A Family Affair - Big Brother Edition

Chapter 7 - The Truth Revealed

POV: Jae Olsen

"Jae, Sam, congratulations on making the finals. You've already spoken to the jury, who has already cast their votes. Once I have read the votes, the winner will be announced and then both of you will be able to walk out the front door. Are you ready?" Julie asked, as Sam and I took each other's hands.

"Yeah." I said.

"Yes." Sam spoke at the same time.

"Then let's go. Each jury member has voted. As I pull each key, we will see who voted for who." She turned to face a small block in front of her. "Raff cast his vote for Jae." She paused, showing the cameras the key. "Dave voted for Jae." Another pause. "Matt R. voted for Sam."

I squeezed her hand, knowing however this turned out, we had made it to the end.

"Marco voted for Sam." Julie paused. "We are at 2 votes each, with one final vote left. Indio voted for... Congratulations Jae, you have won Big Brother."

I jumped to my feet and pulled Sam into a hug. "We did it. To the end, just you and me!" We both headed for the door, only to have confetti cannons sending glittering confetti everywhere.

We were directed to sit on a pair of couches, side by side, with empty seats beside both of us. Julie shook both of our hands and motioned for us to sit. She quickly explained that we would be doing a quick interview and that's how our celebrity connections would be revealed.

"Welcome back." Julie said to the cameras. "I am joined by Sam and our winner Jae. So, you both seem to have your own language this season. I know you are both bartenders, but I have to be honest, the names seem to indicate people. Help me out here."

Sam and I laughed for a few seconds, before Sam spoke up.

"Well Julie, funny story. Jae and I have been friends for years because of our significant others, and we had to have a way to talk about them without giving away our connection."

I nodded, before adding a bit. "Our significant others and friends actually get a kick out of it."

"It seems like the whole house seemed to get a laugh out of it all." Julie added. "Now both of you are what we called UNKNOWNS this season. No one knows who your celebrity attachment is. Do either of you wanna say it, before we continue?"

I looked at Sam and we both shrugged.

"I have two... My wife and my sister." I admitted. "My older sister is kind of a Rock star. Her name is Alecia, AKA Pink." I laughed, as some of the other houseguests in the audience gasped.

"My attachment is my girlfriend... but I won't say her name."

"Well then, let's bring out our visitors." Julie said and I heard footsteps coming up behind us. The footsteps got closer, and I felt a hand slap me across the back of my head.

"OWE!" Both Sam and I said at the same time as I looked backward. "Scarlett!" Standing behind me was Scarlett, with Lizzie standing behind Sam. The two looked at us, before switching places and sitting down next to the two of us.

Julie looked confused. "So now that we have our visitors in the studio, I am curious, how are the four of you related?"

Lizzie and Scarlett quickly slid into our laps, pressing a kiss to their respective other half's cheek.

"Jae and I have been married for four years." Lizzie said, as I smiled brightly.

"Best four years of my life and they just keep getting better." I added.

"And Scarlett?" Julie prompted, pulling Sam and Scarlett out of their little world.

"Sam and I have been dating for just over 5 years." Scarlett spoke, her voice strong. Those that knew her could see a slight flicker of fear coming out. Lizzie and I grabbed her hand, in comfort.

The audience went WILD, cheering and clapping, causing Scarlett to blush deeply and smile.

"I told you that everything will be ok." I heard Lizzie mutter.

"So, about what we discussed in the house?" I looked at Sam as the crowd calmed. Sam nodded. I looked back to my wife. "Did you and Sam Adams figure out the clues we left, my love?"

Lizzie grinned brightly. "As a matter of fact, we did." She looked at Sam and motioned for her to go ahead.

Scarlett looked completely lost, as Sam slid off the couch. Sam quickly dropped to one knee, with Scarlett still sitting on her knee.

"Scarlett, my sweet champagne kisses, you have been the love of my life since the day we met. Having you and our sweet Shirley Temple in my life has grounded me in ways I never expected, and I cannot imagine my life without the two of you. You are the air I breathe, and the sun on my face. You are my heart and soul." Lizzie quickly passed a small box to Sam. "So, Scarlett Ingrid Johansson, will you marry me?"

The audience held their breath, waiting for an answer. Scarlett put a hand over her lips for a second before she nodded.

"Oh Sam, YES! A million times yes!" She said.

Sam slid the ring on her finger and they shared a sweet kiss. The audience once again went wild, screaming and cheering, the clapping was deafening. Scarlett looked at the ring and then back to Sam, a giant smile on her face.

I sat back on the couch, giggling like a damn toddler, just at the look on Julie's face. Lizzie elbowed me in the side to calm down. As the applause calmed down, Julie managed to get control again.

"Congratulations!" She offered first, before turning to look at Sam and I. "I still can't figure out the nicknames."

"The nicknames are for our Marvel family and yes, they do know their nicknames. Which nickname belongs to who will remain between us though."

I fell into giggles, spotting RDJ and Evans in the audience. "You let one slip already there Scotch."

"Speaking of surprises..." Lizzie said, pulling out an envelope. She handed it to me.

"What is this?" I asked, but my wife just motioned for me to take a look. I opened the envelope to see a sonogram scan. My eyes went wide as I looked between Lizzie and the scan. I hadn't pulled it fully out of the envelope. "Wait... seriously? And you want to announce it now? On life TV?"

"The time is right, the family already knows and it's already past the normal time frame..." She said. "Are you going to say it out loud, darling?"

I handed it over to Scarlett and Sam. "My wife just handed me a sonogram photo. We are going to have a baby." I pulled Lizzie into my side. My hand covered her stomach where our child was growing.

"Um Jae?" Scarlett interrupted. "There's two here."

I twisted to look at Scarlett in shock. "What?"

"See... one and two..."

I looked back at Lizzie. "Two?"

"Twins." She smiled. I stood, pulling her into my arms and spinning the two of us around.

"Twins!" I could feel the excitement race through my body. "We are having TWINS!"

I didn't bother to pay attention to anything else going on. Lizzie and I were going to be parents to a pair of twins.
