Peter Griffin walked into his kitchen and grabbed himself an ice cold beer from the fridge after his long hard day of doing nothing, but sit on his couch and watch the marathon of Duck Dynasty. He took a sip of his beer when the phone began to ring. Peter looked at the phone as it rang; blaring through the Griffin household, then took another sip of his beer, ignoring the phone.
"Peter," His wife Lois called from their bedroom. "Can you get that? I know you're in the kitchen."
Peter sighed, "Damn it." I hate answering the phone." He said to himself. He walked up to the phone and answered. "Who is this and what the hell do you want?" Peter's face changed when he recognized the person on the other end. "Oh hey Brianna…"
"Peter who is it?" Lois asked as she walked into the kitchen.
Peter covered the phone with his hand, "It's our niece."
Lois smiled happily, "Bri? Oh I haven't seen her since-"
"Lois please, I'm on the phone." Peter said interrupting his wife. He then went back to his phone call, "So what's up girlie? How's it-"Peter stayed quiet while his niece cut him off. His smile turned into a horrified face. Lois, obviously seeing her husband's face change all of a sudden, walked up to him.
"What is it Peter?" Lois asked. "Is Brianna alright?"
Peter looked at Lois and once again covered the phone, "My brother and sister-in-law are dead. They were hit by a Mexican food truck."
Lois gasped, "Oh no. Poor Brianna."
Peter put the phone back to his ear where a beeping sound could be heard, "Hey Bri, I know you're going through a rough time right now with your parents being dead and all, but I got another call coming in… So I'm going to put you on hold."
Lois watched in amazement as Peter put his only niece, who was probably crying, on hold to answer a call that could have probably waited.
"Hello? Oh hey Quagmire… What? That's horrible? Oh my God are you okay?" Peter covered the phone and looked at his wife, "They cancelled Quagmire's subscription to Chicks-R-Us. Now he can't watch his porn for free. There is no God." Peter said darkly.
Lois hit Peter and grabbed the phone from him, "For Godsakes Peter! Your brother just died and you just put your niece on hold when she needs you the most." Lois ended Quagmire's call and returned to her niece. "Brianna? It's your aunt Lois. I'm so sorry to hear about your parents."
As his wife's back was turned talking to Brianna, Peter quietly walked out of his house and ran to Quagmire's house. He knocked on his friend's door with tears in his eyes. When Quagmire opened the door, Peter embraced him with a hug. "It's okay buddy. We'll get through this, don't you worry."
The Griffins walked into the church after a three hour drive from Quahog to the city Apollo where Brianna lived. Stewie and Brian looked around the church to see multiple people crying and walking up to the double coffins where the bodies lay.
"I can't believe I'm here." Stewie huffed, "I don't even know who this Brianna character is."
"She's your cousin Stewie." Brian answered. "And right now she needs us more than ever."
"What the hell man? You don't even know her." Stewie said angrily.
"So," Brian countered, "Death is a serious thing and Brianna just lost both of her parents at the same time. Mind you Stewie, there your aunt and uncle."
Stewie crossed his arms, "Not anymore there not. There probably outside the gates of Heaven fighting with Peter to get in."
"You're messed up." Brian said.
"Eh, it is what it is."
Lois pointed to a young 17-year-old girl wearing a black dress talking to some of her parent's friends from work. Brianna Griffin had short brown hair, a beautiful curvy body, and eyes as black as the night sky. "There's Brianna. God I haven't seen her since her graduation from Brown."
Brian's eyes widened, "She graduated from Brown? You mean Brown University?"
"No Brian," Stewie said, "I think they mean the other Brown in Rhode Island. Stupid dog."
Brian looked at Brianna and smiled, "Wow. Beautiful and smart." As the Griffins made their way towards Brianna, Lois explained to Brian that Brianna was a very smart child. She also explained that Brianna graduated collage at the age of 16.
Peter laughed out loud, "Oh yeah, Bri was very smart, and very pretty. Even when they were kids I remember Meg trying to rip Bri's face off and putting it on her own face."
"Peter stop it." Lois snapped as they approached Brianna. The young girl wiped away a tear and smiled at her family.
"Uncle Peter? Aunt Lois?" She hugged them both tightly.
"Oh it's so good to see you, sweetheart." Lois said quietly, "I'm so sorry for your loss. You know were here for you."
Peter looked around not paying attention to his niece, "Yeah, yeah sad to hear about your parents Bri. But the best part is, I finally beat my brother at something." He laughed. "I told you mom I would win one day." He pointed to his mother who was sitting in the front pew.
Lois shook her head. Brianna said hello to her cousins, "Hi Chris. It's great to see you again. You know without your head being attached to that fishbowl." She giggled quietly.
Chris laughed along, "We had a great time with that fish bowl."
Next, Brianna walked up to Meg and smiled, "Meg, you're not going to try and rip my face off now, are you?"
Meg forced her laugh, "Aw come on, were all behind that now."
"You're beautiful Meg. I don't think you need my face." Brianna said.
Lois put her arm around her niece, "Now there's no need for lying Bri."
Stewie was picked up by Brianna and given a kiss on the cheek. "You're getting so big Stewie."
"Not as big as Meg I hope." Stewie joked as he took a likening to Brianna. He thought to himself that she was absouluty beautiful, and that she didn't look related to the fat man.
"Bri," Lois said. "This is our dog Brian."
Brian extended his arm out to the girl, "I wish we could have met under better circumstances. I am very sorry for your loss."
Brianna looked into Brian's eyes and smiled, "Thank you Brian. It's very nice to meet you."
The Griffins took their seats in the first pew as the Father came out from the back followed by two young altar boys looking scared. The Father looked at the boys as he fixed his collar and whispered angrily at them, "I expect better from you boys when were done this crap." He then took his spot at the podium and began the funeral. Brianna held in her tears as she was asked to step up and talk about her parents. The entire time she spoke, Brian could tell that she was looking at the wall at the far back of the Church. He sighed feeling bad for her, and wishing he could go up with her and hold her hand, and tell her that everything was going to be okay.
After the funeral, Peter and Lois were called by Brianna's parent's lawyer, to discuss Peter's brother's wishes. Lois and Peter sat down in front of the large desk while the lawyer, Mr. Clark, fumbled through some papers and found the paper he was looking for. Mr. Clark cleared his throat and began to speak.
"Mr. and Mrs. Griffin, I would first like to apologize at what happened. I am very truly sorry. Second of all, it seems like Diana and Alan, in any case something had happened to them and that they were no longer able to care for Brianna that they leave her in your care."
Lois and Peter sat up straight, leaning in towards the Mr. Clark. Peter spoke first, "My brother has all this money and all he leaves me is his daughter? Selfish bastard."
Lois hit Peter, "Peter hush. Um, Mr. Clark… you see I don't think that we'd be able to take in Brianna. As much as would like for her to live with us, we have three kids-"
Mr. Clark raised his hand, "It also says here that if you are unavailable to care for young Brianna, next in line would have to be Peter's mother."
"Sold!" Peter slammed the desk.
"Peter! No," Lois quickly said. She never liked Peter's mother and she especially didn't approve of her parenting. Lois thought for a minute, she loved Brianna but she also had three other children to look after. Brianna was almost 18, and it wasn't like she was in school and needed supplies. Lois thought some more, then looked back at Mr. Clark. "Okay, we'll take her in."
Mr. Clark nodded and handed a paper and pen to Peter and Lois, "Very well. Sign here and here… Good. Alright Mr. and Mrs. Griffin, Brianna is in your full custody."
"Thank you Mr. Clark." Lois said as she stood up and led Peter to the door.
"What the hell was that, Lois?" Peter asked once outside the lawyer's office.
"Peter, she is our niece. And I am not about to give her up to your mother. That girl needs us and we are going to take her in and finish raising her. Am I understood?"
"But-"
"Am I clear?"
Peter nodded quickly and took out his car keys, "Alright then. Let's go back home."
