louis arrived at Newton Mearns. When they arrived, to their surprise, all the family were there. Dayna ran and hugged her cousins, Sean and Jude.
Then everyone headed out to the garden to sit on the patio while Louis, Dayna and her two cousins played a game of football. Dayna and Louis against the cousins.
Then at 9pm, Dayna and Louis headed back to Dayna's house and got to sleep early as they had a busy day the next day.
The next day, Dayna and Louis took the train to Doncaster. Today Dayna would meet Louis's family. On the train Louis could tell Dayna was kinda nervous and then he said "Hey Day-day, they will LOVE you, I promise you". "Yeah but Louis if they don't" Dayna asked. Louis grinned. "Then they're crazy" Louis laughed. Dayna smiled and giggled. That eased her a bit.
Louis and Dayna got off the train and they walked to Louis's old house. Louis took my hand and I squeezed it. Before Dayna knew it, they were there. They walked up to the door and Louis knocked it. Eventually a woman who looked about early 40s answered it.
"Hey Lou" she said pulling him into a huge hug. Once she let go, she looked at Dayna and smiled. "And you must be Dayna". "Yeah that's me". Louis's mum is called Johannah but says we can call her Jo.
Louis and Dayna went in and sat on the couch. Louis's sisters Lottie and Felicite (or Fizzy) sat next to Johannah and Louis's twin sisters, Daisy and Phoebe sat on the other couch. "Mum and younglings, this is my girlfriend, Dayna. Day, meet the family" Louis said. "Hey" Dayna said, cracking a grin. "Oh Lou, she's perfect" Johannah beamed. Dayna blushed. "Thanks", she smiled.
"I mean she's stunning! And the way she dresses and I'm sure she is a lovely girl but Louis, you've got the perfect girl" Johannah grinned. Louis laughed and introduced Dayna to his sisters. Dayna and Lottie became friends immediately. Daisy, Phoebe and Felicite went upstairs while Louis and Johannah went into the kitchen and Dayna and Lottie sat on the couch and got to know each other better.
Eventually Louis took Dayna upstairs. "This is my old room in the house" Louis said as he pushed open the door. The room was quite small and it had several boxes in it for storage. Some of Louis's old furniture was still there. He and Dayna looked about. Louis gasped. "Look my old football trophy". Dayna and Louis looked at it. "Under 14s most improved player trophy" Louis scoffed.
Dayna smiled and rolled her eyes. "That means: You weren't good last season. You weren't good this season but you were a bit better" Louis said proudly. "What was your old room like?" Dayna asked. "Well, I remember I had a massive bed here" Louis pointed to where the bed was. "And you could hardly fit in anything else. It was literally a BEDroom" Louis joked.
After a day in Doncaster, Louis and Dayna headed back home to London.
