It was a few weeks since Hank and Anna started their relationship, things were getting serious between the two. They wanted to wait a bit longer to introduce Anna to Justin and Erin, once they were all comfortable with it they agreed to have dinner.
On a Saturday night Hank and Anna sat in a restaurant waiting on Erin and Justin to arrive, the entire time Anna would smooth out her blue dress. Hank looked over to see how nervous his girlfriend was of meeting his son and surrogate daughter.
"Sweetheart it's gonna be fine, they're gonna love you". Hank says easing the situation.
"I'm just nervous that's all". Anna replies with a small smile.
"There's no reason to be nervous".
A few minutes after that Justin and Erin arrived they were both dressed up. Justin wore a blue dress shirt and dress pants. Erin wore a simple red dress that came to her knees, she wore black heels, her short brown hair was in soft curls and her makeup was light. Hank had seen them coming over as he got up then Anna stood up.
"Justin, Erin, I'd like for you to meet Anna". Hank introduced the three people.
"Nice to meet you". Anna says, shaking their hands.
"It's nice to meet you Anna". Justin said.
"It's very nice to meet you". Erin spoke.
Everyone sat down and ordered their dinner after a moment of silence Erin spoke up.
"So Anna what is it that you do?" Erin asked.
"I work for the FBI". Anna replies proudly.
"What's that like?" Justin asked, sipping a beer.
"It's very rewarding, I get to help take down some of the most dangerous criminals ever. That's all I've ever wanted to do was help make the world a better place for everyone".
"That's the reason why I became a cop to help the people of my city and to protect my family". Hank said looking at his son and surrogate daughter.
They all ate their dinner quietly Hank then excused himself so he could use the bathroom Anna then got nervous as she was left with Justin and Erin.
"Anna while we have a quick minute I wanna say thank you". Justin said.
"May I ask what for". Anna replies a bit confused.
"My dad hasn't been happy in years since my mom passed away besides Erin and I you are the only person who made him happy again truly happy. For that I wanna say thank you".
"Justin's right, when he's with you he's the happiest person ever. We haven't seen him like that in years". Erin says.
"I promise I won't ever hurt him".
"We believe you".
After Hank had came back they finished their dinner and headed out Erin went back to her apartment, Justin returned home, and Hank had taken Anna home. The couple arrived outside Anna's home.
"I had a great time tonight Hank, meeting Justin and Erin was amazing. I'm glad that they accept me". Anna said.
"I am too". Hank replies with a smile.
"Hank I...I was wondering if maybe you stay the night with me".
"Of course".
The two head inside Anna headed for the kitchen and grabbed two beers from the fridge. Hank accepted the beer and the two began drinking them.
"So I was thinking next time you could meet my brother and sister". Anna said after sipping her beer.
"I'd like that". Hank replied.
After a while of talking Anna and Hank were sitting on the couch, Anna leaned in and kissed Hank and he kissed her back. The kiss was deepened by Hank as he laid Anna down on the couch after a moment Hank pulled away.
"Anna are you sure?" Hank asked breathlessly.
"Yes". She replied, kissing him back.
They then went upstairs and made love. An hour later they were lying in bed tangled in each other's arms, Anna laid her head on Hank's bare chest.
"Hank I….I love you". Anna said.
"I love you too Anna". Hank says.
Even though it's been a few weeks they were in love with each other, they would die for each other. Fight for each other. Protect each other. Hank looked down at his sleeping girlfriend and smiled he'd love and cherish her forever.
