True and her family were outside Grizelda's castle. It was the day after they had told Zee and his family the news, and now it was time for Grizelda to find out. Like Zee's family, they had also told Grizelda and her aunt and uncle that they were coming. 

"Would you like to knock little wish?" asked Courage

"Sure." said True

True knocked on the left door, and Grizelda's aunt Gloria answered.

"Oh hello everyone! Come on in!" said Gloria

 Everyone entered the palace

"Hey Gregory, they're here!" Gloria called

Gregory walked over.

"Hi guys. How are you all?" asked Gregory

"We're fine." said Courage

"Grizelda is in her room True. Why don't you and Bartleby go get her and come to the living room, then your parents can tell you the news." said Gloria

"Ok. Come on Bee." said True

 "Alright." said Bartleby

True and Zee went to Grizelda's room while the grown ups went to the living room.

As True and Bartleby entered, Grizelda was admiring herself in a big mirror.

"Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the most dazzling person of them all? Oh who am I kidding? It's obviously me!" said Grizelda

"Hi Grizelda!" said True

 Grizelda turned around.

"Oh, hi True. So, what do you think?"

"You look great Grizelda!" said True

"Thanks. I know." Grizelda said, looking her hair. Then, Frookie  woke up from his nap on Grizelda's bed, hopped down, and ran towards Bartleby.

"Oh no! Frookie wait!" Bartleby yelled

Frookie pounced on Bartleby, knocking him over, and began licking his face.

"Ew, not again!"Bartleby groaned

"Alright Frookiekins, that's enough. Get off." said Grizelda

 Frookie hopped off and ran over to Grizelda. Then, Bartleby got up.

"Are you alright Bee?" True asked

"Yeah, I'm fine. But that dog really has to learn boundaries." said Bartleby

"So uh, anyway, I overheard the phone call my aunt had with your mom earlier. Don't you guys have some news or something to tell us?" Grizelda asked

"Uh huh. It's really exciting! Come to the living room and we'll tell you." said True

"Ok." said Grizelda. She picked up Frookie and followed True and Bartleby out the door. They all went to the living room, where the grown ups were all sitting. True and Bartleby say between Courage and Faith on one couch, and Grizelda sat between Gregory and Gloria on another.

"Alright, so now that we're all here, go on and tell us the news. I'm very anxious to hear what it is. I've been waiting all morning!" said Gloria

Courage and Faith held each other's hand and looked at each other while smiling. Then, they looked forward.

"Well, we're expecting the arrival of a new little person." said Faith

 "Hmm. New little person." Gloria wondered *GASP!* Oh my goodness! Faith are you pregnant?!

Faith nodded.

"Oh darling we're so happy for you!" Gloria said while getting up and hugging Faith.

 "You're having a baby? Oh wow! So will it be a boy or a girl?!" Grizelda asked
