Detty – Tale as old as time.

Chapter 1 – Big News.

*Note – this takes place 2 years after the season finally, Daniel and Betty are happily living in London and have come too new York for a vacation.*


Daniel had just finished his dinner with his mother, Claire and sister, Alexis. The three made their way into the living room and sat on the sofa sipping champagne.

"Mom, Alexis, there's something I need to tell you," Daniel finally plucked up the courage to say. "As you know, I have been dating Betty for the past year and I feel it's time..." He pulled out an engagement ring form his pocket and presented it to his mother and sister; they looked at each other and smiled "I knew it." Said Claire proudly. "Well it was about time." Alexis said. Claire and her daughter started chatting about how the day had finally come and Betty would be greatly accepted into the family. Daniel however just sat there looking confused.

"Hello? I'm right here you know? And what do you mean 'Betty was always the one?' "Daniel ranted.

"Daniel honey," Claire began, "Since about 5 or 6 years ago we've seen the way you look at her, she has help you with so much Molly, your father that Wilhelmina and she was crazy enough to get herself involved with the rest of this not so normal family." They all chuckled. "So what I'm saying is of all the girls you've ever dated, slept with or even married Betty was always going to be the one for you."

"Thanks mom, for everything." Said Daniel.

"So what are you waiting for? Go get her!"

Daniel laughed, "Hold on Alexis, I know exactly what I'm going to do. Well I better get some rest, early start tomorrow. Bye."

He winked and then kissed his mom and sister on the cheek and made his way home. Claire and Alexis just looked at each other and smile a 'finally' smile. :-).
