Chapter 12: Time Passes and Good News Abounds

AN: Thank you Ulyferal for helping me with this story and also thank you everyone for the reviews thanks!

Three years later....

Since Shawn had altered so drastically in appearance, the Master felt he would have to finish school with a tutor rather than attend the high school. He didn't like it much but with Dania by his side he tolerated it.

Just as Colleen predicted, Dania was actually thrilled by his new appearance and it did indeed improve his love life with her. He graduated with good grades and attended Dania's graduation at the high school with pride. He received many odd looks from his former classmates but no one bothered them as he was standing with the Rovers who had attended as well.

Dania's parents were taken aback but since he'd helped rescue their daughter and it was plain she loved him, they gradually grew to care for him as well.

During the last two years, he trained with the Rovers to become a part of their team, fighting evil. His mental powers had grown with use and the Master had helped him learn to use them in battle. It certainly came in handy getting the team out of jams and warning them of danger.

Dania had moved into the Rover's Headquarters to be with him as they became a close couple. One day, three years later, Dania and Shawn were laying on the bed in their room. She had her head laying on his chest while he gently caressed her hair.

"Do you think they'll accept the news and won't faint in front of us?" Dania asked after their discussion about an exciting event that was happening in their life now.

"Uh, well, maybe. I know my family wont have problems with it but yours...let's just say I'm rather nervous about tonight," he murmured.

"Yeah, so am I. Well, all we can do is hope for the best," she sighed.

"Yeah."

That evening, both the couple's families arrived at a very nice restaurant for a joint dinner. They were escorted to a nice private room, big enough for all of them. For once, Shawn's family didn't do anything that would embarrass him as they had a delicious meal. The conversation, however, was boring for Shawn and Dania as the adults talked avidly about job, money, and other things.

When desert was served, it was Exile who asked, "so, why did you invite us to dinner tonight, son?"

"Yes, I'd like to know that as well, though, we're not unhappy to have had such a nice evening together, I'm still curious as to why you felt the need to do it," Mr. Johnson said.

Now that the time had come, Shawn and Dania were extremely nervous. Clasping their hands together beneath the table to give them courage, Shawn cleared his throat and spoke for both of them.

"First thank you for coming and I'm glad you all enjoyed it. Secondly, Dania and I have an announcement to make..." he started than choked, unable to continue. He gave his girlfriend a frantic look.

Sighing, Dania gave him a small smile then looked at everyone. "Shawn asked me this morning if I would marry him and I said yes," she said, glowing with happiness.

The females squealed with joy while the males choked on their food in shock.

When they were recovered, everyone wished them congratulations and slapped him on his back while the females hugged Dania.

Her father finally got everyone's attention as he asked, "so, when's the big day?"

"In three months," the couple said together. Everyone laughed.

Mr. Johnson was a bit shocked at the speed of it and was going to say something but was jabbed in the side by Mrs. Johnson who shot him a 'don't mess this up' look. He subsided and sighed. The Rovers, meanwhile, cheered and talked all at once about the arrangements.

"We're so happy for you both...what great news!" Hunter shouted.

"Well, actually there's more news," Dania captured their attention by saying, her face blushing.

Shawn gulped hoping their families wouldn't be unhappy with their other news. The room got quiet as they all waited expectantly for her to speak.

"I'm pregnant," she blurted without preamble.

Eyes widened and spoons and forks were dropped..

Hunter was the first to say, "well, I wouldn't have predicted that...bummer!"

"That's fantastic news!" Colleen gushed after the stunned silence ended in multiple cheers and congratulations.

Mr. and Mrs. Johnson weren't so pleased exactly but there wasn't much they could do about it.

Shawn sighed in relief as he pulled his wife to be close and gave her a warm kiss. "Well, they took it rather well, don't you think?" He murmured in her ear.

Dania snorted, "not my parents so much but I think they'll be okay with it when they see their grandchild."

"Wonder what it will look like?" Shawn mused.

"Won't know until it get here," Dania said. "But will love him or her just the same no matter what they look like!" She said stoutly.

"You betcha!" Shawn beamed.
