Return Of The Authority
"We're home!" Hunter dropped their luggage at the front door. "How did everything go while we were gone?"
"Pretty well." their daughter, Kaitlyn smiled. "Right, Johnny?" she elbowed her brother.
"Yup. It was all good in the hood." he agreed.
"Amy told us Becky went into labor. How'd you guys deal with that on your own?" Stephanie asked.
"Let's just say it was a little hectic but we managed to not freak out." Kaitlyn explained.
Jimmy walked into the room, "¡Hola! Mis tíos! How was your trip?" He greeted, opening a pack of M&M's.
"Great, thanks for asking. By the way. The album you boys released is doing really well. It's a hit! Same with the t-shirts that AJ helped you design. People are loving it and we think it would be a great idea if you boys go on the Warped Tour this summer."
Jimmy started choking on his candy. Kaitlyn slapped his back a few times. "Warped Tour?! You actually think we're ready for that?"
Syn and Zacky joined the conversation, "Ready for what?"
"My mom and dad said that we can travel on the Warped Tour this summer!"
"That means the albums a hit!" Zacky, Jimmy, and Syn grabbed their cousin and did a group hug and started cheering like little girls.
AJ walked downstairs to see what the commotion was about, "Whats with all the racket?"
"We're gonna go on tour!" Zacky screamed, still jumping up and down along with Jimmy.
AJ had a blank expression. "That means you guys aren't going to be here for 2-3months?"
"Yeah." Syn answered. AJ had tears in her eyes. "Sis, it's only 3 months. We'll be back before you know it."
"It's not that." she wiped her tears away and kneeled on the floor, putting her hands together. "God, I want to thank you for answering my prayers. You the real MVP. Amen." She threw up the peace fingers.
Jimmy put his hand over his chest, "Hurtful."
"How's it going to be possible to go on tour without your lead singer?" AJ asked.
"I'm sure Becky will understand." Hunter commented.
AJ shrugged, "I guess."
"Where is Matt anyways?" Stephanie asked.
"He's helping Becky with the baby at her house."
Stephanie raised her eyebrow, "So they're going to be bringing the baby back and forth?"
Bayley came into the room, "That's what Becky told me."
"Why don't they just stay here?"
"Becky's mom won't let her." Jimmy answered. "She thinks we may corrupt the child."
"Cuz we will." Syn agreed.

-Becky's house-
Becky was rocking her fussy daughter in her arms. She was surprised at how good she was at this. Taking care of Jade turned out being easier than she thought.
"You have to carry her at some point, y'know."
Matt crossed his arms, "Some point, sure. Right now, no."
"Why not?"
"I'm here to observe, ok."
"You're scared."
"Am not!"
"Why the fuck you lyin?"
Matt huffed, "Hand her to me." Becky carefully placed Jade in his tattooed arms, making sure her head was secure. Right when she left her mothers arms Jade started wailing. Matt panicked. "Take her back. She clearly doesn't like me."
"She's just not used to you yet."
Matt pouted, knowing that things were just beginning. All of a sudden his phone started vibrating in his pocket. "Hey, Syn what's up?"
"You'll never guess what we're doing this summer!"
"What?"
"We're going to preform on the Warped Tour!" he, Jimmy, Zacky, and Johnny screamed over the phone.
"I swear to god, if you're lying I'll beat your ass."
"We're going to start traveling in 3 days. So you better be ready." They delivered the news then hung up.
"What was that about?" Becky asked.
"Avenged Sevenfold is going on tour in 3days! This is going to be huge!"
Becky wanted to be happy for him and the guys but she couldn't. "What about Jade? You need to help me with her."
Matt looked down, realizing his dreams of being a successful musician were being shattered. "Becky, this is a one time opportunity. I have to do this. Please tell me you understand."
"Oh I understand." She set Jade in her crib. "I understand that you're one of the most selfish people I've ever met."
"Wow, are you serious right now?" he scoffed, "It's not like I'm going on vacation. This is how I'm going to make money to support you."
Becky rolled her eyes, "Then why don't you find a real job and stop living in a fantasy."
Matt was completely appalled by what Becky had just told him. Did she really think that he wasn't serious about wanting to be a musician? "You know what. I don't need this." he shook his head, heading for the front door.
"Funny, I always predicted that you'd walk out on me at some point."
Matt stood in the doorway. He wasn't much of an emotional person, but what Becky was telling him, actually hurt a lot. "Nice to know that you never believed in me." he told his fiancée without turning around to face her.

-Dean's house-
AJ knocked on the front door until Maria answered using an aggressive tone, "I already told you to get the fu-" she stopped screaming when she realized it was AJ at the door. "Oh gosh, I'm sorry. I thought you were somebody else, AJ. What are you doing here?"
"I just wanted to talk to Dean. Unless he's busy."
"No he's not busy. He's just been locked in his room for the past 3 days. Hopefully you can get him out." AJ nodded and walked up the stairs.
She knocked on the door to Dean screaming, "I don't want to fucking talk to you-!" he then realized it was AJ. "Oh shit. I'm sorry. I thought you were somebody else." he apologized.
AJ tilted her head, "Why is everybody screaming at me thinking that I'm somebody else? I'm just waiting for your dad to do the same thing." she giggled. AJ looked around Dean's room and saw how it was a mess. "Yikes, what happened in here?"
Dean looked around. "If I knew you were coming I would have cleaned up."
"No biggy. Guess what." she smiled widely. "My brothers and Johnny are going on tour for the whole summer! Which means more privacy for us."
Dean rubbed the back of his neck with his hand. "Thats... awesome."
"Are you okay?"
"I have to tell you something."
