Angelica

"Alright," I took a deep breath as George and I waited for the others to arrive, "I'm stressed as fuck." We had called everybody to come over to tell them about the relationship we decided it was better to tell them now than for them to find out later.

George nodded, "You think you're nervous?" He asked lightly. I smacked his arm gently and we resumed the tense silence I had interrupted. This was probably the longest fifteen minutes of my life.

Soon, although now that it was happening it seemed like it was too soon and I wanted the longest fifteen minutes of my life back, everybody was here. Alex and John who looked elated sat with Alex on John's lap, next to them sat Laf and Hercules with their wedding rings shining, Peggy sat with an arm around Maria who had been released from the hospital just a few hours ago with Susan in her arms, she was still bruised and her nose was barely visible through the bandages I'm just glad she's here, Theo sat on an armrest that had Eliza sat next to Tori on a love seat with Nathan on the floor near her since there were no more seats with Jane and Thomas in the last two seats, armchairs.

"So," Tori said and casually threw her legs over Eliza's lap which made my sister look confused and shocked though it was Tori so I wouldn't put it past her, "Why have we been called here and branching on that please make it swift seeing as Thomas and Alex keep giving each other Drarry looks."

"Drarry?" Maria asked as Susan began to babble random shit like babies do, "What's a Drarry?" She asked.

Tori looked disappointed, "Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy, Harry and Draco, Drarry, it's their ship name." She answered and I caught a glimpse of Alex pulling a disgusted face, "Since Harry and Draco act like they hate each other and always like talk about them indirectly and share 'I hate you' glances I think Alex and Thomas are just Drarry incarnate."

Alex made a loud grunting noise, "Don't even THINK about shipping me with that arrogant, selfish, good for nothing asshat." He said and crossed his arms while John rolled his eyes.

"Oh I'm arrogant, selfish, good for nothing, and an asshat?" Thomas asked and rolled his eyes, "At least I didn't walk into debate class and yell 'watch this shit motherfuckers' as if I was some hot shit before being completely decimated." He sat back and I saw Jane gently take his hand.

Alex glared back and I noticed Tori looked like she was thoroughly enjoying the argument she sort of started, "I won that debate and you know it!" Alex shouted back, "And at least I don't obviously spend hours in front of a mirror just-"

"-YO! That's enough," I yelled and everybody snapped their attention to me like I knew they would, "George and I have important news to tell you so can you put your childish arguing off until you've left? Or save that energy for the aforementioned debate class?" There were some quiet responses before I turned to George with a smile, "All yours now."

George nodded and looked over the people that had come over just because we asked them to. He smiled slightly though it was obvious he was nervous. George fucking Washington was nervous. He took a breath to calm himself and then he spoke, "I know it might sound like it's terribly unlawful or even sound creepy or disgusting...I know I may even lose some people in my own life for it simply because of how they will view this but Angelica and I are exclusively dating now." He said and I glanced at Thomas for a moment seeing as we had a sort of relationship awhile ago. Thankfully he didn't look upset, something I was afraid of.

It took a minute before Alex spoke up, "Well that's cool, kind of awkward since he's like my dad, but that's cool. Anyway, John and I just signed some adoption papers for a four-month baby girl.  Her name is Frances Eleanor and we get to pick her up in two days so that's pretty cool too."

"WHAT?!" I swear over half the room shouted that and Tori dropped her phone which I guess she was checking. Alex grinned broadly and John looked embarrassed at the sudden attention and I couldn't really make words come out of my mouth.

Washington cleared his throat, "Well it appears I'm about to become a grandfather." He said and smiled gently before looking at me, "You're a step-grandma."

"Ewwwww I'm not that old," I pushed him slightly again and laughed before smiling at Alex and John, "I'm really happy for you guys and if you ever need help then just call us and I'd be happy to help you, really. I know more about babies then you'd think."

"So do I," Alex replied and leaned into John when he kissed his cheek, "But yeah and we're trying to find a new place to live since the dorms don't allow children and we want you all to meet Frances Eleanor except Thomas because he's a whore."

Thomas sat up properly with a start, "Fucking f-"

"-Sounds wonderful," Eliza interrupted with a smile. I began to laugh along with a few other people as Thomas sat back into his seat again while crossing his arms with a frown.

George then spoke up again, "I could help? There's this small sort of cottagey house, it's about fifteen minutes from the school and there's a house next to it I could get for you, Peggy and Maria. I own the first house since I used to live in it and couldn't bring myself to sell it and the other has been on the market for years. Maybe...here, I'll give the addresses when I have permission for the second to be looked through and you guys can go look around and see if you like it. Okay?"

Maria nodded instantly, "Please I uh, that's okay, right?" She looked at Peggy who nodded with a smile, "Okay if it isn't too much trouble then please we really need to move out since I've been investigated by the dean of the dorm a lot recently because of Susan's crying." She looked back at Peggy, "And of course she can't even move in yet since you're in high school."

Peggy shrugged and Alex spoke next, "Yeah I'd like to look at the house first but if I like it I'll definitely tell you." He looked back at John, "That's cool, right?" John nodded and Alex looked back, "Yeah that's amazing. Thanks."

George nodded, "Of course." The rest of us enjoyed the time together and George invited them to stay the night which most of them agreed. Thomas had to leave with Jane and that was probably only because he didn't want to stay in the same house as Alex and I appreciate that.
