announcement will be? Oh well you can just read it!( I don't know if I

Duncan woke up and was beaming. He looked next to him and saw Katy lying there asleep. He looked down at her hand and saw a glistening sapphire sitting on her finger. He smiled and kissed her forehead before getting out of bed. He gathered all of his clothes up and thought that he would start bringing his stuff over here as soon as he told his family. He had to drop Sunny off at school in an hour. He walked over to the side of the bed and whispered goodbye in to Katy's ear.
"Where are you going?" She mumbled half asleep.
"I have to drop of Sunny at school, it's Friday," Duncan answered her.
"Bye," Katy mumbled half asleep. Duncan gave her one last kiss and left. He was still beaming as he hopped into his jeep. He was getting married! He was a little hesitant on telling his siblings because they only met her twice. But he had known her for 2 years and he knew she was the one, well the only one that loved him back. He continued to think about how to tell his siblings as he pulled into the driveway. He saw all 4 cars in front of him in the driveway. "It's now or never," he thought to himself. He took a deep breath and opened the door. He walked up the stone pathway and opened the door. He walked in and didn't see anyone downstairs. He decided to change and shower before he went up stairs to tell everyone. Once he was done he trudged up the stairs procrastinating but he knew that once he reached that top stair he would have to tell everyone. He knew that Quigley and Isadora wouldn't like this because they don't really know her but "I have to tell them," he realized as he opened the door and saw Sunny sitting on the couch doing her homework (last minute.)
"Hey Sunny! Where is everyone?"
"Hi, Klaus and Quigley are in the kitchen and Violet and Isadora are in Ally's room."
"Could you ask everyone to come here I have to tell everyone something?"
"Sure I'll be right back" Sunny went to go get everyone and Duncan sat in the over stuffed chair with his head in his hands trying to convince himself that he could tell them.
"Come on Duncan you can do this it's not like they're going to flip out when they here the new."
"They probably will flip out and then they will never speak to me again."
"Maybe they'll be happy for me and they won't be upset."
"What if Sunny gets upset that I move out I usually help her with her journalism homework every night."
"Maybe-"
"Duncan you wanted to tell us something?" Isadora asked. Duncan looked up and saw all 5 of his family members sitting on the couches in front of him. He stood up but then decided that that was a bad idea so he quickly fell back into the chair.
"Ok, do you guys remember Katy? The one that you met at Christmas and she stayed over here two weeks ago?" Duncan asked.
"Barley, but yes." Quigley answered with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"Well you will be seeing a lot more of her because I asked her to marry me last night!" Duncan exclaimed hoping they would be happy for him. He looked around at the silent expressions on their faces and his smile faded. He saw Isadora's compleatly shocked look and Quigley sitting there with his mouth open.
Violet saw this and stood up, "Congratulations Duncan!" She gave him a hug and then Klaus stood up.
"Congratulations Dun," Klaus said. And then finally Sunny stood up and gave Duncan a big hug.
"Are you going to move out or is she moving here?" Sunny asked.
"I will move to her house but don't worry it is only 10 minutes away and I will still help you with your homework and take you and Emma to and from school on Fridays." Duncan said seeing the hurt look on Sunny's face.
"Cool well we better get going we have to pick Emma up in 15 minutes." Sunny exclaimed. Duncan took one last look back at his siblings sitting dumbstruck on the couch and Duncan and Sunny walked out of the room and Sunny could hear Violet yelling at Quigley.
"Your brother just told you he was getting married and all you did was sit there?"
"He barley knows her!"
"No you mean you barley know her!" Then Sunny heard Violet walk out of the room and when they got downstairs they heard Klaus helping Isadora down the stairs asking her why she wasn't happy for Duncan. Sunny wondered that too If Duncan was happy shouldn't everyone be happy for him? Sunny got into the jeep with her books on her lap.
"Duncan are you going to tell Maryssa?"
"Yeah… sure… I guess…well I mean she invited me to her wedding so yeah I will invite her to mine too. We're still friends so yeah."
"Oh" Sunny looked out the window. Duncan had regretted the breaking up with Maryssa. They had broken up because Maryssa thought he was afraid of commitment. He hadn't proposed to her 3 years ago but 3 years ago he was 23 and he wasn't even considering marriage then. He thought that they had broken up over something stupid but never the less they had broken up but they remained friends. Sunny and Duncan got out of the car and walked up to the door. Sunny knocked on it and Maryssa answered.
"Hello Duncan, Hi Sunny. How was the movie Sunny?" Maryssa asked. Duncan looked confused and Sunny's face turned scarlet.
"What are you talking about?" Duncan asked.
"You didn't hear, Sunny and Emma snuck out last night to see a movie. Not to mention a movie that I told Emma that she couldn't see! Violet caught them." Maryssa exclaimed. Duncan shot Sunny a disapproving look. Emma appeared at the door with her books.
"Ready to go?" She asked desperate to leave.
"Yeah let's go but Duncan didn't you want to tell Maryssa something?" Sunny asked.
"I forgot what I was going to say," Duncan said quickly exiting. Sunny held in a laugh and muttered chicken under her breath. Once they were back in the car Sunny and Emma started comparing who got grounded longer.
"Maryssa grounded me for one month and I have to do all of the chores that she says!"
"Violet grounded me for one month and I have to baby-sit Mikey and Ally for until Isadora has her baby! And she took my cell phone!"
"Maryssa took mine too!"
"You two shouldn't have snuck out then," Duncan butted in, "What did you sneak to meet boys?" Sunny and Emma were completely silent and Duncan got it. "Do Maryssa and Violet know about this? I know about the rule!"
"No they don't and Duncan please don't tell them. I mean I'm 15 and I can't date!" Sunny protested.
"You won't be 15 for 2 more days but I won't tell them as long as you promise not to tell anyone that I chickened out on telling Maryssa," Duncan bargained.
"Telling Maryssa what?" Emma asked.
"That he's getting married. Deal!" Sunny informed her.
"Deal!" Maryssa exclaimed. The car then pulled up to the school. Emma and Sunny got out and started walking toward where Matt and Alec were standing. Duncan was laughing as he pulled away. Once the car was gone Emma decided to tell Sunny now.
"It's a shame that Duncan is getting married."
"Why?"
"Because Maryssa is getting divorced and I thought they would hook up again!" Sunny looked shocked because she knew that Duncan still loved Maryssa.
