"Why did we call this family meeting today," Isadora asked, "We're mostly all here, but we don't know why."

"I suppose we'll find out eventually," Quigley replied.

Five out of the six adults were standing in Duncan's office in his house, where they usually met for their family meetings. The only person who wasn't present was Violet, who said she would be here momentarily with whatever the subject of their meeting was. Duncan had called her twice now and she had simply said she would be here soon. The suspense was kind of putting them all on edge. Duncan and Quigley were pacing, and Klaus, Isadora, and Fiona were all distracting themselves with books.

After some more time passed, Violet entered the room with a smile. However, she wasn't alone. With her was now 19 year old Trevor, Sunny's boyfriend.

Klaus raised a brow at his sister, "Uh, not to be rude Violet, but didn't you say this was a family meeting?"

Violet smiled, "Trevor is actually the subject of this meeting. Which means we can finally get it started; whenever you're ready, go ahead and start."

Everyone's eyes were now on the young man before them. He looked nervous and very uncomfortable at the attention he was receiving. He also looked anxious, as if whatever he was about to say was incredibly important. He glanced between each of the six adult family members. His hands were shaking slightly. After a while of tense silence, Trevor took a deep breath and presented to them something from his pocket.

"Violet, Klaus, I'm here to ask your permission to marry Sunny."

In his hand was a small ring box with a lovely diamond engagement ring inside. Trevor had recently gained his inheritance from his parents' deaths, from when he was young, and had surely spent a considerable amount on this gift just from looking at it. Everyone in the room stared in shock, after a few moments the rest of the family turned their attention to Violet and Klaus.

Sunny's two older siblings were wide eyed in disbelief. Trevor looked faint waiting for someone to say something.

"You're... you're going to propose to our sister," Violet said quizzically.

"Yes, I am... We've been together for years now and I really love her. I want to be with her, if she'll have me. I love Sunny Baudelaire and I promise I'll make her a happy woman. So what do you say?"

Violet and Klaus looked at each other. They didn't say anything out loud, but it seemed to everyone else that they were communicating inside their heads. After another round of silence, Violet and Klaus finally spoke the words that everyone knew they would say when this day came.

"YES!"

Trevor felt an enormous weight lift off his shoulders as the two hugged him, "You really mean it?"

"Of course we mean it! Our sister is getting married," Violet replied excitedly.

"I was starting to wonder when you'd ask," Klaus said wiping his eyes behind his glasses.

"Oh my god we're going to have a wedding," Isadora was practically jumping with excitement.

"Sunny is going to look so gorgeous," Fiona said, "When are you going to ask her?"

Trevor smiled sheepishly, "Today, soon, please don't say a word ok? I'm trying to make it a surprise. I've already told Hunter that I'm doing it, but he's keeping it a secret for me. Bea doesn't know yet either."
