Meet the Parents - for @teenpeter (twitter 'verse)

Kitty paced nervous in her room while she waited for Peter to arrive.  She could hear the football game on the tv in the living room, and the sounds of her foster father cheering along.  She'd though about offering to help her foster mom, Carol, make dinner, but had realized that not only did she not know how to cook anything, but she was so nervous she was likely to drop anything she picked up.

"I've got it!" she shouted when the doorbell rang.  Her heart was racing and her hands were shaking when she opened the door.  She tried to smile, reminding herself he was probably even more nervous than she was.

"Hi."

Peter held her in his arms, rocking her a little to sooth her. "You could...." He was going to say with him, but hs mom might have a say in that. "I could put you up in a hotel until you go off to college. I'm sure you will live in the dorms there."

"You would do that for me?" She sniffled and wiped her cheeks with the back of her hand.

"You can afford that?"
