Unexpected.

Chapter 2

3rd Person POV:

"I can't believe we are actually going to that concert tonight!!" Courtney gushed.

"Me either. I'm a little nervous if I'm being honest. What if I have to face Harry again?"

"Then, Taz, I'll kick his you know what." Courtney winked.

"Aunt Courtney!! Mommy!! You're home!!" Mackenzie squeal, running to hug her mother.

"What am I? Chopped liver?" Courtney asked fake pouting.

"Ew, no aunty. Just, no." Mackenzie said with a disgusted face.

"Okay, you've been spending too much time with your aunt." Taz said shaking her head.

"What are you implying? I think it's adorable." Courtney smirked.

"She's learning to be a sassy independent woman. I'm proud." Courtney said proudly.

"Wait until she starts sassing me, then your butt is on the streets." Taran sassed causing Courtney to gasp.

"I'm offended, but I don't have time to waste. I gotta look my best tonight." Courtney said walking up the stairs to her room.

"What are we gonna do with her?" Mackenzie chimes in next to her mom.

"You said it, not me." Taz laughed at her daughter.

They heard the door bell and Mackenzie squealed, running to answer the door. When she opens it she was confused by who she saw standing at the door.

"Who are you? Are you door to door sales men?" She gasped.

"Um, who are you?" Michael asked with wide eyes.

"Aunty says that you're not suppose to give that type of info to strangers." She said, holding her nose high in the air.

"Does a girl named Courtney live here?" Ashton asked the small child.

"Yes, yes she does. Would you like me to go get her?" She asked.

"Could you please?" Ashton asked sweetly.

"AUNT COURTNEY-what's your name again?"

"A-Ashton."

""-ASHTON'S HERE TO SEE YOU!!"

"Kenzie, you're gonna wake the dead screaming that loud." Courtney giggled.

"Oh! Hey guys. What're you doing here?" Courtney smiled.

"We, uh, came to see you and Taz." Michael said softly, eyes locked on the small child smiling adoringly at him.

"Oh, come in!! Taz is up getting ready." Courtney smiled, ushering the boys to the living room.

Ashton grabbed her arm and whispered in her ear, "Aunt Courtney? Who's kid is she?".

"That's a long story..." She trailed off.

"You can tell me anything." He whispered back, looking her in the eyes.

"It's not my story to tell." She whispered back, smiling weakly at Ashton.

"I think it's time we talk." Taz chimed in as she walked into the room.

"You might wanna take a seat, this is gonna take a while." She said, nervous about what could happen after the conversation they were about to have.
