" I know it's taken a long time for everyone to trust or at least tolerate each other but both of us have an announcement." Esme looked around looking at her sisters, The Struckers, Lorna and Aurora.  All of them had been brought to the large dining area of the small Hellfire Club base that was turned into Andy and Esme's home.  Everyone was sitting down and happy to see each other.

Polaris had become like a pseudo sister and mentor to Andy and a close friend to Esme.

Aurora was like everyone's adorable little sister and niece. Almost no one could say no to her. Since she was born she was a ball of hope and potential and that wasn't just figuratively.

She could literally light up a room or someone by mere touch or attract light to herself and others. An adorable appearance with a matching ability and a love for mischief.  She once turned John into a walking flashlight for a couple hours and did the same to anything in her room when it was dark.

" I wish John, and Clarice would've been able to make it here today along with Sage for this announcement.  Andy contributed to what Esme was going to say.

" It's taken a long time to do this but I was able to propose to Esme. And she said yes. Hopefully there's going to be not that long of a wait. We still have a lot to take care of."

Reed and Catlin were overjoyed about one of their children finally tying the knot. For Lauren she couldn't believe how her younger brother grew up.  She still remembered the days when he couldn't talk to girls or get then to notice him.

" I can't believe this but I can't say it's really surprising. Ever since Clarice threw those flowers at her he has been focused on your relationship. " To Andy's embarrassment his sister figured out exactly what motivated him.

Sophie, and Phoebe gave identical smiles but were curious. " How was he able to ask you without you figuring it out?"

" He merely thought of everyone single possible way he wanted to ask. Countless ones that he allowed me to see in his mind. He figured out a way to perfectly ask a telepath to to marry someone." They were impressed by Andy's idea but tried not to show it.

" Smart move able to implement her power." Lorna smiled before stopping Aurora who was binding golden blinding light to  silverware. " But why did you want me to bring Aurora along for the announcement. "

" We need a flower girl and we've been trying to figure out the roles and she's the only and perfect option.  Besides glowing flower petals will make it memorable."  Esme answered her before looking at Aurora's black hair speckled with green.

" Andy's already got a design for the invitations and we need everyone's help in choosing a location. The Hellfire Club's acquired luxurious places most of which have room for hundreds. "

Andy finished it off." We need family and friends to help us. We've decided on not doing some traditions like bachelor parties but still there's a lot for us to fo through.  We've settled on a few things but we need everyone's help."

" I couldn't imagine not playing a big role in this." Catlin and Reed were close to tears.

" Besides it's our little boy and our future daughter in law.  We will all be more family then we are now. No one is just going to let you two do all the work. "

" This is the best response me and Andy could have expected. Thank you."
