Disclaimer: Nope, last time I checked, I wasn't Douglass Adams.
Anthonys pov
We raced inside laughing at the way we pictured our parents reactions.
Zara and Emeily met us outside.
"Whats up with you two?" They asked, noticing our behavior.
"Im gonna go in." I said . I looked at Mercedes.
"Dont tell?" she asked "I want to"
"Dont worry, I wont." I promised, giving her a kiss.
Mercedes pov
"So... are you gonna tell?" Emeily begged.
"Please tell Mercy." Zara begged.
I grinned slowly, immagening their reactions.
"He asked me." is all I said
Zara's eyes went wide and her jaws dropped; while Emily just squealed
"Really!" they both asked.
I held up my left hand,"Yep"
"Congrats" the three... Wait, one of those voices was male.
"Daddy!" I exclamed, turnning around. "Did he tell?"
He grinned " Nope I just heard you."
"Let me tell mom" I said
He laughed, "Ok "and disapeared back inside.
Zara and Emily hadent said a word the entire time; I turned toward them
"Well, arent you gonna say anything?" I asked
Zara smiled "Tell everyone else first, we'll make a fuss over you latter"
I grinned," Alright" I said, and went inside.

"Hey mom?"I said comming into my parents bedroom. Anthony was downstairs, getting Arthur and Fenchurch.
"What is it?" she asked, concirned
"Nothings wrong." I reassured her "Its just that Anthony and I need to tell you something"
"Alright. " she replied. "But what about..."
"Dad already knows."
"Alright," she said, heading downstairs toward the living room.
Anthony met us downstairs. "Whose asking them you or me?"
"Why dont we both tell them."I said, slipping past him into the room.
"Tell us what?" Arthur asked, suspecally.
"Youd better not be..."
"Dont worry mom, Im not." I glanced at Anthony.
He nodded. I took his hand, carelessly letting the light from the lamp hit my ring.
Mom gasped. "Are you..."
"Yes mom, were getting married."
Arthurs jaw droped, as both women made their way to me, tears in their eyes.
"Congrats hon." Anthony's mom said giving me a hug. "You know , your entering the best stage of your life."
(A/N: Ive heard that I dont know how many times, because im entering high school this fall.)
"Thanks." I said bleaming.
Mom either coulnt or wouldnt say anything. She gave me the biggest bear hug I've ever been in.
"I cant beleve Im losing my baby girl." she sobbed, clinging me tighter.
"Mom, your not losing me, I said "Besides, wouldnt you prefer Anthony to anyone else?"
She held me at arms leingth. "Yes, I guess I would prefer him to most of the other guys." she said pulling me close. "You have my blessing." she said, smiling thorugh her tears.
"Thanks mom." I said giving her a kiss.
