Trying Hard to Ignore You

Welcome to your Gunther

Spencer was going to try to talk me int having Noah and Emily move in because they're family but he decided not to because Noah said some 'fucked up things to me' according to Spencer.

Ethan and Kendall are talking about moving up here because everyone is here. They've been talking about it since we found Dad, but now that Spencer and I are here too, and Emily, they're going to do it. They're in town for a few days and we're allowing them and baby Georgia to stay at our house while they househunt, just for a couple of days. It's been a week since we found out about Noah and Emily. Spencer is pissed at Noah but he's being polite.

Ethan and Kendall just got here, and the moment she's done breastfeeding my nephew, I practically claw him out of her arms.

I have hardly gotten to see him. He's only about three months old now. It's November 1st and we're all here for dinner. I hold my nephew, bouncing him in my arms. He's so precious, with a head full of Kendall's brown hair and Ethan's blue eyes.

He's so beautiful.

"So, we need to talk to you guys." Noah says.

"Yeah, why are you looking like you're ready to murder my brother in law?" Kendall jokes.

"Oh, that anger is directed at my wife." Spencer says coldly.

Here we go.

"Noah and I are getting married." Emily says.

"What?" Ethan asks. "What? Eloped? You guys don't date."

"We've been dating over a year." Noah says calmly.

Ethan looks at me.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

I can tell Emily gets mad that Ethan and I are closer than we are with her but we grew up together, and while I have memories with Emily as a child, most of my memories of my life are of Ethan. He's my protector and my best friend. He's my big brother.

"I didn't know." I say, looking up from my nephew to look at my brother.

"Wait." Kendall holds her hands up. "You two have been fucking in closets for a year and nobody knew about it?"

"Basically." Emily says.

"Why didn't you tell anybody? That's cold. My own sister didn't tell me she was in a serious relationship." Ethan scowls.

"That's what I said!" I exclaim, throwing my left hand in the air, the other hand holding my sleeping nephew.

"Why didn't you?" Kendall wonders.

"Because I was scared Audrey would flip and leave Spencer, but we all know she needs him." Emily says.

"What?" Kendall laughs, shaking her head. "I was there when she was with Ashton. I was there when she was with Spencer. Hell, I was there before Ashton. There are three different Audrey's. There's bitter single, guarded Audrey, there's miserable Audrey with a dick of a fiancé, and there's wifey Audrey, who is happy and in love. She wouldn't leave Spencer unless she thought she had to protect him. Would she get a hotel room or avoid everyone? Yes. Fuck yes, but she would come back. She will always come back. When she used to leave, Spencer used to follow her, but now he calms and lets her go. He knows she's going to come back. She always comes back. Don't use your sister as an excuse to lie." She shakes her head. "Audrey is twenty seven years old and old enough to know what she needs."

"So you two are just not talking because they didn't tell you?" Ethan asks. "It feels like it's more than that."

"Well they walked into my house and asked to move in with us," I start.
