FREEDOM #WATTPRIDE

Team Ashtan!

Meanwhile Back at the Grayson Mansion....

(Chilling on the First-floor patio) 

(Peter POV)

"Ah, you don't even understand how good it feels to just be in a t-shirt and jeans." Shawn sighs and stretches out on the bench. 

I sit on the railing with Joseph and watch the women and grandchildren running around on the lawn. 

Pierce smacks the back of Shawn's head.

 "No one told you to marry the queen." Luke says and Shawn rubs the back of his head.

 "Hey, let your brother relax," Papa calls them back and we leave King Shawn Rupert Grayson alone. 

"I feel like we're missing a few," Joseph says and I look around. 

"Soren, Enrique, Luke, Shawn, Parker, Pierce...Where's Jonathan?" 

I count off and Papa shrugs. 

"He has fled the country." He laughs and we all look at him.

 "Oh this should be good." Enrique mutters and Luke elbows him.

 "Where? And why?"  Luke asks and papa looks out towards the ocean, leaning against the railing. 

"Mmm you boys do realize he lost his wife and suddenly had surprise twin daughters at the same time right?" 

He reminds us and we all quiet down. 

"Jonathan needed a break from Bridgeport and is going to be working out of New York," Papa announces. 

It hits harder than I expected.

 What are we going to do without him?

 Wait a minute.

 "That means Peter is the head CEO of the company until Jonathan returns." 

He announces next and it's a mixture of groaning and eye rolls.

 "Great, I sure do love forced productivity," Pierce complains and I smack him. 

"You know...he left with Ashley," Seung says as he takes a sip of iced tea.

 "What?!"

"How do you even know that?" Luke asks his husband. 

Joseph and Nolan try to give Seung a look. Luke slides in and blocks Seung from seeing them shake their heads.

 "The Grayson Spouse Group chat?"

 Joseph and Nolan turn their heads and try to avoid our prying looks. 

"You guys have a groupchat! Since when!"

"I thought you guys knew about it, Tatianna's in it too."

 Papa stops laughing and looks at Seung. 

"What!?"

"How much do you wanna bet that when they come back they're going to be an actual couple?" Joseph asks and I laugh, 

"Come on hon, Jonathan and Ashley? I highly doubt it." I say and Pierce shakes his head. 

"I disagree. I can totally see it happening. It's just the two of them over there." He winks.

 "I agree with Jojo on this one." Shawn says.

 "Alright, let's make a bet, losers have to babysit the kids while the winners go away for a weekend," Luke announces.

"Ah, I could use a vacation." Joseph yawns. 

"It would be without me though." I remind him. 

"Exactly." He mutters and I look at him shocked. 

"I thought you loved me." I joke and he laughs, gently kissing my cheek. 

"Of course I do but papa needs a break which is why I'm going to win. I'm team Ashtan!" he shouts excitedly and I groan.

 

"Great, they have a ship name too?" I roll my eyes. 

"Okay, so who thinks they're coming back single?"

 I ask and raise my hand along with Enrique, Luke, Parker, Nolan and Soren. 

"Any who says couple?" Joseph asks while raising his hand with Shawn, Seung, Pierce, and Papa?

 "Papa!" 

We call out and he shrugs.

 "What? I can see it happening." He laughs and I call out to the wives. 

"Hey guys, Jonathan and Ashley left the country together, do you think they're coming back single or married?"

I ask and they talk to each other for a few moments. 

Mama turns to us.

 "We all say married!" They announce.

 Wow, not even mama was on our side. 

"Woohoo! Team Ashtan!" 

Joseph yells excitedly and I elbow him in the chest, hard enough for him to lose balance and fall off the porch railing and into the bushes.
