"You know, since you kids got married, I feel like we hardly ever see you anymore," Mrs. Prossa complained as they sat down to dinner.
"I know, mom," Alex said. "We've just been really busy with the house, Rio, and the store."
Mrs. Prossa smiled at her son. "Oh, I know. I just miss you."
"Mrs. Prossa, I'll make sure that Alex visits you more often," Freya promised. Then, she turned to Alex and reprimanded him, "You really have to visit your mother more!"
"Okay. Okay. I will," Alex answered.
"Your father gets to see you at work all the time..."
"I will," Alex repeated.
"And I'll make sure that he does!" Freya confirmed to her mother-in-law.
"So, how is the house?" Mr. Prossa asked.
"Great," Alex said as he spooned some homemade mac and cheese into his mouth. "This is delicious, mom."
"Thank you," Mrs. Prossa answered, "Don't talk with your mouth full." Then to Freya, she asked, "Is the house starting to feel like a home? I know that it can take a while to
really
settle in. To really make it your own."
"It's getting there," Freya smiled. "And having Cyn and Katie right upstairs is great."
"I can imagine," Mrs. Prossa agreed. "They're such nice girls."
Then Freya looked at Alex and Alex immediately recognized that look. He tried to give her a "whatever you're going to do, do not do it!" look back without raising any suspicion from his parents sitting less than three feet away, but apparently failed -- or more likely, his begging look simply went unheeded by his wife.
"And they are
definitely
keeping us busy!" She exclaimed with a huge cheery smile.
Mrs. Prossa cocked her head a little to the side. "How so?"
"Believe it or not, they're still unpacking. Katie had a lot of stuff still at her parents' house..." Freya told her.
"Well, that does take time," Mrs. Prossa said as she started to cut her roast pork.
Freya smiled at her mother-in-law. "We've been helping them -- well, mostly me. The most Alex has done so far," she lightly tapped Alex's foot under the table and Alex held his breath recognizing that tap as she continued, "The most he's done is tear up a couple of their empty boxes."
Alex gave Freya another warning look. This also went unheeded, as Freya added, "But they've been
very
appreciative. They gave him some of their homemade pie."
"Oh, that's so thoughtful of them," Mrs. Prossa commented.
At the mention of pie, Mr. Prossa was suddenly a lot more interested in the conversation. "What kind of pie was it?"
"Cherry," Freya answered.
Alex was mortified. How much longer could this go on?
"It looked so good, that I snatched some up, myself," Freya declared, adding a little extra emphasis on the word "snatched."
"Hey, dad," Alex interrupted, having had way more than enough out of his wife, "I was thinking about making some room at the front of the store for a dedicated monthly display section. You know, seasonal items, but monthly rather than just a few times a year. And maybe have those items as sale items each month."
Freya looked at him like the spoilsport that he was.
"Hmm," Mr. Prossa replied. "Let's talk about that next week and see what ideas we can come up with. I've been thinking of ways to liven up the store a little. As the times change, the old place is starting to seem a little old-fashioned."
Mrs. Prossa held up her hands. "Boys, let's not talk about work. Actually, your father and I had an ulterior motive for asking you kids over for dinner."
Alex and Freya looked at them both across the table smiling in unison.
"With all of the work that you've been doing, Alex," Mr. Prossa started.
"And everything that you've been doing, too, Freya," Mrs. Prossa interjected. "Finishing up school, taking care of Alex and everything else..."
"Of course. Yes. Both of you." Mr. Prossa smiled warmly at Freya. "We'd like to pay for a small vacation for you both."
"Oh!" Freya exclaimed.
Mr. Prossa quickly added, "Nothing extravagant. Just a little get-away for a few days."
"You kids deserve some time alone," Mrs. Prossa said, looking at Freya with an unusual twinkle in her eye. "Just the two of you."
Patting his wife's hand and giving her a somewhat stern look, Mr. Prossa said, "Okay, hon."
Freya and Alex shot each other a quick, inquisitive look, but Mrs. Prossa continued. "Go someplace nice. Someplace warm. And quiet and private." Then she repeated, "Just the two of you."
At this, her husband gave her another look and she took the hint. She stood up and started clearing the table. Freya stood up and helped.
After dessert, Alex and Freya thanked them for dinner
and
the vacation gift and hugged them both goodnight.
Mr. Prossa watched them walk down to their car, then closed the door and turned to his wife. "You need to calm down."
"What? Am I wrong to feel this way?"
"No," Mr. Prossa begrudgingly conceded. "But still. They'll have children if and when they're ready to."
"If," Mrs. Prossa scoffed. "I want a grandchild. I want
grandchildren
."
