Christine Grey hummed to herself as she drove her and her six year old son, Charlie, towards the airport. The radio was playing one of his favourites, though he'd never admit it was, as he squirmed in his seat.
"So, why the big family reunion Mum? I thought you and uncle Chris didn't get on?"
"It's complicated sweet pea, my mum and dad wanna meet you, your uncle Chris and his brood were looking for somewhere to vaycay, your Aunt Mia loves to travel so naturally tagged on, and your other uncle and his lot... Well, from what I heard he and his Mrs aren't all happily ever after."
"Ah, fair enough... Will I recognise any of em? I mean, I know you and my uncles are adopted so..."
"Well... You've seen the photo's, other than that I dunno..."

"Helpful Mum." the boy stated brushing his hair away from his eyes both so much like his father's (not that he'd know it) "What if, what if they don't like me? What if...what if we don't get along?"
Charlie wasn't normally one for doubting himself but there was a reason his mother had 'left' the family and why in all of his years he had never before meet any of the Grey clan and therefore, his nerves were slowly starting to get the better of him.
"Photo's only tell so much, despite what people say about them and...were are we meeting them again?"

"Hey, I'm always helpful..." She looked at him concerned in the mirror. "I understand baby boy, but they will... My mothers never met a kid she didn't get along with, she'll adore you, so will my dad.... As for your uncles, they have kids just a bit younger than you, so why wouldn't they like you? You're an angel, and such a sweet little man," she said as they drove into the airport car-park, "we're picking them up little man, hence why I'm driving this big thing

For a minute or two Charlie thought about his mother answer before something hit him.
You didn't say anything about the younger kids Mum. The adults might like me, gran, gramps, uncles and aunt but what about the kids? I take it WE'LL be spending a lot of time together. They all know each other and I...I'm the odd one out, just like Aunt Em was and we haven't heard from her in years..." which raised another question. "What if THAT topic comes up, what do I say to Uncle Elliot then?"

She parked up, looking at him, sighing as she thought over how to answer him "When it comes to your cousins... Well, you've got your friends here, this is YOUR territory. So what YOU say, technically goes... As for Emma... The truth, she stayed with a while, then decided to leave and we don't know where she went after that

"With that reasoning one would say that since I'm the oldest what I say goes but...let's face it Mum not even YOU listened to your brother or sister from what I remember of the stories you told me it was something that Uncle Christine didn't like very much or you following him around all the time and what if THAT happens. I like my alone time just like you told me uncle Christine AND Aunt Em did plus you already told me that she left, what I meant was...do we tell Uncle Elliot about her or even bring her up?"

"Charlie... I don't know, alright, I don't know how this is going to go or what their kids are like... Just know that, even if their kids are little stuck up rats, you've got me and your friends here for you... As for Emma, definately see how that goes... Now come on, we've gotta greet them at the arrivals exit

Sighing Charlie got out of the car not liking the mood he had now put his mother in or the mood that he himself was in. Worry plagued him, he wasn't used to having a family, for ever since he could remember it had just been he and his mother and now...friends came and went but family...well, you couldn't pick your family as the saying went...though...maybe in this case you could after all the first batch of Grey children HAD all been adopted.
Shaking his head Charlie fell into steep beside his mother as they weaved through the crowd.

She put her hand on his shoulder, squeezing gently "They will love you baba," she said softly, kissing his cheek, "and if they don't, screw em..."
Christian Grey sighed heavily as he led his family through to pick up their luggage. He couldn't remember what had possessed him to agree to come out to see his sister, yet here he was, with his wife and kids, his brother and his wife and daughter, their parents as well as Mia.

At hearing this Charlie only nodded but inwardly he wanted them all to like him for secretly he had always wondered what having a big family would be like and worried what would happen to him if something ever happened to HIS mother like it had for his youngest uncle. He didn't know the full details of what had happened there but the brief information that his mother had sheared with him about his uncles past did sometimes course him nightmares.
"Is that them, oh...is that them? Christine, Christine darling?" Mia's voice rang out throughout the lines as they finally cleared the checkout gates. "Oh sister...come out come out. I know you're here somewhere. You DID say she was coming to pick us up didn't you Mum?"

Christine looked around the room section, eyebrow raised as she spotted her sister, still bouncing around like spring heeled Jack. "I did tell you that your aunts kinda mental, right?" SHe said to her son, smirking at him
"Yes dear, they are coming to meet us..." She said, her eyes meeting with her daughters, "and there she is, that must be Charlie, such a handsome little boy,"

"Finally" Mia breathed running toward them arms out before pulling her sister into a tight hug "You bad girl, you've been away far to long. I have half a mind not to give you any of the treats we brought"
Laugher couldn't help but be heared from coming beside her.
"She's not a dog Mia." Elliot's voice sounded "Are you? I mean you could get her to check if your noise is wet."

She narrowed her eyes at him, sticking her tongue out at him "I know I can be a bitch, but that's about it," she said, as she hugged her sister back, going to Elliot she hugged him tight, "I've missed you, jack ass, so much..."
"And this must be Charlie," Mia said, cuddling her nephew close, kissing his cheek, "oh he is so definitely yours Chrissy, the poutie lips, pixie nose... But those eyes and hair... Could pass for Chris's,"

"Mia please stop with the jokes already." Christian sighed as he finally court a look at the small boy beside his sister. There was something about the way his eyes and hair looked that reminded him of his own but...surly that was just some strange twist of fate. "Besides, I think he looks more like his mother then anyone else, right Chris?"

"I'd certainly hope so," she said, kissing her sons cheek, "Charlie, this is your Aunt Mia, Jack ass is your Uncle Elliot, and Mr Misery is your Uncle Christian," she said, smirking at each one as she introduced them.
"Hello..." Charlie said, smiling slightly, still deeply nervous and worried about how they were going to react to him. His aunt had already embraced him and ksised him, but from what he had been told that was just who she was,
