The Grimm's office always had a burnt pine smell that wafted throughout the room. Milton sat at his desk with his hands folded on his desk. Giles stood next to him coughing in his hand to help the awkward silence. Dexter sat in a burgundy chair with leather lining. He fingered at the gold butting sewed in along the chair. Raven sat in an identical chair next to him with her legs crossed. Milton sighed and neatly straightened his papers and tucked them away in his drawer.
"I looked past the rebellion, I looked past the Dragon Games incident, I looked pass your relationship by making him your good king, I thought I was being fair..." he said putting his fingers together.
"But a Teen pregnancy?! This is the first one in school history! You should have waited until AFTER high school to... um..." he started to mumble at the topic of sexual behavior.
"Anyways, you are not hexpelled, but, you must inform you parents. No hex uses." He demanded. Dexter tensed up. Raven sighed.
"I will ask my dad if he will host a dinner at our castle. I will invite the Charmings and close friends to stay the weekend." She said texting her dad. After a few moments, he texted back agreeing to a dinner. She put her phone back into her purse.
"Good. Now go and get ready, tomorrow we have Friday off so you can go then... AND NO FUNNY BUISNESS!!" He exclaimed. Dexter and Raven nodded as they got up and left.
"I better go get packed, the limo carriage will pick us up tomorrow. Love you." She gave him a quick kiss and left sadly. She texted her closest friends and Dexter called his parents. Everything was set.

Raven and Dexter waited in front of the school at 9:00 in the morning and saw Daring, Rosabella, Apple, Darling, Cerise, Cedar, Maddie, Poppy, Melody, Holly, Bunny, Briar, Ashlynn, Blondie, and Cupid come also with their luggage. The Charmings were coming on a different carriage to Raven's castle. A huge carriage pulled up with Ebony linings. The coachmen got all the luggage and put it in the giant trunk. Everyone climbed in and got themselves comfy. It had long comfy seats, 3 TVs, 5 snack bars, and 2 stereos with outlets and a wifi router. Raven snuggled up next to Dexter. After a few minutes of driving she stood up and cleared her throat.
"Attention everyone. You are all my friends and I thank you for comming. I know no one has everyone has ever seen my castle but I can promise it is nice. The ride is 6 hours but make yourself comfy. I hope you all enjoy yourselves." Everyone clapped and continued talking to eachother. Raven reached into the mini fridge and pulled out a bowl of fairy berries and chocolate milk. Dexter looked at her odd food choice.
"Food cravings." She replied as she popped a berry in her mouth. She pulled a big blanket over her and Dexter.
After 6 hours of driving, they got to the gates of the castle. The students stared in awe as they saw a castle that should be for giants. It was silver with black linings and towers. The walls were 17 feet tall that were 2 miles long around the castle. It held a beautiful garden, fountains, pools, tennis court, gazebos, and stables. The village was 15 miles wide with millions of villagers, farms, and so much more. Apples jaw dropped, everyone was saying how cool it looked.
"We are here your highness," the driver said to Raven through a loud speaker. She woke up and stretched. She looked out the window and saw her dad in the front of the castle. 
"Raven you didn't tell us you had the best kingdom ever!" Cedar said with glee.
"I don't know if it's the best ever.." she said with stern expression.
"I know but I don't like to gloat. We are named the most successful kingdom in the world." She replied. The carriage stopped in front of the regal castle. As all the teens stepped out of the carriage, the royal butlers and servants grabbed their suitcases and put them in their assigned rooms. Raven ran up and hugged her dad as Dexter gave him a handshake. Dexter and the Good King met a few times during the summer but he never really stayed the night. The Good King had no problem with Raven being with Dexter, as long as she was "safe" and used protection. He knew how teens were, but he wasn't too excited about Dexter being another man in Raven's life either. They all walked in and saw King and Queen Charming sitting in a love seat in one of the royal front rooms. They came up to hug their children.
"It's so nice to see all of you, but why the sudden weekend getaway?" Queen Charming asked. Raven nervously chuckled.
"Hey! Let's get ready for Dinner! Let's go to our rooms." Raven said diverting away from the question. The King and Queen Charming stayed in the Royal Suite. Apple and Darling stayed in the Princess Suite. Daring and Rosabella stayed in the Beauty Suite. Dexter and Raven stayed in Raven's room, and all of the other teens got their own individual suites as well. Raven was getting changed for dinner as Dexter was fixing his tie.
"I don't know what to do Dex. How am I going to tell my dad that I am pregnant?! And your parents! What about them?" She went on slipping on her heels.
"Raven it will be okay. I will be right there with you." He kissed her on the forehead. She applied her lipstick and took in a deep breath.
"Let's do this."
