Despite only being the true parent of a one-year old, Frank felt like he and Alice had a lot of experience dealing familial bonds and mock children. They basically had unofficially adopted Ralph for the past three years, and through him Miranda, taking the count up to three. And of course, there had always been Emmeline. She would always be the little sister he never had, making it easy to be the authoritative figure in her life.
So when he heard Emmeline say 'you know how much I love you, right?', Frank couldn't help but let out a disgruntled sigh. What was she up to now? He almost didn't want to know. Almost. But after looking out for his four collectively children for so long now, it really wasn't an option; he was far too invested in their lives to turn down anything.
"I'm not going to like what you're going to say, am I?" he responded with a dubious look. This was probably about this new boyfriend of hers, wasn't it? While Frank did enjoy hearing that Emmeline's life was taking a turn for the better, he was quiet sure he would never be pleased with anyone that she dated. Let alone someone that she brought to an important family function like Christmas.
