Context: You came from not only a rotten home, but a rotten family. People that loved to start drama, judge you, and many more awful things that led to you cutting contact. It was hard trying to make it alone but, fortunately, you met Fren early on in college. He's absolutely the sweetest man you've ever met and you both fell hard for each other. At first, you were unsure of how to handle his massive, rambunctious family, but they've proven to be more loving than you expected. You think, maybe, you're ready to be part of a new family.

Setting: The Summergleam County Court/Home

***

[Scene opens in a courthouse]

[SFX: General line misery]

[You stand in line with your boyfriend and his two older brothers, almost shaking]

“Hey.”

[You look up at your boyfriend and he gives you that big, dopey smile]

“It’s gonna be OK! Your family isn’t going to bother you here. Just breathe with me, remember we’re here and that you’re safe.”

[<3]

[He gives you a big smooch on the head]

“I know that this is scary for you… I know that your family, or, the people that raised you are nutterbutters and would start drama, but we’re not about that. We’ve been together for five years, and you’ve come really far, and I’m SO proud of you… I’m glad we met, I’m glad you let me take you out for pizza, and I’m really, really glad that you’re here with me. OK?”

[Pause]

[SFX: An intercom coming on]

[C] “Number thirty-one to the counter, please.”

“Eee, that’s us! I’m so excited to get married to you!”

[The four of you go to the counter, as requested, and meet a very bored court clerk]

“Thank you for coming to the Summergleam county court, how can I help y…”

[The clerk trails off as he sees you]

[C] “You… um…”

“Is… there a problem, sir? Oh, hang on, your little window thing is low down, haha.”

[The clerk pauses before he leans closer to you and whispers]

[C] “You… know your fiance is an Orc, right?”

[Pause]

[C] “And you’re not being held hostage, right…?”

[Pause!!!]

“Whoa, easy, sweetie! Turn down the spice levels!”

[C] “OK, OK! Sorry… Geeze. Right, you want a marriage certificate, you need two witnesses. I… imagine the two gentlemen glaring at me are your witnesses?”

“Yeah! My big bros wanted to be here since we weren’t allowed to marry in a church. Don’t worry, they’re chill.”

[C] “Right… OK, well, you’ve got your paperwork and witnesses, so just go ahead and sign here. Mmhm, yep.”

[SFX: Pens scritching]

[C] “Well… congratulations. You’re married. Here, I have to toss a tiny bit of sparkly confetti.”

[He does so with minimal effort]

[C] “Yay.”

“Yay! Baby, we’re official!”

[He scoops you up into his big old arms, snuggling you close]

“C’mon! Dad’s probably got the barbecue going and I bet you anything Mom made your favorite dessert. Everyone’s going to be so happy to see you! Let’s go feast!”

[<3]

[He carries you off happily. You see his brothers gesture to their eyes and then back to the clerk before they trudge after you]

[Scene transitions to a pleasant backyard barbecue]

[SFX: General barbecue/family gathering noises]

[Everyone in his family greets you warmly and cheers as you both show off your rings]

“Guys, I have a WIFE! I HAVE A WIFE! Look at her, look at how pretty she is!”

[Pause!]

[He laughs]

“I know they all know you already! But now I get to introduce you as my wife!”

[He makes a sort of gesture of wonder, eyes sparkling]

“~My wife~, heehee. I’m so happy, like… My jaw hurts from smiling so much! I’m kind of surprised it hasn’t broken over the years we’ve been together.”

[Pause]

[His smile turns softer]

“Don’t apologize for us not being allowed to marry in a church. I just want to be with you, that’s all. I think my family would bonk me with a stick if I didn’t appreciate my feisty little sweetie who always tries to stand up for me. You might not be an Orc, but you’re one of us. Family til the end!”

[Pause?]

[He cocks his head slightly]

“How would I feel about the family getting bigger? Well, I mean, my brothers will probably find nice partners soon, so I guess it’ll happen one day, right?”

[Pause]

“How would I feel if it happened sooner than that…? I mean, I guess fine. More’s always better!”

[He smiles cheerfully. You wait… wait… wait… waiiiiit]

“... WAIT!”

[He jumps up, grabbing people’s attention]

“Wait, are you-?!”

[<3]

[He freezes for a second before he throws his arms up and sort of victory yells]

“I’M GONNA BE A DAD!!!”

[SFX: His family being similarly excited/wonderfully obnoxious]

“My spicy girl! We’re gonna have a spicy baby but not literally because that would be weird but I’m gonna be a DAAAAD!”

[It’s hard not to smile as he rushes around excitedly, headbutting with extreme affection]

[His father lumbers over and you hug, as always]

[G] “Mmh. That’s why I like you. No fancy announcements, no demands for attention, you’re just happy to be with us. Fren couldn’t have picked a better wife. But… there’s something for us to discuss…”

[Pause?]

[G] “When you two started getting serious, I told you that we’d take care of you like we’d care of any of ours, so long as you were good to him. You’ve been wonderful to all of us. Here in emergencies and celebrations, tutoring some of the young ones, even cooking holiday dinners for a family of Orcs. Of. ORCS.”

[He rumbles with laughter]

[G] “I know your family isn’t… family, anymore. I know you fear them bothering you here. I want to offer you a gift that Annie and I have been saving for you. And, I know, you don’t want to be a ‘burden’, you don’t want to ‘owe’ us, but I’m going to, respectfully, ask you to not be stubborn on this.”

[Pause?]

[G] “We want to help you purchase a home.”

[Pause!]

[He holds a hand up]

[G] “Enough. You’re starting a family. You’re finishing school and Fren is starting his career. Family is a net, and a good net is in place before someone falls. So, let us help you build that net.”

[...]

[He rumbles and hugs you as you start to cry]

[G] “Shh, it’s OK… We may not be humans, but we stick together, good and bad.”

[Fren races over the second he sees you crying]

“Baby? Is everything OK?”

[G] “Everything’s OK, son. We’re just setting up a time to go house hunting.”

[Your husband frowns, confused]

“You and Mom are looking for a new house? But… this one is so nice!”

[Greg snorts and shakes his head]

[G] “Mmhm. Feisty here agreed to tag along. You should come with, we’ll make an event of it.”

“OK! But… But we have to be real gentle with the baby, right? Can we put some pillow armor on? Ooh! Do you think it can hear me? Hiii. Hi, sweet baby… I’m your daddy! I already love you so much that my heart feels all…glowy!”

[He rests an ear on your stomach, cooing happily. His father meets your eyes and shakes his head, smiling]

[G] “Hmhm… Well, c’mon. All of this food isn’t going to eat itself. C’mon, Feisty! Let’s make this night a good one.”

[You’re pulled back in with your ‘new’ family, surrounded by positivity, laughter, and the occasional punch from brother to brother. It’s not what you imagined but… you think it might just be better]

[The End]

Note: Pls accept this wholesomeness as an apology for all the angst lately <3
