Stormie: "I don't know but it needs to be sooner rather than later. It'll absoloutly shatter their hearts but we really need to tell them."
Rocky: *almost crying* "I just want my brothers to be happy! Why is the law so fucking unfair?" *starts crying*
Stormie and Rydel: *starts crying*
Ryland: "oh come on!" *starts crying*
Riker and Ross: *walk down the stairs*
Riker: "woah guys what's with the crying?"
Ross: "yeah it's gonna make me cry!"
Stormie: "sweethearts we have to tell you something"
Rikoss: "okay...."
Mark: "I think you should sit down."
Ross: "okayyyy"

He said the last part quickly and they couldn't understand him
Ross: "dad if you need to tell us something just tell us!"
Mark: *sighed* "okay. Youuuu guys can't. Get. Married. "
Ross: *stood up* "WHY WHO SAYS"
Riker: "WHY THE FUCK CANT WE GET MARRIED?!?!?!"
Mark: "when we went to the meeting with the president after you two left he told us that you wouldn't be able to get married. That you two dating was pushing the law enough as is."
Ross: "THATS FUCKING REDICULOUS WERE GETTING MARRIED!!!"
Mark: "WOULD YOU RATHER BE MARRIED IN JAIL OR DATING AND FREE???"
There were a few moments of silence
Mark: "I can't lose.... My sons. You can't go to jail. You can't. It's a living hell.
Ross: "how would you know..."
Mark: "uhhhh just assuming."
Ross: "dad, I know you're lying cause you crinkle your nose and close your right eye just like Riker."
Mark: "cause I've been there."
Riker: "what the hell??? Why were you IN JAIL???
Mark: "Riker cal-"
Riker: "AND WHY HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING IT FROM US?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"
Mark: "CAUSE THERES SOME THINGS YOU JUST DONT WANT YOUR SON TO KNOW ABOUT!!!"
Rydel: "dad just tell us why!"
Mark: "fine"
Ryland: "finally!"
Mark: "about fourty years ago- before any of you were even a thought- I had some problems with drugs. I didn't do them I just dealt them. I got caught and I went to jail. Luckily your mother and I had enough saved up that she could bail me out."
Rocky: "I can't believe you!"
Mark: "that's why I didn't want to tell you! I have a good relationship with all of you and I didnt want to lose that with any of you! I love you! I know I never say it enough, but I do! Rocky, I love you, Rydel, I love you, Ross, I love you, Riker, I love you, Ryland, I love you, and Stormie, my beautiful wife, I love you! You're my family and after I got bailed out of jail it made me realize the huge mistake I made and I stopped dealing drugs and that's when we started this family!"
Rydel: "I love you too"
Rocky and Ryland: "we love you too"
Rikoss: "we love you too"
Stormie: "I love you too"
Lynches: *got into a big group hug*
Just then Ellington walked in
Ellington: "oh hey guys!"
Rydel: "comere! You're not a Lynch but you're a part of this family!"
Ellington: *walked over and joined the hug*
Riker: "well I'm talking to the president again."
Ross: "I'm going too"
Lynches and Ratliff: *hugged for a little more*
Mark: "who wants to go get some pizza and see a movie?"
Lynch kids: "ME!!!"
Stormie: "hahaha okay let's go"
Mark: "Ellington get over here!"
Ellington: "yes?"
Mark: "don't think you're not invited!"
