The next morning, Raven woke up around ten. "Dex?" Raven said in a tired voice. She looked around their bed room, but no sign of Dexter. Raven got out of her bed and put on a long flowy black dress, and went down stairs to eat breakfast. "Raven!" Raven turned to see Darling running after her. "Hey, Darling. What's up." Darling stopped in front of Raven. Catching her breath, Darling said, "Mom moved up the time for the ball. It's now a brunch. And my family is waiting to see you, so be paired to answer a lot of random questions."Raven just looked at her. "Um, thanks. Hey, do you know where Dexter is?" Darling started to fix her crown. "Yeah, he's in a corner waiting for you." Raven sighed. "I talk about him doing that. It's his family for god's sake." Raven started to walk down stairs angrily. "Raven wait! Could you maybe, um, calm down." Darling said with a sheepish smile. Raven breathed in heavily. "Sorry, mood swings." Darling laughed. "No problem." Darling opened the door for Raven. "Thanks." Darling nodded. Raven heard all the Charming girls sequel. "Raven!" One of Dexter's little cousin yelled as she ran towards her. "Hey, Shiny!" Ran squatted down and pick up the little Charming. "Wow! You're getting big." Raven said. Shiny giggled. "Raven! Your up. Let me look at you. Um, have you thought about dieting?" Raven looked at Dexter's aunt. Raven put down Shiny. "Um, excuse me. I'm sorry I'm not like the other Charming, but for the last time aunt Jezabelle, I'm not going to diet. Now excuse me while I get some breakfast." Raven walked to the food table. She got three pancakes and slathered them up with cinnamon butter and lavender syrup. Raven started to find Dexter as she ate. She found Dexter in a corner on his mirror phone. Raven walked up to him. "Good morning my king." Dexter looked up from his mirror phone. "Raven you're up!" He kissed Raven on her cheek and quickly touched her stomach, but pull it away before anyone noticed. "How are you?" Raven took a bite of her pancakes. "I'm fine. But Dexter, we talked about this. When the family is over, you have to talk with them. You're not sixteen anymore." Dexter looked down at his hands. "Sorry. I'll try to be better." Raven laughed. "I'm not your mom, I'm your fiancee, so don't act like that. I'm not going to ground you," Dexter looked up at Raven. "I know. And I'm glad you are my fiancee."

After about two hours of talking, Raven went to grab the ultrasound picture for Dexter's mom and dad. As Raven grabbed the picture, Dexter sat down his mom and dad, along with the rest of his family. Raven entered to see every Charming looking at her. She walked toward Dexter and his parents and gave the queen the wrapped gift. "Dexter, what's going on?" The queen asked? Dexter just smiled. Raven saw Darling trying to hold back her excitement. The queen unwrapped the gift. She almost dropped the picture, but the king caught it. "Is this real!?! Or is it a prank?" The queen looked at Dexter and Raven. "Mom, why would this be a joke?" The queen put her hand up to her mouth. "What? What is it?" Daring asked.  Raven turned to look at all the Charmings. "I'm pregnant twins." All the girls squealed, and the men yelled "Haza!" Raven smiled and grabbed Dexter's hand. The queen stood up. Everyone went silent. Raven felt sick, but this wasn't morning sickness. The queen hugged Raven, and then Dexter. "So, when are my grandchildren due?" The queen asked. Raven looked at all the Charmings. "Their due December 16." The queen smiled. "Just in time for Christmas." For the rest of the afternoon, Raven and Dexter talked with all the Charmings. But Raven knew she still had to tell her dad and mom. And she didn't know how her mom would take it.
