Drinkin' with the wife an' her daddy [quietlikehim] & [cantbewithhim]

[delmar_heir]

Mark drove to the liquor store behind Ennis' truck, whoopin' an' hollerin' and generally making a fool of himself, listening to the beautiful sound of tin cans trailing behind them. He knew he was tailgating poor Mr. del Mar, but he couldn't help it, this was exciting! Mark Hammel had done it, he'd taken a wife. There weren't nothing better than

Junior was giggling as she watched her new husband (!) as he whooped and hollered. There was no denying that he was excited and she was too, it was rubbing off on her. She couldn't hide the big smile on her mouth as she glanced back at the tin cans that were trailing, flying and rolling over each other behind the truck. She couldn't believe it either, she had taken a husband and now she was a Missus. Missus Hammel.

"We should get some whiskey, we downed most of his the other night." She giggled. Then she slid across the seat, sliding her arms around his neck as she leaned in and kissed the spot behind his ear. "I love you, Mr. Hammel."

God, she was getting a kick out of that.

[delmar_heir]

"Y'know, I always was Mr. Hammel, you just ne'r bothered t'call me that," he joked, turning to kiss her on the mouth.

There weren't nothing better than this.

[quietlikehim]

"No, you didn't get to be Mr. Hammel till you had a Missus Hammel." She teased, returning the kiss before sliding back a bit. She didn't want to get them a ticket of some sorts on their wedding day.

She waited till they got to the liquor store and parked, then she was practically flying out of the seat. She was giddy! Sliding out of the truck, she bounced over to her father's truck. "What kind of beer do you want, Daddy?"

[cantbewithhim]

"What kinda beer?" he echoed, confused as he climbed out of his truck. "Reckon St. Pauli Girl is fine 'nough."

[quietlikehim]

She clinked her glass against Mark's, taking a small sip before stealing another kiss.

When her dad walked in with a young blond, she smiled over at Jenny, "Hello there." She moved forward, offering her hand, "It's nice to meet you."

Then she paused, arching a brow, "Earth wedding?"

[delmar_heir]

Mark chuckled, champagne and happiness going to his head like no whiskey could.

"S'awful nice t'meet a friend of Mr. del Mar," he said, still not convinced she weren't his girlfriend or something like that, although she did seem quite young..

Then he heard Jenny's declaration and Alma's echo and he paused a moment before offering a wry smile.

"You an alien or somethin', Jenny?"

[cantbewithhim]

"Call me Ennis at leas'," he said a bit crossly, leaning over to smack Mark on the elbow. "Yer family now so you should be callin' me daddy, but I reckon Ennis is close 'nough."

His eyes widened at the exchange, but he tried to stay out of it, laughing a long with Mark a bit. "She ain't no alien."

He saw the cups on the table and poured some champagne for Jenny and, what the hell, some for himself.

Jenny watched the couple interact with a small smile. She never did actually see a proper pair in love before. After all, Dad and Donna only travelled together.

It was kind of nice.

But Ennis' reply to Mark's question snapped her out of her thoughts. She looked up sharply.

"Yes I am!"

[cantbewithhim]

He frowned lightly in thought, taking another slow sip of beer and peeling at the label a bit.

"How's it that somethin'comes to be at th'end of th'universe?" Ennis asked, his voice very soft and uncertain.

[bitunlikely]

She quickly finished the rest of her champagne, laughing lightly at Mark's response.

"I've been told it's magic," Jenny answered with a touch of scorn in her voice, "but it's very clearly very good spaceship design."

[quietlikehim]

She still didn't know what to think and so she remained silent, sipping the beer that Mark had passed over to her. She didn't know if Jen was joking but it seemed like she wasn't.

"So...what do you do?" She asked after a moment.

[delmar_heir]

Marked laughed at her, pushing Ennis to go get them all more alcohol.

"Please, daddy," he joked, award winning smile stretching his face.

"Y'know, Alma, I ain't sure yer supposed to ask an alien what she does." He shook his head in mock disapproval, handing Ennis his glass.

[quietlikehim]

She looked quietly over at her father, sensing the growing tension from his side and she felt herself stiffening just a little. "It wasn't." She murmured.

"Jen, can you excuse me?" She slipped out of her chair, grabbing the smokes as she moved around and opened the front door. Moving out into the grass, she lit a smoke and drew in a deep inhale.

[delmar_heir]

Mark moved to go after her, but Ennis held up his hand and so he kept his seat.

[cantbewithhim]

"Sorry," he said softly, nodding to Jenny before ducking out front to join his daughter.

"I shouldn'ta said that."

[bitunlikely]

Jenny looked over at Mark in confusion, the two of them now being the only ones left in the room.

"What happened? Did I say something wrong?"
