— Alexi POV —
"I don't know if this is a bad idea or a good one," I told my wife as I held her hand.
"It's family lunch, a very small and toned down family lunch," Lilith said as she did her best to assure me.
I closed my eyes and nodded.
It was a small lunch, just the grandparents and our closest cousins.
Our parents weren't invited.
To be honest I didn't understand why Grandpa let my parents stay despite what they had done.
And while I knew I had the power to send them away, I didn't want to deal with that.
"Will we tell them?" Lilith asked me.
"About which?" I asked my wife. "There are a lot of things we have to tell our family."
"Maybe we should start with the family name change?" she asked. "That will be the tougher battle."
I kissed the top of her head and nodded.
"I'll follow your lead," I assured her.
