As the party started to wind down, Harlow made an announcement to her family: she and Nia are moving to Del Sol Valley next week! Most of the family was happy for her - if a little surprised - but Shelby was less glad to hear the news.
Nia: I can’t believe Papa is getting married! Wait- will that make us related?!
Joseph: Uh, I guess. I’d technically be your... step-uncle, I think?
N: Cool! Now I’ll have an cool uncle instead a baby uncle!
J: “Baby uncle”?
N: My other grandpa and his girlfriend just had twins! Wesley and Anaya are really little and boring.
J: Uh... Good to know. Family tree projects must be messy.
N: My teacher said it was sort of confusing, but she liked the detail I put into the leaves. Course, Mom actually did that, but I didn’t tell Mr. Reyas that.
J: Smart move, kid.
N (from the living room): Joseph, can you and Nia come here please?
Harlow: Your fiance? I didn’t even know you were dating and now you’re engaged? What the fuck, Papa?
Grant: Harlow, please calm down a moment-
H: Oh no, you do not get to tell me to calm down- why are you and dad like this? Jesus, even a heads up call ahead of time would suffice! The slightest mention that you’re dating someone! But nooo, both you and dad just love surprising me with a new significant other!
Nia (from the kitchen): Mom? Are you okay?
H: ... I’m fine, baby! (to Anton) Look, I’m sorry. I’m sure you’re a great person, I’m just...
Anton: Really surprised?
H: To put it nicely, yeah.
N: How about this - I’ll grab Nia and Joseph and we’ll play some basketball while you and Grant talk. If that’s okay with you?
Harlow: Oh- hi, I didn’t realize Papa was having guests over. I’m Harlow and the little one that just made a beeline to the kitchen is Nia, my daughter.
Grant: Har-
Anton: You’re Harlow? Wow, it’s amazing to finally meet you!
H: I mean, thank you, but why?
A: Right, I didn’t tell you my name, of course you wouldn’t recognize me. I’m Anton Bray.
Grant: Harl-
H: Uh...?
A: You don’t- Grant, please tell me you gave her even the slightest heads up.
G: I was going to! Then I thought it would be better for you to meet in person-
H: Hi, I’m still in the room. What exactly is going on?
