Aunt Family has a landing page here
After Courting.
"Bear-bear." Beryl's older sister stuck her head into Beryl's room without knocking. "Take off the damn talking necklace, leave the crazy cat here. We. Are going shopping." She wrinkled her nose. "Ugh, and put on a real shirt."
Beryl didn't even know where to start. "Shopping?" That seemed like a good place to start.
"Jake's agreed to drive us to the mall."
That didn't help. "Jake?"
"Look, you're getting a bit weird lately." Chalcedony barged the rest of the way in and started digging through Beryl's clothes. "Here, wear this. This one is good." She tossed a green shirt at Beryl. "You haven't worn it since you got that stupid necklace. What does it disagree with him?"
"How did you...?"
"Stone told me. Don't worry, you're still the spark in the family. Well, I mean, the girl spark."
"I'm not worried! I just... didn't know."
::Nor should there have been anything for you to know. Your brother. That's not supposed to hap:: Joseph fell quiet as she pulled off the necklace.
"Okay." She slipped off the shirt that Joseph liked and pulled on the one her sister had picked. "So shopping. And Stone's been being Stone-y. But I haven't been being weird... have I?"
"Just a little. Ever since Aunt Evie. I mean, yay, Jake, but you haven't even been talking to him much the last few weeks. Is it the cat or the necklace.
"...Both." She changed her jeans and tried to do something with her hair. "Radar doesn't like him, and Joseph likes him too much."
"Ouch, awkward. Well, lucky for you, then, you have me and Stone, too."
"Yeah? What do you think?"
"I think you should do something else with your hair. Look. Forget the family bullshit. Aunt Evie is really young, and you're really, really young."
"Thanks, I think."
"Look, the point is - even if you're gonna be an Aunt later, you're not, now. you're a kid. So why not be a kid?" Chalcedony tugged Beryl's hair into a braid. "There. You're almost pretty and stuff. Let's go."
"One second." She dropped the necklace into her sweater drawer and made sure it was firmly closed. "Let's go."

This should probably have a question mark and a quotation mark: Is it the cat or the necklace.
