A month passed after we had seen the Camdens for the last time. Today, the whole family including T-Bone, Jane, Margaret, Mac, Sandy and Aaron are going to Simon's graduation. Matt and Mary with their families are there as well.
After the graduation, all of them met for a dinner in a restaurant.
„Simon! We haven't seen you for ages," cried Annie while hugging her son.
„Son," said Eric. „congratulations."
„Thanks. Oh my gosh, I can't believe you really took the dogs with you! Happy, hi."
„Ruthie! I've missed you so much," said Simon. „And this must be the guy, whose name is tattooed on my small sister's back, isn't it?"
„Nice to finally meet you," said T-Bone.
„Lucy! Kev! Savannah, hi, sweetie." greeted Simon. „Luce, you look great."
„Mary and Carlos! Hey Charlie. Michaela. Chuanita!"
„Opposite." whispered Mary.
„Chuanita," Simon picked his small niece up. „and Michaela."
„Matt! I'm happy to see you, bro." said Simon, „Sarah! And this must be Noah and Nathan. Noah has Sarah's hair, doesn't he?"
„Sam! David! You guys are so big."
„Yep! We're big boys." „We're eight, now." said the twins. Everybody laughed.
„Sandy, hi. And Aaron." continued Simon. „And you are…?"
„Jane," she blinked. „And this is Margaret and her boyfriend Mac. We used to live with your family."
„Of course." remember Simon. „I bet you are all wondering what my great surprise is, aren't you?"
„Yes!" shouted everyone.
„There she comes," Simon pointed to the door. There was a girl coming towards them. Jane looked disappointed.
„Oh, Cecilia? Is that you?" asked Annie.
„Yeah, I'm so happy to see all of you again," answered Cecilia. Sam and David both run towards her at the same time."
„So the two of you are… ?" asked Lucy. „…dating?"
„Well, actually," Simon smiled. „We're engaged." There was silence for a moment. Nobody spoke. Ruthie already knew, obviously. She was the one who spoke first.
„Congratulations. Welcome to the family, Cecilia!"
„Like she said." said Eric. „We're happy for you." Simon had a strange look on his face.
„Is there something else?" asked Mary. „When are you planning the wedding?"
Cecilia and Simon looked at each other. „It's tomorrow." said Cecilia quietly. Everyone was in a state of shock. „Look at it in a practical way. You all are here and the Smiths are here, too." said Simon.
Ruthie started laughing. „I knew this was gonna be fun." she whispered to T-Bone.
