Marly "I just really want you guys to like him, and to understand the situation. You don't have to like it, I know you don't. All I'm asking is that you understand it," I slightly pled a bit, looking at them as they silently communicated with each other. Finally, my father nodded and hugged me, saying, "No, we don't like it, but we can understand it. And we do like him, he seems nice." I hugged him back and said, "Thank you, daddy. Mom," I said, holding out my arm for her to hug both of us as well.

Jordan; I breathed in and stood up, rubbing my hands against my shorts. My hands were slightly sweaty, mostly from with her parents being here. But I needed to show I can handle this. I made sure I looked alright in the mirror, glanced over at Delilah, then headed back into the living room seeing Marly & her parents embracing.

Marly I heard Jordan coming back into the room, and my parents and I let go of each other, sharing an understanding smile. "Hey," I said quietly to Jordan.

Jordan; It was right after graduation and I was trying to help led Marly out of the auditorium without getting killed. It was definitely crowded. I had told Aunt J that it'd be easier to just all meet outside. Once we were outside, Delilah attacked me around the neck,"Congratulation!"she said giggling. I chuckled and shrugged, before she went over to Marly.

Marly I grinned and picked Delilah up, hugging her tightly as Aunt Jo hugged us both. "I'm proud of you, sweetie," she said, making a little face at me.

Jordan; I chuckled as I stood back. I had some family here but I never saw my dad which was fine with me. I started talking with some of my cousins, though my mind wasn't focused on it at all. I had other things on my mind.

Marly I chatted with a few of my cousins and my parents, until finally Aunt Jo shepherded us all together and suggested we go back to the house. We all agreed and moved to our respective behold. I rode with Delilah and Jordan.

Jordan; I reached over and took Marley's hand as I drove,"Congratulations beautiful,"I said grinning at her before my eyes looked back at the road. I heard Delilah in the backseat giggling. I looked at her in the rearview mirror,"What are you laughing at munchkin?"I asked. Delilah laughed again and acted like she was zipping her lips.

Marly I laughed at looked at Delilah, "She's being silly," I said, kissing his cheek and placing my head on his shoulder. "Congratulations, sweetheart."

Jordan; I chuckled quietly and squeezed her hand. I pulled into Aunt J's driveway, tons of cars here already. I kissed Marley's lips before getting out and helped Delilah out of her carseat.

Marly I got out of the truck, waiting for him and Delilah before going into the house where everybody already was.

Jordan; I walked beside Marly, my hand on the small of her back, as Delilah opened the door for us. I grinned at everyone here, excited. It was a nice thing to have people you're close to there for you. I wasn't nervous about asking Marly, maybe nervous about her answer.

Marly I hugged a few more people I hadn't seenn before at the school, and my mother came out of the kitchen with Aunt Jo. She clapped her hands and grinned at everybody. "We've got food here in the kitchen! Everybody eat up!"

Jordan; I smiled as I glanced over at Marly's mom. I couldn't really eat right now, I don't think I could swallow anything without it coming back up.

Marly I picked up Delilah, going through the line of food and making a plate for each of us. AfterI had sat her at the table to eat, I sought out Jordan. "Hey," I said once I'd found him. "You aren't going to eat?"
