Evan and Ted brought both girls back to the arena after they had lunch at Chuck E. Cheese. The girls had so much fun. They made both Evan and Ted play the games and on the playground.
"Well, here we go." Ted said as they came to the locker room. They headed in and saw John, Randy, Holly and Dena waiting there. The girls ran over to their dads.
"Peanut, did you have a great time with Evan?" John asked when he picked up Milly.
"I did. It was the best honeymoon." She giggled.
"I'm sure it was baby." He hugged her and put her down. "Now, say goodbye to Evan so he can get to where he needs to be."
"But he is supposed to be with me. We're married." Milly said quickly.
"Baby, he has places to be. He will see you later."
"But we're married. You stay with mommy and you're married."
"I do but I also have my job which I leave mommy and I go do."
"Oh, okay." Milly headed over to Evan and gave him a big hug. "Make sure you come back. We need to find a house later."
"Okay." Evan said walking out. He assumed she was still pretending.
"I have to go too. See you later." Ted said heading out too.
The girls watched the show and soon it was over and they headed to the hotel.
"Mommy, where is Evan? Daddy said he would be back."
"Milly, Evan is in his room." Holly replied.
"Then I should be there. He is my husband."
"Amelia, come here for a minute." Holly said to her daughter. She realized that Milly might think the marriage is real.
"What?" Milly asked as she sat on her mom's lap.
"Milly, you know that this marriage is pretend, that the wedding was pretend, right?"
"No, I'm married and I have to be with my husband." She replied getting up and getting her bag.
"Milly, you and Evan aren't married. Uncle Ted performed the ceremony and he doesn't have the legal right to marry you and Evan."
"But we said I do. Ella said once you say I do, you're married. I'm married to Evan."
"Milly, you aren't really married to Evan. This was all pretend, baby."
"I don't believe you. I think you just don't want me to be married." She headed over to the other room and pouted.
Holly knew this going to be a problem. She was getting ready to call Dena when she heard a knock on the door. She saw Dena there with Ella.
"Let me guess. She thinks she is really married to Ted?"
"Yes." Dena said walking in. "Ella, go play with Milly while Holly and I talk."
While Dena and Holly were trying to figure out how to get the girls to know that the marriages were pretend, Milly and Ella were trying to figure out how to get out of the room.
"We have to get to our husbands." Milly said as they were in the room.
"Yes we do. I think we can sneak away." Ella said as she got up. They walked to the door and saw that their moms were talking. "There is another door in the other room. I think we can get out."
They headed to the other door and were surprised it opened. They saw their dads sleeping so, they quietly walked by. Once they were out, they headed to the room.
"Ella, are you sure you know the room number?" Milly asked as they walked down the hall.
"I do. I heard Ted say they were in room 1289. It's right down the hall." Ella said as they continued to walk.
Once they were at the room number, the girls knocked on the door. Ted was the first one to open it. He was shocked to see the girls there with their bags.
"What are you two doing?" He asked them.
"We came to stay with you." Ella said as she and Milly walked past him and into the room.
"Girls, you're supposed to be with your parents." Evan said walking over.
"No, we're supposed to be with our husbands." Milly said to him. "You're my husband and we are supposed to be together."
Evan didn't know exactly what to say to her. He thought John and Holly would have explained things.
"Let me call your mom and make sure she knows where you are." Evan walked over and got his cell phone. He dialed John and told him that both girls were there.
Holly and Dena had been worried when they went to check on them and they were gone. They woke up John and Randy just before Evan called. They were relieved that the girls were there. John told Evan that they would be right there to get the girls and talk to them about things.
When everyone got there they realized that they needed to really explain things to the girls.
"Okay, girls, sit and let's talk." John said to them.
"What daddy?" Milly asked sitting down.
"Girls, you know the wedding weren't real. They were pretend just like the marriages are pretend." Randy said to them.
"No, they're real." Ella replied quickly.
"Girls, you have to have a license to get married and you didn't have that. Uncle Ted and Uncle John are not qualified to perform wedding ceremonies, so the weddings were not real." Dena said to them.
"But why?" Milly asked with tears.
"Baby, come here." John said picking her up and placing her on his lap. "Evan and Ted thought you guys knew things were pretend. They are great guys and they love you. That is why they went along with this. But you aren't married."
"Oh, will he still take me to Chuck E. Cheese?"
"Milly, I promise to take you anytime you want to go." Evan said to her.
"Okay." She said quickly.
"Ella, do you understand?" Randy asked his daughter.
"Yes." She said quickly. "I understand you all suck. You just keep trying to ruin my fun. You just suck."
"Elisabeth Orton, do not say that again."Dena said to her daughter. "You need to bring in the attitude."
"You do suck. I'm trying to have fun and you just keep messing it up. You won't let me kick anyone, or be married. You just suck."
"That's it little miss, you are grounded. You can't play with Milly or anyone for three days. If the attitude continues, it will be longer." Dena said getting up. "Now, back to the room."
Dena and Randy headed out with Ella and went to their room. This was the first time Dena had really punished Ella for anything. John and Holly headed back to their room with Milly. They were shocked that Dena punished Ella but they knew it was coming. Ella had started with the attitude a few weeks earlier and Dena was annoyed at her daughter thinking everything would be like she wanted it. She told Holly with the new baby coming, it was time that Ella realized the world didn't revolve around her.
