I remember when Daddy and Mommy got married. Not to each other. That would be weird. See, Mommy married Daddy Finn and Daddy married Daddy Blaine.

Mommy and Daddy Finn had been together a long time. Longer than I've even been alive and I'm almost eight year old. That's a long time. And, they lived in the same house for a lot of that time. Well, for as long as I can really remember.

G.P. Leon always says they're "living in sin". I don't understand that. Sin is supposed to be a real bad thing and bad things don't happen at our house. Except when Mommy makes me eat yucky stuff, you know, like carrots or broccoli.

Daddy and Daddy Blaine have been together almost as long as Mommy and DF. Mommy says they used to be "Marbles". I don't know how a person can be a marble, but that's what Mommy says. Anyway, Daddy became a "Marble" when he left Mommy's high school and went to DB's. DB was in the glee club and Daddy joined, too.

Daddy said that DB always smiled at him and they sang flirty duets together. When Daddy says that, Mommy always smiles and says something about DB being clueless. DB gets this funny look on his face like he's gonna be sick. Mommy laughs and DF just shrugs and I'm just confused.

Anyway, usually only one of my parents come and get me from school, but that day Mommy and Daddy both were waiting for me when I came out of class, and DF and DB were in the car when we got there. Everyone was all excited. I didn't know what was going on, but I wanted to be excited, too.

Instead of going home, we drove over to my G.P.'s house. Mommy was all bouncy and DF looked nervous. Daddy's eyes were all shiny like he wanted to cry or something and he held DB's hand really tight. I was a little scared.

G.P. Hiram answered the door and looked about as confused as I was when he let us all in.

"What's going on?" He asked.

"We have news." Mommy said and then looked around. "Is Daddy here?" G.P. Leon came into the living room just then and Mommy ran over and hugged him.

"What's up, Baby?" G.P. Leon looked really confused, and kinda mad, too. G.P. Leon always looks a little mad. I don't know why.

"We have something to tell you." Mommy said smiling.

"O-kay." G.P. Leon looked at G.P. Hiram and shrugged. Mommy walked back over to DF and held his hand.

"We're getting married." Mommy said and held up her hand. DF held up his hand, too. Mommy had on a diamond ring I'd never seen before and DF had on a silver ring. DF's ring had an "R" on it and a star. That's how Mommy always signs her name.

"Well it's about time." G.P. Leon said putting his hands on his hips and looking at DF with his eyebrow arched.

"Daddy." Mommy said. She sounded like she does when she's telling me to pick up my toys.

"Oh, Sweetie." G.P. Hiram said smiling and pulling Mommy into a hug. "When?"

"Christmas."

"Christmas?" Leon asked. He looked, well, not angry, just like Daddy looks at me when I try to tell him something that isn't true.

"Well, December." Daddy said. "We're going to have a combined ceremony."

"Combined?" G.P. Hiram said surprised.

Daddy and DB showed off their left hands, too. They had on matching gold bands. Daddy's had a "B" on it and DB's had a "K" on it.

"Well, hallelujah." G.P. Leon said. "Finally making honest men of each other, huh?"

"Daddy." Mommy said. She sounded funny. Like a little kid or something.

"Oh, I have got to call Carole." G.P. Hiram said as he moved toward the phone.

"Not yet." Daddy said. "They are our next stop. Don't you dare ruin the surprise."

"Oop." G.P. Hiram said holding his hands up. "Sorry." He smiled and hugged Mommy again. He then bent down to look at me. "So, Kendal, your parents are getting married, huh?" I nodded. "Pretty cool, right."

"Uh-huh." I nodded. Now, that I knew what was going on, I was just as excited as my parents were. I smiled and tried to hide behind DB.

"Silly." G.P Hiram said poking me in the stomach making me laugh.

"We need to get going." DB said. "Come on, Monkey." He bent down and I climbed onto his back. I started laughing when DB started making monkey noises and bouncing around with me on his back.
