"George and I got married."

The crowd went wild, and people started shouting random things.

"Finally!"

"That's so cute!"

"Fucking queers!"

"You're disgusting!"

"I'm buying all your albums!"

"Who's the girl next to you?"

"Oh!" Ringo pointed to Elica. "This is our fifteen-year-old daughter Elica!"

"Hi," she whispered shyly. She froze as the crowd went silent. "Wh - what?"

"Why would you adopt her?"

"She's a teenager."

"Did you do that on purpose?"

"She's leaving you in a few years, so why bother?"

"Kids grow up fast."

Elica covered her ears to drown out the comments. "George, Ringo, help."

"Alright!" Ringo shouted, rendering the crowd silent. "We didn't call this press conference just to hear you say these things about me daughter! Who cares if she's a teenager and leaves in a few years? You know what we gave her? A home!"

"That's something she didn't have!" George added. "Who are we to deny her that? We love her no matter what, even after she leaves! Do you stop loving your children when they move out? Well, neither will we!"

"You tell 'em!" Paul shouted from the crowd. "That's me niece up there!"

Elica relaxed as the crowd erupted into apologies and applause. "I love you too!"
