Chapter 4
The adults minus Aja and Esme were very much plastered. The kids were having fun with the fact they were so unbelievably drunk.
"Wow, Courtney, let's get married!" Ethan cried out.
"OH MY GOD YEAH!" Fae jumped up and down. "Come on kids, you guys love weddings!"
"Yeah we just had one," Nico sighed. "Guess we could do another, why not."
The group made their way to the little white chapel where Courtney pulled out a coconut ring she found for $2 at a tourist stand.
"Wow, that's all I ever wanted!" Ethan cried out in joy.
"Yes. And now we will live a great life with your kids. We can move into the Glype House!"
Ethan, totally forgetting about their profession and everything, willingly agreed. "I can't wait! Can't you kids?"
Amber and Pay smiled in pain as this was such a disaster.
"How about you kids show off the talent your parents gave ya!" Ethan cheered.
Amber and Pay busted out in the perfect song of "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria" except replaced the word Maria with Ethan and all the themes to be about Australia including the Great Emu War of 1932.
Ethan and Courtney were married in a flash, and after a quick m!marry, Ethan turned to Courtney with drunken eyes.
"Wait, how old are you?"
"24." Courtney said with a full stop.
"What?" Ethan looked around in panic.
"What's wrong Ethan?" Fae nudged the newest relative.
"Umm, nothing maybe…" Ethan sweat a little.
"Okay, let's hit the bar again!"
"Sounds good." Courtney said again with a full stop.
"Stop that," Ethan muttered. Courtney didn't seem to pay too much attention.
At the bar, Courtney was having a great time talking to everyone about James Gunn movies.
"PLEASE James Gunn is an asshole!" Ethan cried out. "James Gunn is a fucking asshole!"
Fae was so drunk she started smoking a napkin. "Anyone else getting tired of this shit? How about we do some karaoke?"
"Yeah um, good idea" Aja encouraged the kids to go up and sing, where they started singing "It's a hard knock life" from the musical Annie.
"Aww they're so sweet Aja," Fae smiled. "Can't wait for one day my little Tay and Jessy go up there and sing."
"I been hearing Tay sing. They're a fucking amazing singer." Aja replied.
"What? Why the fuck have I never heard it?"
"Ion know." Aja shrugged. "Guess you aren't around when it happens."
Courtney got up and started singing "A few words in defense of our country" by Randy Newman.
"Courtney mute your mic!" Ethan rudely interrupted halfway through the beautiful performance.
"Ayo what the fuck!" Aja yelled at Ethan.
"Ethan, that wasn't nice." Coutney said full stop.
This somehow triggered Ethan. "Courtney, all you need to know is that your use of full stops comes off as unnecessarily aggressive and your continued use of them after I've asked you to stop is just plain rude, it's distressing to me, so please stop!"
Courtney went quiet, the kids went quiet, the adults went quiet, the entire bar went quiet, Las Vegas reported a mass silence over the entire city at that very moment.
"Wow," Piper shook her head. "Unbelievable."
"You are gonna regret that." Fae took a massive sip of her Cosmopolitan.
Courtney was the don Agvera, the leader of a massive drug cartel. Only the closest Agveras knew, and to piss Courtney off would call the entire family their enemy. The kids were ready to rip Ethan to shreds.
"Now, now kids. Let Auntie Courtney handle this." Courtney pressed a button on her phone before walking over to Ethan. "How about we settle this privately."
"Fine, but I want a divorce!" Ethan demanded.
"Shh, you will, sweetheart." Courtney and Ethan walked away, leaving Amber and Pay behind.
"What's gonna happen to our parent?" Amber asked Fae.
Fae was looking real nervous. "Umm.. I think you guys should stick close to us for now. How about I be your mom for now!"
"Okay sure thing," Amber smiled. "Do you like ABBA?"
"Do I!"

Later in the hotel lobby, Courtney met the rest of the family.
"What happened to Ethan?" Aja asked.
"Well, let's just say I took care of it." Courtney smiled. "Kids, you best be calling Fae your mom from here on out."
Amber and Pay seemed to not mind and were excited to be under Fae's custody.
"Well, I could always use more kids!" Fae cheered.
A mysterious figure came walking towards the group.
"Which one of you is Courtney?" She was so beautiful, a latina with long wavy hair.
"That'd be me," Courtney smiled meekly.
"We took care of it." The woman smiled before winking. "Call me Jewel,"
"Nice to meet you Jewel," Courtney was nervously extending her hand to shake the mysterious woman, but when Jewel reached out to grab Courtney's, she pulled her in closer.
"What's going on?" Esme asked Aja and Fae.
"She's… getting bitches!" Fae gasped.
